On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the financial results of Delegat

Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2026. The Group delivered an Operating Net Profit

After Tax of $61.5 million, an increase of 20% on the previous year, reflecting the continued

strength of our premium brand portfolio and the execution of our strategy.

Our focus remains on premiumisation and sustainable value growth. While consumer preferences

continue to evolve, demand for trusted premium wine brands remains resilient. New Zealand's

reputation as a world-class wine origin, together with Oyster Bay's leadership position in key

markets, provides a strong platform for future growth.

The investments we have made in our brands, in-market sales capability, world-class vineyards

and state-of-the-art wineries continue to strengthen the business and position the Group well

for the future.

The Board remains confident in the Group's strategy, the quality of its assets and people, and

its ability to deliver sustainable long-term returns for shareholders.

The Board's priority is to grow

long-term Shareholder value.

We will continue to pursue

opportunities that strengthen the

Group’s position, enhance returns,

and support the sustainable

growth of the business.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

• Global Case Sales of 3,320,000, up 4%.

• Operating NPAT of $61.5 million, up 20%.

• Record Operating EBITDA of $134.5 million, up 15%.

• Reported NPAT of $39.5 million, down 19%.

• Record Cash from Operations of $110.5 million, up 5%.

The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

To provide further insight into the Group’s underlying operational performance, the Group has

also included in this report an Operating Performance Report. This Operating Performance

Report excludes the impact of fair value adjustments required under NZ IFRS for grapes,

derivative instruments and impairment of property, plant and equipment. As a fully integrated

winemaking and sales operation, Operating Profit includes the fair value adjustment in respect

of grapes when packaged wine is sold rather than on harvest of the grapes, and the fair value

adjustment on derivative instruments when these foreign exchange contracts and interest rate

swaps are realised. The impairment of property, plant and equipment of the assets of Barossa

Valley Estate is excluded as a one-off non-operating item.

The Group has included a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit which eliminates

from each line in the Statement of Financial Performance all fair value adjustments

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

The Board was pleased with the Group's improved operating performance in FY26. Global

case sales increased 4% to 3.32 million cases, driving Operating EBITDA to a record $134.5

million and Operating NPAT to $61.5 million, an increase of 20% on the previous year. The result

reflects the strength of the Delegat business model, the scalability of the Group's operations,

and the benefits of the initiatives undertaken in recent years to enhance profitability, cash

generation and balance sheet strength.

Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $364.1 million on global case sales of 3,320,000 in the

year. The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in

table 2.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

In accordance with NZ IFRS the Group is required to account for certain assets at ‘fair value’

rather than at historic cost. All movements in these fair values are reflected in and impact

the Statement of Financial Performance. The Group records adjustments in respect of three

significant items at the year-end as described below and detailed in table 3.

• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs

incurred, at harvest. Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for

the year, by creating a Harvest Provision. This provision is then released through Cost of Sales

when inventory is sold in subsequent years. This represents the reversal of prior periods’ fair

value adjustments in respect of biological produce as finished wine is sold in subsequent years.

In 2026, the market value of the Company grapes was less than the costs incurred, resulting

in a $9.0 million write-down (2025: write-up of $9.4 million). This write-down is due to the

managed reduction in yields for the 2026 harvest (down 19% year-on-year). This write-down,

less the impact of prior years’ vintages being sold has resulted in a net write-down of $15.0

million for the year (2025: write-up of $3.7 million).

• Derivative Instruments are held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate

exposure. The mark-to-market movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in

a fair value write-down of $7.2 million (2025: write-down of $6.6 million).

• Impairment of property, plant and equipment – the Group has recognised a non-cash

impairment of the assets of Barossa Valley Estate of $8.7 million (A$7.2 million). Refer to

page 10 which outlines the circumstances which have led to the impairment.

The above adjustments, net of taxation, amount to a write-down of $22.0 million for the year

(2025: write-down of $2.1 million).

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported audited financial

performance for the year ended 30 June 2026 is reconciled to Operating Profit as detailed in

table 4.

Notes:

1. Biological Produce (Grapes) is the difference between market value paid for grapes and the cost to grow grapes.


The Harvest Provision is reversed and only recognised when the finished wine is sold.

2. n/m means not meaningful.

3. Impairment of property, plant and equipment of the assets of Barossa Valley Estate.

CASH FLOW

Cash generation remained a key highlight of FY26, with the Group delivering a record $110.5

million of operating cash flow, an increase of 5% on the previous year. The result reflects the

quality of the Group's earnings and continued growth in global case sales.

The Board has maintained a strong focus on capital allocation, balance sheet strength and cash

generation over recent years. The progress achieved during FY26 further strengthened the

Group's financial position and provides greater flexibility to support future growth initiatives.

During the year, the Group invested $21.9 million in strategic capital projects, including vineyard

development in New Zealand and continued expansion of the Hawke's Bay and Marlborough

wineries. These investments are expected to support future growth and enhance the Group's

long-term production capability. The Group also returned $20.2 million to Shareholders through

dividends.

Net debt reduced by $51.8 million to $276.8 million, reflecting the strength of cash generation

and disciplined financial management. With access to a $427 million syndicated senior debt

facility and substantial headroom within banking covenants, the Group remains well positioned

to fund its ongoing operations and future capital investment opportunities.

The Board is pleased with the continued strengthening of the Group's balance sheet. Together

with the Group's cash-generating capability and available funding facilities, this provides a

solid platform to support future investment, growth and long-term shareholder value creation.

DIVIDENDS

Consistent with the Group's improved performance and strong cash-generating capability, the

Board has approved a fully imputed dividend of 22.0 cents per share, an increase of 10% on the

dividend paid for the last 5 years. The dividend reflects the Board's confidence in the Group's

financial strength and future prospects, and will be paid on 9 October 2026 to Shareholders on

record at 25 September 2026.

INVESTING FOR GROWTH

The Board remains confident in the Group's long-term growth prospects and its ability to create

sustainable value for Shareholders. Consistent with this confidence, Delegat continues to invest

in its brands, vineyards, production capability and people to support future growth.

We believe the strongest wine businesses will be those that remain focused, agile and closely

aligned to the needs of consumers and customers. Over more than seven decades, Delegat

has built a portfolio of premium brands, enduring customer relationships and world-class

winegrowing and winemaking capabilities. These foundations position the Group well for the

opportunities ahead.

Over the past five years, the Group has invested more than $240 million in strategic growth

assets to support future sales and earnings growth. The Board has approved a further $33.7

million of investment in FY27, reflecting its confidence in the Group's long-term growth strategy.

The Board also recognises the importance of maintaining high standards of environmental

stewardship, workplace safety and corporate governance. Across the Group, initiatives continue

to focus on reducing environmental impact, improving health and safety outcomes, and

ensuring Delegat operates responsibly and sustainably for the benefit of future generations.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The global wine industry is undergoing a period of adjustment as producers respond to changing

market conditions. Across many wine-producing regions, businesses are focusing on inventory

management, capital discipline and strengthening long-term returns. Despite these conditions,

premium New Zealand wine remains well regarded globally and Oyster Bay continues to hold

leading positions across its major markets.

The Board regularly reviews the carrying value of the Group's assets to ensure they remain

appropriate in light of prevailing market conditions and long-term earnings expectations.

As part of this process, the Group recognised a non-cash impairment of $8.7 million (A$7.2

million) relating to certain Barossa Valley Estate assets. The adjustment reflects a prudent

reassessment of future cash flows associated with premium Australian red wine assets.

The impairment has no impact on the Group's cash flow, liquidity, banking facilities or future

investment plans. The Board remains confident in the strength of the Group's core business,

the quality of its brands and assets, and its long-term growth prospects.

FY26 was a year of strong execution. Our focus on growing premium brand demand,

strengthening distribution and disciplined management of the business delivered significantly

improved sales, profitability, cash flow and balance sheet strength in what remains a challenging

trading environment. We also responded effectively to changes in US tariffs while continuing to

invest in our brands, consumer engagement and route to market capabilities.

The Group achieved Operating NPAT of $61.5 million, an increase of 20%, and record Operating

EBITDA of $134.5 million. Record operating cash flow of $110.5 million enabled net debt to be

reduced by $51.8 million to $276.8 million, further strengthening the Group’s financial position.

This was a Winning Together result. Every part of the Group contributed, and I am proud of the

focus, adaptability and commitment shown by our Delegat Great Wine People around the world.

GLOBAL WINE TRENDS

The global wine category continues to evolve. Consumers are drinking more selectively,

prioritising quality, authenticity and trusted brands over volume consumption.

The long-term premiumisation trend remains intact, supported by consumers seeking higher-

quality experiences and wines that enhance everyday and social occasions. Millennials now

represent an increasingly important consumer segment, while legal-age Generation Z consumers

are engaging with wine in greater numbers. These consumers value quality, experience and

connection, supporting demand for premium wine brands.

These trends favour lighter, refreshing wine styles and premium brands with strong quality

credentials. New Zealand wine is well aligned with these consumer preferences, and Oyster

Bay's trusted quality, premium positioning and broad market presence provide confidence in

its long-term growth potential.

GLOBAL SALES PERFORMANCE

Global case sales increased 4% to 3.32 million cases, with growth achieved across all three

geographic regions.

Our in-market sales teams remain a key strength of the business, providing direct customer

relationships, local market insight and the agility to respond quickly to changing market

conditions. Combined with our extensive distribution network, these capabilities continue to

support brand growth, market share performance and premium positioning.

This contributed to another year of global sales growth and leaves the Group well positioned

for F Y27.

NORTH AMERICA

North America remained the Group's largest market, accounting for 47% of global case

sales. Sales increased 3% to 1,552,000 cases, supported by a record result in Canada and the

successful completion of the planned inventory reset in the United States.

The performance reflects the strength of our market-led model and the ability of our teams to

respond effectively to evolving retail conditions and changes in US tariffs.

UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND AND EUROPE

Sales across the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe increased 2% to 1,027,000 cases,

representing 31% of Group sales.

Growth was supported by Oyster Bay's category-leading position, targeted promotional

investment and continued consumer preference for premium New Zealand wine. The region

remains an important contributor to the Group's diversified global growth strategy.

DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2026 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT
15

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CHINA AND ASIA PACIFIC

Sales across Australia, New Zealand, China and Asia Pacific increased 10% to 741,000 cases,

representing 22% of Group sales.

Our brands continue to hold category-leading positions, supported by strong consumer

awareness, trusted quality and enduring customer relationships. Combined with the strength

of Barossa Valley Estate, this provides a solid platform for future growth.

