Chairman’s Report

The 2021 financial year was certainly one none of us will forget in a hurry. Like so many businesses, Coventry faced severe macroeconomic and community uncertainty as Government imposed lockdowns and restrictions across Australia and New Zealand forced radical change to business operations and, more generally, our way of life. This has been enormously challenging for our management team, led by our CEO and Managing Director Robert Bulluss, and I unreservedly commend he and his team for their leadership, flexibility, commitment and resilience in meeting and overcoming the challenges put in their path. The human toll of the pandemic we are all living through is difficult to measure but I can confidently say the health and safety of our colleagues throughout the business, our customers who rely on our products and services and all other stakeholders, has been and continues to be one of our top priorities.

Despite the extraordinary challenges of the period, the Group continued to improve its financial performance in 2021. Most parts of our business performed well in somewhat surprisingly buoyant and resilient markets despite considerable operational disruption and uncertainty. All had revenue and contribution growth year on year. Both acquisitions made during the period, H.I.S. Hose in Victoria and Fluid Power Services in Tasmania, are performing to expectations, are integrating well and have been earnings accretive.

I’m pleased to call out the results from our Australian Konnect and Artia network which has improved considerably after years of substantial losses. It has produced a small positive contribution to the Group result in 2021, which is a $3m improvement on the previous period. This does not mean “job done” at Konnect and Artia Australia but after years of turnaround work, its vastly improved value proposition is being recognised by an expanding and loyal customer base. Getting back to profitability is the first financial stage gate and we believe we have the strategy to continue to grow the contribution from this material and once very profitable part of the business.

For the last time I will reference what we at Coventry have referred to as our base year of 2017. In May 2017 we made the pivotal appointment of our CEO and Managing Director and it is he who has led the revitalising of the Group. In 2021, sales of $288.5m and an underlying EBITDA of $13.4m represents a substantial turnaround from 2017, a year which marked a low point in the Group’s financial performance with sales from continuing operations sinking to $151m and a statutory loss after tax of $37.7m. Underlying EBITDA of $13.4m in 2021 is a $6.8m (100%) improvement on 2020.

Fluid Systems had record financial results in 2021. Fluid Systems has an excellent reputation in the markets in which it operates and continues to be well led with a professional, stable and experienced team. Torque Industries, acquired in 2018, traded strongly and we are very pleased with its contribution. We continue to consider emerging acquisition opportunities in the markets in which Fluid Systems operate.

Trade Distribution comprises our Australian and New Zealand network of Konnect, Artia and Nubco branches, which are serviced by a number of distribution centres. In addition, we have a growing digital presence which the CEO and Managing Director will talk to in his report.

Our New Zealand network continues to be well led by a stable and experienced team which has dealt with COVID uncertainty and emerging supply chain issues with measured and considered professionalism. Contribution was up on last year on solid sales improvement.

Our Australian Nubco network (acquired in 2019) recorded strong sales and contribution growth for the year. It has been a great fit for the Group and, under new leadership, has produced record results.

In all our Trade Distribution networks opportunities for greenfield and acquisition growth exists. Our challenge is to action the most compelling opportunities within the constraints of prudent capital management.

I am delighted to advise we have had considerable success in the past six months in sub-letting major parts of our Redcliffe, Perth property, with its single term of 20 years expiring in December 2027. This legacy property arrangement has been a great financial burden for many years however the current tenancy profile is the best it has been for some time.

The Group continues to have a strong working capital position with Current Assets exceeding Current Liabilities by $33.5m and net debt at financial year end of $16.3m. The Group has substantial Australian tax losses of $77.3m against which a Deferred Tax Asset of $18.1m has been recognised in its Statement of Financial Position.

We are very pleased to now be partnering with the National Australia Bank (NAB) and, during the period, entered into a new threeyear financing arrangement. The NAB financing agreement provides a holistic banking offering which includes a three year $45m Borrowing Base Facility against eligible inventory and debtors and a $5m Standby Letter of Credit to provide security for Transactional Banking, Bank Guarantees, FX, and any other transactional facilities required by Coventry Group.

The Company Executive and Director Incentive Plan provides for the granting or issuing of performance rights to eligible Executives in accordance with its terms and subject to the terms and performance hurdles set by the Board. The CEO and Managing Director’s total remuneration includes a Plan award and, as required by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will seek shareholder approval to grant him Performance Rights for his participation in the Plan for 2022. Full particulars will be published in the Notice of Annual General Meeting for the meeting to be held on 22 October 2021.

Given improving financial results, the Board has determined that we are able to recommence dividend payments with a final dividend of 3 cents per share fully franked. The Company has updated and reinstated its Dividend Reinvestment Plan to enable eligible shareholders to reinvest their dividend in additional shares in the Company.

4

I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their contribution to the improving fortunes of the Company. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our colleagues throughout the business for their commitment to the business and its values and for their part in helping to deliver improved financial results in FY21. To our shareholders, a special thanks for their ongoing support of Coventry Group.

Outlook

Our best view of 2022, is that the momentum the Group currently has, will largely continue, that we continue to deliver well on tactical plans aligned with our strategy and that the markets in which we operate remain buoyant. However, given continuing macroeconomic and social COVID-19 related disruption and uncertainty, we will not be providing full year guidance but will continue to provide quarterly trading updates to the market.

