Chairman and CEO’s
commentary
The fiscal year 2022 has been a
successful year for Gentrack with
progress on a number of fronts. Across
both Utilities and Airports (Veovo), we
won several new customers and are
successfully expanding into larger
customers in line with our strategy.
Finally, our peoples’ pride and
engagement is strong and continues
to improve – helping us to deliver great
results across our customer programs.
Financial performance
Strong revenue results were driven by a
21.6% increase in the Utilities business
to $108.2m. This impressive growth was
achieved against the backdrop of UK
insolvencies at the start of the year in
the B2C energy market. Our underlying
growth, excluding those insolvencies
was 24.3%. Veovo’s annual recurring
revenue continued to grow up 9.2%
over FY21, underpinning total Veovo
revenue growth of 7.9% to $18.1m.
EBITDA performance was $8.1m, $4.6m
lower than FY21 after funding our
planned increase in strategic R&D
spend alongside growing our Sales &
Marketing base and investment in our
people capability.
Our cash position improved against
the backdrop of business growth,
which allowed us to both invest in our
products and our people and generate
cash in the year. Net cash at $27.4m on
30 September 2022 was $1.4m higher
than the prior year.
In light of the NPAT loss, the Board has
decided not to pay a dividend.

Business growth
FY22 has reinforced Gentrack’s
increasing win rate and innovation with
existing customers. We secured 6 new
logos in our Utilities business including
Mercury, now New Zealand’s largest
energy supplier, who chose to integrate
their newly acquired Trustpower
business onto the Gentrack platform
to grow their multi-segment business
and achieve market leading operational
metrics. We see growth opportunities
in Australia, New Zealand and the UK
across both the water and energy
sectors.
EBITDA: $8.1m
down $4.6m in line with
guidance and tech investment
g2.0 launched: our
technology stack modernised
as cloud native
No dividend payable
Looking forward, we plan to expand
beyond these core geographies and
have launched our 50 in 15 program;
the first big step towards our global
leadership by striving to service 50
million meter points in 15 countries.
During the year we secured a major
new customer in Singapore which is an
example of the progress we are making
in growing our pipeline in the wider
APAC region. Alongside Asia, we will
focus on expanding out into EMEA from
our UK base.
Our Veovo business has consistently
grown its recurring revenue across
the aviation downturn. In the period
we won Avinor's (Norway) nationwide
Prediction and Forecasting platform
as well as expanded our scope with
Tier one airports in US, Europe, Hong
Kong and Australia. This reinforces our
success in selling to, and servicing, the
larger airports and airport groups which
are our key growth target.
Our technology and
delivery capabilities
In September 2022, we launched
our new composable, cloud based,
technology stack, g2.0. This is a key
milestone for our Utilities business
and brings together three technology
leaders; Gentrack, Salesforce and AWS,
to create a modern next generation
platform. This will allow our existing
customers the opportunity to benefit
from greater flexibility and innovation
and positions us well to win and service
new Tier one and Tier two operators.
At Veovo, our investments during the
pandemic in ‘Airport 4.0’ technology
brings cloud based, AI powered
forecasting and intelligent automation.
These investments are showing
positive signs in both new customer
pipeline and upsells at existing
customers.
Supplementing great software with
capable service delivery is key to
success. We have continued to
demonstrate our capability as a
transformation powerhouse which
provides us with a strong competitive
edge. For example, the consolidation of
nPower’s and E.ON’s I&C business onto
our platform during the year was one
of the largest business transformations
in the industry. We have successful
transformation programs underway
in all of our core markets helping our
customers modernise their technology
and work in a much more agile and
automated manner. Similarly, at Veovo
we have moved all of our passenger
predictability customers to the cloud.
Market dynamics
Both water and energy are essential
services which should be less impacted
in the event of a global economic
downturn. Meanwhile, sustainability
targets for energy and water are still in
effect and are driving an increasingly
accelerating trend of IT and business
transformations in the sector which will
benefit Gentrack.
Chairman and CEO's commentary | 4
Chairman and CEO's commentary | 5
The UK government has taken corrective action to stabilise
the UK B2C energy market. We have not seen any further
customer insolvencies since December 2021, and we expect
this market stabilisation will continue. Bulb, which was placed
into special administration in December, remains a customer,
although the government run process to sell this business looks
closer to completion. We have supported the administrators of Bulb
throughout the year including adding additional services from our
Managed Services offering.
The aviation sector is now seeing passenger numbers and travel
demand returning. We see signs that this recovery will result in new
business as airports seek to invest in ways to improve efficiency and
service and catch up with pent up IT demand for modernisation.
Inflation is of course an issue for all businesses. We retain a strong focus
on cost control, underpinned by well-constructed contracts that allow
us to reflect inflation impacts in our pricing.
We are pleased with the progress made in the year, on sales, on delivering
customer transformations, on building our people capability and
modernising our technology. The water, energy and airports industries
are in need of transformation and Gentrack is well positioned to capture
the global market opportunity.
We’d like to thank all our customers and shareholders for their
continuing support of Gentrack this year. We’d also like to recognise
the tremendous achievements of the whole Gentrack Team in driving
the renewal of the business this year. We look forward to creating
even more value for our shareholders as we support our customers in
the transformation of their businesses.