China remains one of the Group's most attractive long-term opportunities and will continue to

be an important area of investment and focus.

Across Asia Pacific, we remain focused on strengthening distribution, building customer

confidence and expanding the reach of our brands in selected markets.

BRANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS

Our focus remains on strengthening brand value, recruiting new consumers and supporting

retail distribution through targeted consumer and customer activity.

Through our unique in-market distribution model, we work closely with many of the world's

leading retailers to develop promotional programmes aligned to key consumption occasions,

supporting both rate of sale and category growth.

We continue to invest in targeted consumer and trade communications to build brand

awareness, consumer engagement and purchase intent. These programmes provide global

reach, strengthen consumer affinity and support Oyster Bay's premium positioning across our

key markets.

Oyster Bay remains the Group's primary growth engine and one of the world's leading premium

New Zealand wine brands. Its trusted quality, broad international presence and strong consumer

relevance continue to differentiate the brand in an increasingly competitive global market.

In the United States, we remain focused on our "must-win" states where consumer awareness,

affinity and retail distribution continue to strengthen. Consumer interest in Oyster Bay remains

exceptionally strong, with Oyster Bay continuing to be the most searched New Zealand wine

brand on Google.

Our strategy remains unchanged. We will continue to invest behind Oyster Bay, strengthen

consumer engagement and support conversion from awareness to purchase, building long-

term brand equity and sustainable growth.

2026 HARVEST

The 2026 harvest delivered exceptional quality fruit across Marlborough, Hawke's Bay and the

Barossa Valley.

The Group harvested 38,255 tonnes, 19% below the 2025 harvest, consistent with the inventory

management strategy communicated last year.

Inventory levels are aligned to support FY27 case sales.

SUSTAINABILITY

Delegat has been a founding member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand since 2002.

Sustainability is integral to the long-term success of our business. The quality of our wines

depends on healthy vineyards, secure water resources, capable people and operating assets

that will perform for generations. Our New Zealand vineyards and wineries are accredited

under Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, and Barossa Valley Estate is accredited under

Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.

Our sustainability framework focuses on building an enduring business, enabling our people

and communities to thrive, and crafting wine with care. During FY26, we continued targeted

initiatives across emissions, water, health and safety, biodiversity, packaging, waste and

sustainable viticulture, prioritising areas where we can achieve meaningful and measurable

outcomes.

The Group remains Toitū Carbon Reduce certified and committed to reducing carbon intensity

across its operations. Further information on our progress, targets and climate-related risks is

provided in the Group's Climate-Related Disclosures.

GROUP STRATEGY

Our strategic goal is to establish Delegat as a leading global Super Premium wine company.

Our key success factors:

Leading Brands:

At any given moment a glass of Oyster Bay is being enjoyed as an everyday reward or as part

of a premium dining experience somewhere in the world. So sought-after is Oyster Bay that

it has transcended the New Zealand wine category and is now part of aspirational culture in

many parts of the world.

Global Distribution:

We are a global business that never sleeps. With our own dedicated sales force in the UK, USA,

Canada, Australia, China and New Zealand, we directly manage thousands of retail accounts

while continuing to build and future-proof a powerful distribution network.

Super Premium Quality:

We own and manage a group of world-class wineries, widely regarded as some of the most

sophisticated Super-Premium winemaking operations in the Southern Hemisphere.

Exclusive Supply:

Meticulous management of our own extensive vineyards in Marlborough, Hawke's Bay and

Barossa Valley coupled with the contribution of our exclusive grower partners, underpins the

supply and consistency of our renowned Super-Premium quality wines.

GROUP OUTLOOK

The strength and resilience of the Group positions us well to look ahead to the next phase of

growth.

Delegat plans to grow global case sales by 5% to 3.6 million cases over the next three years. The

primary driver of planned growth is Oyster Bay sales in North America. We will also continue

exploring opportunities to improve case price realisation across all markets to improve profit

margins.

With respect to the 2027 year, Delegat plans for global sales of 3.4 million cases and forecasts

Operating Net Profit after Tax be in the range of $62 – $66 million.

35

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

REPORTING ENTITY

The financial statements presented are those of Delegat Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group). Delegat

Group Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the

Companies Act 1993. The Parent shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The financial statements comprise the statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive

income, statement of changes in equity, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, as well as the

notes to the financial statements. The financial statements for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2026 were

authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 August 2026.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The 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 entity is a for-profit entity. These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars,

rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial

instruments and biological produce which have been measured at fair value.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Group to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that

affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates

and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in

which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods

if the revision affects both current and future periods.

S TATE M E NT O F C O M PLI A N C E

The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards and other applicable

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), as applicable to the Group as a profit-oriented entity. The financial

statements comply with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at 30 June 2026 and

comparatives as at 30 June 2025.

Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or

has rights, to variable returns from its investment in the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its

power over the entity. Specifically, the Group controls an entity if, and only if, the Group has:

– Power over the entity (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

– Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and

– The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent, using


consistent accounting policies. The effects of intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated

financial statements.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be

consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is

accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting as noted on the following pages.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
36

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether

equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares

issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business

combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of the exchange, unless, in

rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable measure

of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly within equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value

less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business

combination are measured initially at their fair values as at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-

controlling interests. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share

of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the Group’s

share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the

statement of financial performance, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net

assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to

the present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being

the rate at which similar borrowings could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and

conditions.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)

The statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity

and statement of cash flows have been prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the

statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include

GST invoiced.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

a) Functional and Presentation Currency

The presentation currency of the Group is the New Zealand Dollar (NZD), which is also the functional currency of

the parent. Each subsidiary company in the Group determines its own functional currency and uses that functional

currency for its individual financial statements. Subsidiary companies with a different functional currency than that

of the Group are translated through converting all reported assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the

balance sheet, while income and expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Any

resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

b) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates

ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the

rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short-term

deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash

and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Bank overdrafts are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of

financial position.

NET DEBT

Net debt is the sum of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other accounting policies that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout

the notes to the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates the judgements, estimates and

assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an

impact upon the Group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based upon

the most current set of circumstances available to management. The actual results may differ from the judgements,

estimates and assumptions used. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in

the preparation of these financial statements are disclosed within the specific financial statement notes as shown

below:

Area of Judgement, Estimate or Assumption

Selling, marketing and promotional accruals

Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions with an

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year.

Accounting standards not yet effective

New or revised standards and interpretations that have been approved but are not yet effective have not been

adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2026.

NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, issued in May 2024, is effective for annual reporting

periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, and entities can early adopt this accounting standard. NZ IFRS 18 sets

out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements to help

ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity’s assets, liabilities, equity, income and

expenses. The Group does not currently expect NZ IFRS 18 to have a material impact on recognition or measurement,

although presentation and disclosure changes are expected. The Group intends to apply the standard when it

becomes mandatory from 1 January 2027.

There are no other new or amended standards that are issued but not yet effective, that are expected to have a

material impact on the Group.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and trade

payables and accruals. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise funding for the Group’s ongoing

operations. The Group also has financial assets such as trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents,

which arise directly from its operations.

The Group is counterparty to derivative financial instruments, principally being foreign currency forward exchange

contracts and options, and interest rate swaps. The purpose of entering into foreign currency forward exchange

contracts and options is to manage currency risk primarily arising from foreign denominated trade receivables.

Interest rate swaps are entered into with the aim of mitigating interest rate risk to movements on floating rate debt

facilities.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk

and liquidity risk. Each of the main operational risks are reviewed by the Treasury Management Committee (TMC)

and their recommendations are provided to the Board of Directors. The composition of the TMC includes the Chief

Financial Officer, Group Finance Manager, Group Financial Planning Manager and Independent Treasury Advisors.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Board approval is

required for any movement outside policy.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The net assets employed through subsidiary companies based overseas exposes the Group to foreign currency risk

as a result of changes in the GBP/NZD, AUD/NZD, USD/NZD, EUR/NZD, CAD/NZD, SGD/NZD, JPY/NZD, HKD/NZD

and CNY/NZD exchange rates. The Group also has foreign currency risk resulting from sales of product in a currency

which is other than that of the New Zealand Dollar. Profits from each export region are repatriated and reported in

New Zealand Dollars and the Group is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates.

To minimise foreign currency risk the Group enters into forward exchange contracts and options for foreign

denominated sales at levels which are considered to be highly probable. The Group attempts to maintain foreign

currency cover of between 75% to 100% of highly probable sales in one to three months, 50% to 75% for highly

probable sales in four to six months, 25% to 50% for highly probable sales in seven to 12 months, 0% to 50% for

sales between 13 to 18 months and 0% to 25% for sales thereafter. The Group has the option of increasing foreign

exchange cover to 100% for any time period upon approval by the Board of Directors.

When the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of being contractually committed to purchase capital

items from an overseas supplier and such expenditure is expected to exceed $200,000, the Group’s policy is to

ensure the foreign currency exposure is covered in full. Any capital expenditure below $200,000 is to be covered at

the discretion of the TMC, based on such factors as timing for payment and expected volatility of currency markets.

It is the Group’s policy that in no instance is trading for speculative purposes permitted.

At 30 June 2026, had the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) moved as illustrated in the following table with all other variables

held constant, post-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

The above table calculates the impact of a change in foreign exchange rates on closing equity and post-tax profits

of the Group, as a result of the Group being counterparty to transactions which are foreign currency denominated.

Foreign currency denominated balances include trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals, loans

and borrowings, cash on hand, and unsettled foreign exchange contracts that exist at balance sheet date. The net

foreign currency exposure is determined in aggregate and the impact on post-tax profits determined as a result of a

+/- 5% movement in foreign exchange rates. A +5% movement reflects the strengthening of the NZD relative to the

other currency, whereas a -5% movement reflects the weakening of the NZD relative to the other currency.

The impact upon the Group’s equity balance is derived through determining the impact on post-tax profits as noted

above.

HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the

hedging instrument is recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in

the foreign currency translation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the

statement of financial performance. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of any

such gains or losses accumulated within equity is transferred to the statement of financial performance.

The net assets employed in Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) exposes the Group to foreign currency risk as a

result of changes in the AUD/NZD exchange rate.

The foreign currency movement on translation of the net assets of BVE is included in the statement of other

comprehensive income. Since the acquisition of BVE the Group has maintained a portion of their external borrowings

in AUD to mitigate this risk. The foreign exchange movement on these external borrowings in the absence of hedge

accounting is included in the statement of financial performance.