Neil G. Cathie Chairman of the Board of Directors

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

We are pleased to report that Coventry Group’s sales and EBITDA performance improved for a fourth consecutive year. The Group has produced an EBITDA turnaround of $23.1m in four years despite the many challenges faced during this time. The FY21 result has been achieved against the on-going backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic which has presented us with human resource, supply chain, operational and customer service challenges. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people and operate in the right markets to continue our journey of sustainable profitable growth. Our consistent delivery of sales growth and improved profit results are proof that our strong value proposition and dedication to our core values deliver results.

I would like to acknowledge the leadership provided by the Coventry Leadership Team (CLT) and the efforts, skill and resilience of our people in executing our strategy. This has been a difficult year for everyone from a personal and business perspective, yet our people who are central to the success of the Group, continue to improve the business and deliver strong results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been ever present during the year. Our business model has been adapted to manage lockdowns and restrictions as they occur. Global supply chain issues, stock shortages, cost increases (particularly in steel related products) and increased overseas freight costs are being managed to minimise the impact on our customers. We are operating the Group as close as possible to business as usual.

The Group has continued to prioritise the health, safety and well-being of our people along with our customers, suppliers and communities. During FY21, we launched our new Safety 1st awareness program. Our aspiration is for zero LTI’s and zero impact on our people. We had 7 Lost Time Injuries (LTI’s) down from 13 in the previous year. All incidents and serious near misses are reviewed by our safety team and the CLT to ensure we share lessons and improve safety systems. During the year we have appointed additional experienced safety professionals to improve health, safety and well-being outcomes and adapt to the changing environment we work and live in.

During the year we refreshed our vision and values of Fairness, Integrity, Respect, Safety and Teamwork (FIRST). We live our values and do the right thing in all our dealings with our people, customers and suppliers. Despite a competitive recruitment market, our reputation for having a values-based culture is attracting quality people into the organisation. Our employee retention and engagement results continued to improve during the year. A recent employee engagement survey revealed we have 84% of our people actively engaged and only 1% disengaged.

Our strong sales growth results across all business units are evidence that our customer service levels continue to improve. We provide customer service excellence through quality products, stock availability, expertise, agility and our geographic coverage. Each business unit is building their traditional customer base as well as winning customers in new markets. Our capability continues to grow in the infrastructure and construction markets.

Fluid Systems (FS), which comprises our Cooper Fluid Systems (CFS), Torque Industries (Torque), H.I.S. Hose (HIS) and Fluid Power Services (FPS) businesses delivered another excellent result. FS designs, manufactures, sells and services hydraulics, lubrication, fire suppression and refuelling systems and products through 16 branches across Australia. FS had strong sales and EBITDA growth, integrated the Torque business, completed the acquisitions of HIS and FPS and opened a new branch in Port Hedland. FS are positioned for further growth in coming years as we expect their core markets of mining and resources, defence and agriculture to perform well.

Trade Distribution (TD) comprises our network of Konnect and Artia Australia (KAA), Konnect and Artia New Zealand (KANZ) and Nubco branches. TD supplies a range of fastening systems, cabinet hardware systems and industrial and construction products through a network of 65 branches.

KANZ had another positive year despite real challenges in the last quarter, which was impacted by global supply chain issues. KANZ delivered positive sales and EBITDA growth. The opening of a new branch in Invercargill late in FY21 takes our branch footprint to 16. Our markets in New Zealand are performing well.

Significant achievements over the last four years

• Sales growth of $137.5m from $151.0m to $288.5m.

• EBITDA growth from a loss of -$9.7m to $13.4m and EBITDA % from -6.4% to 4.6%

• KAA returned to profit after 10+ years of losses

• Transformed the culture in the Group based on our core values

• Completed four acquisitions – Torque Industries, Nubco, H.I.S. Hose and Fluid Power Systems

• Divested the AA Gaskets business

• Navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and cyber-attack in 2018

• Secured banking arrangements with the NAB

FY21 was a breakthrough year for KAA returning a small profit for the first time in over ten years. We now have the platform to continue to build KAA on its journey of sustainable profitable growth. During the last quarter we transitioned Chris Smith (previously Regional Manager – Queensland) into the General Manager role following a comprehensive handover from Peter Shaw who is retiring. I would like to thank Peter for his considerable contribution to the turnaround in KAA. His leadership has been critical as we have negotiated the COVID-19 situation and he has been instrumental in returning KAA to a profit and to the overall results of the Group.

Nubco delivered very strong sales and EBITDA growth. Nubco has been an excellent acquisition for the Group exceeding expectations in FY21. The Tasmanian economy is robust and despite supply chain challenges and steel shortages, we are confident we can continue to grow in this market.

Our Sustainability pillars of Health and Safety, People, Community, Environment and Government completed many initiatives throughout the FY21 year. We implemented the ‘Safety 1st‘ culture into the business with dedicated HSE personnel in each of the businesses. Our People workstream presented long service awards, conducted annual performance reviews and awarded several CEO recognition awards. We developed Workplace Giving and Matched Giving charity programs within our Community workstream and from an Environmental perspective, we began the research to obtain our baseline of waste data and our carbon footprint. Our Governance workstream completed quarterly risk reviews and published our first Modern Slavery Statement.

