Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

Directors' report

Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as “Bapcor” or the “Group”) consisting of Bapcor Limited (the “Company”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the financial year ending 30 June 2016 (“FY2016”). The Company changed its name on 4 July 2016 from Burson Group Limited to Bapcor Limited.

1. DIRECTORS

The following persons were Directors of the Company at any time during FY2016, or since the end of FY2016 up to the date of this report:

Current Directors

Robert McEniry Independent Non-Executive Chairman Darryl Abotomey Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director Andrew Harrison Independent, Non-Executive Director Therese Ryan Independent, Non-Executive Director Margaret Haseltine Independent, Non-Executive Director (appointed 30 May 2016)

2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the year the principal activities of Bapcor were the sale and distribution of motor vehicle aftermarket parts and accessories, automotive equipment and services, and motor vehicle servicing.

Bapcor is the largest automotive aftermarket parts, accessories and services supplier in Australia with a network covering approximately 750 sites.

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

On 31 July 2015 Bapcor completed its acquisition of the entire issued capital of Aftermarket Network Australia Pty Ltd (formerly Metcash Automotive Holdings Pty Ltd) (“ANA”). ANA is a wholesaler, distributor and retailer of automotive aftermarket parts and operates a network of service workshops. ANA’s retail network has historically been predominantly a franchise operation and includes the brands Autobarn, Autopro, Opposite Lock and Carparts, and the franchise service centres of Midas and ABS. The wholesale business known as AAD comprises the brands of ATAP, IBS, Partco and Garrmax.

To assist in funding the ANA acquisition, in June 2015 the Company conducted a pro-rata renounceable rights issue (Entitlements Offer) to raise approximately $218.0M, of which $159.8M was raised through the institutional component of the Entitlements Offer in late FY2015, and $57.7M was raised through the retail component of the Entitlements Offer during FY2016 in July 2015. In addition, in July 2015, the Company issued shares to entities associated with certain vendors of ANA as part consideration for its acquisition of ANA, and increased its debt facilities to $200.0M. For further details refer to section 5.5.1 of this report.

During the financial year, Bapcor also completed a number of other acquisitions including Bearing Wholesalers, Precision Equipment and Sprint Auto Parts which have increased the range of product and services Bapcor can now offer and strongly complements the existing businesses.

To recognise the evolution of the Company and to avoid confusion between different segments of the business, Burson Group Limited changed its name to Bapcor Limited on 4 July 2016. The change of company name only impacted the parent company with the customer facing trading names remain unchanged.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

Given the growth of the organisation, the operating segments have been redefined and as a result the previously reported ANA business segment has been replaced with the segments as outlined below. Refer to section 5 for details of the operational performance of each segment.

4. DIVIDENDS

Fully franked dividends were paid to shareholders of Bapcor during the year as follows; 30 September 2015 $11,497,000 (4.7 cents per share) 8 April 2016 $12,231,000 (5.0 cents per share)

The Board has declared a final dividend in respect of FY2016 of 6.0 cents per share, fully franked. The final dividend will be paid on 30 September 2016 to shareholders registered on Bapcor’s share register on 31 August 2016.

The final dividend takes the total dividends declared in relation to FY2016 to 11.0 cents per share (fully franked), representing an increase of dividends paid of 26.4% compared to FY2015. Dividends paid and declared in relation to FY2016 represents 62.0% of net profit after tax.

5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The key highlights of Bapcor’s financial results for FY2016 were:

• Revenue increased by 82.7% compared to FY2015, from $375.3M to $685.6M,

• NPAT increased by 123.4% compared to FY2015, from $19.5M to $43.6M,

• Pro-forma NPAT increased by 88.9% compared to FY2015, from $23.1M to $43.6M

• EPS increased by 31.0% compared to FY2015 to 17.85 cents per share

• Net debt of $126.4M represented a leverage ratio of 1.6X (Net Debt : FY2016 EBITDA) and less than 1.5X on an annualised EBITDA basis (allowing for a full twelve months of trading for acquisitions during FY2016).

The table below reconciles the pro-forma result to the statutory result for FY2016 and FY2015.

		Consolidated	Consolidated
		2016	2015
	Notes	$’M	$’M
Statutory Net Profit after Tax		43.6	19.5
Costs associated with the acquisition of ANA	1	-	4.2
Taxeffect	2	-	(0.6)
Pro-forma Net Profit after Tax		43.6	23.1

Notes on pro-forma adjustments:

1. Acquisition costs FY2015 – relates to the ANA acquisition. These costs related to professional advisory fees and other costs.

2. Tax effect FY2015 – The effective income tax rate applicable to Bapcor is approximately 30%, which is equivalent to the Australian corporate tax rate of 30%. This tax rate as adjusted for permanent differences.

Note: The Directors’ Report includes references to pro-forma results to exclude the impact of the acquisition costs in the prior financial year as detailed above. The Directors believe the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures are useful for the users of this financial report as they provide additional and relevant information that reflect the underlying financial performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures contained within this report are not subject to audit or review.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

Revenue and EBITDA by segment is as follows:

	Revenue	EBITDA
	2016 $’M 2015 $’M Change %	2016 $’M 2015 $’M Change %
Trade Retail Specialist Wholesale Unallocated / Head Office	419.1 375.3 11.7% 191.1 103.4 (28.0)	51.8 44.3 17.0% 22.2 10.1 (6.0) (2.8) (114.1%)
Total	685.6 375.3 82.7%	78.1 41.5 88.5%

The largest contributor to Bapcor’s increase in revenue and profit was the acquisition of ANA which completed on 31 July 2015. In addition the results reflect the acquisitions of Bearing Wholesalers and Precision Automotive Equipment which completed at the end of March 2016 and Sprint Auto Parts which completed at the end of April 2016. Trade also performed solidly contributing an increase in revenue of 11.7% and an increase in EBITDA of 17.0%.

The integration of the ANA business has progressed smoothly. Bapcor has been working towards optimising the benefits of combining the Trade and ANA businesses in areas such as direct and indirect procurement and intercompany sourcing, and a project is underway to review the warehousing and logistics functions across the Group. In addition ANA successfully consolidated its IT platform across its business units during FY2016.

Further details of the operating and financial performance of each business segment follows below. Any prior period references for the Retail and Specialist Wholesale segments have been sourced from management reports prior to Bapcor’s ownership and have been included for comparative purposes only.

