Chair Report
Our FY25 result demonstrates the value of EBOS’ portfolio, with
multiple growth levers and our ability to execute on near-term
growth objectives. Our balance sheet remains well positioned and
cash flow strength supports our future growth.
We again thank our more than 5,700 employees for their ongoing
commitment to the communities we serve across New Zealand,
Australia and Southeast Asia.
Healthcare Highlights
EBOS’ Healthcare segment performance was supported by
existing customer growth and new customer wins across our
pharmacy wholesale businesses, the continued expansion into
Southeast Asia, and community pharmacy store growth.
As business volumes adjust, our wholesale businesses have
prioritised customer growth, strengthening supply chain support
to existing customers, and driving operational efficiency through
investment in innovation to support long-term revenue growth.
In FY25, Symbion strengthened relationships with key independent
pharmacy networks across Australia, while in New Zealand
ProPharma expanded its reach by onboarding new community
pharmacy customers. EBOS Healthcare secured new partnerships
with leading healthcare providers, and Healthcare Logistics
broadened its portfolio by supporting the distribution of
innovative diagnostics, specialty medicines, and consumer health
products across New Zealand and Australia.
In December 2024, the Australian Government and the National
Pharmaceutical Services Association announced a new
$4.2 billion five-year agreement supporting sustainable funding
for the pharmaceutical wholesaling sector in Australia.
EBOS acknowledges the Federal Minister for Health and Aged
Care, Hon. Mark Butler MP and his department for addressing the
previous erosion in supply chain funding and acknowledging the
role EBOS plays as part of Australia’s healthcare system.
Our TerryWhite Chemmart (TWC) network delivered solid growth
and continued to expand its national footprint to 626 pharmacies,
reinforcing its position as one of Australia’s largest and most
trusted pharmacy networks.
TWC further demonstrated its leadership in health services, and
in FY25 launched a program to support pharmacists to become
qualified prescribers. The program allows pharmacists to safely
treat some health conditions and provide clinical services that
have typically been managed by a general practitioner.
These treatments, which include vaccinations, leave of absence
certificates and UTI treatments, have generated a year-on-
year increase in patient demand and underline the value and
convenience to customers of TWC’s CareClinics. The initiative
supports TWC’s long-term commitment to professional
development of its pharmacists and delivering expanded
healthcare options for its communities. We are particularly proud
of our TWC network’s role in vaccinating over 1 million Australians
during the year.
TWC has also continued to be a leader in digital solutions for
customers by expanding its e-commerce offering and investing
in innovation and technology to improve accessibility to everyday
healthcare needs for its network’s customers.
In March 2025, TWC’s Rewards Plus program was named Best
Loyalty Program Marketing Campaign at the Asia Pacific Loyalty
Awards, recognising the program’s success in helping pharmacies
build stronger customer connection with its 2.5 million Rewards
Plus members.
During the year, the opening of new warehouse facilities, some
with advanced automation technology, have further enhanced
our capacity to meet the evolving and changing dynamics of the
healthcare industry.
In December 2024, EBOS Healthcare relocated to a new 10,000m
2
site in South Dandenong, Victoria incorporating additional
capacity and enhanced capability for the business.
In February 2025, ProPharma moved into a new 11,300m
2
purpose-
built, temperature-controlled warehouse in Māngere, Auckland,
joining Healthcare Logistics and Onelink in a co-located precinct
of EBOS’ healthcare logistics businesses.
Officially opened by New Zealand’s Minister of Health Hon.
Simeon Brown, these facilities reflect EBOS’ extensive presence
and investment across the Australasian region and represent a
long-term commitment by EBOS to the health and wellbeing of
communities across New Zealand.
As Chair of EBOS Group, I am enormously proud of what has
been achieved within this healthcare precinct which is a powerful
showcase of our strategy to invest in, and grow, our businesses.
EBOS’ Medical Technology business increased its footprint in
Southeast Asia through strategic acquisitions, broadening an
already diverse portfolio of businesses with strong positions in
their respective markets.
Investment in new partnerships and technology further
contributed to the division’s overall growth and resilience and in
January 2025, EBOS completed the acquisition of the remaining
10% of Transmedic to increase our ownership to 100%. Transmedic
is one of Southeast Asia’s largest surgical technology and medical
device distributors, with a presence in seven countries across the
region.
These milestones reflect our strategic objective of increasing
Transmedic’s footprint in Southeast Asia, strengthening the
offering and the capabilities of our Medical Technology (MedTech)
business.
EBOS’ rich history is built on the events, people and achievements
of our diverse businesses; and few companies have had such
a profound and enduring impact on the Australian healthcare
landscape as Symbion. In May 2025, the business marked its 180
th
anniversary of pharmacy excellence which began when Francis
Hardy Faulding opened a retail pharmacy in Adelaide in 1845.
I am pleased to report on the 2025 financial year which highlights EBOS’ continued track record of strong revenue
growth and operational excellence.
As business volumes adjust, our wholesale
businesses have prioritised customer growth,
strengthening supply chain support to
existing customers, and driving operational
efficiency through investment in innovation
to support long-term revenue growth.

Chair Report continued
Today, Symbion has over 3,600 retail pharmacy customers,
1000+ hospital customers and operates nine warehouses
across Australia.
Symbion’s longevity is a testament to its commitment to its
pharmacy customers, including investing in new technologies and
solutions to support their needs and those of their patients.
Animal Care Highlights
EBOS’ Animal Care segment experienced another solid year,
reaffirming its commitment to delivering the very best care and
products to pets – at every stage of their life – through strategic
acquisitions and new partnerships in New Zealand and Australia.
The branded business delivered strong organic growth driven by
the leadership of Black Hawk and VitaPet products, including the
development of new products, and supported by enhanced
in-house manufacturing capabilities.
In March 2025, our Animal Care business acquired SVS Veterinary
Supplies Ltd (SVS), a full-service wholesaler of pet medicines and
related products to veterinary clinics and specialty retailers in
New Zealand.
The acquisition of SVS complements Lyppard, our leading
Australia-based veterinary wholesale business, creating
significant opportunity to share relationships and best practice
across both businesses - enhancing service to our customers and
their pet patients.
Further investment in Animal Care, and the opportunity to expand
its product offering, led to the more recent acquisition of Kiwi
Kitchens. Established in Christchurch, the brand is known for
creating premium food for cats and dogs, all formulated with a
focus on New Zealand-sourced proteins.
Kiwi Kitchens products are stocked in independent pet stores in
the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, providing a
platform for further expansion into these regions for the Animal
Care business and our growing portfolio of industry-leading
products.
Marketing activity and strategic partnerships continued to build
the presence of our Animal Care brands in the marketplace.
A particular highlight was Black Hawk becoming the official pet
food supplier to Guide Dogs Australia, supporting its invaluable
work helping thousands of Australians with low vision and
blindness lead a more accessible and fulfilled life. Since the start
of the partnership, Black Hawk has fed 900 dogs more than
120,000 kilograms of premium pet food.
As Guide Dogs Australia’s pet food partner, Black Hawk’s
high-quality products, made in-house at our Pet Care Kitchen in
New South Wales, will ensure all guide dogs receive the necessary
nutrients to thrive and perform their life-changing work.
Sustainability and Community
EBOS remains committed to sustainable development and
community engagement across the regions it operates in.
During the year, the Group advanced the planning for a 5MW
ground-mounted array at Parkes, New South Wales, which will
complement an existing 500kW installation. EBOS expanded
its longstanding partnership with not for profit organisation
Greenfleet, increasing our donations by 10% and also acquiring
land in South Gippsland, Victoria, for a reforestation initiative
scheduled to commence planting in early FY26. EBOS also remains
on track to transition over 95% of its grocery brand packaging to
recyclable materials by early 2026.
The safety and welfare of our employees is critical to our
continued success, and integral to this is the role performed by
our leaders in shaping the safety culture of our organisation.
Our group-wide Executive Leadership Safety Walks initiative
improves leadership visibility at our sites, enabling leaders to
better understand how workplace risks are being managed,
facilitating regular positive interactions between senior managers
and their teams, and identifying opportunities for improvement.
A new ‘Life Savers’ initiative has also been introduced that
reinforces minimum standards and appropriate controls for
reducing risk of injury or harm to workers undertaking high-risk
activities. The Life Savers were developed through consultation
with key stakeholders and will enhance the culture of health and
safety within our workplaces.
EBOS also continued to support various initiatives and
organisations aligned with our purpose of advancing
opportunities to enrich lives, this included strategic partnerships
with organisations such as Ovarian Cancer Australia, BackTrack,
LandSAR, and FightMND,
CEO Succession
Adam Hall commenced as EBOS’ CEO on 1 July 2025, following the
retirement of John Cullity on 30 June 2025.
Adam Hall is a highly accomplished global executive with a strong
track record in strategic growth, mergers and acquisitions and
operational excellence. Most recently, as Orica Limited’s Group
Executive and President – Asia, he successfully led significant
growth in earnings and scale, while driving innovation and
efficiency.
Board Renewal
Consistent with EBOS’ Board renewal process, Matt Muscio and
Coline McConville were appointed as non-executive directors
with effect from 1 January 2025 and 1 February 2025 respectively.
The appointments are consistent with EBOS’ Board succession
planning. EBOS has appointed five new Directors with a diverse
mix of skills, since July 2021. The Board now comprises seven
directors, six of which are independent.

EBOS thanks John Cullity
EBOS Group recognises the significant contribution of
outgoing Chief Executive Officer John Cullity who retired
on the 30 June 2025.
John joined Symbion as CFO in 2009 and was appointed
CEO of EBOS in 2018 helping to shape EBOS into the
company it is today – expanding our reach, strengthening
our businesses across New Zealand, Australia, and
Southeast Asia, and positioning us as a leader in
healthcare and animal care.
On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank John for his
outstanding contribution and wish him the very best in
his well-earned retirement.
Final Dividend
The Directors declared a final dividend of NZ 61.5 cents per share,
reflecting the Board’s confidence in the future growth of the
Group. This brings the full year dividend to NZ 118.5 cents per share
and implies a dividend payout ratio of 83.8% on an underlying
basis.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be operational for
the final dividend. Shareholders can elect to take shares in lieu
of a cash dividend at a discount of 2.5% to the volume weighted
average share price (VWAP).
The record date for the dividend is 5 September 2025 and the
dividend will be paid on 24 September 2025. The dividend will be
imputed to 25% for New Zealand tax resident shareholders and
fully franked for Australian tax resident shareholders.
Outlook
The outlook for both the Healthcare and Animal Care segments
is well positioned for long-term growth, with continued positive
healthcare and animal care industry trends supporting the
resilience of our businesses. Our portfolio is uniquely placed
through its leading brands and positions to capture the benefit
arising from these supportive trends.
Near-term macro pressures include a competitive wholesale
pharmacy environment, soft hospital capital spend and subdued
consumer sentiment impacting discretionary pet categories.
We will continue to deliver against our near-term strategic
priorities, providing profitable growth with a strong focus on
maintaining our EBITDA margins. In FY26, the Group is targeting
Underlying EBITDA of $615 – 635 million.
We again acknowledge the efforts and contribution of our over
5,700 employees across the regions where we operate and thank
our shareholders for their ongoing support.

CEO Perspectives
Dear Shareholders,
It’s an incredible honour and privilege to have been appointed
Chief Executive Officer of EBOS.
I want to sincerely thank the Board of Directors for entrusting me
to lead such an outstanding organisation and I look forward to
working closely with the Board as we shape the future of EBOS
together.
I would also like to thank my predecessor, John Cullity, who
helped build EBOS into the leading company it is today. Under his
stewardship, EBOS entered new markets, expanded its portfolio of
leading businesses, and delivered strong shareholder returns.
A culture that sets us apart
I have made it a priority in my first eight weeks at EBOS to visit
many of our operations in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast
Asia and engage with team members through meetings, site tours
and safety demonstrations.
As you can imagine, it’s been quite a whirlwind period however
throughout this short time with the Group one thing has stood out
above all – the extraordinary calibre of our people.
I have been impressed and inspired by their professionalism,
passion, knowledge, camaraderie and dedication to provide the
very best outcomes for our customers and the communities we
serve. If the success of a company is measured by the impact of its
people – it is easy to understand why EBOS has been successful.
The commitment of our people to excellence, their willingness to
embrace change, and their collaborative approach have not only
driven strong results but also defined a culture that is resilient,
inclusive, and forward-thinking.
It is this culture – and the people who live and breathe it –
that gives me enormous confidence in EBOS’ future.
In healthy shape
EBOS can look back on FY25, and forward to the next financial
year, with optimism.
Our portfolio is well positioned for long-term outperformance
through our exposure to attractive and growing industries, scale
and leading positions, and strong financial track record and
position. We have a distinct advantage in navigating change and
are well positioned to seize opportunities and execute on our
growth ambitions.
It is this that excites me about the future of EBOS.
In FY26 we expect there to be continued positive healthcare and
animal care industry trends underpinning growth. However, there
are several near-term macro pressures that the Group must
navigate through, including a competitive wholesale pharmacy
market, softer hospital environment and subdued consumer
sentiment in discretionary pet care.
Following the completion of the significant distribution centre
renewal program in FY26, the Company will have delivered
8 new sites and system enhancements over a four-year period
(FY23-FY26). At a total cost of approximately $360 million, the
renewal program will have delivered an additional ~20% net
increase in capacity, lowered its cost to serve, increased its
refrigeration footprint to enable GLP-1 customer growth, and
streamlined customer integration processes. This upcoming
financial year marks the conclusion of this renewal program.
Our bolt-on acquisition program has continued into FY26, with
the purchase of Next Generation Pet Food
1
, which expands our
Animal Care branded business into high growth premium air-dried
treats and enhances manufacturing capability. We will continue to
assess opportunities that align with our strategic objectives and
create value for shareholders.
In Q4 FY26 we will be hosting an investor day which will
provide deeper insights into strategic priorities and long-term
growth drivers. The event will also outline the Group’s capital
management framework, and future capital deployment priorities.
EBOS is a business with a long and proven track record of
delivering sustainable growth and creating long-term value for
shareholders, and I’m excited by what we can achieve in the future.

