- The directors believe the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures are useful for the users of the 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. Refer to the Directors’ Report for further details
** Pro-forma results include adjustments from statutory results for acquisitions, restructuring activities, transition costs associated with the new Distribution Centre at Tullamarine as well as the adoption of AASB 16 Leases to reflect the underlying performance of the business and ensure comparability between periods being presented. Refer to reconciliations provided in the Directors’ Report
*** Net profit after tax attributable to the members of Bapcor Limited
On 1 July 2019, Bapcor adopted AASB 16 Leases and as per the transition provisions the comparative periods have not been adjusted. The pro-forma results excluding AASB 16 Leases include an adjustment to remove the impact of this standard adoption allowing comparability with prior periods. Refer to details contained within the Directors’ Report.
Revenue for FY20 increased by 12.8% compared to FY19, mainly through the addition of the Truckline business, growth in Burson Trade and Retail and offset particularly by the COVID-19 impact in New Zealand. Pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’) and net profit after tax (‘NPAT’) excluding any impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases for FY20 decreased by 4.1% and 5.5% respectively. Record revenue and EBITDA were achieved in Burson Trade and Retail, predominately offset by the COVID-19 impact in New Zealand, and the bushfires and ongoing drought in Australia.
Pro-forma earnings per share (‘EPS’) for FY20 was 30.36 cents, down 9.2% compared to FY19 (based on pro-forma NPAT excluding any impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases ). This was partially reduced due to the equity issue undertaken in April and May 2020 to strengthen Bapcor’s financial position. Excluding the equity issue, pro-forma EPS would have been approximately 31.31 cents, a reduction of 6.4% from FY19.
Bapcor Limited Appendix 4E Preliminary final report
Pro-forma net debt at 30 June 2020 was $109.2M representing a leverage ratio of approximately 0.7X (pro-forma net debt[1] : last twelve months EBITDA annualised for new acquisitions). The level of debt represents a decrease of $226.1M compared to 30 June 2019 and reflects the equity raising performed during the financial year, positive cash generation through the ordinary course of business offset by the Truckline and Diesel Drive acquisitions and the deferred settlement paid on the Don Kyatt (Qld) light commercial truck group acquisition that was completed in December 2018.
FY20 was a year unlike any other – the impact of the bushfires and ongoing drought in Australia compounded with the COVID-19 government imposed restrictions in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. Each of these events had a negative impact on the Bapcor business, as they did on the economy generally. However, despite these impacts Bapcor has delivered a strong result in FY20 and is in a very solid financial position to optimise opportunities that arise.
For a further explanation of the results above, refer to the Company’s ASX/Media Announcement for the year ended 30 June 2020 and the accompanying Directors’ Report.

4. Dividend reinvestment plan
Bapcor operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (‘DRP’), which provides shareholders with the opportunity to utilise all or part of their dividends to purchase shares in the Company. Given the strong financial position and level of gearing as at the end of 30 June 2020, the Bapcor Board has decided to, in accordance with the DRP rules, suspend the DRP for the 2020 final dividend.
5. Net tangible assets
A large proportion of the consolidated entity's assets are intangible in nature, consisting of goodwill, customer contracts and trademarks acquired on business combination as well as software. These assets as well as any deferred taxes, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are excluded from the calculation of net tangible assets per share.

The Financial Report of Bapcor Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 is attached.
Bapcor Limited ABN 80 153 199 912
Financial Report - 30 June 2020
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity ('consolidated entity') consisting of Bapcor Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020 (‘FY20’).
1. Directors
The following persons were directors of Bapcor Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
| Andrew Harrison | Independent, Non-Executive Chairman |
|---|---|
| Darryl Abotomey | Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director |
| Therese Ryan | Independent, Non-Executive Director |
| Margaret Haseltine | Independent, Non-Executive Director |
| Jennifer Macdonald | Independent, Non-Executive Director |
2. Principal activities
During the year the principal activities of Bapcor were the sale and distribution of vehicle parts, accessories, automotive equipment, service and solutions.
Bapcor is one of the largest suppliers of vehicle parts, accessories, equipment, service and solutions in Asia Pacific with an operational network covering over 1,000 locations.
3. Significant changes in the state of affairs
FY20 was a year of unpredicted and unexpected events, including the Australian bushfires and drought as well as the international effect of the COVID-19 pandemic with enforced government lockdowns and restrictions on business. Bapcor, like most other businesses, was impacted negatively by these events. However the resilience of the business was once again shown, with the rapid recovery experienced once COVID-19 lockdowns were eased. When the epidemic was first affecting China, Bapcor took swift action to ensure our supply chain was not adversely affected. Also, when the pandemic started to affect Australia and New Zealand, management quickly took steps to ensure the safety of our team members, customers and suppliers. Discretionary expenditure was minimised as were capital investments. Expenditure was reduced in line with the reduction in sales.
In April 2020 Bapcor implemented a share placement and share purchase plan, raising $231.5M (net of costs), to underpin the financial strength of the business and ensure we were well placed during the impacts of the pandemic and to capitalise on opportunities that may arise. The equity issues were solidly supported by shareholders – with both being substantially oversubscribed.
Business efficiencies were reviewed in May 2020 across all businesses resulting in a reduction of approximately 5% of team members.
The group committed to a new Tullamarine Victoria Distribution Centre – which will be approximately 50,000m[2] . The state of the art facility will include a highly automated storage system called “goods to person”. This facility is due to be completed by the second half of FY21. Following commissioning of the new facility, all Bapcor’s current Melbourne distribution centres will progressively be transitioned to the new facility, delivering significant increases in efficiency and reductions in duplicated inventory holdings.
Bapcor continues to invest in upgrading the technology it utilises. In FY20, a state of the art warehouse management system was implemented in one of the distribution centres and will be progressively rolled out into others. A significant upgrade in the central computer hardware systems was completed and a new “retail point of sale” system launched. Further investments in Bapcor’s digital platforms are underway.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
On 2 December 2019, Bapcor acquired the business operations of Truckline and Diesel Drive which now form part of the Commercial Truck Parts group and improves the offering of both heavy and Japanese commercial truck spare parts. Throughout the year, Bapcor also acquired the smaller business operations of AFI, Brakeforce, Brookers, and RTS, as well as numerous retail franchised stores and set up new greenfield stores in most of its business segments.
Bapcor has also expanded its presence in Thailand and as at 30 June 2020 operates six automotive parts stores around Bangkok.
4. Dividends
Fully franked dividends paid during the financial year were as follows:
26 September 2019 $26,931,000 (9.5 cents per share); $7,274,000 settled via DRP 13 March 2020 $22,763,000 (8.0 cents per share); $6,770,000 settled via DRP
The Board has declared a final dividend in respect of FY20 of 9.5 cents per share, fully franked. The final dividend will be paid on 11 September 2020 to shareholders registered on 31 August 2020.
The final dividend takes the total dividends declared in relation to FY20 to 17.5 cents per share, fully franked, representing an increase of dividends paid of 2.9% compared to the prior financial year. Dividends paid and declared in relation to FY20 represents 61.7% of pro-forma net profit after tax.