5.1. Operating and financial review –Trade

The Trade segment consists of the Burson Auto Parts and Precision Automotive Equipment business units. This segment is a distributor of:

• Automotive aftermarket parts and consumables to trade workshops for the service and repair of vehicles

• Automotive workshop equipment such as vehicle hoists and scanning equipment, including servicing of the equipment

• Automotive accessories and maintenance products to do-it-yourself vehicle owners.

Trade increased its revenue by 11.7% in FY2016 with same store growth contributing 4.6% (compared to 4.6% in FY2015). During FY2016, Burson Auto Parts continued to expand its store network with the number of stores increasing from 130 at 30 June 2015 to 145 at 30 June 2016. Of the increase in 15 stores, 5 were individual store acquisitions and 10 were greenfield store developments including a conversion of a company owned AutoPro store. The average cost per new store including inventory was $580,000. The new stores are located as follows:

• Acquisitions – Gympie and Beaudesert in Queensland, Albion Park Rail and Cessnock in New South Wales, and Geelong North in Victoria.

• Greenfields – Atherton in Queensland, Belmore and Maitland in New South Wales, Fyshwick in Australian Capital Territory, Cranbourne, Sale and Epping in Victoria, and Bibra Lake, Myaree and Rockingham in Western Australia.

With the establishment of the store in the Australian Capital Territory, Burson Auto Parts now operates in all states and territories of Australia.

In addition to the new stores, in April 2016 Precision Automotive Equipment was acquired and became part of the Trade segment. Precision Automotive Equipment is one of Australia’s largest businesses that imports, distributes and services automotive workshop equipment, including hoists, tyre changes, wheel balancers and wheel aligners.

Gross margin percentage increased by 1.4 percentage points in FY2016 compared to FY2015 due to a continued focus on profitable sales throughout the business as well as a price increase in January 2016. A high proportion of greenfield start up stores and the start-up of the Brisbane DC resulted in an increase in CODB by 0.8%. EBITDA as a percentage of sales increased by 0.6%.

The 8,000 square meter distribution centre in Brisbane commissioned in June 2015 has performed well and now services over 40 stores located in Queensland and northern NSW.

6

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

At the end of June 2016 there were 6 stores open in Western Australia compared to 3 at the end of FY2015. Whilst the Western Australian market continues to be very price competitive, Bapcor remains committed to its longer term strategy to grow the store network in this region, opening its seventh store in July 2016.

5.2. Operating and financial review – Retail

The Retail segment consists of business units that are retail customer focused, and include Autobarn, Autopro, Sprint Auto Parts and Car Parts retail store brands, and the Midas and ABS workshop service brands.

The Retail segment performed well during the year recording EBITDA of $22.2M at 11.6% of sales. Autobarn recorded same store sales growth of 5.2% (compared to 2.6% in FY2015). The number of company owned and franchise stores in the retail segment increased by 48 stores during FY2016. This consisted of Autobarn +3, independent businesses of Autopro, Car Parts and Sprint Auto Parts +43 and the service workshops of Midas and ABS +2.

The Bapcor strategy is to grow the Autobarn store network to a target of 200 stores nationally, predominantly through adding company owned stores. As at June 2016 there were 15 company owned Autobarn stores compared to 10 at June 2015.

Bapcor is undertaking a strategic review of the Service business to ascertain the long term strategy for the business.

5.3. Operating and financial review – Specialist Wholesale

The Specialist Wholesale segment consists of the operations that specialise in automotive aftermarket wholesale and includes the AAD business as well as Bearing Wholesalers and Opposite Lock.

AAD consists of the historical ATAP, IBS, Partco and Garmax brands. As expected, AAD sales in FY2016 were relatively flat compared to FY2015 as this business experienced some sales loss with the change in ownership to Bapcor. Progress has been made with AAD supplying additional volume and product groups to other group businesses and this will continue in FY2017 with vertical integration being a key business strategy.

AAD gross margin percentage was below FY2015 as the lower Australian dollar resulted in higher costs of goods which were unable to be fully passed through to the market. Strong cost control offset some of the gross margin erosion.

Bearing Wholesalers was acquired by Bapcor at the end of March 2016. Bearing Wholesalers is the largest bearings reseller in Australia, specialising in bearing kits, gearbox kits, differential kits and timing belt kits, and currently has 8 branches across Australia. Bearing Wholesalers performed strongly in the three months of operations as part of the Group.

Opposite Lock is an Australia wide 4WD specialty equipment and accessories business that has 66 predominantly franchise stores (including 12 store within a store) and a further 17 stockists. Opposite Lock also supplies wholesale equipment and accessories to dealerships and to overseas markets. This business was acquired by ANA in July 2016 and the business has since undertaken some operational changes, notably the warehousing functions have been integrated into existing ANA warehouses.

5.4. Operating and financial review – Unallocated / Head Office

The Unallocated/Head Office segment consists of all elimination and head office costs or adjustments that are not in the control of the other segments. Unallocated costs increased during FY2016 from $2.8M in FY2015 to $6.0M in FY2016 due largely to $1.3M of intercompany profit in stock eliminations and an increase in share based payments expense of $0.8M. Additional resources were also employed in head office due to the significant increase in size of the business.

5.5. Financial Position

5.5.1. Capital Raising and Debt

In July 2015, Bapcor raised $57.7M from the retail component of the Entitlements Offer to fund its acquisition of ANA (in addition to the $159.8M raised through the institutional component of the Entitlements Offer in late FY2015), and issued shares to entities associated with certain vendors of ANA as those vendors elected to rollover a portion of their ANA shares into Bapcor shares as consideration.

7

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

As a result of the issues of shares described above, ordinary shares on issue increased from 219,663,293 as at 30 June 2015 to 244,622,784. The number of ordinary shares on issue in Bapcor further increased in March 2016 to 245,857,351 due to the issue of shares by Bapcor to the vendors of Bearing Wholesalers as part consideration for that acquisition.

Bapcor’s external debt facility was renegotiated effective 31 July 2015 for 3 years. The renegotiated debt facility is $200.0M in aggregate and comprises a $171.0M revolving facility for working capital and general corporate purposes (including funding of acquisitions), and a $29.0M facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, the issuance of letters of credit/bank guarantees, and the provision of transactional and foreign exchange facilities. Subsequent to the FY2016 year end, the external debt facility was renegotiated to increase the facility by a further $50.0M to $250.0M, with the increase available for general corporate purposes, capital expenditure and acquisitions.