Despite the impact of a number of
our UK B2C customers going through
the Supplier of Last Resort insolvency
process, we have seen continued
high growth in the UK. In addition to
a strong base of B2C customers, we
are the leader in B2B energy and have
now transitioned more than 90% of
our UK customers onto the cloud to
support their need for agility and
flexibility such as flex contracts. In
this dynamic market our customers
are focusing increasingly on customer
experience, and we have supported
several customers such as Yu Energy,
Engie and others as they embrace the
Salesforce Energy & Utilities cloud to
deliver this.
We have also supported UK market
consolidation with the completion
of one of the largest business
transformations in the industry with
E.ON and npower consolidating onto
our single platform. The newly formed
npower Business Solutions (nBS)
now supplies 33TWh of electricity
and 11TWh gas to British businesses.
At a time when our industry is
facing mounting cost pressures, the
consolidation of the two businesses
puts nBS in a great position to offer
flexible energy solutions and help
British businesses on the complex
road to net zero.
Our Energy Business
Worldwide the energy market is
in an exciting state of transition,
with an increase in the urgency
and importance of the move to low
carbon energy. This brings enormous
opportunity to both retailers and
vertically integrated energy providers.
Across the industry the pace of
transformation is significantly
increasing as changing commercial
and operating models drive the need
for innovation. Our customers are
embracing and leading this transition,
moving along an innovation highway
from offering familiar services such as
relatively static fixed and flex tariffing
to more complex offerings such as
dynamic time of use, multi-brand and
multi-play and low carbon energy
solutions such as solar home bundles.
Gentrack operates in the most
advanced and dynamic markets on the
planet: the world looks at the UK and
Australia to learn and evolve. The UK
is a highly competitive and innovative
market where competition on the
vendor and retailer side has served to
strengthen our core proposition. In
Australia, 30% of domestic properties
now have solar panels on the roof,
while the number of installed batteries
is predicted to continue to rise.
Australia’s high growth in solar and
batteries is due to the favourable
subsidies which have been offered
and regulatory frameworks which
have allowed suppliers to branch out
their offerings to become appealing
to consumers, particularly those
propositions which have addressed the
major barrier of the upfront cost
of these low carbon home systems.
Completing one of the industry's
most significant transformations,
has provided a platform for
npower Business Solutions (nBS)
to lead British businesses on the
road to net zero.

Business
update
Australia is our fastest growing market
and is leading the way in the transition
to low carbon assets for businesses
and the home.
Red Energy continues to be the
leading consumer energy brand in
Australia and is running on Gentrack,
while our customer Power and Water
Corporation is responsible for the
infrastructure and service that delivers
power and supplies water in the entire
Northern Territory. Their service area
is 1.3 million km
2
. By comparison, that
is 5 times the area of the entire UK.
We are also proud to partner too
with major B2B players such as Origin
who were first in the country to
offer 5-minute settlement using new
Gentrack technology. There were some
instances of insolvency in this market,
but these did not impact us and we
are not in a high-risk position in this
regard. Overall, we are very excited
about the potential of this market.
In New Zealand we have had a
phenomenal year. In May 2022,
Mercury acquired Trustpower’s retail
arm, creating the biggest energy
retailer in the country. The business
consolidated onto the Gentrack
system used by Trustpower: a robust
multi-play platform supporting
energy and broadband bundles, with
enhanced automation and reduced
cost to serve. And we are proud to be
playing a part in the transformation
of customers such as Pulse Energy:
a 100% community-owned energy
company, supplying electricity,
gas and broadband to customers
throughout New Zealand. We now
support over 50% of the meters in this,
our home market.
Worldwide our customers are looking
to Gentrack to support them as
more regions start to make the shift
to cleantech. Looking for our help
in creating innovative propositions,
ensuring best-in-class customer
service, and managing and using the
exponentially increasing amounts
of data. In Asia, we recently led a
consortium of Accenture and Smart
Energy Water to win a contract
from one of Singapore’s large and
established energy retailers to deliver
an enhanced customer experience.
Our success in these markets is pivotal
as we move into our next phase of
global expansion.

Globally our customers are looking
for our support to accelerate
the move to cleantech and offer
consumers truly innovative

update
Our Water Business
The need to act sustainably and
responsibly in order to preserve what
is our single most precious resource is
more urgent than ever. IT systems for
the regulated water market have been
underinvested in for decades with
many now reaching end of life. These
systems are not cost competitive
and do not provide good customer
experience or the ability to innovate.
In many markets, as we find ourselves
dealing with drought more regularly
and severely, the need for systems
that can support faster-to-react and
even pro-active solutions such as the
adoption of smart metering is critical.
Likewise, Covid has highlighted the
need to work closely and effectively
with customers, and the lack of
flexibility current systems provide
around managing consumer debt.
Reducing opex to service utilities’ debt
is becoming more and more important
as inflation increases and interest rates
rise. The water industry urgently needs
to transform.
In the UK we provide business-critical
solutions and systems to more than
50% of the non-household water
market and see great opportunity to
work with companies in the regulated
household segment; we have recently
established a team to explore this
potential. Our water customers are
looking to run a lean, efficient and
data driven customer, supply and
networks focused business – one
which understands the measures that
turn statements of intent into action
and results.
Leading the way with one of our
key UK customers, we combined our
extensive experience with AWS to
deliver a seamless transition of >200k
business customers to an innovative
cloud-based solution. This has enabled
the water utility to operate effectively
and focus on delivering brilliant
customer service at the lowest cost
to serve. Across the whole UK we now
support more than 500k business
customers.
In Australia, as focus moves from
water as part of the property to
becoming more customer-centric, our
partnership with Salesforce means
we are well placed to help lead this
change. We currently support 6 of the
12 leading water suppliers and have a
strong pipeline for growth.
In New Zealand water is largely
unmetered throughout the country
and this needs to change. Many
systems in use today will not be fit for
purpose, while Gentrack’s experience
of metered markets means we are well
placed to support this transformation.
Business update | 12
As our most precious resource,
the need to innovate and excel at
customer experience in the water
industry has never been more vital.
Our Utility Partners
We see partnership as both an
important route to market and a way
to strengthen our offering. Our new
partnership with Tata Consultancy
Services will play a key role in
giving visibility of transformation
opportunities worldwide for both
energy and water, whilst our new
partnership with Salesforce means we
can offer our customers the world’s
leading CRM as part of our
g2.0 solution.

