Savor Reports 2026 Annual Results

26 May 2026


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

Zealand’s largest hospitality groups, presents its results for the financial year ended 31 March 2026.


Highlights:

• Net profit after tax of $1.3m (2025: net loss of $1.2m). Grossed up to reflect the Group’s tax

loss carry forward this represents a cash equivalent NPAT of circa $1.8m.

• Savor’s operating earnings* for FY26 were $8.0m (2025: $7.3m), at the top end of the

guidance range issued in March 2026.

• Revenue of $55.2m (2025: $56.6m), with operating earnings margin of 14.5%, the strongest

in the Group’s history.

• Operating cash flows continued to be strong at $7.2m, an increase of 13% on the prior year

(2025: $6.4m), before working capital movements. Reported operating cash flows were

$6.9m.

• Earnings per share of 1.7 cents (FY25: -1.6 cents).

• Group borrowings have continued to reduce, with leverage of 1.92 times at 31 March 2026

and a subsequent reduction to 1.8 times following the further repayment in April 2026. Net

debt further reduces Group leverage to approximately 1.4 times.


These results mark a significant milestone for the Group. Returning to profitability while delivering

our strongest margins to date, in a year where consumer spending remained under sustained

pressure, is a testament to the quality of our brands, the discipline of our teams, and the considered

shift to improve the quality of the Group’s earnings and the venues delivering them.

The Group’s continued focus on cost control is reflected in the strength of these results. While input

costs remain under pressure across a variety of sectors, cost of goods sold as a percentage of

revenue improved by over 1% to below 28%, and venue wages continued their improvement,

delivering approximately $1m of additional contribution. Utilities and overhead costs continue to be

actively managed and reduced where possible. Together, these operational improvements have

delivered a meaningful and durable lift in the Group’s operating earnings margin.















The Group’s balance sheet continued to strengthen. Leverage reduced from 2.4 times to 1.92 times

at 31 March 2026, and the Group ended the year with net cash on hand of $1.7m. Subsequent to

year end, the Group repaid a further $0.5m of borrowings in April 2026, reducing leverage to 1.80

times. Savor remains on track to deliver its first dividend to shareholders later in the year, as

announced in March 2026.

Bar Ziti and Flush Golf, the Group’s two new Britomart venues, opened in September 2025 and have

made a meaningful contribution in their first six months of trading. Flush Golf in particular has been

trading ahead of expectation, with the entertainment-led format supporting stronger margins and

lower variable labour intensity than a comparable food-led venue. Together, the two venues have

broadened the Group’s audience, and the Board expects their contribution to grow further as they

mature.


Outlook

As the global economic outlook remains uncertain, the Group is not yet in a position to reconfirm

the previous guidance issued for the FY27 year, but will provide a further update at the Annual

Shareholders Meeting in September. That said, with over 65% of the Group’s earnings historically

generated through the summer months, at this stage we can look through the current instability

when forecasting the likely year end position.


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

“FY26 has been a year of tremendous progress for the Group in what’s been a tough

year for the sector. Revenue softened by under 3%, but Underlying EBITDA lifted 10%

and our margin reached a new high. That’s the result of consistent discipline at the

venue level — and importantly, it’s what puts us on track to deliver Savor’s first

dividend to shareholders.”


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

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

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
It is our pleasure to present Savor Group's results for

the financial year ended 31 March 2026. This has been a

landmark year for the Group, one in which we delivered

a strong net profit, achieved record earnings margins,

and made the decisive progress on our balance sheet

that should enable us to pay Savor’s first dividend to

shareholders.

This is not an outcome that came about in a single

year. It is the result of a multi-year commitment to cost

discipline, brand investment, and deliberate capital

management. We are proud of what the entire Savor

team has delivered, and we believe the platform we have

built positions the Group well for a period of sustained

and growing returns.

A RECORD YEAR

Against an Auckland economy still working through cost-

of-living pressures, the Group delivered:

• Net profit after tax of $1.3m (FY25: net loss of $1.2m).

Grossed up to reflect the Group's tax loss carry

forward this represents a cash equivalent NPAT of

circa $1.8m.

• Operating earnings of $8.0m, up 10% on the prior

year, representing a record net extraction rate of

14.5% (FY25: 12.8%), reflecting the top end of the

guidance range issued during March 2026.

• Revenue of $55.2m (FY25: $56.6m). The 2.6% decline

reflects the planned exit from the Seafarers building

at the end of FY25, partially offset by the contribution

from Bar Ziti and Flush Golf.

• Underlying operating cash flow of $7.2m, up 13% on

the prior year (FY25: $6.4m), reflecting the genuine

improvement in earnings quality.

• Leverage reduced from 2.4 times to 1.92 times at

31 March 2026, and to 1.80 times following a further

$0.5m debt repayment in April 2026. Net debt further

reduces Group leverage to approximately 1.4 times.

• Earnings per share of 1.7 cents (FY25: −1.6 cents).

HOW THE MARGIN HELD

What stands out about FY26 is the durability of the

margin. Despite revenue easing 2.6%, operating earnings

increased 10%, operating leverage of the kind that only

comes from sustained cost discipline at the venue level.