As at the end of June 2016, Bapcor’s leverage ratio was 1.6X (Net Debt : FY2016 EBITDA). After annualising ANA’s result from 11 to 12 months, as well as annualising the recent acquisitions of Bearing Wholesales and Precision Automotive Equipment, the leverage ratio at year end is less than 1.5X.

6. STRATEGY

Bapcor’s strategy is to be Australasia’s leading provider of aftermarket parts, accessories and services. With the acquisition of ANA, Bapcor’s strategy is as follows:

Trade

Trade consists of the Burson Auto Parts and Precision Automotive Equipment business units and are trade focussed “parts professionals” businesses supplying service workshops. The target is to grow Burson Auto Parts store numbers from 145 at the end of June 2016 to 200 stores by 2021 with 25% home brand product content.

Retail

Autobarn – The premium retailer of automotive accessories, Autobarn had 99 franchise stores and 15 company owned stores at the end of June 2016 with a target to grow to 200 stores by 2023, with a majority of growth being company owned stores, and 35% home brand product content.

Independents – The independents group consists of the franchise stores of AutoPro, Car Parts and Sprint Auto Parts. The strategy is to supply the independent parts stores via Bapcor’s extensive supply chain capabilities and brand support. There were 235 independent stores at the end of June 2016. The target is to maintain the number of independent stores at over 200 and convert these stores to Burson Auto Parts or Autobarn stores when commercially sensible opportunities arise.

Service – The service business consists of the brands Midas and ABS and aims to be experts at scheduled car servicing at affordable prices. There were 142 stores at the end of June 2016. Bapcor is currently conducting a strategic review of the Service business to determine the long term strategy of the business.

Specialist Wholesale

The Specialist Wholesale business strategy aims to be the number one or number two industry category specialists in the parts programs in which it operates. The parts programs in which the specialist wholesale segment has historically operated are brake, suspension, 4WD, cooling, engine and gaskets. The recent acquisition of Bearing Wholesalers expanded this specialist wholesale product range into bearings, and the acquisition of Baxters expanded specialist wholesale into auto electrical. The Roadsafe acquisition further strengthened the 4WD and suspension product categories. The strategy for Specialist Wholesale is to continue to strengthen its current category depth and expand into other specialist wholesale categories. The target is to grow revenue to over $200M by 2021.

Other

A number of acquisition opportunities are presented to Bapcor from time to time to expand its business that would accelerate the segment strategies outlined above. These opportunities will be considered on their merits and pursued if the Board believes they will enhance shareholder value.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

7. INDUSTRY TRENDS

The automotive aftermarket parts market in Australia continues to experience growth based on:

(i) population growth,

(ii) increasing number of vehicles per person, (iii) change in the age mix of vehicles (i.e. more vehicles in the four years or older range), (iv) an increase in the value of parts sold.

Demand for automotive parts, accessories and services are resilient as vehicle maintenance is critical to operating a vehicle. Vehicle servicing is driven by the number of kilometres travelled, with the number of kilometres travelled by passenger and light commercial vehicles not significantly impacted by economic conditions. Volatility in new vehicle sales does not directly impact demand as parts distributed by Bapcor are predominantly used to service vehicles that are aged four years or older.

Ford, Holden and Toyota have announced they will be ceasing manufacturing operations in Australia (Ford in October 2016 and Holden and Toyota during 2017). Bapcor does not expect demand for parts to be affected by the decline in the Australian vehicle manufacturing industry, as Bapcor distributes parts for a wide range of vehicle makes and models irrespective of where the vehicle is manufactured, and demand for Bapcor’s services is driven by the total number of registered vehicles on the road in Australia and not the location of vehicle manufacture.

8. MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

There are a number of factors that could have an effect on the financial prospects of Bapcor. These include;

Competition risk - The Australian automotive aftermarket parts and accessories distribution industry is competitive and Bapcor may face increased competition from existing competitors (including through downward price pressure), new competitors that enter the industry, vehicle manufacturers, and new technologies or technical advances in vehicles or their parts. Increased competition could have an adverse effect on the financial performance, industry position and future prospects of Bapcor.

Increased bargaining power of customers - A significant majority of Bapcor’s sales are derived from repeat orders from customers. Bapcor may experience increased bargaining power from customers due to consolidation of existing workshops forming larger chains, greater participation of existing workshops in purchasing and buying groups, and closure of independent workshops resulting in greater market share of larger chains. An increase in bargaining power of customers may result in a decrease in prices or loss of customer accounts, which may in turn adversely affect Bapcor’s sales and profitability.

Supplier pressure or relationship damage - Bapcor’s business model depends on having access to a wide range of automotive parts, in particular parts with established brands that drive customer orders. An increase in pricing pressure from suppliers or a damaged relationship with a supplier may increase the prices at which Bapcor procures parts or limit Bapcor’s ability to procure parts from that supplier. If prices of parts increase, Bapcor will be required to pass on or absorb the price increases, which may result in a decreased demand for Bapcor’s products or a decrease in profitability. If Bapcor is no longer able to order parts from a key supplier, Bapcor may lose customer orders and accounts, resulting in lower sales. Any decline in demand, sales or profitability may have an adverse effect on Bapcor’s business and financial performance.

Exchange rate risk – A large proportion of Bapcor’s parts are sourced from overseas, either indirectly through local suppliers or directly by Bapcor. This exposes Bapcor to potential changes in the purchase price of products due to exchange rate movements. Historically Bapcor has been able to pass on the majority of the impact of foreign exchange movements through to the market. If the situation arises where Bapcor is not able to recoup foreign exchange driven cost increases, this may lead to a decrease in profitability.

Managing growth and integration risk – The integration of acquired businesses and the continued strategy of growing the store network will require Bapcor to integrate these businesses and where appropriate upscale its operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand and retain, manage and train its employees. There is a risk of a material adverse impact on Bapcor if it is not able to manage its expansion and growth efficiently and effectively, or if the performance of new stores or acquisitions does not meet expectations.

