Briscoe Group Posts Record Sales

Briscoe Group Limited (NZX/ASX code: BGP)


Highlights for the full year ended 28 January 2024:

• Total record sales $792.0 million

• Both Homeware and Sporting Goods segments delivered positive growth, +0.54% and +1.17%

respectively

• Gross profit margin 42.40%, protecting 47% of the 633 gross profit margin points gained across

the two years impacted by Covid (years ended January 2021 and January 2022)

• Online sales as mix of total Group sales 18.72%, (LY 18.97%)

• Net profit after tax (NPAT) $84.2 million, 95% of last year’s record NPAT

• Final Dividend 16.5 cps

• Total Dividend for the year 29.0 cps, +3.57%


The directors of Briscoe Group Limited announce a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $84.2 million for the

year ending 28 January 2024, representing 95% of the record $88.4 million reported for the previous

year.


Board Chair, Dame Rosanne Meo announced that the directors have resolved to pay a final dividend of

16.5 cents per share (cps). The dividend is fully imputed and, when added to the interim dividend of

12.5cps, brings the total dividend for the year to 29.0 cps, an increase of 3.57% on the prior year. The

final dividend will be paid on 27 March 2024. The share register will close to determine entitlements to

the dividend at 5pm on 20 March 2024. The Company’s dividend policy is to pay out at least 60% of

NPAT when calculated on a full-year basis. “We are delighted to be able to reward our shareholders

with a record total dividend of 29.0 cents per share, achieved with an increased interim dividend earlier

this year now also with this final dividend announcement.


“The team’s ability to consistently produce quality results is notable and indeed extraordinary, given the

continued uncertainty and deterioration of the retail market during the twelve months to January 2024.”


Rod Duke, Group Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted to have produced another year of record

sales against a macro retail environment which has seen many retailers struggling to hold their ground.

It’s significant that the Group was able to grow sales across both the first and second halves as well as

across each of the trading segments, homeware and sporting goods.


“The combination of a strong core business and the execution of strategic initiatives by an extremely

talented team has again proved to be a great formula for success - delivering a bottom line equal to

95% of last year’s record NPAT.”


The earnings were generated on sales revenue of $792.0 million, an increase of 0.78% on the $785.9

million generated for the previous year.


As expected, gross margin percentage declined for the period from 44.02% to 42.40%. Rod Duke said,

“Like all retailers we faced margin pressure from a number of factors as the impacts of the ongoing

economic downturn were felt. However, the Group has differentiated itself by protecting a significant



portion of the margin percentage increase achieved during the Covid pandemic. I’m extremely proud to

report that this result will represent the protection of 47% of the 633 gross margin basis points gained

during that period. The Group’s full year gross profit margin immediately prior to Covid (Year ended

January 2021) was 39.43% compared to this year’s margin of 42.40% - a significant achievement which

we have worked hard to deliver.”


The Group’s online business continues to perform well and represented 18.72% of Group sales as at 28

January 2024. Rod Duke said, “We continue to invest in both the front and back-end platforms with a

number of initiatives designed to connect the online and physical store experiences including;

introduction of an omni-members voucher programme and also management of complete customer

experience through “My Account”. Complementing this our focus on frictionless customer experience

continued with the introduction of features such as; self-service returns and tools to help customers find

the right product based on individual needs. Additional payment and delivery options are also being

worked on which should enable these features to be expanded during 2024.”


This year’s result includes $2.1 million (after tax) of dividends from the Group’s investment in KMD

Brands Limited, matching the amount received for the same period last year.


The Group will benefit from $3.4 million of improved net interest position compared to the previous year

because of improved cash balances and higher interest rates.


Inventories totaled $104.9 million at year-end, including a new Rebel Sport store opened by the Group

in April 2023, $12.9 million below the $117.8 million reported for last year. Rod Duke said, “Inventory

improvements have been critical in enabling us to deliver sales growth and meet our gross profit goals.

As local and international supply chains have returned to more normal, reliable and cost-effective levels

of service compared to the disruption of recent years, the team has been able to tighten the levels of

inventory held by the Group. This has seen a rationalisation of inventory across most categories and we

continue to invest considerable energy into refining, how, when and what we purchase, to continually

improve our inventory measures.


The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with cash and bank balances of $175.4 million as at 28

January 2024 and no term debt. Approximately $20 million of creditor payments included in the trade

payables balance were subsequently paid on or before 31 January 2024.


