Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
We are pleased to present Savor Limited’s 2025 Annual

Report, reflecting a year of resilience and strategic

progress within a challenging economic backdrop.

Despite significant market headwinds, our disciplined

management and robust cost controls delivered a solid

operational performance, positioning the Group for

sustained success and long-term shareholder value.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AMID ECONOMIC

CHALLENGES

The 2025 financial year was marked by economic

volatility, yet Savor Group achieved notable results:

• REVENUE

Total revenue reached $56.6 million, an 8% decline

from $61.9 million in 2024, driven by reduced foot

traffic due to economic pressures but supported

by consistent customer spend per head. This single

digit decline on the prior year was particularly

pleasing given the half year was down over 15%,

which shows the marketing and revenue initiatives

played out well with our customers.

• EBITDA

Despite a circa $5m reduction in revenue,

management delivered an EBITDA of $7.3m

representing a net extraction rate of 13%, which

is a considerable achievement and within 1% of

the prior year.

• OPERATING CASH FLOW

Net cash from operating activities grew to $7.1 million,

an 11% increase from $6.4 million in 2024, reflecting

our focus on efficient working capital management.

• BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH

We reduced total borrowings, improved net cash

to $1.8 million and maintained a ratio of net debt to

operating earnings of less than 1 times.

These outcomes, achieved amidst rising costs

and cautious consumer spending, underscore our

commitment to operational efficiency. The reported

loss of $1.2 million was largely a result of the one-time

fixed asset write-off from the discontinued Seafarers

operations. Nevertheless, the Group’s underlying

operational improvements and asset upgrades

positions Savor for a strong recovery as market

conditions improve.

EBITDA RESILIENCE AMID REVENUE CHALLENGES

In the 2025 financial year, Savor Group faced an 8%

revenue decline, from $61.9 million to $56.6 million, a

$5.3 million reduction driven by economic pressures

and reduced foot traffic. In the hospitality industry,

where fixed costs (such as rent, rates and utilities)

are substantial, such a top-line drop typically leads

to a disproportionate hit to profitability. Yet, Savor’s

management delivered a strong result with an EBITDA

decline of only $1.5 million.

This achievement is a testament to our disciplined

cost management and operational efficiency.

Through daily management of variable costs, the

Group mitigated the impact of lower revenues while

preserving the quality of our customer experience.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES STRENGTHENING

OUR POSITION

In 2025, we implemented targeted initiatives to enhance

our portfolio and deepen customer engagement:

• VENUE OPTIMIZATION:

The expiry of the Seafarers building lease in Britomart

allowed us to relocate to a modernized venue with

a more sustainable lease structure, reducing fixed

costs and supporting long-term profitability.

• SAVOR FOOD FESTIVAL

Our inaugural Group-wide promotion, held from

August to October 2024, was a resounding success.

By offering value-driven dining, the Festival reversed

a 15% decline in winter foot traffic, achieving year-on-

year growth by its fourth week. Strategic partnerships

with suppliers such as Peroni, Allpress, Moet Hennessy,

and Pernod Ricard, combined with a dynamic multi-

channel marketing campaign, enhanced brand visibility

and laid the groundwork for its 2025 return.

• NON SOLO PIZZA (NSP) UPGRADES

We seized infrastructure challenges as an opportunity

to renovate NSP’s kitchen, private dining room, and

osteria bar, completed in August 2024. A partnership

with Constellation Brands NZ enhanced the front bar

and introduced an exclusive Napa Valley wine tasting

experience, unlocking revenue potential in Parnell’s

underserved private dining market. The Osteria’s

new glass roof resolved waterproofing issues, driving

strong customer demand post-reopening.

• FUTURE GROWTH

At the 2024 Annual Shareholders Meeting, we

announced the new entertainment offering in

Britomart’s Roukai Lane, set to open in Spring

2025. This high-potential site leverages our brand

strength and proximity to corporate hubs to attract

both loyal and new customers. Please see the

details of this exciting project overleaf.

These efforts, which are supported by a resilient

supply chain and strong supplier relationships,

ensured quality and cost efficiency despite the risk of

global tariff uncertainties, and position Savor well in

its efforts to maintain stable pricing for our customers

and robust margins.