Expansion - A key part of Bapcor’s growth strategy is to increase the size of its store network, which it intends to achieve through store acquisitions and greenfield developments. If suitable acquisition targets are not able to be identified; acquisitions are not able to be made on acceptable terms; or suitable greenfield sites are not available, this may limit Bapcor’s ability to execute its growth strategy within its expected timeframe. Further, new stores may not prove to be as successful as Bapcor anticipates including due to issues arising from integrating new businesses. This could negatively impact Bapcor’s financial performance and its capacity to pursue further acquisitions.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

9. OUTLOOK

Bapcor expects to continue to see strong profit growth in FY2017 due to a number of factors as follows:

• A full 12 months of results will be included for the ANA acquisition (11 months in FY2016) as well as other acquisitions made during FY2016

• The inclusion of the recent acquisitions of Baxters and Roadsafe

• Forecast optimisation savings of between $5.0M and $7.0M as a result of the ANA acquisition.

• Continued store network growth and solid performance in the underlying businesses.

Since June 2016 Burson Auto Parts has opened a further 5 stores, taking the total number of stores in the Burson Auto Parts store network to 150, and is targeting to reach at least 156 stores by the end of FY2017. Trading trends in July and month to date August have been strong.

In Retail Autobarn has opened a further 4 stores since June 2016 and is targeting to increase the number of company owned stores by 10 in FY2017. Other store growth targets in FY2017 include Autopro +5 stores, Midas +5 stores and Opposite Lock +10 stores (including store within a store).

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The Directors present the Remuneration Report, which outlines remuneration information for Bapcor’s NonExecutive Directors, Executive Directors and key management personnel in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

• Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration,

• Details of remuneration,

• Service agreements,

• Share-based compensation.

The information provided in this Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

13.1. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

13.1.1. Non-Executive Directors remuneration

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.

Under the Company’s Constitution, and as required by the listing rules of the ASX, the total amount paid to all Non-Executive Directors for their services must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount agreed by the shareholders at the annual general meeting. This amount has been fixed at $700,000 with effect from 21 March 2014.

Annual Non-Executive Directors’ fees currently agreed to be paid by the Company are;

• To the Chair, Robert McEniry, $170,000 plus superannuation at the superannuation guarantee rate. The fee includes membership of the Committees;

• The other Non-Executive Directors, $85,000 plus superannuation at the superannuation guarantee rate. In addition, the Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, and the Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee will each be paid an additional $9,100 plus superannuation at the superannuation guarantee rate. Committee members other than the Chair and the Chair of the Committees will be paid an annual fee of $3,700 plus superannuation at the superannuation guarantee rate.

Directors may also be reimbursed for expenses properly incurred by the Directors in connection with the affairs of Bapcor including travel and other expenses in attending to the Company’s affairs.

13.1.2. Executive remuneration

Bapcor aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, which is both fixed and variable. The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

• base pay and non-monetary benefits;

• short-term performance incentives;

• share-based performance incentives; and

• other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.

From time to time the Nomination and Remuneration committee may consider “one-off” payments to executives, as part of their remuneration, in relation to specific events.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of Bapcor and comparable market remunerations.

13.1.3. Short term incentive plan

The Chief Executive Officer and other Senior Management of Bapcor are eligible to participate in Bapcor’s short term incentive plan (STI Plan).

Participants in the STI Plan have a target cash payment which is set as a percentage of their total fixed annual remuneration. Actual short term incentive payments in any given year may be below, at or above that target depending on the achievement of financial and non-financial criteria as set by the Board, in accordance with the terms of the STI Plan, which may be varied from time to time by the Board. No incentive payment is payable if the threshold performance target is not met.

13

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

At least 70% and up to 100% of the annual incentive payment will be assessed by financial measures and quantitative key performance indicators. The financial measures and indicators used under the STI Plan may reference Bapcor’s revenue, EBITDA and NPAT performance, or a combination of these measures, as agreed by the Board. Up to 30% of the annual incentive payment will be assessed having regard to non-financial measures, being key performance indicators determined annually by the Board.

These measures are tested annually after the end of the relevant financial year.

Where available, payments under the STI Plan will be made immediately after the release of full year financial results to the ASX except in relation to any portion of an award above the target up to the maximum award, which will be deferred for a period of 12 months. Awards will also be subject to claw back for any material financial misstatements in relation to Bapcor’s performance for the relevant period which are subsequently revealed.

13.1.4. Long term incentive plan

The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is intended to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of certain senior executives. The LTIP is designed to align the interests of senior executives more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior executives to receive an equity interest in Bapcor through the granting of performance rights (Performance Rights). The vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

The key terms of the LTIP are as follows:

Administration	The LTIP is administered by the Board.
Eligibility	Participation in the LTIP is by invitation to certain employees of Bapcor deemed
	eligible by the Board.
Award	A Performance Right will vest on satisfaction of the applicable performance,
	service or other vesting conditions specified at the time of the grant. The Board
	has the discretion to set the terms and conditions on which it will offer
	Performance Rights under the LTIP, including the vesting conditions.
Performance Rights	Upon satisfaction of any vesting conditions, each Performance Right will
	automatically convert into one Share. Performance Rights do not carry any
	voting rights or dividend entitlements.
Performance period	Performance will be assessed over a performance period specified at the time
	of the grant.
Shares	Shares allocated on conversion of Performance Rights rank equally with the
	other issued Shares and carry the same rights and entitlements, including
	dividend and voting rights. Shares may be issued by Bapcor or acquired on or
	off market by a nominee or trustee on behalf of Bapcor, then transferred to the
	Participant.
New issues	Performance Rights do not confer on a Participant the right to participate in
	new issues of Shares or other securities in Bapcor, including by way of bonus
	issues, rights issues or otherwise.
Limitations	The number of Shares to be received by a Participant on the conversion of the
	Performance Rights must not exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares.
Trustee	Bapcor may appoint a trustee for the purpose of administering the LTIP,
	including to acquire and hold Shares, or other securities of the Company, on
	behalf of Participants or otherwise for the purposes of the LTIP.
Quotation	Performance Rights will not be quoted on the ASX. Bapcor will apply for official
	quotation of any Shares issued under the LTIP, in accordance with the ASX
	Listing Rules and having regard to any disposal restrictions in place under the
	LTIP.
Amendments	To the extent permitted by the ASX Listing Rules, the Board retains the
	discretion to vary the terms and conditions of the LTIP. This includes varying
	the number of Performance Rights or the number of Shares to which a
	Participant is entitled upon a reorganisation of the capital of Bapcor.
Other terms	The LTIP contains other terms relating to the administration, variation,
	suspension and termination of the LTIP.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

In FY2016 an offer to participate in the LTIP was made to eleven of Bapcor’s senior executives on 24 December 2015. The plan has two tranches whereby;

• 34% of the allocated Performance Rights vest on satisfaction of the performance hurdles as tested on 30 June 2017

• 66% of the allocated Performance Rights vest on satisfaction of the performance hurdles as tested on 30 June 2018

A summary of the performance rights issued in FY2016 are as follows:

Of the total number of Performance Rights granted under each tranche, 50% are subject to the satisfaction of total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdles for the relevant performance period (TSR Rights), and 50% are subject to satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for the relevant performance period (EPS Rights).

