Review of operations
Cluey is an ASX-listed Edtech company that combines education and technology to deliver quality education outcomes and an enhanced student experience. Cluey provides curriculum-aligned academic support for students in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, Cluey delivers co/extracurricular online, holiday camps and after-school programs in Australia and the United Kingdom through its wholly owned subsidiary, Code Camp.
The Group’s mission is to develop an innovative and personalised educational ecosystem that equips students for success in an ever-changing world and builds a community of learners.
In June 2025, the Group had 99 FTE[(1) ] employees (an 8% reduction from 108 FTE employees in June 2024) and 3,000 tutors and instructors during FY25.
(1) Full-time equivalent (‘FTE’) employees include onshore and offshore, permanent full-time, part-time and casual employees
The Group's loss after providing for income tax amounted to $5,537,000 (30 June 2024: $13,435,000).
Underlying EBITDA
The Directors consider earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, non-cash and significant expenses ('Underlying EBITDA') to reflect the core earnings of the Group. Underlying EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards ('AAS') and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for non-cash and significant expenses.
Underlying EBITDA is a key measurement used by the Group to assess and review business performance. Accordingly, the following table provides a reconciliation between statutory loss before income tax and Underlying EBITDA. Underlying EBITDA, which excludes capital raise costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges, and non-cash share-based payments expense, improved by 35% to a $4,004,000 loss (30 June 2024: $6,172,000 loss).

This improvement reflects the Group’s cost-saving measures, automation of internal processes, and organisational redesign, which more than offset revenue declines, as illustrated in the chart below.
==> picture [521 x 326] intentionally omitted <==
The Group's underlying EBITDA performance has improved substantially over the last four years, from a loss of $17,650,000 in FY22 to a loss of $4,004,000 in FY25. This reflects the continued improvement in operating performance as the Company transitioned from cost control and efficiency focus in FY23 and FY24 to driving sustainable revenue growth, positive cash flow, and long-term profitability.

-
Operating and marketing costs: down $4,953,000 (21%)
-
New Students[(2)] : 34,737 up 11%
-

(2) New Students for Cluey Learning and Code Camp are those students who had a session in the period. The PCP was updated to include online Code Camp programs, which were previously insignificant.
-
(3) Variable CAC (customer acquisition costs) per student is a non-IFRS measure used for management purposes, which represents variable acquisition expenditure for a period divided by new students with a session in the same period.