Symbion celebrates 180 years
Few companies have had such a profound and enduring impact on
the Australian healthcare landscape as Symbion.
In May 2025, the business marked its 180
th
anniversary of pharmacy
excellence which began when Francis Hardy Faulding opened a
retail pharmacy in Adelaide in 1845.
Symbion’s longevity is a testament to its strong commitment to its
pharmacy customers, including by investing in new technologies
and solutions to support their needs and those of their patients.
Today, Symbion has over 3,600 retail pharmacy customers,
1000+ hospital customers and operates 9 warehouses Australia-
wide which coordinate deliveries of over 16,500 product lines.
We were joined by past and present employees and customers
to celebrate Symbion’s 180
th
anniversary at an event held at the
National Wine Centre of Australia in Adelaide, a short distance
from the original Faulding pharmacy in Rundle Street. The evening
featured a special performance by renowned Australian operatic
soprano Greta Bradman. Ms Bradman’s grandfather and Australia’s
greatest ever cricketer, Sir Donald Bradman, was a director of
Faulding and Co from 1959 to 1966.
Customer wins
Our strategy to diversify revenue and secure new customers
generated excellent results in FY25 thanks to the significant efforts
of our team.
Amid a realignment of business volumes, our businesses have
redoubled their efforts in customer acquisition, enhancing supply
chain support to existing customers, and driving operational
efficiency through innovation and investment to support long-term
revenue growth.
In FY25, Symbion strengthened relationships with key independent
pharmacy networks, while ProPharma expanded its reach
by onboarding new community pharmacy customers. EBOS
Healthcare secured new partnerships with leading healthcare
providers, and Healthcare Logistics broadened its portfolio by
supporting the distribution of innovative diagnostics, specialty
medicines, and consumer health products across New Zealand
and Australia.
These new partnerships reflect the reputation of our business
and was supported by the continued growth of our TerryWhite
Chemmart, Pharmacy Choice® and healthSAVE pharmacies.
Optimisation of logistics and new warehouse facilities have
further cemented our capacity to meet the evolving and changing
dynamics of the healthcare industry.
First Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Agreement and renewed
Community Service Obligation Deed
In December 2024, the Australian Government and the National
Pharmaceutical Services Association announced a new five-year
agreement, worth $4.2 billion, supporting sustainable funding
for the pharmaceutical wholesaling sector in Australia.
By addressing the previous erosion of supply chain funding,
the agreement acknowledges the important role of companies such
as EBOS in Australia’s healthcare system.
On 30 June 2025 Symbion signed an agreement to continue providing
services under the Community Service Obligation (CSO) in Australia.
This ongoing commitment ensures that all Australians can continue
to access their PBS medicines quickly and reliably through
community pharmacies nationwide.
Stronger supply chain
EBOS has invested in a significant distribution centre renewal program
from FY23 completing in FY26. Once finished, the Group will have
delivered 8 new sites and system enhancements over a four-year period.
In December 2024, EBOS Healthcare relocated to a new 10,000m
2
site in
South Dandenong, Victoria incorporating new racking, a cool room, a vault
for high-value and scheduled medicines, and supporting office space.
In February 2025, ProPharma moved into a new 11,300m
2
purpose-built, temperature-controlled warehouse in Auckland,
which sets new standards in operational efficiencies and customer
experience in New Zealand.
At a total cost of approximately $360 million, the renewal program will
have delivered an additional ~20% net increase in capacity, lowered
its cost to serve, increased its refrigeration footprint to enable GLP-1
customer growth, and streamlined customer integration processes. This
upcoming financial year marks the conclusion of this renewal program.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
The TWC network continued its growth in CareClinic health
services, including vaccinations, leave-of-absence certificates,
UTI treatments, and oral contraceptive supply, with year-on-year
increases in patient demand. This coincided with the network
expanding its national footprint to 626 pharmacies, reinforcing its
position as one of Australia’s largest and most trusted pharmacy
networks.
Leadership in health services
TWC launched a program to support pharmacists to become
qualified prescribers, allowing them to provide the safe treatment
of some health conditions that have been typically managed by
general practitioners.
The initiative followed the successful rollout of the Queensland
Full Scope of Practice pilot program, which resulted in 80 TWC
pharmacists completing additional studies.
That number is expected to reach 150 by early 2026, supporting
TWC’s long-term commitment to professional development of its
pharmacists and delivering expanded healthcare options for its
communities.
In FY25, the TWC network continued to be the go-to provider for those
Australians who rely on their local pharmacies for flu vaccinations.
The TWC network provided over 21.5% of flu vaccinations
administered at pharmacies, driven by expanded CareClinic sites,
greater appointment availability and improved patient convenience
during the peak flu season.
Investment in education
In FY25, TWC’s Masterclass Intern Program launched nationally,
further supporting the future of Australian pharmacy and TWC’s
talent pipeline.
The program included in-person and online education for intern
pharmacists, with live interactive webinars, real-world case studies,
exam support and preceptor resources.
Developed by pharmacists for pharmacists, the program builds on
existing intern training through practical insights and leadership-
focussed content.
Enhancing customer convenience
TWC has continued to be a leader in digital solutions for customers
by expanding its e-commerce offering and investing in innovation
and technology to improve accessibility to everyday healthcare
needs for its network’s customers:
• In FY25, over 1.2 million orders were placed through the myTWC
app with new features enhancing script management, in-store
efficiency, and patient engagement.
• The network expanded its partnership with a global online
ordering and delivery service, allowing customers to order
non-scheduled products via the service’s app, extending TWC’s
reach to people who prefer the convenience of online shopping.
• Electronic shelf label technology was installed in over 50
pharmacies, with plans for 50 more sites in the first half of FY26,
supporting our network partner’s operational efficiency and
allowing pharmacists and their teams to dedicate more time to
their customers.
TWC’s refreshed Rewards Plus program was named Best Loyalty
Program Marketing Campaign at the Asia Pacific Loyalty Awards in
March. The accolade recognised the program’s success in helping
pharmacies build stronger customer connection through trust, care
and great service. The TWC Rewards Plus program now has over
2.5 million members accessing great value benefits.
TerryWhite Chemmart (TWC) delivered solid growth across front-of-store and prescriptions with like-for-like
network sales increasing by 8.5% in FY25.

Pioneering a new era in toothpaste manufacturing
Red Seal has recently commissioned new toothpaste
manufacturing equipment to scale up toothpaste production
and meet a growing demand in New Zealand and overseas.
The state-of-the-art technology, with the capability to produce
over 1 million tubes of toothpaste per month, demonstrates a
continued commitment to manufacturing quality, New Zealand

Significant toothpaste growth across ANZ and internationally
Red Seal’s commitment to providing effective oral care options
of NATRUE® certified toothpaste has resonated strongly with
consumers who are increasingly seeking out products that align
with their health and wellbeing values.
While the brand’s products continued to solidify their market
presence, Red Seal Baking Soda toothpaste was a particular
standout in FY25 with very strong growth in Australia following
expanded distribution in the grocery channel.
Red Seal Baking Soda toothpaste is also making strides
internationally, particularly through its performance on online
platforms in the USA.
Community engagement
Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest female cancer, underscoring
the importance of support and funding through long-term
community partnerships.
In FY25, TWC proudly marked two decades of partnership with
Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) by raising over $450,000 through
coordinated campaigns across its pharmacy network, supplier
partners and support teams.
Those funds took the total of TWC’s fundraising to more than
$2.7 million since the partnership with OCA began 20 years ago.
As the Principal Partner of OCA, TWC is committed to continuing
the legacy of support while striving for even greater impact in the
fight against ovarian cancer.
TWC also reaffirmed its partnership with Sanofi and its Return of
Unwanted Medicines (RUM) program. With the goal to reduce the
environmental impact of unwanted or out-of-date medications, this
collaboration resulted in TWC doubling the number of RUM bins
collected across its network.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
Healthcare Highlights
EBOS Medical Technology
The business increased its footprint in Southeast Asia through
strategic acquisitions, broadening an already diverse portfolio
of businesses with strong positions in their respective industries.
Investment in new partnerships and technology further contributed
to the division’s overall growth and resilience.
Transmedic ownership transition
In January 2025, EBOS completed the acquisition of 100%
of Transmedic, one of Southeast Asia’s largest surgical technology
and medical device distributors, with a presence in seven countries
across the region.
The Group acquired an initial 51% interest in Transmedic as
part of the LifeHealthcare acquisition in May 2022 and lifted its
shareholding to 90% in FY24.
This milestone supports our strategic objective of increasing
Transmedic’s footprint in Southeast Asia, strengthening the offering
and the capabilities of our MedTech business.
Founded in 1980, Transmedic has long-standing partnerships
with global medical device manufacturers and specialises
in key therapeutic areas including orthopaedics, cardiology,
ophthalmology, oncology, blood management, and invitro
diagnostics among others.
Transmedic continued to deliver double-digit growth in FY25,
with revenue and earnings growing year-on-year, reflecting
sustained demand across its core specialties and successful
execution of regional growth initiatives.
Strengthening our orthopaedic offering in Southeast Asia
Transmedic has enhanced its orthopaedic credentials in Southeast
Asia with the recent acquisitions of Malaysia-based Malex Medical
Asia, and Pacific Surgical in the Philippines. Combined, these two
distributors have decades of experience in orthopaedic medical
device distribution and sports medicine solutions.
Malex Medical and Pacific Surgical’s integration into Transmedic
will support the introduction of the orthopaedic sports medicine
offering into Indonesia, utilising it’s already strong infrastructure
and experience in orthopaedics in Indonesia from its presence in
orthopaedic trauma and spine.
Demand for orthopaedic devices is increasing in Southeast Asia
due to an ageing population, change in the economic accessibility
to healthcare, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and increased
healthcare awareness. These acquisitions reinforce Transmedic’s
position as a leading provider of specialised surgical technologies
in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
Forging a new frontier in tumour treatment
EBOS MedTech secured an exclusive distribution agreement to
bring ground-breaking histotripsy technology to the Asia Pacific
region.
Histotripsy is an innovative non-invasive therapy that has the
ability to mechanically destroy liver tumours, at the sub-cellular
level without heat, radiation or incisions.
Developed by the University of Michigan, the novel therapy is a
promising alternative to traditional treatment of tumours and has
significant potential.
EBOS MedTech will introduce the technology across key markets,
with Transmedic leading distribution in Singapore, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong,
and LifeHealthcare managing distribution in New Zealand and
Australia.
Advancing innovation with Acellular Dermal Matrix
Australian Biotechnologies continues to expand its impact with the
successful launch of its Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) graft.
This advanced allograft tissue is now being used in orthopaedics
and oral maxillofacial surgeries, since its initial adoption in plastic
and reconstructive procedures.
ADM is commonly used for soft tissue repair with typical
applications including breast reconstruction, abdominal wall repair
and other complex surgical procedures.
It offers a cleaner, more versatile graft option with key advantages
including freeze-drying for off-the-shelf storage, easier surgical
handling and the potential for improved clinical outcomes.
Reflecting its ongoing commitment to innovation, Australian
Biotechnologies is investing in research and development in
partnership with the University of New South Wales and major
Australian hospitals.
EBOS Medical Technology (EBOS MedTech) remains committed to delivering practical, high-quality solutions that
enhance patient outcomes throughout New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

Animal Care Highlights
It was another successful period for EBOS’ Animal Care segment with its dedication to delivering the very best
care and products to precious pets – at every stage of their life – being reinforced through strategic acquisitions
and new partnerships in New Zealand and Australia.
Welcome Kiwi Kitchens
EBOS Animal Care’s strategy to expand its product offering has
been strengthened with the acquisition of Kiwi Kitchens.
Established in Christchurch, the brand is known for creating
premium products for cats and dogs all formulated with a focus
on New Zealand sourced proteins.
Kiwi Kitchens products are stocked in independent pet stores in
the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand providing a
platform for further growth into these regions for the Animal Care
business and our growing portfolio of industry-leading products.
Expanding vet wholesale business in New Zealand
In line with our strategy of investing for growth, our Animal Care
business acquired SVS Veterinary Supplies (SVS) in March 2025.
Founded in 1987, SVS is a leading full-service wholesaler of pet
medicines and related products to over 500 veterinary clinics and
specialty retailers in New Zealand and supplies a comprehensive
suite of products for companion and large animals.
The acquisition of SVS, which has over 100 employees in Hamilton,
Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch, is a logical addition
to our existing Animal Care business, which includes Lyppard,
a leading veterinary wholesale business in Australia.
We see significant opportunity to share relationships and best
practice across both businesses further enhancing service to our
customers and their pet patients.
Black Hawk partners with iconic Australian charity
Black Hawk has become the official pet food supplier to Guide Dogs
Australia under a three-year partnership, supporting the invaluable
work of one of Australia’s most trusted charities.