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 passenger and commercial 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.
In FY20, Burson Trade was impacted by the Australian bushfires and drought as well as the COVID-19 restrictions, especially in April 2020, however it was still able to deliver record revenue and EBITDA. Compared to FY19, the Trade segment recorded revenue growth of 7.1% and EBITDA growth of 3.7%.
The increase in revenue of 7.1% included same store sales growth of 6% (compared to 2.2% in FY19). Burson did record negative same store sales in April 2020 of 11.4% - the major period that COVID-19 impacted this business. Trade’s EBITDA to revenue percentage was 0.5 percentage points below FY19 reflecting the impact of lower gross margin as a result of pricing pressure due to market competition and the impact of a sales promotion to attract new business.
During FY20, Burson continued to expand its store network with the number of stores increasing from 181 at 30 June 2019 to 186 at 30 June 2020. The increase of five stores consisted of four greenfield store developments and one acquisition. The average cost per new greenfield store including inventory was $717,000.
The new stores are located in Emerald, Kawana Waters and Manunda in Queensland and Wangaratta and Werribee in Victoria.
The Precision Equipment business achieved record revenue of $39.4M, despite a fall in demand from new car dealerships, and continues to grow strongly.
During the year, inventory holdings decreased by $3.1M (excluding new stores) due to a focus on improving inventory efficiency during the second half of FY20.
4
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
5.2 Operating and financial review – Bapcor NZ
Bapcor NZ consists of Trade and Specialist Wholesale businesses based in New Zealand operating across 81 locations.
BNT is the predominant business with 73 stores supplying automotive parts and accessories to workshops, truck and trailer parts through the Truck and Trailer Parts brand. BNT is similar in nature to Bapcor’s Burson Auto Parts business in Australia.
Bapcor NZ also includes the specialist wholesale businesses of HCB – batteries, Autolign – steering and suspension, JAS – auto electrical and Precision Equipment NZ – vehicle workshop equipment.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a large impact on Bapcor NZ, with the government required lockdowns heavily affecting trading ability in the second half of FY20. In FY20, revenue declined by 5.2% and EBITDA by 14% compared to FY19. EBITDA to revenue percentage was 1.3 percentage points below FY19.
Same store sales growth in FY20 for Bapcor NZ’s largest business, BNT, declined by 9% largely reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions. Prior to the restrictions being put in place in March 2020, same store sales growth were flat. For the period of March to June 2020, same store sales were down by 26%. During FY20, BNT continued to expand its store network with the number of stores increasing from 70 at 30 June 2019 to 73 at 30 June 2020. The increase of three stores related to greenfield store developments. The average cost per new store including inventory was $483,000.
During the year, inventory holdings decreased by $4.8M (excluding new stores and adjusted for foreign currency) due to a focus on improving inventory quality and realignment to reduced demand as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
5.3 Operating and financial review – Specialist Wholesale
The Specialist Wholesale segment consists of operations that specialise in automotive aftermarket wholesale and include AAD, Bearing Wholesalers, Opposite Lock, Baxters, MTQ, Roadsafe, JAS Oceania, Premier Auto Trade, Federal Batteries, Diesel Distributors, AADi, the Commercial Truck Parts group as well as the recent acquisitions of Truckline and Diesel Drive that occurred 2 December 2019.
The Specialist Wholesale segment achieved revenue growth of 26.0% and EBITDA growth of 8.7% compared to FY19. FY20 included the full year impact of the acquisition of the Don Kyatt (Qld) light commercial truck group in December 2018. Excluding this and the Truckline and Diesel Drive acquisitions from FY20, revenue grew by 5.5% and EBITDA declined by 7.1%. These two recent acquisitions have exceeded expectations in the first seven months operating as part of the Bapcor Group.
Due to the significant increase in size of the Specialist Wholesale segment, Bapcor has increased the investment in people resources for management, finance, human resources and marketing.
EBITDA to revenue percentage declined 1.5 percentage points below FY19 as a result of the Truckline acquisition and the increased investment in people resources. The volume and product groups that the Specialist Wholesale segment supplies into other Bapcor group businesses grew by 16.6% on FY19.
During the year, inventory holdings increased by $0.7M (excluding acquisitions).
5
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
5.4 Operating and financial review – Retail
The Retail segment consists of business units that are retail customer focused, and include the Autobarn, Autopro and Sprint Auto Parts brands, and the Midas and ABS workshop service brands. The majority of this segment is franchised stores and workshops, although an increasing proportion of Autobarn stores are now company owned.
The Retail segment achieved record revenue and EBITDA for FY20. Revenue increased by 14.7% compared to FY19. Autobarn same store sales growth for company owned stores was 14.5% and for franchise stores was 6.6%. For the second half of FY20, Autobarn achieved same store sales of 20.7%, of which the April to June 2020 quarter delivered same store sales growth of 33%. Company owned store growth was higher than franchise store growth reflecting the maturing of previously opened greenfield stores as well as the performance improvement of franchise stores that were converted to company stores.
FY20 EBITDA to revenue percentage of 10.4% was 0.2 percentage points below FY19. EBITDA in FY20 was 12.8% higher compared to FY19, predominately reflecting the improvements in Autobarn company owned stores and increased sales through franchisees.
Bapcor has continued to grow the number of company owned Autobarn stores via both greenfield Autobarn stores as well as some select conversion of franchise stores to company owned stores. The total number of Autobarn stores at 30 June 2020 was 134 stores, the same number as at 30 June 2019. The number of company owned stores increased from 66 to 79, with the 13 new stores consisting of two greenfield stores and the conversion of eleven franchise operations. The percentage of company owned Autobarn stores at 30 June 2020 was 59%, up from 49% at 30 June 2019.
At 30 June 2020 the total number of company owned and franchise stores in the Retail segment was 350 consisting of Autobarn 134 stores, Autopro 80 stores, Sprint Auto Parts 34 stores and Midas and ABS 102 stores.
During the year, inventory holdings increased by $6.2M (excluding new stores) due to product range extensions and a policy of increasing stock holdings in the stores to support increased sales levels.
5.5 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, as well as the results of the Thailand operations. It also includes the elimination of intercompany sales and EBITDA. Unallocated costs increased from $9.8M in FY19 to $23.7M in FY20 which was primarily due to increased investment in support functions such as human resources, legal, governance and IT as well as additional provisions that have been prudently taken in light of the COVID-19 pandemic for potential impacts to debtor collections and stock obsolescence.
Intercompany sales increased by 16.6% compared to FY19, reflecting a higher proportion of sourcing product internally and increasing the volume of “own brand” product.
The head office result includes the Thailand operations which recorded revenue of $4.2M and an EBITDA loss of $0.7M with Bapcor’s share of the Thailand business being 51%. During the year, inventory holdings for the Thailand based operations increased by $0.3M.

During April and May 2020, Bapcor raised $236.1M of share capital in order to strengthen its balance sheet and increase funding flexibility through the issue of 40,909,091 shares under a placement to institutional investors, and the issue of 12,762,225 shares under a share purchase plan offer to existing shareholders.

The adoption of AASB 16 Leases increases reportable net debt by the inclusion of $181.8M of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2020. Given this is excluded from a banking covenant perspective, pro-forma net debt has also been disclosed. Pro-forma net debt at 30 June 2020 was $109.2M representing a leverage ratio of approximately 0.7X (pro-forma net debt : last twelve months pro-forma EBITDA annualised for new acquisitions).
6. Strategy
Bapcor’s strategy is to be Asia Pacific’s leading provider of vehicle parts, accessories, equipment, service and solutions.
Trade
Trade consists of the businesses Burson Auto Parts and Precision Automotive Equipment. The business units are tradefocussed “parts professionals” businesses supplying service workshops. Bapcor’s target is to grow Burson Auto Parts’ store numbers via acquisitions and greenfields from 186 stores at the end of June 2020 to 230 stores with at least 35% home brand product content.
Bapcor NZ

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 102 stores at 30 June 2020 of which 100 were franchised. Bapcor considers Service a potential growth area due to the industry consolidation opportunities and the potential to vertically integrate supply of product through its Trade and Specialist Wholesale segments and will actively expand this segment.
Asia
Bapcor has commenced an expansion into South East Asia, initially into Thailand. Currently there are six greenfield stores selling automotive parts and accessories to workshops and retail customers. Bapcor sees significant potential to grow this footprint, once the concept is proven in Thailand. The initial two years of operations has achieved positive momentum.
Competitive advantages
Team Members – Our team members are the key to our success. Bapcor has a strong and experienced management team and a proven record of attracting, retaining and growing key talent across the group. Training and development of team members are a priority for the group.
Supply Chain – Strength of distribution network ensures fast delivery to trade customers who rely on quick access to parts to improve service time to their customers. Bapcor is investing in technology and new distribution facilities such as the new Distribution Centre at Tullamarine in Victoria to ensure it has a state of the art supply chain.
Diversification – Extensive breadth and depth of product range and capability across the group provides multiple revenue streams and continues to drive intercompany sales and margin improvements opportunities, whilst spreading reliance on profitability.
7. Industry trends
The automotive aftermarket parts market in Australia, NZ and Asia continues to experience growth based on:
-
(a) population growth;
-
(b) increasing number of vehicles per person;
-
(c) change in the age mix and complexity of vehicles (i.e. more vehicles in the four years or older range); and (d) an increase in the value of parts sold.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
Demand for automotive parts, accessories and services is resilient as vehicle maintenance is critical to operating a vehicle. Vehicle servicing is predominately driven by the number of kilometres travelled, with the number of kilometres travelled by passenger and light commercial vehicles not normally 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. With the impact of COVID-19, demand for second hand vehicles has increased as people seek to ensure social distancing with reduced reliance on public transport, as well as the expected increase in domestic holidays utilising motor vehicles. All of these factors lead to more demand for vehicle servicing, replacement parts and maintenance.
Online channels to market is now a common medium for retail businesses albeit only a small percentage of automotive retail sales are online. Through our retail businesses Bapcor has online sales channels, including ‘click and collect’ and ‘click and deliver’. In the trade and wholesale channels the group offers electronic ‘B2B’ trading including an extensive parts catalogue. Bapcor is investing in expanding its online capabilities, including in a new eCommerce platform.
In the trade business Bapcor’s fast delivery capabilities, wide product range and knowledgeable people are the key to Bapcor’s customer offering which on-line businesses cannot match. Bapcor does not believe online competition will have a material impact on Bapcor’s trade business over the next few years.
There is increased interest and production of electric vehicles. As Bapcor’s target market is parts and accessories for vehicles greater than four years old, and due to the large size of the conventional vehicle car parc (approximately 19 million) and how long it would take for electric and hybrid vehicles to become a meaningful percentage of the total number of vehicles on the road (currently less than two percent), Bapcor considers any impact to the Bapcor business within the next ten years as minimal.
8. Key business risks
There are a number of factors that could have an effect on the financial prospects of Bapcor. These include:
Pandemic risk - As has been shown in the past six months, a pandemic which results in restrictions on doing business, will have an impact on Bapcor. Pandemic, as well as other risks such as bushfires are unpredictable by their very nature. Once such situations are evident Bapcor will move swiftly to minimise the impact on its revenue, profitability and cash.
Competition risk - The Australian, NZ and Thai automotive aftermarket parts and accessories distribution industries are 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.
9
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
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. To mitigate this risk, Bapcor enters into forward exchange contracts based on expected purchases for the upcoming twelve months.
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. Bapcor senior management take an active role in the integration of acquired businesses.
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 senior management take an active role in the rollout and progress of store expansion.
Franchise regulations - Bapcor has a large franchise network within its Retail segment. Changes in franchise law or regulations may have an impact on the responsibilities of the franchisor or the operations of these franchise businesses. Bapcor senior management seek ongoing professional advice to monitor any developments and implement appropriate changes.
People risk - Bapcor is a highly focussed customer service business and its staff and senior management are key to maintaining the level of operational service to its customers, as well as executing Bapcor’s strategy. Any significant turnover of staff or loss of key senior management has the potential to disrupt the profitability and growth of the business. Senior management risk is somewhat managed through notice period and non-compete contractual obligations, succession planning and long term incentives.
Information technology - All of Bapcor’s business operations rely on information technology platforms. Any sustained unplanned downtime due to system failures, cyber-attack or any other reason has the potential to have a material impact on the ability for Bapcor to service its customers. Bapcor’s business units operate with a number of different operating systems making it less likely that any unplanned downtime will occur across the entire business.
9. Likely development and expected results of operations
In July 2020, all of Bapcor’s businesses performed strongly. Retail same store sales were c50% above the prior year, Burson Trade up c15%, New Zealand up c15% and Specialist Wholesale up c15%. Also, Thailand achieved record revenue.
In early August 2020, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian Government mandated closures of many Melbourne based businesses for six weeks. This included the closure of all of Bapcor’s Melbourne Retail stores, restrictions on all other businesses and a reduction of 30% of warehouse staffing. It is not yet possible to determine the financial impact of such restrictions. This has come at a time when there is strong performance in all of Bapcor’s businesses across Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
13. Remuneration report
The Bapcor Board is pleased to share with you our Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.
Since listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) in 2014, Bapcor, its executive and team members have consistently performed and delivered growth. This continued in FY20, even with the business being impacted by a number of unpredicted and unprecedented events including the ongoing drought in Australia and the bushfires across the Australian eastern seaboard during what is typically one of the busiest trading periods. The enormity of these events and their impact on the business was then surpassed by the COVID-19 global pandemic. COVID-19 initially disrupted much of our supply chain from China then having the most significant impact on Bapcor’s businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand with government imposed lockdowns, especially in New Zealand where the restrictions were the most severe requiring our business to effectively shut down with 48 hours’ notice.
Despite the impact of the drought, bushfires and COVID-19 we consider that Bapcor and its executive leadership team has continued to perform strongly delivering a 12.8% increase in revenue to $1,463M and pro-forma net profit after tax (‘NPAT’) of $89.1M (excluding the impact of AASB 16[3] ) which is a 5.5% reduction from the prior year. Statutory NPAT was $79.2M, which included expensing $11.7M of transition costs relating to the new consolidated DC being built at Tullamarine in Victoria.
The following chart shows total return to shareholders over the previous five years:

3 On 1 July 2019, Bapcor adopted AASB 16 Leases and as per the transition provisions the comparative periods have not been adjusted. The pro-forma results excluding AASB 16 Leases include an adjustment to remove the impact of this standard adoption allowing comparability with prior periods. Refer to details contained within the Directors’ Report.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
FY20 was a year unlike any other – the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand, the bushfires in Australia and the ongoing drought across Australia. Each of these events had a negative impact on the Bapcor business, as they did on the economy generally.
However, in spite of the impact of these events Bapcor’s businesses have performed incredibly strongly. The Burson Trade business achieved record revenue and record earnings, the Retail business delivered record sales and record earnings, and the new truck parts businesses have performed strongly. Bapcor has also invested in updating its digital capabilities with investments in computer infrastructure, implementing a tier one warehouse management system, and a new retail point of sale system as well as expansion of stores in Thailand and the development of a new mega distribution centre which is underway in Tullamarine, Victoria. This is in addition to the 43 new locations that were added to Bapcor’s network during FY20 bringing the network to approximately 1,040 sites throughout Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.
When COVID-19 impacted China in January 2020 and had the potential to disrupt the group’s supply chain, management moved swiftly to ensure availability of product. When COVID-19 impacted Australia and New Zealand, management acted quickly to ensure the safety of team members, customers and suppliers. Steps were taken to conserve cash by minimising discretionary expenditure, ceasing capital and expansion investment where sensible, reducing people resources in line with forecasted sales reduction and positioning the business for the duration of the government mandated restrictions. In addition the company’s gearing was reviewed, with the decision to undertake a share placement and share purchase plan to underpin the company’s financial strength. All these steps were put into place, at the same time as guiding the business through the challenges of operating an essential service of providing replacements vehicle parts to keep cars and trucks operating.
To be able to consistently deliver strong results and navigate through times of increasing economic uncertainty, it is essential that Bapcor attracts and retains a talented leadership team that can envision and deliver the strategy. The Board is very mindful that to attract and retain a talented and committed leadership team, executive key management personnel (‘KMP’) should be appropriately rewarded for their achievements as well as their skills and experience. Bapcor’s approach to remuneration to ensure this includes:
Setting fixed remuneration that is appropriate and market competitive to attract, retain and motivate our talented team in a highly competitive market at a time when there is increasing economic uncertainty. In FY20 modest fixed remuneration increases were made to KMP. These increases were based on independent market remuneration benchmarking which, as in previous years, targeted the 50th percentile of the benchmark, with a range of plus or minus 20%.
Given the economic challenges and uncertainty created by COVD-19, all executive KMP and Directors voluntarily took a reduction in their base remuneration of up to 30% for two months in the latter part of FY20.
Providing incentives to propel outperformance is the purpose of the other elements of our remuneration approach. These are underpinned by targets, established each year after in-depth consideration by the Bapcor Board, that will deliver the strategy and provide shareholder growth.
The Short Term Incentive (‘STI’) plan is structured by the Board to reward our executive KMP for delivering on our growth strategy with aggressive targets for both financial and non-financial indicators. To realise an STI, executive KMP need to face into challenges and take measured risks that will benefit our investors in the short term and continue to build the foundations and capital investments for long term sustainability. Primarily, STI payments are awarded for achieving and exceeding the NPAT or earnings before interest and tax (‘EBIT’) targets as well as improvements in working capital levels. Normally, these financial targets are set at levels greater than prior year. The targets that were set for FY20 obviously did not take account of the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19, the bushfires or the drought – all of which are beyond the control of management. Taking into consideration these unforeseen circumstances and reflecting the extraordinary achievements of the executive leadership team in the face of this, the Board has exercised its discretion in accordance with the rules of the STI plan and has revised the minimum threshold at which payment for achievement of these financial targets is made – noting that the targets themselves have not changed from those set at the beginning of FY20 which were set above the prior year and with consideration of market expectations at that time. In addition to financial targets, the STI includes non-financial targets for each executive KMP designed to drive key elements such as safety, people, long term strategy, compliance and governance. The Board also considered whether to defer FY20 STI payments and determined not to amend the normal payment process where only above target achievements are deferred for twelve months.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
Bapcor has a variety of short term incentive plans across the business units, all aimed at driving solid results and to encourage engagement by all team members. The contribution of all team members during FY20 is acknowledged and appreciated, with a once off special “thank you” incentive of $300 to be given to full time permanent team members and $150 to part time permanent team members, by way of Bapcor gift cards.
Since Bapcor’s initial public offering (‘IPO’) in 2014, the Long Term Incentive (‘LTI’) has consistently measured relative shareholder return (‘TSR’) and statutory earnings per share (‘EPS’) growth. The view of the Board continues to be that this is a reliable and transparent way to measure long term shareholder value aligning the interests of our executive KMP with the interests of our investors. As an incentive intended to drive long term shareholder value there have been no changes made or discretion applied to the LTI in FY20 despite the economic conditions. Once again, we believe our investors will be pleased with a compound annual statutory EPS growth rate over five years of 10.9% and that the executive team that achieves such strong and consistent results over the long term should be rewarded for its efforts. The Board also reports that 49.5% of the FY18 LTI plan allocated to the CEO and KMP’s vested.
As well as a capable and committed executive leadership team, Bapcor needs engaged, high calibre team members in every part of the Group to enact the strategy, accomplish financial targets and provide shareholder value. Ensuring all Bapcor team members are safe, engaged and able to realise their full potential remains, as it has always been, essential to the Group’s success. In FY20 the focus on team member engagement and development continued, at the heart of which was articulating and embedding Our Values. To establish the shared language for Our Values, Bapcor engaged more than 100 team members in cross-business unit workshops across Australia and New Zealand. This culminated in October 2019 when we launched Our Values of:
-
We give a damn…
-
We are in it together…
-
We get it done…
-
We do the right thing…
Our Values guide our decision making across the Group and are brought to life through being embedded in processes such as performance reviews. In the spirit of Our Values, safety has continued to be a priority across the Group with a range of improvements, programs and initiatives. A new Bapcor Work, Health and Safety (‘WHS’) Policy was launched in September 2019 to align the various policies from across the Group. The new WHS Policy is the cornerstone of the framework to lead and manage our approach to safety risks and is underpinned by a range of policies and safe operating procedures that form part of our Safety Management System. Pleasingly, the ongoing focus on keeping each other safe and well has seen a reduction of 9% in our twelve month rolling lost time injury frequency rate (‘LTIFR’) from 6.51 in June 2019 to 5.92 in June 2020. Part of our focus on safety also includes wellbeing and we were pleased to launch the Thrive Wellbeing Program in May 2020. Thrive provides training, tools, resources and information across four pillars of mental, physical, financial and social wellness. Our initial focus is on mental health and as a part of this, in addition to our existing Employee Assistance Program (EAP), we were pleased to provide all team members with on-line training and tools from the Black Dog Institute. After launching our Group-wide intranet, CORE, in December 2018 to connect and communicate with all team members regardless of their role, business or location, we continued to develop this throughout FY20 and were pleased to launch CORE Learning in May 2020 as our platform for on-line learning.
With the issues and uncertainty created by COVID-19, bushfires and drought, FY20 has been a year unlike any ever experienced by Bapcor. The Board is extremely pleased with the efforts, focus and determination of the executive team, and the Bapcor team more broadly, to achieve the financial and non-financial results that consistently improve returns to our shareholders and support all our stakeholders, even in the face of the unprecedented economic uncertainty.
As we move into FY21, the Board has approved a special short term incentive plan for achieving financial targets in the first quarter of the year. The purpose of this special incentive plan is to ensure a strong start to the new financial year especially in light of the uncertain and challenging circumstances around COVID-19 and the underlying economic conditions. This plan is in addition to the standard full year short term incentive plan. The full year FY21 STI targets have been set and are in line with current market expectations, however these will be reviewed at the end of the first quarter based on the prevailing market conditions.

