Briscoe Group Limited Interim Report 2025

Directors’
Report

During the half-year, the Group

made significant progress across

several large strategic initiatives.

We remain dedicated to investing

in these strategic initiatives, even

in the current trading environment,

as we recognise the significant

benefits they will bring.

Interim Report, half-year to July 2025
Briscoe Group has delivered a solid performance for

the half-year ended 27 July 2025, maintaining sales

at near-record levels and progressing a number of

strategic initiatives designed to support future growth

and protect profitability in what continues to be a

highly challenging economic environment.

During the period under review the retail sector has

remained under pressure, with elevated inflation, rising

unemployment, and persistent cost-of-living concerns

continuing to suppress consumer confidence and

discretionary spending. Despite these headwinds,

the Group’s trading results reflect its resilience and

operational strength, with both store and online

channels performing solidly and key strategic projects

advancing on schedule.

Your Board acknowledges the efforts of the Group’s

management and operational teams throughout the

period. Their ability to adapt, innovate, and execute in

a volatile environment has been crucial to sustaining

performance. We are very excited by the innovations

developed and demonstrated by our support teams

and the benefits emerging from these activities.

During the half-year, the Group made significant

progress across its strategic initiatives. We remain

dedicated to investing in these projects, even in the

current trading environment, as we recognise the

significant benefits they will bring. The construction

of the new North Island distribution centre at Drury

remains on track and within budget, representing the

largest capital investment in the Group’s history and

a transformational step in supply chain capability.

The replatforming of our eCommerce operations to

Adobe Commerce and Marketplacer was successfully

completed, enhancing performance, scalability, and

customer experience. In addition, the first module of

our new merchandise planning and replenishment

system was implemented, major refurbishments were

completed at Briscoes Homeware Westgate and

Rebel Sport Henderson and significant progress was

also made on the development of Rebel Sport’s new

flagship store at Mt Wellington. These initiatives reflect

the Group’s continued focus on building long-term

capability while delivering operational excellence.

The economic environment is expected to remain

difficult in the near term, with no consistent signs of a

sustained recovery. While some indicators have shown

modest improvement, consumer sentiment remains

subdued and cost pressures persist across the retail

sector. In this context, the Group continues to focus

on the areas within its control – cost management,

inventory discipline, and promotional effectiveness

– while building capability for future growth. This

approach has proven successful in previous periods

of economic uncertainty and remains central to our

strategy. The Board is confident that the Group’s

ongoing investment in our strategic initiatives will

position it strongly to capitalise on future opportunities

as conditions improve.

The Group continues to be guided by the principles

that have shaped its long-term success – delivering

a compelling customer experience, offering trusted

brands and product ranges, and providing flexible

options for customers to engage with us. With a strong

balance sheet, disciplined cost management, and a

clear strategic roadmap, your Board remains confident

in the Group’s ability to navigate current challenges

and deliver sustainable growth.

Our Team

In a trading environment that continues to test the

resilience of the retail sector, the skill, commitment

and adaptability of our team remain central to Briscoe

Group’s performance. Across our store network, online

platform, distribution centre and support functions, our

people have once again demonstrated their ability to

deliver outstanding results under pressure.

In-store, our team members continue to be the face of

our brands aiming to provide customers with a friendly

and seamless shopping experience as recognised

by the increased Net Promoter Scores received from

our customers. Online, their creativity and technical

expertise support the evolution of our digital channels.

Behind the scenes, our fulfilment and support office

teams ensure that operations run smoothly and

efficiently, enabling the front-end to meet customer

expectations.

The Board acknowledges and deeply appreciates the

contribution of every team member. We thank them

for their continued dedication and professionalism.

It is important to us to recognise the continued efforts

of our team across the business and this first half has

seen the flow through of the 5% wage rate increase

delivered in 2024 as well as the additional 2.5% made

earlier this year.

We continue to invest in a broad range of programmes

to support team development and wellbeing. These

include health and safety initiatives, leadership

development, and tailored training across product

knowledge, customer service, and operational

systems. Our refreshed Management & Leadership

Briscoe Group Limited Interim Report 2025 | Directors’ Report

5

Development Programme has seen increased
participation and satisfaction, while our new learning

technology tools have halved the time required to

develop training modules and accelerated onboarding

for new team members.