Cost of goods sold improved by more than 1% to

below 28% of revenue. Venue wages improved by

approximately $1m. Utilities and overheads remained

under active management. The four-pillar performance

management framework — labour, cost of goods,

overheads and procurement, that we introduced in FY24

is now embedded in the way every venue runs. Together,

these operational improvements have delivered a

meaningful and durable lift in the Group's earnings

extraction rate.

BAL

ANCE SHEET STRENGTH AND A FIRST

DIVIDEND

The Group's balance sheet continued to strengthen

through the year. Total borrowings reduced as expected.

Leverage fell from 2.4 times to 1.92 times. The Group

ended the year with net cash on hand of $1.7m.

Subsequent to balance date, a further $0.5m of

borrowings was repaid in April 2026, taking gross

leverage to 1.80 times.

Reflecting this strengthened position, the consistency of

our cash generation, and the Board's confidence in the

forward earnings of the Group, Savor remains on track to

deliver a dividend to shareholders later in the financial

year, as announced to the market in March 2026. The

Board first signalled this intent in the FY23 annual report;

four years on, with the financial discipline of the Group

now self-evident in the numbers, we are pleased to be in

a position to deliver it.

BA

R ZITI AND FLUSH GOLF

In September 2025, Savor opened Bar Ziti and Flush

Golf, two new venues in a single Britomart site. Bar Ziti

brings a confident new dining concept to the precinct.

Flush Golf introduces our first entertainment-led offering,

combining state-of-the-art golf simulators with a craft

food and drinks experience.

The two venues have made a meaningful contribution

in their short trading period and have broadened the

Group's audience. We are particularly pleased with how

Flush Golf is performing as the entertainment-led model

is supporting stronger margins and lower variable labour

intensity than a comparable food-led venue, validating

the strategic logic for the format. The Board expects the

venues' contribution to grow further as they mature.

DISCIPLINED GROWTH STRATE

GY

Savor continues to be approached with expansion

opportunities across New Zealand, often with attractive

incentives. Our posture remains selective. We invest

where the brand fit is right, where the deal terms reflect

the value our brands bring, and where the financial

returns are clear. Bar Ziti and Flush Golf are a good

example of that discipline, a high-impact opportunity, the

right precinct, and a deal structure that recognises what

Savor contributes.

We continue to look for both organic growth from our

existing venues and disciplined inorganic opportunities

where they meet our criteria.

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, COST CONTROL
AND AI INITIATIVES

Alongside the operational improvements achieved

during FY26, the Group has also commenced a in-

house broader technology and artificial intelligence

programme designed to improve customer

engagement, strengthen venue-level profitability, and

further enhance earnings quality across the portfolio.

These tools are expected to materially reduce the

time, cost and operational lag traditionally associated

manual execution. While these initiatives remain in

varying stages of implementation, the Board believes

the application of operational technology and artificial

intelligence across marketing, labour management

and procurement represents an important next step

in improving the scalability, resilience and long-term

profitability of the Group.

OUTLOOK

As the global economic outlook remains uncertain,

the Group is not yet in a position to reconfirm the

previous guidance issued for the FY27 year, but will

provide a further update at the Annual Shareholders

Meeting in September. That said, with over 65% of the

Group’s earnings historically generated through the

summer months, at this stage we can look through the

current instability when forecasting the likely year end

position.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

On behalf of the Board and management team, we

extend our sincere thanks for your continued support

and investment in Savor. The shareholder discount we

have announced this year is a small but meaningful

step in returning the trust you have placed in us.

We look forward to welcoming you at our Annual

Shareholders Meeting in September.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Robinson

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Highlights

The Savor AI project
AI at Savor is a priority we are building in-house.

Over the past year, AI-supported tools have been

progressively integrated into how we operate, built

alongside the four-pillar discipline introduced in

FY24.

This is a bootstrap effort, led by the CEO and a small

internal team. There is no large external programme,

no contractor build, no significant capital commitment.

The dramatic improvement in commercially-available

language models and the cloud-based tools built around

them over the past six months has made this practical at

a scale that would have required a dedicated research

team only twelve months ago.

A BUILD IN PROGRESS. A GOAL IN VIEW.

The Group maintains human oversight on all material AI-supported outputs. AI does not replace decision-making by management or the Board.

Pilots are running across marketing, finance and

operations; deeper builds in venue revenue intelligence

and predictive wage management are in active design.

Few New Zealand hospitality groups are integrating AI

across this many parts of their operating model. We

see the lead this gives us, built quickly, built lean,

built in-house, as compounding over time.

14

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Operational Intelligence

The six streams
WHERE WE ARE PULLING AI THROUGH THE OPERATING MODEL.

01. Marketing

ALWAYS-ON CREATIVE, SMARTER TARGETING.

• AI is now supporting content production across

social, email and in-venue CRM, at a pace the

team could not otherwise sustain.

• Customer segmentation models are being

trained on booking and POS data to predict

propensity-to-book.

• Goal: weekly creative optimisation across every

venue, with brief-to-launch in days, not weeks.