Our
Aviation
Business
2022 has seen the
recovery of the
aviation industry.
Passengers have
returned quicker than
expected, and travel
demand is strong – air traffic is now
at 75% of 2019 levels. This is driving
the prioritisation of digital initiatives
as airports seek to improve efficiency,
lower costs and improve services.
For Veovo, this has led to a significant
uptick in activities. In 2022 we signed
a landmark contract with Avinor, the
operator of Norway’s 43 airports, for
one of the industry’s most innovative
and comprehensive machine-learning
programs. We secured platform
upgrades and support extensions with
major customers in all geographies. We
also signed our first managed service
contract with a Tier 1 airport and, in
the wider travel sector, won our first
major European railway station.
As a result, our recurring revenues
have increased by more than 12%.
At the same time, we
continue to invest in
our technology to
deliver the “Airport
4.0” capabilities
that will underpin
optimal airport
performance. This
includes ensuring
that our entire
portfolio is cloud-
ready and building
AI-powered forecasting
and intelligent
automation into our airport
operations, revenue and
people flow products.
We expect the momentum of FY22
to increase into FY23 and FY24. We
enter the year with a strong backlog
of upgrade projects to our new-
generation operations platform
and a strengthening pipeline of
opportunities as airports restart their
capital programmes.

Our people and
As a transformational powerhouse,
Gentrack is ultimately powered by its
amazing people who demonstrate our
three values in all that they do:
• Respect for each other
• Respect for our customers
• Respect for the planet
Our global strategy remains focused
on understanding and enabling our
people to deliver their best. We have
open dialogue and have, as a company,
built our people strategy together to
ensure that people are at the heart
and start of all that we do. We believe
in a sustainable future and sustainable
organisation and therefore focus on all
elements of the employee lifecycle to
enhance, amplify and enable
our culture.

UK Annual Global Conference 2022
Talent attraction,
learning and
engagement
We are continuing to grow as an
organisation and welcome new
Gentrackers to support our increasing
customer demand and global
expansion with a further 14% people
growth in FY2022 and a resourcing
strategy to enable continued double
digit people growth in FY2023. In
addition, we have expanded in key
locations with Gentrack India and other
European and Asian countries coming
online as part of our global team.
Our brand, range of opportunities and
global expansion is providing the best
opportunities for our people – we have
invested heavily in tailoring our learning
programs, with coaching programs and
bespoke workshops to connect and
collaborate.
Our biannual engagement survey
creates the opportunity for dialogue
around our engagement drivers and
ensures any investment we take;
we take together as one team that
plays to win. In one year, we have
witnessed an unprecedented uplift
in our ‘highly engaged' and ‘engaged'
scores globally, as well a downturn in
employee turnover.
At the core of our engagement
strategies is creating the opportunities
for dialogue – listening and learning
from one another and connecting
on our global scale. Our global
conferences at half year give us a
unique opportunity to collaborate,
engage and focus on our shared people
agenda as a result.
Reward and
recognition
We believe in reinvesting our success
to our people, and after a highly
successful year we have been able to
reward our top performers with market
aligned compensation with motivating
variable reward. We believe in utilising
our talent planning approaches to
ensure recognition and our peer-based
global recognition program enables our
Gentrackers to reward and recognise
one another throughout the year for
their performance and behaviours.
Our people and our planet | 17
Our people and our planet | 18
Diversity, inclusion and
wellbeing
We have continued to evolve our
approaches to reflect our hybrid
working and need to connect, learn
and collaborate. Our global program,
Genergy, allows our people to work
in their best way and promotes an
‘extend your weekend’, finishing at 2pm
on a Friday to recharge and renew. We
have recalibrated and enhanced our
offices globally to create energising
and collaborative workspaces and
enhanced benefits such as parental
leave to be market-leading benefits
designed to support, enable and
energise our people.
We continue to empower our local
teams to take a leadership role in
amplifying our inclusive culture and
creating a sense of belonging, which is
the core of our team spirit and culture.
Our planet and
creating a sustainable
organisation
The work that we do is critical in
creating a positive impact on our
planet, and our people are passionate
about not only supporting programs
such as these (e.g. our Virtual Power
plant and battery aligned work) but
also in ensuring our internal approaches
have sustainability at the core.
This year, our people nominated that
our priorities should therefore be on
three main pillars (see below), and
we will continue to focus on building
strategies to positively impact these
areas and our planet as a whole.
Our people remain at the heart and
start of all that we do, ensuring
a sustainable and successful
organisation as a result.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our

opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below,
our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,
our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition – software implementation
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group has reported revenues of $126 million.
The accounting for the portion of revenue related
to software implementation projects of $22
million, which is part of the licences and project
services revenue, requires consideration of the
inherent complexities of software implementation
projects and using estimation. As a result we
consider this a key audit matter.
Revenue from implementation projects is
recognised based on the stage of completion using
either the proportion of actual hours at the
reporting date compared to management
estimates for total forecast hours or with
reference to milestones.
Accurate recording of this revenue is highly
dependent on:
►Detailed knowledge of individual
characteristics of a contract, including its
unique terms, knowledge of the software
and expected length of time to complete
contractual milestones;
►Ongoing adjustments to estimated hours to
complete implementation taking into
consideration changes in scope, estimated
timing and project delays; and
►Changes to total project revenue for
contract variation or additional billing for
changes in scope or additional hours
incurred.
Disclosures in relation to the Group’s revenue are
included in note 3.2 to the consolidated financial
statements.
In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we:
►selected a sample of implementation projects
focusing on projects that were in progress at
balance date. For the projects selected, where
relevant, we:
►assessed whether revenue recognised was
consistent with contractual terms and
accounting standard requirements, including
any allocations of contract revenue between
initial license fee, design and implementation,
and maintenance phases of the contracts;
►obtained the project status reports as at 30
September 2022 and considered whether the
project manager had performed a review to
ensure the forecast hours to complete reflect
current expectations;
►recalculated revenue to date based on actual
hours incurred as a percentage of total
forecast hours to ensure revenue was
recognised in line with the project manager’s
estimate; and
►assessed the forecast hours to complete and
project status through discussion with project
managers and senior management, and
challenged significant changes in total
forecast hours post year end to understand if
these should have been reflected in the
forecast as of the year end.
►assessed appropriateness of the deferred revenue
balance at year end by reference to the percentage
of completion of implementation projects; and
►considered the adequacy of the associated
disclosures in the financial statements.