Team engagement remains very strong, with our

internal survey results continuing to exceed industry

benchmarks. We’ve seen a further shift in responses

toward ‘Promoters’ and a decline in ‘Detractors’,

reinforcing the positive impact of our people-

focused initiatives.

Briscoe Group remains committed to providing stable,

secure employment and a workplace culture that

supports growth, inclusion and excellence. Our team

is the foundation of our success, and we will continue

to invest in their development and wellbeing as we

navigate the challenges ahead.

Strong Trading Performance

Briscoe Group’s trading performance for the first half of

2025 reflects the continued strength and adaptability

of the business in an environment that remains highly

challenging. Despite these headwinds, the Group

maintained its focus on delivering value to customers

and progressing important strategic initiatives.

The trading environment was mixed, with the first

quarter impacted by abnormal weather patterns and

promotional timing. However, the second quarter saw

a clear rebound, supported by targeted promotional

activity and improved customer engagement.

The Group’s ability to respond quickly to shifting

conditions and maintain momentum is a testament

to the operational discipline and strategic clarity that

underpin its performance.

Throughout the half-year, Briscoe Group continued

to refine its approach to inventory management,

promotional execution, and customer experience.

The transition to new digital platforms, including

Adobe Commerce and Marketplacer, has enhanced

the Group’s ability to deliver a seamless and scalable

online experience. At the same time, investment in

store refurbishments and the development of the new

Rebel Sport flagship store reflect a commitment to

elevating the physical retail environment.

Underlying profitability remained solid, despite margin

pressures and increased operating costs. The Group’s

ability to sustain performance in such conditions

highlights the resilience of its business model and the

effectiveness of its strategic initiatives.

Solid Financial Results

Sales revenue for the half-year was $371.27 million,

representing 99.8% of the record revenue achieved in

the first half of the previous year. While both Homeware

and Sporting Goods segments were marginally below

last year’s levels, the result reflects a strong performance

in a market characterised by economic uncertainty and

reduced consumer confidence.

Reported Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was $29.31

million, compared to $33.21 million in the prior half

year. While profitability was impacted by a decline in

gross margin and increased operating costs, the result

remains solid in the context of the current trading

environment. Gross profit margin declined from

42.97% to 41.43%. Our goal this year is to stabilise

gross profit % and while we’re progressing initiatives

to support this, the pace of economic recovery and

consumer confidence will be critical. Optimising gross

profit while maximising sales is a constant focus.

Interest income was lower than the previous year,

closing $1.96 million below prior levels due to reduced

interest rates and lower average cash balances, as

capital expenditure continued in support of the

Group’s strategic programme.

Inventory levels at $105.98 million were slightly

below the $106.32 million recorded at the same

time last year. The Group maintained a strong focus

on inventory quality and alignment with seasonal

demand, ensuring that stock levels remain appropriate

for the current trading environment. This disciplined

approach has positioned the business well to respond

to ongoing volatility in consumer demand.

Strong Financial Position

Briscoe Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with

cash balances of $119.83 million at the end of the

period, compared to $131.77 million at the same

time last year. Approximately $22 million of creditor

payments included in the trade payables balance were

paid by 31 July 2025.

The Group has announced plans to establish a funding

facility to support future cash flow requirements,

particularly in relation to the ongoing development of

the new distribution centre.

Capital investment for the half-year totalled $14.85

million, of which $10.37 million was allocated to the

distribution centre project. The project remains on

schedule, with practical completion expected in

April 2026.

Interim Dividend
The directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend

of 10.0 cents per share, reflecting a payout ratio of

76%. Books closed to determine entitlements at 5pm

on 19 September 2025, with payment to be made

on 9 October 2025. The company’s dividend policy

remains unchanged – to pay out at least 60% of NPAT

when calculated on a full-year basis.

As with last year’s final dividend, this interim dividend

reflects the Group’s increased focus on a number

of innovative strategic initiatives, its substantial

investment programme across the next two years, and

acknowledges the impact of economic headwinds

on profitability. The Board remains committed to

balancing shareholder returns with the need to invest

in long-term capability and resilience.

Store Network

The Group continued to invest in its physical retail

footprint during the half-year, with a focus on elevating

the customer experience and future-proofing the store

network. Two major refurbishments were completed

at Briscoes Homeware Westgate and Rebel Sport

Henderson, transforming these locations into modern,

high-impact retail environments. These upgrades

included energy-efficient lighting, enhanced Click &

Collect facilities, and refreshed visual merchandising

aligned with our latest store design concepts.