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

DISCIPLINED GROWTH STRATEGY
Savor continues to attract expansion opportunities

across New Zealand, often with compelling incentives.

However, we remain selective, prioritizing investments

that strengthen our market-leading brands and

maximize shareholder value. Our focus on optimizing

existing operations has solidified our foundation,

and we believe market conditions are beginning to

shift in our favour. The upcoming Roukai Lane venue

exemplifies our strategy of pursuing high-impact

opportunities with favourable terms.

OUTLOOK

The trading environment remains uncertain, with

economic pressures persisting domestically and

globally. However, Savor’s proven resilience, disciplined

cost management, and strategic investments position

us to capitalize on emerging opportunities. We

anticipate gradual relief in cost-of-living pressures,

enabling more customers to enjoy our exceptional

dining experiences, particularly at our new venues.

Our strengthened balance sheet, with improved cash

reserves and declining leverage, provides flexibility to

navigate challenges or pursue growth. The momentum

from our 2025 initiatives, including the Savor Food

Festival and NSP upgrades, will drive performance into

the critical summer season and beyond.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

On behalf of the Board and management team, we

extend our sincere gratitude for your continued

support and investment in Savor. Your trust inspires

us to deliver sustainable value, even in challenging

times. We look forward to welcoming you at our Annual

Shareholders Meeting later in 2025 to share further

updates on our exciting journey.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Robinson

Corporate Governance
The overall responsibility for ensuring that the

corporate governance and accountability of

the Company is properly managed, thereby

enhancing investor confidence, lies with

the Board of Directors. A copy of Savor’s

Corporate Governance Code (“Code”), current

as at 22 May 2025, is available on the Savor

website at www.savor.co.nz.

The Code is generally consistent with the principles

identified in the NZX Corporate Governance Code

(version dated 31 January 2025). Savor followed the

recommendations in the NZX Corporate Governance

Code throughout the year and as at 31 March 2025,

except that:

• the Company did not have a majority of

independent Directors (per recommendation 2.8);

• the Company did not have an independent Chair of

the Board (per recommendation 2.9); and

• the Company does not have an Audit and Risk

Committee comprising solely of Non-Executive

Directors (per recommendation 3.1).

These departures from the NZX Corporate Governance

Code are primarily due to the size and composition

of the Board. The Board considers that to increase

the number of Directors on the Board or to have an

independent Chair to comply with the Code would

bring undue cost to the Group, given the skills and

experience of the current Directors are complementary

to one another and specific to the needs to the

Company. The Board seeks external expert advice on a

range of legal, financial and commercial matters where

specialist assistance is required.

The Company will continue to monitor best practice in

the governance area and update its policies to ensure

it maintains the most appropriate standards.

An outline of the Company’s governance arrangements

are set out below. Further detail is available on the

Company’s website www.savor.co.nz.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategic

direction of Savor and supervising Savor’s management

for the benefit of shareholders. The roles and

responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Code.

The specific responsibilities of the Board include:

• Working with management to review and approve the

business and financial plans that set the strategic

direction of Savor

• Monitor the Company’s performance against its

approved strategic, business and financial plans and

oversee the Company’s operating results on a regular

basis so as to evaluate whether the business is being

properly managed

• Establishing and overseeing succession plans for the

Chief Executive Officer and senior management

• Monitoring compliance and risk management

• Establishing and monitoring Savor’s health and

safety policies

• Ensuring effective disclosure policies and

procedures are adopted

• Ensuring effective reporting processes and

procedures

• Ensuring the quality and independence of the

Company’s external audit process

Directors are required to undertake appropriate training

to remain current on how to best perform their duties as

Directors of Savor.

The Board has agreed that the performance of

the Board, its Committees, and Directors will be

independently evaluated at least once every three years.

The first of these was originally expected to take place

during the financial year ending 31 March 2025, however,

was deferred for 12 months due to controlling costs in

the challenging economic landscape.