During the year $15.1 million of capital investment was made by the Group of which $4.3 million

represents expenditure on the fit-out of new and refurbished stores. $5.6 million was spent to purchase

the existing Briscoes Homeware site in Timaru and the balance of the capital investment was for online

platform improvements, enhancements to system software and hardware and the continuation of

security initiatives including ungraded alarm and camera systems, stronger roller shutters and concrete

bollards.


Despite the difficult trading conditions, the Group progressed a number of store development projects

during the year. As reported at half year, we were delighted to open a brand-new Rebel Sport store in

Ashburton during April in conjunction with the relocation of the existing Briscoes Homeware store. In

addition, three full-store refurbishments were completed during the first six-month period at; Briscoes

Homeware Whangarei, Rebel Sport Taupo and Rebel Sport Manukau.


During the second half of this financial year refurbishments were also completed at Briscoes Homeware

Manukau and Wairau Park in Auckland, as well as Rebel Sport Invercargill. All store upgrades result in

a dramatic difference to the look and feel of the stores and include the latest ideas from the new-store

design concepts including LED lighting, redesigned fixtures, personalized counters, click & collect

storage zones and dramatic new in-store signage.


A number of other projects also continue to grow and benefit the Group’s profitability. Examples of these

include; the ongoing introduction of expanded ranges of new products online which are shipped direct



from suppliers to customers and electronic shelf labeling to be introduced in both Briscoes Homeware

and Rebel Sport stores after completion of successful trials.


Rod Duke said, “Significant progress has also been made during the year in relation to establishing a

new distribution centre in South Auckland. We are well into the implementation at our existing

distribution centre, of a new Warehouse Management System (WMS). This will enable the current team

to upskill themselves before transitioning to the new facility when it eventually becomes operational. In

addition, we have selected our automation partner in relation to the significant improvement in

warehousing capability intended for the new facility. In February we also signed a Letter of Intent for the

purchase of land and the building of a new warehousing facility at Drury, South Auckland. We expect

the project to require expenditure, inclusive of land and building construction, of at least $100 million

across the next 3 financial years. This state-of-the-art facility will step-change our capability in

warehousing and distribution, enhance inventory management across the entire group network including

optimisation of the existing store footprint, to deliver significant performance and efficiency gains.


“Looking forward, we remain cautious as to the retail environment with ongoing uncertainty in relation to

economic conditions, customer sentiment and cost pressures. We do not underestimate just how

challenging trading could be but are very confident in relation to the Group’s ability to continue to

perform and deliver superior results.”


Group Chair Dame Rosanne Meo said, “On behalf of the Board I would like to acknowledge the

outstanding work done by the entire Briscoe Group team. We are thankful to our over 2,000 team

members from the distribution centre, across stores and to support office for their level of commitment,

teamwork and enthusiasm to produce the best shopping experience possible. This is at the core of the

impressive results which the company continues to deliver.”

weeks for most years with a 53-week period occurring once every 5-6 years.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the

Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to

affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which

control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation

of certain assets as identified in specific accounting policies detailed throughout these financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and the application of accounting standards, a number of

estimates and judgements have been made. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical

experience and adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events

that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. If outcomes within the next financial period are

significantly different from assumptions, this could result in adjustments to carrying amounts of the asset or liability

affected.

Further explanation as to estimates and assumptions made by the Group can be found in the notes to the financial

statements:

3.4

As part of its risk management framework the Group continues to monitor its exposure to risk, including climate

related risk and related regulatory reporting requirements. During the year ended 28 January 2024 Briscoe Group

completed its first climate-related risk assessment which will be disclosed in this year's Annual report. As part of

this assessment, we have not identified any material impacts requiring specific disclosure in the financial

statements. The identified climate-related risks and opportunities including both physical and transitional impacts

have been considered as part of the above critical accounting judgements and estimates.

Foreign currency translation

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 period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in which case they are recognised in

other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

2. Performance

This section reports on the results and performance of the Group, providing additional

information about individual items, including performance by operating segment, revenue,

expenses, taxation and earnings per share.

2.1 Segment Information

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engage� in business activities which earns revenue and

incurs expenses and for which the chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews the operating results on a regular

basis and makes decisions on resource allocation. The Group has determined its CODM to be the group of

executives comprising the Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Chief People

Officer.