External borrowings of A$29,350,000 (2025: A$29,350,000) have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in

BVE. Gains or losses on the retranslation of this borrowing are transferred to the statement of other comprehensive

income to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net assets of BVE. There is no hedge ineffectiveness in the

year ended 30 June 2026.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term and

short-term debt obligations with interest payable based on floating rates of interest. Interest rate risk is monitored

by the TMC on an ongoing basis. The recommendation by the TMC to enter into fixed or variable rate debt facilities

and decisions to retire existing debt instruments is made after consideration of the economic indicators impacting

upon the overnight cash rate, which influences the rates of interest charged by financial institutions. All funding

facilities recommended by the TMC must be approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group manages interest rate risk through maintaining a mix of debt instruments having variable and fixed

interest rates. The Group’s policy is to maintain a level of fixed debt facilities between 40% to 100% of core debt for

a period of one year, between 30% to 80% of projected core debt for periods of one to three years, and between


0% to 60% of projected core debt facilities for three to five years.

The Group also manages interest rate risk through being counterparty to a series of interest rate swaps. The Group

agrees to settle or has the option to exchange, at specified dates, the difference between fixed and variable rate

interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These are discussed in


Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments.

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables

held constant, on the Group’s post-tax profits and equity:

IMPACT ON 2026 REPORTED IMPACT ON 2025 REPORTED

Post-Tax Equity Post-Tax Equity

0.25% Decrease – 25 basis points


(2025: 0.25% Decrease – 25 basis points) (123) (123) (279) (279)


The key assumptions which impact upon the values presented in the above table are the following:

– Cash and cash equivalents include deposits on call which are at floating interest rates. The estimated impact

upon interest revenues from these sources is based upon amounts held on deposit remaining at consistent

levels as reported at the balance sheet date. For foreign denominated deposits, the impact on foreign exchange

is based on the conversion rate existing at balance sheet date.

– Account balances that are trade receivables or trade payables are generally on 30 to 90 day terms and are non-

interest bearing and are not subject to interest rate risk.

– The impact upon the fair value of the interest rate swaps is based upon the differential in rates between the

Group paying a fixed rate of interest and receiving the floating New Zealand Bank Bill Rate (BKBM) multiplied by

the nominal amount under the swap agreement up until maturity.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

– Interest payable on bank debt is based upon the BKBM/BBSY plus a margin. The margin is dependent upon the

Group achieving certain financial covenants and the margin ranges from 0.93% to 2.25% (2025: 0.93% to 2.25%).

The analysis assumes that the margin and principal is held constant at the same rate as at the balance sheet

date with the sensitivity calculating the effect on interest expense of movements in the BKBM/BBSY rate. The

analysis excludes any future interest that would be capitalised as part of long-term assets.

– Included in the above table is the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, which results from changes in the

floating interest rate.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss

to the Group.

To the extent the Group has a receivable from another party, there is a credit risk in the event of non-performance

by that counterparty and arises principally from receivables from customers, derivative financial instruments and

the investment of cash.

The Group trades with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who

wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on an

ongoing basis.

The Group places cash, short-term deposits, and derivative financial instruments with good credit quality

counterparties.

The Group is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk, within receivables, other assets, and

derivatives.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represent the Group’s maximum

exposure to credit risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that an unforeseen event or miscalculation in the required liquidity level may lead to the

Group being unable to meet its day to day funding obligations. To minimise liquidity risk, the Group’s policy is to

maintain committed funding facilities at a minimum of 105% of the projected peak debt level over the next 12 months

(excluding the cash requirements for any business combinations).

A General Security Agreement exists in favour of Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation,

Bank of New Zealand Limited, China Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited and Hongkong and Shanghai

Banking Corporation Limited to secure amounts loaned to the Group. The General Security Agreement covers the

existing and future assets of Delegat Group Limited, Delegat Limited, Delegat Australia Pty Limited, and Barossa

Valley Estate Pty Limited. The amount of the guarantee in respect of the banking facilities is not included in the table

on page 42 and is the lower value of the net assets of the Group and the aggregate of the loans advanced at balance

date. Loan facilities are disclosed in Note 10.

The table on page 42 presents all contractual payments which the Group is legally obliged to make and includes

all future interest payments on interest-bearing facilities. The interest cost has been estimated by maintaining the

current principal balance and interest rates that exist at balance sheet date. The table also includes the New Zealand

Dollar equivalent for the foreign currency amounts, which are to be delivered to fulfil obligations under foreign

currency contracts.

All of the above facilities have a floating rate of interest which is tied to the New Zealand BKBM for NZD facility/

Australian BBSY for AUD facility plus margin. At balance sheet date the Group has interest rate swaps that cover

$175,844,000 (2025: $157,978,000) of the principal balance drawn at balance sheet date. Refer to Note 9.

The Group maintains credit facilities at a level sufficient to fund the Group’s working capital during the period

between cash expenditure and cash inflow.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments is presented in the previous table. For financial instruments measured at

fair value, further disclosure is required that allocates the fair values into a measurement hierarchy. The following

principles have been applied in classifying these instruments:

Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);

Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised below:

The fair value of financial instruments held at balance date that are not traded on an active market include foreign

currency forward exchange contracts and options, and net settled interest rate swap contracts. The fair values are

derived through valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely

as little as possible on entity specific estimates, calculated using discounted cash flow models and observable market

rates of interest and foreign exchange. If all significant inputs come from observable market data the instrument is

included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

FINANCIAL RISK ASSOCIATED TO BEARER PLANTS

The Group is exposed to financial risks in respect of agricultural activities. The agricultural activities of the Group

consist of the management of vineyards to produce grapes for use in the production of wine.

The primary risk borne by the Group is caused by the length of time between when cash is expended on the purchase

or planting and maintenance of grape vines and on harvesting grapes and the ultimate realisation of proceeds from

the sale of finished product (wine). The Group takes reasonable measures to ensure that the current year’s harvest

is not affected by disease, drought, frost, or other factors that may have a negative effect upon yield and quality.

These measures include consultation with experts in viticulture, frost protection measures, and ensuring that each

vineyard is managed according to a specifically developed Vineyard Management Calendar.

The Group prepares a Climate-related Disclosure Statement which is released at the same time as the Annual Report.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to

maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders of the business. The ultimate aim is to

maintain a capital structure which provides flexibility to enable future growth of the Group while ensuring the lowest

cost of capital is available to the Group.

Management review the capital structure of the Group as a result of changes in market conditions which impact

upon interest and foreign exchange rates and may adjust the capital structure to take advantage of these changes.

Management has no current plans to issue further shares on the market but is intent on growing the business which

will require future funding.

The Group is subject to a series of bank covenants over its Senior Debt facilities. These are discussed in Note 10.

3. REVENUE AND SEGMENTAL REPORTING

An operating segment is a reportable segment if the segment engages in business activities in which it

may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s

Chief Operating Decision Maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which

their customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment

performance and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating

Segments this forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is in the format adopted below:

– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure

which allows the company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into

the Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary

companies based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and

Pacific Island markets.

– Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and assist in the

marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions and the

Group considers there is no significant variations in revenues throughout the year.

The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis

in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource

allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss,

which may be measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment

reporting is based upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax

balances being recognised upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also intercompany

stock margin eliminations are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Satisfaction

of a performance obligation occurs when the Group has transferred a promised good to the customer

and when the customer obtains control of that good. The following specific recognition criteria have been

applied to each individual classification of revenue:

i) Sale of Goods

The primary source of revenue earned by the Group is through providing wine to third party retailers

and distributors. Revenue is recognised when control of the wine has passed to the buyer and the costs

incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Control is considered to

have passed to the buyer at the point specified under the terms of sale agreed with the customer, which

may occur upon shipment or delivery of the goods. External sales revenue includes various payments to

customers for volume discounts, rebates and other promotional support.

ii) Interest Revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of

calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant

period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash

receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
46

REVENUE

Sales are often made with volume discounts, other rebates and various other payments to customers

for promotional support. For volume discounts and other rebates not invoiced at the reporting date

these are estimated based on agreements with customers and estimated depletions during the period.

Other payments to customers for promotional support include listing fees, mailer fees and other

incentives. For these expenses that have not been invoiced at the reporting date these are estimated

based on agreements with customers and estimated achievement of various targets by the customer.

At 30 June 2026 the Group has recognised accruals of $34.7 million (2025: $28.5 million). The majority

of these amounts will be settled within the six months following balance date.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary

shareholders of the Parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and

preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary

shareholders of the Parent adjusted for:

– costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

– the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that

have been recognised as expenses; and

– other non-discretionary changes in revenues and expenses during the period that would result from

the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The following reflects the earnings used in the calculation of the basic and fully diluted earnings per share:

8. TRADE PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and then carried at amortised cost, and due to their

short-term nature, they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided

to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes

obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

Provisions and accruals are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past

event and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions and accruals are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the

expenditure required to settle the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect

of the time value of money is material, provisions and accruals are discounted using a pre-tax rate that

reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision or

accruals resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulated sick

leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, are recognised in respect of the

employee’s services up to the reporting date. They are measured as the amounts expected to be paid

when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave

is taken and is measured at the rates paid or payable.

The Group makes regular contributions to various defined contribution pension plans. Included within

the statement of financial performance are amounts paid and payable by the Group into these pension

plans, net of any related tax rebates. The Group does not make available or make contributions to any

defined benefit superannuation plans.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to

economically hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate swaps to

manage interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on

the date on which a derivative contract is entered into, and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at

balance date. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly

to the statement of financial performance. The fair value of forward exchange contracts and options is

determined by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by reference to market inputs for similar instruments.

The Group has the following derivative financial instruments outstanding at the balance sheet date:

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments requires that derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value

through profit or loss for measurement purposes unless they are accounted for as hedges. Under NZ

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements, assets and liabilities under the fair value through profit or

loss classification would generally be classified as current in the statement of financial position if held for

trading. However, if the intent is not to actually trade the derivative financial instruments with maturities

greater than one year but to hold them until maturity, then the derivative financial instruments are

more appropriately classified as non-current. The amounts that are classified as non-current reflect the

amounts that will not be settled in the next 12 months.