02. Accounting & Finance

CLOSING FASTER, SEEING FURTHER.

• AI-assisted invoice capture and coding is

handling thousands of transactions monthly

with reduced manual handling.

• Automated reconciliation and earlier month-

end forecasting are in active build.

• Goal: anomaly detection across supplier

charges, payroll exceptions and margin shifts.

03. Venue Labour

FORECASTING IN. ROSTERING OPTIMISED.

• Demand forecasting models are being

trained, combining historical covers with

bookings, weather and event signals.

• AI-supported rostering proposals — sized to

forecast covers and the venue’s wage target

— are in build.

• Goal: cross-venue staff allocation during

shoulder periods.

04. Depot & Cost of Goods

FROM CENTRAL DEPOT TO PREDICTIVE

SUPPLY CHAIN.

• Demand forecasting per venue, per SKU, is

now informing central depot ordering.

• Wastage prediction and supplier price

benchmarking against contracts are in

development.

• Goal: recipe-level true margin per dish, near

real time, as input prices move.

THE PRIZE: EVERY 1% REDUCTION IN THE WAGE LINE EQUATES TO CIRCA $1M

TO THE BOTTOM LINE. A REAL OPPORTUNITY.

05. Venue Revenue

Intelligence

FLOOR STAFF AS A SALES FORCE FOR A

$55M BUSINESS.

• Real-time sales data per waiter, per shift,

is being structured from POS into a single

performance view.

• Goal: live dashboards on cheque size, upsell

rate, revenue per hour and repeat covers, per

person.

• Goal: identify high performers and lift the

bottom quartile through coaching and

incentive design.

06. Predictive Wage

Management

REAL-TIME WAGE DISCIPLINE, CONTRACT-

AWARE.

• A predictive wage model is in active build,

integrating roster, real-time POS revenue and

individual staff contracts.

• Real-time alerts will surface projected wage

variance exceeding the venue’s target through

the shift.

• Goal: contract-aware send-home

recommendations — managers shaving fractions

off the wage line, week in, week out.

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Operational Intelligence

Corporate Governance
The overall responsibility for ensuring that the

corporate governance and accountability of

the Company is properly managed, thereby

enhancing investor confidence, lies with the

Board of Directors. A copy of Savor’s

Corporate Governance Code (“Code”),

current as at 26 May 2026, is available on

the Savor website at www.savor.co.nz.

The Code is generally consistent with the principles

identified in the NZX Corporate Governance Code

(version dated 31 January 2025). Savor followed the

recommendations in the NZX Corporate Governance

Code throughout the year and as at 1 April 2026,

except that:

• the Company did not have a majority of

independent Directors (per recommendation 2.8);

• the Company did not have an independent Chair of

the Board (per recommendation 2.9); and

• the Company does not have an Audit and Risk

Committee comprising solely of Non-Executive

Directors (per recommendation 3.1).

These departures from the NZX Corporate Governance

Code are primarily due to the size and composition

of the Board. The Board considers that to increase

the number of Directors on the Board or to have an

independent Chair to comply with the Code would

bring undue cost to the Group, given the skills and

experience of the current Directors are complementary

to one another and specific to the needs to the

Company. The Board seeks external expert advice on a

range of legal, financial and commercial matters where

specialist assistance is required.

The Company will continue to monitor best practice in

the governance area and update its policies to ensure

it maintains the most appropriate standards.

An outline of the Company’s governance arrangements

are set out below. Further detail is available on the

Company’s website www.savor.co.nz.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategic

direction of Savor and supervising Savor’s management

for the benefit of shareholders. The roles and

responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Code.

The specific responsibilities of the Board include:

• Working with management to review and approve the

business and financial plans that set the strategic

direction of Savor

• Monitor the Company’s performance against its

approved strategic, business and financial plans and

oversee the Company’s operating results on a regular

basis so as to evaluate whether the business is being

properly managed

• Establishing and overseeing succession plans for the

Chief Executive Officer and senior management

• Monitoring compliance and risk management

• Establishing and monitoring Savor’s health and

safety policies

• Ensuring effective disclosure policies and

procedures are adopted

• Ensuring effective reporting processes and

procedures

• Ensuring the quality and independence of the

Company’s external audit process

Directors are required to undertake appropriate training

to remain current on how to best perform their duties as

Directors of Savor.

The Board has agreed that the performance of

the Board, its Committees, and Directors will be

independently evaluated at least once every three

years. However, this currently remains deferred due

to controlling costs in the challenging economic

landscape.

BOARD MEETING AND COMMITTEE

ATTENDANCE

During the year to 31 March 2026 the Company held

12 Board meetings. The Audit & Risk Committee met on

four occasions. Attendance by individual Directors was

Corporate Governance

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

to govern the conduct of Directors, senior managers and

other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s directors and managers are expected

to lead according to these standards of ethical and

professional conduct and to ensure that they are

communicated to the people who report to them. The

Code addresses, amongst other matters, conflicts of

interest, receipt of gifts, confidentiality and fair business

practices.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP

As at 31 March 2026, the Board consisted of two

Independent Directors and two Executive Directors, who

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

Each Savor Director is a skilled and experienced

business person. Together they provide value by making

quality contributions to corporate governance matters,

conceptual thinking, strategic planning, policies and

providing guidance to management.