14.1.2 Key Questions
| Key Questions | **Our Approach ** |
|---|---|
| How is FY20 executive remuneration different from FY19? |
The approach to executive remuneration remains consistent with FY19. Modest adjustments were made to executive remuneration based on independent market benchmarks with executive remuneration remaining positioned at around 90% of the median of the comparator peer companies, based on the information obtained from the independent advisor retained by the Board, Godfrey Remuneration Group. |
| Were there any changes in to executive remuneration during FY20 in response to COVID-19 and other events? |
Yes. All executive KMP volunteered a remuneration reduction of up to 30% for two months in the latter part of FY20. |
| Were there any increases to non-executive directors in FY20? |
Yes. Non-executive directors’ base fees were increased by 3% at the beginning of FY20. The last time Directors base fees were increased was 1 July 2016. Committee fees have not been increased since 1 July 2016. |
| Were there any changes to executive remuneration in FY20? |
Increases in executive remuneration were made in line with recommendations provided by the independent advisors – Godfreys. The CEO received a 3% increase in his fixed remuneration. Other KMP increases varied depending on the benchmarking. The target STI for KMP (excluding the CEO) was increased from 40% to 50% of Total Fixed Remuneration (‘TFR’) and the maximum increased from 70% to 75% of TFR. These changes were as recommended based on the benchmarking data provided by Godfreys. |
| Were there any changes to non-executive director fees during FY20 in response to COVID-19 and other events? |
Yes. All non-executive directors volunteered a 30% base fee reduction for two months in the latter part of FY20. |

STIs earned by executive KMP are based on targets established by the Board at the beginning of the financial year. The STIs at target level are 70% financial measures and 30% personal objectives with payment for achievement greater than target deferred for one year. At maximum level, the STIs are weighted 83.5% and 80% to financial measures respectively for the CEO and other executives. The aggregate of STI paid to the executive KMP for performance in FY20 was $2,220,926 which is 52.8% of the maximum that could have been paid. The Board’s view is that executive KMP have performed extremely well in navigating the economic impacts of COVID-19, bushfires and drought and, as such, has exercised its discretion by reducing the threshold at which payment for STI financial targets are made to 75% of target from 95% of target. Incentives are based on various components of the company's financial performance including: Revenue increase Pro-forma EBIT Group pro-forma NPAT Working Capital to sales percentage Inventory to sales percentage As no awards exceeded the target value, there has been no deferred components in FY20. Each executive KMP also has specific personal objectives agreed at the beginning of the year that align to the strategic goals of Bapcor. All executive KMP have personal objectives relating to safety, talent and succession, team member development, team member engagement, strategic growth and corporate governance. Given their area of accountability other personal objectives include new store and same store sales growth, customer satisfaction, own brand development, improvements in IT systems and investor relations. |
| Did the Board exercise discretion when determining the payments under the STI plan? |
Yes. The Board exercised its discretion reducing the threshold at which payment for STI financial targets are made from 95% to 75% of the original target given the unexpected economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand, and the bushfires and drought in Australia. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer, Greg Fox, was deemed to be a good leaver given his significant contribution to the growth and success of Bapcor and his FY20 STI payment will be made. Also, as in prior financial years, the STIs are structured to include personal objectives that contribute to the longer-term strategy and sustainability of the business and may be non-financial or not numeric in nature. As such, some judgement is required by the Board to assess the achievement of these personal objectives. |
| What were the FY20 STI performance measures for KMP’s? |
Section 14.5.1 and 14.5.2 of this report provides more details of the performance measures for FY20. |
19
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
| Key Questions | **Our Approach ** |
|---|---|
| How did the Board establish the STI performance measures for FY20? |
The Board has again determined that the focus of the executive team should be on growing NPAT for the CEO and CFO and Revenue and EBIT for all other executive KMP as well as targets for reducing working capital. Therefore 70% of the target STI award is tied to financial measures. Any above target STI awards are entirely based on the financial measures. Achievement of the non-financial measures aligns to the strategy and underpins the future growth and sustainability of the Company. NPAT target took into consideration analysts’ consensus expectations at the start of the financial year. Refer to 14.5.2 for more details. |
| How did the Board determine the 75% threshold that was applied in FY20 for STI’s? |
The unexpected and unforeseen impact of the bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to analysts’ consensus forecasts of Bapcor’s NPAT reducing to approximately 75% of their original forecasts for FY20. The Board considered that this was a reasonable proxy for market expectations, and based the threshold for STI’s on this expectation. The Board did not amend the NPAT target for FY20 that was set at the beginning of the financial year. |
| Did Bapcor receive any government incentives or support during COVID-19 – e.g. Jobkeeper |
In Australia no Bapcor business has received any subsidy such as Jobkeeper or benefit such as deferred payments of tax except for a Queensland payroll tax reimbursement. No benefits have been received in Thailand. In New Zealand Bapcor received a wage subsidy of $3.9M, of which 100% was paid to team members. In addition, Bapcor topped up the wages of New Zealand team members to pre-COVID levels although there was no obligation to do so. This ensured we retained our talented team allowing the New Zealand business to re-open swiftly once restrictions were lifted. During the twelve week period the subsidy was applicable to, Bapcor paid an additional $4.1M to team members. The subsidy did not contribute to NPAT. Bapcor NZ’s revenue fell by up to 80% during the lockdown. |
| Is there provision for deferral of STI and what if any has been deferred? |
Yes. Under the rules of the plan the component of the STI that is above target is deferred for twelve months. In FY20, there was no achievement above target and therefore no deferred amounts. There are also no deferred amounts from FY19 requiring payment in August 2020. |
| What LTI grants have vested in FY20? What was the basis for the vesting of those grants? |
The three year tranche of the LTI granted to 9 executives on 4 December 2017 being 76.2% of the total number granted, was independently tested by a third party against the company's FY20 TSR and EPS performance. The extent to which they vested is as follows: Relative TSR Rights:_Bapcor's TSR performance ranked at the 64.2% percentile of the comparator group. This resulted in 78.4% of TSR rights vesting. _Compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) of EPS: Bapcor's CAGR of EPS was 7.6%. This resulted in 20.6% of the tranche vesting. Shares from vested Performance Rights remain under a restriction on sale for a further twelve months, reflecting further alignment of executive and shareholder interests. |
20
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
| Key Questions | **Our Approach ** |
|---|---|
| Did the Board exercise any discretion in the vesting of LTIs in FY20 given the economic impacts of COVID-19 and other events? |
No. As a long-term plan designed to achieve long-term outcomes for investors and consistent with the approach since the IPO, the Board has not exercised any discretion or made any amendments to the vesting of LTIs. The Chief Financial Officer, Greg Fox, was deemed to be a good leaver given his significant contribution to the growth and success of Bapcor and will receive the LTI which vested in FY20. |
| What is the performance period for the LTIs? |
LTI opportunity is subject to a performance period of three years with a further twelve month restriction on sale for vested LTI. The Board continues with the view that three years is the appropriate performance period to drive a sustainable business, grow shareholder value and retain talented executive KMP. |
| How does the company determine the number of LTI Performance Rights to grant? |
The weighted average face value of shares is used to calculate the number of LTI Performance Rights granted. |
| What clawback provisions are in place? |
The Board has absolute discretion where it is determined a change in circumstances has occurred including material financial misstatements or some other event or series of events. Further, the Board has absolute discretion where a participant has engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct, or has engaged in or is being investigated for conduct which may adversely affect Bapcor’s financial position or reputation. |
| Did the Board make any one-off payment to executive KMPs in FY20? |
No. There were no one-off payments to executive KMPs in FY20. |
| Has the company made any loans to the executives in FY20? |
No loans were provided to any executive KMP in FY20. |
| Are any STI’s paid to other team members |
Bapcor has a range of incentive plans to encourage and reward performance. These incentive plans apply to all levels of the organisation. In FY20 Bapcor will make a discretionary payment to acknowledge all eligible team members contribution during the challenging events in FY20. |