The classification of forward exchange contracts and forward currency options between current and non-current

is based on whether the contracts will be settled in the next 12 months. The fair value of open contracts existing at

balance sheet date are classified as follows:

b) Interest Rate Swaps

In order to protect against risks relating to increases in interest rates, the Group has entered into interest rate swap

contracts under which the Group receives interest at variable rates and has agreed to pay interest at fixed rates for

varying terms of principal and time durations.

At balance sheet date interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total $140,000,000 (2025: $130,000,000) of

current New Zealand dollar denominated Group debt through eight separate cap rate agreements, which range in

maturity from one month to two and a half years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 4.23% plus bank margin

(2025: 3.73% plus bank margin). In addition, interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total A$29,500,000 (2025:

A$26,000,000) of current Australian Dollar denominated Group debt through six separate cap rate agreements,

which range in maturity from three months to two and a half years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 3.50%

plus bank margin (2025: 3.19% plus bank margin).

At balance sheet date the Group has one further separate cap rate agreement that covers NZ$10,000,000 which

applies at a future date to cover future Group indebtedness (2025: $45,000,000). The maturity is two years, with an

interest rate cap of 3.65% plus bank margin (2025: 3.74% plus bank margin). The Group has four additional Australian

Dollar denominated cap rate agreements in place that covers a total A$21,000,000 (2025: A$26,000,000), which

range in maturity from two to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 4.25% plus bank margin


(2025: 3.75% plus bank margin).

The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is a liability of $1,437,000 (2025: liability of $2,971,000).

The Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments and

accordingly the instruments have been classified as fair value through profit and loss.

The classification between current and non-current is based on whether the contracts or portion of contracts will be

settled within the next 12 months. The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is classified as follows:

2026 2025

10. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS

a) Debt Facilities Existing at Balance Sheet Date

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration

received, less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and

borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid

on the establishment of loan facilities are included as part of the carrying amount of the interest-bearing

loans and borrowings. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless

the Group has a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12

months after balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except when they are directly attributable to the acquisition

or construction of a qualifying asset. When this is the case, they are capitalised as part of that asset.

Once the asset is put into productive use, capitalisation of the borrowing costs ceases.

At the balance sheet date the following debt facilities have been drawn upon by the Group:

b) Terms and Conditions of Debt Facilities

i) Senior Debt Facilities

In June 2025, the Group successfully completed the renegotiation of its syndicated Senior Debt facilities agreement

with Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation, Bank of New Zealand Limited (BNZ), China

Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited (CCB) and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited

(HSBC). With the syndicated facility a General Security Agreement has been put in place in favour of the banks over

the existing and future assets of Delegat Group Limited, Delegat Limited, Delegat Australia Pty Limited and Barossa

Valley Estate Pty Limited.

At balance sheet date the Working Capital facility, Multicurrency facility A, Multicurrency facility B, AUD facility A,

AUD facility B, Term facility and Headroom facility collectively make up the syndicated Senior Debt Facilities of

Delegat, which provide funding for the assets of the Group. The maximum limit of the Working Capital facility is

NZ$48,000,000 (2025: NZ$48,000,000), the Multicurrency facility A is NZ$100,000,000 (2025: NZ$100,000,000),

the Multicurrency facility B is NZ$100,000,000 (2025: NZ$100,000,000), the AUD facility A is A$29,350,000

(2025: A$29,350,000), the AUD facility B is A$27,500,000 (2025: A$27,500,000), Term facility is NZ$90,000,000

(2025: NZ$90,000,000) and Headroom facility is NZ$20,000,000 (2025: NZ$20,000,000). At balance sheet date

NZ$139,823,000 (2025: NZ$81,399,000) is available for further drawdown on these facilities.

The amount drawn down on the AUD facility A and AUD facility B at the balance sheet date was A$55,350,000 (2025:

A$55,350,000).

Interest on these facilities is based on the BKBM/BBSY plus margin. The syndicated Senior Debt facilities agreement

requires that certain banking covenants be met and requires the Group to maintain or better specified EBITDA and

fixed charges coverage ratios, and maintain or better a minimum adjusted equity balance. The Group must also

maintain or better a specified total tangible asset backing. At year-end, and at quarterly measurement dates during

the year, the covenants of the Senior Debt Facilities have been met.

ii) Other Facilities

Delegat also has available an overdraft limit of $1,000,000 (2025: $1,000,000). Interest charged on this facility is at

the commercial lending rate (2025: commercial lending rate). At 30 June 2026 the commercial lending rate is 6.50%

(2025: commercial lending rate 7.45%). No amount is drawn against this facility at balance sheet date.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

On initial recognition, the Group’s trade receivables are recognised at their transaction price as defined

in NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group’s trade receivable balances are

generally short-term and do not contain a significant financing component. They are subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for expected future

credit losses.

The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime

expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and sundry receivables if financial assets. Expected

credit losses are measured by grouping trade receivables based on shared credit risk characteristics

and the days past due. A provision matrix is then determined based on the historical credit loss rates for

each group of customers, adjusted for any material expected changes to the future risk for that customer

group.

Individual trade receivable balances which are known to be uncollectible are written off where the Group

has no reasonable expectation of recovering the trade receivable balance.

All amounts recognised as trade receivables are unsecured and the maximum credit risk is equivalent to the carrying

values noted directly above. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally settled on 30 to 90 day terms.

Due to their short-term nature trade receivables are not discounted.

In determining the historic loss rates to be applied to these customer groups and ageing buckets the Group has

reviewed whether there were any bad debts written off over the last five years and has identified that these were $nil

(2025: $nil). Accordingly the historic loss rates applied to each customer group at 30 June 2026 are 0% (2025: 0%).

Due to the short term nature of the Group’s trade receivables, the nature of the Group’s customer base, the Group’s

experience over the past five years and other forward looking information, the historic loss rates have not been

adjusted for any material expected future changes in credit risk.

12. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated

selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated

costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of finished goods sold are assigned on a weighted average cost

basis.

GRAPES

Included within the cost of inventory is the fair value of the grapes (agricultural produce) at the time the

grapes are harvested. At the point of harvest, the harvest of grapes qualify as agricultural produce under

NZ IAS 41: Agriculture and are recorded at fair value at that date. The fair value becomes the basis of cost

when accounting for inventories.

Harvesting of the grape crop is ordinarily performed in late March or early April. Costs incurred in growing

the grapes, including any applicable harvest costs, are initially allocated into the cost of inventory as

part of the total costs to acquire and grow the agricultural produce. At the point of harvest, a fair value

adjustment is made so that the cost per tonne is adjusted to fair value in accordance with NZ IAS 41:

Agriculture and NZ IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. Any difference between cost and fair value is

included within the statement of financial performance as cost of sales.

The fair value of grapes at the point of harvest is determined by reference to the market prices for each

variety of grape grown in the local area and the market price paid to independent grape growers. Any

difference between cost and fair value is included within the statement of financial performance as cost

of sales.

$67,680,000). A fair value loss of $8,952,000 (2025: $9,355,000 gain) was recorded during the year and included

within cost of sales. Included within cost of sales is a total of $193,038,000 (2025: $196,912,000) which represents

costs expended in grape growing (inclusive of lease costs), procurement, delivery and materials.

14. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for

capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. The cost of purchased property, plant and

equipment is the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly

attributable costs that have been incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary

for their intended service.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, direct

labour on the project, lease costs and financing costs that are directly attributable to the project and an

appropriate proportion of directly attributable variable and fixed overheads. Costs cease to be capitalised

when the asset is ready for productive use. In respect of vineyard improvements, capitalisation of costs

continues until the vineyards are ready for productive use, which is when the vineyard has produced

approximately 60% of expected yield at full production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting

of vines.

Land and Land Improvement assets are measured at cost and are not subject to depreciation.

IMPAIRMENT

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is

determined, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. An impairment

charge is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable

amount. For the purposes of assessing impairment, the recoverable amount is determined at the lowest

level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land and land improvements, which has an

indefinite economic life and hence not depreciated, is charged on a straight-line basis so as to write off

the assets to their expected residual value over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives

are as follows:

B

uildings 10–50 years

Plant and Equipment 3–50 years

Vineyard Improvements 3–50 years

Bearer Plants 50 years

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms.

The condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining

useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

Depreciation on vineyard improvements commences when the vineyard is considered to be in

commercial production, which is when the vineyard has produced approximately 60% of the expected

yield at full production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting of vines. The assets’ residual

values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of

each financial year.

Capitalised assets on leased vineyards or office premises are depreciated over the shorter of the

estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining lease term.

IMPAIRMENT

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to

the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the

recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is an area where estimates

and judgements have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the

Group’s property, plant and equipment and indefinite life intangible assets.

For impairment testing purposes, the Group has identified the New Zealand operations and Barossa

Valley Estate operations as the relevant cash generating units (CGUs). In the current year the Group

considers that there are indicators of impairment in respect of the Barossa Valley Estate (BVE) CGU


due to current market conditions and have therefore determined the recoverable amount of the BVE

CGUs assets.

The recoverable amount of the BVE CGU is determined on a value-in-use basis using a discounted cash

flow model. The cash flow forecasts are primarily based on the business units’ forecast seven-year plan

prepared by management and approved by the Board. A seven-year forecast has been used given the

time required for vineyard, winery and market development to meet customer demands and the Group

has established processes to ensure forecasts are accurate for this seven-year period.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation are as follows:

– Sales growth - Projected case sales are based on the 7-year plan from FY27-FY33 supported by

management’s expectation of an improving case sales profile.

– Discount rate - The cash flow projections are discounted using a pre-tax rate of 11.3% (2025: 11.0%)

which reflects the weighted average cost of capital for the Group. This rate reflects the risk profile of

the business and the market which BVE operates.

– Terminal growth rate - The cash flow projections include a 2% terminal growth assumption (2025: 2%)

from FY33.

The discounted cash flows of the BVE CGU have determined a recoverable amount of $47.9 million

(2025: $60.4 million). This is lower than the carrying value of the BVE CGU’s assets by $8.7 million

(2025: higher by $6.8 million) resulting in an impairment being required to be recognised in the current

year. The impairment reflects a more conservative assessment of future cash flows in light of current

market conditions affecting premium Australian red wine, including elevated global inventory levels and

increasing competition across key export markets.

