FY24 results

Record profit and dividend declared


2 Cheap Cars Group Limited (NZX:2CC) has today reported a record $6.2m net profit after tax (NPAT)

for the full year to 31 March 2024 (FY24), an increase of $4.9m over FY23.


Summary of key results

(Figures quoted are in NZ dollars. Comparisons are made against FY23.)


 Revenue and income: $86.8m, increased 5%

 Gross margin: $20.3m up 39%.

 Vehicle sales: Down 2% to 8,169.

 Underlying EBITDA

including finance income: $11.4m, up 105%.

 Net profit after tax (NPAT): $6.2m, up $4.9m.

 Underlying NPAT

: $6.2m, up 213%.

 Underlying earnings per share (EPS): 14 cents per share (cps) vs 4.4 cps.

 Final gross dividend: 5.78 cps.

 Total FY24 gross dividend: 11.56 cps vs 0 cps.


The Company achieved full year revenue and income of $86.8m, an increase of 5%, driven by higher

prices and improved finance and insurance (F&I) penetration rates which have offset slightly lower

volumes for the full year.


2CC’s gross margin expansion strategy has been extremely effective, strengthening 6% to 23% for the

full year. This has been achieved through optimised pricing, effective promotional activity, improved

finance and insurance penetration and the continued insourcing of compliance activities. The full year

gross margin is up 39% to $20.3m.


Operating costs have risen marginally by 1% to $8.9m, significantly below the rate of inflation.

Management continues to be strongly focused on both minimising cost increases and reducing reliance

on third parties throughout the value chain.


The Company’s focus on gross margin and tight control of operating costs has seen underlying EBITDA

including finance income increase 105% to $11.4m in FY24.


Underlying NPAT, excluding last year’s non-recurring costs, increased by 213% to a record $6.2m in

FY24.


Interest costs, excluding those associated with leases, were down 52% on FY23, reflecting changes in

finance facilities and prudent capital management.


Net operating cash inflow was $6.9, down $6.3m year on year, largely due to the strategic decision to

maintain stronger inventory levels. The Company is well positioned with inventory valued at a healthy

$13.9m, (up $5.5m over FY23 which was impacted by shipping constraints).


As at 31 March 2024, the Company is in compliance with all banking covenants and has cash of $4.7m,

no net debt and total equity of $20.4m.


1

Includes interest income derived from NZ Motor Finance.

2

Excludes restructuring costs associated with board changes and other non-recurring consulting costs.

Underlying EBITDA and underlying NPAT are non-IFRS measures.



CEO Paul Millward says the full year result underscores the success of the Company’s transformation

strategy.


“Despite wider pressure on consumer retail spending, 2CC is in great shape. The Company’s strong

brand position is now well supported thanks to the work undertaken to ensure robust vehicle supply,

attract capable people and a disciplined approach to revenue and cost management. And, the decision

to focus on gross margin means the business is now on a stable footing with a clear growth strategy.”


2 Cheap Cars


Despite priority being given to increasing gross margin, pleasingly 2 Cheap Cars also held its market

share at 4.5%

3

for FY24.


2 Cheap Cars continues to be well positioned to meet the ongoing demand for electric and hybrid

vehicles (EV/HEVs). Despite regulatory changes and removal of the clean car discount, the number of

EV/HEVs sold as a proportion of total vehicle sales increased to 56%, up 14% on the year prior. Demand

– particularly for cost effective HEVs – remains stable, accounting for 54% of total vehicle sales in the

last quarter of FY24.


While the impact of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act saw a significant increase in the

number of finance applicants declined, a penetration rate of 27.5% was achieved, and income increased

by 11% to $4.9m.


Insurance penetration rates grew strongly to 37.1%, with insurance income up 9% to $2.6m.


Overall, the FY24 results reflect the successful implementation of 2 Cheap Cars’ margin expansion

strategy which is achieved by leveraging its reliable source of used cars from Japan and increasing

prices where necessary to offset cost pressures. Utilising additional shipping providers to ensure

consistent vehicle supply, undertaking and insourcing more compliance and operations activity has also

had a positive impact.


