Overview
Gentrack’s market segments of energy, water and airports are growth

markets providing essential services.

Gentrack’s mission in utilities is to help the world accelerate towards a

net zero future by supporting the global modernisation of energy and

water retailers. Gentrack has c690 committed utility professionals who

are passionate about this purpose. They work tirelessly to demonstrate

our leadership in this dynamic landscape as utilities world-wide embark

on their transformation journey.

Strong revenue growth comes in part from doing more with our current

customers as they innovate. They face a myriad of drivers for system

change including regulatory and competitive dynamics; data insights

from real time smart meter interactions; time of use pricing; great

customer experience; new operating models; and per capita water

consumption targets.

Chairman and CEO’s commentary

Additionally, we have four new utility customers in FY24, including new

wins in Saudi Arabia and the Philippines. We now have utility customers in

eight countries. The pipeline of new opportunities continues to develop

and, as we said in our May 2024 earnings forecast, we are targeting

further wins in FY25 in our current markets and new territories.

Separately, our Airports Division, Veovo, which operates in 23 countries

and over 140 airports, is playing a leading role in the digitization and

modernisation of the industry. We have a top-class team and great

technology with over 90 professionals in the division.

We expect continued progress at Veovo. With almost no customer churn,

continued new wins (such as FY24 wins of Manchester Airports Group

and the airports of Saudi Arabia) add depth to our recurring revenue

base. We expect to secure renewals, upsells and new wins from our

strong pipeline in FY25.

Financial performance
For the Group, revenues increased 25.5% over

the prior year period to $213.2m. In our Utilities

business, total revenue grew by 23% to $181.3m.

Underlying Utilities revenue, excluding $27.6m

of revenue in FY23 from insolvent customers,

grew by 51%. Upgrades and other customer

transformations, new customer wins and strong

demand for innovation and change from across

our customer base helped drive our non-

recurring revenues 104% higher to $60m. Whilst

wins and upsells from prior periods increased

our recurring revenues by 33% to $121.3m.

New customer wins in the UK and the Middle

East have powered Veovo to a 45.5% increase

in revenue over the prior period to $31.9m. The

project work to implement these wins alongside

upgrades from existing customers have driven

non-recurring revenues 101% higher v prior year

to $15.7m. This includes $6.8m ($2.0m in FY23)

of revenue from sales of hardware sourced

from our supplier network. Customer wins and

upgrades from prior periods have also pushed

recurring revenues 15% higher to $16.3m.

EBITDA at $23.6m ($23.2m in FY23) includes

$7.1m booked against expected payroll tax on

the Group’s LTI schemes (compared to $0.3m

in FY23). This follows the strong rise in our

share price across the year. The tax is based

on the share price at vesting. Furthermore, for

LTI awards to management made at the start

of FY24 more shares vest and vest earlier when

the share price is higher and so we are now

amortising most of this expected cost over two

rather than three years.

We have continued to increase investment in

strategic R&D, all of which has been expensed,

as well as increase our sales & marketing spend

to support our international expansion.

Our NPAT of $9.5m ($10m in FY23) includes a

$1.3m loss being our share of the losses of

Amber in which we acquired a 10% stake during

the year. Alongside our equity we hold a seat

on Amber’s Board and so account for this

investment as an associate company within

our financial statements.

Gentrack continues to deliver strong cash

generation. Our cash as of 30 September 2024

was $66.7m, a $17.5m increase over the start of

the year, after investing $12.9m in Amber.

Gentrack’s Utilities and Veovo businesses

both operate in high growth and consolidating

markets. Today the Board believes that the

best use of the company’s capital is to

continue to invest in growth. We have therefore

decided not to pay a dividend. We will keep the

use of capital under regular review.

Bringing value to our

Energy and Water

customers

Gentrack and our customers are also

consistently recognised as leading and shaping

the industry’s change. Some examples include:

Red Energy, which has been the Canstar

Leading Energy Supplier for 13 years in a row

in Australia, the world’s most dynamic

energy market.

Ecotricity, which is Citizens Advice Customer

Experience leader in the UK, the world’s most

competitive energy market.

g2.0 and other technology
updates

The g2.0 technology strategy, with Salesforce’s

Energy and Utility Cloud embedded, is resonating

very well with our existing and potential

customers. A recent testament to this has been

g2.0 winning three prestigious awards at the

Asian Business Review Awards 2024 for Enterprise

Software Energy, Enterprise Software Utilities,

and ESG Tech Utilities.

In November 2023, Genesis Energy selected our

g2.0 solution to modernise their business and we

are making good progress in this transformation

program which will remain a key program across

FY25. Upgrade discussions with parts of our

customer base are underway and new

customer sales are on g2.0.

We have a strong and exciting technology

roadmap for FY25. We continue to invest in data

solutions for better AI insights and automation

as well as a broad range of sellable, add on

functionality that energy and water customers

need as they transform and innovate.

We continue to invest in products in areas

such as dynamic pricing and propositions for

distributed energy sources such as battery

optimisation for industry, homes, and electric

vehicles. Our minority investment in Amber

accelerates our roadmap in this key energy

transition domain. Amber is an Australian based

technology company and energy retailer that

gives customers direct access to real time

energy prices and the technology to automate

their home batteries and EVs. Their product

is augmenting our solution well and we see

encouraging interest in the combined Gentrack

and Amber solution. We are pleased to have

achieved our first win on a joint Gentrack and

Amber solution in Europe.

We also work with other distributed resources

management technology suppliers to bring the

right energy solution to our customers in this

nascent market.

5

Veovo’s leading technology

capabilities

Veovo has had another strong year of growth.

Airports have returned to 2019 passenger

numbers and that has meant a drive for

technology to deliver more capacity and better

journeys.

FY24 has seen a number of big projects for

Veovo. We have had major success in the Middle

East with large contracts in Saudi Arabia for

our Passenger Predictability products and the

delivery of Airport Billing in Dubai. In the UK,

Manchester Airport Group has selected Veovo

for Passenger tracking and Queue measurement

across all their airports.

We continue to have excellent customer

retention, with upgrades to our Gen8 platform for

airport operations being rolled out in New Zealand,

Australia, the UK, and North America. This is driving

both growth and cementing Veovo’s incredible

record for customer retention.

We expect Veovo to continue this strong story in

FY25, with current projects becoming operational

and a strong pipeline of opportunities with

existing and new customers.

Climate statement
Our FY24 Annual Report will include our first Climate Statement under New

Zealand climate related disclosures regime. We believe that our technologies

can play a key role in accelerating a sustainable future for the planet. Our

platforms support automation and operational efficiency at airports. At

Utilities, we deliver customer centric solutions that can help end customers

adopt greener solutions to advance the energy transition.

Looking forward

Both the utilities and airports industries are transforming at pace. They are

dynamic markets in a state of change, and we are confident in our ability to

lead these markets globally over time.

We would like to thank our customers and shareholders for their continued

support, and the entire Gentrack team for their achievements and for their

commitment to Gentrack’s future.

The global imperative of decarbonisation is accelerating demand, regulatory

changes, and customer expectations, creating new business opportunities

across the worldwide energy and water industries. Utilities are central to this

transition, acting as the pivot around which sustainable energy and water

system revolve. From deploying new physical and digital infrastructure to

developing new service-based business models and creating new energy

markets, utilities are poised to become the technical and operational

foundation for the energy transition.

Throughout FY24, Gentrack reaffirmed its role as the partner of choice,

helping our customers in achieving their goals. Our mission is to accelerate

the world towards a net zero future by leading the global modernisation of

energy and water retailers.

As utilities transition from ‘simple commodity providers’ to multi-solution

energy transition providers, they must re-platform IT systems and rethink

operating models, adopting cutting-edge billing and CRM technologies.

That’s the essence of Gentrack g2.0: a cloud-based solution combining

Salesforce’s leading CRM pre-integrated with a modern billing system,

redeveloped on AWS cloud, leveraging 37 years of meter-to-cash expertise.

Gentrack’s solution differentiates from traditional legacy systems with

pre-built, out-of-the-box customer journeys (business processes) that

can be extended and customised with low-code/no-code technologies.

The modular g2.0 stack allows our customers to modernise at their own

pace, starting for instance, with Data Modernisation, to leverage g2.0

Data & Analytics capabilities, harness data growth, and improve business

performance control.

Gentrack’s g2.0 has been recognised as a leading solution in the industry

earning three prestigious awards at the Australian Technology Excellence

Awards, run by the Asian Business Review: Enterprise Software for Utilities,

Enterprise Software for Energy, and ESG Tech for Utilities.

FY24 has been another remarkable year for Gentrack, highlighted by new

customer wins, expansion into new countries, and the renewal and upgrade

of strategic customer partnerships – helping them strengthen and advance

their leadership positions.

Our focus remains on helping our customers to:

1. Modernise their IT stack to save costs, streamline operations and

boost innovation

2. Deliver a first-class customer experience

3. Accelerate the transition to net zero

Vocus Group, a multi-services company connecting people, businesses,

governments, and communities across Australia, has selected Gentrack

to implement a modern billing system and customer experience product

suite to serve its Dodo customers. By migrating its customer base to

the Gentrack platform, Dodo will benefit from advanced data analytics,

seamless integration with Salesforce, and a scalable cloud-based solution

powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

This partnership enables Dodo to expand its multi-play services, including

internet, gas, electricity, mobile, and bundled offerings, solidifying its

position as a leading service provider in the Australian market.

Customer awards

Transforming the core IT system is a pivotal moment

where the role of the CIO can become a high-stakes

risk or a rewarding success. In September 2024,

Mercury’s Head of Integration, Nick Pudney received

the New Zealand CIO Awards (sponsored by the analyst

company IDC) for ‘Business Transformation through

Digital and IT’, highlighting the impact of digital

transformation.’

After acquiring Trustpower, Mercury selected Gentrack

as its unified billing and CRM provider, phasing out

Mercury’s SAP platform. The project was successfully

delivered on time, on budget, and with no impact on

customer satisfaction during the migration.

By leveraging Gentrack’s advanced

billing system, we are poised to


deliver exceptional service to our

customers while driving innovation


in the energy sector.

Nitesh Naidoo

Chief Executive, Consumer, Vocus Group

We had three choices [for our unified billing and

CRM selection]: to use the Mercury technology

stack, which was SAP based, to use the Trustpower

technology stack, which was Gentrack based, or to

choose a new third way forward. It became clear to us

that if we wanted to leverage multi-product bundle

retail in New Zealand, the Gentrack stack was going to

support us to achieve our long-term ambitions.

Cloud migration / go live – water

Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) is facing a range of increasing

challenges, including impacts of climate change, aging

infrastructure, environmental impacts, rapidly growing tourist

demand, a skills and capacity shortage, and an unviable

financial model. To address these, WAF has taken a major

step forward in its digital transformation journey with the

successful 2024 launch of Gentrack’s cloud-based platform

on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Now fully operational, this innovative technology is delivering

significant business benefits by enhancing customer service,

streamlining billing and collections, and supporting advanced

water metering across Fiji.

We brought together two businesses,

E.ON and npower. That migration we think

is the biggest I&C migration that’s ever

been done within the UK market. Now we’re

looking to the future and how does this

market evolve with data flexibility, AI and

all those things and we’re really looking

forward to working with you [Gentrack] to

help us unlock that.

Anthony Ainsworth

Chief Operating Officer,

npower Business Solutions

It’s a major step forward in our journey

to improve our service delivery to all

our valued customers. The new cloud

platform will enable us to better serve

our customers and meet our strategic

objectives as an essential service

provider in Fiji.

Sekove Uluinayau – MBA, MAICD

Chief Customer Officer, WAF

Strategic partnership renewed

In 2024, several key customers reaffirmed their confidence in Gentrack,

and we are proud to count npower Business Solutions (nBS) among them.

