It also includes the elimination of intercompany sales. Unallocated costs decreased from $7.0M in H1 FY18 to $6.7M in H1 FY19.

Bapcor Limited Directors' report 31 December 2018

Financial Position - Capital Raising and Debt

In September 2018, Bapcor issued 830,414 shares to participating shareholders under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in respect of the FY18 final dividend. In December 2018, Bapcor issued 1,396,952 shares as part consideration for the Commercial Truck Parts acquisition. As a result of these issues, ordinary shares on issue increased from 280,244,752 as at 30 June 2018 to 282,472,118 as at 31 December 2018.

Net debt at 31 December 2018 was $350.9M representing a leverage ratio of 2.1X (Net Debt : last twelve months EBITDA).

Likely development and expected results of operations

Bapcor is forecasting FY19 pro-forma NPAT of circa 9% above FY18, which will deliver a record full year result in revenue, earnings and earnings per share. Whilst being at the lower end of previous guidance, this reflects the market conditions that Bapcor is experiencing resulting from a general decline in consumer confidence, falling housing prices, share market performance and political uncertainty as well as increased competition.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year

In January 2019, Bapcor completed the acquisition of the business of Toperformance Products for a consideration of $2.5M. Toperformance Products is the exclusive distributor of Koni shock absorbers for truck, bus, vehicle, 4WD and motorsport applications in Australia.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2018 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.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2018

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

This consolidated financial report for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

This half-year financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the adoption of new amended standards as set out below.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted the following new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period commencing 1 July 2018, as per below.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. Refer to note 3 for further details.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduces a five step model to determine the quantum and timing of revenue:

  • 1) Identify whether a contract exists

  • 2) Identify the explicit and implicit promises in the contract to deliver goods and/or services to a customer (performance obligations)

  • 3) Determine the transaction price payable by the customer

  • 4) Determine how to allocate the transaction price to the goods and/or services

  • 5) Determine when to recognise revenue based on when ‘control’ over the goods and/or service transfers to a customer.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

16

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2018

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 Leases and will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, as asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and has implemented an external lease solution to consolidate the required leasing information in order to perform quantification of this change which is still underway. Given the number of operating leases in relation to warehouse and stores that the consolidated entity has in place, it is expected that this change will have a material impact on the balance sheet in particular via the recognition of the respective right-of-use asset and corresponding liability as well as the income statement. The consolidated entity will continue to work through the assessment of the quantification of this change and the impact of its adoption.

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 are as disclosed in the 30 June 2018 financial statements.

Note 3. Adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018, using the full retrospective method of adoption. No changes from the classification and measurement for financial assets were identified and the impact for changes to incorporate an expected credit losses method was not significant hence no comparatives have been restated.

The foreign currency forwards and interest rate swaps in place as at 30 June 2018 qualified as cash flow hedges under AASB 9. The consolidated entity's risk management strategies and hedge documentation are aligned with the requirements of AASB 9 and these relationships are therefore treated as continuing hedges.

The changes to accounting policy in relation to the adoption of this standard as applied from 1 July 2018 are set out below.

Trade and other receivables

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.

17

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2018

Note 3. Adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

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.

Adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018, using the retrospective method of adoption. On adoption of the standard, the consolidated entity reviewed the potential performance obligations under its revenue contract. As the majority of the consolidated entity's revenue is derived from over the counter sale of goods the adoption of this standard did not have a financial impact hence no comparatives have been restated.

The changes to accounting policy in relation to the adoption of this standard as applied from 1 July 2018 are set out below.

Revenue

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 the provision of franchise and service fees are recognised over time as the services are rendered.

Note 4. Operating segments

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:

18

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2018

Note 4. Operating segments (continued)

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, Don Kyatt Spare Parts (Qld), He Knows Truck Parts, I Know Parts
and Wrecking, Commercial Parts and Commercial Spares.
Retail & Service 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.

Deferred settlements movement

During the half-year ended 31 December 2018, 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 has been presented in the statement of comprehensive income as 'Other gains'. The final deferred settlement for the Precision acquisition and the first part of the deferred settlements for the Tricor acquisition were also completed. These payments were offset by the recognition of the $15,000,000 deferred settlement provision as part of the Commercial Truck Parts acquisition (refer note 20).

  • franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date

  • franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date

Note 17. 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 are excluded from the calculation of net tangible assets per share.

Net tangible assets per share at 31 December 2018 was (21.1) cents per share (30 June 2018: (19.0) cents per share).

Net assets per share at 31 December 2018 was $2.36 (30 June 2018: $2.25) per share.

Note 18. 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.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial half-year.

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 consideration is 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.

Note 19. Contingent liabilities

There are no contingent liabilities (30 June 2018: nil).

The divestment of the non-core businesses of Footwear and Contract Resources performed in the prior financial year as well as TRS in the current financial period includes standard indemnity and warranty clauses as is customary in these type of transactions.

Bapcor Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2018

Note 20. Business combinations (continued)

Goodwill in relation to these acquisitions relates to the anticipated future probability of their contribution to the consolidated entity's total business.

The Commercial Truck Parts acquisition contributed revenue of $2,291,000 and net profit after tax of $169,000 to the consolidated group since acquisition on 30 November 2018. Based on management results that have not been reviewed or audited, the contribution to revenue and net profit after tax if the Commercial Truck Parts acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2018 is estimated to have been $18,640,000 and $2,930,000 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.

Refer to note 6 for details on acquisition related costs incurred.

Deferred consideration

A deferred consideration has been estimated and provided for on the Commercial Truck Parts acquisition and is accrued at $15,000,000 as at 31 December 2018 and is payable 30 November 2019.

Prior financial half-year acquisitions

No material changes have occurred to the prior financial half-year acquisitions.

Note 21. Events after the reporting period

In January 2019, Bapcor completed the acquisition of the business of Toperformance Products for a consideration of $2.5M. Toperformance Products is the exclusive distributor of Koni shock absorbers for truck, bus, vehicle, 4WD and motorsport applications in Australia.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2018 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.

Note 22. 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 30 June 2018 audited Remuneration Report within the Directors' Report for further information on the LTI.

In relation to the FY19 year an offer to participate in the LTI was made to seven of Bapcor's senior executives. These allocated Performance Rights have a performance period that ends on 30 June 2021 at which time the performance hurdles are tested.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Bapcor Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Bapcor Limited (the Company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for Bapcor Limited. The Group comprises the Company and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Bapcor Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