Goodwill and Brand intangible assets’ impairment assessment
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group’s statement of financial position includes $111
million of goodwill and brand assets at 30 September
2022, which make up 52% of the Group’s total assets.
NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets requires goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to be tested
for impairment annually irrespective of whether there are
any indicators of impairment. This assessment requires
judgement including consideration of both internal and
external sources of information.
Goodwill and brands are allocated to two cash generating
units (CGUs), being Utilities and Veovo.
In considering whether goodwill and brands were
impaired, the Group estimated the recoverable amount of
each CGU using a discounted cash flow model and key
assumptions as disclosed in note 5.3 of the financial
statements.
In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence,
we:
assessed the Group’s determination of CGUs
based on our understanding of the nature of
the Group’s business units
►engaged our valuation specialists toassess the
conclusions of the Group in relation to
impairment. In doing so they:
identified a set of comparable companies
and determined the EBITDA and Revenue
multiples relevant to their next financial
year; and
considered the range of publicly available
EBITDA and Revenue multiples to the
multiple level which would result in a
different impairment conclusion for each
of the Group’s CGUs
►considered the Group’s next year revenue and
EBITDA forecasts and challenged whether
these and the assumptions used in assessing
them fell within reasonable ranges
►considered the accuracy of previous Group
forecasts for the next financial period to inform
our evaluation of forecasts included in the
impairment models
►performed sensitivity analysis in relation to the
next year forecast revenue and EBITDA to
consider the potential impact of changes in
these assumptions; and
►evaluated the adequacy of the related financial
statement disclosures.
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other
than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report which is expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
►
Independent auditor's report | 24
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and, if uncorrected, to take
appropriate action to bring the matter to the attention of users for whom our auditor’s report was
prepared.
Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on
behalf of the entity the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors
either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated
financial statements.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-
practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s
report.

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 15
GENERAL INFORMATIONACCOUNTING POLICESCRITICAL JUDGEMENTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The notes are consolidated into nine sections. Each section contains an introduction and general information
which is indicated by the symbol above. The layout of these financial statements has been streamlined to
present them in a way that is more intuitive for readers to follow. This is achieved by laying out the accounting policies
and critical judgements alongside the notes and focusing information in a way which provides increased clarity and
ease of understanding.
The first section details general information about Gentrack Group and guidance on how to navigate through the
financial statements.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
throughout the document where they are applicable. These policies have been consistently applied to all
the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Certain comparatives have been updated to ensure consistency with
current year presentation.
Accounting policies are identified by this symbol above.
CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue, and
expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on various other
factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying
values for assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the
financial position reported in future periods.
Further details of the nature of these critical judgements and estimates may be found throughout the financial
statements as they are applicable and are identified by this symbol.

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 17
2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This section outlines the legislation and accounting standards which have been followed in the preparation of
the financial statements along with explaining how the information has been consolidated and presented
.
2.1 KEY LEGISLATION AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The financial statements of Gentrack Group have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-oriented
entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Gentrack Group is a FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013 and is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013.
2.2 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries are entities over which Gentrack Group has control. Gentrack Group controls an entity when it is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power
over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are considered. Subsidiaries
are fully consolidated from the date that control is transferred to Gentrack Group. They are deconsolidated from the
date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted
by Gentrack Group.
Intra-group balances and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are fully
eliminated in preparing the financial statements.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
Items included in the financial statements of each of Gentrack Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are
presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD) which is Gentrack Group’s presentation currency. All financial information
has been presented rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) in the financial statements.
TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the
statement of comprehensive income within net finance expense.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE (FCTR)
Gentrack Group translates the results of its foreign operations from their functional currencies to the presentation
currency using the closing exchange rate at balance date for assets and liabilities and the average monthly exchange
rates for income and expenses. The difference arising from the translation of the statement of financial position at the
closing rates and the statement of comprehensive income at the average rates is recorded within the foreign currency
translation reserve within the statement of changes in equity.
2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on
which control is transferred to Gentrack Group. Control is the exposure or right to variable returns from involvement with
the entity and the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
Gentrack Group recognises the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquired
business. Goodwill is measured as the excess cost of the acquisition over the recognised assets and liabilities. When
the excess is negative (negative goodwill), the amount is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Financial Statements | 34
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 18
2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gentrack Group applies the anticipated acquisition method where it has the right and the obligation to purchase any
remaining non-controlling interest (so-called put/call arrangements). Under the anticipated acquisition method, the
interests of the non-controlling shareholder are derecognised when Gentrack Group’s liability relating to the purchase of
its shares is recognised. The recognition of the financial liability implies that the interests subject to the purchase are
deemed to have been acquired already. Therefore, the corresponding interests are presented as already owned by
Gentrack Group even though legally they are still non-controlling interests. The initial measurement of the fair value of the
financial liability recognised by Gentrack Group forms part of the consideration for the acquisition.
Gentrack Group has not made any acquisitions during the year ended 30 September 2022 or 2021. For details of
acquisitions made in prior years refer to the 2018 Annual Report.

2.5 IMPACT OF STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, as well as amendments to
existing international accounting standards. Gentrack Group will adopt IFRS 17 when mandatory and does not expect
IFRS 17 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
There were no other new effective standards adopted on 1 October 2021 that had a material impact on the financial
statements.