The Chair of the Board and the CEO are different

people.

As at 31 March 2026 the Company’s Directors were:

Paul Robinson - Executive Chair

Paul Robinson was appointed to the Board in April 2019

and was last re-elected by shareholders in September

2025. Paul is currently Chair of the Board and a member

of the Audit & Risk and People & Culture Committees.

Paul Robinson has twenty years’ experience in

structured finance and strategy. From 1999 Paul spent

nine years originating structured trades based in London

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

and his family moved back to New Zealand to enjoy life

here and to take an active role in Savor Group where he

had a long term shareholding.

Lucien Law - Executive Director & CEO

Lucien Law was appointed to the Board in April 2019 and

was last re-elected by shareholders in September 2025.

Lucien is currently a member of the People & Culture

Committee.

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

Auckland hospitality, overseeing the building of a group

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

dining and entertainment scene.

His projects include award-winning modern Japanese

restaurants Azabu and Ebisu, contemporary New Zealand

brasserie Ostro, along with Fukoku, Las Vegas Club

and Mission Bay Pavilion. One of his most ambitious

developments is Seafarers, spanning several floors in

the historic Seafarers building at Auckland’s Britomart.

Prior to his involvement in hospitality, Lucien founded

highly successful independent communications agency

Shine, which has worked with brands including Spark,

Hyundai, Fonterra and Lion Breweries.

Louise Alexander - Independent Director

Louise Alexander was appointed to the Board in April

2021 and last re-elected by shareholders in September

2024. Louise is currently the Chair of the People &

Culture Committee and a member of the Audit & Risk

and Remuneration Committees.

Louise is a senior HR practitioner and people leader

and is currently a Director of People Synergistics,

which offers strategic HR advice and support for clients

across a range of industries and sectors. Prior to this

Louise was the HR Director for Belly Gully, from 2015 to

2024.

Louise brings a critical skillset to Savor, where the

success of the Group is driven by its teams in the

venues.

Bhupen Master - Independent Director

Bhupen Master was appointed to the Board in August

2023 and elected by shareholders in September

2023. Bhupen is currently Chair of the Audit & Risk

Committee.

Bhupen has spent his extensive career working with

some of the top financial institutions worldwide. Bhupen

was most recently an Executive Director of Goldman

Sachs with extensive experience in global markets

covering institutional investors and was instrumental

in leading numerous capital raisings during his time.

Prior to this, Bhupen spent over 20 years working

in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom

for Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank.

Bhupen’s extensive experience in the capital markets

and strategic transactions strengthens the Board’s

diverse skills and experience, and are essential to assist

in guiding the Group as it continues on its growth

trajectory.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

In order for a Director to be independent, the Board has

determined that he or she must not be an executive of

Savor and must have no disqualifying relationship as

defined in the Code and the Listing Rules.

The Board has determined that as at 31 March 2026,

Bhupen Master and Louise Alexander are Independent

Directors.

Corporate Governance

NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF
DIRECTORS

The Code sets out the appointment procedure for

Directors. The Board is responsible for identifying and

recommending candidates. Directors may also be

nominated by shareholders under the Listing Rules.

On appointment to the Board, a Director is given an

appointment letter, which includes particular terms of his

or her appointment.

A Director may be appointed by ordinary resolution

and all Directors are subject to removal by ordinary

resolution.

The Board may at any time appoint additional Directors.

A Director appointed by the Board shall only hold office

until the next annual meeting of the Company but shall

be eligible for election at that meeting.

One third of Directors shall retire from office at the

annual meeting each year. A Director must not hold

office past the third annual meeting at which they were

elected or three years, whichever is longer, but are

eligible for re-election by shareholders.

Bhupen Master will stand for re-election at the 2026

Annual Shareholders Meeting.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS BY DIRECTORS

The Code sets out the procedures to be followed where

Directors have an interest in a transaction or proposed

transaction or are faced with a potential conflict of

interest requiring the disclosure of that conflict to the

Board. Savor maintains an Interests Register in which

particulars of certain transactions and matters involving

Directors are recorded. The Interests Register for Savor

is available for inspection at its registered office.

DIRECTORS’ SHARE DEALINGS

The Company has adopted a Securities Trading policy,

which sets out the procedure to be followed by

Directors, staff and associates trading in Savor listed

securities, to ensure that trades are not made while that

person is in possession of material information which is

not generally available to the market. Details of Directors’

share dealings during the 12 months to 31 March 2026

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Financial Statements

1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION

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

subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) operate in the

hospitality sector, operating a number of premium

restaurants and bars. The address of its registered office

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

New Zealand 1010.

Savor Limited is a company domiciled in New Zealand,

registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 reporting entity.

These financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the

requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP

the Group is a for-profit entity. The consolidated

financial statements of the Group comply with New

Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS). They also comply with IFRS

®


Accounting Standards. The financial statements are

presented in New Zealand dollars and are rounded to

the nearest thousand dollars.