KPIs for the year ended 30 June 2025 vs year ended 30 June 2024
-
34,737 New Students (11% increase on PCP)
-
459,000 Student Sessions delivered (11% decrease on PCP)
-
$25,607,000 in Revenue (15% decrease on PCP)
-
$14,632,000 Gross Profit (16% decrease on PCP) with a Gross Profit Margin of 57.1% (2% decrease on PCP)
-
$180 Variable CAC (CAC) per student (33% improvement on PCP)
Revenue and student session declines in FY25 were driven by:
-
A strategic decision to reduce customer acquisition spending in H1 FY25 to prioritise profitability. This was partially offset in H2 FY25, as the Company increased investment in customer acquisition, returning to growth in New Students. This delivered a 12% increase in New Students in H2 FY25 vs PCP, compared to a 2% contraction in H1 FY25 vs PCP.
-
A shift from higher-revenue tutoring sessions to after-school sessions in Australia and the United Kingdom.
-
Ongoing pressure on household budgets, impacting discretionary spending.
Revenue from services rendered
Consolidated revenue declined 15% from $29,967,000 to $25,607,000 in FY25.
In FY25, the Group changed the way business units are reviewed and managed. The previous Cluey Learning and Code Camp segments are now split into the following segments: Online, Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences, and UK.
Online – Online delivers personalised learning experiences through our online learning platform, allowing students to access tutoring anytime and anywhere. Online offers one-on-one and small-group tutoring sessions for students from Year 2 to Year 12 in Australia and New Zealand across various subjects, including Maths, English, and Sciences.
Schools and Partnerships (‘Schools’) – Schools provides tailored educational solutions including both academic support and co-curricular programs, through partnerships with schools and corporate entities. It offers a range of programs, including after-school programs and in-school tutoring, to school-aged students in Australia.
Events and Experiences (‘Events’) - Events specialises in delivering immersive, out-of-school learning experiences outside the normal rhythms of school terms. It offers holiday camps and tutoring intensives to school-aged students in Australia, which provide focused educational experiences during school holidays.
UK - UK offers holiday camps and after-school programs, tailored to meet the needs of school-aged students in the UK.
Online revenue declined by 21% to $16,604,000 in FY25 primarily due to reduced spending on customer acquisition. Schools revenue declined by 5% to $3,039,000 primarily due to a 7% decline in courses per venue and Events revenue declined by 4% to $4,437,000 primarily due to a 7% reduction in camp venues. The reduction in Schools and Events revenue was driven by changes to the Creative Kids voucher scheme in NSW, which reduced the value of the voucher from $100 to $50 and restricted vouchers to families receiving family tax benefits, resulting in a significant reduction in vouchers. UK revenue grew strongly, increasing 35% to $1,527,000 in FY25 due to a 78% expansion in venues.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes payments to tutors for their services in providing learning support, and payments to instructors, site rental costs and other materials for Code Camp holiday camp and after-school courses. Cost of sales decreased by 12% to $10,975,000 in FY25 compared to PCP, primarily due to the reduction in sessions and revenue.
Gross Profit for the period was $14,632,000, a 16% decline on PCP. In FY25, the Gross Profit margin declined by 2% to 57.1% from 58.3% primarily due to an increase in average tutor/instructor costs, lower average online session revenue due to increase in uptake of lower priced, higher commitment pricing plans and a slight reduction in the average class size in holiday camps and after-school.
Segment contribution
Online gross profit declined 22% in FY25, in line with the 21% decline in revenue. Online contribution of $3,546,000 however only declined 2% in FY25, due to a significant reduction in direct marketing costs (~40%) and direct employment costs through improved efficiency in service operations.
Schools gross profit declined 5% in FY25, in line with the 5% decline in revenue. Schools contribution of $555,000 however improved 13% in FY25, due to a reduction in sales employment costs.

Cluey Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Events gross profit declined 9% in FY25, partially due to the 4% decline in revenue. Events contribution of $1,279,000 however improved 33% in FY25, due to a reduction in direct marketing costs (~23%) and direct employment costs through improved efficiency in service operations.
UK gross profit improved 44% in FY25, in line with the 35% increase in revenue. UK contribution of $421,000 improved 258% in FY25, as direct employment costs declined 5%.
Operating expenses
Improved operating leverage achieved in FY23 and FY24 has continued in FY25 due to continued focus on cost control.
Direct marketing expenses of $3,639,000 were 37% lower than in FY24 and represented 14% of revenue, down from 19% in FY24. Direct marketing costs were intentionally reduced as part of the strategic decision to reduce customer acquisition to prioritise profitability in H1 FY25.
In FY25, employee benefits expenses (excluding share-based payment expense of $383,000 and restructuring payments of $97,000) decreased by 11% to $11,998,000 from $13,478,000 in FY24. In FY25, employee benefits expense represented 47% of revenue, compared to 45% in FY24.
Administration costs of $2,999,000 (excluding depreciation and amortisation of $1,083,000 and capital raise costs of $58,000) were 32% lower than in FY24, mainly due to lower software and hosting licence fees, and lower professional fees.
Business strategies, likely developments and expected results of operations
Cluey is focused on opportunities to expand its offerings, including new courses, a wider range of learning services, multiple service configurations, and extension into other education segments. Cluey is committed to making a positive difference to school children’s educational outcomes and attitudes to learning.
During FY26, the Group will continue to build a portfolio of learning services, building on its reputation as a trusted destination for school-age students and their parents by:
-
extending Cluey’s products and services, leveraging its technology and platform advantages
-
scaling co/extracurricular offerings
-
implementing data-driven decision-making and learning analytics supported by generative AI
-
maintaining financial discipline
The Company expects the cash balance of $4,673,000 (as at June 2025) to fund working capital requirements as Cluey drives towards achieving profitability. If there are any M&A or additional growth opportunities, the Company will likely require additional funding.