3.GROUP PERFORMANCE
This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial performance by building on the information
presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
3.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue
and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to
make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete
financial information is available. Operating segments are aggregated for disclosure purposes where they have
similar products and services, production processes, customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments.
Gentrack Group currently operates in two business segments, utility billing software and airport management
software. Consistent with prior years, Gentrack Group’s corporate costs are included in the utility segment.
These segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Board (Chief Operating
Decision Maker) to make strategic decisions.
The assets and liabilities of Gentrack Group are reported to and reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in
total and are not allocated by business segment. Therefore, operating segment assets and liabilities are not
disclosed

3.2 OPERATING REVENUE
Gentrack Group recognises revenue from customers when the performance obligation has been
accomplished. A performance obligation is accomplished when the customer has received all the benefits
promised under the performance obligation. The following sections detail the type of revenue recognised
within each category.
Revenue recognition involves certain revenue streams being recognised based on the stage of completion.
This process uses estimations of time required to complete the project and is based on detailed information
on hours worked to date, prior experience, and project scheduling tools. Gentrack Group employs project
managers to provide regular information to management on the progress of all projects. All estimates are reviewed
by management prior to revenue recognition
.
Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from services in progress and are reclassified to trade
receivables on stage of completion. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessments.
Contract liabilities are recognised if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer
before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the
Group performs under the contract.
Contract assets and contract liabilities typically are recognised as trade receivables and revenue (respectively) within
a 12-month period.
ANNUAL FEES
Annual fees include software support and maintenance charged on software licenses and software subscriptions.
Revenue from annual fees is generally recognised over the period the benefits are consumed by the customer.
SUPPORT SERVICES
Support services are post implementation value-add professional services related to ongoing upgrades, minor
software revisions and extended support. Support services revenue is recognised when the service is complete or on
a stage of completion basis.
LICENSES
Revenue from license fees is recognised when the customer can benefit from the licensed software. License fees that
are highly interrelated with project services are recognised based on a stage of completion of the project.
PROJECT SERVICES
Revenue from project services is recognised based on the stage of completion of the project. This is typically in
accordance with the achievement of contract milestones and/or hours expended and forecast hours to complete the
project.
MANAGED SERVICES
Managed Services includes revenues where Gentrack uses its own software and expertise, on behalf of customers, to
deliver either improvements in the energy reconciliation process or supporting customers with billing and
operational back-office processes. Revenue is recognised when the service is complete or over the period that the
benefits are consumed by the customer.
OTHER
Other revenue is primarily revenue from hardware and the recharge of ad-hoc costs that are recharged to customers.
Revenue from hardware sales is recognised when the hardware has been delivered to the customer.

3.3 OTHER INCOME
GOVERNMENTGRANTS
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received, and Gentrack Group will comply with all attached conditions. When a grant relates to an
expense item, it is recognised as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis
to the costs that it is intended to compensate.
Up until 31 March 2021, the government grant from Callaghan Innovation in New Zealand provided a percentage
return for eligible Research and Development conducted by Gentrack Group. Effective from 1 April 2021 the
Callaghan Grant was replaced by the Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) where a tax incentive is
provided for eligible Research and Development conducted by Gentrack Group. The Callaghan Innovation grant
was recognised as revenue and RDTI is recognised as a tax credit.
The RDTI and the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) in the UK are tax incentives and the
benefit of these tax incentives are applied to Gentrack Group’s income tax payable when the income tax returns are
filed.

5.ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial position by building on information
presented in the statement of financial position.
5.1. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Gentrack Group recognises trade and other receivables initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. An impairment provision
for trade receivables and contract assets consists of the expected credit loss in accordance with NZ IFRS 9
and a specific provision.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair
value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on trade receivables and
contract assets net of specific provisions applying lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a
provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to
the debtors and the economic environment.
A specific provision is established when there is forward looking evidence that Gentrack Group will not be able to
collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced
using provision accounts, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit and loss. When a receivable is
uncollectible, it is written off against the specific impairment provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited against the profit and loss.

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable
assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to
cash-generating units (CGU) and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment.

5.3 IMPAIRMENT TESTING
IMPAIRMENTTESTINGOFGOODWILLAND OTHERASSETS
At each reporting date, Gentrack Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, Gentrack Group makes a formal estimate of the
recoverable amount. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value
less costs to sell or the asset’s value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the
lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other
than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting
date.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects the current market assessments and the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated by each CGU. Cash flows were
projected based on five-year business plans. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is based on CAPM
methodology using market specific inputs. The WACC for each CGU is reviewed at least annually.
Gentrack Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment or more often as required, in
accordance with the accounting policy stated above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have
been determined based on value in use calculations. In preparing the five-year forecasts, management has
reviewed the assumptions and weighed up the information available at the time to ensure the forecasts are
appropriate given the CGU’s position and the prevailing market conditions. The WACC and terminal growth rates
used in these calculations are set out in the table below:
CASH GENERATING UNIT
WACC
2022
Terminal Growth
Rate 2022
WACC
2021
Terminal Growth
Rate 2021
Utilities10.7%1.7%9.6%1.9%
Veovo11.8%1.7%10.7%1.9%
IMPAIRMENTTESTINGRESULTS
The calculations confirmed there was no impairment of goodwill during the year for the Utilities or Veovo CGU’s.
For the Utilities business the key assumption is the CAGR of revenue across the five-year period commencing 1
st
October 2022. Under management’s projections this would need to fall below 7.25% for the recoverable amount to
be less than the carrying value of the Utilities CGU. Management’s projections, under all scenarios, project a CAGR
comfortably above this and this compares to growth in revenue in FY22 for the Utilities business of 22%.
For the Veovo business, the carrying value of the CGU at $2.7m is low in comparison to the EBITDA being generated
by this business ($2.2m in FY22) and so the assessment is not sensitive to changes in assumptions in management’s
projections.
Management believes that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions for either CGU would not cause
the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.
5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT
Costs that are directly associated with the development of software are recognised as intangible assets
where the following criteria are met:
•it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use.
•management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it.
•there is an ability to use or sell the software product.
•it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits.
•adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software
product are available; and
•the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 28
5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Software development costs that meet the above criteria are capitalised. Other development expenditure that does not
meet the above criteria is recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses
are not recognised as assets in a subsequent period. Software development costs recognised as assets are amortised
over their estimated useful lives.
BRANDS
Brands are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are held at cost and are not amortised but are subject to an
annual impairment test consistent with the methodology outlined for goodwill above.
OTHER INTANGIBLEASSETS
Other intangible assets consist of internal use software, acquired source code, trade-marks, and customer relationships.
They have finite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment
losses.
AMORTISATION
Except for goodwill and brands, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in the statement of
comprehensive income over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
•Acquired source code10 years
•Internal use software3 years
•Customer relationships10 years
•Trademarks4 years
•Capitalised development5 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if
appropriate. Acquired source code and internal use software are categorised as software in the below table.