Significant progress was also made on the

development of Rebel Sport’s new flagship store at

Mt Wellington. Scheduled to open in November,

this store will set a new benchmark for sports

retail in Australasia, combining elevated product

ranges, immersive customer zones, and integrated

retail media. The concept has been developed in

partnership with leading retail design experts and

reflects our ambition to continue to evolve the Rebel

Sport brand experience.

Planning is also underway for further refurbishments

across the network. These initiatives are designed to

ensure our stores remain vibrant, relevant, and aligned

with evolving customer expectations.

Online and Digital

The Group’s online business continued to grow, with

online sales increasing to 19.36% of total Group sales.

The transition to Adobe Commerce and Marketplacer

platforms was completed in August, delivering a

faster, more flexible and scalable digital experience for

customers and internal teams alike.

Several enhancements were made to improve fulfilment

efficiency and customer satisfaction, including the

expansion of same-day delivery services, improved

Click & Collect workflows, and the redesign of back-

of-house areas in key stores. These changes have

contributed to a 4% year-on-year increase in Click &

Collect share and a 2% reduction in labour spend.

Briscoe Group Limited Interim Report 2025 | Directors’ Report

We also continued to invest in digital content and
customer engagement tools, including the expansion

of our VIP Clubs and loyalty programmes.

With over 2.1 million members, our clubs are a key

driver of frequency and lifetime value. A new Rebel

Sport rewards programme is in development and

scheduled for launch during 2026.

Strategic Development Initiatives

The Group’s strategic development programme

remains focused on building long-term capability

across supply chain, digital, and customer experience.

The new North Island distribution centre at Drury

is progressing on time and within budget, with the

shell of the 320,000 cubic metre facility now largely

complete. Practical completion is expected in early

2026, with automation and software integration to

follow. By owning this new facility we have secured a

strategic asset that will not only increase in value but

will reduce future cost base escalation.

The implementation of the new merchandise planning

and replenishment system is well underway, with the

first module live and delivering early benefits. This

system will enhance our ability to manage inventory,

optimise allocation, and respond to demand in real time.

The electronic shelf labelling programme has now

been rolled out across the network, replacing

traditional ticketing with centrally controlled digital

pricing. As well as positively impacting sales, this

initiative has improved pricing accuracy, reduced

in-store labour, and enhanced sustainability by

reducing paper-based ticketing.

All these initiatives form part of the Group’s capital

investment programme designed to support growth

well beyond current capacity and, whilst we are

inevitably incurring associated short-term cost, the

benefits over the next decade will be significant.

The next phase of the strategic plan is already in

development, with a focus on unlocking new revenue

streams, enhancing data-driven decision-making, and

deepening customer relationships.

Sustainability

During the half-year, the Group continued to advance

its sustainability programme, with key initiatives

including the expansion of the Ethical Supply Chain

Programme, the electrification of our forklift fleet,

and the expansion of the product return diversion

programme.

These efforts not only reinforce our dedication to

ethical and sustainable operations but also deliver

tangible value across our business and to broader

stakeholders: our communities, our team, and

the environment. As we continue to progress our

sustainability strategy, we remain mindful of the need

to balance the associated costs, anticipated benefits,

and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.

Half-Year Review

The interim financial statements for the 26-week

period ended 27 July 2025 presented in this report

are unaudited, but have been reviewed independently

by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has issued

an unqualified independent review report to the

company’s shareholders (refer to pages 31–32).

Corporate Governance

Briscoe Group remains committed to the highest

standards of governance and ethical conduct. The

Group’s governance framework is aligned with the

NZX Corporate Governance Code and includes a

comprehensive suite of policies covering areas such

as sustainability, climate risk, privacy, remuneration,

and continuous disclosure. We have recently

completed our annual Directors’ Review process and

are pleased with the results and recommendations

that have been adopted.

The Board has recently appointed Mark Cairns as an
additional director of the Company. This follows the

announcement last year of Andy Coupe’s intention

to retire from the Board at next year’s Annual

Shareholders Meeting. Mark is an experienced

business leader with demonstrated commercial

abilities in logistics, infrastructure, complex supply

chains and capital markets gained across a number

of notable organisations including roles as Chief

Executive for Port of Tauranga, Toll Owens and Owens

Cargo Company. His experience and skills will be of

immense benefit to the Group.