Throughout our five-year relationship, npower Business Solutions and

Gentrack have successfully completed one of the largest business

transformations in the industry, bringing npower and E.ON’s I&C customer

operations onto a common billing and CRM platform. This strategic

move, combined with a broader business transformation programme, has

accelerated nBS’s digital capabilities and strengthened its position as a

leader in the dynamic I&C energy sector and the transition to net zero.

Market expansion & rebranding

Solstice Energy is on a mission to transform the Tasmanian

energy landscape, and Gentrack is proud to be a key

partner in their successful 2024 rebrand and market

expansion from being a gas provider to dual gas and

electricity supplier.

With Gentrack’s advanced technology, Solstice Energy

now benefits from a stable billing system, unified customer

data, and the flexibility to offer bundled gas and electricity

services, keeping them ahead of evolving market trends.

Time-to-market /

instant innovation

PacificLight Power Pte Ltd, a leading

power generator and electricity retailer

in Singapore, has achieved a remarkable

transformation in customer service and

billing operations through Gentrack’s

cloud-based solution.

In just 8 months, they successfully

transformed their customer service

and billing for residential customers,

both on-schedule and on-budget. This

upgrade allows them to onboard new

customers in 1-2 minutes and launch

new promotions within 30 minutes.

The energy market is undergoing significant national and

international change, and Solstice Energy is changing

with that to become a diversified energy business.

Gentrack’s ongoing innovation and support ensure that

we provide a reliable and efficient service, reinforcing

trust in our systems and service.

Sarah Thurstans (GAICD)

General Manager Retail, Solstice Energy

On average, it takes approximately 30 minutes for us to set up a new

campaign within the system. If we were to include User Acceptance

Testing, the entire process would take between 1-2 hours if both

processes were to be done concurrently.

[since migration to Gentrack] We see a significant reduction in

billing errors, resulting in fewer customer complaints and improved

customer satisfaction. This reduction in customer issues not only

saved the company resources spent on addressing complaints but

also enhanced our overall operational efficiency. Additionally, the

streamlined billing process allowed us to allocate resources more

effectively, leading to cost savings.

UK #1 in customer experience

Once recognised as a disruptive force for green energy,

Ecotricity is now celebrated for delivering the best residential

customer experience in the UK. Ranked #1 for customer service

by Citizen Advice, in Q1 and Q2 2024, Ecotricity topped 15 UK

utilities, with, a star rating of 3.77 out of 5 – 23% above the

average energy supplier score of 3.07/5.

Since moving out from SAP systems, Ecotricity has leveraged

Gentrack’s advanced technology to enhance customer

interactions and streamline billing processes. We’re proud that in

2024, Ecotricity, chose to extend its partnership with Gentrack.

Customer excellence – once again

In 2024, our valued Australian customer, Red Energy, once again received Canstar Blue’s

award for ‘Most Satisfied Customers’ – an impressive achievement, marking 14 consecutive

years. Canstar, Australia’s biggest financial comparison site, helps consumers confidently

chose the right products by comparing more brands than any other platform.

Adding to their successes, in April 2024, Red Energy also received the Roy Morgan

Customer Satisfaction Award for ‘Electricity Provider of the Year’, marking their second

consecutive win in this category and their eighth Roy Morgan Satisfaction Award overall.

These recognitions are a testament to Red Energy’s unwavering commitment to delivering

exceptional customer service.

Our partnership with Gentrack allows us to

better serve our domestic and commercial

customers, providing smooth and reliable

account management. The energy landscape

is always evolving, and we look forward to

continuing this relationship to accelerate our

mission for a greener Britain.

New logo, new partner

In February 2024, Gentrack invested in Australian

utility and technology provider Amber Electric to

enhance and globally license Amber’s disruptive

distributed energy resource management (DERM)

solution. This partnership has led Amber Electric

to transition from its legacy IT stack to Gentrack’s

next generation g2.0 billing and CRM platform.

Amber has also achieved significant international

success partnering with E.ON Next in the UK.

This rapid growth and the strong global market

demand highlight the uniqueness and superiority

of Amber’s solution.

From our first meeting with Gentrack

it was clear we have a common vision.

For us, having a strong global delivery

partner who is reliable, respected and

capable is essential. Gentrack will

accelerate our ambition of maximising

and expanding the number of markets

we can reach with our technology.

Business update: airports
15

In FY24, Veovo achieved record results, with

revenues of $31.9m and profits of $5.3m, marking

a growth of 45.5%. Our technology supported

over one billion passengers across more than

140 airports, helping airports manage surging

passenger volumes and capacity constraints.

As traveller numbers surpass pre-pandemic

levels, airports face pressure to improve both

passenger experience and operational

efficiency while grappling with delayed

capital expansion projects.

To address these needs, the industry has

accelerated its digital transformation efforts,

and Veovo is leading this shift. Our intelligent

airport solutions enable airports to optimise

resource management, reshape passenger

experiences, and make operations more

predictable and profitable.

In Saudi Arabia, we are rolling out our passenger

flow technology to support the country’s aviation

expansion. This advanced system provides real-

time insights into bottlenecks, allowing airports to

make quick, data-driven adjustments to staffing

and resource allocation. A similar new initiative

with Manchester Airports Group (MAG) in the UK

has seen its three airports benefit from one of

Europe’s largest airport LiDAR implementations.

As the market leader in airport revenue

management systems, we have just completed

the roll out at one of the world’s largest aviation

hubs in Dubai, making their airline billing more

accurate, reducing revenue leakage and improving

billing efficiency through greater automation.

James Williamson

Chief Executive Officer

With the data from Veovo, we have opened up a

whole new world... about how we can redesign our

airports to maximise the opportunities for our

passengers and our business – it has been a

very enjoyable and fruitful journey so far with

more to come.

Nick Woods

CIO

Manchester Airports Group (MAG)

Veovo’s commitment to long term partnerships
with customers is evident in the major airport

system upgrades launched this year for

customers like Auckland, Montreal, Cairns, Bristol,

Finland’s Finavia and Christchurch. We continue

to have incredible customer retention, with all

our major clients committing to our Generation

8 platform. We have also seen this customer

group embrace our wider product offering with

examples including Sydney Airport deciding

to replace their legacy billing system with our

Revenue Management platform this year. In

addition, several European and North American

airports are expanding their use of our people

flow technology beyond queue measurement to

“kerb to gate” and AI enhanced prediction.

Veovo’s influence also extends to industry

standards, as we actively participate in shaping

aviation’s future. As a member of the ACI World IT

Standing Committee, we collaborate with airport

CIOs to set benchmarks for innovation and in FY24

led the development of new guidelines for AI in

airport operations.

Looking to FY25, we remain committed to

advancing technologies that drive “Airport

4.0” and Total Airport Management, ensuring

airports operate more efficiently and deliver

exceptional passenger experiences. Our focused

developments in AI, machine learning, and cloud-

based solutions will keep Veovo at the forefront

of airport innovation, meeting the evolving needs

of our global customers.

With our new airport operations system,

we look forward to being able to take

advantage of Veovo’s developments in

artificial intelligence, machine learning


and automation.

Management Institute. Over 50 of our leaders

achieved their accreditations this year, and

40 more globally have signed up for our next

cohort. Leadership development is a purposeful

investment by Gentrack, and we look forward

to the first cohort in India participating in the

program this year.

Our global expansion allows us to offer global

career pathways, and this year we saw 10% of the

population promoted with examples of our people

relocating to new locations as a result.

19
Reward and recognition

We believe in reinvesting our success in our

people and continue to offer market-aligned

compensation, motivating variable reward with

performance bonuses available for all, and

long-term incentive share programs offered to

our top talent.

Through our peer-led recognition program, KUDOS,

we continue to celebrate our individuals for their

innovation, storytelling, excellence, collaboration

and positivity – with over 5,000 moments of

recognition celebrated this year.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

This year, we launched ‘GenUine’, our refreshed Equity,

Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy. Together, we are

committed to continue to power up our diverse teams

enabling an equitable and inclusive environment for all.

We achieve this as one team via the power of Allyship.

Our EDI strategy is commercially driven, innovative, and intentionally

simple in its design, with 4 key pathways:

Learning and Development: If you don’t understand, you cannot

be an Ally. There is a responsibility for all of us to learn, and GenUine

provides opportunities for us to come together and deepen our EDI

knowledge.

Global Programs: Our global strategic programs address different areas of focus within the

EDI space over time, shaped by the voice of our people. These programs are designed globally

and delivered locally.

Regional Initiatives: We recognise that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach for our diverse

population. Our global teams leverage our Allyship and GenUine frameworks to create local,

strategic EDI impacts through regional Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).

Finally, we have Staying GenUine – the voice of our people matters, and we believe in creating

shared strategies. Our annual survey and communications platform provides opportunities for

us to listen and ideate together as one diverse team.

Our culture is one where together, we enable our diverse teams to feel valued, included, and

empowered to succeed. Together, we are GenUine. Our people remain at the heart and start of

everything we do, ensuring a sustainable and successful organisation as a result. In the next

section, we explore how their contributions positively impact another of our company values

– Respect for our Planet.

Our commitment to respecting the planet is
supported by our global sustainability strategy.

Our strategy consists of four key pillars which

reach across our people, partners and product.

will strive to become the

centre of excellence for

sustainable innovation.

Enable our people
Our Global Sustainability Task Force (GSTF) is a

force multiplier, driving impactful action across the

globe. Together, the teams have delivered over 32

sustainability-centric events globally. Aligned with their

regional locations, we have seen a broad range of

sustainable initiatives undertaken, from; direct support of an

NGO in India, where our GSTF partnered with the Naam Foundation, through

to beach clean-ups, carbon reduction initiatives and a successful campaign

for the reduction of single use plastics in the UK, which received local

government endorsement and the participation of 56 local businesses.

To amplify the power of our people globally we utilise our dedicated

sustainability engagement platform, ‘Giki’, where individuals undertake

personal challenges to reduce carbon emissions, cut down on plastics, and

conserve water. Every small, sustainable action taken by our people, when

multiplied across the group, creates tangible benefits for the planet.

We have taken our commitment to sustainability a step further by

introducing a green incentive, through funding tree-planting initiatives. This

direct investment in biodiversity aids reforestation efforts in regions such as

Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Ethiopia. These projects go beyond

environmental impact; they support

local farmers and communities

by creating jobs and increasing

social value. We are pleased to

report that this year we funded

5,505 trees via Ecologi, our

tree planting partner.

Power through

partnerships

Our sustainability strategy recognises

the importance of collaboration with

our partners, customers and value chain.

Partnering on thought leadership as well

as undertaking shared change activities

and joint ventures to optimise our impact.

Within our value chain globally and locally we have

made significant progress in gathering data insights

to understand the impact of our value chain as well as

achieving meaningful change in waste reduction methods

and associated impact on our carbon footprint.

Develop and build cleantech

To achieve our vision to accelerate the world towards a net zero future we

have continued to provide technology leadership and products to enable our

energy and water retailers to modernise.

Our intent to be a leader in this space is further demonstrated by our

investment in Amber – a technology

company that enables customers

to maximise their use of green

energy and enhance the financial

returns from their use of solar,

batteries and electric vehicles.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Gentrack Group Limited - Report on the audit of the

financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Gentrack Group Limited (the “Company”) and its

subsidiaries (together the “Group”) on pages 27 to 43, which comprise the consolidated statement of

financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2024, and the c onsolidated statement of

comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of

cash flows for the year then ended of the Group, and the notes to the consolidated financial

statements including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 27 to 43 present fairly, in all

material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2024 and its

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

Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial

Reporting Standards.

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken

so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them

in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not

accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders,

as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our

responsibilities under those standards ar e

further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the

audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We are 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 we have fulfilled

our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Ernst & Young provides statutory filing services to Veovo A/S. Partners and employees of our firm

may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the

business of the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in

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

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

opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below,

our description of how our audit addressed th e matter is provided in that context.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

financial statements section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,

our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks

of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including

the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the

accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition – software implementation

Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The Group has reported revenues of $213 million.

Accounting for the portion of revenue related to

software implementation projects of $64 million

requires consideration of the inherent complexities of

software implementation projects and the use of

estimation. As a result, we consider this a key audit

matter.