Our Digital Customer Engagement (DCE) project to deliver on-line and mobility solutions for customers, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and a user-friendly Point of Sale (POS) module has continued. During the year our Artia internet ordering sites went live and we are in the process of launching our Konnect internet ordering sites. Sales from our on-line channel are increasing and will accelerate as the project roll out continues and our digital marketing capability grows.

The IT team led by Ken Lam worked on numerous projects during the year including the move to cloud-based systems enabling closure of the costly data centres, the DCE project, integration of acquisition systems and networks, enhancing legacy computer systems and supporting many other business improvement projects. The team is constantly working on ensuring our security systems are updated to manage the ever-present cyber security risk and to ensure our teams can operate remotely safely and effectively.

The capability of our central services teams (Finance, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and Payroll) has improved despite the need for the teams to operate from home for the majority of the year. The team is working on many projects to improve the productivity and efficiency of the team and business. The Accounts Receivable team continued to deliver outstanding collection performance.

Our market leading businesses, FS, Nubco and KANZ, are well placed to continue to grow and perform well. KAA has the building blocks in place for another year of sales and profit growth. We remain confident that our strategy for KAA will deliver a market leading specialist fastener distribution business. The future is not without challenges with COVID19 ever present, global supply chain issues and material shortages, competition for labour and cost inflation all requiring significant management attention. The resilience of our people has been outstanding and we are confident that they will continue to successfully navigate the headwinds we are faced with.

We remain fully focussed on our People, Customers and our Suppliers, and applying our values of Fairness, Integrity, Respect, Safety and Teamwork.

COVID-19

All business units are operating with COVID-safe plans. We are well prepared to respond to any localised restrictions and lockdowns. The business is managing the implications of the pandemic including:

• The lockdown and temporary shutdown of parts of our operations and markets.

• Supply chain issues resulting from shipping constraints and raw material shortages due to global demand. Shipping constraints are the result of a lack of shipping space and container availability, port congestion, industrial action and technology issues at Auckland’s port.

• Cost increases due to rises in the cost of raw materials and stock shortages, particularly with steel related products.

• The impact on the health and well-being of our people resulting from the restrictions and lockdowns.

Our number one priority is always the health and safety of our people and their families.

Business Performance

Trading performance improved during FY21 with the Group delivering underlying profitability growth for both EBITDA and EBIT. We are pleased to deliver an improved result without COVID-19 related assistance from the Australian and New Zealand Governments.

Group sales growth for FY21 including acquisitions of 16.5% and excluding acquisitions of 13.6% on the prior year. Group sales including acquisitions at $288.5m ($247.6m FY20). Group underlying EBITDA of $13.4m ($6.6m FY20), a $6.8m improvement year on year. Group underlying EBIT of $10.6m ($4m FY20). Reported net profit for the year of $7.2m (Net loss -$0.5m FY20).

The Group has a solid balance sheet with Net Assets of $109.8m and Net Tangible Assets of $36.8m as at 30 June 2021. At 30 June 2021 the Group had net debt of $16.3m.

Performance by Division

Fluid Systems

Fluid Systems (FS), led by Bruce Carter and his leadership team, have had another excellent year with strong sales and EBITDA growth in Cooper Fluid Systems (CFS) and Torque Industries. The H.I.S. Hose and Fluid Power Services businesses acquired during the year have performed to expectations and are excellent additions to the business.

FS had full year sales growth of 24.1% including acquisitions on the prior year and 16.4% excluding acquisitions on the prior year. The result included a large $7.9m order that was the culmination of a number of years of work. Sales growth is being driven by our customer value proposition, ability to win major contracts, market leading position in mining and resources and diversification into agriculture, defence, transport and recycling markets. Underlying EBITDA in FY21 of $13.8m compared to $10.3m in FY20.

During the year we opened a new branch in Port Hedland and relocated the H.I.S. Hose Dandenong branch.

We are cautiously optimistic about further growth in FS in FY22 as a result of the strong mining and resources sector, our ability to increase market share through our value proposition, expansion of our product and service offering, expanding our hydraulics capabilities and further diversification into sectors outside of the mining and resources sector. FS’s suppliers are facing supply chain issues and raw material shortages which we need to manage carefully. As FS has demonstrated through various cycles, it has the capability to scale according to prevailing market conditions.

We are actively looking for further acquisitions that meet our criteria.

Trade Distribution (TD)

TD sales for the year were up 11.8% on the prior year. The underlying EBITDA for TD was $11.7m compared to $6.7m in FY20.

Konnect and Artia New Zealand (KANZ)

KANZ had a solid year of sales and profit growth. Led by Mike Wansink and the KANZ leadership team the business has continued to grow in its traditional markets and expand our presence in the construction market. The last quarter of the year has seen the business impacted by supply chain issues and stock shortages in some key lines. We expect this to continue in the first half of FY22 but remain optimistic we will continue to grow sales and profit.

KANZ is the leading fastening systems business in the construction and roofing and cladding markets in New Zealand. Future growth is expected to come from a combination of organic sales growth, store makeovers, on-line sales, the potential for further branches in new locations, the potential for acquisitions and expanding the product range.

Konnect and Artia Australia (KAA)

Whilst it has taken longer than anticipated, we are pleased to announce that after 10 years of significant losses KAA generated a small profit in FY21. Achieving the break-even point was a significant milestone for the business. We are confident that we have the right people, the right strategy and operate in resilient markets to deliver momentum for further sales and profit growth in FY22 and beyond.