The financial statements have been prepared under the

historical cost basis.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has

control. The Group controls an entity when the Group

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

its involvement with the entity and has the ability

to affect those returns through its power over the

entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the

date on which control is transferred to the Group. The

financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the

consolidated financial statements from the date that

control commences until the date control ceases. From

that date they are deconsolidated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Group derives venue revenue through the sale of

food and beverages and by hosting events. This revenue

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

For significant events, the Group receives deposits in

advance to secure the booking. These deposits are

deferred on the balance sheet as a liability and are

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

of the event. The Group has determined that there is

a single performance obligation for these transactions

even though part-payment may be received in advance.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

These financial statements are prepared using the same

accounting policies as the prior year. Several other

amendments and interpretations apply for the first time

from 1 April 2025, but do not have an impact on the

consolidated financial statements of the Group.

2. KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Group has undertaken a number of key estimates and

judgements when preparing these financial statements,

the details of which are outlined in this note. These

judgements have been formed using historical information

and comparatives where available, and management's best

judgement where there is no appropriate comparison. The

Group continues to review all significant estimates along

with the assumptions used and recognises any adjustments

to these in the period in which a change occurs.

2.1. INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT

Goodwill across the Group is tested annually for

impairment. Each cash generating unit (CGU) that

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

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

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

Management has used its past experience of sales

growth, operating costs and margin, and external sources

of information where appropriate, to determine their

expectations for the future. These cash flow projections

over five years are principally based on the Group's budget,

which is risk adjusted where appropriate. Cash flows

beyond five years have been extrapolated using estimated

terminal growth rates, which do not exceed the long-term

average growth rate. The terminal growth rate used was

3% (2025: 3%) and the Group employed a pre-NZ IFRS 16,

post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 12.8% (2025:

12.5%). On a pre-tax basis, the weighted average cost

of capital was 14.6%. When NZ IFRS 16 is applied to the

impairment assessment, the utilised weighted average cost

of capital of 12.8% becomes 10.5%.

It is inherently difficult to forecast future performance

of the Group's operations in the changing economic

landscape. The Group has prepared a budget and forecasts

based on current expectations, however there remains risk

which is primarily dependent on general market conditions.

Venue performance continues to demonstrate resilience in

margins and operating earnings, which are budgeted to be

maintained or continue to improve throughout the forecast

period. Management and the board allocates head-office

costs which are believed to be directly attributable to

the running of the restaurants and bars and ought to be

included in the assessment of the CGU's carrying amount.

Head office costs which are not deemed to relate to the

respective restaurants and bars, are not allocated to CGUs

as part of impairment tests.

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

assumptions used in the impairment testing would not lead

to an impairment charge.

Notes to the Financial Statements

28

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

2.2. RECOVERABILITY OF DEFERRED TAX
ASSET

The Group recognised approximately half of the

historical tax losses available to it as a deferred tax asset

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

undertaken an assessment to ensure it remains probable

that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise

those losses, and therefore that it remains appropriate

to recognise those losses on the balance sheet. This

assessment incorporated a number of aspects, including

the current tax expense incurred in the current and

prior years, along with a Group valuation assessment

using a similar approach and assumptions as the

goodwill impairment assessment, outlined in note 2.1.

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

remaining unrecognised losses available for future use, is

outlined in note 14.

2.3. GOING CONCERN

The Group has reported a net profit after tax of $1.3m

(2025: $1.2m loss) and operating cash flows of $6.9m

(2025: $7.1m) for the year ended 31 March 2026.

The Group’s banking facilities are due for renewal by 31

March 2027, which is within 12 months of the date of

approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the

Group has recognised the outstanding borrowings as a

current liability (refer to note 10). This exacerbates the

deficit of current assets relative to current liabilities.

Savor continues to maintain a strong relationship with

its banking provider and early discussions regarding

renewal are underway. The Directors expect that the

Group will continue to receive the support it has

received to date and expects to have access to ongoing

funding for the foreseeable future, at least for a period

of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial

statements. The Group currently expects the refinancing

to be complete prior to the end of February 2027, if not

during 2026.

The Group repaid a further $0.5m of borrowings

subsequent to year end, leaving total borrowings of

$7.5m outstanding as of the date of approval of these

financial statements. The Group’s cash outflows for

the upcoming financial year are forecast to reduce

substantially relative to the prior year, with no significant

venue development planned or further debt amortisation

payments required. This reduction in outflows will result

in an increased cash build throughout the course of the

year, with cash on hand forecast to exceed $4m by 31

December 2026.

Accordingly, the Group’s net debt will fall below $3.5m

and lead to a net leverage ratio below 1 times earnings

after rental costs, providing further flexibility ahead of

any renewal.

The Group's borrowings are subject to a leverage ratio

covenant and a fixed charge cover ratio. Based on

current forecasts the Group is expected to meet the

requirements of these for at least 12 months from the

date of signing these financial statements.