NZ Motor Finance


NZ Motor Finance loan book remains in run down mode, reducing from $3.9m at 31 March 2023 to

$1.8m at 31 March 2024 and making a profit of $0.05m for the year.


Dividend


Reflecting the positive FY24 results and strong cash position, the Board is pleased to declare a final

gross dividend of 5.78 cents per share (cps), equal to the first half dividend and slightly above the stated

dividend policy.


This brings the total gross dividends for FY24 to 11.56 cps, representing a yield of approximately 14.5%

based on the share price of $0.80 as at 23 May 2024. The record date is 31 May 2024 and the dividend

will be paid on 14 June 2024.


Outlook for FY25


2 Cheap Cars has a very clear value proposition and strategy that continues to successfully meet

market conditions, as indicated by the strong FY24 results.


With the transformation now complete, the Company’s focus remains on delivering gross margin over

market share, continuous BAU improvement and profitable, sustainable growth through its property

strategy.

Source: Autofile – based on 2 Cheap Cars’ vehicle sales as a proportion of dealer-to-public used cars sold

between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.


The property strategy is a key growth factor for 2CC, with positive steps being taken to identify and

develop new or better retail locations which benefit its scale model, particularly in Auckland.


Assuming favourable supply, currency and trading conditions, NPAT is expected to grow in FY25 by

focusing on gross margin expansion, prudent cost management, increasing direct control of the value

chain and sensible expansion in Auckland.

2 Cheap Cars Chair, Michael Stiassny said the FY25 outlook is strong, with the Company extremely

well positioned in the prevailing economic climate.


“It is incredibly tough going right now for very many New Zealanders, but they still need cars, and those

cars must be affordable. 2 Cheap Cars fulfils a vital need, and the full year results reflect that we are

doing that well, in large part due to the hard work of departing CEO, Paul Millward.


“Paul is leaving the Company in robust shape with a simple, proven strategy well-embedded and the

Board thanks him sincerely for his leadership and results. Future success will be found in continuing to

improve BAU and prudent expansion,” he said.


Founder and majority shareholder, David Sena takes over as CEO from 1 June 2024.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and

expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised

in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

During the year management updated its estimates of expected loss provisions and the discount rate applied to loans, refer

to Note 14 for further information.

2 Cheap Cars Group Ltd (the Company) is a company domiciled in New Zealand.

The Company is incorporated in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is publicly traded on the New

Zealand Stock Exchange.

These consolidated financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013.

These consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries:

2 Cheap Cars Limited, NZ Motor Finance Limited, 2CC International Limited, 2 Cheap Rental Cars Limited, Car Safety NZ

Limited and Car Plus K.K. (collectively, the Group).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in

New Zealand (GAAP) and the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

These financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

As such, they also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except that certain assets and

liabilities are measured at fair value where stated under their specific accounting policies.

These consolidated financial statements for the Group are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the Group's

functional and the Group's presentation currency. All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest

thousand dollars.

(b) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

The Group has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in these financial statements as its

previous annual financial statements, except for those detailed in note 2(f) and (g) above.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses

resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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. The

financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control

commences.

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as if they formed

a single entity. Intra-group transactions and balances are therefore eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from

the date that control ceases.

The subsidiaries of 2 Cheap Cars Group Ltd, all of which have been included in these consolidated financial statements, are

as follows:

Country of incorporation and

principal place of business

Proportion of ownership

interest

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences arising from settlement at a different exchange rate are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities

At balance date, foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency at the closing rate and

exchange variations are recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities

Foreign non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical costs are translated using the exchange

rate at the date of the transactions. Any foreign currency difference arising due to translating to functional currency are

recognised in profit or loss.