Outlook

The Group continues to adhere to the values that have

served it well over time – to offer a compelling and

enjoyable shopping experience, to provide customers

with access to trusted international brands, and to

deliver value through both physical and digital channels.

While the economic outlook remains uncertain, we are

encouraged by the resilience of our business and the

progress made on key strategic initiatives. Our focus

remains on delivering solid near-term performance

while building the platform for future growth.

From left: Andy Coupe, Rod Duke, Mark Callaghan, Dame Rosanne Meo (Chair) and Tony Batterton.

We remain cautious about the retail trading

environment for the remainder of the year, with

ongoing cost pressures and subdued consumer

sentiment expected to persist. However, the Group is

well positioned to respond to these challenges, and

we are confident in our ability to continue delivering

market-leading results.

Sustainability
As a Business

we continue taking

Steps to a Better

Tomorrow.

Our Steps to a Better Tomorrow programme continues to deliver value
for our people, our communities and our environment.

Key highlights for the first half include:

Environment

Scaling up our Product Returns Programme

In the first half we expanded our Product Returns

Programme to include further stores in Northland

and the wider Canterbury region. This brings the total

percentage of stores covered by the programme to

44% (previously 34%).

We are encouraged to see the broader community

impact this programme is delivering, with refurbished

product being donated to kiwis in need through our

resource recovery partners.

Completed our store network Forklift

Electrification Programme

This initiative is a key contributor to reducing our

Scope 1 emissions, in line with our emissions reduction

roadmap. The only remaining LPG units are at our

Distribution Centre (DC), which will be replaced when

we move to the new DC facility.

Supporting Recycling and Circular Customer Journeys

Following a successful trial, we’ve now rolled out the

Nespresso Capsule Recycling Programme to all 47

Briscoes Homeware stores, establishing ourselves

as Nespresso’s key recycling point partner. This

programme marks an important first step in exploring

end-of-life diversion options and finding more ways to

support our customers on their sustainability journeys.

Governance

Expanding our Ethical Supply Chain Programme

Building on the work we already do with overseas

suppliers we successfully launched our Local Ethical

Supply Chain Programme, aiming to strengthen due

diligence across our local supplier network. By including

local suppliers, we’re working toward consistency and

transparency for all our supply partners, helping mitigate

the risks that exist within our supply chain.

Deepening our Climate Disclosures

We released our second climate statement in our FY25

Annual report and continue to progress our reporting

in this area. Focus is now being given to our scope 3

emissions calculations and continuous improvement

of our disclosures.

Giving Boots a Second Life

In partnership with REPLAY, ReSport and adidas,

we launched the Rebel Sport Boot drive. The drive

saw over 1,200 donated boots given a second life

(going to kids and families who need them), helping

remove the barriers to sports participation while

keeping boots out of landfill.


We want to thank adidas and our

charity partners, REPLAY and ReSport

for helping us get these boots to

the communities that need them.

And thank you to our customers for

helping more Kiwis get on the field

and play the sport they love.

– Andrew Scott (COO)

Social
Community

Delivering Impact for NZ Grassroot Sport

We continue to support our communities and deliver

value to grassroot sports in New Zealand through

our Rebel Sport Grants programme. In the first half

33 grants were awarded through the programme,

bringing the total since launch to 93. By providing

funding and sports equipment to clubs and sporting

groups, we are enabling more Kiwis to get into sports.

You can meet our inspiring grant recipients on our

Rebel Sport website. For more information visit

www.rebelsport.co.nz/grants/

Passing It Forward to Those Who Need It Most

Over 6,500 balls through the Pass-it-Forward

programme in the first half, getting sports equipment

into the hands of kids who need it the most while

supporting clubs and schools across the country. We

continue to provide financial and mentoring support

to three talented female athletes through our Pass-it-

Forward scholarships.

Fundraising for Child Health Research

Over $294,000 raised for Curekids in the first half of

the year, helping fund essential child health research

for diseases like Childhood Cancers and Rheumatic

Heart Disease.

Our People
Embedding Safer Manual Handling through

Immersive VR Training

We continue to see success with our targeted First

Move training initiative which addresses manual

handling injuries by delivering consistent, immersive,

virtual reality education across Briscoe Group sites.