Total shareholder return (TSR) growth

50% of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest subject to a TSR performance hurdle which assesses performance by measuring capital growth in the share price together with income returned to shareholders, measured over the performance period against a comparator group of companies. Depending on how Bapcor is ranked against this comparator group of companies, Performance Rights subject to a TSR hurdle will vest as follows;

13.5. Performance against key measures

The Company aims to align its executive remuneration to its strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder wealth. The table below shows measures of the Bapcor’s financial performance over the last two years as required by the Corporations Act 2001 . However, these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining variable amount of remuneration awarded to KMP’s. As a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the key measures below and the variable remuneration awarded.

13.8. Loans to Key Management Personnel

During the financial year, loans were made to Key Management Personnel (D Abotomey, G Fox and C Magill) to assist in the purchase of shares under the retail component of the Entitlements Offer. These loans are secured by the underlying shares acquired. The loans are interest bearing and are repayable on the earlier of sale of the underlying shares, termination of employment or 5 years from the date of the loan. For the most part, any remuneration in relation to over achievement of target STI’s is to be paid off against the outstanding loan balance. The total amount of loans made during FY2016 to Key Management Personnel was $3,050,000. Subsequent to the loans being made, there have been repayments of $1,270,000 and as at 30 June 2016 $1,780,000 remains outstanding on these loans.

• The issue of shares to P Dumbrell (via his related entities) occurred as part of the ANA acquisition settlement.

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

14. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Bapcor announced on 11 July 2016 that, in accordance with a resolution passed by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 4 July 2016, that the company name would be changed from ‘Burson Group Limited’ to ‘Bapcor Limited’. This was to reflect the expansion of the Group from the original “trade” focused business to include a variety of businesses including retail and specialist wholesale operations.

On 11 July 2016, Bapcor entered into amended terms of its syndicated debt facility. The structure is a secured senior debt facility. The amendment increased the available funds from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000. Refer to note 16 for more details.

On 25 July 2016, Bapcor entered into an agreement to purchase Baxters Pty Ltd (“Baxters”). Baxters is a specialist distributor of rotating electrical, electrical accessories and lighting to workshops, fleets, OE and defence.

On 25 July 2016, Bapcor entered into an agreement to purchase the business of Roadsafe Automotive Products (“Roadsafe”). Roadsafe is a specialist distributor of steering and suspension products along with 4x4 spare parts and accessories.

No other matters or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2016 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

• Bapcor's operations in future financial years, or

• the results of those operations in future financial years, or

• Bapcor's state of affairs in future financial years.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

Bapcor is not affected by any significant environmental regulation in respect of its operations.

16. INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the financial period, Bapcor paid a premium of $107,000 (2015: $70,000) to insure the Directors and Secretary of Bapcor.

17. PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings.

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the company with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

18. AUDITOR

PricewaterhouseCoopers continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Extension of current audit engagement partner’s tenure

The Company’s current audit engagement partner Mr Daniel Rosenberg of PricewaterhouseCoopers was appointed during the 2012 financial year audit. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , audit engagement partners must be rotated at least every 5 years. Accordingly, Mr Rosenberg would ordinarily have been replaced with another audit engagement partner at the conclusion of the 2016 reporting season.

Given this, the Audit and Risk Committee, as well as the Board, considered the impact of the rotation of Mr Rosenberg in 2016, in particular, in relation to audit quality, the Board noted that, amongst other things: given the Company’s recent ASX listing and the recent significant acquisition of Aftermarket Network Australia Pty Ltd it is important that the detailed knowledge and understanding that Mr Rosenberg has built up in relation to the Company and its industry over the past five years is retained to ensure the quality of the audit of the Company.

21

Bapcor Limited 30 June 2016

Accordingly, the Board resolved in accordance with section 324DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 to extend Mr Rosenberg’s term for an additional financial year on the basis that such an extension would be in the best interests of the Company. This means that Mr Rosenberg will continue as the Company’s audit engagement partner for the 2017 financial year. Importantly, in considering the extension of Mr Rosenberg’s term as audit engagement partner, the Board was satisfied that such an extension would not give rise to a conflict of interest situation, as defined in the Corporations Act and, thereby, impair Mr Rosenberg’s independence. PricewaterhouseCoopers have agreed in writing to the extension of Mr Rosenberg’s term.

19. REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for audit and non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 21 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 21 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

• all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor, and

• none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

20. AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 2322.

21. ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts. In accordance with that Class Order amoun t s in the Directors’ Report and Financial Report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to s.298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Bapcor Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Bapcor Limited is a for ‑ profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The Financial Report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

(ii) Changes in accounting policy, disclosures, standards and interpretations

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

(iii) Early adoption of standards

Bapcor Limited has not elected to apply any pronouncements to the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2015.

(iv) New and amended standards adopted

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period, however, the group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

(v) New and amended standards not yet adopted

Title of standard	Nature of change	Impact	Application date
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers	This new standard will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the transfer of control replaces the existing notion of the transfer of risks and rewards. The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application.	Management is currently assessing the effects of the new standard on the group’s financial statements. At this stage the group is not able to estimate the effect of the new rules on the group’s financial statements. The group will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next twelve months.	Mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Expected date of adoption by the group: 1 January 2018.