(c) Revenue
(i) Vehicles sold

(ii) Insurance policies

(iii) Sale of scrap parts

(iv) Commissions received (booking fee, sales, finance)

(v) Interest revenue calculated using the effective interest method

Performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition

The specific revenue recognition policies associated with the Group’s distinct performance obligations (as presented in Note

4) are detailed below:

Revenue is recognised at a point-in-time, with the transfer of control determined as the point purchaser takes final physical

possession of the vehicle.

Commission revenue is recognised on an agent basis at a point-in-time , with the transfer of control determined at the point

the end customer enters into a signed insurance policy with the insurance provider (principal). As the uncertainty associated

with any commission clawbacks is resolved, previously deferred revenue recognised as contract liabilities is released and

recognised as revenue.

Revenue is recognised at a point-in-time, with the transfer of control determined as the point that the purchaser takes final

physical possession of the scrap parts.

Revenue is recognised on an agent basis at a point-in-time , with the transfer of control determined as the point the end

customer enters into a signed finance agreement with the finance provider (principal). As the uncertainty associated with any

commission clawbacks is resolved, previously deferred revenue recognised as contract liabilities is released and recognised

as revenue.

Interest revenue comprises interest on loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Interest revenue is recognised

based on the effective interest method.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to, excluding amounts collected

on behalf of third parties and net of rebates, discounts and payments to customers that are not in consideration for separate

goods or services provided. This represents the fair value of total consideration payable, including both cash and in the case

of vehicles sold, any vehicle trade-ins.

Where the ultimate transaction price receivable is subject to variability (such as in the case of vehicle returns or clawbacks

on commissions) revenue is recognised only to the extent that it is highly probable that the revenue recognised would not be

subsequently reversed.

Revenue is recognised when the control associated with a good or service (or in aggregate thereof) representing a distinct

performance obligation is transferred from the Group to the customer.

Where a single contract contains two or more distinct performance obligations, the total transaction price of the contract is

allocated between the separate performance obligations based on their stand-alone-sales-prices, and represents the

revenue to be recognised with respect to that separate performance obligation.

Revenue is recognised on an over-time basis subject to meeting specific criteria, otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point-

in-time , being the point that the customer obtains control of the good or service subject to various indicators.

Payment received from customers before revenue is recognised and presented as a “Contract liability” in the consolidated

statement of financial position.

Receivables resulting from revenue being recognised before the Company is able to contractually invoice for the goods or

services provided is recognised and presented as a “Other current asset” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Page 10

(d) Insurance contracts
NZ IFRS 17 Insurance contracts becomes effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023.

- Use of interest-bearing borrowings (interest rate risk); and:

- Purchases in foreign currencies (foreign currency risk).

(e) Tax

(i)

(ii) temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill; and

(iii)

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or

substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax also

includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for

financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business

combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss,

temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the

timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that they will not

reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using

tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and

whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all

open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience.

This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New

information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax

liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

NZ IFRS 17 Insurance contracts provides a scope exception for certain contracts that provide waivers (forgiveness) of loan

balances upon the occurrence of specified events. Rather than accounting for these waivers as insurance contracts, the

scope exemptions permits the Group to elect to account for such loans entirely as financial instruments.

The Group has elected to apply this scope exemption. Further details of the accounting policy relating to Loans receivable to

which the scope exemption directly effects can be found in Note 7.

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except to the

extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In such cases, the tax is also

recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, respectively.

(ii) when it does not assume the (inventory) risk of the goods or services, and/or

(iii) it does not have discretion in setting the price payable by the end customer.

Page 11

(f) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits

(ii) Defined contribution plans (Kiwisaver etc.)

(iii) Share-based payment arrangements

(g) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

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

and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but

they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised

simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that

it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed

at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items

(major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net

proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the

expenditure will flow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating annual leave that are expected to be

settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised

in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid

when the liabilities are settled.

These include salaries and wages accrued up to the reporting date and annual leave earned, but not yet taken at the

reporting date. The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where they are contractually obliged or where

there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income in the year to which they relate.

Equity Settled Transactions.