8

Key activities in FY22 will include:

• Continuing to improve our value proposition by expanding our range of quality products, continuing to build our supplier relationships, ensuring our stock availability and DIFOT levels in the branch network remain high, increasing the level of expertise in the business through training and development and adapting to providing agile service in the changing business environment.

• Our business development teams will continue to expand our presence in infrastructure projects and major contract and tender opportunities.

• Increasing marketing and promotional activities.

• Opening new stores, store relocations and store makeovers. During the year we opened a branch in Mount Gambier and have plans for a minimum of two additional branches in FY22. A number of stores will either be relocated to better facilities and locations or improved through store makeovers including store merchandising and wider product ranges.

• Reviewing and refining pricing strategies and tools.

• Growing sales through our on-line ordering platforms for Konnect and Artia.

• Sensible cost management to continue.

Nubco

Our network of seven Nubco branches in Tasmania had an excellent year with very strong sales and profit growth. Nick Daw and the leadership team have worked hard to improve business culture based on the Coventry values and this has resulted in improved employee retention and engagement results. Safety systems have been improved with only one LTI for the year compared to seven in FY20.

Nubco is currently being impacted by steel shortages and cost increases. The leadership team are spending a significant amount of time minimising the impact on our customers and the business. Despite this, Nubco is well placed to take advantage of the strong economy in Tasmania.

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs are currently running at 4.7% of sales (4.7% FY20). We expect productivity projects using technology will allow us to reduce corporate cost % to sales in FY22.

As mentioned in the Chairman’s report we are pleased to have secured additional sub tenants for the Redcliffe facility easing the financial burden of the property on the Group. The lease on this property ends on 31 December 2027.

Significant items

The FY21 result was impacted by a number of one-off significant items:

• Share based payments relating to prior years ($0.6m) non-cash

• Borrowing costs ($0.4m)

• Cloud based computing costs required due to change in accounting standard ($0.5m) non-cash

• Restructuring and other costs ($0.8m).

Net Assets/Working Capital

The Group has a solid balance sheet with Net Tangible Assets of $36.8m and Net Assets of $109.8m compared to $100.9m in FY20. Initiatives to reduce working capital and maximise cash generation remain a key focus area for the Group. The Group continues to take action to manage inventory levels, collections and operating costs to improve our cash position.

The Group has tax losses of $77.3m available for use in Australia and franking credits of $11.1m available at balance date.

Net debt position

Net debt of $16.3m at 30 June 2021 (net debt of $3.3m at 30 June 2020).

Net debt was impacted by:

• Acquisition related payments ($7.6m)

• Increasing stock holdings to maintain service levels during FY21 due to global supply chain issues ($5.5m)

• Capital expenditure ($3.5m).

Our priority has been to maintain service levels to our customers. In FY22 we will continue to take action to reduce inventory levels, tightly manage collections and manage operating costs to improve our cash position.

9

Banking arrangements

During the year our CFO, Rod Jackson, successfully negotiated new banking arrangements for the Group.

Coventry Group has entered a new three-year financing arrangement with the National Australia Bank (NAB). The financing agreement provides a holistic banking offering including:

• A three year $45m Borrowing Base Facility against eligible inventory and debtors.

• A $5m Standby Letter of Credit to provide security for Transactional Banking, Bank Guarantees, FX, and any other transactional facilities required by Coventry Group. The intention is for these facilities to transition to the NAB over the next three months.

We are very pleased to be partnering with the NAB.

Outlook

The markets in which FS and TD operate are to date performing well and our view of FY22 is that the momentum the Group currently has will largely continue despite the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain and macroeconomic headwinds we are facing. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people and operate in the right markets to continue our journey of sustainable profitable growth.

I would like to acknowledge the support received from the Board and thank the Coventry Leadership Team and every person in the Group for their contribution during the year. We have faced unique challenges during the year and responded well, particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic which we hope will be a once in a lifetime event.

We remain confident that we will deliver sustainable profitable growth to our shareholders. It is pleasing after many years to deliver a dividend to our shareholders.

Regardless of the challenges we face we will stay true to our values and do the right thing.

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies

Coventry Group Ltd (the “Company”) is a for profit company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 235 Settlement Road Thomastown VIC 3074 Australia. The consolidated financial statements ("financial report" or "consolidated financial report") of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the “Group”).

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 27 August 2021.

(a) Statement of compliance

This financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial report of the Group complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(b) Basis of preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and liabilities (including share-based payments and derivative financial instruments) which are stated at their fair value.

The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016 and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

The Group has consistently applied the accounting policies (as set out in Note 1(d) – 1(u)) to all years presented in this consolidated financial report. Certain prior year figures have been restated to conform with the presentation in the current year.

Going Concern

In preparing the financial report, the Directors have made an assessment of the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of business operations, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due.

(c) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted the IFRIC Agenda Decision on Software-as-a-Service transactions and the impact on the Group has been assessed in Note 29.

The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

• COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16).

• Property, Plant & Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16).

• Reference to Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3).

• Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1).

• IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.

There are no significant new standards or interpretations not yet adopted.