Where implementation projects run over more than

one financial year, revenue for the year is recognised

based on their stage of completion using the

proportion of actual hours at the reporting date

compared to management estimates for total forecast

hours.

Accurate recording of this revenue is highly

dependent on:

►Detailed knowledge of individual

characteristics of a contract, including its

unique terms, knowledge of the software

and expected length of time to complete

contractual milestones;

►Ongoing adjustments to estimated hours to

complete implementation taking into

consideration changes in scope, estimated

timing and project delays; and

►Changes to total expected project revenue

for contract variation or additional billing

for changes in scope or additional hours

incurred.

Disclosures in relation to the Group’s revenue are

included in note 3.2 to the consolidated financial

statements.

In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we:

►selected a sample of implementation projects

focusing on projects that were in progress at

balance date. For the projects selected, where

relevant, we:

►assessed whether revenue recognised was

consistent with contractual terms and NZ

IFRS 15, including any allocations of

contract revenue between initial license

fee, design and implementation, and

maintenance phases of the contracts;

►obtained the project status reports as at 30

September 2024 and considered whether

the project manager had performed a

review to ensure actual hours reflect work

performed to date and forecast hours

reflect current expectations;

►recalculated revenue to date based on

actual hours incurred as a percentage of

total forecast hours to ensure revenue was

recognised in line with the project

manager’s estimate; and

►assessed the forecast hours to complete

and project status through discussion with

project managers and senior management,

and challenged significant changes in total

forecast hours post year end to understand

if these should have been reflected in the

forecast as of the year end

►assessed appropriateness of the deferred

revenue balance at year end by reference to the

percentage of completion of implementation

projects; and

►considered the adequacy of the associated

disclosures in the financial statements.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other

than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report which is expected to be made available

to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do

not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 9

The Directors are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year that present fairly the financial

position of Gentrack Group and its operations and cash flows for that period.

The Directors consider these financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies suitable to Gentrack

Group’s circumstances, which have been consistently applied and supported by reasonable judgements and

estimates, and that all relevant financial reporting and accounting standards have been followed.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any

time, the financial position of Gentrack Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with

the Companies Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of Gentrack Group and hence for

taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Board of Directors of Gentrack Group authorised these financial statements for issue on 25 November 2024.

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors:

Andy Green Fiona Oliver

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

other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent

with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise

appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are

required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and, if uncorrected, to take

appropriate action to bring the matter to the attention of users for whom our auditor’s report was

prepared.

Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the

consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal

control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on

behalf of the entity the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to

issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,

but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing

(New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from

fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated

financial statements.

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

located at the External Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-

practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s

report.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Grant Taylor.

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 15


GENERAL INFORMATION


ACCOUNTING POLICES CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS


GENERAL INFORMATION

The notes are consolidated into nine sections. Each section contains an introduction and general information

which is indicated by the symbol above. The layout of these financial statements has been streamlined to

present them in a way that is more intuitive for readers to follow. This is achieved by laying out the accounting policies

and critical judgements alongside the notes and focusing information in a way which provides increased clarity and

ease of understanding.

The first section details general information about Gentrack Group and guidance on how to navigate through the

financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out

throughout the document where they are applicable. These policies have been consistently applied to all

the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Accounting policies are identified by this symbol above.

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS

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

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually

evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue, and

expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on various other

factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying

values for assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from

these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the

financial position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these critical judgements and estimates may be found throughout the financial

statements as they are applicable and are identified by this symbol.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 16

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This section outlines the legislation and accounting standards which have been followed in the preparation of

the financial statements along with explaining how the information has been consolidated and presented

.

2.1 KEY LEGISLATION AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The financial statements of Gentrack Group have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-oriented

entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Gentrack Group is a FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013 and is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013.

2.2 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are entities over which Gentrack Group has control. Gentrack Group controls an entity when it is exposed

to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power

over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are considered. Subsidiaries

are fully consolidated from the date that control is transferred to Gentrack Group. They are deconsolidated from the

date that control ceases.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted

by Gentrack Group.

Intra-group balances and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are fully

eliminated in preparing the financial statements.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Items included in the financial statements of each of Gentrack Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the

primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are

presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD) which is Gentrack Group’s presentation currency. All financial information

has been presented rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) in the financial statements.

TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the

dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and

from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE (FCTR)

Gentrack Group translates the results of its foreign operations from their functional currencies to the presentation

currency using the closing exchange rate at balance date for assets and liabilities and the average monthly exchange

rates for income and expenses. The difference arising from the translation of the statement of financial position at the

closing rates and the statement of comprehensive income at the average rates is recorded within the foreign currency

translation reserve within the statement of changes in equity.

2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on

which control is transferred to Gentrack Group. Control is the exposure or right to variable returns from involvement with

the entity and the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.

Gentrack Group recognises the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquired

business. Goodwill is measured as the excess cost of the acquisition over the recognised assets and liabilities. When

the excess is negative (negative goodwill), the amount is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive

income.

2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

Gentrack Group has not made any acquisitions during the year ended 30 September 2024 or 2023. For details of

acquisitions made in prior years refer to the 2018 Annual Report.

2.4 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES

An associate is an entity over which Gentrack Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to

participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those

policies.

On January 31, 2024, Gentrack Group finalised a subscription deed, obtaining a 10% stake in Amber Holding

Corporation Pty Limited (Amber). Amber’s primary business activities are software sales and energy retail. The Group

has a seat on Amber’s Board. According to NZ IAS 28 Investment in Associates , Gentrack’s presence on Amber’s

Board signifies the existence of Gentrack’s significant influence over Amber, leading Gentrack Group to use of the

equity method of accounting for its interest in Amber in the consolidated financial statements.

Amber’s financial year ends in June. To align with Gentrack Group’s financial reporting, Amber's financial statements

are adjusted to match the corresponding reporting period. The accounting policies of Amber are consistent with

Gentrack Group's policies. As a result, no additional adjustments are required when recognising and measuring

Gentrack Group’s share of Amber's profit or loss after the acquisition date.

2.6 IMPACT OF STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

The External Reporting Board has issued NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, FRS 44

Disclosure of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services, as well as amendments to existing international accounting standards.

Gentrack Group will adopt NZ IFRS 18 and FRS 44 when mandatory and does not expect NZ IFRS 18 and FRS 44 to

have a material impact on its financial statements.

There were no other new effective standards adopted on 1 October 2023 that had a material impact on the financial

statements.


3. GROUP PERFORMANCE

This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial performance by building on the information

presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

3.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue

and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to

make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete

financial information is available. Operating segments are aggregated for disclosure purposes where they have

similar products and services, production processes, customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments.

Gentrack Group currently operates in two business segments, utility billing software and airport management

software. Consistent with prior years, Gentrack Group’s corporate costs are included in the utility segment.

These segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Board (Chief Operating

Decision Maker) to make strategic decisions.

In the table below we split the revenues between point in time and over time recognition: Over time recognition is

when the fulfilment of our obligation to provide goods and services and the customer’s ability to obtain the benefit

from that occurs continuously over a period of time. Point in time recognition is where that happens at a point in time.

Revenue recognised over time include annual fees, support services and project revenues recognised over the stages

of completion. Revenue recognised at a point in time includes the part of our managed services revenue which is

recognised when the customer benefits have been confirmed and, within our airport segment (also referred to as the

Veovo business) hardware sales included as part of the implementation of a project.

The assets and liabilities of Gentrack Group are reported to and reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in

total and are not allocated by business segment. Therefore, operating segment assets and liabilities are not

disclosed

3.2 OPERATING REVENUE

Gentrack Group recognises revenue from customers when the performance obligation has been

accomplished. A performance obligation is accomplished when the customer has received all the benefits

promised under the performance obligation. The following sections detail the type of revenue recognised

within each category.

Revenue recognition involves certain revenue streams being recognised based on the stage of completion.

This process uses estimations of time required to complete the project and is based on detailed information

on hours worked to date, prior experience, and project scheduling tools. Gentrack Group employs project

managers to provide regular information to management on the progress of all projects. All estimates are reviewed

by management prior to revenue recognition.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from services in progress and are reclassified to trade

receivables on stage of completion. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessments.

Contract liabilities are recognised if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer

before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the

Group performs under the contract.

Contract assets and contract liabilities typically are recognised as trade receivables and revenue (respectively) within

a 12-month period.

ANNUAL FEES

Annual fees include software support and maintenance charged on software licenses and software subscriptions.

Revenue from annual fees is generally recognised over the period the benefits are consumed by the customer.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Support services are post implementation value-add professional services related to ongoing upgrades, minor

software revisions and extended support. Support services revenue is recognised when the service is complete or on

a stage of completion basis.

LICENSES

Revenue from license fees is recognised when the customer can benefit from the licensed software. License fees that

are highly interrelated with project services are recognised based on a stage of completion of the project.

PROJECT SERVICES

Revenue from project services is recognised based on the stage of completion of the project. This is typically in

accordance with the achievement of contract milestones and/or hours expended and forecast hours to complete the

project.

MANAGED SERVICES

Managed Services includes revenues where Gentrack uses its own software and expertise, on behalf of customers, to

deliver either improvements in the energy reconciliation process or supporting customers with billing and

operational back-office processes. Revenue is recognised when the service is complete or over the period that the

benefits are consumed by the customer.

OTHER

Other revenue is primarily revenue from hardware and the recharge of ad-hoc costs that are recharged to customers.

Revenue from hardware sales is recognised when the hardware has been delivered to the customer.

3.3 OTHER INCOME

GOVERNMENT

GRANTS

Government grants including certain types of credits receivable from tax authorities are recognised at their

fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and Gentrack Group will

comply with all attached conditions. When a grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over

the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

Included as other income in the statement of comprehensive income during the financial year are amounts expected

to be received from the UK tax authorities as a credit against UK corporation tax in the form of Research and

Development Expenditure Credits (RDEC) to compensate for eligible research and development activities performed

in the United Kingdom.

4.3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term and

highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.



Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for

varying periods of between one day and three months, depending on the immediate cash requirements of Gentrack

Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

5. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial position by building on information

presented in the statement of financial position.

5.1. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Gentrack Group recognises trade and other receivables initially at fair value and subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. An impairment provision

for trade receivables and contract assets consists of the expected credit loss in accordance with NZ IFRS 9

Financial Instruments and a specific provision.

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair

value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in

accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the

Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on trade receivables and

contract assets net of specific provisions applying lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a

provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to

the debtors and the economic environment.

A specific provision is established when there is forward looking evidence that Gentrack Group will not be able to

collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced

using provision accounts, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit and loss. When a receivable is

uncollectible, it is written off against the specific impairment provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts

previously written off are credited against the profit and loss.




*Financial year 2023 has been updated to separate contract assets related balance from volume discounts.

MOVEMENT

IN TRADE RECEIVABLES IMPAIRMENT PROVISION



Most of the impairment provision is reflective of B2C energy suppliers in the United Kingdom that went into

administration during 2022 and 2021.

The expected credit loss provision for trade receivables has been measured using the same techniques as the prior

year, determined as follows.


5.2 GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable

assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to

cash-generating units (CGU) and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment.

5.3 IMPAIRMENT TESTING

IMPAIRMENT

TESTING OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS

At each reporting date, Gentrack Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be

impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, Gentrack Group makes a formal estimate of the

recoverable amount. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is

considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value

less costs to sell or the asset’s value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the

lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other

than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting

date.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax

discount rate that reflects the current market assessments and the time value of money and the risks specific to the

asset. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated by each CGU. Cash flows were

projected based on five-year business plans. Financial year 2024 Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is an

average of the latest rates used by the analysts that cover Gentrack (2023 WACC was based on CAPM methodology

using market specific inputs). The WACC for each CGU is reviewed at least annually.