EBOS has aligned with various professional organisations in

Business Overview

Quality
EBOS is a diverse business with many external business partners.
We focus on meeting the various service expectations of customers
and suppliers, as well as regulators, consumers and other external
parties. In addition to ensuring regulatory requirements, we adopt
internationally recognised standards such as Quality Management
Standard (QMS): ISO 9001 where we seek accreditation.
Supply Chain Management
EBOS primarily provides wholesale and distribution services acting
as an intermediary between suppliers and business users, including
pharmacies, healthcare institutions, veterinarian clinics and
other professional care providers. Our supply chain incorporates
many local and international suppliers across various areas of our
business. Brands under Animal Care and Endeavour Consumer
Health also source ingredients for manufacturing selected own-
brand products.
Our core business offering is to aggregate and supply healthcare
and animal care products, thereby simplifying the lives of our
customers so they can focus on what they do best. The Group’s
gross operating revenue (GOR) is derived predominantly from
providing wholesale, distribution and contract logistics services
as well as franchisor income.
The Group’s remaining GOR is derived from EBOS own-brand
products we create, including pet food and treats, vitamins,
medicines, over-the-counter (OTC) products, medical consumables,
medication aids and software solutions. These products are
developed, processed or manufactured by the Group, or sourced
under licence or contract manufactured.
Ethical Sourcing Strategy
EBOS’ Ethical Sourcing Strategy sets out the steps for
implementation of effective and appropriate ethical sourcing
programs. This includes risk assessments using due diligence tools,
standard operating procedures, and reporting templates. Focus
areas of the strategy include managing modern slavery risks and
legal and regulatory compliance.
Data Security & Privacy
Data security and privacy is a shared responsibility across EBOS
led by the Cyber Security & Privacy Steering Committee and
overseen by the Board. The Group’s work aligns with the NIST
(National Institutes of Standards and Technologies) framework,
and seventeen business units have received certification for ISO
27001, which is the globally recognised standard for information
security management systems.
In FY25, we continued to invest in uplifting the Group’s security
posture, including data governance and security incident and
event management.
Keeping medicines moving when it matters most
Our healthcare business Symbion is proud to support local
pharmacies who are the backbone of local communities in times
of crisis. During the February 2025 flood emergency in Far North
Queensland, the Symbion team overcame a series of operational
challenges. Customer service teams coordinated with the SES,
police, freight forwarders and pharmacies to ensure critical
medicines were delivered to where they were needed most.
All warehouses remained fully operational utilising backup power.
In anticipation of Cyclone Alfred in March 2025, our businesses in
the region activated a range of measures to safeguard operations.
This meant only minor damage was sustained and businesses
could resume normal operations after a short precautionary
closure leading up to the cyclone’s landfall.
In May 2025, severe flooding hit New South Wales Mid North Coast
and Hunter Valley. Despite inaccessible areas, our teams relocated
orders to facilities in Brisbane and worked with emergency services
to deliver supplies to pharmacies with blocked road access while
our other teams swiftly re-routed services and boosted direct driver
runs to ensure critical supplies reached hospitals.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
Climate-related Disclosures
We published the Group’s inaugural Climate Statement in October
2024. This report containing comprehensive disclosures on the
Group’s climate risks, opportunities, and impacts is available at
www.ebosgroup.com/sustainability/climate-statement. Our 2025
Climate Statement will be published in September.
The Group has established targets for certain Scope 1 and Scope 2
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reductions. We continued to focus
on reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. We largely completed the
transition to electric Materials Handling Equipment (MHE), phasing
out a small number of forklift trucks fitted with combustion engines.
Some units remain due to recent acquisitions. Additionally, we are
implementing a policy progressively phasing out fleet vehicles
solely relying on combustion engines, with electric and plugin
hybrid alternatives, where practical.
Since FY24, the Group has acquired New Zealand Renewable
Energy Certificates (RECs) which match the amount of electricity
consumed by the Group in New Zealand resulting in zero reported
GHG emissions for New Zealand.
Greenfleet partnership
EBOS continues to enjoy a long standing partnership with not-
for-profit environmental organisation, Greenfleet. Since 2007,
we have offset a significant share of outbound freight emissions
from our operations by donating over $2.4 million in support of
Greenfleet’s important work to revegetate native landscapes and
restore biodiverse habitats. In FY25, we increased our donation to
Greenfleet by a further 10%.
Reforestation project
In FY25, EBOS made progress towards establishing our own
reforestation project that will be implemented and managed by
Greenfleet. We purchased a property in South Gippsland, Victoria
with a potential planting area of approximately 94 hectares.
The site is located in the vicinity of protected native forests and
South Gippsland is home to koala populations, including Strzelecki
Koalas that descend from Victoria’s original koala gene pool.
Track works commenced in March 2025 to facilitate access to
the property. We are now working on boundary fencing and weed
management with a view to starting new planting of native tree
species in early FY26.
Solar array
The Group continues to work towards generating renewable
electricity equivalent to the forecasted electricity consumption
of our Australian operations. The Group operates a 500kW roof-
mounted solar array at Parkes, New South Wales and in FY25 we
continued development planning for the next stage of the project,
an approximately 5MW ground-mounted solar array at the site with
construction expected to commence in FY26. The second stage of
the solar array project will be an additional ground-mounted solar
array with approximately 6MW capacity and we continue to engage
with regulators on these subsequent works.
At the commencement of the project, the Group anticipated that
it would require solar arrays with approximately 18.8MW capacity
delivered in three stages of approximately 6MW each to generate
sufficient renewable electricity to meet its FY27 demands. During
the year, we reviewed our electricity demand forecast for our
Australian operations, incorporating the energy efficiency of newly
commissioned facilities, initiatives to reduce consumption in existing
sites and other considerations. This latest forecast indicates that the
third and final stage of the solar array may not be required to meet
our target. While the Group continues to monitor demand forecasts,
it has paused progressing the third stage.

Community investment
EBOS supports a range of charities and social enterprises who do
wonderful work across our communities.
EBOS is proud to support the following organisations:
Electricity efficiency program
In FY25 we completed a revised Energy Reduction Plan aimed at
further decreasing our grid-supplied electricity consumption. This
Plan focusses on sites with the highest energy use or intensity, such
as usage per square metre or unit output. Identified opportunities
include increasing onsite solar electricity generation, optimising
HVAC and refrigeration equipment, and enhancing the efficiency of
machinery and automation systems.
In FY25 we achieved a 12.33% grid-purchased electricity efficiency
improvement per square metre against the FY21 baseline. The
improvements are primarily from opening new, more efficient,
facilities and closing less energy-efficient facilities and we expect
the result to progressively improve as new facilities become
operational.
30
EBOS Annual Report 2025
Sustainable cold chain solutions (Symbion)
Symbion is reducing reliance on polystyrene eskys. In some
locations they have been replaced by refrigerated containers,
but this is not always possible. Consequently, Symbion has
partnered with an industry innovator to introduce a new self-
contained cold chain delivery solution consisting of an insulating
liner in a cardboard carton. Following completion of a successful
pilot project at its South Australian distribution facility, Symbion will
roll out the new packaging in Northern Territory and Tasmania.
New packaging technologies (Onelink)
Onelink has been working on several innovations to improve the
sustainability of packaging for distribution of medical consumables
to New South Wales public hospitals. New carton technology and
efficient cubic-shaped design reduces the amount of packaging
materials by fitting more in each box. Plastic liners have also
been replaced with a compostable alternative that has been
specially treated to accelerate biodegradation in microbe-rich
environments.
Sustainable Packaging
Product packaging has complex lifecycle impacts that contribute
to climate change and other social and environmental concerns.
EBOS’ Sustainable Packaging Committee coordinates the work
of participating businesses to minimise packaging waste and
optimise the value of associated materials in the circular economy.
The Group’s sustainable packaging initiative encompasses
packaging research & development, design, procurement, and
manufacturing over which the Group has management control,
including reducing use of single-use plastics throughout our supply
chains in New Zealand and Australia.
Our target is to transition our grocery brand packaging to
recyclable (and therefore more sustainable) alternatives by the
end of 2025 and other own-brand products by the end of 2027.
Over 95%
1
of our grocery brand products will be using recyclable
packaging, with products progressively entering the market in the
new packaging as we run down existing stocks.
VitaPet
We have made significant progress in converting the product
packaging of our grocery brand VitaPet to recyclable, reusable,
or compostable alternatives, in line with Australian Packaging
Covenant Organisation (APCO) guidelines. This new sustainable
packaging design is easier to recycle and produces a higher quality
recycled product after reprocessing. Introduction of single polymer
laminate packs have also been scheduled for VitaPet food and
other product lines. When completed next year, this transition
project will displace approximately 150 tonnes of currently
non-recoverable packaging.
Red Seal
All Red Seal product packaging has been reviewed and packaging
has been replaced with recyclable materials, except for some
miscellaneous items such as labels and certain moisture
management materials related to product quality, including
desiccants, seals, and envelopes. These items account for less
than 10% of the packaging for these products, and we are actively
exploring recyclable alternatives. Although Red Seal product caps
and lids are made from recyclable materials, recent changes in
New Zealand kerbside recycling regulations currently prevent their
recycling. Caps and lids in the New Zealand market represents
under 3% of Red Seal’s total product packaging.
Other brands
Packaging for our other grocery brands, Quitnits, Anti-flamme
and Gran’s Remedy, is now largely recyclable with the exception of
caps and lids due to New Zealand kerbside recycling regulations,
and where complex cap types are required for functionality, such
as spray nozzles and foam pumps. We will continue to explore
sustainable options for these items.
Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation
In FY25, four EBOS businesses submitted action plans and
performance reports to APCO covering the 2024 calendar year.

Driving diversity and inclusion initiatives
We are committed to gender equality and creating a positive
environment where all employees feel empowered and supported.
To mark International Women’s Day, we launched our updated
Domestic and Family Violence Policy to raise awareness and
highlight the support that is offered by EBOS. Various EBOS sites
also organised a clothing drive in support of Dress for Success,
a charity committed to helping unemployed and underemployed
women achieve economic independence.
Domestic and Family Violence Policy
In FY25, we updated and enhanced our policy setting out various
forms of confidential and non-judgemental support available to
employees in New Zealand and Australia who are experiencing
domestic and family violence, as well as those supporting affected
family members. This includes special leave for legal, medical, or
relocation needs, financial assistance, flexible work arrangements,
workplace safety planning and referral, and counselling services for
those experiencing domestic and family violence.
New Zealand Parental Leave Policy
In early 2025, we launched a new Parental Leave Policy for
employees in New Zealand seeking support to take time out from
work to raise their families. Expanding on statutory entitlements,
eligible employees can benefit from enhanced benefits for both
partners and primary carers.
First Nations employment program (Symbion)
Symbion has partnered with a labour hire provider to develop and
deliver its First Nations employment program, providing stable
work, training and a pathway for career progression in Supply
Chain and Logistics. The pilot program concluded in January 2025
with graduates securing sustainable employment within Symbion.
A second cohort of trainees commenced the program in the first
half of FY26.
EBOS Life Savers
Eight “Life Savers” standards have been introduced reinforcing
minimum standards and appropriate controls for reducing risk of
injury or harm to workers undertaking high-risk activities. The Life
Savers were developed through consultation with key stakeholders
and will enhance the culture of health and safety within our
workplaces.
Executive Leadership Safety Walks
People leaders play a critical role in shaping the safety culture of
our organisation. Our Group-wide Executive Leadership Safety
Walks initiative improves leadership visibility at our sites, enabling
leaders to better understand how workplace risks are being
managed, facilitating regular positive interactions between senior
managers and their teams, and identifying opportunities for
improvement.
Profile of our People
In FY25, the Group’s total employee headcount expanded to 5,770. As our workforce continues to grow, so does the potential for positive
contributions to our people, their families and local communities through fair employment practices, training, and career development
opportunities.

Return on Capital Employed for June 2025 was 13.0%, 20 basis
points lower than June 2024
1
.
The Net Debt: EBITDA ratio at 30 June 2025 was 1.92x, which is a slight
increase on the 1.89x reported in the prior corresponding period.
Acquisitions
Consistent with our strategy of investing for growth, since
July 2024 we have completed five acquisitions
2, 3
, including
the remaining 10% interest in Transmedic, two small bolt-on
acquisitions within our Medical Technology business, and two
acquisitions in Animal Care.
Dividends
The Directors are pleased to declare a final FY25 dividend of
NZ 61.5 cents per share, which equates to a full year dividend of
NZ 118.5 cents per share. This represents a dividend payout ratio
of 83.8%.
The record date for the final dividend is 5 September 2025 and the
dividend will be paid on 24 September 2025. The final dividend will
be imputed to 25% for New Zealand tax resident shareholders and
will be fully franked for Australian tax resident shareholders. The
Group’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be operational for
the upcoming final dividend. Shareholders can elect to take shares
in lieu of a cash dividend at a discount of 2.5% to the volume
weighted average share price.
Outlook
Our portfolio is well positioned for long-term growth with
continued positive healthcare and animal care industry trends
supporting the resilience of our businesses. Near-term macro
pressures include a competitive wholesale pharmacy environment,
soft hospital capital spend and subdued consumer sentiment
impacting discretionary pet categories.
In FY26, the Group is targeting Underlying EBITDA of $615 – 635
million, reflecting ~7% midpoint growth, with positive contributions
from both the Healthcare and Animal Care segments.
In FY26, we expect capital expenditure of approximately
$130 – 140 million, marking the successful completion of our major
distribution centre renewal program. In future years, annual
capital expenditure should be approximately 30% lower, on a
comparable basis. Underlying depreciation and amortisation
is expected to be approximately $140 – 150 million, reflecting
the investments we’ve made in recent years and the increased
capacity of our expanded distribution centres.
Leverage remains within targeted range, with headroom to
fund growth initiatives from existing liquidity and balance sheet
capacity. Net finance costs are expected to be approximately $110
– 120 million, assuming no additional debt funding requirements.
The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 28%.
In Q4 FY26, the Group will host an investor day which will
provide deeper insights into strategic priorities and long-term
growth drivers. The event will also outline the Group’s capital
management framework and future capital deployment priorities.

Business Overview
Reconciliation of Statutory to Underlying Results
This Annual Report contains a number of non-GAAP financial
measures to reflect our underlying financial performance.
Because they are not defined by GAAP or IFRS, EBOS’ calculation
of these measures may differ from similarly titled measures
presented by other companies and they should not be considered
in isolation from, or construed as an alternative to, other financial
measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Although
EBOS believes they provide useful information in measuring the
financial performance and condition of EBOS' business, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP
financial measures.
FY25 and FY24 Underlying earnings exclude one-off M&A
transaction costs, non-recurring restructuring and site transition
costs and the amortisation (non-cash) expense attributable to
acquisition PPA of finite life intangible assets. To provide a like-
for-like comparison to the prior corresponding period, where
applicable, this table includes comparisons against underlying
earnings exclusive of the estimated earnings from the Chemist
Warehouse Australia (CWA) contract for the 30 June 2024 period.
The following tables provide reconciliations between Statutory
and Underlying for the Group results and the Healthcare and
Animal Care Segments. Figures in the following tables are subject
to rounding and totals may not precisely sum across all line items.