The Group is organised into two reportable operating segments, namely homeware and sporting goods, reflecting

the different retail sectors within which the Group operates. The Company is considered not to be a reportable

operating segment. Eliminations and unallocated amounts as shown below are primarily attributable to the

Company. There were no inter-segment sales in the period (2023: Nil).

Information regarding the operations of each reportable operating segment is included below. Segment profit

represents the profit earned by each segment and is extracted from the income statements associated with the two

trading subsidiary companies, Briscoes (New Zealand) Limited and The Sports Authority Limited (trading as Rebel

Sport). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure and used by CODM to assess the

performance of the operating segments. This measure should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a

substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be

comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

2.2 Income and Expenses

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services, net of

Goods and Services Tax (GST), and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised

as follows:

Sales of goods -retail

For all sales, control is considered to pass to the customer at the point when the customer can use or otherwise

benefit from the goods and services. For in-store sales, control passes to the customer at point of sale. For

online sales, the order along with delivery to the customer are considered to comprise a single performance

obligation, therefore control is considered to pass to the customer on delivery of the goods. Retail sales are

predominantly by credit card, debit card or in cash.

Rental income

Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of

the lease.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the dividend is established.

Profit before income tax includes the following specific income and expenses:

Rental income

Dividends received

Insurance recovery

Gain on lease surrender

Expenses

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Amortisation of software costs

Depreciation of right-of-use assets

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the 52 week period ended 28 January 2024

2. Performance

2.3 Taxation

Current and deferred income tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the

income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance sheet date in New Zealand, being the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax

regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected

to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between tax

bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income

tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet

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 assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available

against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and

liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities

are offset when the entity has a legal enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to

realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The

income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows have been prepared so

that all components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the balance sheet are stated net of GST, with the

exception of trade receivables and trade payables, which include GST invoiced.

Imputation debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as liabilities at the reporting date, and


Imputation credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date.

The consolidated amounts include imputation credits that would be available to the Company if subsidiaries paid

dividends.

2.4 Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (EPS) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of

ordinary shares on issue during the period.

Diluted EPS adjusts for any commitments the Group has to issue shares in the future that would decrease the Basic

EPS. These are in the form of performance rights. Diluted EPS is therefore computed by dividing the net profit

attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the period, adjusted

to include the potentially dilutive effect if performance rights to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted

into shares.

3. Operating Assets and Liabilities

This section reports the assets used to generate the Group's trading performance and the

liabilities incurred as a result. Liabilities relating to the Group's financing activities are addressed

in note 5. Assets and liabilities in relation to deferred taxation and taxation payable are shown in

note 2.3. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities are equivalent to their fair value

unless otherwise stated.

3.1 Working Capital

Working capital represents the assets and liabilities the Group generates through its trading activity. The Group

therefore defines working capital as cash, trade and other receivables, inventories and trade and other payables.

3.1.1 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short­

term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known

amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.1.2 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables arise from sales made to customers on credit or through the collection of purchasing rebates

from suppliers not otherwise deducted from suppliers' payable accounts. Trade receivables are recognised initially

at the value of the invoice sent to the customer (fair value) and subsequently at the amounts considered

recoverable (amortised cost). Trade receivable balances are reviewed on an on-going basis.

3.1.3 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using a weighted average

method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location

and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Group assesses the likely residual value of inventory. Stock provisions are recognised for inventory which is

expected to sell for less than cost and also for the value of inventory likely to have been lost to the business

through shrinkage between the date of the last applicable stocktake and balance date. In recognising the provision

for inventory, judgement has been applied by considering a range of factors including historical results, current

trends and specific product information from buyers.

During the period the Group recognised $445.9 million (2023: $431.0 million) of inventory as an

expense within cost of goods sold.

3.1.4 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payable amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the

end of a financial period, which are unpaid.

Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised at the value of the invoice received from a supplier (fair value). The carrying value

of trade payables is considered to approximate fair value as the amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within

60 days of recognition.

Employee entitlements

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities

for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave

expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of

employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at 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

measured at the rates paid or payable. The liability for employee entitlements is carried at the present value of the

estimated future cash flows.

Bonus plans

A liability is recognised for bonuses payable to employees where a contractual obligation arises for an agreed level

of payment dependent on both company and individual performance criteria.

3. Operating Assets and Liabilities

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised as a non-current liability and measured as the present value of

expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using

the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, history of

employee departure rates and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at

the

reporting date on government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated

future cash outflows.

Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that

can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the

obligation.

Provisions relate to returns in relation to sales of goods directly imported by the Group and are expected to be fully

utilised within the next twelve months. Provisions relating to inventory, receivables and employee benefits have

been treated as part of those specific balances. There are no other provisions relating to these financial statements.

3. Operating Assets and Liabilities

3.2 Property, Plant and Equipment

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment adjustments.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Costs are included in an asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with an item will flow to the Group and the cost of an item can be

measured reliably.

Assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater

than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals of assets are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These

gains and losses are included in the income statement.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their

cost,

net of their estimated residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

- Freehold buildings

33 years

- Plant and equipment

3 - 15 years

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which an asset's carrying

amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to

sell, or value in use.

The Group assesses whether there are indications, for example loss-making stores, for certain trigger events which

may indicate that an impairment in property, plant and equipment values exist at balance date.

Intangible assets are non-physical assets used by the Group to operate the business. Software costs have a finite

useful life. Software costs which can be capitalised are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful

economic life of 2 to 5 years. Software-as-a-service costs are expensed when they are incurred.

Software is the only intangible asset recorded in the financial statements. All software has been acquired externally.

3. Operating Assets and Liabilities

3.4 Leases

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease

liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments. Lease payments to be made under

reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are initially recognised on commencement of lease at cost, comprising the initial amount of the

lease liabilities less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the

straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. In considering the lease term, the

Group applies judgement in determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option will

be exercised.

Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are discounted applying interest rate implicit in the lease, or if this

cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement of the lease. To determine the

incremental borrowing rate the Group have applied a blended secured and unsecured borrowing rate. For the

secured rate the Group have utilised third party financing options and adjusted for an appropriate credit spread.

Extension options are included in a number of property leases across the Group. These are used to maximise

operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group's operation. Extension options held are

exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. During the period the Group recognised all

extension options (2023: all recognised).

The following tables show the movements and analysis in relation to the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities,

This section explains how the Group records investments made in listed securities.

4.1 Investment in Equity Securities

During 2015, 2018 and 2019 Briscoe Group Limited acquired a total of 48,007,465 shares in KMD Brands

Limited for a cost of $87,853,048. This holding represented a 6.75% ownership in KMD Brands Limited as at 28

January 2024.

These shares are equity investments, quoted in the active market, which the Group has elected to designate as

a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). An adjustment was made at period

end to reflect the fair value of these shares as at 28 January 2024

5. Financing and Capital Structure

This section reports on the Group's funding sources and capital structure, including its balance

sheet liquidity and access to capital markets.

5.1 Interest Bearing Liabilities

Borrowings

are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently

measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption

amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

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 the balance sheet date.

There were no interest bearing liabilities as at 28 January 2024 (2023: Nil).

The Group's activities expose it to various financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (such as

currency risk and equity price risk). The Group's overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential

adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses certain derivative financial instruments to

hedge certain risk exposures.

5.2.1 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are

subsequently re-measured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on

whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The

Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

At the inception of a transaction the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, and the

risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions, are documented. An

assessment is also documented, both at hedge inception and on an on-going basis, of whether the derivatives that

are

used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in fair values or

cash flows of hedged items.

27

Briscoe Group Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the 52 week period ended 28 January 2024

5. Financing and Capital Structure

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges,

is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised

immediately in the income statement within cost of goods sold.

Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are recycled in the income statement in the periods when

the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance when the forecast purchase that is hedged takes place).

However, when a forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example,

inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in other comprehensive income are

transferred from other comprehensive income and included in the measurement of the initial cost

or carrying

amount of the asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge

accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in other

comprehensive income and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income

statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was

reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement within cost of goods

sold.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these derivative

instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement within administration expenses.

5.2.2 Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of a counterparty failing to discharge an obligation. In the normal course of its business,

Briscoe Group incurs credit risk from trade receivables and transactions with financial institutions. The Group

places its cash, short-term investments and derivative financial instruments with only high-credit-rated, Board­

approved financial institutions. Sales to retail customers are settled predominantly in cash or by using major credit

cards. Less than 1% of reported sales give rise to trade receivables. The Group holds no collateral over its trade

receivables.