Gentrack Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment or more often as required, in

accordance with the accounting policy stated above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have

been determined based on value in use calculations. In preparing the five-year forecasts, management has reviewed

the assumptions and weighed up the information available at the time to ensure the forecasts are appropriate given

the CGU’s position and the prevailing market conditions. The WACC and terminal growth rates used in these

calculations are set out in the table below:


IMPAIRMENT

TESTING RESULTS

The calculations confirmed there was no impairment of goodwill during the year for the Utilities or Veovo CGU’s.

For the Utilities business the key assumption is the CAGR of revenue across the five-year period commencing 1st

October 2024. Under management’s projections this would need to drop below 0% for the recoverable amount to be

less than the carrying value of the Utilities CGU. Management’s projections, under all scenarios, project a CAGR

comfortably above this and this compares to growth in revenue in FY24 for the Utilities business of 22.6% (2023:

36.7%).

For the Veovo business, the carrying value of the CGU is below the annual cashflow being generated by this business

and so the assessment is not sensitive to changes in assumptions in management’s projections.

Management believes that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions for either CGU would not cause

the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.

5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS


CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT

Costs that are directly associated with the development of software are recognised as intangible assets

where the following criteria are met:


it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use.


management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it.


there is an ability to use or sell the software product.


it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits.


adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software

product are available; and


the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Software development costs that meet the above criteria are capitalised. Other development expenditure that does not

meet the above criteria is recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses

are not recognised as assets in a subsequent period. Software development costs recognised as assets are amortised

over their estimated useful lives.

BRANDS

Brands acquired are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are held at cost and are not amortised but are subject

to an annual impairment test consistent with the methodology outlined for goodwill above.

OTHER

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets consist of internal use software, acquired source code, trade-marks, and customer relationships.

They have finite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment

losses.

AMORTISATION

Except for goodwill and brands, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in the statement of

comprehensive income over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use.

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


Acquired source code 10 years


Internal use software 3 years


Customer relationships 10 years


Trademarks 4 years


Capitalised development 5 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if

appropriate. No changes were made to useful lives and residual values during financial year 2024. Acquired source

code and internal use software are categorised as software in the below table.

5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)


5.5 PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

In the statement of financial position property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less

depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their original

costs and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:


Furniture & equipment 7 years


Computer equipment 3 to 7 years


Leasehold improvements Term of lease

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is

greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are recognised in

the statement of comprehensive income.

5.8 INVENTORY

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

method and includes expenditure incurred to purchase the inventory and transport it to its current location.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price of the inventory in the ordinary course of business less costs

necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories consumed during the year are recognised as an expense

and included in expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income.

6. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

This section outlines Gentrack Group’s capital structure and details of share-based employee

incentives which have an impact on Gentrack Group’s equity.

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

share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Where any Gentrack Group

company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid is deducted

from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are transferred outside the Gentrack Group.

Ordinary shares are fully paid and have no par value. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as

declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company and rank equally with

regard to the Company’s residual assets.

6.1 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The capital structure of Gentrack Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the parent

company.

Gentrack Group manages its capital to ensure that companies in the Group can continue as a going concern.

Gentrack Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.



During 2024 1,667,850 performance rights (2023: 1,251,422) in relation to the Long Term Incentive Schemes vested,

resulting in the same number of new shares being issued. Also 24,358 (2023: 68,737) shares were issued as part

payment of Gentrack Group Directors fees.

6.2 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Gentrack Group operates equity settled, share-based payments schemes under which it receives services

from employees, as consideration for equity instruments of Gentrack Group. A valuation is completed for

each scheme at the grant date to estimate the fair value of the performance rights granted. Management also

makes estimates about the number of performance rights that are expected to vest which determines the expense

recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

The shared based payments were introduced is to retain, attract, incentivise and align employees with

shareholder and Company objectives.

6.2 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

Gentrack Group operated the follow three share schemes during the year:

- Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive Scheme

o At the Special Shareholders meeting, held on 9th October 2023, shareholders approved the issue

of up to 9,437,000 performance rights in total for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and senior

management under the Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive Scheme in respect of the financial

years ending 30 September 2024, 2025, and 2026. These performance rights are subject to tenure

and achieving both Earnings Per Share (EPS) and share price appreciation hurdles. The EPS hurdle

is set at fixed rates for each vesting year and for the share price appreciation hurdle an incremental

vesting scale applies for performance rights eligible to vest.

Effective financial year 2024, for ease of reference, this new senior leadership scheme, the CEO and

Senior Leadership performance rights granted after 1 October 2023, are categorised as the Executive

Leadership LTI Scheme.


o For Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive grants made in prior years, performance rights are

subject to a combination of tenure and the EPS hurdle, split evenly and that will vest after 18 months

and three years respectively, dependent on achievement of the period of service and EPS

performance hurdle.


- Gentrack Long Term Incentive Scheme – This scheme is for selected key employees who are not part of the

senior leadership long term incentive scheme. The performance rights vesting under this scheme are

subject to the participants continuing to be employed by Gentrack Group at the end of the vesting period.


- CEO Long Term Incentive Scheme

– This scheme was introduced in 2020 for the CEO and the final grant under

this scheme was made in October 2022. The 2021 and 2022 awards are yet to fully vest. The remaining

performance rights under this scheme are subject to a combination of tenure and share price appreciation

hurdles.


For accounting purposes, the fair valuation of the schemes are as follows:

- Executive Leadership LTI Scheme - under this grant a weighted estimate of the number of shares expected

to vest is made based on the probability of each share price appreciation hurdle being met at each vesting

date. These probabilities have been derived by considering the published guidance (available at the date

each grant is awarded) of market analysts over Gentrack’s share price and future growth. The weighted

estimate assumes an 80% probability that the share price reached at vesting dates lies within the range


created using this guidance. However, varying this assumption by 5% up or down does not significantly

affect the accounting charge derived from this valuation model.


- All other schemes - the fair value of the performance rights is determined at the grant date using the Black

Scholes valuation method.

The fair value of the performance rights is recorded as an expense in the profit or loss over the vesting period, based

on Gentrack Group’s estimate of the number of performance rights that will vest, with a corresponding entry to the

share-based payment reserve within equity. During the year ended 30 September 2024 $10.2m has been recognised

in the profit or loss (2023: $5.3m).

During the financial year 2024, $Nil dividends were paid (2023: $Nil).


6.4 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Gentrack Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is

calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted

average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year, excluding shares purchased and held as treasury

shares.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average

number of ordinary shares on issue for the effects of the dilutive impact of potential ordinary shares, which comprise

performance share rights granted to employees.

Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease

EPS or increase the profit per share.

7. TAX

7.1 INCOME TAX EXPENSE


In the statement of comprehensive income, the income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.

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

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

Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends

.


RECONCILIATION OF INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The relationship between the expected income tax expense based on the domestic effective tax rate of Gentrack

Group at 28% (2023: 28%) and the reported tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income can be

reconciled as follows

:



*Amortisation related to intangibles created on acquisition are non-deductible for tax purposes. The intangibles

amortisation and related deferred tax are amortised over 10 years.

7.2 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted

by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the

deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred

income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Gentrack Group

and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied

by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different entities where there is an intention to

settle the balance on a net basis.

Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised while the liability to

pay the related dividend is recognised. Gentrack Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its

shareholders.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable

that the related benefits will be realised.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available

against which temporary differences can be utilised. Management applies judgement when reviewing

current business plans and forecasts to ascertain the likelihood of future taxable profits.

The movement in temporary differences has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax

has been recognised at a rate at which they are expected to be realised:25% for United Kingdom entities, 28% for New

Zealand entities, 30% for Australian entities, 22% for Denmark entities, 21% for US entities, 17% for Singapore entity

and 25% for India.

8. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Gentrack Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks which include foreign currency risk,

commodity price risk and interest risk. This section details each of these financial risks and how they are

managed by Gentrack Group.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Gentrack Group’s risk

management framework. Gentrack Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse

(amongst other risks) the financial risks faced by Gentrack Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls,

and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect

changes in market conditions and Gentrack Group’s activities.

8.1 CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Gentrack Group if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to

meet its contractual obligations, and it arises principally from Gentrack Group’s trade receivables from customers in the

normal course of business.

Gentrack Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.

The credit worthiness of a customer or counter party is determined by several qualitative and quantitative

factors. Qualitative factors include external credit ratings (where available), payment history and strategic

importance of customer or counter party. Quantitative factors include transaction size, net assets of customer or counter

party, and ratio analysis on liquidity, cash flow and profitability.

In relation to trade receivables and contract assets, it is Gentrack Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on

terms are subject to credit verification on an ongoing basis with the intention of minimising bad debts. The nature of

Gentrack Group’s trade receivables is represented by regular turnover of product and billing of customers based on the

contractual payment terms.

Gentrack Group has an impairment provision that represents its estimate of future incurred losses in respect of trade and

other receivables. The impairment provision consists of the expected credit loss provision in accordance with NZ IFRS

9 and a specific doubtful debt provision is used where there is internal and external evidence that indicates a trade

receivable is impaired.

The carrying amount of Gentrack Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure as summarised in

the table below:

8.1 CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)


*Current includes contract assets.

Gentrack Group’s trade receivables and contract assets are not exposed to any significant credit exposure to any

single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables and contract assets

consist of several customers in various geographical areas. Based on historic information about customer default

rates, management considers the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.

Sundry receivable and prepayments comprise of prepaid expenses and lease bonds that do not carry credit risk.

As at 30 September 2024 there are no significant concentrations of credit risk for financial assets designated as at

amortised cost or at fair value. The carrying amount reflects Gentrack Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for

these financial assets.

Judgement has been applied to the recovery of all trade receivables and contract assets, with management

confirming that all carrying amounts are deemed to be recoverable and not impaired.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible since the counterparties are highly reputable

financial intuitions with high quality external credit ratings.

8.2 MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect

Gentrack Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk

management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the

return on risk.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Gentrack Group is exposed to currency risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the

functional currency of Gentrack Group (NZD), primarily the following currencies Australian Dollar (AUD), Pound

Sterling (GBP), EURO (EUR), US Dollar (USD), Singaporean Dollars (SGD), Indian Rupees (INR), Saudi Arabia (SAR) and

Danish Kroner (DKK). Trade in INR were not significant for disclosure.

Gentrack Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows (all amounts are

denominated in New Zealand Dollars):

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 40

8.2 MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)

The following table summarises the sensitivity of other comprehensive income and equity with regards to Gentrack

Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities affected by AUD/NZD exchange rate, the GBP/NZD exchange rate, the

EUR/NZD exchange rate, the USD/NZD exchange rate, and the DKK/NZD exchange rate with all other aspects being

equal. It assumes a +/-10% change in the NZD to the currency exchange rate for the year ended 30 September 2024

(2023: 10%). These +/-10% sensitivities have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange

rates in the preceding 12 months.


Gentrack Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rates varies during the year depending on the volume of foreign

currency transactions. Even so, the analysis above is representative of Gentrack Group’s exposure to market risk.

8.3 LIQUIDITY RISK


Liquidity risk is the risk that Gentrack Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they

become due and payable. Gentrack Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it

will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they become due and payable, under both normal and

stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to Gentrack Group’s reputation.

Gentrack Group has sufficient cash to meet its requirements in the foreseeable future.

The following table details Gentrack Group’s contractual maturities of financial liabilities, as at the reporting date:

GENTRACK FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 41

8.4 INTEREST RATE RISK

Gentrack Group’s interest rate risk primarily arises from short term bank borrowing, cash, and advances from related

parties. Borrowings and deposits at variable interest rates expose Gentrack Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

Borrowings and deposits at fixed rates expose Gentrack Group to fair value interest rate risk.

The following tables detail the current interest rate of the interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities and interest

rate repricing profile.




8.5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Gentrack Group’s financial assets are measured at amortised cost. Gentrack Group’s financial assets are held

within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset to collect contractual cash flows and the

financial asset gives rise to contractual cash flows on specified dates that are payments of principal and

interest on the principal outstanding.