30

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

Title of standard	Nature of change	Impact	Application date
AASB 9 Financial Instruments	AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.	Management is currently assessing the effects of the new standard on the group’s financial statements. At this stage the group is not able to estimate the effect of the new rules on the group’s financial statements. The group will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next twelve months.	Must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Based on the transitional provisions in the completed AASB 9, early adoption in phases was only permitted for annual reporting periods beginning before 1 February 2015. After that date, the new rules must be adopted in their entirety. The group is currently assessing whether it should adopt AASB 9 before its mandatory date.
AASB 16 Leases	AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short- term and low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.	The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the group has net operating lease commitments of $74.8M. However, the group has not yet determined to what extent these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will affect the group’s profit and classification of cash flows. Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception for short-term and low- value leases and some commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under AASB 16.	Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. At this stage, the group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

(vi) Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

(vii) Rounding of amounts

Bapcor Limited is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off of amounts in the interim financial report. Amounts in the interim financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(viii) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying Bapcor Limited’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Bapcor Limited ('the company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Bapcor Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this Financial Report as Bapcor or ‘the Group’ or ‘the consolidated entity’.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which Bapcor has control. Bapcor controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer to note 1(h)).

Bapcor applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the consolidated income statement. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of Bapcor Limited.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the senior management personnel. Bapcor has three operating business segments. Refer to note 32 for further information.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of Bapcor's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Bapcor Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(e) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Bapcor recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of Bapcor's activities as described below. Bapcor bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

(i) Sale of goods

A sale is recorded when goods have been delivered to the customer, the customer has accepted the goods and collectability of the related receivables is probable.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

(iii) Rendering of services – franchise fees and advertising

Revenue from the provision of franchise and advertising services is recognised on an accruals basis.

Revenue from the provision of accounting and information technology support is recognized on a periodical asdelivered basis.

(f) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where Bapcor's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(i) Tax consolidation legislation

The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Bapcor Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences are recognised by the members of the tax consolidated group using the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the Company and each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the tax-consolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the difference is recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

(g) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where Bapcor, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that Bapcor will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to Bapcor as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 23).

(h) 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. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by Bapcor. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition-date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

(l) Inventories

Inventory is valued at lower of cost and net realisable value on an average cost basis. Cost comprises direct material and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure along with any applicable rebates and discounts.

(m) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

	Plant and equipment	2-15 years
	Motor vehicles	3-7 years
	Leasehold improvements	5-7 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(i)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

35

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(n) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as described in note 1(h). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments.

(ii) Software

Costs incurred in acquiring, developing and implementing new software are recognised as intangible assets only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, licenses and direct labour. Software has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of software over their estimated useful lives, which is two and a half to four years.

(iii) Brands and trademarks

Brands and trademarks are recognised as intangible assets where a registered trademark is acquired with attributable value. Trade names are valued using a relief from royalty method. Trade names are considered indefinite life intangibles and are not amortised unless there is an intention to discontinue use of the name in which case it is amortised over its estimated remaining useful.

(iv) Customer contracts

Contractual customer relationships are recognised as intangible assets when the criteria specified in the relevant accounting standards have been met. These are assessed to have a finite life and are amortised over the assets useful life. Customer contracts are currently amortised between three and twenty years.

(o) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to Bapcor prior to the end of financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the end of the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(p) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date or specific event, are classified as liabilities.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Bapcor has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual drawdown of the facility, are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.

36

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(q) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Bapcor has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(r) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee's services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Bapcor Long Term Incentive Plan (BLTIP). Information relating to these schemes is included in note 33. The fair value of performance rights granted under the BLTIP is recognised as an employee benefit expense over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the rights and options with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the rights and options granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest which are revised at the end of each reporting period. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The fair value is measured at grant date and the expense recognised over the life of the plan. The fair value is independently determined using a Black-Scholes or similar option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

37

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(s) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.

(i) Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are used to cover the consolidated entity’s exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect income or expenses. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that each hedge is highly effective and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss. When the hedged item is closed out, the cumulative gain or loss that was previously reported in equity is immediately reclassified to profit and loss.

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes ineffective and is no longer a designated hedge, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

(t) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(u) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

• the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares

• by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

• the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(v) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

38

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(w) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(x) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Bapcor Limited, disclosed in note 31 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Bapcor Limited. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised in the parent entity's profit or loss.

(ii) Financial guarantees

Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

2 Financial risk management

Bapcor’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance Bapcor’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. Bapcor’s principal financial assets are trade and other receivables and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

Bapcor is exposed to market risk , credit risk and liquidity risk . Bapcor’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. It is Bapcor’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

Bapcor holds the following financial instruments:

The carrying value of the assets and liabilities disclosed in the table above closely approximates or equals their fair value.

Borrowings are issued at variable interest rates (for details of the maturity of borrowings, refer to note 16) and cash and cash equivalents (refer to note 7) attract interest at variable interest rates. A portion of trade and other receivables are loans to customers and attract interest (refer to note 8).

‑ All other financial assets and liabilities are non interest bearing.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that a movement in exchange rates will lead to an adverse effect on the group profitability and cash flows. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s purchasing activities when denominated in a foreign currency. The objective of foreign exchange management is to minimise the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency in the short to medium term through the use of forward exchange contracts.

The Group manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions that are expected to occur within a maximum 12-month period for hedges of forecasted purchases.

When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Group negotiates the terms of those derivatives to closely match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, the derivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable change in USD rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The pre-tax impact on the Group’s equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material

	2016 2015
	Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000 Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(ii) Price risk

Bapcor is not exposed to significant equities price risk as no equity securities are held by the Group.

(iii) Cash flow interest rate risk

Bapcor’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. The interest rate and term for bank borrowings is determined at the date of each drawdown. The weighted average interest rate for the year ended 30 June 2016 was 3.35% (2015: 4.14%).

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Bapcor to cash flow interest rate risk. Bapcor, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap contracts under which it receives interest at variable rates and pays interest at fixed rates to manage the risk of adverse fluctuations in the floating interest rate on its Borrowings.

At the end of the reporting period, Bapcor had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding (refer to note 16 for further details):

	2016 2015
	Weighted average interest rate % $’000 Weighted average interest rate % $’000
Borrowings (Principal) Less amount covered by interest rate swaps	3.35% 148,800 4.14% - 2.39% (60,000) - -
Net exposure to cashflow interest rate risk	88,800 -

At 30 June 2016 if the weighted average interest rate of the banking facility had changed by a factor of +/- 10%, interest expense would increase/decrease by $499,000 (2015: $273,000).