The Group has provided benefits to key management personnel in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees

render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled

transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value benefit of the equity instruments at the date at which

they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, conditions linked to the price of the shares of 2 Cheap Cars Group

Ltd (NZX:2CC - market conditions) are considered where applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised,

together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are

fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the

vesting date).

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment

losses.

Page 12

(iii) Depreciation
The useful lives and depreciation method used for significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Leasehold improvements 6.7% - 20.0% SL

Furniture and fittings 6.3% - 50.0% SL

Motor vehicles 10.0% - 50.0% SL

Computer equipment 20.0% - 100% SL

Workshop equipment 10.0% - 50.0% SL

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(h) Inventories

Vehicles acquired via trade-in from car sales with customers are initially measured at their trade-in date fair value.

(i) Financial instruments

The Group recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(i) Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement

At Amortised cost

Impairment allowances for Trade receivables

Impairment allowances for Loans receivable

Financial assets are classified based on whether their repayments represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI),

and whether the instrument is held to collect those repayments, and/ or to be sold.

These financial assets represent those held to collect SPPI, and include: Trade and other receivables; Loans receivable

(those that do not include waiver clauses); Cash and cash equivalents (including cash in hand, deposits held at call with

banks).

These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less

impairment.

Are recognised based on the simplified approach within NZ IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the

lifetime expected credit losses. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectible, the gross carrying value of the

asset is written off against the associated impairment allowance.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an

item of property, plant and equipment.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value with due allowance for any damaged and obsolete

stock items. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring

the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. For those financial instruments that are classified as amortised cost

this includes directly attributable transaction costs. For those financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or

loss, any directly attributable transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities are measured

net of transaction costs.

For plant and equipment, depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of

individual assets that have a useful life that is different from the remainder of those assets are depreciated separately.

Are recognised based on a forward-looking expected credit loss (“ECL”) model. The methodology used to determine the

amount of the allowance is based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the

financial asset.

For those where the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, twelve month

expected credit losses along with gross interest income are recognised (“Stage 1”).

For those for which credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses along with the gross interest income

are recognised (“Stage 2”). The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is

more than 30 days past due.

Page 13

- significant financial difficulty of the borrower;
- a breach of contract, such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Impairment allowances for Cash and cash equivalents

Balances held with “investment grade” counterparties a significant increase in credit risk is deemed not be present.

At Fair value through profit or loss (non-derivatives)

Accordingly, these balances are classified and measured subsequently as at fair value through profit or loss.

At Fair value through profit or loss (derivatives)

(ii) Financial liabilities - classification and subsequent measurement

At Amortised cost

Includes; Trade and other payables; Borrowings; Lease liabilities.

These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

At Fair value through profit or loss (derivatives)

(iii) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets

For those that are determined to be credit impaired (in default), lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on

a net basis are recognised (“Stage 3”). The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is

more than 90 days past due, as well as observable evidence with respect to:

- granting to the borrower a concession for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty; that

the Group would not consider otherwise; or

When determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset,

and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available

without undue cost or effort.

This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and

informed credit assessment and includes forward looking information.

The gross carrying amount of Loans receivable is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering

the balance in its entirety or a portion thereof.

These financial assets represent Loans receivable (that include waiver clauses). In applying the scope exemption in NZ IFRS

17 Insurance Contracts to these contracts, such that they are accounted for as financial assets in their entirety, the presence

of the waiver clauses results in repayments not representing SPPI. Loans receivable includes loans on which customers

voluntarily elect to opt for additional Asset Waiver and/or Income Waiver products which are offered by the Group.

Repayments of these loans are recognised as reductions in the carrying amount, with fair value gains or losses at each

reporting date recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is

designated as such on initial recognition, otherwise the it is classified as At Amortised cost.