As part of its risk management framework the Group continues to monitor its exposure to risk, including climate related risk and related regulatory reporting requirements.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The remuneration report has been prepared for the year to 30 June 2025.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all Directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
Details of remuneration
-
Service agreements
-
Share-based compensation
-
Additional information
-
Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered noting that Cluey is in the pre-profitability phase and has a corporate objective to achieve positive operational cashflow. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
-
competitiveness and reasonableness
-
acceptability to shareholders
-
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
-
transparency
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its Directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its Directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel whilst achieving the strategic and corporate objectives.
The Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board believes it should enhance shareholders' interests by:
-
having economic profit as a core component of plan design
-
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder value, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
-
● attracting and retaining high calibre executives
Additionally, the reward framework should enhance executives' interests by:
-
balancing pre-profitability risk and the need to preserve cash
-
rewarding capability and experience
-
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
-
providing a clear structure for earning rewards
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive Director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive Directors' remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments will be reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of their own remuneration. Non-executive Directors do not receive share options or other incentives.

Cluey Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive Directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was made prior to listing and detailed in the Prospectus dated 23 October 2020. The shareholder (pre-listing) approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000 for non-executive Directors.
Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
short-term performance incentives
-
long-term incentives
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include growth, monetisation, engagement and business sustainability.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. Options and Performance Rights are awarded to executives as part of the Omnibus Incentive Scheme. Options granted vest over a period of two years based on service conditions. Performance rights granted vest on the achievement of long-term incentive measures. These include achieving positive operational cashflow. The Remuneration Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the period ended 30 June 2025. While the Company remains in a net operating cash outflow position, the Remuneration Committee has agreed that Executive remuneration should be weighted more toward remuneration which includes non-cash LTI.
Group performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Group through the STI program. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined revenue and gross profit measures being met. The Remuneration Committee also has the discretion to settle bonus and incentive payments through the issue of equity instruments (such as shares or options) and / or the repayment of existing loans associated with Treasury shares. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the Group's earnings.
Use of remuneration consultants
The Group has not engaged any remuneration consultants during the year.
Voting and comments made at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') At the 7 November 2024 AGM, 99.96% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2024. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

(1) On 21 November 2023, the performance rights granted in May and November 2021, underwent an accounting modification in which new performance rights were granted to the performance rights holders, and holders could only exercise the new performance rights by giving up their right to exercise the May and November 2021 performance rights. The new performance rights with the exercise price of $nil were granted when the market price of the underlying equity instrument was $0.08.
(2) KPI 1 Milestone was the First positive financial quarterly operating cashflow result
(3) KPI 2 Milestone was the First positive financial year operating cashflow result
(4) Milestone is the First positive financial year operating cashflow result
Performance rights granted carry no dividend or voting rights.
All performance rights were granted over unissued fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The number of performance rights granted was determined having regard to the satisfaction of performance measures as described above in the section 'Group performance and link to remuneration'. Performance rights vest based on the achievement of KPIs outlined in the terms of the grant whereby the executive becomes beneficially entitled to the performance right on the date the KPI is determined to have been achieved. Performance rights are exercisable by the holder as from the vesting date. There has not been any alteration to the terms or conditions of the grants currently on issue since the grant date. There are no amounts paid or payable by the recipient in relation to the granting of such performance rights, and no exercise price payable on their potential exercise.