Gentrack Group’s financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

Gentrack Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised as follows:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and on hand and the carrying amount is equivalent to fair value.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

These assets are short term in nature and are reviewed for impairment; the carrying value approximates their fair value.

TRADE PAYABLES

These liabilities are mainly short term in nature with the carrying value approximating the fair value.

FAIR VALUES

Gentrack Group’s financial instruments that are measured after initial recognition at fair values are grouped into levels

based on the degree to which their fair value is observable:

 Level 1 – fair value measurements derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 Level 2 – fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are

observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability

which are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between levels or changes in the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of

Gentrack Group’s financial instruments during the period. As at 30 September 2024 Gentrack Group has no level 3

financial instruments (2023: $Nil).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY


9. OTHER INFORMATION

9.1 LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

RECOGNITION

AND MEASUREMENT OF GENTRACK GROUP LEASING ACTIVITIES

Gentrack Group predominantly leases property for fixed periods of 1-12 years and may have extension

options. These extension options are usually at the discretion of Gentrack Group and are included in the

measurement of the lease asset if management intends to exercise the extension. Lease terms are negotiated

on an individual basis and contain a variety of terms and conditions. However, these lease agreements do not impose

any covenants. Lease amendments relate to short-term lease extensions.

Leases are recognised as a right of use asset (lease asset) and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the

leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance

cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s

useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the

net present value of the following lease payments:

• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate

• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee

would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic

environment with similar terms and conditions.

Lease assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

• any initial direct costs, and

• restoration costs.

Key movements related to the lease assets and lease liabilities are presented below:

Corporate governance

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE





The Board recognises the importance of good corporate governance, particularly its role in delivering improved corporate

performance and protecting the interests of all stakeholders.


The Board is responsible for establishing and implementing the Company’s corporate governance frameworks and is committed to

fulfilling this role in accordance with best practice while observing applicable laws, and NZX Corporate Governance guidance.


This section sets out the Company’s commitment to good corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with the

eight fundamental principles of the NZX Corporate Governance Code, 1 April 2023 edition (NZX Code). The Company considers that

it has been in compliance with the recommendations of the NZX Code during the FY24 financial year.


The Company’s Constitution, the Charters and most of the policies referred to in this Corporate Governance Statement are

available on the Company’s website www.gentrack.com (“Company Website”) in the Governance and Charters section of the

Investor Centre.


This corporate governance statement is current as at 20 December 2024 and has been approved by the Board.


PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS

Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour, and hold management accountable for these

standards being followed throughout the organisation.


The Board maintains high standards of ethical conduct and the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for ensuring that high

standards of conduct are maintained by all staff and for managing any breaches of these standards. The Board has adopted a

“Code of Ethics”, a copy of which is available in the Investor Centre section of the Company’s website. New employees are

familiarised with the Company’s standards for conduct on commencing work with the Company and when any material

changes are made to the policy.


The Board is the overall and final body responsible for all decision making within the Company, with the core objective of

representing and promoting the interests of

shareholders by adding long-term value to the Company.


The Company has a Share Trading Policy for the approval of all share purchases and sales by key management personnel, and

Directors. A copy of this policy is available in the Investor Centre section of the Company’s website.


The Company undertakes appropriate checks of prospective Directors prior to putting forward a candidate for election and

provides material information in its possession relevant to such a decision to security holders.


PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE

To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE




BOARD CHARTER

This describes the Board’s role and responsibilities and regulates internal Board procedures; a copy of this document is available

in the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website.


The Board directs, and supervises the management of the business affairs of the Company including, in particular:


• ensuring that the Company’s goals are clearly established, and that strategies and resources are in place for achieving

them;

• ensuring that there is an ongoing review of performance against the Company’s strategic objectives;

• approving transactions relating to acquisitions and divestments and capital expenditure above delegated

authority limits;

• ensuring that there is an ongoing assessment of business risks and that there are appropriate control and

accountability systems in place to manage them;

• monitoring the performance of management and overseeing company-wide remuneration, employment and health

and safety practices;

• appointing the Chief Executive Officer, setting the terms of their employment and, where necessary, terminating their

employment;

• approving and monitoring the Company’s financial and other reporting and ensuring the Company’s financial

statements represent a true and fair view; and

• setting the dividend policy.


NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT

The procedures for the appointment and removal of Directors are ultimately governed by the Company’s Constitution.

The Board has established a People and Culture Committee whose role is to, amongst other things, identify and

recommend to the Board individuals for nomination as members of the Board and its Committees, taking into account

such factors as it deems appropriate, including experience, qualifications, judgement and the ability to work with other

Directors.


COMPOSITION OF BOARD

As at 30 September 2024 the Board comprised six Directors, as follows:


DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT DATE

Andy Green (Non-executive Chair) 2 November 2020

Stewart Sherriff (Non-executive Director) 5 October 2020

Gary Miles (Managing Director) 1 October 2020

Fiona Oliver (Non-executive Director) 26 February 2019

Darc Rasmussen (Non-executive Director) 12 December 2019

Gillian Watson (Non-executive Director) 1 June 2024


Since the date of appointment, Directors have been re-appointed at Annual Meetings when retiring by rotation as required.


Nick Luckock ceased to hold office on 28 February 2024, during the accounting period. Following Nick Luckock’s resignation, the Board

composition was reviewed and Gillian Watson, a female Board member, was appointed to the Board on 1 June 2024.


Profiles of each current Director are available in the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website.

The Company has written agreements with each Board member establishing the terms of their appointment.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE




DELEGATION

To enhance efficiency, the Board has delegated some of its powers to Board Committees and other powers to the Chief

Executive Officer. The terms of the delegation by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer are documented in the Board

Charter and more clearly set out in the Company’s Delegated Authority Framework. This framework also establishes the

authority levels for decision-making within the Company’s management team.


DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board Charter requires that at least 50% of Directors be “independent”. The Board takes into account the guidance provided under

the NZX Listing Rules in determining the independence of Directors.


The Board will review any determination it makes as to a Director’s independence on becoming aware of any information

that may have an impact on the independence of the Director. For this purpose, Directors are required to ensure that they

immediately advise the Board of any relevant new or changed relationships to enable the Board to consider and determine

the materiality of the relationships.


The Board considers that Andy Green, Stewart Sherriff, Fiona Oliver, Darc Rasmussen and Gillian Watson are independent

Directors in that they are not executives of the Company and do not have a direct or indirect interest or relationship that could

reasonably influence (or be perceived to influence), in a material way, their decisions in relation to the Company. None of the

factors set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code that may cause a Board to determine that a director is not independent

apply to these Directors.


Gary Miles is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is not considered to be an independent director.


SELECTION AND ROLE OF CHAIR

The Chair of the Board is elected by the non-executive Directors. The Board supports the separation of the role of Chair and

Chief Executive Officer. The Chair’s role is to manage the Board effectively, to provide leadership to the Board, and to facilitate

the Board’s

relationship with the Chief Executive Officer.


Andy Green was appointed by the Board as Chair on 2 November 2020. As noted above, Andy Green is an independent

Director. Andy brings transformation and technology leadership to the role of the Company Chair. In 2020 he was awarded

Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for his contributions to the Information Technology and British Space Industries. His

passion to transform the industry to support sustainable water and energy resources is further demonstrated by his roles as the

Chair of WaterAid UK and as a UK National Infrastructure Commissioner. Andy spends his time in both Australia and the UK

which contributes both a local presence and global perspective to the Company’s customers and shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE




DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY

The Company continues to promote all forms of diversity with a Diversity and Inclusion policy that is available in the

Investor Centre on the Company’s website and a Company strategy focused on promoting diversity, ensuring equity and

fostering inclusion. The Company recognises that building a diverse and inclusive workplace culture will result in enhanced

relationships with stakeholders, better customer service, improved financial performance and a stronger corporate reputation.

A global Equity, Diversity and Inclusion survey was carried out in February 2024 to collect demographics of the Company

internationally and capture people’s current sentiment toward the Company culture to inform a strategic response. Details of

our approach can be found in the People section on page 19 of this Annual Report. The Board considers that for the year ended

30 September 2024, the objectives for achieving diversity have been met.


At 30 September 2024, the gender breakdown for the Company (and its wholly owned subsidiaries) was as follows:

These figures include permanent full-time, permanent part-time and fixed-term employees, but not independent

The Company recruits for predominantly technology roles.


DIRECTOR EDUCATION

All Directors are responsible for ensuring they remain current in understanding their duties as Directors. The Board encourages

Directors to undertake appropriate training to enable them to remain current on how best to discharge their responsibilities

and keep up to date on changes and trends in areas relevant to their work. Directors are provided with industry information

and receive copies of appropriate Company documents to enable them to perform their role. In addition, briefings from

senior management and key advisors to the Company are arranged for Directors.


RETIREMENT AND RE-ELECTION

The Board acknowledges and observes the relevant Director rotation/retirement rules under the NZX Listing Rules.


DIRECTORS’ SHARE OWNERSHIP

The table of Directors’ shareholdings is included in the Disclosures section of this Annual Report.


INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE

Deeds of Indemnity have been granted by the Company in favour of the Directors in relation to potential liabilities and costs

Directors and employees in their capacity as such.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



BOARD MEETINGS

The Board has a standard schedule which includes a minimum of six meetings per annum. In addition, other Board meetings

are held as needed to deal with specific matters such as acquisition-related activity. In the year ended 30 September 2024

there were nine Board meetings in total. There were also separate meetings of the Board Committees. Directors receive

detailed information in Board papers to facilitate decision making. At each meeting the Board considers key financial and

operational information as well as matters of strategic importance.


Executives regularly attend Board meetings and are also available to be contacted by Directors between meetings. Directors

who are not members of the Committees are invited to attend all meetings of the Committees.

responsibilities it particularly requires competencies in the following areas: industry knowledge, technology and digital,

software, cloud, online and operating platforms, customer focus, strategy and development, financial acumen, risk,

governance, environmental and social, people and culture, and executive leadership. The Board skills matrix is set out

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING & DISCLOSURE

The Board should demand integrity in financial and non -financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate

disclosures.


The Company is committed to maintaining a fully informed market through effective communication with the NZX and ASX,

the Company’s shareholders, analysts, media and other interested parties. The Company provides all stakeholders with

equal and timely access to material information that is accurate, balanced, meaningful and consistent.


The Board has adopted a Market Disclosure Policy and a Shareholder Communications Policy, copies of which are available in

the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website. The Policies have been communicated internally to ensure that they are

strictly adhered to by the Board and the Company’s employees. The Company has been listed on the NZX Main Board and the

ASX since 25 June 2014 and has at all times complied with its continuous disclosure obligations.


Directors consider at each Board meeting whether there is any material information which should be disclosed to the

market.


The “Code of Ethics”, Board Committee Charters and other key governance documents are available in the Investor Centre section

of the Company’s website.


The Company is a climate-reporting entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial year ending 30 September

2024 is Gentrack’s first reporting period under the Climate-Related Disclosures regime and is included in this report at page 54.


PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION

The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.


The Board has a People and Culture Committee, comprising Gillian Watson (Chair), Fiona Oliver, Andy Green (ex-officio), and

Stewart Sherriff. Gillian Watson has taken over the role of Chair of the People and Culture Committee from Fiona Oliver from

1 October 2024. Fiona Oliver remains a member of this Committee. One of this Committee’s principal functions is to oversee

the remuneration strategies and policies of the Company. The People and Culture Committee is governed by a formal

charter, a copy of which is available in the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website.


The Remuneration Policy Statement is available in the Investor Centre section

of the Company’s website.


DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

The Company distinguishes the structure of non-executive Directors’ remuneration from that of executive Directors. Total

Directors’ fees are currently set at a maximum of $800,000 per annum for the non-executive Directors. The actual amount of fees

paid in the past year was $684,132.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



CEO REMUNERATION

Gary Miles’ salary is structured as follows:


Fixed Base Salary

For FY24 Gary has a Fixed Base Salary of GBP£403,000 per annum (FY23 GBP£403,000 per annum), exclusive of pension

contributions of 4% of base salary and reviewable at the Board’s discretion annually after the release of the full year results.