The BVE CGU is sensitive to changes in forecast sales growth, the discount rate and terminal growth

rate. A reduction in forecast case sales by 5%, an increase in the discount rate by 0.5%, or a reduction

in the terminal growth rate by 0.5%, would reduce the recoverable amount by $3.2 million, $4.4 million,

and $3.3 million respectively (2025: $3.6 million, $5.5 million, $4.1 million respectively). This sensitivity

analysis for each assumption assumes all other assumptions in the model are held constant.

b) Other Items (continued)

The net book value of vines on leased land where the Group does not have the beneficial ownership in the vine asset,

is not reported above, as the risks and rewards incidental to owning the vines do not transfer to the Group. The

Group is however party to leases of land on which vine stock is owned by the Group, refer Note 16. The net book value

of these assets are reported, as the risk and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the Group.

15. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of the

intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and

accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite

lives are amortised over their useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication

that the intangible asset may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised,

but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. The

assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be

supportable; if not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Water rights currently owned by the Group have been assessed as having indefinite useful lives and are

therefore tested annually for impairment at the CGU level. The recoverable amount of the CGU’s assets

are higher than the water rights’ carrying value and therefore no impairment is required to be recognised.

Refer to note 14 for the basis and key assumptions used in the determination of the recoverable amount.

Water rights currently owned by the Group consist of water rights in both New Zealand and Australia.

Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) owns water rights consisting of shares in Barossa Infrastructure Limited

and associated infrastructure levies. These water rights grant BVE the right to a fixed number of units of water per

share and were purchased by BVE to support their vineyard activities. BVE continues to have the right to use the

water over an indefinite period and therefore the water rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life. At

balance date the carrying value of BVE’s water rights are $6,455,000 (2025: $5,717,000).

Delegat Limited (Delegat) owns water rights consisting of shares in Lower Waihopai Dam Limited. These water

rights grant Delegat the right to a fixed number of units of water per share and were purchased by Delegat to support

their vineyard activities. Delegat continues to have the right to use the water over an indefinite period and therefore

the water rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life. At balance date the carrying value of Delegat’s water

rights are $600,000 (2025: $600,000).

Costs incurred in developing systems, acquiring software and licences, are capitalised to software where the

activities create an intangible asset that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria.

Amortisation of software assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset (typically 3 to

10 years). Costs related to Software-as-a-Service arrangements are expensed unless they meet the definition of an

intangible asset.

16. LEASES

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is,

or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of

time in exchange for consideration.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for leases of

low-value assets. The Group applies the low-value assets recognition exemption for its barrel leases.

Payments on the Group’s barrel leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease terms. The

Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to

use the underlying assets.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets

are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any

remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities

recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date,

less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the

shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of right-of-

use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

LEASE LIABILITY

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present

value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments,

the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable; if the implicit interest rate is

not readily determinable the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest

and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured

if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease payments.

Right-of-use asset depreciation and lease liability interest that are directly attributable to bringing new

vineyards to working condition for their intended use are capitalised up until the time the vineyards become

commercially productive. The accumulated amount is then amortised over the remaining lease term.

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods

covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. When the Group has the

option to extend a lease, management uses its judgement to determine whether or not an option would be

reasonably certain to be exercised. Management considers all facts and circumstances, including its past

practice and any cost that will be incurred to change the asset if an option to extend is not taken, to help

determine the lease term. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a

significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not

to exercise the option to renew.

To determine the value of the lease liability, the future lease payments are discounted using the interest

rate implicit in the lease, otherwise the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Implicit interest rates

are present in most of the Group’s vineyard leases. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate that

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

economic environment with similar terms and conditions. The Group is required to revise the discount rate

used if there is a change in the lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying

asset, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those

payments, or where there is a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease.

17. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured as the amount expected

to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income.

The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively

enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided for all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax

bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Such assets

and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than

in a business combination or for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary

differences) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit, nor the

accounting profit. In addition a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises

from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible

temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it

is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and

the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of

deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no

longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part of, the deferred income

tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to

the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the

statement of financial performance.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax

assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable

entity and the same taxation authority.

On 23 February 2026, the tariffs imposed by the US Administration under the International Emergency Economic

Powers Act (IEEPA) on imports of the Group’s wine into the United States during the period April 2025 to February

2026 were declared unlawful by the United States Supreme Court. US Customs and Border Protection subsequently

established a process for importers to claim refunds of tariffs paid during this period. Refund amounts potentially

receivable by the Group via its US distributors where they were the importer of record are estimated to be US$9.1

million (NZ$16.1 million). Collection of these amounts is dependent on the relevant US distributors first receiving the

refunds from US Customs and Border Protection and then agreeing and remitting the amounts payable to the Group.

There is uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of refunds that the Group will ultimately receive. Accordingly,

no asset has been recognised in respect of these amounts at 30 June 2026.

23. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 28 August 2026, the Directors of the Parent declared a fully imputed dividend of $22,249,000 (22.0 cents per

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Delegat Group Limited

Opinion

Basis for opinion

Audit materiality

Key audit matters

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Delegat Group Limited and its

subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as

at 30 June 2026, and the Statement of financial performance, Statement of other

comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the

year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material

accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 27 to 72,

present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30

June 2026, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended

in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) as

issued by the External Reporting Board and IFRS Accounting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the

International Accounting Standards Board.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under

those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the

Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

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

basis for our opinion.

We are independent of

the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand) (‘PES 1’) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance

Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International

Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards)

(‘IESBA Code’) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We

have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with PES 1 and the IESBA

Code.

Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with or interests in the Company

or any of its subsidiaries, except that partners and employees of our firm deal with the

Company and it s subsidiaries on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of

the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial

statements of the Group that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic

decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced (the

‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess whether other matters that come to our

attention during the audit would in our judgement chang

e or influence the decisions of such a

person (the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit

work and in evaluating the results of our work.

We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be $4.75million.

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.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition – Rebates & Promotional Allowances

Accruals

Revenue is recognised net of volume discounts, other rebates

and various other payments to customers for promotional

support. Volume discounts and rebates not invoiced at

reporting date are estimated based on rates agreed with

customers and estimated depletions during the period.

As disclosed in note 3, the value of the rebates and promotional

allowance accruals as at 30 June 2026 was $34.7m (2025:

$28.5m).

The value of rebates and promotional allowances accruals as at

30 June 2026 is a key audit matter due to the high levels of

judgement involved in determining whether customers will

achieve future targets entitling them to rebates and

promotional allowance on goods sold to date.

In order to respond to the significant judgment in estimating

the rebates and promotional expenses accruals we:

• held discussions with management to understand the

process and models for estimating the rebates and

promotional allowances accruals;

• evaluated the design and tested the implementation of

relevant controls over the rebates and promotional

allowances accruals and associated revenue

recognition;

• performed a look-back analysis comparing previous

rebates and promotional allowances accruals to the

actual cost incurred; and

• obtained the Group’s calculation of the 30 June 2026

rebates and promotional allowances accruals,

evaluated the key assumptions used in the calculation,

checked the calculation for mathematical accuracy and

agreed inputs to supporting evidence on a sample basis.


Impairment of Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible

Assets

As disclosed in notes 14 and 15, the Group holds property,

plant and equipment and indefinite-life intangible assets within

the Barossa Valley Estate cash-generating unit.

In the current year the Group identified impairment indicators

for the Barossa Valley Estate cash-generating unit as a result of

current market conditions affecting premium Australian red

wine, including elevated global inventory levels and increased

competition across key export markets. This resulted in the

recognition of an impairment charge of NZ$8.7 million.

The recoverable amount was determined using a value-in-use

(“VIU”) model, which requires estimates of forecast growth,

future operating performance, the discount rate and terminal

growth rate. Changes in these assumptions could materially

affect the impairment charge recognised and the carrying value

of the related assets.

The impairment assessment of the Barossa Valley Estate cash-

generating unit is a key audit matter due to the significant

judgement involved in determining the recoverable amount and

the sensitivity of the valuation to changes in key assumptions.

In responding to this key audit matter, we:

• obtained an understanding of the Group’s value-in-use

model, including the process for preparing cash flow

forecasts and developing key assumptions.

• tested the mathematical accuracy and integrity of the

Group’s value-in-use model supporting the impairment

charge recognised in the current year;

• assessed the valuation methodology and the

reasonableness of the discount rate and terminal growth

rate applied in the model with the assistance of our

valuation specialists;

• challenged the key assumptions used in the forecast

cash flows, including revenue growth, operating

performance and the achievability of forecast

improvements, and assessed the accuracy of prior

forecasts and the impact on the reliability of forecast

cash flows;

•

assessed the allocation of the impairment charge across

the non-financial assets; and

• evaluated the adequacy of the related financial

statement disclosures, including disclosures of key

assumptions and sensitivity information.


Other information


The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other

information comprises the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the

consolidated financial statements and the audit report.

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

we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially

inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit

or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We

have nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ responsibilities for

the consolidated financial

statements

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

the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such

internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of

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

fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of

the Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as

applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting

unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no

realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the

audit of the consolidated

financial statements

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

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

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

assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and ISAs

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

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

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

these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial

statements is located on the External Reporting Board’s website at:

report-1-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Restriction on use


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

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

required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent

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

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

have formed.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Delegat Group Limited (“the Group”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance by

adopting and implementing best practice structures and policies. This Corporate Governance Statement sets

out the corporate governance policies, practices, and processes adopted and followed by the Group (including

the guiding principles, authority, responsibilities, membership and operation of the Board of Directors) as at

28 August 2026 and has been approved by the Board.

The best practice principles (and underlying recommendations) which the Group has had regard to in determining

its governance approach are the principles set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2026 (‘NZX Code’).

The Board’s view is that the Group’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes generally follow

the recommendations of the NZX Code. This Corporate Governance Statement includes disclosure of the

extent to which the Group has followed each of the recommendations in the NZX Code (or where applicable,

an explanation as to why a recommendation was not followed and any alternative practice followed in lieu of the

recommendation).

The Group is a company incorporated in New Zealand and listed on the NZX Main Board. Further information

about the Group’s corporate governance framework (including the Board and Board Committee charters, and

codes and selected policies referred to in this section) is available on the Group’s website at www.delegat.com,

under the Investor Relations section.

PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS

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

these standards being followed throughout the organisation.

CODE OF ETHICS AND RELATED POLICIES

Recommendation 1.1: The board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the

issuer’s directors and employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics).

The Group expects its Directors, senior management and employees to maintain the highest standards of

honesty, integrity and ethical conduct in day to day behaviour and decision making. The Board has adopted a

Code of Ethics which incorporates the requirements set out in Recommendation 1.1, forms part of the induction

process for all new employees and is available on the Group’s website. All Directors, senior management and

employees must provide acknowledgement that they have read and understood the content.