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

Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Cluey Ltd as a consolidated entity consisting of Cluey Ltd ('Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (collectively referred to as the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
Cluey Ltd is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Suite 2, Level 2 117 Clarence Street Sydney NSW 2000
A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 28 August 2025. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the Group are set out below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group 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. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standard is most relevant to the Group:
AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current The standard makes amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of AASB 101 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
-
What is meant by a right to defer settlement;
-
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period;
-
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; and
-
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
The Group applied the amendments from 1 July 2024 and they were applied retrospectively. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group.
Going concern
The Group has prepared the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group incurred a loss of $5,537,000 (30 June 2024: loss of $13,435,000), had a net outflow of cash from operating activities of $3,143,000 (30 June 2024: $8,417,000), and had net current liabilities of $1,037,000 (30 June 2024: net current liabilities of $275,000). Included in net current liabilities are contract liabilities (being deferred revenue at the end of the period which is expected to be realised within 3 months of the end of the period) of $3,116,000 at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: $2,692,000). Excluding contract liabilities, the Group has net current assets of $2,079,000 (30 June 2024: $2,417,000).
The Directors have considered the Group’s current financial position and approved forecasts through to August 2026, which indicate that the Group will continue to maintain a positive cash balance over the forecast period.

Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The factors considered by the Directors include the following:
-
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had cash balances of $4,673,000 and a net asset position of $3,970,000;
-
On 21 August 2024, the Group raised $4,338,000 (net of transaction costs) through a non-renounceable entitlement offer;

This is expected to deliver an additional ~$500,000 - $700,000 in cash and deferred revenue in December 2025 compared to December 2024.

Management has implemented initiatives to improve the student/tutor experience which are expected to improve student retention and increase the number of sessions delivered over time;
-
Management has implemented a range of cost reduction initiatives that have and will continue delivering ongoing cost savings for the Group resulting in the Group reducing its average net operating cash outflows (including capitalised development costs, shown in investing cash outflows) from $823,000 average per month in FY24 to $318,000 average per month in FY25; and
-
In Q4 FY25 the Group delivered its first positive cash flow result from operating and investing activities of $341,000, excluding the impact of capital raises.
Based on the above factors, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, as they believe the Group will continue to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due from existing cash balances and cash flows from operations for at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of these financial statements.
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 Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
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 Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 26.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2025 and the results of the Group for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. 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 Group.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The acquisition of common control subsidiaries is accounted for using the common control method, which are scoped out of AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ and therefore a suitable accounting policy needs to be adopted in accordance with the hierarchy in AASB 108 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’. This hierarchy requires the adoption of a policy that provides users of the financial statements with relevant and reliable information about the financial position and performance of the reporting entity. The policy adopted for common control business combinations is the pooling of interest method. This method requires the combination to be recorded at carrying value at the date of acquisition, no goodwill to be recognised and the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the carrying value of the assets and liabilities to be recorded as a group reorganisation reserve.
The acquisition of other 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.
Where the Group 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 Group 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.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cluey Ltd's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company's functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
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 of.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: 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.
Rendering of services
Revenue for tuition and other learning support services is recognised at a point in time, being the date the service (i.e., the session) is provided. Payments from customers are received prior to services being delivered. Fees received in advance are recognised as contract liabilities.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Income tax
Cluey Ltd (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
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 Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 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 12 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 Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Intangible assets
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.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.
On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Brand name
Brand name acquired in a business combination is not amortised on the basis that it has an indefinite life. Management considers that the useful life of brand name is indefinite because there is no foreseeable limit to the cash flows this asset can generate. This is reassessed every year. Instead, it 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.
Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 3 years. Software acquired in a business combination is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. It has a finite useful life and is subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Capitalisation of Platform and Content development costs
Platform intangible assets arise from costs associated with the development of Cluey's learning platform and products, and Customer and Tutor Hub platforms. Content intangible assets arise from the development of written or recorded content for lessons. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development of Platform and Content is recognised if, and only if, all of the following conditions have been demonstrated:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use. This includes internal labour costs. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
34
Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The amortisation period for development costs incurred on the Group’s content development is 3 years, and for the Group’s platform development is 2 years.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Impairment of non-financial 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 nonfinancial 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.
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.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group 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 days of recognition.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.
Employee benefits
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 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 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. 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 high-quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, options or performance rights over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option or performance right, 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 or performance right, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment.
35
Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the members of Cluey Ltd, 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.
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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
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.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Comparatives
Certain comparatives in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been reclassified to align with current year disclosure. There was no change to reported loss for the comparative period due to any reclassification.
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.
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 Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2025. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.
AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard replaces AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements', although many of the requirements have been carried forward unchanged and is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in AASB 107 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’. The standard will affect presentation and disclosure in the financial statements, including introducing five categories in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The standard introduces two mandatory sub-totals in the statement: 'Operating profit' and 'Profit before financing and income taxes'. There are also new disclosure requirements for 'management-defined performance measures', such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') or 'adjusted profit'. The standard provides enhanced guidance on grouping of information (aggregation and disaggregation), including whether to present this information in the primary financial statements or in the notes. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2027 and it is expected that there will be a significant change to the layout of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Note 3. 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 (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group 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 stated in note 2. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are allocated to CGUs based on their relative recoverable amounts determined using value-in-use 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. Refer disclosure in note 12 for key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model for the Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and UK CGUs.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
During the current financial year, the Group changed its operating segments from two, being the Cluey Learning segment and the Code Camp segment, to four operating segments, being Online, Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and UK. The segments provide learning support to school-aged students and operate in online and face-to-face learning environments. The change was based on a change in the way the Group collects and reports financial information.
37
Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Note 4. Operating segments (continued)
This assessment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Executive Management team (including the joint-CEO's), who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'), in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
Segment results
The CODM reviews Segment contribution (a non-IFRS measure used by management and represents Revenue, less cost of sales, less directly attributable costs for each segment), Group indirect and corporate costs, and Group Underlying EBITDA. The segment results have been reconciled to the Group’s loss before tax as presented in its financial statements in the tables below.
The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
Types of products and services
The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:
Online Online delivers personalised learning experiences through our online learning platform, allowing students to access tutoring anytime and anywhere. Online offers one-on-one and small-group tutoring sessions for students from Year 2 to Year 12 in Australia and New Zealand across various subjects, including Maths, English, and Sciences. Schools and Partnerships Schools provides tailored educational solutions including both academic support and cocurricular programs, through partnerships with schools and corporate entities. It offers a range of programs, including after-school programs and in-school tutoring, to school-aged students in Australia. Events and Experiences Events specialises in delivering immersive, out-of-school learning experiences outside the normal rhythms of school terms. It offers holiday camps and tutoring intensives to schoolaged students in Australia, which provide focused educational experiences during school holidays. UK UK offers holiday camps and after-school programs, tailored to meet the needs of schoolaged students in the UK.