(d) Basis of consolidation

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

• the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

• the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus

• if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

• the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

16

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Basis of consolidation (continued)

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Controlled entities

Controlled entities are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company 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 over the entity. Investments in controlled entities are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company’s financial statements, net of impairment write downs. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

(e) Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the translation reserve in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less at inception date.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on weighted average cost. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads. An impairment allowance is made for obsolete, damaged and slow-moving inventories.

(h) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less loss allowance.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

All classes of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date that they are installed and are ready for use.

The estimated useful lives for each class of asset are:

Class of Fixed Asset - Plant and Equipment	Depreciation Rate
	5% - 40%

17

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(j) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see Note 1(d). Goodwill is not amortised, but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Computer software

Computer software comprises licence costs and direct costs incurred in preparing for the operation of that software, including associated process re-engineering costs. Computer software is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Computer software costs that have been categorised as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangement are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.

In the 2021 financial year the Group changed its accounting policy in relation to SaaS arrangements. Refer to Note 29.

Other intangible assets

Brand names and customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Brand names have an indefinite useful life and are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Customer relationships have a finite useful life and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation

Except for goodwill and brand names, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. In current and comparative periods, computer software was estimated to have a useful life of 3 to 10 years, and customer relationships was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(k) Financial Instruments

Investments and other financial assets

The Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transactions costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its instruments carried at amortised costs and fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contract. The Group has concluded that the expected loss rates of trade receivables are a reasonable approximation to the loss rates for the contract assets.

(l) Impairment of assets (financial and non-financial)

Non-financial

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 136. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

Financial

Financial assets are tested for impairment at each financial year end.

(m) Employee benefits

A provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave. Sick leave is non-vesting and has not been provided for.

18

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Provisions

A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Make good

Provision for make good in respect of leased properties is recognised where appropriate based on the estimated cost to be incurred to restore premises to the required condition under the relevant lease agreements.

(o) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost.

(p) Revenue and other income

Revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. Determining the timing of the transfer of control – at a point in time or over time - requires judgement.

– Sale of goods revenue recognised at a point in time

Revenue from the sale of goods that are not subject to contract manufacturing arrangements is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, rebates and goods and services tax payable to the taxation authority.

Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the promised goods and the Group has satisfied its performance obligation in relation to the promised goods. In determining when control of promised goods passes to the customer, the Group considers the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer. The timing of the transfer of risk and reward to the customers for the sale of goods occurs either:

• When the goods are despatched or delivered in line with the Incoterms as detailed in the relevant contract of sale or purchase order for the goods. The Group sells a significant proportion of its products on Free-In-Store/ Delivered at Place Incoterms. This means the Groups control of the goods passes when the product is delivered to the agreed destination.

• When they are made available to the customer and ownership transfers prior to despatch as detailed in the relevant contract of sale or purchase order for the goods.

• On notification (following stocktake) that the product has been used when the goods are consignment products located at customers’ premises.

Where cash consideration has been received but the revenue recognition criteria has not been met, such amounts have been recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position as a contract liability.

– Sale of goods contract manufacturing and supply revenue recognised over time

The Group has determined that for bundled contract manufacturing comprising design, build, install and service elements, the customer controls the goods once the goods are finished and installed on premises in accordance with the relevant contract. This is because under the contract, goods are manufactured to a customer’s specification, and if a firm order that is placed by the customer in accordance with the agreement is terminated, the Group is entitled to a reimbursement of the costs incurred in manufacturing the goods, including a reasonable margin. Therefore, revenue for the agreements and the associated costs are recognised over time. That is, before the goods are delivered to the customer’ premises. Invoices issued according to contractual terms and amounts not yet invoiced are presented as contract assets.

(q) Leases

Leases in which the Group is a lessee

The Group recognises all lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets, with the exception of short-term (12 months or fewer) and low value leases, on the balance sheet.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the net present value of future lease payments and extension options expected to be exercised. Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate are excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities. Payments are discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. Non-lease components are excluded from the projection of future lease payments and recorded separately within operating costs on a straight-line basis.

The right-of-use asset, resulting from a lease arrangement, at initial recognition reflects the lease liability, initial direct costs and any lease payments made before the commencement date of the lease less any lease incentives and, where applicable, provision for dismantling and restoration.

19

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Leases (continued)

The Group recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the income statement over the lease term. Repayments of lease liabilities are separated into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest portion (which the Group presents in operating activities) in the cash flow statement.

Leases in which the Group is a lessor

The Group sub-leases some of its properties. The Group has applied the guidance set out in AASB 16 to classify these as either a finance lease or operating lease.

Operating leases

Rental income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other income.

Finance leases

The Group recognises an investment in sub-lease in the statement of financial position. Rental income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as interest income. Finance sub-leases are classified with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

(r) Finance income and finance costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and finance leases.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

(s) Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for the Group.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend.

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(s) Income tax (continued)

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 November 2002 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Coventry Group Ltd.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the controlled entities is assumed by the head entity in the tax consolidated group and recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution. The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

(t) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are stated with the amount of GST included. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.

(u) Accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:

• estimation of current tax payable, current tax expense and recovery of deferred tax assets based on forecasted taxable profit – note 1(s) and note 7

• estimated useful life of intangible assets – note 1(j)

• estimated impairment of non-financial assets and measurement of the recoverable amount of cash generating units – note 16

• • estimation of valuation of inventories – note 1(g)

• valuation of trade receivables – note 1 (k) and note 22

• estimation of lease term under AASB16 – note 1 (q)

• estimation of fair value of assets acquired in Business Combinations – note 3

• estimation of share-based payment arrangements – note 20

16. Impairment of non-financial assets

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are allocated to the Group's operating divisions. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets allocated to each CGU are as follows.