BOARD MEETING AND COMMITTEE

ATTENDANCE

During the year to 31 March 2025 the Company held

12 Board meetings. The Audit & Risk Committee met on

three occasions. Attendance by individual Directors was

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Corporate Governance

ETHICAL CONDUCT
The Code includes a code of ethics which is designed

to govern the conduct of Directors, senior managers and

other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The

Company’s directors and managers are expected to lead

according to these standards of ethical and professional

conduct and to ensure that they are communicated to

the people who report to them. The Code addresses,

amongst other matters, conflicts of interest, receipt of

gifts, confidentiality and fair business practices.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP

As at 31 March 2025, the Board consisted of two

Independent Directors and two Executive Directors, who

are elected based on the value they bring to the Board.

Each Savor Director is a skilled and experienced

business person. Together they provide value by making

quality contributions to corporate governance matters,

conceptual thinking, strategic planning, policies and

providing guidance to management.

The Chair of the Board and the CEO are different people.

As at 31 March 2025 the Company’s Directors were:

Paul Robinson - Executive Chair

Paul Robinson was appointed to the Board in April 2019

and was last re-elected by shareholders in August 2022.

Paul is currently Chair of the Board and a member of the

Audit & Risk and People & Culture Committees.

Paul Robinson has twenty years’ experience in structured

finance and strategy. From 1999 Paul spent nine years

originating structured trades based in London and in

2008 Paul transferred to New York. In 2018 Paul and his

family moved back to New Zealand to enjoy life here and

to take an active role in Savor Group where he had a long

term shareholding.

Lucien Law - Executive Director & CEO

Lucien Law was appointed to the Board in April 2019 and

was last re-elected by shareholders in August 2022. Lucien

is currently a member of the People & Culture Committee.

Over the past twelve years, Lucien has led a new wave in

Auckland hospitality, overseeing the building of a group

of brands that have had a significant impact on the city’s

dining and entertainment scene.

His projects include award-winning modern Japanese

restaurants Azabu and Ebisu, contemporary New Zealand

brasserie Ostro, along with Fukoku, Las Vegas Club

and Mission Bay Pavilion. One of his most ambitious

developments is Seafarers, spanning several floors in the

historic Seafarers building at Auckland’s Britomart.

Prior to his involvement in hospitality, Lucien founded

highly successful independent communications agency

Shine, which has worked with brands including Spark,

Hyundai, Fonterra and Lion Breweries.

Louise Alexander - Independent Director

Louise Alexander was appointed to the Board in

April 2021 and last re-elected by shareholders in

September 2024. Louise is currently the Chair of

the People & Culture Committee and a member of

the Audit & Risk and Remuneration Committees.

leader and leads her own HR consultancy, People

Synergistics, and is the Head of Operations and BD

at FrontTier, a Leadership Development business.

Louise recently departed as the HR Director for

Bell Gully, a role which she held from 2015 to June

2024. Louise developed and led Bell Gully’s HR

strategy over that time, focusing on communication,

diversity and culture, and supporting and

developing people through the talent management

program. Louise has a passion for the not for profit

sector, with both management and governance

roles in various organisations throughout her career.

Louise brings a critical skillset to Savor, where

the success of the Group is driven by its teams

in the venues.

Bhupen Master - Independent Director

Bhupen Master was appointed to the Board in

August 2023 and elected by shareholders in

September 2023. Bhupen is currently Chair of the

Audit & Risk Committee.

Bhupen has spent his extensive career working with

some of the top financial institutions worldwide.

Bhupen was previously an Executive Director of

Goldman Sachs, Australia with extensive experience

in global markets. Prior to this, Bhupen spent over

20 years working in New Zealand, Australia and the

United Kingdom. Bhupen’s extensive experience

in the capital markets and strategic transactions

strengthens the Board’s diverse skills and

experience, and are essential to assist in guiding

the Group as it continues on its growth trajectory.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

IIn order for a Director to be independent, the

Board has determined that he or she must not

be an executive of Savor and must have no

disqualifying relationship as defined in the Code

and the Listing Rules.

The Board has determined that as at 31 March

2025, Bhupen Master and Louise Alexander are

Independent Directors.

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION

Savor Limited (‘the Parent’ or ‘Company’) and its

subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) operate in the

hospitality sector, operating a number of premium

restaurants and bars. The address of its registered office

is c/o Generator, Level 10, 11 Britomart Place, Auckland,

New Zealand 1010.