Derivatives financial liabilities represent “out of the money” derivative contracts that are classified and measured

subsequently as At Fair value through profit or loss, with fair value gains or losses at each reporting date recognised in profit

or loss.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it

transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of

ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks

and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

Derivatives financial assets represent “in the money” derivative contracts that are classified and measured subsequently as

at fair value through profit or loss, with fair value gains or losses at each reporting date recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Impairment of non-financial assets

(j) Share capital

Ordinary shares

(k) Goods and services tax

With the exception of trade payables and receivables, all items are stated exclusive of Goods and Services Tax.

(l) Reserves

Amalgamation reserve

(m) Leases

• Leases of low value assets; and

• Leases with a duration of 12 months or less.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid

(including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets and inventories, are reviewed at

each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s

recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment

losses directly reduce the carrying amount of assets and are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are

substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

The estimated recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting

these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risks specific to the asset.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-

generating unit to which the asset belongs.

A cash-generating unit is the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely

independent of the cash inflows of the other assets or groups of assets.

Impairment losses are reversed when there is a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount and there

is an indication that the impairment loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent

that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation

or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. All impairment losses are reversed through profit or loss.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised

as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

The amalgamation reserve represents the difference between the fair value of consideration paid and the carrying amount of

net assets in a business combination where the acquirer and acquiree are controlled by the same (ultimate) party (business

combination under common control).

All leases in which the Group is a lessee are accounted for by recognising a Right-of-use asset and a Lease liability except

for:

Payments associated with all leases of low-value assets and short-term leases of equipment and vehicles are recognised on

a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

Page 15

(i) Initial measurement
Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the Lease liability also includes:

• amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;

• Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

• Initial direct costs incurred; and

(ii) Subsequent measurement

(iii) Remeasurement

(iv) Modifications to lease agreements

Increases in scope:

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the

discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily

determinable, in which case the Group’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease

payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate, however in such

cases the initial present value determination assumes that the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease

term.

• the exercise price of any purchase option granted in favour of the Group if it is reasonable certain to assess that option;

• any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination

option being exercised.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the Lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and

increased for:

• The amount of any provision recognised where the Group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the

leased asset (typically make-good provisions on buildings).

Subsequent to initial measurement Lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance

outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.

Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining

economic life of the asset if, rarely, this is judged to be shorter than the lease term. Right-of-use assets are also subject to

impairment assessment at reporting date.

When the Group revises its determination of the use (or non-use) of renewal and/or termination options, the carrying amount

of the lease liability is adjusted to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the revised

discount rate.

The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a

rate or index is revised, however this is discounted at the original discount rate.

In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying

amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term.

For changes in lease payments as a result of COVID-19, the carrying value of lease liabilities is revised and discounted at

the original discount rate, with a corresponding adjustment to profit or loss (variable lease payment).

When the Group renegotiates the contractual terms of a lease with the lessor, the accounting depends on the nature of the

modification:

• If the renegotiation results in one or more additional assets being leased for an amount commensurate with the stand-alone

price (i.e. market rate) for the additional rights-of-use obtained, the modification is accounted for as a separate lease in

accordance with the above policy.

• In all other cases (whether that is an extension to the lease term, or one or more additional assets being leased), the lease

liability is remeasured using the revised discount rate applicable on the modification date, with the right-of-use asset being

adjusted by the same amount.

Page 16

Decreases in scope:
The right-of-use asset is adjusted by the same amount.

(n) Government grants

(o) Finance income and finance expenses

Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings.

(p) Intangible assets

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

- Trademarks 10 years

Amortisation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(q) Cash and cash equivalents

Finite Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date

that they are available for use.

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits

held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or

less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value,

and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of

financial position.

• Both the carrying amount of the lease liability and right-of-use asset are reduced by the same proportion to reflect the partial

of full termination of the lease with any difference recognised in profit or loss.

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in

the periods in which the associated expenses are recognised.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are

recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

The lease liability is then further adjusted to ensure its carrying amount reflects the amount of the renegotiated payments

over the renegotiated term, with the modified lease payments discounted at the rate applicable on the modification date.