Delegat Group operates a phone service which can be used by Delegat Group’s personnel to report suspected

unacceptable, unethical or illegal behaviour in the workplace.

In addition, the Group has a Modern Slavery Policy, which provides for a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of

forced labour, including modern forms of slavery and any form of human trafficking within our supply chain.

FINANCIAL PRODUCTS TRADING POLICY

Recommendation 1.2: An issuer should have a financial product dealing policy which applies to employees

and directors.

The Financial Products Trading Policy sets out the Group’s requirements for all Directors and employees

in relation to trading the Group’s shares and is available on the Group’s website. This policy incorporates all

trading restraints. In general, Directors and employees are allowed to trade in the Group shares during

two ‘trading windows’. Trading windows commence on the day after the half-year and full-year results are

announced to the market and close on the respective half-year and full-year balance date, which typically

means an ‘open period’ of approximately 120 days. Trading outside these windows is generally prohibited.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
77

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

FINANCIAL PRODUCTS TRADING POLICY (CONTINUED)

Proposed transactions by Directors and employees during the trading windows require approval from the

Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee. The policy also provides that no Directors or employees can trade

shares if they are in possession of price sensitive information that is not publicly available. In addition, through

our share registry, Computershare Investor Services Limited, we actively monitor trading in Delegat Group

Limited shares by senior personnel.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE

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

perspectives.

BOARD CHARTER

Recommendation 2.1: The board of an issuer should operate under a written charter which sets out the roles

and responsibilities of the board. The board charter should clearly distinguish and disclose the respective

roles and responsibilities of the board and management.

The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter which sets out the respective roles, responsibilities, composition

and structure of the Board and senior management, and this is available on the Group’s website. The Board is

responsible for the direction and control of the Group’s activities and acknowledges the need for the highest

standard of corporate governance. The responsibility includes such areas of stewardship as the identification

and control of the Group’s business risks, the integrity of management systems and reporting to Shareholders.

The primary objective of the Board is to build long-term Shareholder value, with due regard to other stakeholder

interests. It does this by adopting the strategic plans, objectives and policies that have been set for the Group by

the Chief Executive Officer, together with senior management. Responsibility for day-to-day management of the

Group has been delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management, to deliver

effective execution of the strategic plans and manage the daily affairs of the Group. The Chief Executive Officer

reports regularly to the Board on Group performance, as well as the progress being made against the strategic

plans. Management is responsible for implementing the objectives and strategies approved by the Board, within

the ambit of risk set by the Board.

NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

Recommendations 2.2 and 2.3: Every issuer should have a procedure for the nomination and appointment

of directors to the board. An issuer should enter into written agreements with each newly appointed director

establishing the terms of their appointment.

The Board collectively considers the nominations of Directors. In doing this, the Board’s procedure involves

careful consideration of the composition of the Board in relation to the Group’s needs and operating environment

to ensure relevant skills and experience. This also applies to the consideration of additional or replacement

Directors, subject to the constitutional limitation on the number of Directors. In so doing, as noted, the priority

must be on ensuring the skills, experience and diversity on the Board, and the skills that are necessary or

desirable for the Board to fulfil its governance role and to contribute to the long-term strategic direction of the

Group. The Board may engage consultants to assist in the identification, recruitment and appointment of suitable

candidates.

The Board skills matrix (prepared under the aggregate methodology) below outlines the key skills and elements

describing these skills determined as relevant by the Board, and the number of directors who have self-assessed

their competency against these skills as high, direct or aware. “High” representing high level of competency

and experience, “Direct” representing direct and practical experience, and “Aware” representing awareness.

Compiled shows the collective assessment of the total Board against each of these skills:

NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
79

When appointing new Directors, the Board ensures that the constitutional requirements in respect of Directors

will continue to be satisfied. There must be at least three and no more than nine, at least two Directors must

be resident in New Zealand and, while the Company is listed, at least two Directors must be determined by the

Board to be independent. Each director receives a letter formalising his or her appointment. That letter outlines

the key terms and conditions of his or her appointment, including Delegat Group’s expectations of the role of

Director, and is required to be countersigned confirming agreement.

The NZX Listing Rules and the Group’s Constitution requires that all Directors stand for re-election at the Annual

Meeting of Shareholders within three years of last being elected. Directors may be appointed by the Board to

fill vacancies, but they are then subject to re-election at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition

to Directors retiring by rotation, and eligible for re-election, nominations may be made by Shareholders. All new

Directors will enter into a written agreement with the Group setting out the terms of their appointment.

DIRECTORS

Recommendation 2.4: Every issuer should disclose information about each Director in its annual report or on

its website, including a profile of experience, length of service, ownership interests, Director attendance at

Board meetings, and the Board’s assessment of the Director’s independence, including a description as to

why the Board has determined the Director to be independent if one of the factors listed in table 2.4 of the

NZX Corporate Governance Code applies to the Director, along with a description of the interest, relationship

or position that triggers the application of the relevant factor.

The Board currently comprises six Non-Executive Directors. The Board has considered which of its Directors are

deemed to be independent for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has determined that as at 28 August

2026, four Directors were independent Directors, including the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and the

Chair of the People, Culture and Safety Committee.

In judging whether a Director is independent the Board has regard to all relevant factors, including whether the

Director is a Substantial Product Holder (or is an associated person of a Substantial Product Holder) and is free

of any interest, position or personal relationship that may materially interfere with the exercise of independent

judgement. The Board also has regard to whether the Director has been employed by the company or any of its

subsidiaries in an executive capacity in the last three years, or has, within the last 12 months derived a substantial

portion of their annual revenue from the company, or within the past three years has been a material supplier

or customer of the company, or has been engaged to provide material professional or external audit services

to the company or any of its subsidiaries. The Board also takes Director tenure into account in considering

independence. The NZX recommends that issuers consider the effect of tenure after 12 years of service.

The Board of Directors has carefully considered Dr Alan Jackson’s tenure, which exceeds the recommended

twelve-year threshold set by the NZX Corporate Governance Code. Despite his 13 years of service, the Board

unanimously determined that Dr Alan Jackson continues to demonstrate a high level of independence in both

thought and action.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
80

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DIRECTORS (CONTINUED)

The key reasons for this conclusion are as follows:

1. Objective and critical thinking: Throughout his tenure, Dr Alan Jackson has consistently exhibited strong

independence of judgement. He has a track record of robustly challenging management on strategic issues,

risk oversight, and governance matters.

2. Lack of Conflicts of Interest: Dr Alan Jackson has no relationships with the Company, its executives, or major

Shareholders that could impair his independence. He has no financial or personal ties to the Company outside

of his Director’s role and is not involved in any consultancy or advisory positions that could compromise his

objectivity.

3. Institutional Knowledge and Expertise: Dr Alan Jackson’s deep knowledge of the Company’s operations

and industry context, gained through his years of service, provides valuable insights that benefit the Board

and the Company. His understanding of the business’s historical context, coupled with his ability to remain

independent of management’s influence, makes him a critical contributor to the Board’s deliberations.

4. Continuous Board Refreshment: The Board has implemented regular reviews of each Director’s performance,

including peer evaluations, to ensure that they continue to bring fresh perspectives and remain independent.

Dr Alan Jackson’s participation in these reviews, along with his willingness to engage with external consultants

on board effectiveness, supports our belief in his continued independence.

After a thorough evaluation, the Board is confident that Dr Alan Jackson continues to bring independent oversight

and challenge to the Board’s discussion, and thus should remain classified as an Independent Director.

The Board has also considered where Directors receive a substantial portion of their total income for the year

from Director fees from the Group and at this stage do not consider that this effects the classification of these

Independent Directors.

As at 28 August 2026, the Directors are:

Jakov (Jim) Delegat Non-Executive Appointed in April 2006

Rosemari (Rose) Delegat Non-Executive Appointed in April 2006

Dr Alan Jackson Independent Appointed in October 2012

Phillipa Muir Independent Appointed in August 2020

Gordon MacLeod Independent Appointed in February 2022

Doug McKay Independent Appointed in August 2024

A profile of experience for each Director is available on the Group’s website and included in the Annual Report on

pages 21 through 22.

D I V E R S I T Y

Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirement for the

Board or a relevant committee of the Board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at

a minimum, should address gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s

progress in achieving them. The issuer should disclose the policy or a summary of it.

The Group values diversity and our workforce, including potential employees, come from all walks of life. Every

individual is unique, having different skills and experiences. People come from many cultures and backgrounds,

along with a wide range of other personal attributes including gender, age, culture, disability (mental, learning,

physical), economic background, language(s) spoken, marital/partnered status, race, religious beliefs and sexual

The Board and management recognise that diversity, equity and inclusion activities can enhance organizational

culture. Enabling employees to feel they can be themselves at work, perform their best and fully participate in the

workplace with a sense of belonging.

The Group has in place a formal diversity plan focused on three areas:

• Commit – to equity at all levels of the business and commit to increasing diversity in homogenous teams and

management positions.

• Cultivate – an inclusive organisational culture where all leaders and managers feel a shared responsibility to

cultivate inclusivity.

• Measure – diversity and inclusion impact and report on progress.

During the year under review, the Group has made progress against this plan, specifically:

• The gender balance for women in management roles in the Corporate Office and Sales teams has increased

to 43% from 41% in 2025;

• Continued to deliver inclusive leadership training.

The Board has approved the 2027 work plan and are satisfied with the rate of progress to date on group wide

initiatives.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DIRECTOR TRAINING

Recommendation 2.6: Directors should undertake appropriate training to remain current on how to best

perform their duties as directors of an issuer.

The Board expects all Directors to be members of the Institute of Directors and to undertake continuous

education to remain current on how to best perform their responsibilities and keep abreast of changes and trends

in economic, political, social, financial and legal climates and governance practices. The Board also ensures that

new Directors are appropriately introduced to management and the business, that all Directors are updated

on relevant industry and Group issues and receives copies of appropriate Group documents to enable them to

perform their roles. The Board visits each of the Group’s main operational areas by rotation annually, to observe

first-hand the safety and other management practices and business responses to issues.

BOARD EVALUATION

Recommendation 2.7: The Board should have a procedure to regularly assess Director, Board and committee

performance.