Savor Limited is a company domiciled in New Zealand,

registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 reporting entity.

These financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the

requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP

the Group is a for-profit entity. The consolidated

financial statements of the Group comply with New

Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS). They also comply with International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial

statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and are

rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

The financial statements have been prepared under the

historical cost basis.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has

control. The Group controls an entity when the Group

is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from

its involvement with the entity and has the ability

to affect those returns through its power over the

entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the

date on which control is transferred to the Group. The

financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the

consolidated financial statements from the date that

control commences until the date control ceases. From

that date they are deconsolidated.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for

business combinations. The consideration transferred for

the acquisition of the subsidiary is the fair values of the

assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former

owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued

by the Group. The consideration transferred includes

the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a

contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable

assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities

assumed in a business combination are measured

initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The

difference between the consideration paid and the fair

value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill.

Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Group derives venue revenue through the sale of

food and beverages and by hosting events. This revenue

is recognised at a point in time, being the point of sale.

For significant events, the Group receives deposits in

advance to secure the booking. These deposits are

deferred on the balance sheet as a liability and are

recognised as revenue at a point in time, being the date

of the event. The Group has determined that there is

a single performance obligation for these transactions

even though part-payment may be received in advance.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

These financial statements are prepared using the same

accounting policies as the prior year. Several other

amendments and interpretations apply for the first time

from 1 April 2024, but do not have an impact on the

consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The Group continues to improve the disclosures in these

financial statements where required. Some comparative

balances have been adjusted or reclassified for

consistency.

2. KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Group has undertaken a number of key estimates

and judgements when preparing these financial

statements, the details of which are outlined in this

note. These judgements have been formed using

historical information and comparatives where available,

and management's best judgement where there is no

appropriate comparison. The Group continues to review

all significant estimates along with the assumptions used

and recognises any adjustments to these in the period in

which a change occurs.

2.1. INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT

Goodwill across the Group is tested annually for

impairment. Each cash generating unit (CGU) that

carries goodwill is valued on a value-in-use basis using

a discounted cash flow model, as a fair value less costs

to sell basis is considered to result in a lower valuation.

Management has used its past experience of sales

growth, operating costs and margin, and external sources

of information where appropriate, to determine their

expectations for the future. These cash flow projections

over five years are principally based on the Group's

budget, which is risk adjusted where appropriate. Cash

flows beyond five years have been extrapolated using

estimated terminal growth rates, which do not exceed

the long-term average growth rate. The terminal growth

rate used was 3% (2024: 3%) and the Group employed a

weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% (2024: 12.6%).

Notes to the Financial Statements

26

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

It is inherently difficult to forecast future performance of
the Group's operations in the post-COVID landscape. The

Group has prepared a budget and forecasts based on

current expectations, however there remains risk which is

primarily dependent on general market conditions. Venue

performance has demonstrated improvements in margins

and operatings earnings recently, which are budgeted

to be maintained or continue to improve throughout the

forecast period.

A change in any of the following key assumptions would

lead to the elimination of the excess of the recoverable

amount over carrying amount for the below venue.

Key assumptionValue attributedSensitivity

Azabu Ponsonby

Terminal year EBITDA margin21.5%-3.04%

Terminal growth rate3.0%-1.80%

Discount rate12.5%2.00%

For all other CGU's a reasonably possible change in the

assumptions used in the impairment testing would not

lead to an impairment charge.

2.2. RECOVERABILITY OF DEFERRED TAX

ASSET

The Group recognised approximately half of the historical

tax losses available to it as a deferred tax asset in

the prior year. During the current year, the Group has

undertaken an assessment to ensure it remains probable

that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise

those losses, and therefore that it remains appropriate

to recognise those losses on the balance sheet. This

assessment incorporated a number of aspects, including

the current tax expense incurred in the current and

prior years, along with a Group valuation assessment

using a similar approach and assumptions as the

goodwill impairment assessment, outlined in note 2.1.

The full details of the Group's tax position, including the

remaining unrecognised losses available for future use, is

outlined in note 14.