5.5PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
In the statement of financial position property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less
depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their original
costs and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
•Furniture & equipment 7 years
•Computer equipment 3 to 7 years
•Leasehold improvements Term of lease
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are recognised in
the statement of comprehensive income.

6.CAPITAL STRUCTURE
This section outlines Gentrack Group’s capital structure and details of share-based employee
incentives which have an impact on Gentrack Group’s equity.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and
share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Where any Gentrack Group
company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid is deducted
from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or transferred outside Gentrack
Group.
Ordinary shares are fully paid and have no par value. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as
declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company and rank equally with
regard to the Company’s residual assets.
6.1 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The capital structure of Gentrack Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the parent
company.
Gentrack Group manages its capital to ensure that companies in the Group can continue as a going concerns.
Gentrack Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

resulting in the same number of new shares being issued. Also 17,637 (2021: 28,389 ) shares were issued as part
payment of Gentrack Group Directors fees.
6.2SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Gentrack Group operates equity settled, share-based payments schemes under which it receives services
from employees, as consideration for equity instruments of Gentrack Group. A valuation is completed for
each scheme at the grant date to estimate the fair value of the performance rights granted. Management also
makes estimates about the number of performance rights that are expected to vest which determines the expense
recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
The fair value of the performance rights is determined at the grant date using the Black Scholes valuation
method. The fair value of the performance rights is recorded as an expense in the statement of
comprehensive income over the vesting period, based on Gentrack Group’s estimate of the number of
performance rights that will vest, with a corresponding entry to the share-based payment reserve within equity.
During the year ended 30 September 2022 $1.8m has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
(2021: $3.6m).
The number of performance rights allocated is based on a percentage of salary or other such percentage and are
calculated with reference to the 10-trading day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of shares traded on the NZX
based on dates indicated in the issue documentation.
Share based payments were introduced to:
- Assist with the retention of eligible employees
- Significantly increase the number of Gentrack Group employees that have a stake in Gentrack Group
- Give eligible employees a share in Gentrack Group’s future performance
Gentrack Group operates the follow three share schemes:
- Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive Scheme - Performance rights are subject to a combination of tenure
and the Earnings Per Share (EPS) hurdle, split evenly and that will vest after 18 months and three years
respectively, dependent on achievement of the period of service and EPS performance hurdle.

During the financial year 2022, ̧Nil dividends were paid (2021 ̧Nil).
6.4 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Gentrack Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year, excluding shares purchased and held as treasury
shares.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares on issue for the effects of the dilutive impact of potential ordinary shares, which comprise
performance share rights granted to employees.
Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease
EPS or increase the profit per share.

7. TAX
7.1 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
In the statement of comprehensive income, the income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends
.

tax movement has been offset against the non-deductible tax expense.
As at 30 September 2022 Gentrack Group has $11.3m (2021: $9.4m) of imputation credits available for use in
subsequent reporting periods.
7.2 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the
reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred
income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred
income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Gentrack Group
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied
by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different entities where there is an intention to
settle the balance on a net basis.

7.2 DEFERRED TA; ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised while the liability to
pay the related dividend is recognised. Gentrack Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its
shareholders.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related benefits will be realised.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which temporary differences can be utilised. Management applies judgement when reviewing
current business plans and forecasts to ascertain the likelihood of future taxable profits.
The movement in temporary differences has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax
has been recognised at a rate at which they are expected to be realised 28È for New Zealand entities, 30È for Australian
entities, 22È for Denmark entities, 21È for US entities, 17È for Singapore entity and 25È for India. On 23 September
2022, UK Government announced an increase in the corporate tax rate to 25È effective from 1 April 2022. For UK
entities 19È is applied for first half of 2022 and 25È for second half of 2022.

8.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Gentrack Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks which include foreign currency risk,
commodity price risk and interest risk. This section details each of these financial risks and how they are
managed by Gentrack Group.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Gentrack Group’s risk
management framework. Gentrack Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse
(amongst other risks) the financial risks faced by Gentrack Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls,
and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect
changes in market conditions and Gentrack Group’s activities.
8.1 CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Gentrack Group if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and it arises principally from Gentrack Group’s trade receivables from customers in the
normal course of business.
Gentrack Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
The credit worthiness of a customer or counter party is determined by several qualitative and quantitative
factors. Qualitative factors include external credit ratings (where available), payment history and strategic
importance of customer or counter party. Quantitative factors include transaction size, net assets of customer or counter
party, and ratio analysis on liquidity, cash flow and profitability.
In relation to trade receivables and contract assets, it is Gentrack Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on
terms are subject to credit verification on an ongoing basis with the intention of minimising bad debts. The nature of
Gentrack Group’s trade receivables is represented by regular turnover of product and billing of customers based on the
contractual payment terms.
Gentrack Group has an impairment provision that represents its estimate of future incurred losses in respect of trade and
other receivables. The impairment provision consists of the expected credit loss provision in accordance with NZ IFRS
9 and a specific doubtful debt provision is used where there is internal and external evidence that indicates a trade
receivable is impaired.
The carrying amount of Gentrack Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure as summarised in
the table below:

31,618(4,009)23,287(3,279)
20222021
*The current bucket has been updated to include contract assets.
Gentrack Group’s trade receivables and contract assets are not exposed to any significant credit exposure to any
single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables and contract assets
consist of several customers in various geographical areas. Based on historic information about customer default
rates, management considers the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.
Sundry receivable and prepayments comprise of prepaid expenses and lease bonds that do not carry credit risk.
As at 30 September 2022 there are no significant concentrations of credit risk for financial assets designated as at
amortised cost or at fair value. The carrying amount reflects Gentrack Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for
these financial assets.
Judgement has been applied to the recovery of all trade receivables and contract assets, with management
confirming that all carrying amounts are deemed to be recoverable and not impaired.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible since the counterparties are highly reputable
financial intuitions with high quality external credit ratings.