(b) Credit risk

Bapcor’s exposure to credit risk arises from the potential default of Bapcor’s trade and other receivables as well as the institutions in which Bapcor’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited, and derivative instruments are traded with, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these assets. Further details of Bapcor’s trade receivables are included in note 8 and cash and cash equivalents are detailed in note 7.

Credit risk is managed in the following ways:

• The provision of credit is covered by a risk assessment process for all customers (e.g. appropriate credit history, credit limits, past experience);

• Concentrations of credit risk are minimised by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers.

• For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are currently used.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and ensuring that all term deposits can be converted to funds at call. Bapcor aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping accessible the cash reserves of the business.

A borrowing facility of $171,000,000 was in place as at 30 June 2016 (2015: $139,000,000) that enabled Bapcor to borrow funds when necessary, repayable during July 2018. The borrowing facility has been amended to increase to $221,000,000 subsequent to 30 June 2016 (refer note 16 for more details).

All other financial liabilities are current and anticipated to be repaid over the normal payment terms, usually 30 to 90 days.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(i) Financial arrangements

Bapcor had access to the following borrowing facilities at end of the reporting period:

	Drawn Undrawn Total
	2016 $’000 2015 $’000 2016 $’000 2015 $’000 2016 $’000 2015 $’000

	148,800 - 22,200 139,000 171,000 139,000

Subject to the continuance of meeting certain financial covenants, the bank loan facilities may be drawn down at any time.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse Bapcor’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(iii) Fair value of financial instruments

The following table detail the consolidated Groups fair values of financial instruments categorized by the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

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

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

Derivative financial instruments carried at fair value are forward foreign exchange contracts and floating interest rate to fixed interest rate swaps.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

The Group consider the foreign exchange contracts to be Level 2 financial instruments because, unlike Level 1 financial instruments, their measurement is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

As at 30 June 2016 Bapcor had various foreign exchange contracts in place to be settled subsequent to the end of the financial period. Burson is committed to pay A$21.3M and receive US$15.3M and JPY$26.4M at various dates subsequent to 30 June 2016.

• Borrowings contractual cash flows includes interest component based on the drawn/undrawn ratio and interest rate applicable as at 30 June 2016 until maturity of loan facility

42

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

The Group consider that the carrying amount of other financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

Interest rate swaps

The Group consider the interest rate swap contracts to be Level 2 financial instruments because, unlike Level 1 financial instruments, their measurement is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

As at 30 June 2016 Bapcor had various interest rate swap contracts to convert part of the borrowing facility’s floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate. These contracts are in place to be settled subsequent to the end of the financial period. Burson is committed to pay a monthly fixed rate on $60.0M and receive a monthly floating rate on $60.0M.

The Group consider that the carrying amount of other financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements to approximate their fair values.

Deferred consideration

The Group consider contingent consideration to be a Level 3 financial instrument because inputs in valuing this instrument are not based on observable market data. The fair value of this instrument is determined based on an estimated discounted cash flow analysis. Refer note 24(c) for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

(d) Capital risk management

Bapcor’s policy is to maintain a capital structure for the business which ensures sufficient liquidity and support for business operations, maintains shareholder and market confidence, provides strong stakeholder returns, and positions the business for future growth. In assessing capital management Bapcor considers both equity and debt instruments.

The ongoing maintenance of this policy is characterised by:

• Ongoing cash flow forecast analysis and detailed budgeting processes which, combined with continual development of banking relationships, is directed at providing a sound financial positioning for Bapcor’s operations and financial management activities; and

• A capital structure that provides adequate funding for Bapcor’s potential acquisition and investment strategies, building future growth in shareholder value. The syndicated loan facility can be partly used to fund significant investments as part of Bapcor’s growth strategy

Bapcor is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, other than contractual banking covenants and obligations. The Company has complied with all bank lending requirements during the year and at the date of this report, which include the following covenants:

• Net leverage ratio not exceeding 2.50:1 (Net Debt : EBITDA); with scope to 3.00:1 post significant acquisition

• Fixed charge cover ratio not exceeding 1.75:1 (EBITDA plus Rent : Net Total Cash Interest plus Rent)

3 Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the following judgements were made, apart from those involving estimations, which have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

(i) Purchase price allocation

Determining the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on acquisition of controlled entities. This includes judgements around contingent consideration components. For more information refer to note 24.

43

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

(ii) Contractual customer relationships and trademarks

Identifying those acquired relationships with customers and trademarks that meet the definition of separately identifiable intangibles that have a finite life.

(b) Estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

(i) Provision for onerous lease

The Group recognises provisions for rental agreements where the arrangements are estimated to be ‘onerous’ to the Group. In measuring these provisions, assumptions are made about utilisation of premises, future rental costs and in determining the appropriate discount rate to be used in the cash flow calculations. Refer to note 15.

(ii) Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets

The Group determines whether goodwill and other intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(n). This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and other intangible assets is allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets are discussed in note 12.

(iii) Contractual customer relationships

The useful life of contractual customer relationships of between 3 to 20 years includes estimates of future attrition rates based on historical rates experienced.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and repayment terms vary by business unit. The amount of provision for impairment of trade receivables has been measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables and the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the relevant debtors.

Customer loans relate to loans with franchisees. Loans with repayment terms of less than 12 months are classified as current. Non-current customer loans are discounted to their present value. Of the total customer loans balance, $678,000 (2015: nil) are non-interest bearing. $2,427,000 (2015: nil) of loans have a weighted average annual interest rate of 9.1% (2015: nil).

Other receivables are non-interest bearing. Receivables with repayment terms of less than 12 months are classified as current. These receivables are all neither past due nor impaired.

(a) Provisions for impaired receivables and loans

As at 30 June the amount of the provision for receivables and loans was $8,295,000 (2015: $532,000) represented by;

• Provision for trade doubtful debts $6,576,000 (2015: $232,000)

• Provision for credit notes $387,000 (2015: $300,000)

• Provision for customer loans $1,332,000 (2015: nil)

Bapcor recognised a loss of $447,000 (2015: $205,000) in respect of impaired receivables during the financial year.