14.5.2 FY20 STI performance metrics and outcomes
Participants in the STI Plan have a target cash payment that is a percentage of their fixed annual remuneration with financial and non-financial targets established by the Board each year. Actual STI payments may be below, at or above that target depending on the achievement of these financial and non-financial objectives. Given the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other events in FY20 such as bushfires and drought, the Board has exercised its discretion and reduced the threshold for payment of financial objectives from 95% to 75% of the target performance. This has been done to recognise the achievement and commitment of executive KMP in delivering results for all stakeholders during unprecedented conditions.
70% of the target STI opportunity of the executive KMP is contingent on meeting financial objectives of a combination of annual Revenue, NPAT, EBIT, working capital to sales percentage and inventory to sales percentage. The FY20 objectives set by the Board were at levels higher than the previous year’s achievement.
The remaining 30% of target STI is subject to meeting other annual personal objectives which are non-financial measures.
The unexpected and unforeseen impact of the bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to analysts’ consensus forecasts of Bapcor’s NPAT reducing to approximately 75% of their original forecasts for FY20. The Board considered that this was a reasonable proxy for market expectations, and based the threshold for STI’s on this expectation. The Board did not amend the NPAT target for FY20 that was set at the beginning of the financial year – which took into consideration analysts’ consensus at that time.
The Board considered whether the FY20 STI payments should be deferred in part or full however determined that as no KMP earned above the target incentive that they would not be deferred which is consistent with Bapcor’s policy.

Pro-forma NPAT for FY20 was $89.1M, a 5.5% reduction over FY19. Pro-forma EBIT of $138.7M was down by 6.0% compared to FY19. EBIT by business segment varied as detailed in the financial report. Group working capital to sales percentage reduced to 17.9% from 21.0% in the prior year. Inventory to sales percentage was reduced in most of the business segments. |

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
| Personal (which may be non-financial) 30% |
There are a range of metrics across the following criteria that are applicable to the executive KMP depending on their role and accountabilities, several objectives are shared across all executive KMP: Safety:various objectives including the development and introduction of a new Work, Health and Safety Policy, including a safety management system to underpin the policy. The introduction of a safety risk registers in each business with action items and quarterly review of the progress on action items. A reduction in the LTIFR (actual was down on prior year by 9%). Introduction of a Wellbeing program, including an Employee Assistance Program. Implementation of improved and reliable safety metrics was a core focus and will be for the coming year. People:with objectives requiring individual and team development, engagement strategies, talent management and succession planning, and training and development outcomes. A group wide intranet was also launched as a focal point for information to team members. A major target was the introduction of “Bapcor’s Values.” Customer engagement:including objectives to measure and improve customer sentiment. Significant improvements were made as evidenced by independent customer surveys undertaken during the year. Strategic acquisitions:with objectives requiring the identification of suitable businesses for acquisition, implementation of the business case and results regarding achieving the business case. A number of acquisitions were successfully completed during the year, with the major one being the acquisition of Truckline in December 2019. This strategic expansion positions Bapcor in the heavy commercial truck market and expands our core truck parts business so we now cover all forms of vehicles on road – the only business in Australia that covers all facets. The Truckline acquisition is already exceeding the targets set at time of acquisition. Organic growth:for each business segment objectives are set to deliver organic growth and market share gains. The main measure of same store sales was exceeded in FY20 with Burson trade being over 6% for the year and Autobarn 9.5%. NZ was behind the prior year due to COVID-19 lockdowns. New stores:the number of new stores required in business units to achieve growth targets. These targets were impacted in FY20 by COVID-19 with the targets not being achieved. Systems and processes:with objectives focused on the long term sustainability of the company in areas such as information technology and logistics. In this area key targets were around implementation of a retail “point of sale” system to replace the 25 year old legacy system; upgrade of the central computing infrastructure to ensure reliability; achieve savings on telecommunications costs. Compliance, governance and risk management:requiring processes and procedures to ensure achievement of compliance requirements and the identification and management of risk Major projects: for the achievement of milestones, deliverables and benefits of major projects such as the Warehouse Management System (WMS) implementation into Nunawading warehouse and achieve efficiency gains as well as prove them system for the new Victorian central DC. The new Victorian DC at Tullamarine is our other significant project. It will feature a state of the art automated storage system and will consolidate over 10 warehouses into one highly efficient facility, resulting in significant reductions in operating costs and inventory holdings. This project needs to be delivered effectively, efficiently and to achieve the operation efficiency improvements. |
A detailed explanation of the group’s achievements in the non-financial areas are contained in section 5 of the Directors’ Report. |

The STI performance measures are tested after the end of the relevant financial year. The resulting figures may differ from the amounts shown above.
14.5.3 STI payment, deferral and clawback
Where STI awards have been achieved, payments under the STI Plan are made after the release of full year financial results to the ASX with the exception of any portion of an award above the target up to the maximum award.
The amount of any STI award above target is deferred for a period of twelve months. Any deferred amount is payable to the executive after the release of the year ending 30 June 2021 financial results. In FY20 there were no deferred STI amounts.
All STI payments are in cash.
Awards are subject to claw back for any material financial misstatements that are subsequently determined in respect of Bapcor’s performance for the relevant period. The Board has absolute discretion where it is determined a change in circumstances has occurred including material financial misstatements or some other event or series of events. The Board also has absolute discretion where a participant has engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct, or has engaged in or is being investigated for conduct which may adversely affect Bapcor’s financial position or reputation.
14.5.4 LTI plan
The LTI is contingent on company performance over a three year performance period. Payments are rights to acquire shares (‘Performance Rights’). Performance Rights are granted at the start of the performance period. Vesting of Performance Rights varies with the extent that performance requirements have been met. On vesting, the Performance Rights entitle the executive to receive fully paid shares in the company at no cost to the participant.
The key terms of the LTI under which grants were made in FY20 and prior years are as follows:
| Administration | The LTI is administered by the Board. |
|---|---|
| Who participates? | In FY20 executive KMP who were employed at the commencement of the financial year were invited to participate. |
28
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
| What is the LTI opportunity? |
The LTI opportunity is the grant of Performance Rights that will vest on satisfaction of the applicable performance, service or other vesting conditions specified in the Offer at the time of the grant. The Board sets the terms and conditions on which it will offer Performance Rights under the LTI, including the vesting conditions, at the time of the offer. |
|---|---|
| Performance Rights | The LTI opportunity granted to participants in FY20 provides for the Performance Rights, upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, to convert into a fully paid ordinary share for each vested right. The Performance Rights do not carry any voting rights or dividend entitlements. |
| How was the number of Performance Rights determined? |
For the grants made in FY20, the number of Performance Rights was determined by dividing the executive's LTI value by the face value of a Bapcor share at the time of grant. |
| Performance period | Performance is assessed over a performance period specified at the time of the grant. The performance period for the LTI opportunities granted in FY20 are set out following this table. |
| Performance measures | Each executive is granted two tranches of Performance Rights. 50% of the total grant value of Performance Rights granted to the executive under each tranche are subject to the satisfaction of a TSR performance hurdle for the relevant performance period (‘TSR Rights’), and 50% are subject to satisfaction of an EPS performance hurdle for the relevant performance period (‘EPS Rights’). These are described in more detail in the section following this table. |
| Shares | Fully paid ordinary shares allocated on conversion of Performance Rights rank equally with the other issued ordinary 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. |
| Participation in new issues |
Performance Rights granted in FY20 and earlier 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 participants on the conversion of the Performance Rights must not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares over a five year period. |
| Trustee | Bapcor may appoint a trustee for the purpose of administering the LTI, including to acquire and hold shares, or other securities of the company, on behalf of participants or otherwise for the purposes of the LTI. |
| Quotation | Performance Rights are not quoted on the ASX. Bapcor will apply for official quotation of any shares issued under the LTI, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, and having regard for any disposal restrictions in place under the LTI. |
| Amendments | To the extent permitted by the ASX Listing Rules, the Board retains the discretion to vary the terms and conditions of the LTI. 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. No discretion to vary LTI terms and conditions was made in FY20 or prior years. |
29
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
| Clawback | The Board has absolute discretion where it is determined a change in circumstances has occurred including material financial misstatements or some other event or series of events. Further, the Board has absolute discretion where a participant has engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct, or has engaged in or is being investigated for conduct which may adversely affect Bapcor’s financial position or reputation. |
|---|---|
| Other terms | Shares acquired on the conversion of vested Performance Rights cannot be sold for a period of twelve months from vesting date. Performance Rights cannot be transferred, encumbered or hedged. The LTI contains other terms relating to the administration, variation, suspension and termination of the LTI. |
In relation to FY20 an offer to participate was made to 9 of Bapcor’s executive KMPs. These allocated Performance Rights have a performance period ending 30 June 2022 at which time the performance hurdles are tested. A summary of the terms are in the following table:

Relative total shareholder return hurdle
Fifty per cent of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest subject to a TSR performance hurdle that 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. The Performance Rights will vest by reference to Bapcor's TSR performance ranking against this Comparator Group of companies, as follows:
| Bapcor’s TSR relative to the Comparator Group over the performance period |
Percentage of TSR Rights vesting |
|---|---|
| Less than 50th percentile | Nil |
| Equal to 50th percentile | 50% |
| Greater than 50th percentile and less than 75th percentile | Pro-rata straight-line vesting |
| Equal to or greater than 75th percentile | 100% |
TSR for Bapcor and the companies in the Comparator Group will be calculated as follows:
-
TSR will be measured between 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2022 (the Performance Period);
-
For the purpose of this measurement, dividends will be assumed to have been re-invested on the ex-dividend date;
-
Tax and any franking credits (or equivalent) will be ignored; and
-
For the purpose of this measurement, the share price of Bapcor and the Comparator Group companies will be averaged over the ten trading days up to and including 30 June at the start and end date of the Performance Period.