Approximately two thirds of Briscoe Group sites have

received and implemented this training solution. Early

feedback indicates improved handling behaviours and

increased engagement, with supporting tools such as

our online learning tool Axonify and onsite enthusiastic

team members, ‘VR Champions’, who have helped our

managers embed the programme into

daily operations.

Launch of Enhanced Parental Leave

The first half of the year saw our new Parental Leave

support come into effect, providing additional income

support for new parents and the introduction of

Partner’s Leave. We’ve also taken steps to address the

‘Parenting Penalty’ through committing to KiwiSaver

contributions during their period of absence.

Developing our Leaders

We continue to equip and empower our current and

future leaders, with 3 cohorts (31 team members)

having completed our leadership training in the first

half of this year.

Supply
Chain

This programme will provide an

increased capability to service

our stores and online customers

with enhanced levels of availability

therefore increasing our sales and

margin delivery.

Supply Chain Transformation

Our Largest Supply Chain Transformation
As part of our strategic transformation to deliver

the best retail experience in New Zealand our supply

chain overhaul is well progressed. The end-to-end

improvements are progressing to plan and

within budget.

This programme will provide an increased capability to

service our stores and online customers with enhanced

levels of availability therefore increasing our sales and

margin delivery.

The programme of work encompasses all parts of

the product supply chain from item planning through

to optimised distribution. It will enhance internal

processes, systems, people capability and build a

world class supply chain infrastructure.

Our new merchandising system, Impact Analytics,

is now in the implementation stage with the initial

modules going live in August. This new tool uses

comprehensive forecasting algorithms to tailor

our product ranges to deliver increased customer

satisfaction and therefore increased sales. Impact

Analytics leverages AI to remove workload for our

merchandising teams and allow them to focus

on more value adding tasks.

The current plan is to have the full suite of modules

live early 2026. This will provide the foundation for

optimised inventory management, and coupled

with the enhanced capabilities at our new Auckland

Distribution Centre (DC), will optimise our product

flow to both stores and online customers.

The new DC is our largest ever capital investment

programme, with a forecast investment in excess

of $110m. This strategic investment will provide a

competitive edge and act as a defensive mechanism

against increasing international retail competition.

The state-of-the-art facility will help to reduce stock

level in stores by holding more in the DC and regularly

replenishing our stores in line with demand, delivering a

marked improvement in on-shelf availability.

The key milestones of the new facility are:

• Configuration, development and testing of Phase 2

of the Warehouse Management System for the new

DC is underway and completes by March 2026.

• Construction of the building continues through until

practical completion expected in late April 2026.

• The automation equipment is on track (the first

shipments of materials left Europe in September

2025), and build commences December 2025.

The full system is scheduled for completion in

September 2026 after commissioning and a

thorough testing phase.

• The new DC facility including automation will be

fully operational and ready to run at full volume by

January 2027.

Once the new site is up and running the benefits will

come for Briscoes Homeware first with Rebel Sport

shortly behind. These benefits will deliver cost savings,

increased sales and increased margin.

The new DC will free up at least 25,000 sqm of

space in store - this is the equivalent of around 15 to

20 stores - and provides the platform for new and

extended product ranges and an improved shopping

experience.

We have taken a carefully phased approach to

transforming the way we flow inventory through our

network to our stores. These initiatives will provide

new capability and a platform for significant growth

over the next decade.

Briscoe Group Limited Interim Report 2025 | Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Reporting Entity

Briscoe Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a retailer of homeware and sporting goods.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and is listed on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (NZX). Briscoe Group Limited is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC Reporting Entity under Part

7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The address of its registered office is 1 Taylors Road, Morningside, Auckland 1025,

New Zealand. The Company is registered in Australia as a foreign company under the name Briscoe Group Australasia Limited

and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as a foreign exempt entity. (NZX / ASX code: BGP).

2. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) have been prepared

in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) and comply with the requirements of

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard (NZ IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules. The Group is designated

as a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes.

The interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements

for the period ended 26 January 2025 and any public announcements made by Briscoe Group Limited during the interim

reporting period and up to the date of these interim financial statements.

These interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the

Group’s presentation currency.

The interim financial statements are in respect of the 26-week period from 27 January 2025 to 27 July 2025. The comparative

period is in respect of the 26-week period from 29 January 2024 to 28 July 2024. The year-end balance date will be 25 January

2026 and full financial statements will cover the 52-week period from 27 January 2025 to 25 January 2026. The Group operates

on a weekly trading and reporting cycle resulting in 52-weeks for most years with a 53-week year occurring once every 5-6 years.