Annual Incentive Plan

On target performance is eligible for an annual incentive payment of 100% of the fixed base salary. The actual annual

incentive payment (if any) is determined at the discretion of the Board after assessing the performance of the Company and

the performance of the CEO against performance targets and priorities agreed annually. For FY24, those performance targets

were based on a score card of measures incorporating financial performance against budget (60% of score card); employee

engagement and employee turnover (20% of score card); number of new customer wins (10% of score card) and technology

strategy (10% of score card). His short-term incentive payment for FY24 was GBP£413,000 (FY23 GBP£423,150).


Long Term Incentive

The CEO’s remuneration package includes the issue of performance rights that were approved at the Annual Meeting in

February 2021 and amended at the Annual Meeting in February 2023:


• an initial grant of 500,000 performance rights of which half vested immediately on the start of Gary’s employment and the

other half of which vested on 1 October 2021. The vesting of this initial grant of performance rights was not subject to

vesting conditions or performance hurdles.

• an annual grant of performance rights commencing in October 2020 that is calculated and vests in accordance with the

following:

• number of performance rights = Z /Y

• “Z” = Gary’s annual base pay, including pension contribution, converted into NZD and multiplied by 120%; and

• “Y” = the volume weighted average price of Gentrack’s shares over the 10-day trading period ending on the last trading

day immediately prior to the annual grant

• The first annual grant of performance rights vested on 1st October 2021 in accordance with the agreed criteria

• Subsequent annual performance rights vest one third each year over three years with half of rights eligible to vest each

year subject to Gentrack Group achieving certain performance hurdles and the other half of rights eligible to vest doing

so without reference to performance hurdles. The performance hurdles for the grant on 31

st

October 2021 are based on

the compound annual growth rate of Gentrack’s earnings per share as follows:

• below 7%, no performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;

• equal to 7%, 50% of performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;

• equal to or above 12%, all performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest; and

• between 7% and 12% performance rights will vest on a straight-line basis between 50% and 100%;

• The performance hurdle for the grant on 31

st

October 2022 is based on share price appreciation:

• below 7% no performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;

• equal to 7% 50% of performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest;

• equal to or above 10%, all performance rights subject to performance hurdles will vest; and

• between 7% and 10% performance, the percentage of performance rights to vest will be calculated on a straight-line

basis.


Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive Scheme


In addition, in FY24, Gary was granted 2,454,000 performance rights under the Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive scheme that was

approved by shareholders at a special meeting in October 2023. Of these performance rights, 926,892 vested in December 2024 in respect

of FY24.


An aggregate of up to 9,437,000 performance rights can be issued to Gary and other members of the senior management team selected by

the Board in respect of the financial years ending 30 September 2024, 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2026.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE





The details of the scheme can be reviewed in the Notice of Meeting from October 2023 in the Investor Centre section of the Gentrack

website. The key terms include:

• there are three potential vesting dates on which the performance rights may vest, depending on whether applicable performance

hurdles have been met. The potential vesting dates will be shortly after the release of Gentrack’s audited financial statements for the

financial years ending 30 September 2024, 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2026;

• the performance hurdles required to be met at each vesting date are an EPS hurdle for the respective financial year immediately prior to

the vesting date, a share price appreciation hurdle and continued employment with Gentrack;

• the EPS hurdle must be met for any performance rights to vest at the relevant vesting date (if that does not occur, it will not matter that

the share price appreciation hurdle has been met). The EPS hurdle is a defined number for each of the financial years ending 30

September 2024, 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2026.


The EPS hurdles for the respective financial years are as set out below:

• NZ$0.16 in respect of the financial year ending 30 September 2024;

• NZ$0.19 in respect of the financial year ending 30 September 2025; and

• NZ$0.22 in respect of the financial year ending 30 September 2026.


For these purposes EPS is that reported in Gentrack’s audited financial statements for the relevant financial year with adjustments made to

Net Profit After Tax to reflect:

• expensing amounts capitalised in the year (if any) in respect of research and development;

• adding back any amortisation of intangible assets;

• adding back the (non-cash) accounting charge for share based payments; and

• adjusting for the tax or deferred tax impact on the items set out above.


Where shares have been issued following vesting of the performance rights, issued in this tranche, or vesting is expected in respect of those

performance rights, those shares are also excluded from the calculation of EPS in respect of this hurdle.


Provided that the EPS hurdle is satisfied at the relevant vesting date, the share price appreciation hurdle determines how many (if any)

performance rights will vest at the relevant vesting date and in respect of the second and third vesting dates (if applicable), this takes into

account any performance rights that have vested at the preceding vesting date(s).


The share price used to assess the share price appreciation hurdle is to be calculated as the volume weighted average price of Gentrack’s

shares as quoted on the NZX Main Board and the ASX (including both on-market and off-market trades) over the ten trading days

immediately following the release of Gentrack’s audited financial statements for the financial year immediately prior to the relevant vesting

date (“VWAP share price”).


An incremental vesting scale applies should the VWAP share price used to assess the share price appreciation hurdle be between NZ$5.00

and NZ$10.00 with respect to a vesting date. Irrespective of the VWAP share price on the first vesting date, no more than 3,565,000

performance rights may vest on the first vesting date. When assessing how many (if any) performance rights will vest at the VWAP share

price on the second and third vesting dates, any performance rights that have vested on a previous vesting date would be deducted from the

number of performance rights to vest on that vesting date.


Except to the extent that additional shares are required to be sold to satisfy a participant’s tax liability, participants must retain at least 50%

of the Gentrack shares issued to them for 12 months following the relevant vesting date.


EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION


The Executive remuneration policy consists of an annual incentive plan (bonus scheme) based on fixed compensation for Executives

(excluding General Managers) and measured by the Company scorecard (performance targets are as set out above within details on CEO’s

remuneration). General Managers have aligned commission plans to drive revenue growth and achieve new customer wins. In addition, the

Executive team are eligible for a proportion of the Senior Leadership Long Term Incentive scheme approved by shareholders and summarised

above, with variable percentages according to role and individual performance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT

Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board

should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.


The Board is responsible for approving the risk framework to assist with identifying, assessing, and managing its risk. The Audit and Risk

Committee of the Board oversees this activity, monitoring the robustness of the systems and processes used to manage all strategic

business risks. Please see “Principle 7” below for further detail in relation to the Audit and Risk Committee.


The Company’s senior management maintain a Risk Register which is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and forms a key part of

the risk management framework. The Risk Register identifies and evaluates strategic risks, assesses their potential impact, the likelihood

they crystalise and sets out the main internal controls and actions to mitigate each risk. Individual senior managers are assigned to own

and manage these identified risks. In FY24, key risks reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee included risks inherent in technology

investments, expansion into new markets and maintaining high levels of staff engagement and retention as the Company grows strongly.

There was also continued focus on information security and cyber risk as well as the review of climate related risks and opportunities (a

summary of which is set out with the Company’s Climate Statement). The Company considers that it has a low exposure to economic risks,

because the sectors we serve are essential services that do not react significantly to economic cycles.


To support its commitment to Information Security Management, the Company is ISO/EC 27001:2022 certified. This is an

international standard which helps organisations manage and control information security. The Company also maintains a

Services Organisation Control “SOC2” Type I Standards in respect of the security and availability controls over applicable Gentrack

services which is then assessed by an independent third-party auditor. This attestation provides our customers with high level

assurance and confidence that Gentrack G2 internal controls are suitably designed and operating effectively.


The Company does not have an internal audit function, but through the steps outlined above the Board ensures the company is

reviewing, evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes.


Employees are required to adhere to health and safety compliance documents and instructions, in particular the Health and

Safety Policy.


The Board receives regular updates on business risk topics, such as health and safety and information security.








CORPORATE GOVERNANCE





PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS

The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.


The Board is committed to a transparent system for auditing and reporting of the Company’s financial performance. The Board

established an Audit and Risk Committee, which performs a central role in achieving this goal. The members of the Committee provide a

balance of independence, sector experience and relevant professional experience and qualifications.


The Audit and Risk Committee’s principal functions are:

• to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for the Company’s financial statements and external financial reporting;

• to assist the Board in ensuring that the ability and independence of the external auditors to carry out their statutory audit

role is not impaired, or could reasonably be perceived to be impaired;

• to assist the Board in ensuring appropriate accounting policies and internal controls are established and maintained; and

• to assist the Board in ensuring the efficient and effective management of all business risks.


One of the main purposes of the Audit and Risk Committee is to ensure the quality and independence of the audit process. The

Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and Chief Financial Officer work with the external auditors to plan the

audit approach. All

aspects of the audit are reported back to the Audit and Risk Committee and the auditors are given the opportunity at Audit and

Risk Committee meetings to meet with the Board.


The Audit and Risk Committee has adopted a formal Charter, a copy of which is available in the Investor Centre section on the

Company’s website. The Audit and Risk Committee meets regularly to identify risks and determine how to mitigate these. The

Company uses external contractors as required for specific audit reviews.



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE




The Company’s external auditors will attend the annual meeting and are available to answer questions relating to the conduct

of the external audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report. Details of the audit fees paid to EY and fees

paid to other auditors during FY24 are included in note 9.2 of the Financial Statements.


The Company does not have an internal audit function. Where required, such audit activity is conducted by third parties, not by the

Company’s external auditors.


PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS & RELATIONS

The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage

them to engage with the issuer.


The Company currently keeps shareholders informed through:


• the annual report;

• the half-year update;

• the annual meeting of shareholders;

• disclosure to the NZX and ASX in accordance with the Company’s Shareholder Communications Policy and Market Disclosure

Policy; and

• the Investor Centre section on the Company’s website.


The Company’s Shareholder Communications Policy and Market Disclosure Policy are designed to ensure that

communications with shareholders and all other stakeholders are managed efficiently. The Chair, Chief Executive Officer and

Chief Financial Officer are the points of contact for shareholders and analysts.


The Board considers the annual report to be an essential opportunity for communicating with shareholders. The company

publishes its results and reports electronically on the Company Website. Investors may also request a hard copy of the annual

report by contacting the Company’s share registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets. Contact details for the registrar appear at the

end of this report.


The Company considers the annual meeting to be a valuable element of its communications programme. The Chair will

provide an opportunity for shareholders to raise questions for their Board. The Chair may ask the Chief Executive Officer and

any relevant manager of the Company to assist in answering questions if required. As noted earlier, the Company’s external

auditors will also attend the annual meeting and are available to answer questions relating to the conduct of the external audit

and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.


The Company held a Special Meeting of shareholders on 10 October 2023 to consider changes to the Company’s senior

management incentive scheme. The Company gave less than 20 working days’ notice of the meeting in order to ensure that

the long-term incentive arrangements were in place as close as possible to the start of the FY24 financial year.


ENTRIES RECORDED IN THE INTERESTS REGISTER

The Company maintains an Interest Register in accordance with the Companies Act 1993. The following entries were made in

the Interests Register for the period 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024 and

require disclosure:


• Andy Green disclosed that he ceased to be a non-executive director of Link Administration Holdings (after it was acquired by

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking on 16 May 2024).

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

Details of the total remuneration of, and the value of other benefits received by, each Director of Gentrack Group Limited

during the financial year ended 30 September 2024 are as follows:



2024 2023

Andy Green 300,000* 300,000

Gillian Watson 35,590 -

TOTAL

684,132 665,000


*At the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company in February 2021, shareholders approved the Directors having a discretion to pay all or some of a

non-executive director’s remuneration through an issue of shares in the Company. For the 2022 financial year onward, it was agreed that the equity-based

component of Andy Green’s remuneration was set at one-third of his total annual remuneration (i.e., currently $100,000 per annum), to be satisfied

through the issue of shares in the Company.

Gary Miles’ CEO remuneration is disclosed under Principle 5 above. Gary does not receive additional remuneration for his role as an

executive Director of the Company.