As cash and cash balances are held with counterparties with “investment grade” credit ratings, there is not deemed to be a significant

increase in credit risk associated with the Group’s Cash and cash equivalents balance. Credit rating is as per Standard & Poor.

Term deposits are presented as cash equivalents if they have a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition and are

repayable with 24 hours’ notice with no loss of interest. See note 3(q) for the group’s other accounting policies on cash and cash

The following table details the risk profile of the Group’s provision matrix for loan receivables collectively assessed for impairment. The

provision disclosed relates to loans assured at amortised cost only. Provision on loans valued at fair value are included in the fair value

gain or loss.

Collective

Expected

loss rate

Loans receivable measured at fair value (financial instruments that include waiver based clauses) are modelled at fair value and include an

effective default risk impairment rate of 9.8% (2023: 4.6%), collection costs of 1%, and a discount rate of 11.2% which are factored into the

inputs of the valuation.

Loans Receivable measured at amortised cost (financial assets representing solely payments of principal and interest) have been impaired

at 9.8% (2023: 4.6%), using the expected credit loss model.

(iii) Short term leases

As at 31 March 2024 Short-term lease expense (excluding leases of 1 month or less) being $39,600

As standard industry practice, several of the Groups property leases are subject to periodic CPI increases and/or market rent reviews. A

1% increase in these payments would result in an additional $23,130 (2023: $20,090) cash outflow compared to the current period’s cash

outflow. (2023: 1%)

The Group’s property leases typically include renewal and termination options. The Group must assess whether it reasonably expects (or

not) to exercise these when determining the lease term.

These are all leases that exclude 1 month or less in duration, which management have assessed do not qualify as a lease under NZ

IFRS16 leases and have not been capitalised as a result.

Forward contracts were taken out during the year to provide cover for risks that could potentially arise from foreign currency fluctuations in

the buying & selling of inventories. If the contracts are realised at fair market value at the balance date, this would result in a foreign

exchange gain on derivatives of $13k as at 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: Foreign exchange loss of $55k).

26. Financial instruments - risk management
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to the following financial risks:

(a) Credit risk

(b) Market risk

(c) Liquidity risk

(d) Currency risk

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial asset fails to meet their contractual obligations.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

As cash and cash balances are held with counterparties with “investment grade” credit ratings, there is not deemed to be a significant

increase in credit risk associated with the Group’s Cash and cash equivalents balance. Credit rating is as per Standard & Poor.

The Group has an Audit & Risk Committee that monitors credit risk as part of its wider duties.

Cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions are presented in the table below:

* Standard & Poor’s

Interest rates on interest bearing cash and cash equivalents and investments range between 0.02% - 5.36% (2022: 0.86% - 0.4.61%).

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining

ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective

implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Board receives monthly reports from the Chief Financial

Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it

sets. The Group’s internal finance team also review the risk management policies and processes and report their findings to the Audit

Committee.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Groups

competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies as they relate to the specific financial risks that the Group is

exposed to are set out below.

Page 31

(b) Market risk
Market risk arises from the Group’s:

- Use of interest-bearing borrowings (interest rate risk); and

- Purchases in foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange risk).

i. Interest rate risk

ii. Foreign currency exchange risk

There are open forward exchange contracts of $4.0m at the end of the reporting period (2023: $5.2m).

The net foreign exchange loss recognised for the year was $0.79m (2023: $0.32m loss).

(c) Liquidity risk

The following table sets out the contractual maturities (representing undiscounted contractual cash-flows) of financial liabilities:

Total3,826 1,967 1,558 3,798 1,532 12,681

To mitigate foreign exchange risk on significant purchases, the Group enters into forward exchange contracts to match the timing and

amount of payments due. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into, and they are

subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The Group does not apply hedge accounting to these transactions, and they are classified as held for trading for accounting purposes and

are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. They are presented as current assets or liabilities to the extent they are expected to be

settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. They are considered level 2 fair value measurements being based on the

present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the reporting date.

Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its

financial obligations as they fall due.