Fluid Systems Trade Distribution	2021 2020 $’000 $’000 15,433 11,518 26,253 26,253
	41,686 37,771

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations include projected sales growth, projected gross margins, terminal value, improvements in working capital and the discount rate. These assumptions are based on historical experience and projected performance. Budget and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. A long-term growth rate is determined and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group's value in use model showed the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of both the Trade Distribution and Fluid Systems CGUs.

The values assigned to the key assumptions were:

Fluid Systems

• Sales growth at 5.24% for FY22, 7.89% for FY23 and 8.0% thereafter

• Terminal growth 2.5%

• Post-tax WACC of 10.69%

Trade Distribution

• Sales growth at 5.51% for FY22, 9.37% for FY23, 10.69% for FY24, 11.86% for FY25 and 8.98% for FY26

• Terminal growth 2.5%

Executive and Director Incentive Plan

An Executive and Director Incentive Plan was re-approved by shareholders in 2020. The Plan governs the future granting of performance rights and issue of shares based on annual Company performance. Vesting of performance rights may vary subject to the extent performance hurdles have been met and the exercise of Board discretion. On vesting, the performance rights entitle the recipient to receive fully paid shares in the Company.

Ordinary shares

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

Nature and purpose of reserves

Translation reserve

The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations where their functional currency is different to the functional currency of the reporting entity, as well as from the translation of liabilities that hedge the Company’s net investment in a foreign subsidiary.

Share based payments reserve

The share-based payment reserve comprises the fair value of shares and options that are yet to vest under share-based payment arrangements.

Hedge reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.

Profit reserve

The profit reserve comprises retained profits since the beginning of the 2021 financial year.

Dividends

The Board has declared a final dividend of 3 cents per share, fully franked, in relation to the year ended 30 June 2021. The Company has updated and reinstated its Dividend Reinvestment Plan to enable eligible shareholders to reinvest their dividend in additional shares in the Company.

22. Financial risk management

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

• • Market risk

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

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

The Group has not disclosed the fair values of the Level 1 financial instruments detailed below including cash and cash equivalents, short term trade receivables and payables, borrowing facility and lease liabilities because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and receivables from customers.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Note Cash and cash equivalents 9 Trade and other receivables 10	Carrying amount 2021 2020 $’000 $’000 8,221 7,542 45,281 35,346
	53,502 42,888

Trade and other receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Group has no significant concentration of customer base.

Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.

Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses, so that in the event of non-payment the Group may have a secured claim. The Group's terms and conditions of trade have been amended to incorporate the Personal Property Security legislation. The Group does not normally require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was Australia $40,247,505 (2020: $31,064,000) and New Zealand $5,033,345 (2020: $4,282,000).

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

22. Financial risk management (continued)

(a) Credit risk (continued)

Cash at bank and short- or long-term deposits are held with Australian and New Zealand banks with acceptable credit ratings.

Impairment of Trade Receivables

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, days past due and historic credit loss data.

The loss allowance as at 30 June 2021 was determined as follows for trade receivables:

	Current	More than 30	More than 60	More than	Total
		days past due	days past due	120 days

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

22. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group maintains a $45 million Borrowing Base facility on which interest is payable at prevailing market rates.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Non derivative financial liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowing facility Lease liability	2021
	Carrying amount Contractual cash flow 6 mths or less 6-12 mths 1-2 years More than 2 years
	$’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000
	49,457 (49,457) (49,117) - (340) -
	24,500 (24,500) (24,500) - - -
	53,994 (71,929) (6,412) (6,137) (10,900) (48,480)
	127,951 (145,886) (80,029) (6,137) (11,240) (48,480)

The outflows associated with forward contracts used for hedging are US$5.2 million (A$6.9 million), 2020: US$5.4 million (A$7.9 million) and will have been made within 11 months or less.

Non derivative financial liabilities Trade and other payables Debtor financing facility Lease liability	2020 Carrying amount Contractual cash flow 6 mths or less 6-12 mths 1-2 years More than 2 years $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 40,846 (40,846) (40,846) - - - 10,869 (10,869) (10,869) - - - 52,287 (52,287) (1,097) (12,948) (2,793) (35,449)
	104,002 (104,002) (52,812) (12,948) (2,793) (35,449)

In March 2021 the Group entered into a new 3-year financing arrangement with the National Australia Bank (NAB). This replaced the previous $40 million securitised trade receivables facility with Scottish Pacific. The overall facility is secured by General Security Deeds with Australian and New Zealand entities as well as Rights of Entry to eligible inventory locations.

Borrowing Base facility

The Group has a $45.0 million Borrowing Base facility against eligible inventory and debtors with a current expiry of March 2024. The facility is subject to a floating interest on funds drawn. The facility limit is scalable for future growth

Guarantee facility

In addition to the borrowing facilities above, the Group has a $5.0 million Standby Letter of Credit to provide security for Transactional Banking, Bank Guarantees, FX and other transactional facilities up to the limit specified in each individual guarantee.