Nick Luckock ceased to hold office on 28 February 2024, during the accounting period. Gillian Watson was appointed to the Board

on 1 June 2024 (during the accounting period) with director remuneration of GBP£50,000 per annum (approximately $104,500).

Following her appointment to the Board, the Board reviewed Director remuneration for all Board members and adopted a new

structure for the period from 1 July 2024 so that Director remuneration is standardised internationally, as follows:


1) for the Chair, annual director fees consisting of $300,000, comprising $200,000 in cash and $100,000 in newly issued shares;

2) for directors other than the Chair:

a) annual director fees payable to each non-executive director of $100,000.

b) annual fees payable to members of the Audit and Risk Committee as follows;

i) $20,000 for the chair of the Audit and Risk Committee; and

ii) $10,000 for other members of the Audit and Risk Committee,

c) annual fees payable to members of the People & Culture Committee as follows:

i) $15,000 for the chair of the People & Culture Committee; and

ii) $7,500 for other members of the People & Culture Committee; and

3) additional annual fees of $5,000 to all directors who travel overseas for a board meeting (in addition to the reimbursement of

expenses).


Directors are expected to acquire shares in Gentrack over a three-year period with a view to accumulating a holding that is

equivalent to 50% of their base directors’ fee. Once this stake has been acquired, movements in Gentrack’s share price will

not trigger any further expectation to acquire shares.



The Board sought external and independent benchmarking advice from KPMG to provide market data and commentary to

inform decisions in respect to the adjustments.

Climate

Statement

FY24

54

Gentrack Group Limited (Gentrack) is a climate-
reporting entity (CRE) under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013. This climate statement

is for the financial year ending 30 September

2024, which is Gentrack’s first reporting period

under the Climate-Related Disclosures regime.

Our vision

To accelerate the world towards a net zero

future by leading the global modernisation

of energy and water retailers.

Our technology streamlines the management

and the launch of complex and innovative energy

and water offerings, accelerating the market

adoption of sustainable solutions. By leveraging

these technologies, utilities can optimise their

operations, enhance efficiencies, and facilitate

the transition to a resilient future.

We are entering a new era, with utilities

worldwide transforming to meet

business and sustainability targets.

Introduction

55

For over 35 years Gentrack has been partnering

with the world’s leading utilities, and more

than 60 energy and water companies rely on

us for their billing and customer relationship

management. Gentrack, with our partners

Salesforce and AWS, are leading today’s

transformation with g2.0.

Our belief is that the transition to net zero

depends on achieving a critical mass of end

customers adopting new green solutions, which

in turn demands modern and dynamic billing and

CRM systems to drive it forward.

Veovo continue to revolutionise the way

airports and transport hubs manage their

operations, providing breakthrough technology

that accelerates the transition to intelligent,

automated and more efficient organisations.

Gentrack provide technologies that play a key role

in accelerating a sustainable future for the planet

through optimisation, efficiencies and delivering

customer centric solutions that advance the

energy transition.

We were pleased to announce a AUD
$12m investment in Amber, reinforcing our

commitment to accelerating the energy

transition to net zero. Amber is an Australian-

based technology company and energy

retailer that allows customers to take

advantage of real-time energy market price

fluctuations.

By controlling and automating the way

their solar PV, home battery and EVs operate

throughout the day, customers can not only

maximise their use of green energy but also

enhance the financial returns from their

installations.

Our investment includes an agreement that

will see Gentrack and Amber further develop,

sell internationally, and deploy an end-to-end

solution for billing, customer care, and smart

distributed energy management – driving the

energy transition forward to greener future.

Australia is a country that has one of

the most decentralised grids worldwide

and leads in rooftop solar penetration.

For our customer, EnergyAustralia, we

are at the heart of an initiative aimed at

overcoming the hurdles associated with

the widespread adoption of solar panels.

The ‘Home Solar Bundle’ includes the

installation and maintenance of solar

panels and batteries with zero upfront

cost and a guaranteed energy price

for seven years. This can significantly

accelerate the customer transition to

renewables by lowering the barrier to

entry and associated upfront costs

or maintenance headaches, while also

accelerating the global energy transition

to net zero.

By adopting Gentrack’s software, our

customer Genesis Energy is able to deploy

their

EVerywhere plan, a New Zealand first

that allows you to charge on the road and

pay as if you were at home.

Currently, as set out by Genesis Energy,

the freedom to go

EVerywhere can

save up to 70% on traditional charging

infrastructure incentivises customer

uptake of EV charging opportunities and

use of renewable energy.

Our corporate governance practices enable

the proper operation of our company,

consistent with our values, stakeholders

and shareholders’ best interests and legal

requirements. We are committed to a corporate

governance structure that promotes long-term

shareholder value creation.

The Board is the governance body ultimately

responsible for oversight of Gentrack’s climate-

related risks and opportunities.

Our strategy incorporates the assessment of

Climate related Risks and Opportunities (CRROs)

that could impact Gentrack. These are considered

within the broader risk management framework

already in existence at Gentrack.

The Gentrack Board is responsible for approving

the risk framework to assist with identifying,

assessing and managing its risk (including

climate) in a pro-active and efficient manner.

The Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) of the Board

oversee this activity, ensuring the effective and

efficient management of all strategic business

risks, including monitoring of climate-related risks.

Governance

Figure 1: Governance structure

Our approach

In preparing our first Climate-Related Disclosure

(CRD), we have elected to use the guidance

of external climate consultancy,

thinkstep-

anz

for the 2024 reporting period. They have

provided expertise in both drafting the CRD

and in producing Gentrack’s Greenhouse Gas

(GHG) emissions inventory. Additionally, details

pertaining to utilised adoption provisions are

located at the end of this report.

thinkstep-anz are a specialist climate consultancy

located in both Australia and New Zealand. They

have deep expertise in carbon measurement and

reporting alongside the production of Climate

Related Disclosures.

thinkstep-anz are certified B

Corp and a signatory to the UN Global Compact.

Many of the assumptions, metrics and

measurements used in preparing this Climate

Statement involve the exercise of Gentrack’s

judgement or are based on our estimate of the

current or future position, which we considered

to be reasonable at the time this document

was prepared. No information presented in this

document that is based on our judgements or

estimates should be taken as a guarantee of

future outcomes.

Gentrack uses a skills matrix to ensure its Board has an appropriate range

of skills and competencies to govern Gentrack. The skills and competencies

Gentrack consider relevant to ensuring appropriate oversight of climate-

related risks and opportunities include governance, environmental and

energy sector experience.

A summary of the Board skills matrix is available on page 46. The Board also

received a ‘Climate Risk & Disclosure’ workshop on 29th July 2024 delivered

by thinkstep-anz.

Governance oversight

The Board considers relevant sustainability matters including CRROs

through both the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) and the People and Culture

Committee (P&CC) (See Figure 1). In FY24 the ARC had six meetings and the

P&C had four meetings. The Global Sustainability Director provides Climate

Risk updates to the ARC through existing risk management processes.

Specific risks are reported every month as part of the CEO’s report to

the Board.

The ARC includes ‘Climate’ as an independent risk vector in the Risk Register,

specifically focusing on resilience to physical and transitional climate

risks and compliance with reporting regulations. The ‘Global Sustainability

Director’ has been assigned as the risk owner. During 2024 financial year the

ARC considered presentations on climate-related matters and risks at four of

its six meetings.

In FY24, the ARC provided oversight of the scenario analysis by reviewing

and providing feedback on the scenarios and associated risks, and the Board

approved the scenarios used.

Role of management

The ARC has assigned climate-related responsibilities to members of our

Executive Leadership Team (ELT). The CFO and CPO are Senior Executive

Sponsors, and the work is led by the Global Sustainability Director who is

responsible for implementing our sustainability strategy. The Sustainability

Director meets fortnightly with the CPO and monthly with the CFO to apprise

them of updates, alongside frequent meetings with the CEO.

In July 2024 a dedicated Climate Workshop was conducted across the entire

ELT to review the findings and ensure alignment and understanding of risks

and opportunities. The Climate Workshop remains an annual standing item for

the ELT.

As part of our sustainability strategy, a dedicated Global Sustainability Task

Force (GSTF) was established, consisting of at least 4 teams of 8+ people

regionally across the group, with a current membership of 38 globally. The

GSTF is responsible for developing and communicating our sustainability

efforts across the business and plays a key role in our transition plan. The

regional teams meet with the Sustainability Director monthly, alongside

regular engagement with regional ELT members to continue to advance

the strategy across the Group. Each regional GSTF has a dedicated

representative that communicates progress through regular, regional

townhalls. Where required, the GSTF will report matters to the ARC through

the Global Sustainability Director.

59
Connected to our vision and our values, our

sustainability strategy seeks to integrate all

elements of sustainability across our entire

enterprise, engaging our people, our processes,

our product and our partners.

One pillar of the strategy directly focuses on

delivering transparent disclosures and reporting,

including the measurement of our CO

2

e footprint.

Develop &

build cleantech

We believe in the

power of cleantech

We will invest in and drive

cleantech solutions for our

customers and support

our product strategy. We

will strive to become the

centre of excellence for

sustainable innovation.

60
Capital Deployment &

Vulnerability to CRROs

Our efforts to identify new markets and help enable

the global energy transition through our capital

investment in clean tech continues in line with

our growth ambition. As a technology company

focused on accelerating the world towards a net

zero future by leading the global modernisation of

the Energy and Water retailers, we believe we are

well positioned to mitigate our climate-related risks

while capitalising on the opportunities.

We have identified our physical and transitional

risks and climate opportunities (See table on

page 63), at present – these have the potential

to impact all our assets and business activities.

However, as part of our transitional planning

process we will further develop our understanding

to determine with greater precision the

percentage of assets or business activities that

may be vulnerable, including specific capital

deployment. Currently, we do not have specific

capital deployment against CRROs. As part of our

transition plan, we will review our R&D investment

in our product to determine the proportion

related to CRROs.

Environmental impacts

As a technology company our main environmental

impact is limited to carbon and captured in

our GHG emissions inventory. We continually

seek to reduce our emissions as a responsible

business. Throughout FY24 we have successfully

transitioned a further three people centres

to renewable energy, meaning 80% of our

operationally controlled sites are now on

renewable energy tariffs with the aim to be

operating with 100% renewable energy by FY25.

To date, Gentrack has not had to manage any

material impacts of a physically changing climate.

Transitional impacts

Transitional impact has largely been felt

through the mechanism of increased resource

and compliance costs associated with climate

reporting legislation e.g. NZ CRD requirements,

alongside increasing stakeholder expectations

for quantification and transparency in relation

to climate-related activities, impacts, risks and

opportunities. During FY24 no significant climate

related physical impacts were reported. Gentrack

has responded to the transitional risks created by

the introduction of climate disclosure regulation

in New Zealand through the production of this

climate statement.

Scenario analysis undertaken

Gentrack followed guidance provided by New

Zealand’s External Reporting Board (XRB) when

undertaking scenario analysis to CRROs, that could

impact its strategy and business model now and

into the future.

We conducted scenario analysis in FY24 with

the assistance of thinkstep-anz. In a facilitated

workshop CRROs were presented and discussed by

all members of the ELT across the Gentrack Group.

This was to determine CRROs that may be material

to Gentrack over the short, medium and long-term.

Focal question

The focal question presented to frame the

workshop was:

“What CRROs are affecting the Gentrack Group

(including its office sites) now, what CRROs could

plausibly affect the Gentrack Group over the

short, medium and long-term, and how material

are those CRROs to the Group’s business model

and strategy both now and in the future?”

Organisational boundary

and value chain

Gentrack’s global office locations were

included within the organisational boundary

for the purposes of CRRO identification and

analysis, including all assets under Gentrack’s

operational control.