5.2.3 Interest rate risk

The Group has no long-term interest-bearing liabilities but does have interest rate risk exposure from periodic short­

term drawdowns of established funding facilities and placements of short-term deposits, as operating cash flows

necessitate. The Group's short to medium term liquidity position is monitored daily and reported to the Board

monthly.

5.2.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an unforeseen event or miscalculation in the required liquidity level will result in the

Group foregoing investment opportunities or not being able to meet its obligations in a timely manner, and therefore

gives

rise to lower investment income or to higher borrowing costs than otherwise. Prudent liquidity risk

management includes maintaining sufficient cash, and ensuring the availability of adequate amounts of funding

from credit facilities.

The Group's liquidity exposure is managed by ensuring sufficient levels of liquid assets and committed facilities are

maintained based on regular monitoring of a rolling 3-month daily cash requirement forecast. The Group's liquidity

position fluctuates throughout the period, being strongest immediately after the end of the period. The months

leading up to Christmas trading put the greatest strain on Group cash flows due to the build-up of inventory as well

as the interim dividend payment. The Group operates well within its available funding facilities.

5. Financing and Capital Structure

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities and gross-settled forward foreign exchange contracts into

relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity

date. The cash flow hedge 'outflow' amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows

liable for payment by the Group in relation to all forward foreign exchange contracts in place at balance date. The

cash flow hedge 'inflow' amounts represent the corresponding injection of foreign currency back to the Group as a

result of the gross settlement on those contracts, converted using the forward rate at balance date. The carrying

value shown is the net amount of derivative financial liabilities and assets as shown in the balance sheet. Changes

in the carrying value affect profit when the underlying inventory to which the derivatives relate, is sold.

Trade and other payables are shown at carrying value in the table. No discounting has been applied as the impact

of discounting is not significant.

An analysis detailing remaining contractual maturities for lease liabilities is shown in Note 3.4.3.

5.2.5 Market risk

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from the investment held in KMD Brands Limited, classified in the

balance sheet as investment in equity securities. (Refer note 4.1 ).

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures primarily to the US dollar, in

respect of purchases of inventory directly from overseas suppliers.

The Group's foreign exchange risk is managed in accordance with Board-approved Group Treasury Risk

Management Policies. The current policy requires hedging of both committed and forecasted foreign currency

payment levels across the current and subsequent three calendar quarters. The policy is to cover 100% of

committed purchases and lower levels of forecasted purchases depending on which quarter the forecasted

exposure relates to. Hedging is reviewed regularly and reported to the Board monthly.

The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts and maintains short-term holdings of foreign currencies in

foreign denominated currency bank accounts, with major financial institutions only, to hedge its foreign exchange

risk in anticipation of future purchases.

The following table shows the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts held by the Group as derivative

financial instruments at balance date:

The contracts are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, which allows for net settlement of the

relevant assets and liabilities. For financial reporting purposes these are not offset.

Forward foreign exchange contracts - cash flow hedges

Where forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated and tested as an effective hedge the portion of

the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in other

comprehensive income. These gains or losses are released to the income statement at various dates over the

subsequent financial period as the inventory for which the hedge exists, is sold.

The

fair value of these contracts is determined by using valuation techniques as they are not traded in an active

market. The valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little

as possible on entity specific estimates. The fair value is determined

by mark-to-market valuations using forward

exchange. These derivatives have been determined to be within level 2 of the fair value

hierarchy as all significant

inputs required to ascertain their fair value are observable.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are used for hedging committed or highly probable forecast purchases of

inventory for the ensuing financial period. The contracts are timed to mature when major shipments of inventory are

scheduled to be dispatched and the liability settled. The cash flows are expected to occur at various dates within

one year from balance date.

Briscoe Group Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the 52 week period ended 28 January 2024

5. Financing and Capital Structure

At balance date these contracts are represented by assets of $548,213 (2023: $40,140) and liabilities of $259,377

(2023: $2,513,078) and together are included in equity as part of the cash flow hedge reserve, net of deferred tax,

as a net gain of $207,962 (2023: net loss $1,780,515). The cash flow hedge reserve also consists of gains and

losses,

net of deferred tax, from foreign currencies used as hedges, as a net gain of $41,557 (2023: net loss of

$88,964). The total of these net gains and losses amount to a net gain of $249,519 (2023: net loss of $1,869,479).

When forward foreign exchange contracts are not designated and tested as an effective hedge, the gain or loss on

the forward foreign exchange contract is recognised in the income statement.