ANZ Facilities

The Group maintains a small residual intraday facility with ANZ which will be closed upon full transition of transactional banking to the NAB.

Interest rate risk

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Variable rate financial assets	Carrying amount 2021 2020 $’000 $’000 8,217 7,538

35

Coventry Group Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

22. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Liquidity risk (continued)

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group does not account for any material fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

The impact of a change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date is immaterial.

Fair values

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group approximate their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily US dollars and Euros. The Group adopts a policy of obtaining, foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to USD foreign currency risks.

Capital management

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Group defines capital as cash, banking facilities and equity.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

23. Operating leases

The Group leases various premises, plant and equipment and motor vehicles under operating leases. The leases run for 12 months or less. Lease payments are reviewed periodically to reflect market rentals. None of the leases include contingent rentals.

29. Changes to accounting policy

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements

The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) has issued two final agenda decisions which impact SaaS arrangements:

• Customer’s right to receive access to the software hosted on the cloud (March 2019). This decision considers whether a customer receives a software asset at the contract commencement date or a service over the contract term.

• Configuration or customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement (April 2021). This decision discusses whether configuration or customisation expenditure relating to SaaS arrangements can be recognised as an intangible asset and if not, over what time period the expenditure is expensed.

The Group’s accounting policy has historically been to capitalise all costs related to SaaS arrangements as intangible assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The adoption of the above agenda decisions has resulted in recognition as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, impacting both the current and/ prior periods presented.

The new accounting policy is presented in Note 1(j).

A total of $507,000 was incurred in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the current period in relation to this change – refer to Note 27.

Review of businesses

Fluid Systems

Fluid Systems (FS), led by Bruce Carter and his leadership team, have had another excellent year with strong sales and EBITDA growth in Cooper Fluid Systems (CFS) and Torque Industries. The H.I.S. Hose and Fluid Power Services businesses acquired during the year have performed to expectations and are excellent additions to the business.

FS full year sales growth of 24.1% including acquisitions on the prior year and 16.4% excluding acquisitions on the prior year. The result included the large $7.9m order that was the culmination of a number of years of work. Sales growth is being driven by our customer value proposition, ability to win major contracts, market leading position in mining and resources and diversification into agriculture, defence, transport and recycling markets. Underlying EBITDA in FY21 of $13.8m compared to $10.3m in FY20.

Trade Distribution (TD)

TD sales for the year up 11.8% on the prior year. The underlying EBITDA for TD was $11.7m compared to $6.7m in FY20.

Konnect and Artia New Zealand (KANZ)

KANZ had a solid year of sales and profit growth. Led by Mike Wansink and the KANZ leadership team the business has continued to grow in its traditional markets and expand our presence in the construction market. The last quarter of the year has seen the business impacted by supply chain issues and stock shortages in some key lines. We expect this to continue in the first half of FY22 but remain optimistic we will continue to grow sales and profit.

Coventry Group Ltd Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2021

5. Review of operations and results (continued)

Konnect and Artia Australia (KAA)

Whilst it has taken longer than anticipated, we are pleased to announce that after 10 years of significant losses KAA generated a small profit in FY21. Achieving the break-even point was a significant milestone for the business. We are confident that we have the right people, the right strategy and operate in resilient markets to deliver momentum for further sales and profit growth in FY22 and beyond.

Nubco

Our network of seven Nubco branches in Tasmania had an excellent year with very strong sales and profit growth. Nick Daw and the leadership team have worked hard to improve the culture based on the Coventry values and this has resulted in improved employee retention and engagement results. Safety systems have been improved with only one LTI for the year compared to seven in FY20.

6. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2021 was 8.1 cents and 7.9 cents respectively. This compares to a basic loss from operations per share and diluted loss from operations per share of 0.5 cents for the previous year.

In the opinion of the Directors, there have been no other significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year.

Non-executive Directors receive cash fees for their board and committee work. They are eligible to participate in the Executive and Director Incentive Plan which was re-approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company in October 2020.

Non-executive directors’ cash fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fees pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The total pool currently stands at $550,000 (2020: $550,000) per annum, which was last approved by shareholders in November 2004 with effect from 1 July 2004. The Board determines the allocation of the maximum amount approved by shareholders amongst the respective directors, having regard to their duties and responsibilities. Directors’ fees are not directly linked to Company performance. Non-executive directors do not receive termination benefits. There is no provision for retirement allowances to be paid to non-executive directors.

As at 30 June 2021 the non-executive directors’ fees were allocated as follows (includes statutory superannuation contributions):

	2021	2020
	$	$
Chairman (inclusive of Board and Committee work)	100,800	100,800
Non-executive Directors (inclusive of Board and Committee work)	75,600	75,600

Remuneration policies

Remuneration of directors and senior executives is the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee. The Committee has resolved to set remuneration packages which are appropriate in the context of the company’s size, complexity and performance but which will attract the calibre of executive required to drive necessary change in order to enhance performance. The Committee seeks external advice in relation to these matters where necessary.

Remuneration for the CEO and senior executives currently comprises three elements:

• (1) Fixed, cash-based remuneration which includes salary, superannuation and benefits

• (2) Eligibility to participate in the Company’s short-term incentive plan (STI Plan)

• (3) Eligibility to participate in the Company’s long-term share based Executive and Director Incentive Plan (LTI Plan)

The CEO and senior executives have employment contracts with notice periods executable by either party. There are no arrangements in place to provide the CEO or any senior executive with a retirement benefit other than those which accrue by law. Superannuation contributions are paid at the superannuation guarantee rate.