8.2 MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect
Gentrack Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return on risk.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
Gentrack Group is exposed to currency risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of Gentrack Group (NZD), primarily the following currencies Australian Dollar (AUD), Pound
Sterling (GBP), EURO (EUR), US Dollar (USD), and Danish Kroner (DKK).

assumes a +/-10% change in the NZD to the currency exchange rate for the year ended 30 September 2022 (2021:

8.3 LI/UIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that Gentrack Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they
become due and payable. Gentrack Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it
will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they become due and payable, under both normal and
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to Gentrack Group’s reputation.
Gentrack Group has sufficient cash to meet its requirements in the foreseeable future.

8.5FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Gentrack Group’s financial assets are measured at amortised cost. Gentrack Group’s financial assets are held
within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset to collect contractual cash flows and the
financial asset gives rise to contractual cash flows on specified dates that are payments of principal and
interest on the principal outstanding.
Gentrack Group’s financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
Gentrack Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised as follows:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and on hand and the carrying amount is equivalent to fair value.
TRADE RECEIVABLES
These assets are short term in nature and are reviewed for impairment; the carrying value approximates their fair value.
TRADE PAYABLES
These liabilities are mainly short term in nature with the carrying value approximating the fair value.
FAIR VALUES
Gentrack Group’s financial instruments that are measured after initial recognition at fair values are grouped into levels
based on the degree to which their fair value is observable:
Level 1 – fair value measurements derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2 – fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
which are not based on observable market data.
There have been no transfers between levels or changes in the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of
Gentrack Group’s financial instruments during the period. As at 30 September 2022 Gentrack Group has no level 3
financial instruments (2021: $Nil).

9.OTHER INFORMATION
9.1 LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES
RECOGNITIONAND MEASUREMENTOFGENTRACKGROUPLEASINGACTIVITIES
Gentrack Group predominantly leases property for fixed periods of 1-12 years and may have extension
options. These extension options are usually at the discretion of Gentrack Group and are included in the
measurement of the lease asset if management intends to exercise the extension. Lease terms are negotiated
on an individual basis and contain a variety of terms and conditions. However, these lease agreements do not impose
any covenants. Lease amendments relate to short-term lease extensions.
Leases are recognised as a right of use asset (lease asset) and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the
leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance
cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s
useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
•fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
•variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate
•amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
•the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
•payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee
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.
Lease assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
•the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
•any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
•any initial direct costs, and
•restoration costs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT
The procedures for the appointment and removal of Directors are ultimately governed by the Company’s
Constitution. The Board has established a People and Culture Committee whose role is to, amongst other things,
identify and recommend to the Board individuals for nomination as members of the Board and its Committees,
taking into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including experience, qualifications, judgement and the
ability to work with other Directors.
COMPOSITION OF BOARD
As at 30 September 2022 the Board comprised six Directors, as follows:
•
Andy Gr
een (Non-executive Chair) – appointed 2 November 2020

The Company has written agreements with each board member establishing the terms of their appointment.
DELEGATION
To enhance efficiency, the Board has delegated some of its powers to Board Committees and other powers to the
Chief Executive Officer. The terms of the delegation by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer are documented in
the Board Charter and more clearly set out in the Company’s Delegated Authority Framework. This framework also
establishes the authority levels for decision-making within the Company’s management team.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board Charter requires that at least 50% of Directors be “independent”.
The Board takes into account the guidance provided under the NZX Listing Rules in determining the independence
of Directors.
The Board will review any determination it makes as to a Director’s independence on becoming aware of any
information that may have an impact on the independence of the Director. For this purpose, Directors are required
to ensure that they immediately advise the Board of any relevant new or changed relationships to enable the Board
to consider and determine the materiality of the relationships.
The Board considers that Andy Green, Stewart Sherriff, Fiona Oliver, Darc Rasmussen and Nick Luckock are
Independent Directors.
SELECTION AND ROLE OF CHAIR
The Chair of the Board is elected by the non-executive Directors. The Board supports the separation of the role of
Chair and Chief Executive Officer. The Chair’s role is to manage the Board effectively, to provide leadership to the
Board, and to facilitate the Board’s interface with the Chief Executive Officer.
Andy Green was appointed by the Board as Chair on 2 November 2020. As noted above, Andy Green is an
Independent Director. Andy brings transformation and technology leadership to the role of the Company Chair. In
2020 he was awarded Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for his contributions to the Information Technology
and British Space Industries. His passion to transform the industry to support sustainable water and energy resources
is further demonstrated by his roles as the Chair of WaterAid UK and as a UK National Infrastructure Commissioner.
Andy spends his time in both Australia and the UK which contributes both a local presence and global perspective
to the Company’s customers and shareholders.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining
board responsibility.

The Board finalised a Takeover Response Protocol in 2018. The Protocol outlines the procedures in the event the
Company is subject to a takeover offer.
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING & DISCLOSURE
The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of
corporate disclosures.
The Company is committed to maintaining a fully informed market through effective communication with the NZX
and ASX, the Company’s shareholders, analysts, media and other interested parties. The Company provides all
stakeholders with equal and timely access to material information that is accurate, balanced, meaningful
and consistent.
The Board has adopted a Market Disclosure Policy and a Shareholder Communications Policy, copies of which are
available in the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website. The Policies have been communicated internally to
ensure that they are strictly adhered to by the Board and the Company’s employees. The Company has been listed on
the NZX Main Board and the ASX since 25 June 2014 and has at all times complied with its continuous
disclosure obligations.
Directors consider at each Board meeting whether there is any material information which should be disclosed to
the market.
The “Code of Ethics”, Board Committee Charters and other key governance documents are available in the Investor
Centre section of the Company’s website.
The Company does not currently provide additional non-financial reporting on environmental, social and governance
factors other than as set out in this statement.
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
The Board has a People and Culture Committee. One of that Committee’s principal functions is to oversee the
remuneration strategies and policies of the Company. The People and Culture Committee is governed by a formal
charter, a copy of which is available in the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website.
DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
The Company distinguishes the structure of non-executive Directors’ remuneration from that of executive Directors.