Note 12. Intangible assets (continued)
Impairment testing
During the year, the Group has reviewed the cash-generating units ('CGU') and has identified the following four CGUs: Online, Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and United Kingdom ('UK'). The CGUs are aligned to the revised reporting segments in note 4. Previously, the Group had two CGUs being Cluey Learning and Code Camp.
The goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets (brand name) previously acquired through the Code Camp business combination has been allocated to the new CGU’s based on their relative recoverable amounts as follows:
| Code Camp Schools and Partnerships Events and Experiences UK Total |
Group 2025 2024 $'000 $'000 - 4,500 887 - 2,124 - 1,489 - |
Group 2025 2024 $'000 $'000 - 4,500 887 - 2,124 - 1,489 - |
|---|---|---|
| 4,500 | 4,500 |
Of the $4,500,000 indefinite life intangible assets allocated to the Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and UK CGU’s, $3,768,000 relates to goodwill.
The recoverable amount of the Group's goodwill and brand name intangible assets has been determined by value in-use calculations using discounted cash flow models prepared for each CGU. Each model is based on FY26 Board approved budgets, plus a four-year projection period approved by management, together with a terminal value.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive.
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow models for each of the Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and UK CGUs:
-
22% pre-tax discount rate;
-
Growth in revenue, cost of sales and expenses based on forecasted new, continuing and returning students and sessions. Session growth is forecast at 5% in FY26 for Schools and Partnerships, 14% in FY26 for Events and Experiences, and 50% in FY26 for UK, with key assumptions including the number of locations, enrolments and pricing; and
-
2.5% terminal growth rate.
The discount rate of 22% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the Group’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for these CGUs, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements.
There were no other key assumptions for the Schools and Partnerships, Events and Experiences and UK CGUs. Based on the above, the recoverable amount of each CGU exceeds the carrying value, and no impairment loss has been recognised.