2.3. LEASE ACCOUNTING

The Group entered into a lease for a new site in

Britomart, Auckland in February 2025. The right of use

asset and lease liability have been valued using an initial

lease term of 10 years with the cash flows discounted

over that time using an incremental borrowing rate (IBR)

of 6.78%. The Group received incentives in the form of an

upfront cash payment of $1m and three months rent free,

both of which have been incorporated into the valuation

of the asset and liability, as required by NZ IFRS 16. The

recognised asset and liability are disclosed in note 9.

2.4. GOING CONCERN

The nature of the Group's operations means that

the Group holds minimal receivables and inventory

balances compared to its current liabilities. Therefore,

the Group has negative working capital at 31 March

2025. The Group's borrowings are subject to a leverage

ratio covenant and a fixed charge cover ratio. Based

on current forecasts the Group is expected to meet

the requirements of these for the foreseeable future.

In addition, the Group has also performed a range of

sensitivity analyses on the covenant measures, noting

there would need to be a material downturn in forecast

performance before any of the covenant obligations

would be breached. The Group's $3m overdraft facilities

were undrawn at 31 March 2025.

As a result of the considerations above the Directors

have concluded that the preparation of the financial

statements on a going concern basis remains

appropriate.

2.5. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS

Restructuring and other costs occur outside the normal

course of operating the venues on a day to day basis,

and are unrelated to the Group's trading operations.

These have been separated out on the face of the

Statement of Comprehensive Income to allow the reader

of these financial statements to understand the day to

day operations for the year without the impact of these

items. These items typically include the impairment or

disposal of assets, variable rent costs under NZ IFRS

16, costs related to restructuring or M&A activity, venue

development or other costs that are unrelated to the

Group's day to day trading operations.

3. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent

with the internal reporting provided to the chief

operating decision maker. The chief operating decision

maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and

assessing performance of the operating segments, has

been identified as the Board of Directors. Segmental

information is presented in respect of the Group’s

industry segment, Hospitality. Corporate is not an

operating segment as it does not meet the recognition

criteria under NZ IFRS 8.

4. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for

impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement

between 30-90 days from invoice date. All receivables

are due within 12 months of balance date.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing

for expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS

9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss

provisions for all trade receivables. Collectability of

trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis and

a provision for doubtful debts is made when there is

evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the

receivable. Additionally, the Group has established an

allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) based on its

historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-

looking factors specific to the receivables and the

economic environment. Receivables are written off when

recovery is no longer anticipated. There are no overdue

receivables considered impaired that have not been

provided for.

Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower

of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct

materials as invoiced to the Group. Costs are assigned

to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted

average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated

selling price in the ordinary course of business.

6. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair

value and subsequently measured at amortised cost

using the effective interest method. These amounts

represent liabilities for goods and services provided to

the Group prior to the end of the financial year which

are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually

paid within 30 and 60 days of recognition. Liabilities for

wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and

annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of

the reporting date are recognised in other payables in

respect of employees' services up to the reporting date.

Supplier loans relate to inducements received for the

long term supply to Hospitality venues. These loans are

amortised over the life of the individual contract as the

benefits are consumed.

7. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less

accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment

losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s

carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,

as appropriate, only when it is probable that future

economic benefits associated with the item will flow to

the Group and the cost of the item can be measured

reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged

to the statement of comprehensive income during

the financial year in which they are incurred. Work in

progress assets are those under construction that are

not yet in use and do not incur depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method

to expense the cost of the assets over their useful lives.

The rates are as follows:

Plant and equipment7% - 67%

Leasehold improvements6% - 20%

Fixtures & fittings7% - 67%

Motor vehicles10% - 21%

Any related gain or loss on disposal of assets is

recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

as part of restructuring and other costs.

8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured

on initial recognition at cost. Following initial

recognition, intangibles are carried at cost less

any accumulated amortisation and accumulated

impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite

useful lives are not amortised but are tested for

impairment annually, either individually or at the

cash-generating unit level. Intangible assets with a

definite life are amortised on a straight-line basis.

Software and other intangibles are amortised over

a period of 2-4 years.

Goodwill is stated at cost, less any impairment

losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units

(CGUs) and is not amortised but is tested annually

for impairment, and when an indication of impairment

exists.For the purposes of considering whether there

has been an impairment, assets are grouped at the

lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows

that are largely independent of the cash flows of other

groups of assets. When the book value of a group of

assets exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment

loss arises and is recognised in earnings immediately.