CEO REMUNERATION
Gary Miles’ salary is structured as follows:
Fixed Base Salary
For FY2022 Gary has a Fixed Base Salary of UK£403,000 per annum, exclusive of pension contributions of 4% of base
salary and reviewable at the Board’s discretion annually after the release of the full year results.
Annual Incentive Plan
On target performance is eligible for an annual incentive payment of 100% of the fixed base salary. The actual
annual incentive payment (if any) is determined at the discretion of the Board after assessing the performance of the
Company and the performance of the CEO against performance targets and priorities agreed annually. For FY2022,
those performance targets were based on a score card of measures incorporating financial performance against
budget; employee engagement and attrition; customer satisfaction and technology advancement. His short-term
incentive payment for FY22 was £417,510.
Long Term Incentive
The CEO’s remuneration package includes the issue of performance rights that were approved at the Annual Meeting
in February 2021:
•
an initial gr
ant of 500,000 performance rights of which half vested immediately on the start of Gary’s employment
and the other half of which vested on 1 October 2021. The vesting of this initial grant of performance rights was
not subject to vesting conditions or performance hurdles.
•
an annual grant of performance rights commencing in October 2020 that is calculated and vests in accordance
with the following:
• number of performance rights = Z /Y
•
“Z” = Gary’s annual base pay, including pension contribution, converted into NZD and multiplied by 120%; and
• “Y” = the volume weighted average price of Gentrack’s shares over the 10 day trading period ending on the last
trading day immediately prior to the annual grant
• The first annual grant of performance rights vested on 1st October 2021 in accordance with the agreed criteria
• Subsequent annual performance rights vest one third each year over three years with half of rights eligible to vest
each year subject to Gentrack Group achieving certain performance hurdles and the other half of rights eligible
to vest doing so without reference to performance hurdles. The performance hurdles are based on the compound
annual growth rate of Gentrack’s earnings per share as follows:
•
below 7%,
no performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;
• equal to 7%, 50% of performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;
• equal to or above 12%, all performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest; and
•
between 7% and 12% performance rights will vest on a str
aight line basis between 50% and 100%;
• Some of the 2022 performance rights vested in accordance with the vesting criteria. The remaining 50% of the
performance rights subject to performance hurdles did not vest.
The Remuneration Policy Statement is available in the Investor Centre section of the Company’s website.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
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.
The Board has an Audit and Risk Committee that reports to the Board – please see “Principle 7” below for further
detail in relation to the Audit and Risk Committee.
The Company’s senior management maintain a Risk Register, which is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and
forms a key part of the risk management framework.
To support its commitment to Information Security Management, the Company is ISO/EC 27001:2013 certified. This is
an international standard which helps organisations manage and control information security risks. The Company also
maintains a Services Organisation Control “SOC2” Type I Report in respect of the security and availability controls over
applicable Gentrack Cloud services which is then assessed by an independent third-party auditor.
The Company does not have an internal audit function, but through the steps outlined above the Board ensures the
company is reviewing, evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal
control processes.
The Company considers that it has a low exposure to economic risks, because the sectors we serve are essential
services that do not react significantly to economic cycles, and it considers that it does not have any material exposure
to environmental and social sustainability risks. The Board receives regular updates on health and safety and
information security.
PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
The Board is committed to a transparent system for auditing and reporting of the Company’s financial performance. The
Board established an Audit and Risk Committee, which performs a central role in achieving this goal. The members of the
Committee provide a balance of independence, sector experience and relevant professional experience and qualifications.
The Audit and Risk Committee’s principal functions are:
•
to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for the Company’s financial statements and external financial reporting;
• to assist the Board in ensuring that the ability and independence of the external auditors to carry out their statutory
audit role is not impaired, or could reasonably be perceived to be impaired;
• to assist the Board in ensuring appropriate accounting policies and internal controls are established and maintained; and
•
to assist the Boar
d in ensuring the efficient and effective management of all business risks.
One of the main purposes of the Audit and Risk Committee is to ensure the quality and independence of the audit
process. The Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and Chief Financial Officer work with the external auditors to
plan the audit approach. All aspects of the audit are reported back to the Audit and Risk Committee and the auditors are
given the opportunity at Audit and Risk Committee meetings to meet with the Board.
The Audit and Risk Committee has adopted a formal Charter, a copy of which is available in the Investor Centre section
on the Company’s website.
The Audit and Risk Committee meets regularly to identify risks and determine how to mitigate these. The Company uses
external contractors as required for specific audit reviews.
The Company’s external auditors will attend the annual meeting, and are available to answer questions relating to the
conduct of the external audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
The Company does not have an internal audit function. Where required, such audit activity is conducted by third parties,
not by the Company’s external auditors.

eport;
•
the half-year update;
•
the annual meeting of shareholders;
• disclosure to the NZX and ASX in accordance with the Company’s Shareholder Communications Policy and Market
Disclosure Policy; and

The Company’s Shareholder Communications Policy and Market Disclosure Policy are designed to ensure that
communications with shareholders and all other stakeholders are managed efficiently. The Chair, Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer are the points of contact for shareholders and analysts.
The Board considers the annual report to be an essential opportunity for communicating with shareholders. The
company publishes its results and reports electronically on the Company Website. Investors may also request a hard
copy of the annual report by contacting the Company’s share registrar, Link Market Services Limited. Contact details
for the registrar appear at the end of this report.
The Company considers the annual meeting to be a valuable element of its communications programme. The Chair
will provide an opportunity for shareholders to raise questions for their Board. The Chair may ask the Chief Executive
Officer and any relevant manager of the Company to assist in answering questions if required. As noted earlier, the
Company’s external auditors will also attend the annual meeting, and are available to answer questions relating to the
conduct of the external audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