Note 12. Intangible assets (continued)
Sensitivity
The Directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill and brand name intangible assets. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill and brand name carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows:
-
The pre-tax discount rate would be required to increase by the following amounts, before goodwill or brand name would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant:
-
Schools and Partnerships – 15% increase in pre-tax discount rate
-
Events and Experiences - 5% increase in pre-tax discount rate
-
UK – 13% increase in pre-tax discount rate
-
The forecast is sensitive to changes in revenue and cost of sales which are inter-related. If session forecasts are not achieved by the following amounts, the recoverable amount would be equal to the carrying value, assuming no change in forecast direct or indirect operating expenses:
-
Schools and Partnerships – 3% lower compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') in sessions over the forecast period
-
Events and Experiences - 2% lower CAGR in sessions over the forecast period
-
UK – 3% lower CAGR in sessions over the forecast period

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in any dividends declared and any proceeds attributable to shareholders should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which those shares are paid up. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are shares held in Employee Share Trust pending settlement of related employee loans and reduce the number of shares on issue for disclosure purposes.
Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2024 Annual Report.

Foreign currency translation reserve
The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations to Australian dollars.
Share-based payments reserve
The reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to employees and Directors as part of their remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services.
Group reorganisation reserve
The reserve is used to account for historical capital reorganisations of the Group whereby the assets and liabilities of the acquired party are recorded at their previous book values and no goodwill is recognised. Any difference between the cost of the transaction, being ordinary shares issued at fair value, and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities are recorded directly in this reserve.
Note 19. Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Note 20. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group'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 Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Any risk management required is carried out by the senior finance executives under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a regular basis.
Market risk
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on interest earned on cash in term deposits, which is not considered to be material. The Group does not have any borrowings.
Credit risk
The Group invests its cash with highly reputable financial institutions and has, therefore, no significant risk in this regard. As over 96% of payments from customers are required before services are rendered, the Group has no other significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

Note 20. Financial instruments (continued)
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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 of the current period. These 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.
Carrying value of goodwill and brand name
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| As at 30 June 2025, the Group had a total carrying value of $4,500,000 for goodwill and brand name intangible assets, as disclosed in Note 12 of the financial report. During the financial year, the Group reorganised its Cash Generating Units (‘CGUs’) and operating segments as a result of a change in the way the Group collects and reports financial information to the Chief Operating Decision Makers in accordance with AASB 8_Operating Segments_. The assessment of the carrying value of goodwill and brand name intangible assets was considered a key audit matter due to the significant value of these assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in addition to the key estimates and judgements applied by management in determining the recoverable value of these assets under AASB_136_ Impairment of Assets. |
Our audit procedures for addressing this key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following: • Evaluated and assessed whether management’s operating segments and CGU assessment were in accordance with AASB 8_Operating Segments_and AASB 136_Impairment of Assets_given the change in internal reporting during the year. • Obtained management’s Value In Use (‘VIU’) models and evaluated the key inputs to ensure the assumptions were reasonable and consistent with our understanding of the respective CGUs. • Together with BDO valuation specialists, assessed the reasonableness of the discount rates applied by management. • Assessed the accuracy of management’s historical forecasting and the integrity of the internal budgeting process. • Performed sensitivity analysis on the key inputs applied to the VIU models to assess the impact that reasonable changes in the assumptions would make to the recoverable value of the CGU. • Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included within the financial statements against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. |
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors’ Report (excluding the audited Remuneration Report section) for
63
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
the year ended 30 June 2025, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report to the Shareholders, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above 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 Annual Report to the Shareholders, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.

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 this financial report.