Movements in the provision for impairment of receivables and loans are as follows:

Opening balance	(532)	(526)
Provided on business combination	(7,949)	-
Additional provisions recognised	(447)	(205)
Amounts used	633	199
Closing balance	(8,295)	(532)

The creation or release of the doubtful debts provision has been included in ‘Other expenses’ expense in the consolidated income statement. Amounts charged to the provision are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

The Group has access to security against most customer loans in the event of default. Security held may include bank and personal guarantees, fixed and floating charges and security over property and other assets. Due to the number and nature of the security held, their value cannot be practicably estimated.

(c) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. Refer to note 2 for more information on the risk management policy of Bapcor and the credit quality of the entity’s trade receivables.

(a) Impairment testing and key assumptions

Bapcor tests whether goodwill and other intangible assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(i). This test occurs once a year on 31 March balances, or when impairment indicators arise. As at 31 March 2016, the Group only had two operating segments – Aftermarket Network Australia and Burson Automotive. Given the subsequent change to the operating segments of the Group, a further assessment for impairment indicators was performed with none being identified.

Goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding computer software) are allocated to Bapcor’s cash generating units (CGUs) identified according to operating segment. The balances per segment as at 30 June 2016 were:

Trade	105,261	98,317
Retail	171,431	-
Specialist Wholesale	67,777	-
	344,469	98,317

The recoverable amounts of assets and CGUs have been determined based on the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell. These calculations require the use of key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections, as well as pre-tax discount rates.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations:

The recoverable amounts have been determined based on cash flow projections using a value in use methodology. The cash flow projections were derived from management forecasts based on next year’s budgeted result, with the remaining years based on management forecasts.

50

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

Management’s cash flow forecasts have been compiled based on past experience, current performance and market position as well as structural changes and economic factors which have been derived based on external data and internal analysis.

The following key assumptions were used in testing for impairment of goodwill; Pre-tax discount rate 10.42% Terminal value growth rate beyond 5 years (set at current CPI) 1.70%

A reasonable possible change in assumptions would not cause the carrying value of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

(a) Amounts not expected to be settled within 12 months

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave as well as accrued bonus. For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $20,124,000 (2015: $11,414,000) is presented as current, since Bapcor does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, Bapcor does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not to be expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

Subsequent to the financial year end, on 11 July 2016 Bapcor entered into amended terms of its syndicated debt facility to increase the total facility from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000. The structure is a secured senior debt facility. Key features of the facility include:

• Tranche A: $171,000,000 for funding the Metcash Automotive acquisition and general corporate purposes (including funding of acquisitions) and capital expenditure,

• Tranche B: $29,000,000 for working capital and general corporate purposes,

• Tranche C: $50,000,000 for general corporate purposes, capital expenditure and acquisitions

The facility is provided by a syndicate comprising Westpac Banking Corporation and ANZ and secured by way of a fixed and floating charge over Bapcor’s assets. This facility is repayable in on 31 July 2018. There are no changes to the debt covenants.

In FY2016 costs of $368,000 were incurred associated with amending the current facility, and are being amortised over the life of the facility and charged to ‘finance costs’ in the consolidated income statement. As at 30 June 2016 total borrowing costs of $616,000 (2015: $557,000) have not yet been amortised through the consolidated income statement. Subsequent to the end of FY2016 an additional $136,000 of costs associated with the amended facility will be capitalised as borrowing costs and amortised over the remaining life of the facility.

32 Segment information

(a) Description of segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Based on the organisational structure and the operation of the Board, it has been determined that the Board of Director’s are the CODM of the Group.

60

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2016

The operating results of the Group are regularly reviewed by the CODM and decisions around capital allocation and assessment of performance are performed based on three operating segments which also represent the three reporting segments, as follows:

• Trade, which represents the Burson Auto Parts and Precision Automotive Equipment operations.

• Retail, which represents the Autobarn, Autopro, Sprints and other retail focused brands.

• Specialist Wholesale, which represents the specialised wholesale distribution areas of the organisation that focus on a specific automotive area.

All segments operate in one geographical segment, Australia.

Segment revenue

Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length and are eliminated on consolidation. The revenue from external parties reported to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the statement of comprehensive income.

Segment EBITDA

Segment performance is assessed on the basis of Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA comprises expenses which are incurred in the normal trading activity of the segments and excludes the impact of depreciation, amortisation, interest, share-based payments and other items which are determined to be outside of the control of the respective segments.

33 Share based payments

(a) Executive share option plan

The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is intended to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of certain senior executives. The LTIP is designed to align the interests of senior executives more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior executives to receive an equity interest in Bapcor through the granting of performance rights (Performance Rights). The vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

The 2016 offer to participate in the LTIP was made to eleven of Bapcor’s senior executives on 24 December 2015. The plan has two tranches whereby;

• 34% of the allocated Performance Rights vest on satisfaction of the performance hurdles as tested on 30 June 2017

• 66% of the allocated Performance Rights vest on satisfaction of the performance hurdles as tested on 30 June 2018

Of the total number of Performance Rights granted under each tranche, 50% are subject to the satisfaction of total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdles for the relevant performance period (TSR Rights), and 50% are subject to satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for the relevant performance period (EPS Rights).

Total shareholder return (TSR) growth

50% of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest subject to a TSR performance hurdle which assesses performance by measuring capital growth in the share price together with income returned to shareholders, measured over the performance period against a comparator group of companies. Depending on how Bapcor is ranked against this comparator group of companies, Performance Rights subject to a TSR hurdle will vest as follows;

Company’s TSR relative to the TSR

	straight-line basis
Greater than or equal to the 75th	100% of the relevant tranche of TSR
percentile	Rights will vest

Earnings per share (EPS) growth

50% of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest subject to an earnings per Share ( EPS ) performance hurdle which measures the basic earnings per share on a normalised basis over the performance period. Each tranche of Performance Rights subject to an EPS hurdle will vest as follows;

Company’s compound annual EPS

Company’s compound annual EPS
growth over the performance
period	Percentage of EPS Rights Vesting
Less than 7.5%	0% of the relevant tranche of EPS

	of EPS Rights will vest on a pro-rata
	straight-line basis
Equal to or greater than 15%	100% of the relevant tranche of EPS
	Rights will vest

If vesting conditions are met, Performance Rights will automatically convert into fully paid ordinary shares of the company. Shares that are allocated in respect of each tranche will be subject to a 12 month holding period after vesting of the Performance Rights.