Refer to note 2.1 for impairment considerations.

PRIOR YEAR IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

The lease for the Seafarers Building in Britomart expires

in November 2025. At 31 March 2024, the Group did not

have a right of renewal for the premises and discussions

with the landlord had not yet reached a level where the

Group could be certain of the outcome. The impairment

assessment for the Seafarers CGU and the related

goodwill balances considered a range of possible

scenarios from an exit at the end of the current lease

through to a full extension for a similar 10 year term. After

weighting the probability of each possible outcome, the

resulting enterprise value was not sufficient to support

the existing carrying value of the CGU at balance date.

Accordingly, Savor recognised an impairment expense of

$4.3m to reduce the associated goodwill balance to nil.

9. LEASES

AS LESSEE

The Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease

liabilities for property leases. On inception of a new

lease, the lease liability is measured at the present value

of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the

Group's incremental borrowing rate at that date. The

right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to

the lease liability, and are depreciated over the estimated

remaining lease term on a straight line basis. The Group

presents the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

separately on the Balance Sheet.

• Exemption to not recognise right-of-use assets for

low-value leases; and

• Exemption to not recognise right-of-use assets for

leases with a term of less than 12 months.

The Group as the lessee has various non-cancellable

leases predominantly for the lease of land and buildings.

The leases have varying terms and renewal rights. On

renewal, the terms of the lease are renegotiated.

At 31 March 2024, the Group had committed funds with

ANZ for borrowings of $10m and overdraft facilities

of $3m. Accordingly, the Group recognised the full

balance of the Kiwibank borrowings as a current liability

on the face of the Balance Sheet in the prior year. The

refinancing was completed on 2 April 2024 and Kiwibank

were repaid in full. The facility for $7.5m of borrowings

expire on 31 March 2027, with the balance amortising

ahead of that date.

The average interest rate on these borrowings during

the year was 6.84% (2024: 4.32%). The Group incurred

interest charges on borrowings of $0.7m during the year

(2024: $0.5m).

The borrowings are subject to a leverage ratio and a

fixed charge cover ratio covenant. The Group expects to

meet the requirements of both covenants for at least the

next twelve months.

SHARE OPTION PLAN

In July 2015 the Board approved the Company

Employee Share Option Plan. Options allow eligible

staff to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company

at an exercise price. Options are vested in equal

tranches on the first to third anniversaries of the date of

issuance while the eligible employees remain in full time

employment with the Group. Once vested the options

can be exercised at any time up to the second April

following vesting. Employees can pay the exercise price

in shares using the 20-day Volume Weighted Average

Price of the Company shares up to the date of issuance.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the

total of the current year’s taxable income based on the

national income tax rate adjusted for any prior years'

under or over provisions, plus or minus movements in

the deferred tax balance except where the movement in

deferred tax is attributable to a movement in reserves. The

current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of

tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at balance date.

Notes to the Financial Statements

DEFERRED TAX
Movements in deferred tax are attributable to temporary

differences between the tax bases of assets and

liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial

statements and any unused tax losses or credits.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for

temporary differences at the tax rates expected to

apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are

settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or

substantively enacted at balance date. An exception

is made for certain temporary differences arising from

the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No

deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation

to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction,

other than a business combination, that at the time of

the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or

loss or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible

temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the

extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts

will be available to utilise those temporary differences

and losses. Refer to note 2.2 for further detail of the

assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax asset.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities of

individual entities are reported on a consolidated basis

as all subsidiaries form part of the same New Zealand

consolidated tax group.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RECOGNITION AND DERECOGNITION

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the

Group becomes a party to contractual provisions of the

instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the

contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial

asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially

all the risk and rewards are transferred. A financial liability

is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged,

cancelled or expires.