The Chairman of the Board every two years leads a performance review and evaluation of the performance of

the Directors, the Board as a whole, and of the Board committees against the Board and committee charters,

including seeking Directors’ views relating to Board and committee process, efficiency and effectiveness. All

Non-Executive Directors are expected to participate in performance reviews, particularly prior to the re-election

of a Non-Executive Director to the Board. The findings of the performance review process are used to identify,

assess and enhance Directors’ competencies and to define characteristics or skills which should be sought in

future Board candidates.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Recommendations 2.8, 2.9, and 2.10: A majority of the Board should be independent Directors. An issuer

should have an independent Chair of the Board. The Chair and the Chief Executive Officer should be different

people.

The Board currently comprises six Directors, four of whom are deemed “independent” according to the NZX

Code. With respect to Director composition and given the various operating environments of the Group and

its needs, the Board considers that the profile offered by each Director, and all Directors collectively, provides

appropriate experience, skill and diversity to meet its governance responsibilities. In looking to future Board

appointments the Board is committed to achieving compliance with the Code and will, when appropriate, propose

suitable or additional nominees.

The Board Charter is explicit in that the Chair and Chief Executive Officer roles are separate.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board

responsibility.

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

Recommendation 3.1: An issuer’s audit committee should operate under a written charter. An audit committee

should only comprise Non-Executive Directors of the issuer. One member of the committee should be both

independent and have an accounting or financial background. The Chair of the audit committee should be an

independent Director and not the Chair of the Board.

The Audit and Risk Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the Group’s website.

As at 30 June 2026 the Audit and Risk Committee comprised Gordon MacLeod (Chair), Dr Alan Jackson,

Phillipa Muir and Doug McKay. Gordon MacLeod is an Independent Director with an accounting and finance

background, and is not the Chair of the Board. The Committee meets at least four times during the year, and

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE (CONTINUED)

more frequently if required. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the framework of internal control

mechanisms that ensure proper management of the Group’s affairs. These controls include the safeguarding

of assets, maintaining proper accounting records, complying with legislation, ensuring the reliability of financial

information, and assessing and reviewing business operational risks. The committee is responsible for the

identification, management and reporting of climate-related risks and opportunities. The committee advises and

assists the Board in discharging its responsibility with respect to financial reporting, tax planning, compliance

and risk management practices of the Group.

Recommendation 3.2: Employees should only attend audit committees at the invitation of the audit

committee.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings at the

invitation of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee may invite any senior management

member to present on their respective function or a particular subject matter that is relevant in the committee

considering the Group’s compliance or risk management practices. The Group’s external auditor also attends

meetings at the committee’s invitation. The Audit and Risk Committee receives feedback from the external

auditor (without management present), concerning any matters that arise in connection with the audit and

performance of management’s roles.

PEOPLE, CULTURE AND SAFETY (REMUNERATION) COMMITTEE

Recommendation 3.3: An issuer should have a remuneration committee which operates under a written

charter (unless this is carried out by the whole Board). At least a majority of the remuneration committee

should be independent Directors. Management should only attend remuneration committees at the invitation

of the remuneration committee.

The People, Culture and Safety Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the

Group’s website. As at 30 June 2026 the People, Culture and Safety Committee comprised Phillipa Muir (Chair),

Gordon MacLeod, Rose Delegat and Doug McKay. The committee meets at least three times during the year,

and more frequently if required. The People, Culture and Safety Committee assists the Board in discharging

its responsibilities with respect to the remuneration and performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other

senior management, remuneration of Directors, human resources policy and strategy, and succession planning.

The committee also monitors and reports on general trends and proposals concerning employment conditions

and remuneration. The Chief Executive Officer and Group People and Culture Manager attend People, Culture

and Safety Committee meetings at the invitation of the People, Culture and Safety Committee.

NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Recommendation 3.4: An issuer should establish a nomination committee to recommend Director

appointments to the Board (unless this is carried out by the whole Board), which should operate under a

written charter. At least a majority of the nomination committee should be independent Directors.

The Board does not operate a separate Nomination Committee as Director appointments are considered by the

Board as a whole. The Board’s procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is summarised under

Principle 2 above (under the heading “Nomination and Appointment of Directors”).

OVERVIEW OF BOARD COMMITTEES

Recommendation 3.5: An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate to have any other Board committees

as standing Board committees. All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should

identify the members of each of its committees, and periodically report member attendance.

The Board does not operate any other committees apart from the Audit and Risk Committee and the People,

OVERVIEW OF BOARD COMMITTEES (CONTINUED)

Culture and Safety Committee. The Group has considered whether any other standing Board committees

are appropriate and has determined the existing committee structure is appropriate for meeting governance

obligations. Each committee operates under a charter which is available on the Group’s website. Committee

members are appointed from members of the Board and membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Any

recommendation made by the committee is typically submitted to the Board for formal approval. The Chief

Executive Officer and relevant key executives are invited to attend committee meetings as appropriate.

TAKEOVER PROTOCOLS

Recommendation 3.6: The Board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedures to be

followed if there is a ‘control transaction’ for the issuer including the procedure for any communication between

the issuer’s Board and management and the bidder. The Board should disclose the scope of independent

advisory reports to Shareholders. These protocols should include the option of establishing an independent

control transaction committee, and the likely composition and implementation of an independent control

transaction committee.

Given the Group’s shareholding structure, with the largest Shareholder being the Delegat Share Protection Trust

(a related party), the Board considers the likelihood of an unanticipated control transaction to be low, and so the

Board, in the event of a control transaction offer, has agreed that a Control Transaction Response Committee

would be convened comprising Independent Directors. That committee would consider the Group’s actions

in relation to the control transaction offer, including seeking appropriate legal, financial, and strategic advice,

complying with takeover regulation (including the appointment of an independent advisor under the Takeovers

Code and the preparation of a Target Company Statement) and determining what additional information (if any)

would be provided by the Group to the bidder.

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE

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

corporate disclosures.

The Board is committed to timely, accurate and meaningful reporting of financial and non-financial information.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 4.1: An issuer’s Board should have a written continuous disclosure policy.

As a listed company there is an imperative for the Group to ensure the market is appropriately informed and

Delegat is committed to ensuring that all of our Shareholders have timely access to full and accurate material

information about the Group. The Group has a Continuous Disclosure Policy, and this is available on the Group’s

website. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the Group complies with its continuous disclosure obligations

by ensuring timely, accurate and complete information is provided to all Shareholders and market participants.

Directors formally consider at each Board meeting whether there is relevant material information which should

be disclosed to the market.

CHARTERS AND POLICIES

Recommendation 4.2: An issuer should make its code of ethics, board and committee charters and the policies

recommended in the NZX Code, together with other key governance documents, available on its website.

Information about the Group’s corporate governance framework (including Code of Ethics, Board and Committee

charters, and other selected key governance codes and policies) is available to view on the Group’s website.

FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING

Recommendation 4.3 and 4.4: Financial reporting should be balanced, clear and objective. An issuer should

provide non-financial disclosure at least annually, including considering environmental, social sustainability

and governance factors and practices. It should explain how operational or non-financial targets are

measured. Non-financial reporting should be informative, including forward looking assessments, and align

with key strategies and metrics monitored by the Board.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Audit and Risk Committee is accountable to the Board for the recommendations of the external auditors,

Deloitte, directing and monitoring the audit function and reviewing the adequacy and quality of the annual audit

process. This includes receiving reports on the Group’s internal information system control environment. The

committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, completeness

and timeliness of financial statements, and ensuring the financial reporting is balanced, clear and objective. It

reviews annual and half year financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the

application of accounting policies and practices, areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards,

stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of the external audit.

Management’s accountability for the Group’s financial reporting is reinforced by the written confirmation from

the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, financial records have been properly

maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true

and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group. Such representations are given based on a

sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively in all material respects in

relation to financial reporting risk.

NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Group assesses its exposure to environmental, economic and social sustainability as part of the overall

framework for managing risk (see Principle 6 – Risk Management). The Group is committed to improving

standards of environmental performance to enable a more efficient and sustainable future. Accordingly, the

Group follows long standing practices regarding management of environmental factors affecting the business,

including strategies relating to water conservation, viticulture management, sustainable winegrowing practices

and wetland preservation initiatives.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING (CONTINUED)

The Group has remained focused on the development of measurable initiatives in respect to three key areas;

inclusion, people and climate change. Each of these areas is key to supporting a value based organisation which

focuses on harnessing the passion of people who are intent on personal achievement and growth.

Sustainability in all its forms remains a priority for the Group, reflecting the strong leadership role the Group plays

in the practice of sustainable winegrowing and wine production. As a leader in the New Zealand wine industry

and as a founding member since 2002 of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ), the Group takes its

responsibilities to respect and protect the environment very seriously.

Utilising a sustainability framework that covers three main areas, building an enduring wine business (covering

climate risk and greenhouse gas emissions); helping our people and community to thrive (covering health,

safety and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion); and crafting wine with care (covering biodiversity, packaging

and waste, and sustainable growing and production), the Group has a range of initiatives helping drive positive

environmental and social outcomes across the business. For example, the Group has achieved Toitu Envirocare

carbon reduce certification. The Group continues to work on its health, safety and wellbeing performance for all

its people around the world and has specific programmes identifying opportunities for improvements in diversity

and inclusion in the Group.

The Group applies many of these same sustainable growing practices in the Barossa Valley, again as a leader of

sustainable winegrowing practices within the Australian wine industry.

The Group will issue its

Climate-related Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 June 2026 alongside the

Annual Report in September 2026. The disclosure is prepared in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Reporting Standards (CS) 1, 2 & 3, and sets out the Group’s approach to climate-related risks and

opportunities, using the key themes of governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets. The

report will be available on the Group’s website at www.delegat.com, under the Investor Relations section.

The company’s Sustainability and Climate Change Steering Group reports progress to the Board on a regular

basis against milestones established under the Group’s Sustainability Strategy, approved by the Board in

April 2022.

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION

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

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

Recommendation 5.1: An issuer should have a remuneration policy for the remuneration of Directors. An

issuer should recommend Director remuneration to Shareholders for approval in a transparent manner.

Actual Director remuneration should be clearly disclosed in the issuer’s annual report.

REMUNERATION – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Remuneration levels are set at competitive levels to attract and retain appropriately qualified Directors.