-
The starting point for these EPS rights is the FY19 actual statutory EPS of 34.4 cents per share.
-
Basic EPS is calculated in accordance with AASB 133 Earnings Per Share .
-
The proportion of the EPS Rights that vest at the end of the Performance Period will be determined as follows:
| Bapcor's compound annual EPS growth over the performance period |
Percentage of EPS Rights Vesting |
|---|---|
| Less than 7.5% | Nil |
| 7.5% | 20% |
| Greater than 7.5% and less than 15% | Pro-rata straight-line vesting |
| Equalto orgreaterthan 15% | 100% |
If vesting conditions are met, Performance Rights granted in FY20 will convert into fully paid ordinary shares of the company. Shares that are allocated in respect of each tranche will be subject to a restriction on sale for twelve months from vesting of the Performance Rights.

14.7.4 Share-based compensation
The following table outlines the details of the LTI grants outstanding for each executive KMP participant and other movements in options and performance rights in the year. As options will not vest if the performance conditions are not satisfied, the minimum value of the option yet to vest is nil. LTI grants made to FY17 were on the basis of fair value calculated in accordance with Bapcor’s accounting policy as discussed in note 36 of the financial statements. From FY18 the weighted average face value of shares is used to calculate the number of LTI Performance Rights granted. There were no amounts paid and there were no amounts outstanding or due from KMP in relation to the grant of options during the year.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
15. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
In early August 2020, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian Government mandated closures of many Melbourne based businesses for six weeks. As discussed in section 9 of the Directors’ Report, it is not yet possible to determine the financial impact of these restrictions. Any further government restrictions may also affect the operations and earnings of Bapcor, of which the impact cannot be determined at this time.
On 11 August 2020, Bapcor announced the appointment of two new Non-Executive Directors effective 1 September 2020, Mr James Todd and Mr Mark Powell.
Apart from these matters and the dividend declared as per section 4 of the Directors’ Report, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.
16. Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.
17. Indemnity and insurance of officers
During the FY20 financial year, the company paid a premium of $400,000 in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of the company against a liability for costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the directors, in their capacity as a director, except where there is a lack of good faith.
18. 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.
19. Auditor
PricewaterhouseCoopers continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.
20. Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 37 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 37 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.
41
Bapcor Limited Directors' report 30 June 2020
21. 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 43 of the directors' report.
22. Indemnity of auditor
The company has agreed to indemnify their auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, to the extent permitted by law, against any claim by a third party arising from the company’s breach of their agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers. The indemnity stipulates that the company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities including a reasonable amount of legal costs.
23. Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration
As lead auditor for the audit of Bapcor Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been:
-
(a) no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and
-
(b) no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.
This declaration is in respect of Bapcor Limited and the entities it controlled during the period.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Refer to note 3 for details of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases .
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity'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 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 33.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Bapcor Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Bapcor Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
50
Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Bapcor Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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 financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Impairment of assets
Goodwill and other 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 reviewed 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.
51
Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:
-
Note 10 - Trade and other receivables
-
Note 11 - Inventories
-
Note 14 - Property, plant and equipment

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 3. Adoption of AASB 16 Leases
This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the consolidated entity's financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies and c ritical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that have been applied from 1 July 2019.
Leasing activities and how these are accounted for
The consolidated entity leases various properties, equipment and vehicles. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Prior to 1 July 2019, leases of property and equipment were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charge to the income statement, within occupancy expenses.
From 1 July 2019, the consolidated entity applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases of which it is the lessee, except for low-value assets. The consolidated entity recognised lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the consolidated entity. 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 right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straightline basis.
Impact on the financial statements
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 Leases using the modified retrospective method from 1 July 2019, and has not restated comparatives, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.
In applying AASB 16 Leases for the first time, the consolidated entity has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
-
the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
-
reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
-
the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of the initial application;
-
● the accounting for operating leases for low value leases; and
-
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
On adoption of AASB 16 Leases , the consolidated entity recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of AASB 117 Leases . These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 4.0%.
The associated right-of-use assets for leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the AASB 16 Leases standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

Earnings per share for the 30 June 2020 financial year decreased by 0.13 cents per share as a result of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases .
COVID-19-related rent concessions
The consolidated entity has elected to apply AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID19-Related Rent Concessions which provides a practical expedient that permits lessees not to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet specified conditions are lease modifications and, instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. This has been applied to all rent concessions that meet the requirements of the practical expedient and has been quantified as a benefit of $1.5M in the FY20 financial year.

Note 4. Segment information
Description of segments
The consolidated entity has identified four operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the CEO and Managing Director (who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM')) and is supported by the other members of the Board of Directors where required in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources including capital allocations.
The operating results of the consolidated entity are currently reviewed by the CODM and decisions are based on four operating segments which also represent the four reporting segments, as follows:
| Trade | Represents the trade focused automotive aftermarket parts distribution to independent |
|---|---|
| and chain mechanic workshops. Includes the operations of Burson Auto Parts and | |
| Precision Automotive Equipment. | |
| Bapcor NZ | Represents the operations of Brake & Transmission, Autolign and HCB Technologies. |
| Specialist Wholesale | Includes the specialised wholesale distribution areas of the organisation that focus on a |
| specific automotive area. Includes the operations of AAD, Baxters, Bearing Wholesalers, | |
| MTQ Engine Systems, Roadsafe, Diesel Distributors, Federal Batteries, JAS Oceania, | |
| Premier Auto Trade, Toperformance, Commercial Truck Parts group including the recently | |
| acquired operations of Diesel Drive and Truckline. | |
| Retail | Represents the retail focused accessory stores that are positioned as the first choice |
| destination for both the everyday consumer and automotive enthusiast as well as the | |
| service areas of Bapcor. Includes the operations of Autobarn, Autopro, Sprint Auto Parts, | |
| Midas and ABS. |
The consolidated entity's Thailand based operations have been included in the Unallocated/Head Office supporting segment as they are considered immaterial in nature for the financial periods.
Segment revenue
Intersegment transactions are carried out at arm's length and 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.

Significant accounting policies
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Rendering of services - franchise and service fees
Revenue from services are recognised over time as the services are rendered in line with the customer contract terms.
4 The prior year split for timing of revenue recognition has been restated to reflect current disclosure methodology and allow comparability.

Significant accounting policies
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
63
Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 8. Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Note 9. Discontinued operations
Description
The discontinued operations in the prior financial period relate to the sale of the TRS business unit of the Bapcor NZ segment that occurred 3 July 2018. Given the timing of the disposal, there was no profit or loss or cash flow contribution to the consolidated entity in the prior financial period.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and repayment terms vary by business unit. The total allowance for expected credit losses including the amount held in non-current receivables is $9,084,000 (2018: $6,235,000). This includes specifically identified provisions of $7,562,000 (2019: $5,471,000) and an estimated credit loss provision of $1,522,000 (2019: $764,000). The increase is due to the current level of economic uncertainty in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customer loans relate to loans with franchisees. Loans with repayment terms of less than twelve months are classified as current. Non-current customer loans are discounted to their present value. Of the total customer loans balance including the non-current portion, $343,000 (2019: $633,000) are non-interest bearing. $219,000 (2019: $418,000) of loans have a weighted average annual interest rate of 10.5% (2019: 9.8%).
Other receivables relate to rebate and other non-trading receivables which are non-interest bearing. Receivables with repayment terms of less than twelve months are classified as current. These receivables are all neither past due nor impaired.
The ageing of the net trade receivables and loans above are as follows:

Bapcor recognised a loss of $3,882,000 (2019: $158,000) in respect of impaired receivables during the financial year.
Significant accounting policies
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for specific debtors and general expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for specific debtors and general expected credit losses.
Impairment
The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, whereby specific provision will be applied to trade and other receivables not expected to be collected and expected credit losses associated with the trade and other receivables.
In assessing the expected credit losses, the consolidated entity first considers any specific debtors that have objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables, taking into consideration the indicators of significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and default or delinquency in payments. The consolidated entity then applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance, on the balance of receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on aging.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is assessed by taking into account the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor's financial position.