In addition, the Group has also performed a range of

sensitivity analyses on the covenant measures, noting

there would need to be a significant material downturn

in forecast performance before any of the covenant

obligations would be breached. Following the debt

repayment in April 2026, the Group’s gross leverage

was 1.8 times compared to the covenant requirement

of 2.5 times. As the covenant measures use 12 month

rolling earnings, the forecast performance improve the

measures at each reporting date throughout the year

ahead.

As a result of the considerations above the Directors

have concluded that the preparation of the financial

statements on a going concern basis remains

appropriate.

2.4. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS

Restructuring and other costs occur outside the normal

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

and are unrelated to the Group's trading operations.

These have been separated out on the face of the

Statement of Comprehensive Income to allow the reader

of these financial statements to understand the day to

day operations for the year without the impact of these

items. These items typically include the impairment or

disposal of assets, variable rent costs under NZ IFRS

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

development or other costs that are unrelated to the

Group's day to day trading operations.

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

2.5. FAIR VALUE ASSESSMENT OF
SUPPLIER LOAN

During the year, the Group modified its agreements with

certain of its suppliers, in respect of its supplier loans. As

part of this renegotiation the Group received advances

in respect of new sites and agreed future expected

purchase volumes and a revised term. It was determined

that the revision of the terms constituted a substantial

modification.

The Group has estimated the fair value of the supplier

loan at the date of this substantial modification, using

an effective interest rate of 5.4% and expected forecast

purchases/volumes across the term of the agreement,

or the date in which contracted volumes are reached.

This is expected to be approximately 10 years from

reporting date. The resulting discount following the

fair value assessment was approximately $0.8m. As a

result of the de-recognition of the old supplier liability

and recognition of the new balance at fair value, the

difference of $0.1m was recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income within direct costs. The supplier

loans are disclosed within trade and other payables as

outlined in note 6.

2.6. GEOPOLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Trading after reporting date remains in line with the

Group’s expectations, with geopolitical conflicts and

resulting cost increases having a minimal impact on

either reduced revenue levels or increases to the

Group’s cost base. The Group’s forecast for the balance

of the year remain achievable and include the benefit

of a number of measures already implemented for

both revenue and cost rationalisation, as well as the

annualised revenue of new sites. The Group's $3m

overdraft facilities were undrawn at 31 March 2026 and,

notwithstanding any changes to the current trading

environment, are forecast to remain fully available

throughout the winter months. The Group has not

forecast the need for any additional capital or refinancing

to an increased level of borrowings.

3. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent

with the internal reporting provided to the chief

operating decision maker. The chief operating decision

maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and

assessing performance of the operating segments, has

been identified as the Board of Directors. Segmental

information is presented in respect of the Group’s

industry segment, Hospitality. Corporate is not an

operating segment as it does not meet the recognition

criteria under NZ IFRS 8.

4. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for

impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement

between 30-90 days from invoice date. All receivables

are due within 12 months of balance date. Other

receivables primarily relate to prepayments.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing

for expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS

9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss

provisions for all trade receivables. Collectability of

trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis and

a provision for doubtful debts is made when there is

evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the

receivable. Additionally, the Group has established an

allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) based on its

historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-

looking factors specific to the receivables and the

economic environment. Receivables are written off when

recovery is no longer anticipated. There are no overdue

receivables considered impaired that have not been

provided for.

6. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair

value and subsequently measured at amortised cost

using the effective interest method. These amounts

represent liabilities for goods and services provided to

the Group prior to the end of the financial year which

are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually

paid within 30 and 60 days of recognition. Liabilities for

wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and

annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of

the reporting date are recognised in other payables in

respect of employees' services up to the reporting date.

Supplier loans relate to inducements received for the

long term supply to Hospitality venues. These loans are

amortised over the life of the individual contract as the

benefits are consumed.

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

accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment

losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s

carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,

as appropriate, only when it is probable that future

economic benefits associated with the item will flow to

the Group and the cost of the item can be measured

reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged

to the statement of comprehensive income during

the financial year in which they are incurred. Work in

progress assets are those under construction that are

not yet in use and do not incur depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method

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

The rates are as follows:

Plant and equipment7% - 67%

Leasehold improvements6% - 20%

Fixtures & fittings7% - 67%

Motor vehicles10% - 21%

Any related gain or loss on disposal of assets is

recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

as part of restructuring and other costs.

8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured

on initial recognition at cost. Following initial

recognition, intangibles are carried at cost less

any accumulated amortisation and accumulated

impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite

useful lives are not amortised but are tested for

impairment annually, either individually or at the

cash-generating unit level. Intangible assets with a

definite life are amortised on a straight-line basis.

Software and other intangibles are amortised over

a period of 2-4 years.

Goodwill is stated at cost, less any impairment

losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units

(CGUs) and is not amortised but is tested annually

for impairment, and when an indication of impairment

exists.For the purposes of considering whether there

has been an impairment, assets are grouped at the

lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows

that are largely independent of the cash flows of other

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

assets exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment

loss arises and is recognised in earnings immediately.

Refer to note 2.1 for impairment considerations.