The Group’s policy is to pay its Directors in cash. The fees of the Non-Executive Directors are set within the

aggregate amount determined by Shareholders by a resolution. The criteria for reviewing Non-Executive

Director remuneration includes obtaining advice from external consultants as appropriate, information on Board

arrangements for other corporations of similar size and complexity, and the review of current and expected

workloads (including as Chair of the Board Committees). The NZX Listing Rules require that the Shareholders

approve the total aggregate amount payable to all Directors as Directors’ fees. Approval was last sought in 2022,

when the pool limit was set at $730,000 per annum. Director remuneration is included in the Annual Report on

page 94.

REMUNERATION POLICY

Recommendation 5.2: An issuer should have a remuneration policy for remuneration of Directors and officers,

which outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria.

The Group has adopted a Remuneration Policy which sets out the remuneration principles that apply to all Non-

Executive Directors and all employees including senior management, to ensure that remuneration practices

are fair and appropriate, and that there is a clear link between remuneration and performance. The Group

is committed to applying fair and equitable remuneration and reward practices in the workplace, taking into

account internal and external relativity, the commercial environment, the ability to achieve the Group’s business

objectives and the creation of shareholder value. Under the Group’s remuneration practices, job size relative to

the relevant competitive market for talent, as well as individual performance against defined key performance

objectives, are key considerations in all remuneration-based decisions.

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION

The number of employees and former employees within the Group, receiving remuneration and benefits above

$100,000, relating to the year ended 30 June 2026 is included in the Annual Report on page 97.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (MANAGING DIRECTOR) REMUNERATION

Recommendation 5.3: An issuer should disclose the remuneration arrangements in place for the Chief

Executive Officer in its annual report. This should include disclosure of the base salary, short-term incentives

and the performance criteria used to determine performance based payments.

The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (Managing Director) comprises both a fixed and variable

performance component. Fixed remuneration includes a base salary, contributions to superannuation, car, wine

outstanding performance.

4. An STI of $179,000 is payable in relation to FY26.This will be paid in August 2026.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT

The Group’s senior management is appointed by the Chief Executive Officer. Senior management’s key

performance objectives are comprised of specific Group financial objectives along with business related

individual objectives. Establishing and monitoring these key performance objectives is undertaken annually by

the Chief Executive Officer, recommending them to the People, Culture and Safety Committee, for approval. The

performance of the senior managers against these key performance objectives is evaluated annually and serves

as a key determinant of any short-term incentive scheme values and payments.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PAYMENTS

Short-term incentive payments are at risk cash payments designed to motivate and reward for short-term

(within each financial year) performance. The target value of a short-term incentive payment is set by the Chief

Executive Officer with a specified dollar potential available to each participant in the scheme. The target areas

for all employees who are entitled to participate in the discretionary short-term incentive scheme are set based

on a combination of Group financial performance and specific sales targets relative to the employee’s area of

responsibility and individual goals. The weightings applied to each of the target areas will be generally consistent

throughout the Group for roles entitled to a short-term incentive payment, but may vary depending on specific

areas of focus as determined by the Chief Executive Officer. The People, Culture and Safety Committee approves

senior management short-term incentive payments, and the Chief Executive Officer approves the short-term

incentive payments to be made to sales employees at the end of the financial year and approves the sales

employee’s targets for the following year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT

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

The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and

material risks.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Recommendation 6.1: An issuer should have a risk management framework for its business and the issuer’s

board should receive and review regular reports. An issuer should report the material risks facing the business

and how these are being managed.

Risk management is an acknowledged important factor in corporate governance. The Board is responsible for

the Group’s risk assessment, management and internal control and considers it has carried out a robust risk

assessment process. The Board has identified a number of risks in the Group’s operations that are commonly

faced by other entities in the industry in which the Group operates. The Board and management of the Group

considers they have taken all reasonable steps to manage and mitigate these risks.

In viticulture the issues of weather, disease and pest control are an ongoing management activity. Viticultural

techniques are in place and in practice which the Board and management considers effectively mitigate this risk.

Brand reputation and brand security are identified risks that are the subject of ongoing surveillance, and

techniques and practices are in place which the Board and management considers mitigate this risk effectively.

Supply chain risk is monitored, and the Group has identified a range of suppliers operating in different jurisdictions

to mitigate the risk of the loss of a single supplier.

Technology risk, particularly in relation to hacking or illegal access to systems, is managed through a dedicated

information technology department, along with external consultants which the Board and management consider

mitigate this risk effectively. The Audit and Risk Committee regularly receives technology control finding updates.

Information reporting includes updates about the status of previously raised items, fraud risk management,

cyber risks and security monitoring, access governance and vendor management reviews, along with the latest

assessment of evolving risk matters for consideration.

The Chief Executive Officer, together with senior management, meets regularly on risk assessment affecting the

business and maintain a risk matrix which is used to monitor and mitigate these risks. A risk matrix measures

the impact of the risk and likelihood of occurrence and is provided to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board

annually. The Group maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet insurable risks.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Recommendation 6.2: An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report

on its health and safety risks, performance and management.

The health, safety and wellbeing of people is of the utmost importance to Delegat. A safe and healthy workplace

is one in which people and suppliers are accountable and empowered to work together to protect and promote

the health, safety and wellbeing of all.

The Board has responsibility for ensuring the Group maintains a health and safety management system that

meets best practice standards to protect the health and safety of employees and contractors engaged by the

Group. A Workplace Health and Safety Report, which covers Group performance across a range of measures

of Health and Safety, is presented to and reviewed by the Board at each Board meeting. The Board and senior

management are appraised of all notifiable incidents and injuries and the actions taken to ensure the health and

wellbeing of injured persons. Actions taken to prevent incident reoccurrence are also advised. Each year Board

members conduct a number of visits to the Group’s vineyards and wineries to observe and review health and

safety practices.

HEALTH AND SAFETY (CONTINUED)

The Group People and Culture Manager and specialist team members in the People and Culture function assist

the Board in meeting its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, as well as other regulations

and policies.

Management operates and assesses the effectiveness of risk assessment and mitigation, safety processes and

systems, capability of staff and the general culture of the business in relation to safety.

The Group has implemented a Health and Safety Risk Matrix to identify specific hazards and risks, assess their

severity of impact and likelihood of occurrence, document mitigation strategies and determine the level of

residual risk. This matrix is reviewed at least annually by the Board and annual Health and Safety objectives and

key performance indicators are set for the business based on the significant risks identified.

The Group has introduced wellbeing initiatives to help create a healthy working environment with the goal of

promoting and maintaining physical, mental, and social wellbeing for everyone at Delegat.

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS

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

EXTERNAL AUDIT

Recommendations 7.1 and 7.2: The Board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its

external auditors. This should include procedures prescribed in the NZX Code. The external auditor should

attend the issuer’s annual Shareholders meeting to answer questions from Shareholders in relation to the

audit.

The Board has adopted a policy in relation to the provision of the non-audit services by the Group’s external

auditor to ensure the independence of the external auditor. This is based on the principle that work that may

detract from the external auditor’s independence and impartiality (or that may be perceived as doing so) should

not be carried out by the external auditors.

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Group’s external audit arrangements. These

arrangements include procedures for the matters described in Recommendation 7.1 of the NZX Code.

The Audit and Risk Committee is committed to ensuring the Group’s external auditor is able to carry out its work

independently so that financial reporting is reliable and credible. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for

the appointment of Delegat’s external auditors, its terms of engagement and the level of fees incurred (subject

to Shareholder approval). The Audit and Risk Committee monitors the nature and extent of other services

provided by the external auditor, and the ratio of audit fees to non-audit fees, to ensure that those services

are complementary to the external audit and compatible with maintaining external audit independence. Regular

rotation of the external audit firm is not mandated, however rotation of the key audit partner of Delegat is required

every five years. The Group’s external auditor is Deloitte. Total fees paid to Deloitte in its capacity as auditor are

included in the Annual Report on page 48.

The Group invites representatives of Delegat’s external auditors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders

and for the lead audit partner to be available to answer Shareholder questions about the conduct of their audit

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

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

INTERNAL AUDIT

Recommendation 7.3: Internal audit functions should be disclosed.

The Group does not have an internal audit function. Procedures have been established at a Board and executive

management levels that are designed to safeguard the assets and interests of the Group and ensure the

integrity of reporting. These include accounting, financial reporting and internal control policies and procedures.

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework but recognises that

no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. To assist in discharging this

responsibility, the Board has instigated an internal control framework as follows:

• Financial reporting – there is a comprehensive budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the Board.

Monthly actual results are reported against budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly.

The consolidated entity reports to Shareholders half-yearly. Procedures are also in place to ensure that price-

sensitive information is reported to the NZX in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations;

• Operating unit controls – financial controls and standard operating procedures, including information system

controls, are in operation throughout the consolidated entity; and

• Investment appraisal – the consolidated entity has clear guidelines for capital expenditure. These include

annual budgets, as well as detailed appraisal and review procedures.

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS

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

encourage them to engage with the issuer.

INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 8.1: An issuer should have a website where investors and interested stakeholders can

assess financial and operational information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.

The Group is committed to an open and transparent relationship with Shareholders. The Board aims to ensure that

all Shareholders are provided with all information necessary to assess the Group’s direction and performance.

This is undertaken through a range of communication methods, including periodic and continuous disclosures

COMMUNICATING WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 8.2: An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer,

including by designing its Shareholder meeting arrangements to encourage Shareholder participation and

by providing the option to receive communications from the issuer electronically.

Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email or through

the Group’s website. Shareholders are actively encouraged to take up this option. The Board has always been

committed to having an open dialogue with Shareholders and welcomes investor enquiries.

Delegat’s annual meetings provide an opportunity for Shareholders to raise questions for their Board and to

make comments about the Company’s operations and performance.

SHAREHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS

Recommendations 8.3 and 8.4: Quoted equity security holders should have the right to vote on major

decisions which may change the nature of the issuer in which they are invested. If seeking additional equity

capital, issuers of quoted equity securities should offer further equity security holders of the same class on a

pro rata basis, and on no less favourable terms, before further equity securities are offered to other investors.

In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, the Group’s Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, the Group

refers any significant matters to Shareholders for approval at a Shareholders’ Meeting. All Shareholders are

entitled to attend the Group’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, either in person or by representative. Resolutions

at Shareholders’ meetings are by way of poll, where each Shareholder is entitled to one vote per share.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING

Recommendation 8.5: The Board should ensure that the notices of annual or special meetings of quoted

equity security holders is posted on the issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 20 working days

prior to the meeting.

The Group posts any Notices of Shareholders’ Meetings on its website as soon as these are available. The general

practice is to make these available not less than four weeks prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