Directors’ Responsibility Statement
The Directors of EBOS Group Limited are pleased to present to
shareholders the financial statements of EBOS Group Limited
and its controlled entities (together the “Group”) for the year
ended 30 June 2025.
The Directors are responsible for presenting financial statements
in accordance with New Zealand law and generally accepted
accounting practice, which fairly present the financial position of
the Group as at 30 June 2025 and the results of their operations
and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
The Directors consider the financial statements of the Group
have been prepared using accounting policies 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 believe that proper accounting records have been
kept which enable with reasonable accuracy, the determination
of the financial position of the Group and facilitate compliance
of the financial statements with the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013.
The Directors consider that they have taken adequate steps to
safeguard the assets of the Group, and to prevent and detect
fraud and other irregularities. Internal control procedures are
also considered to be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
as to the integrity and reliability of the financial statements.
The financial statements are signed on behalf of the Board by:

EBOS Annual Report 2025
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of EBOS Group Limited (the ‘Company’) and its
subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2025, and the
consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including
material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 42 to 93, present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2025, and its consolidated
financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents
to IFRS Accounting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) as issued by the External Reporting Board and IFRS Accounting
Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International
Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
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 the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, except that partners and employees of our firm deal with the Company and its subsidiaries on
normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Audit Materiality
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements
of the Group that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also
assess whether other matters that come to our attention during the audit would in our judgement change or
influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in planning the
scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be $15m.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders

Financial Statements
Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Asset Impairment Assessment
The Group has $2,245m of goodwill and $204m of indefinite life
intangible assets, including brands of $177m, on the balance sheet
at 30 June 2025, as detailed in note B1 to the financial statements.
The carrying values of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
are dependent on the future cash flows expected to be generated
by the underlying businesses, and there is a risk if these cash flows
do not meet the Group’s expectations that the assets may be
impaired.
The Group tests goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets at
least annually by determining the recoverable amount (the higher
of value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell) of the individual
assets where possible, or otherwise the cash generating units to
which the assets belong and comparing the recoverable amounts
of the assets to their carrying values.
The impairment assessment models prepared by the Group
contain a number of significant assumptions. Changes in these
assumptions might lead to a change in the carrying value of
indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill.
The Group has assessed the recoverable amount of each cash
generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs to which goodwill and
indefinite life intangibles have been allocated based on value-
in-use models. The key assumptions applied in the value-in-use
models are:
• annual revenue and expense growth rates for the five year
forecast period;
• pre-tax discount rates; and
• terminal growth rates.
We have included the impairment assessments of goodwill and
indefinite life intangible assets as a key audit matter due to the
significance of the balances to the financial statements and the
level of judgement applied by the Group in determining the key
assumptions used to determine the recoverable amounts.
We considered whether the Group’s methodology for assessing
impairment is compliant with NZ IAS 36: Impairment of Assets.
We focused on testing and challenging the suitability of the models
and reasonableness of the assumptions used by the Group in
conducting its impairment reviews.
We also determined those CGU’s which have an increased
impairment risk based on future growth rates, levels of headroom
(value-in-use over carrying value) or where there have been
significant changes in operational performance in the year.
Our procedures included:
• agreeing future cash flows to Board approved forecasts;
• challenging the reliability of the Group’s revenue and expense
growth rates for selected CGU’s by comparing the forecasts
underlying the growth rates to historical forecasts and actual
results of the underlying businesses (where applicable); and
• assessing the reasonableness of key assumptions and changes
to them from previous years.
We used our internal valuation specialists to assist with
evaluating the models and challenging the Group’s key
assumptions. The procedures of the specialists included:
• evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodology;
• testing the mathematical integrity of the models;
• evaluating the Group’s determination of the pre-tax discount
rates used in the models through consideration of the relevant risk
factors for each CGU, the cost of capital for the Group, and market
data on comparable businesses; and
• comparing the terminal growth rates to market data for a sample
of industry sectors.
We evaluated the sensitivity analysis performed by management
to consider the extent to which a change in one or more of the
key assumptions could give rise to impairment in the goodwill and
indefinite life intangible assets.

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Acquisitions
The Group completed three material business combinations
during the period as detailed in Note B2. These acquisitions had a
combined consideration of $203m, with the Group recognising total
goodwill of $169m which includes the acquisitions noted above.
We have included these acquisitions as a key audit matter due to
the significance of the balances involved, and the subjectivity and
complexity inherent in the application of the requirements of NZ
IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
Due to the timing of the acquisitions, detailed valuations to
determine the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities
acquired has been completed in relation to the acquisition
of Pacific Surgical Inc. The acquisition balance sheet for the
remaining acquisitions were determined on a provisional basis as
at 30 June 2025.
The determination of acquisition accounting involves judgement in
the following areas;
• The valuation of the consideration transferred including
contingent consideration;
• The identification and valuation of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at acquisition date; and
• The measurement of any acquired put and call options in relation
to non-controlling interests.
Our procedures, included:
• Obtaining an understanding of the key terms and conditions of
each acquisition by reading the sale and purchase agreements and
supporting documents and through discussions with key personnel;
• Evaluating the measurement of the consideration transferred
including contingent consideration by testing the mathematical
accuracy of the underlying calculation, agreeing the financial
projections prepared to the specific financial period specified in
the agreement and analysing the key assumptions adopted by
the Group;
• Assessing the Group’s progress to identify and value intangible
assets acquired as separate to goodwill for finalised acquisitions,
and agreeing key assumptions to supporting documentation;
• Recomputing the resulting goodwill to be recognised on acquisition;
• Challenging the Group’s measurement of any put and call options
related to non-controlling interests; and
• Evaluating the adequacy of disclosures relating to the acquisition in
the consolidated financial statements.

Other information
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information comprises
the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the audit
report. The Climate Statement which will be issued in September, 2025 as outlined on page 28 in the Annual
Report and is expected to be made available to us after the date of the audit 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.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact.
When we read the Climate Statement, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to directors and consider further actions.
Directors’
responsibilities for the
consolidated financial
statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s
responsibilities
for the audit of the
consolidated financial
statements
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 ISAs and ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located on
the External Reporting Board’s website at:

EBOS Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
Introducing this report
The notes to the financial statements include information that is considered relevant and material to assist the reader in the understanding
of the financial performance and financial position of EBOS Group Limited and its controlled entities (together “the Group” or “EBOS”).
Information is considered relevant and material if:
• the amount is significant because of its size and nature;
• it is important to assist the readers understanding of the results of EBOS;
• it helps to explain to the reader the changes in the business and/or operations of EBOS; or
• it relates to an aspect of operations that is important to the future performance of EBOS.
EBOS Group Limited (‘the Company’) is a profit-oriented company incorporated in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993
and dual listed on both the New Zealand Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(‘GAAP’). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to IFRS
Accounting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) as issued by the External
Reporting Board and IFRS Accounting Standards (‘IFRS’)
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
for profit-oriented entities.
EBOS is a Tier 1 for-profit entity in terms of the New Zealand
External Reporting Board Standard A1.
The Company is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes
of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, and its financial
statements comply with this Act.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis
of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain
financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair value of the
consideration given in exchange for assets.
The information is presented in thousands of Australian
dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies
and the application of accounting standards, EBOS has
made a number of judgements and estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are based
on historic experience and various other factors that are
considered to be appropriate under the circumstances.
Therefore, there is an inherent risk that actual results may
subsequently differ from the estimates made.
These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised
if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future periods.
Judgements and estimates that are considered material to
understanding the performance of EBOS are found in the
relevant notes to the financial statements. Key judgements
have been made in regard to assumptions that support
the impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite life
intangibles (note B1) and business combination accounting
(note B2 and note F3).

Financial Statements
Introducing this report continued
Basis of consolidation
The Group’s financial statements comprise the financial
statements of EBOS Group Limited, the parent company,
combined with all the entities that comprise the Group,
being its subsidiaries (listed in note F1) and its share of
associate investments (listed in note F2). The financial
statements of the members of the Group, including
associates, are prepared for the same reporting period as
the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are consolidated on the date on which control
is obtained to the date on which control is lost.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in the Consolidated Income
Statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to
the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances
are eliminated on consolidation.
Adopting of new and revised standards and interpretations
The Group has adopted all new accounting standards
that have become effective during the current year. The
adoption of these new standards has had no impact upon
these financial statements.
In May 2024, the New Zealand Accounting Standards
Board (NZASB) approved NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and
Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18) for application
by Tier 1 and Tier 2 for-profit entities preparing financial
statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January
2027. IFRS 18 changes how entities present the primary
financial statements and make disclosures in the notes to
the financial statements. The transition provisions of IFRS 18
require retrospective application. The Group is continuing
to assess the full impact of adopting IFRS 18.
Foreign currency
Functional currency
The financial statements of each of the Group’s entities
are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates (“the functional
currency”).
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rate on the date
of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, monetary
assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the
balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of
monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items,
are included in the Consolidated Income Statement for
the period.
Foreign operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of EBOS’
overseas operations are translated at the exchange rate
at the reporting date. Income and expense items are
translated at the average rates for the period. Exchange
differences arising are recognised in the foreign currency
translation reserve (in equity) and recognised in profit or
loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the
acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets
and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the
exchange rate at the reporting date.
Other accounting policies
Other accounting policies that are relevant to the
readers understanding of the financial statements are
included throughout the following notes to the financial
statements.

Animal Care 673,436 579,044
12,266,898 13,189,054
Recognition and measurement
Community Pharmacy and Institutional Healthcare
Revenue is derived from the supply of human healthcare products to pharmacies, hospitals, aged care facilities, supermarkets
and other healthcare providers in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia markets. This includes the supply of agency
products and EBOS’ own branded human healthcare products distributed by the Group’s branded distribution businesses.
Following delivery of the goods, the customer obtains control as it has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to
sell the goods, has the primary responsibility when on selling the goods and bears the risks of loss in relation to the goods.
A receivable is recognised by the Group when it passes control of the goods, which is when the goods are delivered to the customer
as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is
required before payment is made.
The transaction price may be adjusted for customers who pay their account in full, earlier than what standard credit terms
would require, or for incremental costs incurred in obtaining a sales contract which are recognised over the contractual period.
Under the Group’s standard terms with customers, product returns, refunds and provision for warranties are in accordance with
local requirements. Accumulated experience has been used to determine that such returns are not significant.
Section Overview
This section explains the financial performance of EBOS by:
a) displaying additional information about individual items in the Consolidated Income Statement;
b) presenting further analysis of EBOS’ operating segments by revenue and expenses; and
c) providing an analysis of the components of EBOS’ tax balances for the year and the current imputation credit
account balance.

Financial Statements
A1. Revenue and expenses continued
(a) Revenue continued
Recognition and measurement
Contract Logistics
Sales: Sales consist of the sale of human healthcare
products to a wide range of healthcare customers
(wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals and medical centres),
in accordance with agreed terms with the customer.
A receivable is recognised by the Group when it passes
control of the goods, as this represents the point in time at
which the right to consideration becomes unconditional,
as only the passage of time is required before payment is
made.
Under our standard terms with customers product
returns, refunds and provision for warranties provided
are in accordance with local requirements. Accumulated
experience has been used to determine that such returns
are not significant.
Service fees: Revenue is derived from the provision of
logistics services for a fee to healthcare manufacturers
for their operating activities in Australia and New
Zealand. Service fees are typically charged for storage
of manufacturer’s inventory holdings and pick, pack and
delivery services provided over a period of time, typically
on a monthly basis, as specified within contractual rates
agreed with the manufacturer.
The performance obligation is satisfied either at a point in
time (sales) or over time (service fees), at which point the
right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the
passage of time is required before payment is made.
Animal Care
Revenue is derived from the supply of animal care products
to pet retail, grocery and vet clinics across Australia and
New Zealand. This includes EBOS’ own manufactured and
contract manufactured animal care products. Upon delivery
of the goods, the customer assumes full control as it has
complete discretion over the manner of distribution and
pricing of goods, has the primary responsibility when on-
selling the goods and bears the risks of loss in relation to the
goods.
A receivable is recognised by the Group when it passes
control of the goods, which is when the goods are delivered
to the customer as this represents the point in time at which
the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only
the passage of time is required before payment is made.
Under the Group’s standard terms with customers
product returns, refunds and provision for warranties
are in accordance with local requirements. Accumulated
experience has been used to determine that such returns are
not significant.

Other expenses (308,221) (286,404)
Total expenses (11,873,230) (12,725,268)
Recognition and measurement
Impairment
EBOS reviews the recoverable amount of its tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, at each balance date. If the
carrying value of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment expense is recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset (value in use).
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows (CGU).
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided for on a straight line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than freehold land,
at depreciation rates calculated to allocate the assets’ cost less estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives.
Refer to note D1 for the useful lives used in the calculation of depreciation.
Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of finite life intangibles. Refer to note B1(d) for the
useful lives used in the calculation of amortisation.
Short term and low value asset leases
EBOS leases certain land, buildings, plant and equipment.
The Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low value asset leases.
The Group recognises the lease payments associated with the leases as an expense (recognised within other expenses in the
Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term).

Financial Statements
A1. Revenue and expenses continued
(b) Expenses continued
Employee expenses
Provision is made for benefits owing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and
employee incentives for services rendered. Provisions are recognised when it is probable they will be settled and can be
measured reliably. They are carried at the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement and discounted to
the present value of the expected payment to the employee at balance date.
Net finance costs
Finance costs include bank interest and amortisation of costs incurred in connection with borrowing facilities. Finance costs
are expensed immediately as incurred, using the effective interest method, unless they relate to acquisition and development
of qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised.
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method.
A2. Segment information

Recognition and measurement
The reportable segments of EBOS have been identified in accordance with NZ IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’.
The Group’s operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The accounting policies of EBOS have been consistently applied to the operating segments. Profit before depreciation,
amortisation, net finance costs and tax expense (EBITDA) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM)
for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Assets are not allocated to operating segments as
they are not reported to the chief operating decision-maker at a segment level.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
A3. Taxation continued
Recognition and measurement
Taxable profit differs from profit before tax reported in
the Consolidated Income Statement as it excludes items
of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in
other years (temporary differences) and also excludes
items that will never be taxable or deductible (permanent
differences).
Income tax expense components are current income tax
and deferred tax.
Deferred tax is income tax that is expected to be payable
or recoverable in the future as a result of the unwinding of
temporary differences. These arise from differences in the
recognition of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
and for the filing of income tax returns.
Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences,
other than those arising:
• from goodwill;
• from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a
transaction (other than in a business combination) that
affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and
• investments in associates and subsidiaries where
EBOS is able to control the reversal of the temporary
differences and such differences are not expected to
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected
to apply to the year when a liability is settled or an asset
realised, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at balance date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available to
use the asset. This is reviewed at each balance date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to
utilise the deferred tax asset.
Amendments to NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes (NZ IAS 12) –
International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules
The Group adopted the amendment to NZ IAS 12 in the prior year.
The amendment clarifies that the Standard applies to income
taxes arising from tax law enacted to implement the Pillar Two
model rules published by the OECD, including tax law that
implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described
in those rules.
The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two Model
Rules. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in New Zealand
and will come into effect for the Group from 1 July 2025. For some
entities within the Group, such as subsidiaries in Australia and
Vietnam, the Pillar Two rules came into effect from 1 July 2024.
Under Pillar Two legislation, the Group may be liable to pay a
top-up tax where the effective tax rate per jurisdiction is below
the 15% minimum rate. The Group has performed an assessment
of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes based on
the financial information for the year ended 30 June 2025, which
showed that no top-up tax exposure should arise for the Group.
This is on the basis that the Safe Harbour rules can be relied upon
in each jurisdiction that the Group operates in where Pillar Two is
applicable.
Under the Australian Pillar Two legislation, the Undertaxed Profits
Rule does not come into effect for the Group until 1 July 2025.
As such, the Pillar Two rules will not apply for the current year to
entities within the Group that is not held directly or indirectly by
an Australian Constituent Entity, such as subsidiaries in China and
United States of America. These entities will however be subject to
the Pillar Two rules from 1 July 2025 when the Pillar Two rules come
into effect in New Zealand.
The Group is making use of the temporary exemption resulting
from the implementation of the Pillar Two regulations, which
was included in the amendment of NZ IAS 12 published in May
2023 under which it does not have to recognise deferred taxes in
relation to Pillar Two.

Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition
date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously-held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree over the fair value of the
identifiable net assets recognised.
Goodwill is not amortised; however, it is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill
is allocated to each of EBOS’ CGUs or groups of CGUs expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that
the unit may be impaired. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable
amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis. Any impairment loss on goodwill is recognised immediately in
profit or loss and is not subsequently reversed.
Section B: Key judgements made
Section Overview
This section identifies the balances and transactions to which key judgements have been made by EBOS in the
preparation of these financial statements. Key judgements have been made in regards to the estimates for future cash
flows for goodwill and indefinite life intangibles impairment assessment purposes, and the identification of intangible
assets and recognition of goodwill for business acquisitions.

Recognition and measurement
Indefinite life intangible assets represent purchased brands, trademarks and a franchise network asset that are initially
recognised at fair value. These intangible assets are tested annually for impairment on the same basis as for goodwill.
Judgement: useful lives of indefinite life intangible assets
The Directors have assessed these brands, trademarks and a franchise network asset as having an indefinite useful life. In coming
to this conclusion, the expected expansion of these assets across other products and markets, the typical product life cycle of
these assets, the stability of the industry in which the assets are operating, the level of maintenance expenditure required and the
period of legal control over these assets have been considered.

For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Directors have determined that there is no impairment of any of the CGUs containing goodwill, brands,
trademarks or the franchise network asset (2024: Nil).
Key judgement: impairment assessment assumption
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are determined on the basis of value in use calculations. The recoverable
amount calculations are most sensitive to changes in the following assumptions:
Revenue
Estimated by management based on revenue achieved in the period immediately before the start of the
assessment period and adjusted each year for any anticipated growth.
Operating costs
Estimated by management based on current trends at the start of the assessment period and adjusted
for expected changes in the business or sector in which the business operates.
Discount rates
Estimated by management based on a current market assessment of the time value of money, cost of
capital and risks specific to the asset or CGU to which the cash flows generated by that asset or CGU
are being assessed.

over their estimated useful life.
Other finite life intangible assets comprise primarily software.
Judgement: Useful lives of finite life intangible assets
In determining the estimated useful life of finite life intangible assets (of a period of between one to 20 years) the following
characteristics have been assessed: (i) expected expansion of the usage of the assets, (ii) the typical product life cycle of these
assets, (iii) the stability of the industry in which the assets are operating, and (iv) the level of maintenance expenditure required.
The estimated useful life and amortisation period is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
B1. Goodwill and intangibles continued
(e) Goodwill and intangibles accounting policies
Accounting policies
At each balance sheet date, EBOS reviews the carrying amounts of its non-current assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are
independent from other assets, EBOS estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset
(CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, other than for Goodwill, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is increased to
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (CGU) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. Impairment losses cannot be reversed for goodwill.

accounting for SVS is considered provisional at reporting date, subject to independent valuations performed on intangible assets recognised as
part of the acquisition.
(ii) Non-controlling interests on the date of acquisition are initially measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value
of the identifiable net assets assumed. The Group entered into arrangements to acquire the remaining equity interest, resulting in a financial
liability – derivative of $8.8m being recognised on the balance sheet (refer to Note G2) and a corresponding adjustment to non-controlling interests.
Subsequent changes to the carrying value of the financial liability – derivative will be recognised in equity.

Recognition and measurement
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method.
The cost of acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred
or assumed, and equity instruments issued by EBOS in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Where applicable, the cost of acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement,
measured at its acquisition date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition
where they qualify as measurement period adjustments. All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant NZ IFRSs. Changes in the fair value of contingent
consideration classified as equity are not recognised.
Goodwill arising on acquisition
Goodwill arose on the acquisitions of the business operations of the acquirees because the cost of acquisition included a control premium
paid. In addition, goodwill resulted from the consideration paid for the benefit of future expected cash flows above the current fair value of
the assets acquired and the expected synergies and future market benefits expected to be obtained. These benefits are not recognised
separately from goodwill as the expected future economic benefits arising cannot be reliably measured and they do not meet the definition
of identifiable intangible assets. The accounting for the business combinations including goodwill arose is considered provisional at balance
date and will be finalised within 12 months of the acquisition date, with the exception of the Pacific Surgical acquisition which has been
finalised as at 30 June 2025.
Pacific Surgical is a specialist orthopaedic device distributor which operates across the Philippines. The business has a broad portfolio
of high value orthopaedic products focussed on implants relating to the spine, sports, joints, biologics and capital equipment segments.
Pacific Surgical is considered a strong fit for the Group from both a product and geographic perspective strengthening the Group’s existing
presence in the Philippines and in the orthopaedic and spine segments.
SVS is a leading supplier of pet medicines and other products to veterinary practices in New Zealand. SVS is considered a complementary
fit within the Animal Care segment as an extension of the Group’s existing veterinary wholesale business in Australia.
The provider of cold chain medical freight transportation across Australia acquired in May 2025 is considered a complementary fit with
the Group’s Healthcare Logistics business to provide an entry point into the attractive cold chain transportation market, expanding the
services offered in the Healthcare segment.
Deferred consideration of $38.1m was recognised as future financial performance (EBITDA) earn out targets of the businesses acquired, on
which the consideration is payable are expected to be achieved.
Impact of the acquisitions on the results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025
The Group consolidated revenue for the year includes $75.5m revenue generated from SVS acquisition and $25.0m from other acquisitions.
SVS acquisition and other acquisitions contributed a profit of $2.5m and $2.8m to the Group net profit for the year.
Had the acquisitions made during the year been effective at 1 July 2024, the Group revenue would have been $12.5bn and the net profit for
the year would have been $221.8m.

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortised cost. They are
presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is
no realistic prospect of recovery.
The Directors believe that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.
(i) Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Interest may be charged on outstanding overdue balances in accordance with the terms and
conditions under which goods are supplied. Trade debtors generally have terms of 30 days.

Section Overview
This section provides further analysis on the significant operating assets and liabilities of EBOS. These balances comprise the
material net working capital balances used by EBOS to run its day to day operating activities.
Recognition and measurement
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on trade receivables. The amount of ECL is updated at
each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The Group measures the provision for ECL using the simplified approach to measuring ECL, which uses a lifetime expected loss
allowance for all trade receivables. The Group determines lifetime ECL for groups of trade receivables with shared credit risk
characteristics. Groupings are based on customer, trading terms and ageing.
An ECL rate is determined based on the historic credit loss rates for the Group, adjusted for other current observable data that may
materially impact the Group’s future credit risk. This other observable data includes specific factors in relation to each debtor or
general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate.
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past
due unless the Group has reasonable basis that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Inventories consist of raw materials (for the manufacturing operations of EBOS) and finished goods. Inventories are recognised
at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and
those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value
represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be
incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
The provision for inventory obsolescence is based on management judgment, taking into account historical inventory write-
offs, inventory turnover trends and other analysis.

Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Cost includes the original purchase consideration and those costs
directly attributable to bringing the item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition for its intended use. After
recognition as an asset, property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment assets, other than freehold land, is calculated on a straight-line basis. This allocates
the cost or fair value amount of an asset, less any residual value, over its estimated useful life.
Judgements and estimates – useful lives
EBOS estimates the remaining useful life of assets as follows:
• Buildings: 20 to 50 years
• Leasehold improvements: 2 to 20 years
• Plant and equipment: 2 to 20 years
• Office equipment, furniture and fittings: 2 to 20 years
The residual value and useful lives are reviewed and if appropriate adjusted at each reporting date.

(i) EBOS, through a subsidiary company, has a trade debtor securitisation facility of $400.0m (2024: $400.0m) of which $388.4m was
unutilised at 30 June 2025 (2024: $219.3m). In August 2024, the Group entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of this
securitisation facility to September 2026. The securitisation facility involves providing security over the future cash flows of specific trade
receivables, which meet certain criteria, in return for cash finance on a contracted percentage of the security provided. As recourse, in the
event of default by a trade debtor, remains with EBOS, the trade receivables provided as security and the funding provided are recognised
on the EBOS Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At 30 June 2025, the value of trade receivables provided as security under this securitisation facility was $49.9m (2024: $236.7m).
The net cash flows associated with the securitisation program are disclosed in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement as cash flows from
financing activities.
(ii) EBOS has gross bank term loan facilities of $1,810.1m (2024: $1,632.4m), of which $719.2m was unutilised at 30 June 2025 (2024: $577.4m).
In December 2024, the Group entered into agreements to refinance its term debt facilities, total of $1,600.0m and NZD 150.0m, due to
mature between two to five years. In June 2025, the Group also completed the refinance of its Southeast Asian term debt facility to extend
the maturity date to June 2028 and increase the facility limit to SGD 45.0m.
EBOS fully complies with and operates within the debt facility financial covenants under the arrangements with its bankers. The
covenants include: interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio, total assets of the guaranteeing group and EBITDAF (EBITDA excluding
fair value movements) of the guaranteeing group.
Recognition and measurement
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received plus issue costs
associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, these loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, which allocates the cost through the expected life of the loan or borrowing. The fair value of
non-current borrowings is approximately equal to their carrying amount.
Bank loans are classified as current liabilities unless EBOS has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least
12 months after the balance sheet date.

During the period, the Group made sales to Animates NZ Holdings Limited of $33.9m (2024: $18.1m) and has outstanding trade
receivables as at 30 June 2025 of $8.7m (2024: $3.4m).
Recognition and measurement
An associate is an entity over which EBOS has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture or
joint operation. EBOS has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the investee, but is not in control or joint control over those policies.
Investments in associates are incorporated in the Group’s financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the
equity method, investments in associates are carried in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost and adjusted for post-acquisition
changes in EBOS’ share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments and less any
dividends. Losses of an associate in excess of EBOS’ interest in that associate are recognised only to the extent that EBOS has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over EBOS’ share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying
amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment.

F3. Non-controlling interests
On 31 May 2022, the Group, through its subsidiaries EBOS Medical Devices Australia Pty Ltd and EBOS Medical Devices NZ Ltd acquired 100%
of equity interest in Pacific Health Supplies TopCo1 Pty Ltd and Pacific Health Supplies TopCo2 LLC (LifeHealthcare Group), including a 51%
interest in Transmedic Pte Ltd (Transmedic, a subsidiary of LifeHealthcare Group). The Group also entered into arrangements providing a
pathway of up to 100% ownership of Transmedic, resulting in a financial liability – derivative of $137.0m initially recognised on the balance sheet
as at 30 June 2022 and a corresponding adjustment to non-controlling interests. Subsequently, the amount expected to be paid at the time of
exercise of the option was reassessed to $165.0m, as at 30 June 2023, with the movement of $28.0m recognised directly in equity.
In the prior year, the Group purchased an additional 39% shareholding in Transmedic for a consideration of $134.6m, to increase its shareholding
in Transmedic to 90%. An option arrangement was also entered into that will facilitate the Group moving to 100% ownership. As at 30 June
2024, the carrying value of the financial liability – derivative was $35.0m. During the current year, the Group acquired the remaining 10%
shareholding in Transmedic for a partial payment of $35.9m and the final payment to be made in October 2025. As at 30 June 2025,
the financial liability was $5.4m reflecting the expected final payment.
The table below shows details of Transmedic, the non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Group that has material non-controlling interests.
The other non-controlling interests are not considered material and are therefore not disclosed in the financial statements.
Recognition and measurement
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. The non-controlling interests on the date
of acquisition are initially measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the identifiable net
assets assumed. Subsequent to the acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the valuation on initial recognition
plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. Transactions with non-controlling interests are recorded
directly in retained earnings.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
Section G: How we manage risk
G1. Financial risk management
The EBOS corporate treasury function provides services to the Group’s entities, coordinates access to financial markets, and manages
the financial risks relating to the operation of the Group.
EBOS does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The use
of financial derivatives is governed by Group policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of
financial derivatives. Compliance with policies for exposure limits is reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
Foreign currency risk
EBOS is exposed to foreign currency risk arising primarily
from the procurement of goods denominated in foreign
currencies: US dollar, Australian dollar (in non-Australian
operations), Thai baht, Swiss Franc, Euro and British
pound.
EBOS has significant foreign operations (New Zealand
and Southeast Asia), which are subject to foreign
exchange fluctuations. The method for translating
EBOS’ foreign operations’ results, assets and liabilities is
described in the “Introducing this report” note.
It is the policy of the Group to enter into foreign exchange
forward contracts to manage the foreign currency
risk associated with anticipated sales and purchase
transactions typically out to 24 months of the exposure
generated. It is the policy of the Group to enter into
foreign exchange forward contracts for up to 100% of
forecasted foreign currency transactions for the next six
months, up to 80% of six to 12 months of forecasted foreign
currency transactions and up to 40% of 12 to 24 months of
forecasted foreign currency transactions.
All forward foreign currency contracts entered into fix the
exchange rate of highly probable forecast transactions,
denominated in foreign currencies, and are designated
as cash flow hedges to reduce the Group’s cash flow
exposure resulting from variable movements in exchange
rates.
The Group performs a qualitative assessment of
effectiveness of hedges using the critical terms of
the underlying transaction and hedging instrument.
It is expected that the value of the forward contracts
and the value of the corresponding hedged items will
systematically change in opposite direction in response to
movements in the underlying exchange rates.
EBOS enters into forward foreign exchange contracts only
in accordance with the Board approved treasury policy.
No sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these
hedging relationships.
Interest rate risk
EBOS is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds
in New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars and Australian
dollars at floating interest rates.
The risk is assessed and managed by the use of interest
rate swap and interest rate collar contracts. In interest
rate swap contracts, EBOS agrees to exchange the
difference between fixed and floating rate interest
amounts calculated on agreed notional principal
amounts. In interest rate collar contracts, EBOS may
pay upfront premiums to cap the interest at strike rates
on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts
enable EBOS to partially mitigate the risk of changing
interest rates on debt held.
It is the policy of the Group to enter into interest rate
swap and interest rate collar contracts to manage base
interest rate risk associated with floating rate Group
borrowings of up to 100% of the exposure generated for
1-2 years, up to 90% for 2-3 years, up to 80% for 3-4 years,
up to 70% for 4–5 years and up to 50% for 5-10 years
(2024: 100% of the exposure generated for 1-3 years, up
to 80% for 3-5 years and up to 50% for 5-10 years).
All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate
interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts and
interest rate collar contracts capping the floating rates
at strike rates are designated as cash flow hedges to
reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from
variable interest rates on borrowings.
The interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the
loan occur simultaneously, and the amount accumulated
in equity is reclassified to profit or loss over the period
that the floating rate interest payments on debt affect
profit or loss.
The Group has previously entered into a number of
interest rate collar contracts. Under the interest rate
collar contracts, for each period where floating rates are
above strike rates, the interest payments are limited to
the strike rates. Changes in fair value of the collar due to
changes in intrinsic value and time value are deferred in
the cash flow hedge reserve. Any premium paid for the
collars are recorded as an expense over the life of the
instruments on a straight-line basis.
Section Overview
This section describes the financial risks that EBOS has identified and how it manages these risks, to protect its financial
position and financial performance. Management of these risks includes the use of financial instruments to hedge against
unfavourable interest rate and foreign currency movements.
8485
Financial Statements
The Group performs a qualitative assessment of the
effectiveness of hedges using the critical terms of
the underlying transaction and hedging instrument.
It is expected that the value of the interest rate
swaps or interest rate collars, and the value of the
corresponding hedged items (floating rate borrowings)
will systematically change in the opposite direction in
response to movements in the underlying interest rates.
Interest rate swap and interest rate collar contracts are
only entered into in accordance with the Group’s Board
approved treasury policy.
No sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these
hedging relationships.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined
based on the exposure to interest rates for both
derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the
reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is
prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding
at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole
year. A one per cent increase or decrease is used when
reporting interest rate risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management’s assessment of
the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates for the year ended 30 June 2025 had
been one per cent higher/lower with all other variables
held constant, the Group’s:
• Profit before tax would decrease by $5.7m or increase
by $13.6m (2024: decrease by $3.7m or increase by
$11.7m). This is attributable to the Group’s unhedged
exposure to interest rates on its variable rate
borrowings.
• Other comprehensive income would increase by $7.6m
or decrease by $17.0m respectively (2024: increase by
$8.6m or decrease by $5.9m) as a result of the changes
in the fair value of interest rate swaps and interest rate
collars.
Liquidity risk
EBOS is exposed to liquidity risk as it must invest in
significant levels of working capital such as inventory and
accounts receivable which can impact liquidity unless they
are converted to cash.
EBOS manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate
reserves, banking facilities and reserve banking facilities
by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash
flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities. Refer to note E4 for information on EBOS’
borrowings facility maturity profile.
Credit risk
EBOS is exposed to the risk of default in relation to
receivables owing from its healthcare and animal care
customers, hedging instruments and guarantees and
deposits held with banks and other financial institutions.
EBOS has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit
worthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk of
financial loss from defaults. All bank balances are assessed
to have low credit risk at each reporting date as they are
held with reputable international banking institutions.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers,
spread across diverse sectors and geographical areas.
Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial
condition of the trade receivables. Credit assessments
are undertaken to determine the credit quality of the
customer, taking into account their financial position, past
experience and other relevant factors. Individual risk limits
are granted in accordance with the internal credit policy
and authorised via appropriate personnel as defined by
the Group’s delegation of authority manual.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the
financial statements, net of any allowances for losses,
represents the maximum exposure to EBOS of any credit
risk.
EBOS does not have any significant credit risk exposure
to any single counter party. The credit risk on liquid funds
and derivative financial instruments is limited because the
counter parties are banks with high credit ratings assigned
by international credit rating agencies.
EBOS has made amendments to its Treasury policy
regarding the management of risk from 2024 to reflect the
increased growth and complexity of the Group.