The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve

this the Group maintains a monthly forecast on its future cash position to ensure it can meet financial obligations when they fall due.

The Board receives monthly financial statements which include statements of financial position, performance and cash flows, as well as

budget/forecast variance reports, to ensure it holds or will hold cash equivalents to meet its obligations.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market

interest rates.

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk from its fixed / variable rate borrowing and lease liabilities, with rates between 9.3% -

3.3% (2023: 9.4% - 3.75%).

The Group currently does not have any sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies, however, the Group has purchases

transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

During the current reporting period, the Group has purchased used cars with purchase prices denominated in foreign currencies (YEN).

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of 2 Cheap Cars Group Limited

Opinion

I have audited the consolidated financial statements of 2 Cheap Cars Group Limited (“the Company”)

and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise:

•the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2024;

•the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated

statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then

ended; a

nd

•t

he notes to the consolidated financial statements including a summary of significant

accounting policies.

I am a partner with UHY Haines Norton Chartered Accountants Sydney (the Firm) and I have used the

staff and resources of the Firm to perform the audit of the Group.

In my opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material

respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2024, and its consolidated

financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New

Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) issued by the New

Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (“ISAs

(NZ)”) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. My responsibilities under

those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated

Financial Statements section of my report.

I am independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International

Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New

Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International

Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants

(including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and I have fulfilled my other ethical

responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my

opinion.

Other than in my capacity as auditor, neither myself, the firm or the firm’s staff have no relationship

with, or interests in, the Group.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgement, were of most significance in

my audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed

in the context of my audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming my

opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Why the audit matter is significant How myaudit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition

The Group has recognised revenue of

$86.8m (FY 2022: $82.7m) (Note 4). 2CC

Group’s net sales comprises revenue

from the sale of cars, insurance agent

commissions and finance agent

commissions.

Revenue is recognised when the control

associated with a good or service (or in

aggregate thereof) representing a

distinct performance obligation is

transferred from the Group to the

customer.

There are a number of factors that could

affect this reported amount, including

the risk for revenue recognition policies

being incorrectly applied or recognised

in an incorrect period. This presents a

key audit matter due to the financial

significance and nature of net sales in

the financial statements.

To address the risk associated with revenue

recognition, the following audit procedures were

carried out:

•Evaluated the design of management's internal

controls related to revenue recognition.

•Reviewed revenue recognition policies for

appropriateness and compliance with relevant

accounting standards.

•Selected a sample of transactions and

inspected supporting sales documentation,

cash received and assessed whether all criteria

related to revenue recognition has been met

before being recognised as revenue.

•Reviewed credit notes posted after year end to

ascertain revenue recognition during the year.

•Performed revenue cut off procedures by

selecting revenue samples before and after

year end and testing that revenue is recorded

in the correct period.

•Performed analytical procedures by comparing

average gross margins by make of the cars on

a year on year basis, and by analysing the

movement of gross margins relative to the

prior period and on a monthly basis.

•Reviewed manual revenue journals as part of

the journal entry testing process.

•Assessed the reasonability and completeness

of the revenue related disclosures to test

compliance with the requirements of the

accounting standards.

I

nformation Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual

report. The annual report is expected to be made available to me after the date of this auditor’s report.

My opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and I do

not and will not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with my audit of the consolidated financial statements, my responsibility is to read the

other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the

other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or my

knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When I read the annual report, if I conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, I am

required to report that fact.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the

consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, and for such internal control as the

Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that

are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the

Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,

matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors

either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do

so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

My objective is 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 my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not

a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material

misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material

if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic

decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial

statements is located on the External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/.

This description forms part of my auditor’s report.

Restriction on use of my report

This report is made solely to the Group’s shareholders, as a body. My audit work has been undertaken

so that I might state to the Group’s shareholders, as a body those matters which I am required to state

to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do

not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Group and the Group’s shareholders, as

a body, for my audit work, for this report or for the opinion I have formed.