At balance date there are no such contracts in place (2023: Nil).

5.2.6 Sensitivity analysis

Based on historical movements and volatilities and review of current economic commentary the following

movements are considered reasonably possible over the next 12 month period:


A shift of -5% / + 10% (2023: -10% / + 10%) in the NZD against the USO, from the period-end rate of 0.6106

(2023: 0.6506),


A shift of -0.25% / +0.25% (2023: -0.25% / +0.75%) in market interest rates from the period-end weighted

average deposit rate of 5.73% (2023: 4.54%),


A shift of -30% / +10% (2023: -10% / +20%) in the NZX share price of KMD Brands Limited (formerly

Kathmandu Holdings Ltd) from the period-end closing share price of $0. 73 (2023: $1.06).

If these movements were to occur, the positive/ (negative) impact on consolidated profit after tax and consolidated

equity for each category of financial instrument held at balance date is presented below:

5.3 Equity

5.3.1 Capital risk management

The Group's capital comprises contributed equity, reserves and retained earnings.

The Group's objective when managing capital is to achieve a balance between maximising shareholder wealth and

ensuring the Group is able to operate competitively with the flexibility to take advantage of growth opportunities as

they arise. In order to meet these objectives the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payments made to

shareholders and/or seek to raise capital through debt and/or equity. There are no specific banking or other

arrangements which require the Group to maintain specified equity levels.

6.2 Employee Equity-Based Remuneration

6.2.1 Equity settled performance rights

The Senior Executive Incentive Plan grants Group employees performance rights subject to performance

hurdles being met. The fair value of rights granted is recognised as an employee expense in the income

statement with a corresponding increase in the employee share-based payment reserve. The fair value is

measured at grant date and amortised over the vesting periods. When performance rights vest, the amount in

the share-based payments reserve relating to those rights are transferred to share capital. There is no

exercise price for these performance rights and there is no right to dividends during the vesting periods.

On 26 March 2019 the Board approved the Briscoe Group Senior Executive Incentive Plan to grant

performance rights to key senior management personnel as a long-term incentive programme. The fifth

tranche of performance rights were issued under this programme during the period.

Performance rights granted are summarised below:

In each tranche the performance rights are subject to a combination of an absolute Total Shareholder Return

(TSR) growth hurdle and/or an EPS growth hurdle. EPS growth hurdle is considered a non-market condition.

A proceeding for unspecified damages by a former supplier against Briscoes (New Zealand) Limited and

Briscoe Group Limited was served on 1 O February 2023. It relates to representations allegedly made by the

Group concerning their trading relationship, which the supplier claims contravened the Fair Trading Act 1986

and the Contracts and Commercial Law Act 2017. The Group firmly denies the allegations and is actively

defending the claim. It is not practical to estimate the potential effect or the timing of the claim as the

proceeding is ongoing and the damages sought are currently unquantified.

6.4 Events After Balance Date

On 12 March 2024 the Directors resolved to provide for a final dividend to be paid in respect of the period

ended 28 January 2024. The dividend will be paid at a rate of 16.50 cents per share for all shares on issue as

at 20 March 2024, with full imputation credits attached (Note 5.3.3).

6.5 New Accounting Standards

There were no new standards applied during the period.

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been

published that are not mandatory for the 28 January 2024 reporting period and have not been early adopted

by

the Group. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact

on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Supply Chain

Transformation

Significant progress has been made in establishing a new

distributioncentre in South Auckland. We expect the project to

requireexpenditure, inclusive of land purchase and building

construction, ofat least $100 million across the next 3 financial years.

We haveselected the warehouse management system to drive our

futuresupply chain.Implementationin our current operation is

underwayand will be completed by July 2024.

The warehouse automation system and vendor havebeenselected.

This automated storage and retrieval system will provide space

efficient storage and the goods to person pick stations will enable

cost-effective handling of less-than-carton quantities.This is a key

enabler to improving stock flow to our stores and supporting fulfilment

of orders to our online customers.

We have chosen the site for our new North Island Distribution Centre

(DC),and construction will begin this year.The DC is sized to meet

ourneeds for 20 years and provides a step change in storage

capacity,anothercritical enabler to improved stock flow.

Some of the

benefits our

Supply Chain

transformation

will deliver.

Optimisedallocation of stock to stores by

implementing a model that uses additional data

points to provide better results.