Cash incentives under the STI Plan of up to 65% of fixed annual compensation are payable to the CEO and senior executives based on financial and non-financial measures framed around the Company’s trading performance and each individual’s performance.

The LTI Plan was re-approved by shareholders at the 2020 annual general meeting. This share-based plan provides for the granting or issuing of performance rights in accordance with its terms and subject to the terms and performance hurdles set by the Board.

Business Performance

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the remuneration committee have regard to the following financial performance metrics in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years.

Performance Rights Commentary

In FY21, one third of the performance rights that were vested to the CEO and Managing Director (R Bulluss) in relation to the FY19 performance period and one third in relation to the FY20 performance period, were exercised. One third of the performance rights that were vested to five other Company senior executives in relation to the FY19 performance period and one third in relation to the FY20 performance period were also exercised in FY21.

In relation to FY21, the CEO and Managing Director (R Bulluss) was granted 418,535 performance rights under the terms of the LTI Plan following the successful passing of a resolution at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Company. These performance rights had a performance period that ended on 30 June 2021 with performance and employment conditions set by the Board. The Board has not yet made a determination in relation to the vesting of FY21 Performance Rights.

In relation to FY21 an offer to participate in the LTI Plan was made to a number of other Company senior executives. The total performance rights granted was 1,005,969. These Performance Rights had a performance period that ended on 30 June 2021 with performance and employment conditions set by the Board. The Board has not yet made a determination in relation to the vesting of FY21 Performance Rights.

It is intended that the CEO and Managing Director will participate in the LTI Plan in relation to FY22. The maximum face value of the CEO’s FY22 grant is based on the LTI opportunity of 50% of his fixed annual remuneration. The number of performance rights to be granted is determined by dividing the maximum face value by the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares preceding the start of the performance period, being the 10 trading days up to and including 30 June 2021.

The performance rights will vest at the Board’s discretion, taking into consideration internal EBITDA targets developed and refined as FY22 progresses (Absolute measure 65%) and performance of the Coventry share price as measured against the ASX Small Ordinaries Index (Relative measure 35%). An appropriate resolution will be put to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of the Company.

10.2 Principles used to determine the nature and amount of compensation (continued)

It is intended that a number of senior executives will participate in the LTI Plan in relation to FY22. The maximum face value of each senior executive’s FY22 grant is based on the LTI opportunity of 25% to 40% of his or her fixed annual remuneration. The number of performance rights to be granted is determined by dividing the maximum face value by the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares preceding the start of the performance period, being the 10 trading days up to and including 30 June 2021. The performance rights will vest in the same manner as outlined for the CEO and Managing Director.

14. Non-audit services

During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, for the following reasons:

• all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

• the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Company, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 4 to the full financial report.

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 this matter.

Valuation of goodwill ($30.3 million) and indefinite life intangible assets ($11.4 million)

Refer to Note 15 and Note 16 to the Financial Report.

Valuation of goodwill ($30.3 million) and indefinite life intangible assets ($11.4 million)	Valuation of goodwill ($30.3 million) and indefinite life intangible assets ($11.4 million)
Refer to Note 15 and Note 16 to the Financial Report.
The key audit matter	How the matter was addressed in our audit
The carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets is considered with reference to the Group’s analysis of future cash flows for the respective Cash Generating Units (CGUs) or individual assets (as applicable). The recoverability of these assets is a key audit matter due to the inherent complexity associated with auditing the forward looking assumptions incorporated in the Group’s “value in use” (VIU) models and the ongoing estimation uncertainty associated with the business disruption and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group’s VIU models are internally developed, and use a range of internal and external data as inputs. Forward looking assumptions may be prone to greater risk for potential bias, error and inconsistent application. These conditions necessitate additional scrutiny by us, over key assumptions including forecast cash flows, forecast growth rates over the forecast period and discount rates. We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter.	Our procedures included:  assessing the Group’s VIU models and key assumptions by: ‐ evaluating the appropriateness of the CGU designation and VIU method applied by the Group against accounting standard requirements; ‐ comparing inputs into the relevant cash flow forecasts to the Group’s approved budgets and projections; ‐ assessing the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the models, including assessing the impact of business changes; ‐ using our knowledge of the Group, its past performance, and our industry knowledge to challenge and assess the reasonableness of key assumptions; and ‐ working with our valuation specialists, we independently developed a discount rate range using publicly available market data for comparable entities, adjusted by risk factors specific to the Group.  considering the sensitivity of the models by varying key assumptions, such as forecast growth rates and discount rates, within a reasonably possible range, to identify those assumptions at higher risk of bias or inconsistency in application. We also assessed the related impairment breakeven points for these assumptions in order to identify those assets at higher risk of impairment and to focus our further procedures;

==> picture [63 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

• working with our valuation specialists we compared the implied multiples from the Group’s models to multiples derived from comparable companies;

• assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding of the recoverability assessment obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.

Other Information

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Coventry Group Ltd’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we 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.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The Directors are responsible for:

• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;

• implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

• assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objective is:

• to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

• to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in

==> picture [63 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