The additional provisions recognised against profit has increased compared to prior financial year due to the current level of economic uncertainty in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Significant accounting policies
Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The provision for slow moving inventory assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

- Accelerated depreciation relates to the Victorian DC Consolidation project and is based on the estimated exit dates of each site. Refer to note 17 for more information.
Significant accounting policies
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 14. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Significant accounting policies
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
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 consolidated entity 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 is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Plant and equipment | 2-15 years 3-7 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Impairment testing
Impairment testing of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets occurs each year on 31 March balances or when impairment indicators arise. The recoverable amount of assets including goodwill and other indefinite useful life intangible assets is determined based on value-in-use calculations at an individual or a combination of cash-generating units ('CGU') up to the operating segment level. These calculations require the use of key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections, as well as pre-tax discount rates. The testing was regularly updated and assessed up until the date of this financial report.
Cash flow projections were based on management forecast expectations based on the FY21 budget and the latest five year strategic plan. This has 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. A weighted average scenario approach was used for the cash flows in order to account for further uncertainty introduced by the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic.
The following key assumptions were used in testing for impairment:
-
Pre-tax discount rate: 12.66% (2019: 12.71%[5] ) which reduced due to the inclusion of the lease liabilities into the gearing calculation from the adoption of AASB 16 Leases
-
Terminal value growth rate beyond 5 years: 1.80% (2019: 1.80%)
-
Forecast year on year revenue and EBITDA margin growth ranges as follows:

Note 15. Intangibles (continued)
A reasonable possible change in assumptions would not cause the carrying value of the CGUs to exceed its recoverable amount in the Trade, Specialist Wholesale and Bapcor NZ CGU’s.
The Retail CGU, Autopro brand and ABS brand are relatively more sensitive to changes in trading conditions. The following tables show sensitivities of a +5%/-5% change to the major financial metrics within the calculations.
Retail CGU
The recoverable amount of the Retail CGU is estimated to exceed its carrying amount at 30 June 2020 by $1.6M. This decreased from $5.1M at 31 December 2019 due to a higher asset base.
| Financial metric | + 5% change | -5 % change |

| Revenue growth (average) | Increase headroom to $5.7M | Impairment of $2.5M |
| EBITDA margin (average) | Increase headroom to $17.5M | Impairment of $14.3M |
| Terminal growth rate | Increase headroom to $3.7M | Impairment of $0.5M |
Autopro brand
The recoverable amount of the Autopro brand is estimated to approximate its carrying amount at 30 June 2020. This has not changed since previously reported.
| Financial metric | + 5% change | -5 % change |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | Impairment of $0.3M | Increase headroom by $0.4M |
| Revenue growth (average) | No material change | Impairment of $0.1M |

Significant accounting policies
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Tradenames
Tradenames (including brands) are recognised as intangible assets where a registered trademark is acquired with attributable value. They are valued using a relief from royalty method and are considered indefinite life intangibles and are not amortised unless there is an intention to discontinue their use in which it is amortised over the estimated remaining useful life.
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life which is currently between 10 and 20 years.
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 consolidated entity 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 is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life which is currently between 2 and 5 years. Large scale projects are individually assessed as part of the approval process and determination of finite life may exceed this range.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 15. Intangibles (continued)
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related amortisation charges for its finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-inuse calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

Significant accounting policies
The trade payable and accrued expense amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition.

Deferred settlements
This provision represents the obligation to pay consideration following the acquisition of a business. It is measured at the present value of the estimated liability.
As at 30 June 2020, the following deferred settlements are provided for:
-
Toperformance; currently provided at nil (2019: $500,000)
-
Tricor; currently provided at nil (2019: $477,000)
-
AADi; currently provided at $969,000 (2019: $1,903,000)
-
Commercial Truck Parts group of entities; currently provided at $1,500,000 (2019: $16,500,000)
During the previous financial year, the consolidated entity completed the Baxters acquisition deferred settlement payment for $16,926,000 which resulted in the remaining provision of $4,053,000 being released to profit. This was presented in the statement of comprehensive income as ‘other gains’.
Make good provision
The provision represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the premises leased by the consolidated entity at the end of the respective lease terms.
During FY20 an incremental $1.4M was provided for the locations involved in the Victorian DC Consolidation project. Refer to 'Restructuring provision' below for further information.
Onerous lease provision
In the previous year, this provision represented the present value of the estimated costs, net of any sub-lease revenue that would be incurred until the end of the lease terms where the obligation is expected to exceed the economic benefit to be received.
Onerous lease provisions are now accounted for under AASB 16 Leases and have been reclassified on adoption of the standard. Refer to note 3 for further details.

Restructuring provision
On the 10th February 2020, Bapcor approved a new state of the art 50,000m[2] distribution centre to be built at Tullamarine in Victoria to consolidate its Melbourne warehouses. Construction of the facility is underway and includes state of the art goods to person technology with completion expected during FY21.
This provision represents the estimated termination costs relating to the potential closure of a number of sites for this project.
As well as the $4.0M restructuring provision, other items recognised within the FY20 financial year relating to this project include:
-
$1.0M accelerated depreciation relating to property, plant and equipment (refer to note 14),
-
$5.1M accelerated depreciation relating to the property right-of-use assets (refer to note 13), and
-
$1.4M make good provision (refer to 'Make good provision' above).

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next twelve months
The current provision for employee benefits includes 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 is presented as current, since the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the consolidated entity does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next twelve months.
The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken within the next twelve months:

Note 17. Provisions (continued)
Significant accounting policies
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date 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 reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The deferred settlements liability is the difference between the total purchase consideration, usually on an acquisition of a business combination, and the amounts paid or settled up to the reporting date, discounted to net present value. The consolidated entity applies provisional accounting for any business combination. Any reassessment of the liability during the provisional period is adjusted for retrospectively as part of the fair value of consideration. Thereafter, at each reporting date, the deferred settlement liability is reassessed against revised estimates and any increase or decrease in the net present value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss to profit or loss. The increase in the liability resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Significant accounting policies
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
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 amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 19. Lease liabilities (continued)
Significant accounting policies
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In determining the lease term, the consolidated entity considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed on an ongoing basis as well as if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) any option to renew.

Significant accounting policies
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.
81
Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 20. Derivative financial instruments (continued)
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 risks associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income through the cash flow hedges reserve 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.
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, the amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or 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, the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.
Note 21. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's financial instruments, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 21. Fair value measurement (continued)
Derivative financial instruments carried at fair value are forward foreign exchange contracts and floating interest rate to fixed interest rate swaps. These are considered to be Level 2 financial instruments because their measurement is derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Deferred settlements are considered 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.
Significant accounting policies
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Significant accounting policies
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Bapcor Limited, 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 financial year and excluding treasury shares.
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.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 29. Financial risk management
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
The consolidated entity holds the following financial instruments:
| Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Derivative financial instruments Total financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Derivative financial instruments Deferred settlements Borrowings * Lease liabilities Total financial liabilities |
Consolidated 2020 2019 $'000 $'000 126,300 47,610 155,216 155,111 131 897 281,647 203,618 222,204 183,645 4,652 843 2,469 19,380 230,982 382,960 181,808 - 642,115 586,828 |

| 222,204 4,652 2,469 230,982 181,808 |
|
| 642,115 |
- Trade and other receivables in the table excludes prepayments which are not classified as financial instruments ** Borrowings excludes any unamortised transaction costs capitalised
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily with respect to the United States dollar and the New Zealand dollar.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, primarily the purchase of inventory for sales, recognised financial assets and financial liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the consolidated entity has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted cash flows for the ensuing financial year. Management has a risk management policy to hedge between 25% and 100% of anticipated foreign currency transactions for the subsequent twelve months.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a change in the Australian dollar against other currencies, with all other variables held constant. The impact on profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The pre-tax impact on equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges as well as foreign currency loans designated as net investment hedges.

Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity'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.
Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the consolidated entity to cash flow interest rate risk. The consolidated entity, 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.
As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding:
| 2020 | 2019 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted | Weighted | |||
| average | average | |||
| interest rate | Balance | interest rate | Balance | |
| Consolidated | % | $'000 | % | $'000 |
| Borrowings (principal) | 2.56% | 230,982 | 3.47% | 382,960 |
| Less: amounts covered by interest rate swaps | 2.54% | (20,000) | 2.44% | (40,000) |
| Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk | 210,982 | 342,960 |
As at 30 June, if the weighted average interest rate of the bank borrowings had changed by a factor of + / - 10%, interest expense would increase / decrease by $590,000 (2019: $1,329,000).
The amount recognised in other comprehensive income net of tax in relation to interest rate swaps was $104,000 (2019: ($32,000)).

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 29. Financial risk management (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. Credit risk is managed in the following ways:
-
1) The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit for all customers, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits.
-
2) Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high quality independently rated financial institutions with a minimum rating of 'A'.
3) Concentrations of credit risk are minimised by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers. 4) In some instances the consolidated entity holds collateral over its trade receivables and loans in the form of personal guarantees and charges under the Personal Property Securities Register.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and note 10. No trade receivables have an external credit rating, and management classify trade receivables on aging profiles.
As well as identifying specific expected credit losses, the consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses on the remaining trade receivable balances through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than one year.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Financing arrangements
Unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date:
| Bank loans including overdraft* | Consolidated 2020 2019 $'000 $'000 286,518 134,540 |
|---|---|
- The unused facility value excludes any facility that relates to bank guarantees. Refer to note 18 for further information.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities disclosed in the statement of financial position do not differ materially from their carrying values.
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity'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 both equity and debt instruments are taken into consideration.
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 the consolidated entity's operations and financial management activities; and
-
a capital structure that provides adequate funding for potential acquisition and investment strategies, building future growth in shareholder value. The loan facility can be partly used to fund significant investments as part of this growth strategy.