9. LEASES

AS LESSEE

The Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease

liabilities for property leases. On inception of a new

lease, the lease liability is measured at the present value

of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the

Group's incremental borrowing rate at that date. The

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

the lease liability, and are depreciated over the estimated

remaining lease term on a straight line basis. The Group

presents the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

separately on the Balance Sheet.

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

low-value leases; and

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

leases with a term of less than 12 months.

The Group as the lessee has various non-cancellable

leases predominantly for the lease of land and buildings.

The leases have varying terms and renewal rights. On

renewal, the terms of the lease are renegotiated.

assets. The borrowings are subject to a leverage ratio

and a fixed charge cover ratio covenant, which the

Group was in compliance with at each testing period

throughout the year. The Group expects to continue to

meet the requirements of both covenants for at least the

next twelve months.

The Group repaid a further $0.5m subsequent to year

SHARE OPTION PLAN

In July 2015 the Board approved the Company

Employee Share Option Plan. Options allow eligible

staff to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company

at an exercise price. Options are vested in equal

tranches on the first to third anniversaries of the date of

issuance while the eligible employees remain in full time

employment with the Group. Once vested the options

can be exercised at any time up to the second April

following vesting. Employees can pay the exercise price

in shares using the 20-day Volume Weighted Average

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

The Employee Share Option Plan allows employees to

exercise all their vested options into ordinary shares for

cash or a lower number of ordinary shares for no cash.

Notes to the Financial Statements

DEFERRED TAX
Movements in deferred tax are attributable to temporary

differences between the tax bases of assets and

liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial

statements and any unused tax losses or credits.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for

temporary differences at the tax rates expected to

apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are

settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or

substantively enacted at balance date. An exception

is made for certain temporary differences arising from

the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No

deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation

to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction,

other than a business combination, that at the time of

the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or

loss or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible

temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the

extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts

will be available to utilise those temporary differences

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

assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax asset.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities of

individual entities are reported on a consolidated basis

as all subsidiaries form part of the same New Zealand

consolidated tax group.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RECOGNITION AND DERECOGNITION

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the

Group becomes a party to contractual provisions of the

instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the

contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial

asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially

all the risk and rewards are transferred. A financial liability

is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged,

cancelled or expires.

CLASSIFICATION AND INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain

a significant financing component and are measured

at the transaction price in accordance with NZ IFRS 15

(Revenue from Contracts with Customers), all financial

assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for

transaction costs (where applicable). Financial assets are

classified into the following categories:

• Amortised cost

• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

In the periods presented the Group does not have any

financial assets categorised as FVTPL or FVOCI.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if

the assets meet the following conditions (and are not

designated as FVTPL):

• they are held within a business model whose

objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its

contractual cash flows

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise

to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and

interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less any

provision for expected credit losses. Discounting is

omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The Group’s cash and trade and other receivables fall

into this category of financial instruments.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Recognition of credit losses uses the ‘expected credit

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

of information when assessing credit risk and measuring

expected credit losses, including past events, current

conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that

affect the expected collectability of future cash flows of

the instrument.

In applying this forward looking approach, a distinction is

made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated

significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or

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

• financial instruments that have deteriorated

significantly in credit quality since initial recognition

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

3’ would cover financial assets that have objective

evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12

month expected credit losses’ are recognised in Stage

1, while 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised

for Stage 2.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is

determined by probability weighted estimate of credit

losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in

accounting for trade receivables and records the loss

allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These

are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows,

considering the potential for default at any point during

the life of the financial instrument.

38

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL
LIABILITIES

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade, other

payables, and borrowings.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and,

where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless

the Group designated a financial liability at fair value

through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities

are measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method. Deferred consideration is measured at

fair value with movements recognised in profit or loss.

A) CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS &

LIABILITIES

relate to the following categories of assets and liabilities:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit & loss:

Trade and other payables 1,172 -

Total financial liabilities 13,946 15,265

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

risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate

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

management programme focuses on the unpredictability

of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential

adverse effects on the financial performance of the

Group. The Group uses different methods to measure

different types of risk to which it is exposed. These

methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of

interest rate and foreign exchange risks and aging

analysis for credit risk.

B) MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices,

such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will

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

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

management is to manage and control risk exposures

within acceptable parameters while optimising the return

on risk.

I) INTEREST RATE RISK

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

2026 arises from its borrowings. An analysis on the

sensitivity of the Group's earnings due to movements in

interest rates is shown below.

Effect on net profit/loss before tax

2026

$000’s

2025

$000’s

1% increase in interest rate(85)(95)

1% decrease in interest rate85 95

The above information is calculated by applying the

movement to the average balance of borrowings during

the year ended 31 March 2026 of $8.5m (2025: $9.5m).

II) CURRENCY RISK

The Group purchases services that are denominated

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

These purchases were immaterial during the financial

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

exchange is immaterial (2025: both immaterial).

C) CREDIT RISK

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

customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails

to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from

cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions,

as well as from the Group’s receivables due from

customers. Cash and deposit balances are held with

financial institutions rated at least an A+ Credit Rating by

Standard and Poors.