61
Scenario rationale and data sources

The scenario analysis used:

a. An ‘Orderly’ 1.5°C scenario,

b. A ‘Disorderly’ 2.0°C scenario

c. A ‘Hot House’ ≥3.0°C scenario

The scenarios were chosen to provide a sound basis to assess the resilience of our business model and

strategy against selected CRROs. The following data sources were used in preparing the scenarios:

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth assessment synthesis report (AR6)

• The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) hypothetical scenarios. The NGFS “net zero

2050”, “Delayed Transition” and “Current Policies” scenarios were utilised in producing the 1.5°C, 2.0°C

and ≥3.0°C scenarios

• The International Energy Agency (IEA) 2023 World Energy Outlook

• Selected advice to the NZ Government from the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Change Commission

(CCC)

Time horizons for scenarios

• All temperature outcomes in the scenarios relate to global temperatures in 2100. These were coupled

with the various global ambition levels associated with limiting global warming

• Gentrack’s time horizons for scenario planning: Short-term 1-5 years (2030), Medium-term 5-15 years

(2040) and Long-term 15-30 years (2055). Gentrack’s strategic planning horizon is focused on a

5-year window

Climate scenarios

• Future impacts and their materiality were considered based on three future scenarios and narratives.

These have been built around a scenario “architecture” which draws on both global “pathways” to

a low emissions future. Combining data sources and associated predictions in this way helped

to present workshop participants with plausible futures

62
Scenario architectures

In the absence of sector specific guidance, thinkstep-anz developed the following scenario architectures following best practice to frame plausible futures

and facilitate the analysis.

Energy pathwaysThere is a global focus on achieving net zero by

2050. This includes a transition to renewables,

investment in clean energy, adoption of

technology and the phasing out of fossil fuels.

Low carbon sources represent 40% of the global

energy mix by 2040. There is a mainstreaming of

electric vehicles and a focus on energy efficiency.

Power generation is decarbonised leading a

decline in coal demand.

Current policies like Nationally Determined

Contributions under the Paris Agreement as

well as industry actions related to clean energy

technologies leave a significant gap to net zero

by 2050.

Macroeconomic trendsMany global economies transform with climate

change and decarbonisation being prioritised.

The economic transformation leads lower

short-term GDP growth but more significant

growth in the medium to long term as the costs

of adaptation are lower.

Economic transformation is delayed until post-

2030. GDP growth is low in the short to medium

term. Long-term economic trends are difficult

to predict as decisions need to be made on

the prioritisation of decarbonisation as well as

adaptation.

There is no significant economic transformation

in relation to decarbonisation. Over the medium

to long-term increasing economic impacts

are felt due to climate change impacts and

the need to implement increasingly expensive

adaptation measures.

63
Scenario narratives

The scenario architectures, presented above, were used to create entity level scenario narratives for three plausible futures Gentrack may face:

Orderly Transition (1.5°C)

There is global adoption of strong, effective

climate policies, driving down emissions and

decarbonising the energy sector and transport

by 2050.

The transition occurs in a coordinated manner

across all jurisdictions and all sectors. There

are clearly signalled policy changes in 2024/25

aligned with RCP2.6, ratcheting goals and

targets to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

Global emission trading scheme (ETS) settings

create strong incentives to stimulate investment

in renewable energy and build low carbon

infrastructure. The decarbonisation of carbon

intensive industries continues with focused

funding. Complementary policies support the

widespread adoption of electric vehicles and

equitable access to affordable energy.

Rapid change begins with the electrification

of the light passenger fleet, followed by heavy

transport over a longer period utilising a mix of

electrification and low carbon fuels. Globally

annual rainfall patterns are expected to change,

with moderate increases projected in the

frequency and intensity of storms, river flooding,

drought and fire weather.

Disorderly Transition (2.0°C)

Globally climate policies are expedited after 2030

with limited time for consultation. As a result, the

cost of decarbonisation increases significantly.

Global ETS settings are aligned to emissions

budgets reaching out to mid-Century. This

reduces incentives to invest in low-carbon

technology, renewable energy and low carbon

infrastructure, until the late-2030’s. Consumer

confidence in transport electrification takes

much longer to generate, uptake of electric

vehicles is slow, but increases beyond 2030.

Appetite to decarbonise varies, creating a gap

between industry leaders and those who wait

for low carbon technologies to become more

affordable. Extreme weather events increase in

frequency and severity, and further intensify

after 2040. This causes significant supply chain

disruption and damage to those assets exposed

to a high risk of physical climate impacts such as

storm damage, fire conditions and flooding.

Hot House (>3.0°C)

Globally spending on mitigation is cut and

efforts directed at maximising renewable

energy generation and decarbonisation are

abandoned.

The global carbon price plummets and fails to

have any material effect on consumer behaviour.

Supply chain disruption caused by more severe

physical impacts of climate change introduces

significant price volatility. The transport

transition effectively stalls, uptake of electric

vehicles remains low.

The projected increase in mean air

temperature is >3.1°C by the end of the

century. Changes in annual rainfall patterns

are expected to be more extreme, river

flooding, drought and fire weather are

projected to reach extreme levels in

most areas of the world. There will be

a strengthening of storm tracks,

windspeeds and precipitation from

associated “atmospheric rivers”.

The following material CRROs, and their anticipated impacts, were identified under three plausible futures, sites noted under physical CRROs are those with
the highest risk of impact:

Our risk management framework helps us
to identify different categories of risk e.g.,

compliance, operational, reputational, financial,

and people risks and are subject to regular

review by the ARC. Enterprise risks are contained

in the Risk Register and are reviewed by the

Audit and Risk Committee as part of this risk

management process. Additionally, to develop

our understanding of climate risk we conduct

an annual climate workshop with C-Suite

stakeholders. CRROs have been identified and

assessed through the scenario analysis process

described in the strategy section of this climate

statement. Material CRRO’s have been identified

using Gentrack’s existing risk management

framework.

Material CRROs will be lodged in the company

Risk Register and progress on their management

will be subject to annual review by the Audit

and Risk Committee as part of our structured

risk management process. We have intentionally

focused on assets we retain direct influence

and control over and have excluded value chain

components over which Gentrack retains no

ability to manage risk e.g. aviation authorities

and security infrastructure, data centre partners

and customer-controlled infrastructure

(meter points).

Greenhouse gas emissions

For the year ended 30th September 2024,

we have produced our Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

emissions inventory with the support of

external climate consultancy,

thinkstep-anz.

The approach we have taken and our summary

of FY24 emissions is outlined below. Gentrack’s

GHG emissions are reported in tonnes of CO

2


equivalents (t CO

2

e), as required by the

GHG Protocol.

Measurement protocol

Gentrack has produced an annual GHG emissions

report for FY24 in accordance with the following

standards and guidance:

• Greenhouse Gas Protocol – A Corporate

Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised

Edition (WBCSD/WRI, 2015); and

• Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) –

Scope 2 Guidance (WRI, 2015)

Risk

management

Metrics and

targets

Operational control

approach

This report has taken the operational

control approach, as defined by the GHG

Protocol (WBCSD/WRI, 2015), which means

that 100% of the GHG emissions from

operations over which Gentrack had control

in financial year 2024 (FY24) are accounted

for in this report (WBCSD/WRI, 2015).

The following business areas were included in

Gentrack operational approach:

• London office

• Tewkesbury office

• Vodskov office

• Auckland office

• Melbourne office

This approach was chosen as it aligns with

our financial accounting. We have also

chosen this approach with a view to future

emissions reporting and associated emissions

reduction measures.

68

Global warming potential
(GWP)

GWP of GHG is applied to calculate the total CO

2

e

emissions. Gentrack used the GWP values as set

out in 2023 MfE Workbook.

Total emissions for FY24

The emissions reporting for FY24 covers Scope 1

and Scope 2 as we are continuing to expanding our

emissions inventory through collecting Scope 3

emissions data.

The Scope 1 and 2 measurements relate to our

locations in; Melbourne, London, Tewkesbury,

Auckland and Vodskov. Our sites in Pune, Riyadh,

Singapore and Orlando are serviced offices and will

be considered under Scope 3.

During FY24 we have successfully transitioned

a further three sites (London, Tewkesbury and

Auckland) to green energy plans and intend

to achieve 100% transition by FY25 for all five

locations.

As per GHG Protocol the location-based method

reflects the average emissions intensity of grids

on which energy consumption occurs (using

grid-average emission factor data). The market-

based method reflects emissions from no or

low emissions electricity that companies have

contracted (or if no renewable electricity supply

is contracted (nor available for contracting) using

then residual mix emission factor).

Materiality Threshold

A materiality threshold of 1% of total emissions

per scope has been selected to classify each

of the emissions sources and categories. If

emissions from a particular source or category

exceed this threshold, it is classified as ‘material’

in the context of each scope. Sources or

categories below this threshold are classified

as immaterial. It should be noted that the

materiality threshold can be defined by the

reporting company.

Emission sources or categories below the

materiality threshold may still be included in

reporting where the data is easily available and

deemed of interest to stakeholders.

Emission factors

Gentrack uses the latest published emission

factors available at the time of reporting,

including from the following sources which

we used to prepare our FY24 GHG emissions

inventory and reporting:

• New Zealand Ministry for the Environment

(MfE) – Measuring Emissions: A Guide for

Organisations (2023 MfE Workbook)

• UK Department for Business, Energy

and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and

Department for Energy Security and net

zero – Government Conversion Factors for

Company Reporting of Greenhouse Gas

Emissions (2023 BEIS Workbook)

• Australian National Greenhouse Accounts

(NGA) Factors, Australian Government

Department of Climate Change, Energy, the

Environment and Water (2023 NGA Factors

Workbook)

• Renewable Energy Certificate System

Emissions by Greenhouse Gas

The table below provides details of the contribution by greenhouse gas

of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Some countries do not provide a split

for Scope 1 or 2 emission factors into different gases. Consequently,

the total of gasses does not always align with total emissions.

For FY24 there is a level of uncertainty to our emissions reporting as a

result of both estimation and data quality (the level and effect of which

is noted in the table above). Uncertainty will reduce as we continue to

improve and refine our data collection.

We are pleased to report that a new meter system specific for our London

site is due to be introduced in late 2024 which shall greatly enhance our

fidelity of data for FY25 reporting.

71

Exclusions
The Auckland office has a diesel generator for back

up purposes and was confirmed that it had not

been used in FY24. There are no fugitive emissions

from refrigerant gases considered for FY24 as no

top-ups were reported.

Emissions intensity

Currently Gentrack consider the most appropriate

emissions intensity figure to be kgCO

2

e per NZ $ of

revenue. However, other options will be considered

as the understanding of our emissions profile

increases and climate reporting across our sector

globally continues to develop.

Industry based metrics

We are continuing to explore industry-based

metrics for the data and technology sector with a

view to adopting them to ensure future-proofing.

Targets

Gentrack is actively developing a comprehensive

GHG emissions inventory and is committed

to exploring emission reduction strategies

and setting targets once it gains a deeper

understanding of its full Scope 1-3 inventory.

Further consideration will be given to the Science

Based Target Initiative (SBTi) net zero framework

to inform possible options for emissions targets

including an emissions intensity approach.

Offsets

Gentrack has not used emissions offsets and

remains focused on reducing emissions at

this stage.

Internal Emissions Pricing

Gentrack does not use an internal emissions

price program.

Base year and recalculation

procedure

The FY24 inventory is used as base year for

Gentrack’s annual reporting.

The approach used for the FY24 inventory will

be used as the basis for future reporting for

Gentrack’s operations, and its use as a base

year will support consistency and comparison

over time.

Gentrack will review its base year inventory each

year to ensure representativeness and to enable

consistent tracking over time. The base year

shall be recalculated and restated in the event

of significant changes (>±5%) in emissions,

resulting from:

• Structural changes that have a significant

impact on the company’s base year emissions,

such as acquisitions, divestments, mergers, and

outsourcing or insourcing of emitting activities

• Changes in calculation methodology or

improvements in the accuracy of emission

factors or activity data that result in a

significant impact on the base year

emissions data

• Discovery of significant errors, or a number of

cumulative errors that are collectively significant

• Changes in the categories or activities included

in the scope 3 inventory