(i) Designated and effective as a cash flow hedging instrument carried at fair value.
(ii) Represents the carrying value of the financial obligation (put options) if the option for the Group to acquire the non-controlling interests,

Recognition and measurement
EBOS has categorised these derivatives, both financial
assets and financial liabilities (excluding Other financial
liabilities – consideration for remaining controlling
interests), as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy
contained within NZ IFRS 13. There were no transfers
between fair value hierarchy levels during the current or
prior periods.
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is
determined using a discounted cash flow valuation.
Key inputs are based upon observable forward exchange
rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting value
discounted back to present values.
Interest rate swaps and interest rate collars are valued
using a discounted cash flow valuation. Key inputs for the
valuation of interest rate swaps and interest rate collars
are the estimated future cash flows based on observable
yield curves at the end of the reporting period, discounted
at a rate that reflects the credit risk of the various counter
parties.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on
the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value.
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
are determined as follows:
• The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
with standard terms and conditions and traded on active
liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted
market prices.
• The fair value of other financial assets and financial
liabilities are determined in accordance with generally
accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow
analysis.
• The fair value of derivative instruments are calculated
using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available
use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using
the applicable yield curve for the duration of the
instruments.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial
liabilities recorded in the financial statements
approximates their fair values.
As hedge accounting has been applied for all derivatives
except the option over non-controlling interests, and no
hedge ineffectiveness has occurred during the period,
the movement in these instruments has been recognised
in other comprehensive income. The premium paid for the
interest rate collars are recorded as an expense over the
life of the instruments on a straight-line basis.
The recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of
the hedge relationship. EBOS designates these derivatives
as cash flow hedges of highly probable forecast
transactions. Hedging gains or losses are recognised in
the profit or loss when the hedged items affect the profit
or loss except where they are hedging non-financial items
in which case they are recognised as an adjustment to
the initial carrying value of the non-financial items
(basis adjustment). When a forward contract is used in
a cash flow hedge relationship the Group has designated
the change in fair value of the entire forward contract,
i.e. including the forward element, as the hedging
instrument.
8687
Financial Statements
G2. Financial instruments continued
Cash flow hedges
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group
documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk
management objectives and its strategy for undertaking
various hedge transactions.
Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an
ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging
instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly
effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged
item attributable to the hedged risk.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of
derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow
hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated as a separate component of equity in the
hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective
portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial liability – derivative (put option over
non-controlling interests)
Where the Group writes a put option with the non-
controlling shareholders on their equity interest in
a non-wholly owned subsidiary for settlement in
cash; a financial liability, at the present value of the
exercise price of the option, is recognised. When the
non-controlling interests still have present access to
the returns associated with the underlying ownership
interest, non-controlling interests continue to be
recognised and accordingly the liability is considered
a transaction with owners and recognised within
non-controlling interests. Subsequent to the initial
recognition, any changes in the carrying amount of the
financial liability – derivative, including the accretion
of interest, are recognised directly in equity within
non-controlling interests.
Judgement: measurement of financial liability –
derivative (put option over non-controlling interests)
Valuation of the financial liability – derivative is based
upon management’s most recent assessment of the
consideration to be payable, in the event that the option
is exercised by the minority shareholders.
Consideration payable is subject to future financial
performance of the subsidiary and the current market
assessment of the time value of money. In the event that
the option is not exercised during the option period, and
therefore expires, then the financial liability – derivative is
derecognised with no impact to Profit or Loss.

H6. Leases
The Group as a lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a
lease at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a
right of use (ROU) asset and a corresponding liability with
respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee,
except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a
lease term of twelve months or less) and leases of low value
assets. For these leases, the Group applies the practical
expedient available and recognises the lease payments
as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic
benefits from the lease assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit
in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined,
the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease
liability comprise:
• fixed lease payments, less incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or
rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the
commencement date;
• the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under
residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the
lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate
the lease.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease,
together with periods covered by an option (available to the
lessee only) to extend or terminate the lease if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise/not to exercise that option.
In determining the lease term, the Group considers all facts
and circumstances that create an economic incentive to
exercise/not exercise an option.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing
the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability
(using the effective interest method) and by reducing the
carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes
a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset)
whenever:
• the lease term has changed or there is a change in the
assessment of likely exercise of a purchase option, in
which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting
the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
• the lease payments change due to changes in an
index or rate or a change in expected payment under
a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease
liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease
payments using the initial discount rate.
• a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is
not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the
lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised
lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The ROU assets comprise the initial measurement of the
corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or
before the commencement date and any initial direct costs.
They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to
dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on
which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the
condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease,
a provision is recognised and measured under NZ IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
ROU assets are depreciated over the shorter period of
either the lease term or the useful life of the underlying
asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset
or the cost of the ROU asset reflects that the Group expects
to exercise a purchase option, the related ROU asset is
depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.
The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the
lease.
The ROU assets are presented as a separate line in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Group applies NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to
determine whether a ROU asset is impaired and accounts
for any identified impairment loss under this standard.
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are
not included in the measurement of the lease liability and
the ROU asset. The related payments are recognised as
an expense in the period in which the event or condition
that triggers those payments occurs and are included as
operating expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement.
As a practical expedient, NZ IFRS 16 Leases permits
a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and
instead account for any lease and associated non-lease
components as a single arrangement. The Group has
adopted this practical expedient.

Unmarketable parcels
As at 23 July 2025, there were 441 shareholders (with a total of 2,564
shares) holding less than a marketable parcel of shares based on
the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX of A$36.65.
The ASX Listing Rules define a marketable parcel of shares as a
parcel of shares of not less than A$500.
Waivers granted from the NZX Listing Rules/ASX Admission
There were no waivers granted by the NZX during the year or waivers
of NZX Listing Rules relied upon by the Company during the year.
The terms of the Company’s admission to the ASX and on-going
listing requires the following disclosures:
1. The Company is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the
Australian Corporations Act dealing with the acquisition of shares
(including substantial holdings and takeovers).
2. Limitations on the acquisition of securities imposed under New
Zealand law are as follows:
(a) In general, securities in the Company are freely transferable
and the only significant restrictions or limitations in relation
to the acquisition of securities are those imposed by New
Zealand laws relating to takeovers, overseas investment and
competition.
(b) The New Zealand Takeovers Code creates a general rule under
which the acquisition of 20% or more of the voting rights in
the Company or the increase of an existing holding of 20%
or more of the voting rights of the Company can only occur
in certain permitted ways. These include a full takeover offer
in accordance with the Takeovers Code, a partial takeover
in accordance with the Takeovers Code, an acquisition
approved by an ordinary resolution, an allotment approved
by an ordinary resolution, a creeping acquisition (in certain
circumstances), or compulsory acquisition of a shareholder
holding 90% or more of the shares.
(c) The New Zealand Overseas Investment Act 2005 and Overseas
Investment Regulations 2005 (New Zealand) regulate certain
investments in New Zealand by overseas interests. In general
terms, the consent of the New Zealand Overseas Investment
Office is likely to be required where an ‘overseas person’
acquires shares in the Company that amount to 25% or more
of the shares issued by the Company, or if the overseas person
already holds 25% or more, the acquisition increases that
holding.
(d) The New Zealand Commerce Act 1986 is likely to prevent
a person from acquiring shares in the Company if the
acquisition would have, or would be likely to have, the effect of
substantially lessening competition in the market.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
The Board and management of EBOS Group Limited are
committed to ensuring that the Company adheres to best practice
and governance principles and maintains high ethical standards.
Climate Statement
EBOS Group Limited is a ‘climate reporting entity’ for the purposes
of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ). The Company
expects to release its second climate statement in late September
2025 and it will be made available at: https://www.ebosgroup.com/
sustainability/climate-statement.
Corporate Governance Statement
The 2025 Corporate Governance Statement relating to the
Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) can be found at:
https://www.ebosgroup.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance.
The Corporate Governance Statement refers to a number of codes,
policies and charters of the Group. These documents (or a summary
of them) can be found at https://www.ebosgroup.com/who-we-are/
corporate-governance.
Risk management
Risk management is an integral part of the Group’s business.
The Group has an enterprise risk management framework,
designed to promote a culture which ensures a proactive and
consistent approach to identifying and mitigating risk on a Group-
wide basis.
Our approach to risk management provides clarity on roles and
responsibilities to minimise the impact of financial, operational and
sustainability risks on our business. Under this approach, the Board
approves the strategic risk profile and risk appetite statements
(which describe the level of risk the Group is willing to take in
relation to specific risk categories) for the Group. The Board reviews
the strategic risk profile from time to time.
The Audit & Risk Committee assists the Board by monitoring the
strategic risk profile and implementation of the risk appetite levels
that were set by the Board. The monitoring of the strategic risk
profile is part of a standing agenda item for each regular Audit &
Risk Committee meeting.
Management reports to the Board and the Audit & Risk Committee
on whether the Group’s material business risks are being managed
effectively and updates the risk rating of strategic risks on an
ongoing basis, presenting proposed changes to the Board or
the Audit & Risk Committee as required. As such, this process
is continuous and is designed to provide advanced warning of
material risks before they eventuate and includes:
• significant risk identification;
• risk impact quantification;
• risk mitigation strategy development;
• reporting; and
• monitoring and evaluation to ensure the ongoing integrity of the
risk management process.
A description of the Group’s key financial risks (foreign currency
risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk) and how these
are managed, is set out on pages 84 and 85.
A description of the Group’s key non-financial risks and how these
are managed is set out in the Group’s Corporate Governance
Statement. These risks include: competition risk, reliance on key
suppliers, supply chain disruption and macroeconomic conditions,
significant changes to price, industry or pharmacy regulation,
product liability and litigation risk, cyber risk, health and safety
risk, loss of critical operations and acquisition and major capital
expenditure project risk.
With regard to the impact of climate change and, in particular,
the impact of severe weather events, these factors are considered
as part of specific non-financial risks, in particular supply
chain disruption and loss of critical warehouse operations.
The Company has undertaken a thorough climate risk assessment
and identified climate related risks and opportunities with
materiality assessments of the risks and opportunities ongoing.
Further information will be included in the Company’s second
climate statement expected to be released in late September 2025.
Access to advice and auditors
As set out in the Group’s Corporate Governance Code, a director
may obtain independent advice at the expense of the Company on
issues related to the fulfilment of their duties as a director, subject
to obtaining the approval of the Audit & Risk Committee prior to
incurring any advisory fees.
In addition, it is open to the Audit & Risk Committee to meet
external auditors and internal auditors without management
present.
Corporate Governance Disclosures
For the purposes of compliance with the NZ Companies Act,
NZX Listing Rules and NZX Corporate Governance Code dated
31 January 2025 (NZX Code), the following disclosures are included
in the Annual Report.
Diversity
The Group has a Diversity & Inclusion Policy which is set out as
Appendix F of the Corporate Governance Code. Under the policy,
the Board is responsible for setting measurable objectives for
achieving diversity. The Board set the objectives for the year ended
30 June 2025 (FY25) in June 2024. Set out below is the Board’s
assessment of those objectives for FY25:
Corporate Governance
9899
Corporate Governance
ObjectiveProgress during FY25
Maintain gender diversity in relation
to the composition of the Board, with
not less than 30% of directors being
female and not less than 30% of
directors being male.
There were two new appointments to the Board during FY25.
As at 30 June 2025, the gender diversity of the Board had increased to 57% female
participation, compared to 30 June 2024, when it was 50%.
Aim to increase the proportion of
women in executive and senior
leadership roles by identifying internal
talent through robust succession
planning, developing female leaders
and acquiring external talent through
fair and objective recruitment
practices.
As at 30 June 2025, there was no change to the percentage representation of women at the
Executive Leadership Team and ELT-1 levels compared to 30 June 2024.
The Talent Council (comprised of the ELT and other senior management) met during FY25
to discuss talent and succession and to look for opportunities to develop capability across
the Group. The Talent Council, supported by policies such as the Recruitment and Selection
Policy, enables senior leaders to focus on gender balance in their teams and to ensure a
diverse representation of both decision makers and candidates.
The Group again invested in its key sponsorship and development program called ‘Catalyst’.
The commitment to 40:40:20 representation on the program was achieved with the current
intake of the program tracking at 50% female representation.
Assess and analyse the gender
pay gap at EBOS annually and
report to the Board and Workplace
Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) in
accordance with obligations.
The Group reported to the Board on the Gender Pay Gap (GPG) in Australia as required
under its legal obligations and submitted reports to WGEA. For the 1 April 2023 to the
31 March 2024 reporting period, the Group had a 22.9% GPG in Australia on an average basis
and a median GPG in Australia of 3.8% when using total remuneration (i.e. base salary plus
short- and long-term incentives). The reports to WGEA can be accessed via the Employer
Data Explorer section of the WGEA website (https://www.wgea.gov.au/Data-Explorer/
Employer)
The Group also made submissions in accordance with the Australian Workplace Gender
Equality Act requirements in regard to the FY25 reporting period which will be released by
WGEA in March 2026. The public compliance report generated though this submission is
available on the EBOS Group website.
The Group has a Diversity and Inclusion Strategy which assists the Group to strive for
gender balance across the organisation which is expected to assist in closing the GPG.
Continue to promote family friendly
and flexible work place practices
including but not limited to a
commitment to supporting those on
parental leave, supporting flexible
return to work arrangements and
on-going flexible work arrangements
that suit both the organisation and the
individual.
There has been ongoing support for flexible working during FY25, as many of our knowledge
workers continue to engage in hybrid work arrangements where arrangements suit the
individual, the team and the organisation.
In FY25 parental leave returns were monitored and tracked. 82% of those who took parental
leave returned to the business after their leave.
During the year, the Group revised its Family and Domestic Violence Policy to include
references to more extensive support services for team members that experience family
and domestic violence.
In early 2025, the Group launched a new Parental Leave Policy for employees in New
Zealand. Expanding on statutory entitlements, eligible employees can benefit from an
enhanced benefits for both partners and primary carers.
Continue to commit to the EBOS
Reconciliation Action Plan in Australia
and improving cultural awareness
across both Australia and New
Zealand.
The Group successfully concluded the pilot First Nations Employment Program in
partnership with a labour hire partner, Indigenous Defence and Infrastructure Consortium
(IDIC) and Australian Training Works (ATW). The program allows for the attainment of a
‘Certificate 3’ in Supply Chain for participants and a pathway to permanent employment.
The program will continue in FY26.
Educate our leaders through training
to ensure they are equipped and can
role model the principles outlined in
our workplace policies.
Our online Integrity Training supports the education of our leaders and teams on the
importance of diversity, appropriate workplace behaviour and compliance. Modules include
topics such as anti-bullying and anti-harassment, diversity and inclusion and First Nations
cultural awareness.
In FY25, EBOS continued to be a member of NAWO which is the National Association of
Women in Operations. NAWO’s vision is to see diversity valued and balanced at every level in
operations.