CLASSIFICATION AND INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain

a significant financing component and are measured

at the transaction price in accordance with NZ IFRS 15

(Revenue from Contracts with Customers), all financial

assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for

transaction costs (where applicable). Financial assets,

other than those designated and effective as hedging

instruments, are classified into the following categories:

• Amortised cost

• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

In the periods presented the Group does not have any

financial assets categorised as FVTPL or FVOCI.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if

the assets meet the following conditions (and are not

designated as FVTPL):

• they are held within a business model whose

objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its

contractual cash flows

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise

to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and

interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less any

provision for expected credit losses. Discounting is

omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The Group’s cash and trade and other receivables fall

into this category of financial instruments.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Recognition of credit losses uses the ‘expected credit

loss (ECL) model’. The Group considers a broad range

of information when assessing credit risk and measuring

expected credit losses, including past events, current

conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that

affect the expected collectability of future cash flows of

the instrument.

In applying this forward looking approach, a distinction is

made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated

significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or

that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated

significantly in credit quality since initial recognition

and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’). ‘Stage

3’ would cover financial assets that have objective

evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12

month expected credit losses’ are recognised in Stage

1, while 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised

for Stage 2.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is

determined by probability weighted estimate of credit

losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in

accounting for trade receivables and records the loss

allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These

are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows,

considering the potential for default at any point during

the life of the financial instrument.

36

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL
LIABILITIES

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other

payables, deferred consideration, borrowings and related

party payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and,

where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless

the Group designated a financial liability at fair value

through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities

are measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method. Deferred consideration is measured at

fair value with movements recognised in profit or loss.

A) CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS &

LIABILITIES

The varying amounts presented in the balance sheet

relate to the following categories of assets and liabilities:

2025

$000’s

2024

$000’s

Financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost:

Bank overdraft - 653

Trade and other payables 7,981 7,807

Borrowings 9,000 8,407

Total financial liabilities 16,981 16,867

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial

risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate

risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk

management programme focuses on the unpredictability

of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential

adverse effects on the financial performance of the

Group. The Group uses different methods to measure

different types of risk to which it is exposed. These

methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of

interest rate and foreign exchange risks and aging

analysis for credit risk.

B) MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices,

such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will

affect the Group’s income, input costs, or interest rates

on the Group's borrowings. The objective of market risk

management is to manage and control risk exposures

within acceptable parameters while optimising the return

on risk.

I) INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group’s fair value interest rate risk as at 31 March

2025 arises from its borrowings. An analysis on the

sensitivity of the Group's earnings due to movements in

interest rates is shown below.

Effect on net loss before tax

2025

$000’s

2024

$000’s

1% increase in interest rate(95)(80)

1% decrease in interest rate95 80

The above information is calculated by applying the

movement to the average balance of borrowings during

the year ended 31 March 2025 of $9.5m (2024: $8.4m).

II) CURRENCY RISK

The Group purchases services that are denominated

in foreign currencies (primarily AUD) from time to time.

These purchases were immaterial during the financial

year, and the Group's exposure to movements in foreign

exchange is immaterial (2024: both immaterial).

C) CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a

customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails

to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from

cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions,

as well as from the Group’s receivables due from

customers. Cash and deposit balances are held with

financial institutions rated at least an A+ Credit Rating by

Standard and Poors.

Sales are settled in cash at the point of sale, leaving

minimal debtors. The Group has adopted the simplified

approach to ECL (expected credit loss) in NZ IFRS 9:

Financial Instruments which apply to trade receivables

that are in the scope of IFRS 15. The impact is limited as

trade receivables are predominantly less than 30 days.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting

date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as

summarised in Note 4.

37

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

D) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s

approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its

liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking

damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity

profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following maturity analysis table sets out the remaining contractual undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SAVOR LIMITED

OPINION

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

on pages 22 to 38, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 March 2025, and the

consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of movements 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 22 to 38 present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025 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 are 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.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interest in, the Company or any of its

subsidiaries. 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.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

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

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

consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate

opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in

that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of

procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements.

The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the

basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Independent

Auditor’s Report

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report


GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

Why significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

• As at 31 March 2025, the Group has Goodwill of $20.7

million as disclosed in Note 8.