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

that affect the reported amounts in the interim financial statements. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on

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

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

from assumptions, this could result in adjustments to carrying amounts of the asset or liability affected. The same judgements,

estimates and assumptions included in the notes to the financial statements for the full year period ended 26 January 2025 have

been applied to these interim financial statements.

Other comprehensive income reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the 26-week period ended

28 July 2024 has been amended to remove the component of cash flow hedge reserve which represented transfers of hedging

gains/losses upon settlement of forward contracts net of tax as separately disclosed in the statement of changes in equity

($361,597). The change is limited to the statement of changes in equity and other comprehensive income and has no impact on

profit, cash flow or the balance sheet of the Group.

3. Accounting Policies

The interim financial statements of the Group for the 26-week period ended 27 July 2025 have been prepared using the same

accounting policies and methods of computations as, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial statements and

related notes included in the Group’s Annual Report for the full year period ended 26 January 2025.

4. Seasonality

The Group’s revenue and profitability follow a seasonal pattern with higher sales and net profits typically achieved in the

second half of the financial year as a result of additional sales generated during the Christmas trading period.

5. Segment Information

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

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

segment. Eliminations and unallocated amounts as shown below are primarily attributable to the Company. There were no

inter-segment sales in the period (2024: Nil).

Information in relation to the operations of each reportable operating segment is included below. Segment profit represents

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

companies, Briscoes (New Zealand) Limited and The Sports Authority Limited (trading as Rebel Sport). Earnings before

interest and tax (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure and used to assess the performance of the operating segments. This measure

should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. This non-

GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

12. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risk (including currency and interest rate risk), credit risk

and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s

financial performance. The Group uses certain derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures

required in the annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements

for the period ending 26 January 2025. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since year end.

Based on NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the fair value of each financial instrument is categorised in its entirety based on

the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value measurement. The levels are defined as follows:


Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted in active market for identical assets and liabilities);

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly

(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices);

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability, that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs).


The financial instruments held by the Group that are measured at fair value are; over-the-counter derivatives (foreign

exchange contracts) and an investment in equity securities. The derivatives have been determined to be within level 2 (for the

purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the fair value hierarchy as all significant inputs required to ascertain the fair values are observable.

The investment in equity securities is determined to be within level 1 as quoted prices are available from an active equities

market for identical securities. There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the period.


There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial instrument.


Trade debtors, trade creditors, related party payables and bank balances

The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.


Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments comprise of forward foreign exchange contracts which have been fair valued using market

forward foreign exchange rates at period end.


Investment in equity securities

The investment in equity securities has been fair valued using equity prices quoted on market at period end.

The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 27 July 2025:

On 30 July 2025 164,657 performance rights were issued to key senior executives under the Briscoe Group Senior Executive

Incentive Plan. The plan was established in 2019 and this is the 8th tranche of performance rights to have been issued under the

Share, both of which are measured over a three-year period.

On 9 September 2025 the Directors resolved to provide for an interim dividend to be paid in respect of the 52-week period

ending 25 January 2026. The dividend will be paid at a rate of 10.00 cents per share on issue as at 19 September 2025, with full

imputation credits attached (refer Note 11).


15. Accounting Standards

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the period ended 26 January

2025, as described in those annual financial statements.

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are

not mandatory for the 27 July 2025 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. Other than NZ IFRS 18

these standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or

future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

NZ IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or

after 1 January 2027. This new standard, which is mandatory for the Group in the 2028 financial year, is expected to change

the presentation of the Group’s consolidated income statement. The Group will disclose more information in the future when

a full assessment of the impact of the standard has been completed.

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of Briscoe Group Limited

Report on the consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of Briscoe Group

Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at

27 July 2025, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive inco me, the

consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the 26-week period

ended on that date, and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory

information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim

financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group

as at 27 July 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for the 26-week period then ended, in accordance

with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised)

Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)).

Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim

financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to

the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance

with these ethical requirements. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in,

the Group.

Responsibilities of Directors for the interim financial statements

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

interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors

determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410

(Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34

and NZ IAS 34.

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for

financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and

consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that

we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company

and the Company’s Shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report or for the conclusion we have

formed.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is John (Jolly) Morgan.