Matthew MuscioNot independentJanuary 2025
Julie TayIndependentMay 2023
The Board has determined that six of the seven current directors
are Independent. In relation to Mr Muscio, he was, within the last
three years, employed in an executive role by the Group. While
the Board considers that Mr Muscio brings considerable skills
and experience as a non-executive director, it is acknowledged
that he held long standing executive roles with EBOS and, prior
to this, LifeHealthcare (which was acquired by EBOS in 2022) and
accordingly he is not currently regarded as Independent given the
nature of those positions. In relation to Elizabeth Coutts, she has
been an independent non-executive director of EBOS for more
than 12 years. The Board is unanimously of the view that she brings,
amongst other things, an independent view to decisions in relation
to EBOS and that her tenure is not, of itself, an indication that she is
no longer Independent.
The Board considers that a mix of tenure amongst directors is of
benefit to the Company and its shareholders and has in recent
years undertaken a considered and carefully timed succession
process. Since July 2021, five directors have been appointed,
of which four are Independent, and a number of long-standing
directors have retired during this period.

Corporate Governance
RecommendationComment
3.4 – Nomination
Committee
The Board does not have a nomination committee. The Board has determined, having regard to the current
composition of the Board, that a nomination committee is not currently required. The Board undertakes the
functions that were previously delegated to a nominations committee.
5.2 – remuneration
policy
EBOS has a remuneration policy which is approved by the Board. The Remuneration Committee determines
the relative weightings each year. The policy itself does not include the relative weightings of remuneration and
performance criteria. This information is included in the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement
(as required under the policy) and the Annual Report to ensure it accurately reflects the remuneration structures.
8.4 – equity raisingThe Board acknowledges NZX Code Recommendation 8.4 regarding the offer of further securities on a pro rata
basis. In considering options regarding capital raisings, the Board will take into account a number of factors
including the Recommendation however its decision will be based on the best outcome for the Company.
On 10 April 2025, the Company announced that would raise approximately A$250 million by way of a placement
and retail offer (share purchase plan) to fund two acquisitions with excess funds to provide further balance sheet
capacity.
The Board elected to use a combination of a placement and a retail offer as the structure provided the tightest
pricing, quickest execution and time to settlement and was able to be structured to give the vast majority of
the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to maintain their relative shareholdings if desired. Further, the
dilutionary impact of the placement was limited given the small overall size of the placement (which constituted
approximately 3% of EBOS’ issued share capital at the time). By contrast, a rights issue would have resulted in it
taking longer to complete the institutional offer, had a bigger discount, a longer settlement period, and therefore
greater exposure to market risk, and higher fees particularly given the volatility in market conditions at the time.
As part of the placement allocation process, EBOS and the lead manager applied an allocation policy to ensure
fairness for existing shareholders with eligible shareholders that bid for an amount up to their ‘pro rata’ share
allocated their full bid on a best endeavours basis.
The retail offer price was structured to provide participating shareholders with downside pricing protection for
the period between the announcement of the placement and retail offer and the closing of the retail offer.
In addition, the retail offer was sized to ensure pro rata availability for shareholders.

Further, in recognition of the
support from shareholders, the Board determined to accept oversubscriptions for the retail offer such that all
valid applications from retail shareholders were accepted.

Remuneration Overview
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of EBOS’ Board of Directors, I am pleased to present
EBOS’ remuneration overview for the Company and its controlled
entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2025 (FY25).
As the Chair of the Board and their Remuneration Committee,
I work with my fellow directors to ensure there is an appropriate
level of transparency around EBOS’ approach to remuneration to
support stakeholder confidence in EBOS’ executive and director
remuneration processes. The Board remains focussed on ensuring
that our remuneration structures include incentives that are
aligned with our short-term and long-term performance.
FY25 Performance and Remuneration Outcomes
In FY25 EBOS delivered a result that highlights EBOS’ continued
track record of solid organic growth, operational excellence and
strategic execution. The operating results included underlying
revenue growth of 12.1% and underlying EBITDA of $585 million, up
7.5% on the previous financial year. The FY25 EBITDA result was in
line with our guidance range of $575 million to $600 million.
In addition, EBOS continued to execute its strategy of investing
for growth, including completing five acquisitions, with three
investments in the Medical Technology business in Southeast Asia,
and two investments in Animal Care.
The Board assessed the performance of the CEO against set
targets. The short-term incentive of the CEO was assessed on
the annual earnings performance of the Group and the Board
determined that the FY25 short term incentive would continue to be
set by reference to the Group’s underlying EBITDA growth, aligning
the incentive with a key financial metric reported to shareholders.
The long-term incentive for the three-year period ended 30 June
2025 was assessed on the three-year EPS CAGR growth achieved
by the Group.
As we describe in the report below, the short-term incentive for the
CEO for FY25 was awarded at ‘target’. The EPS CAGR growth target
of the long-term incentive for the three-year period ended 30 June
2025 was not achieved and those performance rights will lapse.
Executive Remuneration Framework
In order to drive sustainable business performance and to execute
its strategic plan, EBOS must attract and retain people of a high
calibre. Accordingly, executive remuneration is set with regard to
this and other key business objectives, including encouraging a
long-term commitment to EBOS Group.
EBOS aligns components of executive remuneration with the
performance of EBOS (that is, pay-for-performance alignment).
As such, executive remuneration comprises fixed and ‘at risk’
elements which are both short and long-term in nature. The
purpose of this structure is to ensure that the interests of the
executives, EBOS and its shareholders are aligned during the period
over which the business results are realised.
The Board, through the Remuneration Committee, periodically
reviews the structure of the short-term and long-term incentive
plans for executives.
In respect of short-term incentives, in FY25 the Remuneration
Committee introduced specific additional criteria which must
be met before a short-term incentive is payable to an executive,
being achievement of a Work Health and Safety (WHS) Index
and demonstrating behaviour consistent with the Group’s Code
of Ethics. Those criteria will be retained for the FY26 short-term
incentive. In respect of other targets for the short-term incentive,
the Board continues to be of the view that a profitability measure
remains appropriate for an organisation of EBOS’ maturity and
complexity.
During FY25, the Remuneration Committee reviewed the
performance measures for the long-term incentive, with the review
including consultation with stakeholders. Following this review, the
Remuneration Committee has determined to introduce a return
on capital employed (ROCE) target, together with retaining an EPS
target, for performance rights related to the period 1 July 2025 –
30 June 2028. The introduction of the ROCE target, together
with EPS, is designed to incentivise the delivery of long-term and
sustainable growth, further aligning executive remuneration
outcomes with the long-term financial performance of the Group.
The Remuneration Committee will continue to review the Group’s
incentive plans to ensure they remain fit for purpose as the business
grows.
Thank you to all EBOS shareholders for your continued support
this year.

Structure of this report
This remuneration overview is structured as follows:
1. Remuneration Philosophy and Principles
2. Remuneration Governance
3. Executive Remuneration Framework
4. CEO Remuneration
5. Non-Executive Director Remuneration
6. Employee Payment Bands
Section 1: Remuneration Philosophy and Principles
EBOS has a Remuneration Policy which relates to the remuneration
of the directors and senior executives of EBOS. A copy of the
policy is available on EBOS’ website: https://www.ebosgroup.
com/who-we-are/corporate-governance. As described in that
policy, EBOS believes that it is in the best interests of both EBOS
and its employees to pay everyone fairly for the value of the work
performed, in a financially responsible manner.
EBOS adopts an objective, robust and market-competitive system
to determine the remuneration levels of roles at EBOS based on the
job requirements, skills and experience, and knowledge required
of a fully competent job incumbent without bias. This approach is
also flexible enough to ensure that EBOS is able to recruit, develop
and retain a highly qualified workforce. The Remuneration Policy
is reinforced by EBOS’ Values and Leadership Standards which
recognises the Group’s overarching commitments to safety,
diversity, respect, sustainability, ethical behaviour and appropriate
risk management. Attracting, developing and retaining people of a
high calibre is critical to support sustainable business performance
and execution of strategy, and the remuneration of directors and
executives is set having regard to this.
Executive remuneration is benchmarked having regard
to comparably sized companies to EBOS on the ASX.
The benchmarking also has regard to the evolving complexity
in the EBOS business with EBOS operating across a number of
geographies (New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia and the
United States) and sectors, the requirements of the individual
position and relevant internal and external pay relativities.
The remuneration framework is structured to promote the long-
term sustainable growth of the Group with a significant portion of
performance-based executive remuneration awarded as rights
to equity to reinforce alignment with the interests of EBOS and
its shareholders over this period. In this way, executive pay-for-
performance is aligned with stakeholder (including shareholder)
experience over the longer term.
Section 2: Remuneration Governance
As set out in the Charter for the Remuneration Committee,
the Committee is responsible for reviewing, recommending and,
if delegated by the Board, setting, in accordance with EBOS’
Remuneration Policy and practices, all components of the
remuneration of the directors and executives. The charter for the
Remuneration Committee is available on EBOS’ website:
https://www.ebosgroup.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:
• approving the remuneration of executives; and
• recommending non-executive director remuneration to the Board
(within a fee pool approved by shareholders).
The Board is responsible for:
• approving non-executive director remuneration
(within a fee pool approved by shareholders); and
• approval of remuneration policies.
The members of the Remuneration Committee during the year were
Independent Directors Elizabeth Coutts (Chair), Stuart McLauchlan
and Tracey Batten. The CEO attends each meeting by a standing
invitation, as well as the EGM, Human Resources. The Committee is
entitled to meet without the CEO. Other employees are involved in
these meetings on an as-needed basis and only by invitation.