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

minimal debtors. The Group has adopted the simplified

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

Financial Instruments which apply to trade receivables

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

as trade receivables are predominantly less than 30

days.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting

date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as

summarised in Note 4.

39

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

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

damage to the Group’s reputation.

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

profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SAVOR LIMITED
OPINION

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

“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the consolidated statement

of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of movements in equity and consolidated 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2026, and its consolidated financial performance and its

consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) and IFRS

®

Accounting Standards.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with

Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International

Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and

we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit

evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our firm carries out other assignments for the Group in the areas of taxation compliance. In addition to this, partners

and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the

business of the Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

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.

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT
Key Audit MatterHow The Matter Was Addressed in Our Audit

The Group holds $20.7m of goodwill at 31 March 2026.

The total goodwill balance is subject to an annual

impairment test in accordance with NZ IAS 36 -

Impairment of Assets.

Management has performed their impairment test by

considering the recoverable amount of the Group’s Cash

Generating Units (‘CGU’) (to which goodwill is allocated),

using a value in use calculation – discounted cashflow

models (‘DCF’).

This calculation is complex and subject to key inputs

and assumptions, such as revenue growth rates,

terminal growth rates, gross margins, discount rates and

future cash flows, which inherently include a degree of

estimation uncertainty and are prone to potential bias or

inconsistent application and therefore considered to be a

key audit matter.

Disclosures around impairment, including key estimates

and judgements, are included in Note 2 (i) (Intangible

Asset Impairment) and Note 8 (Intangible assets) of the

consolidated financial statements.

• We obtained an understanding of key controls

relating to the review and approval of the impairment

assessment.

• We obtained Management’s impairment assessment,

Board approved forecasts and the value in use

calculation prepared for each of the CGUs.

• We evaluated and challenged key inputs and

assumptions including revenue, EBITDA margin (which

includes direct and corporate allocated costs),

discount and terminal growth rates.

• We agreed key inputs to supporting documentation

and agreed forecasts within DCF’s to the Board’s

approved forecast.

• We assessed the accuracy of previous forecasts to

actual performance to form a view on the reliability of

Management’s forecasting ability and to understand

key differences between historical actual performance

versus forecast performance.

• We engaged our internal valuation experts to assess

the Group’s discount rate, terminal growth rate and the

appropriateness of calculation and methodology used

by Management in their value in use calculation, is in

accordance with NZ IAS 36 -

Impairment of Assets.

• We performed sensitivity analysis on key inputs and

assumptions to determine the extent to which any

changes would affect the recoverable amount of the

CGUs.

• We compared the resulting carrying value of the CGUs’

assets to the recoverable amount determined by the

impairment test to identify any impairment losses.

• We reviewed disclosures in the Notes 2 (i) and 8 to the

consolidated financial statements to the requirements

of the accounting standard.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF SUPPLIER AGREEMENTS
Key Audit Matter How The Matter Was Addressed in Our Audit

The Group has a $1.6m supplier loan liability with its suppliers

as at 31 March 2026.

The supplier loan liability is required to be recorded in

accordance with NZ IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The

liability represents cash inducements and rebates received

for the long-term supply to the Group’s hospitality venues.

Supplier loan liabilities are attached to expected purchase

volumes and reduces over time as beverage volumes are

achieved.

During the year, the Group renegotiated an existing supply

agreement with a key supplier. As part of the renegotiation:

• The Group and its supplier, consolidated and reset volume

targets and the term in respect of existing supplier loan

liabilities across its venues; and

• Received an additional advance in respect a new

Hospitality venue.

NZ IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments requires the Group to

consider whether the modification of the financial liability is

‘substantial’ or ‘non substantial’.

The determination of whether a loan modification is

substantial or not requires the Group to prepare value in

use calculations and significant judgements and estimates

around key inputs and assumptions, such as future projected

volumes and the discount rate applied to determine the fair

value of the liability.

We consider this to be a Key Audit Matter because the

determination of whether a loan modification is significant or

not requires significant judgements and estimation.

Disclosures relating to the supplier agreement modification,

is included in Note 2.5 (Fair value assessment of supplier

loan) and Note 6 (Trade and other payables) of the

consolidated financial statements.

• We obtained and reviewed the revised supply

agreement.


We obtained and reviewed management’s

assessment surrounding whether or not the loan

modification was substantial and agreed key inputs

and assumptions to supporting documentation.


We assessed the appropriateness of management’s

accounting treatment of the supplier contract

with reference to applicable financial reporting

standards.


We compared forecast volumes to historical

performance and approved budgets to assess the

reasonableness of assumptions.


We evaluated the appropriateness of key inputs

such as the discount rate with reference to market

data and the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.


We reviewed disclosures in the Notes 2.5 and 6

to the consolidated financial statements to the

requirements of the accounting standard.

OTHER MATTER

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2025 were audited by another auditor

who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 22 May 2025.

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Annual Report, but does

not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

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

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

statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the

work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required

to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Savor Group 2026 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

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 Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the

directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible 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

S TAT E M E N T S

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External Reporting

Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/.

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

WHO WE REPORT TO

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

might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To

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

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

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