Goodwill in relation to these acquisitions relates to the anticipated future probability of their contribution to the consolidated entity's total business.
The Diesel Drive acquisition contributed revenue of $7,260,000 and net profit after tax of $924,000 to the consolidated group since acquisition on 2 December 2019. Based on historical management results that have not been reviewed or audited and excluding any transitional impacts, the contribution to revenue and net profit after tax if the Diesel Drive acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019 is estimated to have been $13,007,000 and $1,799,000 respectively.
The Truckline acquisition contributed revenue of $57,367,000 and net profit after tax of $1,880,000 to the consolidated group since acquisition on 2 December 2019. Based on historical management results that have not been reviewed or audited and excluding any transitional impacts, the contribution to revenue and net profit after tax if the Truckline acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019 is estimated to have been $101,159,000 and $3,186,000 respectively.
Each of the other acquisitions took place on different dates and are heavily integrated into the consolidated entity's operations and as such it is impractical to disclose the amount of revenue or profit since acquisition date.

Note 31. Business combinations (continued)
Prior financial year acquisitions
No material changes have occurred to the prior financial year acquisitions.
Significant accounting policies
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. 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 acquisitiondate. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is recognised 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.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

Note 36. Share-based payments
The Long Term Incentive ('LTI') plan is intended to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of nominated senior executives. The LTI is a payment contingent on three year performance and the payments are rights to acquire shares ('Performance Rights'). Refer to the audited Remuneration Report within the Directors' Report for further information on the LTI.
In relation to the FY20 year an offer to participate in the LTI was made to nine of Bapcor's senior executives. These allocated Performance Rights have a performance period that ends on 30 June 2022 at which time the performance hurdles are tested. A summary of the terms for the Performance Rights granted in the current financial year is in the following table:
| Grant date | 6/09/19 | 1/11/19 |

Relative total shareholder return ('TSR') hurdle
Fifty per cent of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest subject to a TSR performance hurdle that 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. The Performance Rights will vest by reference to Bapcor's TSR performance ranking against this Comparator Group of companies, as follows:
| Bapcor’s TSR relative to the Comparator Group over the performance period |
Percentage of TSR Rights vesting |
|---|---|
| Less than 50th percentile | Nil |
| Equal to 50th percentile | 50% |
| Greater than 50th percentile and less than 75th percentile | Pro-rata straight-line vesting |
| Equal to or greater than 75th percentile | 100% |
Earnings per share ('EPS') growth
Fifty per cent of the Performance Rights granted to a participant will vest by reference to an EPS performance hurdle that measures the basic EPS on a normalised basis over the performance period. Each tranche of Performance Rights subject to an EPS hurdle will vest as follows:
| Bapcor's compound annual EPS growth over the performance period |
Percentage of EPS Rights Vesting |
|---|---|
| Less than 7.5% | Nil |
| 7.5% | 20% |

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 36. Share-based payments (continued)
Performance Rights issued up to 30 June 2017 are exercised as soon as the vesting conditions are met. If vesting conditions are met, Performance Rights will automatically convert into fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
For Performance Rights issued on or after 1 July 2017, if vesting conditions are met, the Performance Rights are converted into fully paid ordinary shares of the Company at the election of the Participant.
Where there is no specific expiry date, the Performance Rights lapse if the vesting conditions are not met.
Shares will be subject to a restriction on sale for twelve months from vesting of the Performance Rights.

The weighted average exercise price for the Performance Rights exercised in the current financial year was $6.94 (2019: $7.48).
The weighted average contractual lives are 1.76 years (2019: 1.63 years).
The expense arising from share-based payment transactions relating to the LTI during the year as part of employee benefits expense was $2,219,000 (2019: $1,852,000).
Note: The numbers in the disclosures above include amounts relating to employees that are not key management personnel and therefore differ to those presented in audited Remuneration Report within the Directors' Report.
Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan
During the financial year, Bapcor issued shares to employees via an Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan ('ESSSP'). The ESSSP allowed eligible employees to acquire up to $1,000 of shares from their pre-tax wages. The value of this share-based payment transaction is deemed immaterial to the financial statements.
102
Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 36. Share-based payments (continued)
Significant accounting policies
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Long-Term Incentive ('LTI') plan. The fair value of performance rights granted under the LTI 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 profit or loss, 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.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Operating lease commitments includes contracted amounts for various retail outlets, warehouses, offices and plant and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated. In the current year, these have been replaced by the disclosures required under AASB 16 Leases .
Contingent liabilities
There are no contingent liabilities (2019: Nil).
The divestment of the non-core businesses of Footwear and Contract Resources as well as the TRS business unit in previous financial years include standard indemnity and warranty clauses as is customary in these type of transactions.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
Note 39. Events after the reporting period
In early August 2020, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian Government mandated closures of many Melbourne based businesses for six weeks. As discussed in section 9 of the Directors Report, it is not yet possible to determine the financial impact of such restrictions. Any further government restrictions may also affect the operations and earnings of Bapcor, of which the impact cannot be determined at this time.
On 11 August 2020, Bapcor announced the appointment of two new Non-Executive Directors effective 1 September 2020, Mr James Todd and Mr Mark Powell.
Apart from these matters and the dividend declared as disclosed in note 26, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Our audit approach
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.
==> picture [211 x 117] intentionally omitted <==
Materiality
-
For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $6.1 million, which represents approximately 5% of the Group’s profit before tax adjusted for the Victorian DC Consolidation costs.
-
We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole.
-
We chose Group adjusted profit before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured.
-
We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds.
Audit Scope
-
Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events.
-
Audit procedures were performed on the Australian and New Zealand operations assisted by local component auditors in New Zealand under the supervision of the Group engagement team.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit
108

procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee.

The rapidly developing COVID-19 pandemic has meant assumptions regarding the economic outlook and the impacts on the Group’s estimates are uncertain, increasing the degree of judgement required in determining the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Specifically, this includes judgements regarding the impact of COVID-19 on forward looking information, including short term and future growth rates, terminal value forecasts and application of probability weightings to cash flow forecasts.
-
Considering whether the application of probability weightings to the cash flow forecasts was reasonable and consistent with the Group’s post COVID-19 recovery scenario planning

109

Key audit matter
Given the level of judgement applied by the Group, and the financial significance of the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives recognised in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position, we determined that this continues to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
CGUs by considering relevant industry and market factors
-
the models applied to test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment included the appropriate inputs as required under Australian Accounting Standards
-
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the models on a sample basis.
We also considered the adequacy of disclosures in note 15, including those regarding the key assumptions, in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.
Carrying value of Inventory
(Refer to note 11) $363.0m
At 30 June 2020, the Group recorded a provision for aged and slow-moving inventory of $55.9 million. The provision is calculated by applying judgemental provisioning rates to aged and slow-moving inventory categories. Specific provision is also recorded for items where the known net realisable value is lower than cost.
We considered this to be a key audit matter because of the significant judgement required by the Group in determining the net realisable value of inventory and the potentially material impact that changes in the provision could have on the financial report.
Our audit procedures included the following, amongst others:
-
Considering whether all the necessary inventory balances were included in the inventory provision calculation
-
Evaluating whether the methodology applied to the provision calculation was consistent with that applied in the prior year and was in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
-
Testing the movement in the inventory provision, including agreeing a sample of inventory written off to supporting documentation such as Board approvals
-
Considering the adequacy of disclosures in note 11 in light of the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.
Lease accounting and adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) (Refer to notes 3, 13 and 19)
On 1 July 2019, the Group adopted AASB 16 and as a result, applied new accounting policies for leasing from that date.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group recognised the following:
We performed the following procedures amongst others:
-
For a sample of lease agreements, we tested the mathematical accuracy of the Group’s calculations of the relevant RoU asset and lease liability.
-
For a sample of lease agreements, agreed key inputs, including the lease term, fixed and variable payments and termination and
110
==> picture [77 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Key audit matter
-
Right-of-use (RoU) assets: $158.0 million
-
Lease liabilities (current and non-current): $181.8 million
We considered this to be a key audit matter given:
-
The financial year ended 30 June 2020 is the first year of reporting under AASB 16 and the Group has a number of lease arrangements
-
the financial significance of RoU assets and Lease liabilities
-
the judgement required by the Group in determining the lease term where a lease contract contains an option to extend or terminate the lease
-
the complexity of applying the requirements of AASB 16 to lease contracts with variable lease payments.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
-
extension options, to the supporting lease contracts
-
● For a sample of lease contracts that contain an option to extend or terminate the lease, we assessed whether the key assumptions used by the Group to determine the lease term were reasonable in the context of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards
-
● For a sample of lease agreements, assessed the appropriateness of the accounting treatment of the variable lease payments in the context of the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards
-
● Considered whether the calculation of incremental borrowing rates is consistent with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards
-
For a sample of lease agreements, assessed whether the application of incremental borrowing rates is consistent with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards
-
● For a sample of lease agreements, performed a recalculation of RoU assets and lease liabilities
-
Considered whether all lease contracts were included in the Group’s calculation of the RoU asset and the Lease liability by considering whether all known warehouse and store locations were included in the calculation
-
Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures in notes 3, 13 and 19 in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express an opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