• Given the nature of the Group’s operations, each

of its venues are determined to be a separate

cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which goodwill is

allocated. To assess whether goodwill is impaired, the

recoverable amount of each CGU is determined each

reporting period by reference to valuations prepared

to assess their value-in-use using discounted cash

flow models (“DCF models”).

• DCF models contain significant judgement and

estimation in respect of future cash flow forecasts,

discount rate and terminal growth rate assumptions.

Changes in these key assumptions can lead to

significant changes in the assessment of the

recoverable amount and so the assessment of whether

goodwill is impaired or not.

Our audit procedures included:

• Obtained an understanding of the Group's goodwill

impairment assessment process.

• Assessed the Group's determination of CGUs based

on the nature of the Group's operations.

• Obtained the Group's DCF models and agreed the

forecasts within them to the Board approved forecasts.

• Assessed key inputs to the DCF models including

revenue and EBITDA margin forecasts, which were

compared to historical trading performance, discount

rates and terminal growth rates.

• Engaged our valuation specialists to assess the

Group's discount and terminal growth rates. Our

valuation specialists were also involved in assessing

the integrity of the DCF models.

• Performed sensitivity analysis for CGUs to assess the

potential impact of changes in key assumptions.

• Assessed the Group’s equity against market

capitalisation of the company.

• Assessed the appropriateness and adequacy of the

disclosures included in the notes to the financial

statements.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR’S REPORT

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual

report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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.

If, based upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible 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.

Savor Group 2025 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

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/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-

NZX Release

Savor 2025 Annual Results


22 May 2025

Savor Limited (NZX: SVR) (“Savor”, “the Company”, or with its subsidiaries “the Group”), New

Zealand’s premier hospitality group, presents its results for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.


Highlights:


• Savor’s operating earnings for FY25 were $7.3m, representing a net extraction rate of 13% a

considerable achievement given the market backdrop, and within 1% of the prior year.


• Savor’s revenue for the year was $56.6m, an 8% decline on the prior year, driven by reduced

foot traffic due to economic pressures, but supported by a consistent customer spend per

head. This represents a strong turnaround for the second half of the year, closing the gap from

15% down as reported in the half year results.


• Operating cash flow continued to be strong, with the Group recording $7.1m compared to

$6.4m in the prior year, an incre ase of 11%.


• Savor recorded a net loss after tax of $1.2m compared to a profit of $0.7m in the prior year,

primarily due to the one-time accounting write-off from the discontinued Seafarers operations.


• The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, finishing the year with net cash on hand of $1.8m

and maintained a ratio of net debt to operating earnings of less than 1 times.


These outcomes, achieved amidst rising costs and cautious consumer spending, underscore our

commitment to operational efficiency. The Group’s underlying operational improvements and asset

upgrades positions Savor for a strong recovery as market conditions improve.


The Group’s financial results continue to demonstrate our disciplined cost management efficiencies,

despite the continued challenging economic conditions. Through the continued daily management of

variable costs, the Group mitigated the impact of lower revenues while preserving the quality of our

customer experience.


Throughout the year, Savor has implemented a number of targeted initiatives to enhance our portfolio

and deepen customer engagement. The expiry of the Seafarers building lease in Britomart, the Savor

Food Festival, the upgrades to NSP, and the opening of the new Roukai Lane site in Se pte mbe r 2025 in

Britomart ensure quality and cost efficiency despite the risk of global tariff uncertainties, and position

Savor well in its efforts to maintain stable pricing for our customers and robust margins.



















Outlook


The trading environment remains uncertain, with economic pressures persisting domestically and

globally. However, Savor’s proven resilience, disciplined cost management, and strategic investments

position us to capitalize on emerging opportunities. We anticipate gradual relief in cost-of-living

pressures, enabling more customers to enjoy our exceptional dining experiences, particularly at our

new venues. Our strengthened balance sheet, with improved cash reserves and declining leverage,

provides flexibility to navigate challenges or pursue growth.



Commenting on the result, Savor’s CEO Lucien Law said:


“Despite challenging economic conditions, particularly in our sector, we delivered a strong $7.3m in

operating earnings, reflecting the resilience of our brands.


With the market stabilizing and our new bar and entertainment venue in Britomart under construction,

we’re looking forward to growth again.”



*Operating earnings means reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and restructuring

costs, as reported in the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.