InstrumentCash.
Performance Criteria
The performance measures for the STI are set by reference to the executive’s responsibilities and particular
projects relevant to that executive and the business or function for which they are responsible.
The following business criteria must be met before any payments are made:
• Group financial performance measures for the financial year; and
• for those with business unit responsibilities business unit EBITDA targets for the financial year.
For the FY24 STIs paid during FY25 and the FY25 STIs expected to be paid shortly after release of this report,
Group financial performance was measured by reference to Group underlying EBITDA.
The FY25 STI for the Executive Leadership Team included a stretch incentive to explicitly incentivise and
reward outperformance and the achievement of certain financial outcomes by EBOS.
In addition, for the FY25 STI, the following additional criteria must be met before any payments are made:
• achievement of a WHS Index as defined by the Group; and
• the participant must have demonstrated behaviour that is consistent with their employment contract and
the Group’s Code of Ethics.
The Board through the Remuneration Committee determines what the targets are for a financial year and
if these targets have been achieved. Targets are set having regard to the Board-approved budget for the
relevant year, with the overarching objective being that targets are achievable but sufficiently challenging.
The Board oversees key activities and initiatives of management (including in relation to sustainability
and health & safety). In line with the Board’s expectation that Management is accountable for a range of
activities, including implementation of sustainability and health & safety initiatives, the Board (itself or
through the Remuneration Committee) also has the flexibility to consider non-financial STI performance
measures and award STI payments for special, strategically important and/or transformative projects.
Accordingly, the Remuneration Committee introduced a WHS Index for the FY25 STI. More broadly, the
Remuneration Committee factors in health and safety leadership and progress in relation to the Group’s
ESG program when determining the CEO STI outcome.

Board discretion and
Clawback
The Board has discretion as to if an STI will operate for a financial year and who participates in the STI.
The Board has discretion to clawback, reduce or forfeit part or all of an STI award to ensure a participant does
not derive an unfair benefit, including where:
(a) the participant:
• acts, or has acted, fraudulently or dishonestly or made a material misstatement on behalf of any Group
company;
• is in breach of any of their duties or obligations to any Group company (including a breach of their
obligations under their employment contract);
• has engaged in negligence or gross misconduct;
• has done an act which could reasonably be regarded to have contributed to material reputation damage to
any Group company; or
• is convicted of an offence or has a judgment entered against them in connection with the affairs of any
Group company, or
(b) the participant’s award has been made as a result of:
• the fraud, dishonesty, negligence or breach of duties or obligations of any person; or
• a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements of the Group or any other circumstances
or events which, in the opinion of the Board, affect or are reasonably likely to affect the Group’s financial
soundness or require restatement.
Table 2: FY25 STI plan continued
FeatureApproach
Purpose
Align a portion of executives’ total remuneration with the medium to long term performance of the Group’s
financial performance and share price.
Provide individuals with a competitive market position for total reward (i.e. variable and fixed pay components).
Instrument
Performance rights which are rights to acquire ordinary shares in EBOS for nil consideration.
Performance periodThree years from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 (i.e. FY25-FY27).
Performance Criteria
FY25-FY27 performance rights
The performance criteria (vesting conditions) for executives are:
• continuous employment with the Group; and
• growth in EBOS’ earnings per share over the performance period must equal or exceed a specific
compound annual growth percentage target. Further detail on the EPS CAGR condition set by the
Remuneration Committee in FY25 is set out in section d below.
The vesting conditions for the FY25 LTI includes a ‘stretch’ target for certain senior executives to incentivise
and reward outperformance by EBOS.
The performance criteria are assessed at the end of the 3 year performance period (with no retesting in
future periods).
The vesting conditions may be amended, reduced or waived in whole or in part by the Board, subject to
applicable law.
The Board also has the flexibility to consider broader performance criteria, including capital efficiency and/or
non-financial objectives, and award LTI payments for special, strategically important and/or transformative
projects (to drive significant outperformance and retain key executives over the relevant period).
The Board is currently of the view that key financial measures remain appropriate to assess the
medium-to-long term performance of EBOS and its executive team.
c. Long-Term Incentive (LTI)
Table 3: FY25 LTI plan
106107
Remuneration Overview
106107
FeatureApproach
Performance Criteria
FY26-FY28 performance rights
The Remuneration Committee, on behalf of the Board, undertook a review of the LTI performance measures
during FY25. In respect of the performance rights expected to be issued for the period from 1 July 2025 to
30 June 2028 (FY26-FY28 rights), the Remuneration Committee has approved performance measures based
on ROCE, in addition to EPS as follows:
• 75% of the award will be linked to growth in EBOS’ earnings per share over the performance period; and
• 25% of the award will be linked to ROCE in the third year of the performance period.
Settlement
If the Board determines that performance rights have vested it may determine with respect to each vested
right whether to:
• allot and issue, or transfer, shares to a participant (equity settle); and/or
• pay a cash amount to a participant equivalent to the ‘market value’ of a share as at the date of vesting of
the performance rights (cash settle). The market value of an EBOS share is calculated by reference to the
volume weighted average price of EBOS shares on the NZX for the 5 trading days immediately prior to the
date that the Board determines the rights have vested.
Dividends and
voting rights
Performance rights do not have voting rights or accrue dividends.
Board discretion
and Clawback
The Board has discretion as to if an LTI will operate for a period and who participates in the LTI.
The Board has discretion to adjust downwards (including to zero) unvested or vested LTI awards where,
in the opinion of the Board:
(a) the participant:
• acts, or has acted, fraudulently or dishonestly or made a material misstatement on behalf of any Group
company;
• is in breach of any of their duties or obligations to any Group company (including a breach of their
obligations under their employment contract);
• has engaged in negligence or gross misconduct;
• has done an act which could reasonably be regarded to have contributed to material reputation damage to
any Group company; or
• is convicted of an offence or has a judgment entered against them in connection with the affairs of any
Group company, or
(b) a participant’s performance rights vest, or may vest, as a result of:
• the fraud, dishonesty, negligence or breach of duties or obligations of any person; or
• a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements of the Group or any other circumstances
or events which, in the opinion of the Board, affect or are reasonably likely to affect the Group’s
financial soundness or require restatement of the Group’s financial accounts (including as a result of
misrepresentations, errors, omissions or negligence), and, in the opinion of the Board, the performance
rights would not have otherwise vested.
Restriction on hedging
Hedging of performance rights by executives is prohibited under the plan rules and EBOS’ Securities
Trading Policy.
Change of control
Vesting of performance rights is subject to Board discretion.
Cessation of employment
Resignation: subject to the Board determining otherwise, unvested performance rights are forfeited.
Termination for cause: if an executive’s employment is terminated for cause, subject to the Board
determining otherwise, unvested and vested performance rights are forfeited.
Termination without cause (including circumstances such as redundancy and retirement): the Board shall
determine the treatment of unvested performance rights. All vested performance rights remain on foot
unless otherwise determined by the Board.

d. LTI hurdle explained
Each year, the Remuneration Committee reviews the LTI targets and vesting conditions in the context of EBOS’ operating environment and
performance.
FY25-FY27 performance rights
The Remuneration Committee approved a threshold underlying cash EPS CAGR target of 2% for the FY25 LTI grant. Details of the vesting
schedule are outlined in the table below:
As noted above, an additional performance measure based on ROCE with a range of 13.4%-15% will be introduced for performance rights to
be issued in FY26.
e. Executive Remuneration Mix
The weightings of executive remuneration components is as determined by the Remuneration Committee each year having regard to
market practice, the responsibilities of the CEO and the Executive Leadership Team, the performance of EBOS Group and any strategic
projects of EBOS Group from time to time. The FY25 Target and Stretch remuneration mix for the CEO and Executive Leadership Team is

a. CEO Resignation
Mr Cullity retired as Chief Executive Officer effective on 30 June 2025. Accordingly except as set out in b. below, section 4 relates to
Mr Cullity’s remuneration up to that date.
b. CEO Appointment
Mr Adam Hall commenced as CEO on 1 July 2025. His remuneration broadly reflects the Executive Remuneration Framework above.
Table 6 sets out the structure and relative weightings of Mr Hall’s remuneration structure for FY26.
In addition, to the above Mr Hall also received a sign-on award to compensate him for existing incentive arrangements foregone with his
previous employer, comprising a cash payment and the issue of performance rights that will be subject to service/ continued employment
conditions only.
In respect of the Short Term Incentive for FY26, there are two criteria (or ‘gates’) that must be met before a payment will be made, being
achievement of the WHS Index as defined by the Group and demonstrating behaviour consistent with the Group’s Code of Ethics. The
performance condition will be measured by reference to underlying EBITDA.
In respect of the Long Term Incentives to be issued in FY26, the performance conditions will be as described in Table 3, being measured by
reference to earnings per share and ROCE.

d. Key terms of Mr Cullity’s employment restraint
Mr Cullity’s employment agreement as Chief Executive Officer ceased on 30 June 2025. An 18 month post employment restraint will apply to
Mr Cullity from the date of cessation of his employment.
e. Relative weightings of CEO remuneration
There was no change to the structure of Mr Cullity’s remuneration for FY23, FY24 or FY25. Accordingly, the table below sets out the
relative weightings of Mr Cullity’s remuneration structure in respect of FY24 and FY25. The actual remuneration outcome for Mr Cullity is
summarised in Table 5 above with further details on each element of Mr Cullity’s remuneration outcome set out in section f. below.
f. CEO Remuneration Outcomes for FY25
The amounts set out in Table 5 and this section differ from the amounts included in Note H4 to the Financial Report and the table of
employee remuneration included on pages 116 and 117 which are reported according to accounting standards and, in respect of the table of
employee remuneration, in New Zealand dollars as required under Section 211 of the Companies Act 1993.
The accounting values of remuneration reported in Note H4 do not reflect what a person was actually paid during the financial year due to
a number of factors including the timing of payments of STIs as well as the valuation of share-based payments.
Fixed remuneration
In FY25, Mr Cullity received a base salary of $1,574,708 and compulsory superannuation contributions of $29,932 for a total fixed
remuneration of $1,604,640.
STI Outcomes
The Board’s practice is to only approve the payment of an STI to the CEO upon finalisation of EBOS’ audited accounts for the relevant
financial year. The table below shows the STI earned in respect of the relevant year and the STI actually paid to the CEO during that
financial year.

FY25 STI details (to be paid in FY26)
In respect of FY25 performance, Mr Cullity will receive, shortly
after the release of this annual report, an STI payment of
$1,700,000 .
The Board determined that the FY25 STI would be set by reference to:
• underlying EBITDA growth of the Group of 1% (‘threshold STI
entitlement’);
• underlying EBITDA growth of the Group of 6.9%
(‘target STI entitlement’); and
• underlying EBITDA growth of the Group of 10.2%
(‘maximum STI entitlement’).
Mr Cullity’s target STI entitlement under the FY25 STI was
$1,700,000 and his maximum STI entitlement was $2,550,000
(150% of his target STI entitlement). The target STI entitlement
was exceeded (underlying EBITDA growth was 7.5%) and the
Remuneration Committee determined that Mr Cullity will receive
his target STI entitlement of $1,700,000.
As referred to in Table 2 above, the Board has broad discretion in
relation to the award of STIs and health and safety leadership and
progress in relation to the Group’s ESG program was factored into
the Board’s determination of Mr Cullity’s STI outcome.
FY24 STI details (paid in FY25)
In respect of FY24 performance, Mr Cullity received an STI
payment of $2,550,000 in August 2024 (that is, during FY25)
following the finalisation of EBOS’ FY24 audited accounts.
The Board determined that the FY24 STI would be set by reference
to underlying EBITDA growth of the Group with ‘target’ and
‘stretch’ elements as follows:
• underlying EBITDA growth of the Group of 4.4%
(‘target STI entitlement’); and
• underlying EBITDA growth of the Group of 6.1%
(‘maximum STI entitlement’),
with straight-line pro-rata vesting between these points.
Mr Cullity’s target STI entitlement under the FY24 STI was
$1,700,000 and his maximum STI entitlement was $2,550,000
(150% of his target STI entitlement). As the stretch target for FY24
was exceeded (underlying EBITDA growth was 7.3%), Mr Cullity
received his maximum STI entitlement of $2,550,000.
As referred to in Table 2 above, the Board has broad discretion in
relation to the award of STIs and health and safety leadership and
progress in relation to the Group’s ESG program was factored into
the Board’s determination of Mr Cullity’s STI outcome.
LTI Outcomes
The Board’s practice is to only approve the vesting of an LTI
following finalisation of EBOS’ audited accounts for the last
financial year of the relevant performance period.
FY22 LTI (paid in FY25)
During FY25, Mr Cullity received LTIs with a value at the time
of vesting of $3,133,266.
2
This comprised the full vesting of
94,124 performance rights issued to Mr Cullity in respect of the
performance period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024. The Board
elected to satisfy the vesting of the performance rights by settling
the performance rights with cash and equity on a 50/50 basis.
Accordingly, Mr Cullity received:
• a cash payment of $1,566,633; and
• 47,062 shares for nil consideration.
The full vesting of the performance rights is as a result of the
achievement of the EPS performance hurdles for the three year
performance period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024, reinforcing
alignment with shareholder value creation over this period.

EBOS Annual Report 2025
FY23 LTI (tested in FY26)
In relation to the 80,195 performance rights issued in respect of the performance period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 (FY23 LTI),
it is expected that all of these performance rights will lapse as the three year EPS CAGR performance condition has not been achieved.
FY25 LTI (granted in FY25)
The performance conditions for the performance rights granted during FY25 (FY25 LTI) are described in Table 3 above. There was no
change to the maximum LTI for Mr Cullity in granting the FY25 LTI. Accordingly, the maximum LTI in the form of equity instruments for Mr
Cullity, which is inclusive of a stretch component, is $2,850,000. The performance period is from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. Accordingly,
these rights remain unvested as at 30 June 2025 and the vesting conditions will be tested following the conclusion of the FY27 financial year.
Summary of Mr Cullity’s LTIs

Section 5: Non-Executive Director Remuneration
To support the attraction and retention of directors of the highest calibre and requisite expertise from New Zealand, Australia and
internationally, the Group aims to set remuneration of non-executive directors having regard to:
• the time commitment and responsibilities of the non-executive directors (including any commitment as a member of a standing or ad hoc
Board committee and special exertion for significant project work outside of the normal workload for the Board and Committees); and
• market rates for non-executive director remuneration for comparable companies (by size, industry classification and complexity).
The Board has regard to this as part of its succession planning and the attraction and retention of directors from, or with experience in,
key geographic markets in which the Group operates, including Australia and Southeast Asia.
Non-executive director remuneration is in the form of fees. Non-executive directors do not receive performance-based or equity-based
remuneration.
Total remuneration for non-executive directors is subject to an aggregate fee pool limit of NZ$1,810,000 (including payments made in
respect of KiwiSaver and compulsory superannuation contributions) in any financial year. The fee pool was approved by shareholders at the
Annual Meeting held on 23 October 2024. The table below sets out the current fee allocations for director fees by position.
Directors’ remuneration and other benefits required to be disclosed pursuant to section 211(1) of the Companies Act 1993 for the year ended
30 June 2025 were as follows:
