“The Company’s core products of immunoglobulin and albumin have performed very well and we have strengthened our margins through a change in sales mix and a relentless pursuit of efficiency.”

“Our suite of specialty products grew strongly, supported by the registration in the US of Kcentra, a product used in the urgent reversal of anticoagulant warfarin in patients with acute major bleeding,” Mr Perreault said.

OPERATING REVIEW

CSL Behring sales of US$4.5 billion grew 10% in constant currency terms, when compared to the prior comparable period.

Immunoglobulin product sales of US$2,081 million grew 9% in constant currency terms. Demand for subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG), lead by Hizentra[®] , was particularly strong in both the US and Europe, growing 27% in constant currency terms, when compared to the prior comparable period. Hizentra[®] offers patients the convenience of self administration at home.

Intravenous immunoglobulin sales growth was led by strong demand for Privigen[®] in the US, somewhat offset by a price reduction for Carimune[®] , which competes at the low price end of the market. Approved indications for Privigen[®] were expanded in April 2013 when the European Commission granted marketing authorisation for its use in the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

Albumin sales of US$601 million grew 28% in constant currency terms. Growth was underpinned by demand in China, which was aided by domestic plasma supply interruptions. Improved distribution logistics in China also helped grow sales. In Europe sales of albumin were enhanced by a favourable re-evaluation of albumin usage in intensive care units.

Haemophilia product sales of US$1,090 million grew 2% in constant currency terms. Plasma derived coagulation factors grew 5% in constant currency terms, led by Beriate[®] , which grew 22% in volume of units sold, largely arising from stronger demand in Latin America, particularly Brazil. Sales from this volume growth, however, were offset to some extent by the ongoing geographic sales shift towards lower priced developing markets. Recombinant FVIII sales declined 1% in constant currency terms, influenced by

the number of clinical trials underway for new generation recombinant factor VIII products where patients receive clinical trial products at no cost.

Specialty products sales of US$719 million grew 17% in constant currency terms. The changing paradigm for the treatment of peri-operative bleeding continued to underpin growth in demand for fibrinogen product Haemocomplettan[®] in Europe.

In April 2013 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Kcentra[™] for urgent warfarin reversal in patients with acute major bleeding. Kcentra[™] is the first FDA approved 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate for warfarin reversal in the US. It is marketed in more than 25 countries, including under the trade names of Beriplex[®] and Confidex[®] outside the US. Demand for Beriplex[®] grew well, particularly in Europe.

Robust demand continues for Berinert[®] , which is used for the treatment of acute attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema. In January 2013, Berinert[®] received US approval for self administration and use in the treatment of laryngeal attacks. Both indications contributed to the increased sales of the product.

bioCSL sales of US$449 million grew 8% in constant currency terms, when compared to the prior comparable period. GARDASIL* sales were US$57m, up strongly following the commencement of the vaccination program for boys in Australia. Influenza vaccine sales fell to US$137 million in what has been a challenging year for this business. CSL’s influenza vaccine is manufactured in Australia with the majority sold into the northern hemisphere. The Australian operating environment together with global influenza market dynamics, has put these sales and margins under significant competitive pressure.

CSL Intellectual Property revenue was US$134 million, underpinned by solid growth in royalty contributions from Human Papillomavirus Vaccines.

Group EBIT margin[4] grew from 26.6% to 29.1% driven by improved efficiencies and a change in sales mix across the portfolio of products.

OUTLOOK (at 12/13 exchange rates)

Commenting on CSL’s outlook, CSL Chief Executive Officer Paul Perreault said, “Looking into 2014 we see trading conditions being tempered again by ongoing economic pressures. To meet this challenge we remain focussed on the patients who rely on our products. This focus underpins our strategic thinking, particularly in relation to product innovation and is complemented by our continued drive to instil an efficiency mindset right across the Company.”

“Our research and development spend is forecast to grow faster than our growth in profit as we approach commercialisation of several recombinant coagulation products currently in development.”

“This financial year we anticipate profit growth of approximately 10% at constant currency. Earnings per share growth will again exceed profit growth expectations as shareholders benefit from the ongoing effect of past and current share buybacks. I’m pleased to again foreshadow that following the completion of the current share buyback program the Board will consider new capital management initiatives which may include a further on-market share buyback program of a similar amount to the current program,” Mr Perreault said.

In compiling the Company’s financial forecasts for the year ending 30 June 2014 a number of key variables which may have a significant impact on guidance have been identified and these have been included in the footnote[5] below.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

CSL today announced two changes to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr Ian Renard, AM, has indicated his intention to retire as a director of the Board, as at the conclusion of the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 16 October 2013. Ms Marie

Constant currency removes the impact of exchange rate movements to facilitate comparability by restating the current year’s results at the prior year’s rates. This is done in two parts: a) by converting the current year net profit of entities in the group that have reporting currencies other than US Dollars at the rates that were applicable to the prior year (“translation currency effect”) and comparing this with the actual profit of those entities for the current year; and b) by restating material transactions booked by the group that are impacted by exchange rate movements at the rate that would have applied to the transaction if it had occurred in the prior year (“transaction currency effect”) and comparing this with the actual transaction recorded in the current year. The sum of translation currency effect and transaction currency effect is the amount by which reported net profit is adjusted to calculate the result at constant currency.

Summary NPAT

Reported net profit after tax US$ 1,216.3m Translation currency effect (a) US$ 66.6m Transaction currency effect (b) US$ (48.9)m Constant currency net profit after tax* US$ 1,234.0m

a) Translation Currency Effect US$66.6m Average Exchange rates used for calculation in major currencies were as follows:

Twelve months ended Jun 12 Jun 13 USD/CHF 0.89 0.94 USD/EUR 0.74 0.77

b) Transaction Currency Effect US$(48.9)m

Transaction currency effect is calculated by reference to the applicable prior year exchange rates. The calculation takes into account the timing of sales both internally within the CSL Group (ie from a manufacturer to a distributor) and externally (ie to the final customer) and the relevant exchange rates applicable to each transaction.

Summary Sales

Reported sales US$ 4,950.4m Currency effect (c) US$ 105.0m Constant currency sales * US$ 5,055.5m

c) Constant Currency Effect $105m

Constant currency effect is presented as a single amount due to the complex and interrelated nature of currency impact on sales.

4. Principal Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the financial year were the research, development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of biopharmaceutical and allied products.

5. Operating and Financial Review and Future Prospects

(a) Financial Review

The Group announced a net profit after tax of US$1,216 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2013, up 19% when compared to the prior comparable period. This result included an unfavourable foreign exchange impact of US$18 million. On a constant currency[1] basis, operational net profit after tax grew 21%. Sales revenue was US$5.0 billion, up 10% on a constant currency basis when compared to the prior comparable period, with research and development expenditure of US$427 million up 16%. Cash flow from operations was US$1,312 million, up 9% when compared to the prior comparable period.

(b) Operating Review

CSL Behring sales of US$4.5 billion grew 10% in constant currency terms, when compared to the prior comparable period.

Immunoglobulin product sales of US$2,081 million grew 9% in constant currency terms. Demand for subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG), lead by Hizentra®, was particularly strong in both the US and Europe, growing 27% when compared to the prior comparable period. Hizentra® offers patients the convenience of self administration at home.

Intravenous immunoglobulin sales growth was led by strong demand for Privigen® in the US, somewhat offset by a price reduction for Carimune®, which competes at the low price end of the market. Approved indications for Privigen® were expanded in April 2013 when the European Commission granted marketing authorisation for its use in the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

Albumin sales of US$601 million grew 28% in constant currency terms. Growth was underpinned by demand in China, which was aided by domestic plasma supply interruptions. Improved distribution logistics in China also helped grow sales. In Europe sales of albumin were enhanced by a favourable re-evaluation of albumin usage in intensive care units.

Haemophilia product sales of US$1,090 million grew 2% in constant currency terms. Plasma derived coagulation factors grew 5% in constant currency terms led by Beriate®, which grew 22% in volume of units sold, largely arising from stronger demand in Latin America, particularly Brazil. Sales from this volume growth, however, were offset to some extent by the ongoing geographic sales shift towards lower priced emerging markets. Recombinant FVIII sales declined 1% in constant currency terms, influenced by the number of clinical trials underway for new generation recombinant factor FVIII products where patients receive clinical trial products at no cost.

1 Constant currency removes the impact of exchange rate movements to facilitate comparability by restating the current year’s results at the prior year’s rates. This is done in two parts: a) by converting the current year net profit of entities in the group that have reporting currencies other than US Dollars at the rates that were applicable to the prior year ( translation currency effect ) and comparing this with the actual profit of those entities for the current year; and b) by restating material transactions booked by the group that are impacted by exchange rate movements at the rate that would have applied to the transaction if it had occurred in the prior year ( transaction currency effect ) and comparing this with the actual transaction recorded in the current year.

Directors' Report

Specialty products sales of US$719 million grew 17% in constant currency terms. The changing paradigm for the treatment of peri-operative bleeding continued to underpin growth in demand for fibrinogen product Haemocomplettan® in Europe.

In April 2013 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Kcentra™ for urgent warfarin reversal in patients with acute major bleeding. Kcentra™ is the first FDA approved 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate for warfarin reversal in the US. It is marketed in more than 25 countries, including under the trade names of Beriplex® and Confidex® outside the US. Demand for Beriplex® grew well, particularly in Europe.

Robust demand continues in the US for Berinert®, which is used for the treatment of acute attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema. In January 2013, Berinert® received US approval for self administration and use in the treatment of laryngeal attacks. Both indications contributed to the increased sales of the product.

bioCSL sales of US$449 million grew 8% in constant currency terms, when compared to the prior comparable period. GARDASIL* sales were US$57m, up strongly following the commencement of the vaccination program for boys in Australia. Influenza vaccine sales fell to US$137 million in what has been a challenging year for this business. CSL’s influenza vaccine is manufactured in Australia with the majority sold into the northern hemisphere. The Australian operating environment together with global influenza market dynamics, has put these sales and margins under significant competitive pressure.

CSL Intellectual Property revenue was US$134 million, underpinned by solid growth in royalty contributions from Human Papillomavirus Vaccines.

Group EBIT margin[2] grew from 26.6% to 29.1% driven by improved efficiencies and a change in sales mix across the portfolio of products.

Full details of all information disclosed to the Australian Securities Exchange during the period under review can be obtained from the ASX website (www.asx.com.au).

(c) Future Prospects

In the medium term the Company expects to continue to grow through developing differentiated plasma products, receiving royalty flows from the exploitation of the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine by Merck & Co, Inc, and the commercialisation of the Company’s technology.

Over the longer term the Company intends to develop new products which are protected by its own intellectual property and which are high margin human health medicines marketed and sold by the Company’s global operations.

This is underpinned by the Company’s research and development strategy that comprises four main areas:

  • Immunoglobulins – support and enhance the current portfolio with improved patient convenience, yield improvements, expanded labels and new formulation science;

  • Haemophilia Products – support and enhance the current portfolio with new plasma-derived products, recombinant coagulation factors and coagulation research;

  • Speciality Products – expand the use of speciality plasma products through new markets, novel indications and new modes of administration; and

  • Breakthrough Medicines – develop new protein-based therapies for significant unmet medical needs and multiple indications.

Further comments on likely developments and expected results of certain aspects of the operations of the consolidated entity and on the business strategies and prospects for future financial years of the consolidated entity, are contained in the Year in Review in the Annual Report and in section 5 (b) of this Directors’ Report. Additional information of this nature can be found on the Company’s website, www.csl.com.au. Any further information of this nature has been omitted as it would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the Company to refer further to such matters.

7. Significant changes in the State of Affairs

From 1 July 2012, the Company effected a change in its presentation currency from Australian dollars to US dollars. For more information, please refer to Note 1(a) of the Financial Report.

On 17 October 2012, the Company announced its intention to conduct a further on-market buyback of up to $900 million, representing approximately 4% of shares then on issue.

From 1 July to 2 July 2013, an additional 265,799 shares were purchased, bringing the total returned to shareholders to approximately A$869 million. Post 3 July 2013 up to 14 August 2013, no further shares have been bought back.

On 1 January 2013, the Australian plasma operations were integrated with CSL Behring, creating a single global plasma business, and the Australian-based vaccines, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and logistics businesses were combined under a new stand-alone business unit called bioCSL. For more information, please refer to Note 2 of the Financial Report.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements.

8. Significant events after year end

On 1 July 2013, Mr P R Perreault succeeded Dr B A McNamee as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

Other than as disclosed in the financial statements, the Directors are not aware of any other matter of circumstance which has arisen since the end of the financial year which has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

9. Health, Safety and Environmental Performance

The Company continues to operate a global Health, Safety and Environment Management System that ensures its facilities operate to internationally recognised standards. This framework includes compliance with government regulations and commitments to continuously improving the health and safety of the Company’s workforce as well as minimising the impact of operations on the environment. The Company also maintains certifications to relevant external Health, Safety and Environment management systems including the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), ISO 50001 Energy Management, and AS/NZ4801 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

Lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) continues to record improved performance while the Medical Treatment Injury Rate (MTIFR) has decreased slightly in performance as compared to the all-time low rate achieved in 2012. There has been a significant improvement in the Days Lost Frequency Rate (DLFR) over the last year with the trend continuing in a positive direction. For our Australian operations tier 3 status was maintained in regard to CSL Limited’s self-insurance licence granted by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission.

No environmental breaches have been notified by the Environmental Protection Authority in Victoria, Australia, or by any other equivalent interstate or foreign government agency in relation to the Company’s Australian, European, North American or Asia Pacific operations during the year ended 30 June 2013.

Environmental obligations and waste discharge quotas are regulated under applicable Australian and foreign laws. Environmental performance is monitored and subjected from time to time to government agency audits and site inspections. The Company continues to refine data collection systems and processes to ensure we are well prepared for new regulatory requirements.

As part of compliance and continuous improvement in environmental performance, both regulatory and voluntary, the Company continues to report on key environmental issues including energy consumption, emissions, water use and management of waste as part of the Company’s annual sustainability. The Company has met its reporting obligations under the Australian Government’s National Greenhouse Energy Reporting Act (2007) and Victoria Government’s Industrial Waste Management Policy, National Pollutant Inventory (IWMP NPI) .

Globally, we continue to evaluate potential risks to the Company and its operations associated with climate change. To date, studies indicate that climate change, and measures introduced or announced by various governments to address climate change, do not pose a significant risk or financial impact to the Company in the short to medium term. Climate change risks and control measures continue to be monitored to ensure compliance to new and emerging regulatory requirements.

Further details and reporting in relation to health, safety and environmental performance can be found in the Company’s sustainability report, Our Corporate Responsibility, available on the Company’s website.

10. Directors' Shareholdings and Interests

At the date of this report, the interests of the directors who held office at 30 June 2013 in the shares, options and performance rights of the Company are set out in Note 28(g) of the Financial Report. It is contrary to Board policy for key management personnel to limit exposure to risk in relation to these securities. From time to time the Company Secretary makes inquiries of key management personnel as to their compliance with this policy.

11. Directors' Interests in Contracts

Section 13 of this Report sets out particulars of the Directors Deed entered into by the Company with each director in relation to Board paper access (indemnity and insurance matters).

12. Performance Rights and Options

As at the date of this report, the number of unissued ordinary shares in the Company under options and under performance rights are set out in Note 27 of the Financial Statements.

Holders of options or performance rights do not have any right, by virtue of the options or performance rights, to participate in any share issue by the Company or any other body corporate or in any interest issued by any registered managed investment scheme.

The number of options and performance rights exercised during the financial year and the exercise price paid to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company is set out in Note 27 (b) and (c) of the Financial Statements. Since the end of the financial year, 6,863 shares were issued under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan.

13. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

During the financial year, the insurance and indemnity arrangements discussed below were in place concerning directors and officers of the consolidated entity:

The Company has entered into a Director's Deed with each director regarding access to Board papers, indemnity and insurance. Each deed provides:

  • (a) an ongoing and unlimited indemnity to the relevant director against liability incurred by that director in or arising out of the conduct of the business of the Company or of a subsidiary (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 ) or in or arising out of the discharge of the duties of that director. The indemnity is given to the extent permitted by law and to the extent and for the amount that the relevant director is not otherwise entitled to be, and is not actually, indemnified by another person or out of the assets of a corporation, where the liability is incurred in or arising out of the conduct of the business of that corporation or in the discharge of the duties of the director in relation to that corporation;

  • (b) that the Company will maintain, for the term of each director's appointment and for seven years following cessation of office, an insurance policy for the benefit of each director which insures the director against liability for acts or omissions of that director in the director's capacity or former capacity as a director; and

  • (c) the relevant director with a right of access to Board papers relating to the director's period of appointment as a director for a period of seven years following that director's cessation of office. Access is permitted where the director is, or may be, defending legal proceedings or appearing before an inquiry or hearing of a government agency or an external administrator, where the proceedings, inquiry or hearing relates to an act or omission of the director in performing the director's duties to the Company during the director's period of appointment.

In addition to the Director's Deeds, Rule 95 of the Company’s constitution requires the Company to indemnify each “officer” of the Company and of each wholly owned subsidiary of the Company out of the assets of the Company “to the relevant extent” against any liability incurred by the officer in the conduct of the business of the Company or in the conduct of the business of such wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or in the discharge of the duties of the officer unless incurred in circumstances which the Board resolves do not justify indemnification.

For this purpose, “officer” includes a director, executive officer, secretary, agent, auditor or other officer of the Company. The indemnity only applies to the extent the Company is not precluded by law from doing so, and to the extent that the officer is not otherwise entitled to be or is actually indemnified by another person, including under any insurance policy, or out of the assets of a corporation, where the liability is incurred in or arising out of the conduct of the business of that corporation or in the discharge of the duties of the officer in relation to that corporation.

The Company paid insurance premiums of US$1,233,370 in respect of a contract insuring each individual director of the Company and each full time executive officer, director and secretary of the Company and its controlled entities, against certain liabilities and expenses (including liability for certain legal costs) arising as a result of work performed in their respective capacities, to the extent permitted by law.

14. Auditor independence and non-audit services

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the consolidated entity are important.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the entity’s auditor, Ernst & Young, for non-audit services provided during the year are set out below. The directors, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk Management Committee, are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 . The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Professional Statement F1, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or a decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

A copy of the auditors’ independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 accompanies this Report.

Ernst & Young and its related practices received or are due to receive the following amounts for the provision of non-audit services in respect to the year ended 30 June 2013:

16. Remuneration Report

Message from the Board

The Board’s philosophy and general approach to Key Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration remained largely consistent with the previous year.

On 30 June 2013 Dr Brian McNamee, stepped down from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. On 1 July 2013, Mr. Paul Perreault assumed the position of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The contractual arrangements for Mr Perreault and the end-of-service arrangements for Dr McNamee were the subject of ASX releases in March and June respectively. The CSL Board supports transparency in termination arrangements and has provided extensive detail on Dr. McNamee’s arrangements both in an ASX Release and in the footnotes to Table 9. Dr McNamee’s reported remuneration for 2013 includes the full value of long term incentives that were granted under the Performance Rights Plan (the Plan) and reported between 2009 and 2012. This value has been fully accrued in the 2013 accounts. These rights and options remain at risk and will vest in future on their planned vesting dates, only if they meet the requirements of the Plan which include the applicable performance hurdles. The reported value includes the pro-rated settlement due to Dr McNamee under the Company’s “good leaver” arrangements (as described on page 16) as well as the non pro-rated settlement which remain subject to a shareholder vote at the 2013 Annual General Meeting in October.

We have added new commentary on page 12 to describe the current status of the Board’s discretion on clawing back or cancelling STI bonuses in the event of a material misstatement. The Board will ensure that it has the necessary flexibility to respond to exceptional circumstances and will describe the policy more fully in the 2014 remuneration report.

CSL is a global company in terms of ownership, operations and employees. 41.2% of CSL’s shares were held outside Australia as at 30 June 2013; 88.7% of the Group’s sales revenue in 2013 was generated outside Australia and, as at 30 June 2013, 83.6% of the Group’s 11,285 full time equivalent employees and five of the ten KMP were employed outside Australia.

The Board is mindful of the need to attract, retain and reward executives in the many geographic locations in which they are employed. We continue to address these considerations in a way which meets expectations of both shareholders and executives balancing the different expectations that exist in different geographies. The Board aims to balance risk and create sustainable value over the long term.

Each year we compare the remuneration for CSL Executive KMP against that of equivalent positions in a range of peer companies, in terms both of the quantum and the mix of pay components. The data for 2013 was collected and presented directly to the Board by Guerdon Associates. During 2013, in preparation for our leadership transition to a new Chief Executive Officer, several KMP were given increased responsibilities. In several cases this involved an increase to their fixed remuneration and/or to their overall Short Term Incentive (STI) opportunity. This was also an opportunity to extend the practice of STI deferral and six KMP had part of their STI subject to deferral.

For all KMP the maximum STI awards and the actual 2013 awards are detailed in the report. The deferral method is described on page 13.

Our STI approach is built on individual work-plans which, taken as a whole, will deliver our business plans. The aggregate of all STI awards for the Executive KMP is related to CSL’s overall business performance across a range of financial measures. We then reward individual Executive KMP on measurable business outcomes which are specified in their performance plans for the current year and on their success in implementing initiatives which will benefit shareholders in future years. We have described our approach on page 12. The Board continues to believe that basingSTI awards on a combination of overall business result; individual, measurable business outcomes and other significant achievements, is the best driver of sustained high performance and, therefore, best aligns with the interest of shareholders.

In October 2012, we made an award of Performance Rights to KMP executives as participants in the long-term incentive (LTI) plan, which is described on page 14. The hurdles for this and future grants will be set and measured in US dollars in line with our reporting currency. The hurdles for the most recent grant are described on page 15 and for past grants on page 27. The main LTI changes for 2013 were the adjustment to graduated vesting for the compound EPS hurdle and the move to measuring relative TSR through comparison with an international index of Pharma and Biotech companies rather than using an ASX comparator group.

In 2013, US-based KMP again received part of their LTI award under the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan to better align with US market practice.

We continue to aim for a fair and equitable approach to KMP remuneration which rewards the ongoing success of a highly experienced senior executive team and meets the expectations of all shareholders. We welcome feedback on our remuneration practices and on our communication of remuneration matters in this report.

Remuneration Framework

CSL is one of the largest specialist plasma protein therapeutics companies in the world. We are a vertically integrated organisation with a broad geographic footprint in terms of product sourcing, manufacturing and R&D. This produces many management complexities, requiring constant liaison across functions and geographies by work groups operating in what are effectively management matrices. We have therefore chosen a remuneration framework that has a high degree of global consistency to encourage people to work together for common goals. A significant proportion of executive reward is linked to share price in recognition of the need to work across geographies and functional groups to achieve long-term goals. Employees transfer across geographies to work. The selection and mix of remuneration components which are applied in most countries are therefore broadly the same.

2 Retired as Executive Director on 17 October 2012

3 Appointed as Executive Director from 13 February 2013 and as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer from 1 July 2013

Directors' Report

Through an effective remuneration framework the Company aims to:

  • provide fair and equitable rewards;

  • utilise common reward components that can be applied globally;

  • align rewards to business outcomes that create value for shareholders;

  • drive a high performance culture by rewarding the achievement of strategic and business objectives;

  • encourage teamwork;

  • ensure an appropriate pay mix to balance our focus on both short term and longer term performance;

  • attract, retain and motivate high calibre employees; and

  • ensure remuneration is competitive in each of our international employment markets.

Human Resource and Remuneration Framework Responsibilities

The Board and its Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (HRRC) have various responsibilities in relation to the CSL Group’s human resource and remuneration framework.

The full Board has responsibility for:

  • (a) approving any framework or policy for setting the remuneration of the Managing Director and the Company’s executives;

  • (b) appointing and, where appropriate, removing the Managing Director, approving other key executive appointments, and planning for executive succession;

  • (c) overseeing and evaluating the performance of the Managing Director and other senior executives who report to the Managing Director in the context of the company’s strategies and objectives;

  • (d) reviewing and approving the remuneration of the Managing Director and those senior executives who report to the Managing Director, inclusive of fixed pay and short and long term incentive components (subject to any approval of shareholders in General Meeting for Executive Directors to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme);

  • (e) approving the establishment of or any amendment to employee share, performance option, performance rights and deferred cash incentive plans;

  • (f) reviewing and approving remuneration and other benefits to be paid to Non-Executive Directors (subject to any maximum sum for remuneration of Non-Executive Directors approved by shareholders in General Meeting);

  • (g) on an annual basis, approving measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and assessing progress towards achieving them; and

  • (h) Board succession planning to ensure an appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity (subject to the power of shareholders in General Meeting to elect or re-elect directors).

The HRRC is responsible for approving human resources initiatives of the CSL Group generally. The HRRC’s responsibilities include:

  • (a) recommending to the Board a framework or policy for setting the remuneration of the Managing Director and the CSL Group’s executives. The policy should aim to set remuneration outcomes which:

  • (i) are competitive, equitable and designed to attract and retain high quality executives;

  • (ii) motivate executives to pursue the long-term growth of the CSL Group; and (iii) establish a clear relationship between executive performance and remuneration.

  • (b) reviewing and recommending to the Board the design of any share, performance option, performance rights, retention and deferred cash incentive plans including performance measures and any amendments to such schemes or plans;

  • (c) reviewing and recommending to the Board, proposals from the Managing Director for allocations under share, performance option, performance rights, retention and deferred cash incentive plans;

  • (d) reviewing, approving and monitoring the implementation of the Company's Human Resources Strategic Plan, and Performance Management Systems;

  • (e) reviewing and recommending to the Board the total individual remuneration package of the Managing Director and of all senior executives who report to the Managing Director;

  • (f) reviewing the CSL Group’s executive succession plan;

  • (g) reviewing and recommending to the Board the remuneration and other benefits of the Non-Executive Directors;

  • (h) engaging on behalf of the Company and interacting directly with any remuneration consultant required to assist the HRRC in matters related to the design of the CSL Group’s key management personnel remuneration system and the implementation of appropriate remuneration levels within the agreed system;

  • (i) overseeing the establishment of and regular review of the CSL Group’s diversity policy and reviewing and recommending to the Board measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity;

Page 9

Directors' Report

  • (j) reviewing and reporting to the Board at least annually on the relative proportion of women and men within the CSL Group and of the remuneration by gender of CSL Group employees at all levels;

  • (k) reviewing the Company’s global health, safety and environmental performance; and

  • (l) reporting to the Board the findings and recommendations of the HRRC after each meeting.

The HRRC comprises three independent Non-Executive Directors, John Akehurst (Chairman), David Anstice and Christine O’Reilly. Jill Lever, Senior Vice President – Human Capital, acts as the secretary of the HRRC. The Board Chairperson and any other director may attend any meeting of the HRRC in an ex officio capacity. The Managing Director, Senior Executives and professional advisors retained by the HRRC attend meetings by invitation.

The HRRC endorses and recommends to the Board for approval the performance measures and hurdles used in incentive plans each year, reviews the outcomes of the performance management process, oversees the succession planning process and authorises the allocation of long-term incentives (once approved by the Board). The Committee meets when required to perform these functions and at other times as are required to discharge its responsibilities. Information about the HRRC meetings held during the year and individual Directors’ attendance at these meetings can be found in section 3 of this Directors’ Report.

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

A remuneration pool of up to A$2,500,000 for the payment of Non-Executive Directors was approved by shareholders on 13 October 2010. This limit has applied from 1 July 2010 and any increases to the limit are subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting.

The Board believes that the fee structure approved for Non-Executive Directors must:

  • enable the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified directors with appropriate experience and expertise; and

  • have regard to directors’ Board responsibilities and their activities on Board committees.

Table 1 below sets out annual Non-Executive Director Board and committee fees which became effective 1 July 2012. The fees are inclusive of superannuation.

The fees have increased by 3% from 1 July 2013.

As stated in Section 3 of this Report, a Capital Structuring Committee was established during the year. No additional remuneration was paid to those Directors who served on that Committee.

The Chairman of the Board does not receive any additional fees for committee responsibilities.

Non-Executive Directors participate in the Non-Executive Directors’ Share Plan approved by shareholders at the 2002 annual general meeting, as amended. The Non-Executive Directors’ Share Plan requires that each Non-Executive Director takes at least 20% of their after-tax director’s base fee (excluding superannuation guarantee contributions) in the form of shares in CSL Limited. Shares are purchased by Directors on-market at prevailing share prices, twice yearly, after the announcement of the Company’s half and full year results.

In 1994, the shareholders approved the Non-Executive Directors’ Retirement Plan (the NED Retirement Plan). The Board closed the NED Retirement Plan to future participants, and froze the amount of the retirement allowance for existing participants, as at 31 December 2003. Mr Ian Renard is the only remaining Non-Executive Director who has an entitlement to a retirement allowance (at the level frozen for him in 2003) under the NED Retirement Plan.

Directors may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by them in the course of discharging their duties.

Table 9 shows remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors in respect to the 2012 and 2013 years.

The Company’s Executive KMP remuneration is directly linked to its business strategy. The Board conducts an annual strategy review with Management and following this, business plans are prepared which lead to the approval by the Board of a detailed activity plan and budget for the subsequent year and directional objectives and plans for the medium to long term.

The performance targets or key performance indicators (KPIs) which govern the STI payment to each Executive KMP are selected by the Managing Director during the Company’s planning process to reflect the contribution required from each individual (and the part of the business for which they have responsibility) in order for the Company to meet its agreed business plan and budget for the year. These KPIs include financial and operational performance measures, which are specific to the responsibilities of each individual. These KPIs form part of a challenging work plan and are approved by the Board and recorded in the Company’s performance management system. The Board is responsible for the selection of KPIs and for the approval of the work plan for the Managing Director.

A formal review of each Executive KMP’s progress against his or her specific objectives is conducted twice annually by the Managing Director. Following the full year performance review, the Managing Director makes recommendations to the HRRC and subsequently to the Board regarding the level of STI payment to be made to each Executive KMP, excluding himself. The Board evaluates the Managing Director’s performance against his pre-agreed KPIs and agrees his STI payment. The Board retains the discretion to vary the level of STI payment to each Executive KMP to take account of specific circumstances during the year to avoid a formulaic outcome which does not reflect the performance of the Company or the contribution of the individual.

In addition to the requirement to achieve annual performance targets, our strategy looks to achieve long term growth in shareholder returns. The interests of shareholders and Executive KMP are aligned in this respect through the long term incentive scheme (LTI) which rewards Executive KMPs when the Company meets its cumulative financial goals over a number of years.

Further details of both STI and LTI targets and hurdles are provided in the following section of this report.

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)

TFR is set on an individual basis for each Executive KMP, based on assessment of job weight defined as part of the Company’s global job evaluation system. The appropriate level of remuneration is then set by considering market data for comparable roles in the country of domicile. Adjustments are also made to reflect the incumbent’s experience in the role.

The annual rate of increase in an Executive KMP’s TFR is primarily driven by market remuneration benchmarking reviews undertaken by the Company’s external remuneration advisers (Guerdon Associates). It is also influenced by prior performance against objectives.

In 2013, TFR for Australia based Executive KMP was primarily compared with matched executives from an ASX 50 peer group comprising 20 ASX50 companies where CSL approximates to the 50[th] percentile on market capitalisation.

Remuneration for US based Executive KMP was primarily compared with 16 international biomedical and pharmaceutical companies where CSL approximated to the 50[th] percentile on market capitalisation.

Short-term Incentives (STI)

The STI is a variable cash reward paid annually to Executive KMP who meet or exceed their agreed individual work-plan objectives. As outlined previously, CSL rates Executive KMP performance and awards STI on evidence that the Executive KMP has achieved stretching work plan objectives and dealt with unplanned challenges in a way that contributes to short-term results and to the long-term positioning of the Company. In addition to consideration of quantitative targets, the approach requires judgement to be exercised on how well the Executive KMP prioritised and met the year’s challenges in a complex business with many moving parts. The Board retains ultimate discretion over STI payments. CSL believes this method delivers appropriate and just outcomes, while minimising unintended consequences that may arise with a more formulaic method.

Page 11

Directors' Report

Currently the Board has discretion to cancel deferred STI awards and unvested LTI awards where the individual is found to have acted fraudulently. The awards applicable to the 2013 financial year will explicitly reference the Board’s discretion in relation to clawing back STI awards in the case of a material misstatement or other significant discovery which, had it been known at the time of the award, would have made a difference to the offer or the quantum of the award whether or not the individual KMP was involved or aware of the relevant events. In the event of CSL being faced with a material misstatement or similar situation the Board’s response and the actions taken will be detailed in the remuneration report.

Awards vary between 60-100% of the maximum opportunity dependent on individual performance. In the event that an Executive KMP does not meet the required performance to justify a 60% award, he or she receives zero. An average award level of 85% across the Executive KMP Group would be expected if the CSL Group achieves its planned financial outcomes in US dollars.

For Executive KMP, work-plan targets which are used to assess the individual’s STI award focus on:

  • quantifiable business outcomes relevant to the KMP’s area of accountability which taken collectively will deliver the Company’s operational result for the year;

  • delivery of relevant strategic milestones which are required for longer term growth; and

  • operational improvements and change initiatives which build a strong and sustainable business.

The diagram below illustrates how work-plans are structured.

Deferred Short Term Incentive (STI)

For the Managing Director and the five most senior executive KMP in 2013 (Mr Perreault, Mr Naylor, Dr Cuthbertson, Ms Sontrop and Dr Sieper), one-third of any awarded STI is deferred. The deferral operates as follows:

  • the deferred amount is divided by CSL Limited’s volume weighted share price during the last week of the entitlement year to give a number (‘A’); and

  • 3 years from the end of the entitlement year (or earlier at the Board’s discretion), the executive is entitled to the payment of a cash amount equivalent to ‘A’ multiplied by CSL Limited’s volume weighted share price during the last week immediately prior to the end of that 3-year period (or such earlier period as the Board may determine).

The deferred STI of Executive KMP lapses in the event of resignation however, in the case where an Executive KMP leaves the Company as a “Good Leaver”, the deferred portion will be settled at its due date in full.

Executive Deferred Incentive Plan (EDIP)

Equity linked deferred cash incentives may be offered at the discretion of the Board to selected Executive KMP each year under the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan (EDIP) which was introduced in 2010. The value of the grant is divided by the current share price to create a number of notional shares. These are converted to cash at the end of a 3 year vesting period (based on CSL Limited’s volume weighted average share price during the 5 trading days immediately preceding the vesting date).

The Board approved an allocation of equity linked cash settled awards for US-based Executive KMP in 2013 under the EDIP to bring US-based executives closer to market practice in the US where the remuneration mix typically includes a higher LTI component, part or all of which is in the form of equity which vests without application of business hurdles other than continued satisfactory service. EDIP awards will continue to be made on a selective basis where there are market or retention needs.

The value of the EDIP was tied to share price to align executive interests with those of shareholders.

The face value of awards (refer to Table 3) was divided by CSL Limited’s volume-weighted share price during the last week of the entitlement year to give a number of notional shares (‘A’). Three years from the end of the entitlement year, the executive is

1 The Australian dollar bonus awards during the year ended 30 June 2013 have been converted to US Dollars at an average exchange rate for the year.

Page 13

Directors' Report

entitled to the payment of a cash amount equivalent to the relevant number of notional shares (‘A’) multiplied by the volumeweighted share price during the last week immediately prior to the end of that 3-year period.

The deferred incentive will be forfeited if the executive resigns during the deferral period.

A “Good Leaver” policy applies to the EDIP. This policy allows that a proportion of the value will not lapse upon cessation of employment by a KMP in the case of voluntary retirement, bona fide redundancy, death or total and permanent disablement, mutually agreed separation to facilitate CSL’s succession transitions or for any other reason as determined by the Board in its discretion. Rewards paid under the “Good Leaver” policy will generally be pro-rated according to the proportion the period between the grant date and the employment end date represents of the total three-year deferral period. Any pro-rated awards will be paid out at the same time and on the same terms as the equivalent EDIP awards are paid out for executives who remain in employment during the full three-year deferral period.

The allocation under the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan for Executive KMP in 2013 was as follows:

Long-term Incentives - Performance Rights and Performance Options

Long-term incentives are offered each year at the discretion of the Board in the form of Performance Rights and/or Performance Options delivered under the CSL Performance Rights Plan (PRP), which has been operating since 2003 with periodic changes to the PRP Rules.

In the 2013 year, long-term incentives in the form of Performance Rights were offered to all Executive KMP and to 12 other Senior Executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above. The grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director in 2013 is in accordance with the resolution approved by shareholders for grants to Executive Directors at the 2010 annual general meeting.

Performance Rights are issued for nil cash consideration and entitle the holder to subscribe for one share in CSL Limited for nil consideration when they vest. The grant of Performance Rights is evenly split into two tranches with, respectively, 3-year and 4- year vesting periods. At the end of a vesting period, an assessment is made as to whether or not the performance hurdles have been met. Fifty percent of the Performance Rights in each tranche are subject to an EPS performance hurdle (see Table 4 for details); the other fifty percent is subject to a relative TSR performance hurdle (also see Table 4). Where the applicable performance hurdles are met, vesting occurs and the Performance Rights may be exercised by the executive holding them at any time from then until the rights expire seven years from the date of their initial grant (subject to compliance with CSL’s insider trading rules).

Performance Rights that do not vest at the initial 3-year or 4-year performance tests will be re-tested once. The re-test recognises that CSL’s results may be impacted in the short term by factors contributing to volatility over which executives have little control.

Rights will only vest on re-test to the extent that performance over the extended re-test period exceeds that at which vesting was achieved over the initial performance period. This means that re-testing will only provide a benefit to executives if performance over the additional 12 months of the re-test period is at a higher level than that required for vesting over the original testing period. The opportunity for re-testing on this basis provides a clear performance incentive for management and avoids a cliff effect at the end of the vesting initial period. Any Performance Rights that do not vest at the single re-test opportunity will lapse.

Page 14

Directors' Report

The “Good Leaver” policy allows that a proportion of unvested LTI Performance Rights will not lapse upon cessation of employment in the case of voluntary retirement, bona fide redundancy, death or total and permanent disablement, mutually agreed separation to facilitate CSL’s succession transitions or any other reason as determined by the Board in its discretion. The number of Performance Rights for which rewards are paid under the “Good Leaver” policy will generally be pro-rated reflecting the period of service between the grant date and the employment end date. “Good Leaver” awards will generally be paid out at the same date and against the same business hurdles as the equivalent LTI grants of executives who remain in ongoing employment.

In 2013, the Board determined a maximum allocation value for the LTI grants of A$8.7 million to all Executive KMP and to 12 other Senior Executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above. The value which may ultimately be realised from these awards is dependent upon CSL’s performance and its future share price. In accordance with Board Policy, Executive KMP and Senior Executives are not permitted, either by hedging or any other method, to limit their exposure to risk in relation to any share based equity rewards. From time to time, the Company Secretary makes inquiries of Executive KMP as to their compliance with this policy.

The 2013 LTI grant for each Executive KMP was based on a percentage of the executive’s fixed remuneration that rises with job weight, as noted in Table 5 below.

  • The number of performance rights is calculated based on an assessment of the fair market value of the instruments in accordance with the accounting standards (refer Note 27 in the Financial Statements).

Prior to October 2012, LTI grants in the 2011 and 2012 years were made in the form of Performance Rights and Performance Options. Performance Rights were issued for nil cash consideration and entitle the holder to subscribe for one share in CSL limited for nil consideration when they vest. Performance Options were also issued for nil consideration and, when they vest, entitle the holder to acquire one share in CSL Limited at a purchase price equivalent to CSL Limited’s volume weighted average share price in the week immediately prior to the date of grant.

Key features of grants under the PRP in 2011 and 2012 years included:

  • Subject to performance hurdles being satisfied, vesting of 50% of the LTI award will occur after 3 years, with the remaining 50% vesting after the 4[th] anniversary of the award date;

  • The mix of long-term incentives was 80% Performance Rights and 20% Performance Options;

  • EPS and TSR measures (see Table 15) are applied to both Performance Rights and Performance Options;

  • Each tranche of Performance Rights and Performance Options will have one re-test opportunity in the event that performance hurdles are not met at the first testing date. If the performance hurdles are not met on the re-test dates the instruments lapse; and

  • The “Good Leaver” policy allows that all unvested LTI Performance Rights and Performance Options will not lapse upon cessation of employment in the case of voluntary retirement, bona fide redundancy, death or total and permanent disablement, mutually agreed separation to facilitate CSL’s succession transitions or any other reason as determined by the Board in its discretion. The number of Performance Rights and Performance Options for which rewards are paid under the “Good Leaver” policy will generally be pro-rated reflecting the period of service between the grant date and the employment end date. “Good Leaver” awards will generally be paid out at the same date and against the same business hurdles as the equivalent LTI grants of executives who remain in ongoing employment.

The key characteristics and terms and conditions of Performance Rights and Performance Options granted between 2007 and 2010 inclusive are summarised in Table 16.

Vesting outcomes for Performance Rights and Performance Options that reached their vesting date in 2013 are shown in Table 6.

LTI Business Performance Hurdles

Two performance hurdles are used to assess whether or not Performance Rights and Performance Options vest at the testing dates.

(i) Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

Total Shareholder Return measures growth in shareholder value – essentially movement in share price plus dividends (assuming reinvestment) – over the period between grant date and vesting date (or re-test date where applicable).

In 2013 the CSL Board adopted a new form of relative TSR measure which better reflects CSL’s position as a company whose competitors are others in the global pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Performance Rights granted in 2013 that are subject to a

Page 16

Directors' Report

relative TSR hurdle vest according to CSL’s TSR performance over the relevant performance period, compared with the TSR performance of an international index of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, specifically, the MSCI Gross Pharmaceuticals Index (the “Index”). Performance Rights dependent on the relative TSR performance hurdle will vest in full if CSL’s TSR over the relevant performance period exceeds the performance of the Index over the relevant performance period. None of the Performance Rights dependent on the relative TSR performance hurdle will vest if CSL’s TSR over the relevant performance period does not exceed the performance of the Index over the relevant performance period.

Performance Rights and Performance Options granted in 2011 and 2012 that are subject to a relative TSR hurdle vest according to CSL’s TSR performance over the relevant performance period, compared with the TSR performance of the companies in the ASX100 index at grant date (excluding commercial banks, oil and gas and metals and mining companies) over the same period. If by a test date, a peer group company has been de-listed due to a merger, both pre- and post-merger entities are excluded from the peer group, along with any other de-listed entities. Performance Rights and Performance Options subject to a TSR hurdle will only start to vest when CSL’s TSR over the relevant performance period is at least equal to the TSR of the company which is at the 50[th] percentile of the comparator group, ranked by TSR performance.

(ii) Basic Earnings per Share (EPS)

In 2013 the CSL Board adjusted the EPS measure to create a graduated vesting scale. Performance Rights granted in 2013 that are subject to an EPS hurdle vest on a graduated vesting scale with 50% vesting at 8% EPS compound growth per annum through to 100% vesting at or above 12% EPS compound growth per annum. None of the Performance Rights dependent on the EPS performance hurdle will vest if CSL’s compound EPS growth per annum is below 8%. This is measured from 30 June in the financial year preceding a grant of Performance Rights or Performance Options until 30 June in the financial year prior to the relevant test date. The Board may use its discretion to adjust the EPS used for performance measurement purposes to exclude the profit and loss impact attributable to significant events or transactions.

Performance Rights and Performance Options granted in 2011 and 2012 that are subject to an EPS hurdle vest where CSL Limited achieves a compound EPS growth per annum of 10% or greater. This is measured from 30 June in the financial year preceding a grant of Performance Rights or Performance Options until 30 June in the financial year prior to the relevant test date. The Board may adjust the EPS used for performance measurement purposes to exclude the profit and loss impact attributable to significant events or transactions. In the past, adjustments have been made in respect of the contingent payment relating to the acquisition of Aventis Behring and profit after tax upon disposal of JRH Biosciences, the cancelled Talecris acquisition and the sales of H1N1 vaccines.

The Board will primarily consider the extent to which the Company has met the hurdles applicable to a grant of performance rights and performance options but retains discretion in approving the vesting of performance rights and performance options having considered a range of parameters and measures of the underlying operational performance and growth of the Company.

Cap on Issue of Equity to Employees

The PRP Rules approved by shareholders at the 2003 Annual General Meeting require that, at any point in time, the aggregate number of CSL shares that:

  • have previously been issued to employees under the Company’s employee equity plans and which remain subject to the rules of the relevant plan (e.g. a disposal restriction); and

  • would be issued if all outstanding share options under such plans (whether or not vested at the time) were to be exercised,

must not exceed 7.5% of the total number of CSL shares on issue at that time.

As at 30 June 2013, the aggregate number of CSL shares under (a) and (b) above was 0.84% of the total number of CSL shares on issue.

In addition, to satisfy a condition of the exemption granted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission from certain prospectus and licensing laws, CSL must ensure that, at the time of each offer of shares or share options under an employee equity plan, the aggregate number of CSL shares which are:

  • the subject of outstanding offers of shares or share options to, or outstanding share options held by employees in Australia; and

  • issued to employees in Australia under the Company’s equity plans in the 5 year period preceding the offer.

in each case, after disregarding offers to or holdings of exempt offer recipients, must not exceed 5% of the total number of CSL shares on issue at the time of the offer.

Directors' Report

Relationship between Company Performance and Executive KMP Remuneration

The Company’s remuneration framework aims to incentivise Executive KMP towards growth, sustainability of the business, and the creation of shareholder value in the short and the long term. This is seen in two ways:

  • Cash Short-Term Incentives, whether paid immediately or deferred, depend on performance and outcomes for the completed performance year (as explained on page 11).

  • Long-Term Incentives, in the form of performance rights, are linked to average annual compound growth in EPS (adjusted for significant one off events) and relative TSR performance. This is explained further on page 16.

Earnings per share (EPS) and relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) as shown below are proxies for creation of shareholder value. However, these measures are not able to capture the difference in value creation for Australian and international shareholders arising from currency movements and the global nature of CSL’s business.

The company’s EPS over the last five years is displayed in the graph below.

  • In the above graph, the EPS used for performance management purposes has been adjusted to exclude the profit and loss impact attributable to the following significant events and transactions:

  • 2009 financial year excluded the favourable NPAT impact of A$79m (or A$0.133 per share) arising from the termination of the Talecris acquisition; and

  • 2010 financial year excluded the favourable NPAT impact of A$122m (orA$0. 215 per share) attributable to H1N1 pandemic influenza sales.

Employment Contracts

Non-Executive Directors

There are no specific employment contracts with Non-Executive Directors. Non-Executive Directors are appointed under a letter of appointment and are subject to ordinary election and rotation requirements as stipulated in the ASX Listing Rules and CSL Limited’s constitution.

Executive KMP (including Executive Directors)

The Managing Director and Executive KMP are employed under individual service contracts. The service contract outlines terms of employment, including fixed remuneration. The potential short-term incentive may be stipulated in the contract or be governed by the Company’s remuneration policy which sets out the level applicable to various seniority levels. The award of short-term or long-term incentives remains at the discretion of the Board.

Employment contracts for Executive KMP do not have a fixed term. The contracts may be terminated by the Company or the Executive by giving 6 months notice. An Executive KMP’s employment may be terminated without notice and without payment in lieu in the event of serious misconduct and/or breach of contract. On termination by the Company for other reasons, including redundancy, an Executive KMP is entitled to 6 months notice and to receive 12 months salary (excluding non-cash benefits). New contracts from November 2009 explicitly limit termination payments in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, as amended in 2009, unless shareholder approval is sought to exceed those limits.

Chief Executive Officer End of Service Arrangements

In August 2012, the CSL Chairman announced that Dr Brian McNamee had agreed with the Board of Directors the timing of the handover to his successor as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. Dr McNamee ceased employment as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director on 30 June 2013 but will continue in an advisory capacity to the Board until 15 October 2013. It has been mutually agreed that his active remunerated service during this period will be limited to a maximum of ten days with the remainder of the remuneration being taken from his existing leave entitlements.

Dr McNamee’s end-of-service entitlements are payable in the 2014 year in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2011 , as amended. This would normally include pro-ration of unvested long term incentives under the Company’s “Good Leaver” arrangements, however, in view of Dr. McNamee’s exceptional period of service as Chief Executive Officer and the degree of shareholder value generated under his leadership, the Board believes that the circumstances merit special treatment. Therefore, the Board has determined to seek shareholder approval at the 2013 Annual General Meeting to enable unvested long term incentives granted and reported in the period 2010-2012 to be settled in full at their future vesting date, subject to the performance criteria being satisfied. Full details of Dr McNamee’s arrangements are detailed in the footnotes to Table 9.

Advisers to the HRRC

The Board and HRRC engage the services of independent consultants for the provision of market remuneration data and to advise on the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and Executive Key Management Personnel.

In 2013, Guerdon Associates was selected as the “Remuneration Consultant” to provide advice directly related to remuneration decisions for Executive KMP and as commissioned and instructed by the Chairman of the HRRC. The terms of engagement identify that all remuneration recommendations for the Executive KMP be sent directly to the HRRC through the Chairman and prohibit the Consultant from providing such material directly to CSL management. The terms of engagement also require that Guerdon Associates provide, with their report, a declaration of their independence from the KMPs to whom their recommendations relate, to ensure that the HRRC and Board may be satisfied that KMP remuneration advice and recommendations are made free from undue influence from CSL management generally and from KMPs specifically.

Guerdon Associates made no ‘remuneration recommendations’ as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 during the 2013 year.

  • 1 The Australian dollar compensation paid during the years ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2013 have been converted to US Dollars at an average exchange rate for the year. Both the amount of remuneration and any movement in comparison to prior years may be influenced by changes in the AUD/USD exchange rates.

  • 2 As disclosed in the section titled “Non-Executive Director Remuneration”, Non-Executive Directors participate in the NED Share Plan under which Non-Executive Directors are required to take at least 20% of their after-tax base fees (excluding superannuation guarantee contributions) in the form of shares in the Company which are purchased onmarket at prevailing share prices. The value of this remuneration element is included in cash, salary and fees.

  • 3 Retirement allowance paid to Ms Alexander upon her retirement as a Director under the Non-Executive Directors' Retirement Plan. For a summary of the residual application of that Plan, see the section on Non-Executive Directors' Remuneration above.

  • 4 Mr Turner received redundancy payments due under his contract paid upon termination.

  • 5 As announced to the ASX in June 2013, Dr McNamee is to receive a severance payment upon cessation of employment on 15 October 2013.

  • 6 The options and rights have been valued using a combination of the Binomial and Black Scholes option valuation methodologies as at the grant date adjusted for the probability of performance hurdles being achieved. This valuation was undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The amounts disclosed in remuneration have been determined by allocating the value of the options and performance rights evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As a result, the current year includes options that were granted in prior years.

  • 7 The fair value of the cash settled deferred payment (EDIP) has been measured by reference to the CSL share price at reporting date, adjusted for the dividend yield and the number of days left in the vesting period.

  • 8 In accordance with accounting standards, remuneration for Dr McNamee reflects the cost to the company as determined on an accruals basis. The proposed retention of certain Performance Rights and Performance Options by Dr McNamee, following his cessation of employment, is subject to shareholder approval under a resolution being put before the 2013 AGM. The company believes that the recognition criteria for the expense relating to any such retention have been met in respect of FY 2013, and accordingly the assessed current value of any such retention (being approx. $7 million) has been included in Dr McNamee's remuneration for (and expensed in) FY 2013.

  • 9 Mr Perreault was appointed Director on 13 February 2013. As Mr Perreault was considered a key management person prior to his appointment to Director in both the prior and current year, his remuneration covers the 12 month period ended 30 June 2013. To enable a comparison, remuneration earned by Mr Perreault in the prior year as a key management person has been reclassified and is now disclosed in Table 9.

  • 10 Mr Turner completed his assignment and returned to Australia in October 2011. He was an Executive Director until cessation of employment in October 2012.

  • 11 Appointed Chairman of the Board on 19 October 2011

  • 12 Mr Brook was appointed Director from 17 August 2011 and his remuneration in 2012 is referable to services rendered from that date until 30 June 2012.

  • 13 Retired from the Board on 19 October 2011.

1 Executive KMP remuneration details prepared in accordance with statutory requirements and Accounting Standards are presented in Tables 9 and 10 of this report.

2 2013 Fixed remuneration and STI paid in AUD converted to USD using 2013 average exchange rate. Total Fixed Remuneration in Table 11 is based on Total Employment Cost (TEC) for the relevant executive. This differs from the methodology to calculate “Cash Salary & Fees” used in Tables 9 and 10 due to the treatment of annual leave accrued and annual leave/long service leave taken during the financial year, and the separation of non salary sacrificed Superannuation benefits in a separate column. Table 9 and 10 adjust TEC for differences between leave accrued/taken and separates Superannuation. Table 11 ignores this timing difference for leave and the separation of Superannuation that occurs in Tables 9 and 10.

3 STI applicable to 2013 in Table 11 is equivalent to “Cash Bonus” in Tables 9 and 10.

4 Cash Settled Deferred STI in 2013 was recorded in the equivalent to Table 9 in 2009, the year in which it was awarded. Table 11 shows the amount paid during the year.

5 Rights vested during the year and Options (less exercise price) vested during the year, multiplied by the share price at the date of vesting. This differs from the amounts recorded as “Share Based Payments” in Tables 9 and 10. Tables 9 and 10 are prepared in accordance with accounting standards that require the fair value of each instrument to be determined and for the total value of each grant to be expensed over the vesting period. Tables 9 and 10 therefore include amounts related to multiple grants of LTI instruments, the majority of which will vest in future years. The LTI vested has been converted from AUD to USD using the 2013 average exchange rate.

6 Dr McNamee, Mr Perreault, Mr Naylor, Dr Cuthbertson, Dr Sieper and Ms Sontrop are entitled to an additional Deferred STI payment as per the terms outlined on page 13.

1 Cash incentives awarded and not awarded relate to the period ended 30 June 2013. All cash incentive amounts are payable in full shortly after the conclusion of the 30 June 2013 financial year with the exception of the component that is subject to deferred settlement for Dr McNamee, Mr Perreault, Mr Naylor, Dr Cuthbertson, Dr Sieper and Ms Sontrop.

2 The value of performance rights and performance options is determined at grant date and is then amortised over the applicable vesting period. The amounts included in the table above are consistent with this amortisation amount for 2013. 3 The value of the cumulative EDIP grants over 2011, 2012 and 2013 was re-calculated at reporting date and then amortised over the applicable vesting period. The amounts included in the table above are consistent with this amortisation amount for 2013.

4 The value at exercise date has been determined by the share price at the close of business on exercise date less the option/right exercise price (if any) multiplied by the number of options/rights exercised during 2013.

1. Corporate information

CSL Limited is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and limited by shares publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. This financial report covers the financial statements for the consolidated entity consisting of CSL Limited and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 14 August 2013.

A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities is included in the directors’ report.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for “available-for-sale” and “at fair value through profit or loss” financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), that have been measured at fair value.

Change in presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. The change in presentation currency from Australian Dollars to US Dollars represents a voluntary change in accounting policy which has been applied retrospectively. US Dollars are the pharmaceutical industry standard currency for reporting purposes. The move also reflects the predominance of the Company’s worldwide sales and operations in US Dollars.

This change has been applied on the basis as if Group had always reported in USD. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income has been converted to USD using the average exchange rate for the relevant period. The Balance Sheet to Net Assets (ie Current and Non-Current Assets as well as Current and Non-Current Liabilities) has been converted to USD using the exchange rate as of the relevant balance date. The Equity section of the Balance Sheet has been converted to USD using approximate historical exchange rates. As a consequence of the change in presentation currency an additional column has been added to the Balance Sheet and certain associated notes, this shows the USD balances at the commencement of the prior comparative period.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards 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 report are disclosed in note 1(ee).

Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.

Adoption of accounting standards

The group has adopted the following accounting standards that contained changes that became effective during the year relating to the presentation of Other Comprehensive Income: AASB 2011-9.

The amendments only resulted in a change in the presentation of Other Comprehensive Income and therefore did not result in a material change in the Group's financial result or the extent of other disclosures in the financial report.

(b) Principles of consolidation

  • i. Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CSL Limited and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all of those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared using consistent accounting policies and for the same reporting period as the Parent Company.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition.

  • ii. Employee share trust

The Group has formed a trust to administer the Group’s employee share scheme. This trust is consolidated as the substance of the relationship is that the trust is controlled by the Group.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments, as defined in note 2, are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer is considered to be the chief operating decision maker.

(d) Foreign currency translation

  • i. Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements of CSL Limited (the parent entity of the Group) are measured in Australian Dollars which is that entity’s functional currency (see Note 35).

  • ii. Presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. The change in presentation currency from Australian Dollars to US Dollars represents a voluntary change in accounting policy which has been applied retrospectively using the methodology outlined in Note 1(a).

  • iii. Translation and balances

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

  • iv. Group companies

The results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars at average exchange rates. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to US Dollars at exchange rates prevailing at balance date. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income and in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, as part of the gain on sale or loss on sale where applicable.

(e) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group recognises revenue when: the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.

  • i. Sales revenue

Sales revenue comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discounts and allowances) from the provision of products to buyers external to the Group. Sales revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.

ii. Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues (using the effective interest rate method).

iii. Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised as it accrues.

  • iv. Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive the payment is established.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to an expense item are deferred and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the expenses that they are intended to compensate. Government grants received for which there are no future related costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income immediately. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in current and non-current liabilities as deferred income and are released to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets.

(g) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

(h) Goods and Services Tax and other foreign equivalents (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from a taxation authority in which case it is recognised as part of an asset’s cost of acquisition 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, taxation authorities is included in other receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities that are recoverable from or payable to a taxation authority are presented as part of operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, a taxation authority.

(i) Income tax

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

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or deferred income tax liability is settled.

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to the same taxable entity or group and the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are also recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity, respectively.

CSL Ltd and its 100% owned Australian subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group effective from 1 July 2003.

(j) Cash, cash equivalents and bank overdrafts

Cash and cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. The balance sheet comprises cash on hand, at call deposits with banks or financial institutions and investments in money market instruments with original maturities of six months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In the balance sheet bank overdrafts are included within current interest bearing liabilities and borrowings. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash at the end of the financial year is net of bank overdraft amounts.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(k) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recorded at fair value and are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days from date of invoice. Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group may not be able to fully recover all amounts due according to the original terms. The amount of the allowance recognised is the difference between the receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows that may ultimately be recovered. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. When a trade receivable for which a provision for impairment has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the provision.

Other current receivables are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Non-current receivables are recognised and carried at amortised cost. They are non-interest bearing and have various repayment terms.

(l) Inventories

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct material and labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(m) Investments and other financial assets

The Group’s financial assets have been classified into one of the three categories noted below. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. The Group determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end when allowed and appropriate.

  • i. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. After initial recognition, assets in this category are carried at fair value. Gains and losses on financial assets held for trading are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when they arise.

  • ii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and are included in trade and other receivables in the balance sheet. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired.

  • iii. Available for sale investments

Available for sale investments, comprising principally marketable securities, are non-derivatives. They are included in non-current assets unless the Group intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated as available for sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. After initial recognition available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity security below its cost is considered to be an indicator that the securities may be impaired.

The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments with no active market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis; and option pricing models.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the date when the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to market prices. For investments that are not actively traded, fair values are determined using valuation techniques.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

These techniques include: using recent arm’s length transactions involving the same or substantially the same instruments as a guide to value, discounted cash flow analysis and various pricing models.

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(n) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of the combination. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. All other transaction costs are expensed. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, where material, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of the acquisition. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

(o) Property, plant and equipment

Land, buildings, capital work in progress and plant and equipment assets are recorded at historical cost less, where applicable, associated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Land and capital work in progress assets are not depreciated. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. Costs incurred subsequent to an asset’s acquisition, including the cost of replacement parts, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income when incurred.

Depreciable assets are depreciated using the method that best matches the utilisation of the asset over its useful economic life. For the majority of assets in the group the straight line method is used to allocate their cost, net of residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Buildings 5 – 40 years
Plant and equipment 3 – 15 years
Leasehold improvements 5 – 10 years

Certain assets are being depreciated using a diminishing value method over a period of 3 years as this method best matches the utilisation of these assets over their estimated useful economic life.

Assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals of items of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. Gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income when realised.

(p) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and other 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 may be impaired. Assets with finite lives are subject to amortisation and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.

(q) Leasehold improvements

The cost of improvements to leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement whichever is the shorter.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(r) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in interest bearing liabilities and borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(s) Goodwill and intangibles

  • i. Goodwill

  • On acquisition of another entity, the identifiable net assets acquired (including contingent liabilities assumed) are measured at their fair value. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration plus incidental expenses, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets, is brought to account as goodwill. Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

  • ii. Intangibles

  • Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.

  • iii. IT development and software

  • Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licences that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and service and direct payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 10 years. IT development costs include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following completion of technical feasibility and where the Group has the intention and ability to use the asset.

  • iv. Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any development expenditure recognised is amortised over the period of expected benefit from the related project.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(t) Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid. Trade and other creditors are non-interest bearing and have various repayment terms but are usually paid within 30 to 60 days of recognition.

(u) Interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings

Interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(v) Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments in the form of forward foreign currency contracts to hedge risks associated with foreign currency. Such derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

The Group also has external loans payable that have been designated as a hedge of its investment in foreign subsidiaries (net investment hedge). Gains or losses on the hedging instruments relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised directly in equity while any gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion, if any, are recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(w) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past transactions or events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions recognised reflect management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows required to settle the obligation at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

(x) Employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave, expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the current provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the 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 national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(y) Pension plans

The Group contributes to defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans for the benefit of all employees. Defined benefit pension plans provide defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Defined contribution plans receive fixed contributions from the Group and the Group’s legal and constructive obligation is limited to these contributions.

A liability or asset in respect of defined benefit pension plans is recognised in the balance sheet, and is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the pension fund’s assets at that date and any unrecognised past service cost. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from membership of the fund to the reporting date, calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

11

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in retained earnings as incurred.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension fund are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Future taxes that are funded by the entity and are part of the provision of the existing benefit obligation are taken into account in measuring the net liability or asset.

Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

(z) Share-based payment transactions

  • i. Equity-settled transactions

The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for rights over shares (equity settled transactions). There are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits, namely the ‘Senior Executive Share Ownership Plan and Employee Performance Rights Plan’ and the ‘Global Employee Share Plan’.

Under the ‘Senior Executive Share Ownership Plan and Employee Performance Rights Plan’, certain Group executives and employees are granted options or performance rights over CSL Limited shares which only vest if the Group and the individual achieve certain performance hurdles.

Under the ‘Global Employee Share Plan’, all employees are granted the option to acquire discounted CSL Limited shares.

The fair value of options or rights is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is independently measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options or rights. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a combination of the Binomial and Black Scholes valuation methodologies, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options and rights were granted. The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest.

At each reporting date, the number of options and rights that are expected to vest is revised. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate of the number of options and rights that are expected to vest. No expense is recognised for options and rights that do not ultimately vest, except where vesting is conditional upon a market condition and that market condition is not met.

ii. Cash-settled transactions

The Group also provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of cashsettled share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for cash, the amounts of which are determined by reference to movements in the price of the shares of CSL Limited.

The ultimate cost of these cash-settled transactions will be equal to the actual cash paid to the employees, which will be the fair value at settlement date.

The cumulative cost recognised until settlement is a liability and the periodic determination of this liability is as follows: (a) At each reporting date between grant and settlement, the fair value of the award is determined.

(b) During the vesting period, the liability recognised at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

(c) From the end of the vesting period until settlement, the liability recognised is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

  • (d) All changes in the liability are recognised in employee benefits expense for the period.

The fair value of the liability is determined by reference to the CSL Limited share price at reporting date, adjusted for the dividend yield and the number of days left in the vesting period.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(aa) Contributed equity / Share buy-back reserve

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where the Company reacquires its own shares, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid to acquire the shares, including any directly attributable transaction costs net of income taxes, is recognised directly as a reduction from equity.

(bb) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after 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 the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(cc) Dividends

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

(dd) New and revised standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new and revised accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the June 2013 reporting period. An assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

New Standards and Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards applicable from 1 July 2013: AASB 10, 12, 13, 119, 2012-2, 2012-5, 2012-9, 2011-4, 1053

This group of standards establish a new control model, introduce changes to the way in which joint arrangements are accounted for, change the disclosure of interest in other entities, introduce a single source of guidance for fair value measurement, introduce changes to accounting for employee benefits (in particular defined benefit pension plans) amend certain financial instruments disclosures and introduce a differential financial reporting framework.

New Standards and Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards applicable to subsequent financial years:

1 July 2014: AASB 2012-3, Interpretation 21 (Levies)

This standard adds application guidance to AASB132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. Interpretation 21 confirms the point at which certain liabilities should be recognised.

1 July 2015: AASB 9

This standard includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. These requirements improve and simplify the approach when compared to AASB139.

On the date of their respective first time application, the amended standards are not expected to result in a material change to the manner in which the Group's financial result is determined or upon the extent of disclosures included in future financial reports.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(ee) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

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 and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within subsequent financial years are discussed below.

  • i. Testing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment

On an annual basis, the Group determines whether goodwill and its indefinitely lived intangible assets are impaired in accordance with the accounting policy described in note 1(s). In the context of goodwill allocated to specific cash generating units, this requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units using a value in use discounted cash flow methodology. In the context of indefinite lived intangible assets, this requires an estimation of the discounted net cash inflows that may be generated through the use or sale of the intangible asset. The assumptions used in estimating the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are detailed in note 12.

  • ii. Income taxes

Judgements are required about the application of income tax legislation in jurisdictions in which the Group operates. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the balance sheet. In such circumstances an adjustment to the carrying value of a deferred tax item will result in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of comprehensive income.

  • iii. Trade and other receivables

Government or Government backed entities, such as hospitals, often account for a significant proportion of the aggregate trade receivable balances attributable to the various countries in which the Group operates. In particular countries, most notably Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal, there is some heightened uncertainty as to the timeframe in which trade receivables are likely to be recovered from Government and Government related entities and/or the amount likely to be recovered from them due to heightened concerns over sovereign risk. Accordingly, in applying the Group’s accounting policy in respect to trade and other receivables as set out in note 1(k), and particularly in respect to debts owed by Government and Government related entities in these countries, significant judgement is involved in first assessing whether or not trade or other receivable amounts are impaired and thereafter in assessing the extent of impairment.

  • 2 Segment Information

Description of Segments

Reportable segments are:

  • CSL Behring – manufactures, markets and develops plasma therapies (plasma products and recombinants).

  • bioCSL - manufactures and distributes non-plasma biotherapeutic products.

  • CSL Intellectual Property – revenue and associated expenses from the licensing of Intellectual Property generated by the Group to unrelated third parties and Research & Development expenses on projects where the company has yet to determine the ultimate commercialisation strategy.

Geographical areas of operation

The Group operates predominantly in four specific geographic areas, namely Australia, the United States of America, Switzerland, and Germany. The rest of the Group’s operations are spread across many countries and are collectively disclosed as ‘Rest of World’ in note 2.

Segment Accounting Policies

Inter-segment sales are carried out on an arm’s length basis and reflect current market prices. Segment accounting policies are the same as the Group’s policies described in note 1. During the financial year, there were no changes in segment accounting policies.

Restatement of prior year comparables

The company undertook an internal reorganisation of its Australian business with effect from 1 January 2013. With effect from that date the Australian plasma operations of the company were integrated with CSL Behring and bioCSL was established as a standalone business focussing on the manufacturing and supply of biotherapeutic products. Previously both operations had been components of the Other Human Health segment.

The final component of the Other Human Health segment was Research & Development expenses on projects where the company has yet to determine the ultimate commercialisation strategy. Expenses relating to these projects are now included in the new segment “CSL Intellectual Property”. This new segment incorporates income generated by the Group from the commercialisation of intellectual property with unrelated third parties. This was previously reported in the Intellectual Property segment.

The new definition has been applied to the full financial year ended 30 June 2012 as if the changes in structure had been effective from 1 July 2011, this has been done to facilitate comparability over multiple reporting periods.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivable disclosed above. Refer to note 34 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of trade receivables.

(i) Past due but not impaired and impaired trade receivables

As at 30 June 2013, the Group had current trade receivables which were impaired and had a nominal value of $40.9m (2012: $46.2m). These receivables have been provided for within the Group’s provisions for impairment loss. Amounts charged to the provision account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash. Movements in the provision for impairment loss are reconciled as follows:

Opening balance at 1 July 46.2 24.6
Additional allowance/(utilised/written back) (7.2) 26.5
Currencytranslation differences 1.9 (4.9)
Closingbalance at 30 June 40.9 46.2

Debts which are past due and not impaired are set out in the credit risk analysis in note 34.

(ii) Other receivables

The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired or overdue receivable amounts and it is expected that all of these amounts will be received when due. The Group does not hold any collateral in respect to other receivable balances.

Impairment tests for cash generating units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the business unit which represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are as follows:


amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are as follows:
CSL Behring 676.3 669.9
CSL Intellectual Property 11.2 12.3
Closingbalance ofgoodwill as at 30 June 687.5 682.2

The impairment tests for these cash generating units are based on value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on actual operating results and the three-year strategic business plan, after which a terminal value is calculated based on a business valuation multiple. The valuation multiple has been calculated based on independent external analyst views, long term government bond rates and the company’s pre-tax cost of debt. Projected cash flows have been discounted by using the implied pre-tax discount rate 9.5% (2012: 8.9%) associated with the business valuation multiple discussed above. Each unit’s recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, inclusive of goodwill. It is not considered a reasonable possibility for a change in assumptions to occur that would lead to a unit’s recoverable amount falling below the carrying value of each unit’s respective net assets.

Restructuring

A restructuring provision is recognised when the main features of the restructuring are planned. Restructuring plans must set out the businesses, locations and approximate number of employees affected and the expenditures that will be undertaken, together with an implementation timetable. There must be a demonstrable commitment and valid expectation in those affected that the restructuring plan will be implemented prior to a provision being recognised.

Onerous contracts

The provision recognised is based on the excess of the estimated cash flows to meet the unavoidable costs, over the estimated cash flows to be received in relation to certain contracts, having regard to the risks of the activities relating to the contracts. During the financial year the final onerous contract matter relating to the acquisition of Aventis Behring was resolved in the Company’s favour. Accordingly the provision is no longer required and has been reversed.

Discounting

Where the effect of discounting is determined to be material to the provision, the net estimated cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Nature and purpose of reserves

  • (i) Share based payments reserve

The share based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options, performance rights and global employee share plan rights issued to employees.

(ii) Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations and exchange gains and losses arising on those foreign currency borrowings which are designated as hedging the Company’s net investment in foreign operations.

(iii) Available-for-sale investments reserve

Changes in the fair value and exchange differences arising on translation of investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, as described in note 1(m) and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. Amounts are reclassified to profit and loss when the associated assets are sold or impaired.

recommended the payment of a final dividend of US$0.52 per share, unfranked
(2012: ordinary dividend of Australian A$0.47 per share, unfranked). The final
dividend is expected to be paid on 4 October 2013. Based on the number of

2 Plan assets at net market value and accrued benefits have been calculated at 30 June, being the date of the most recent financial statements of the plans.

In addition to the above, CSL Behring GmbH employees are members of two multi-employer pension plans (“Penka 1” and “Penka 2”) administered by an unrelated third party. CSL Behring and the employees make contributions to the plans and receive pension entitlements on retirement. CSL is aware that there is the potential for the employer to have to make additional contributions in the event that the multi-employer fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all benefits. There is insufficient information available for the scheme to be shown at the CSL Group level because the pension assets cannot be split between the participating companies. The company’s contributions are advised by the funds and are designed to cover expected liabilities based on actuarial assumptions. CSL Behring GmbH contribute 400% of the employee contribution to Penka 1 from 1 January 2013, previously the rate was 300% of the employee contribution (2013: €4.5m, 2012: €3.9m) and 100% of the employee contribution to Penka 2 (2013: €0.6m, 2012: €0.4m), Until the change in contribution rate for Penka 1 neither of these contribution rates has changed since 2007. Contributions are expensed in the year in which they are made.

  • (b) Defined contribution plans

The Group makes contributions to various defined contribution pension plans. The amounts recognised as an expense for the year ended 30 June 2013 was $23.5m (2012: $19.8m).

(b) Share based payment schemes

The Company operates the following schemes that entitles key management personnel and senior employees to purchase shares in the Company under and subject to certain conditions:

Senior Executive Share Ownership Plan (SESOP II)

The SESOP II plan was approved by special resolution at the annual general meeting of the Company on 20 November 1997. The plan governed the provision of share based long term incentives in the form of options issued between 1997 and 1 July 2003 inclusive. There have been no SESOP II options issued since July 2003. Other than those which lapsed, all SESOP II options vested in earlier financial years following the achievement of a 7% compound growth in earnings per share over their vesting period. All SESOP II options which were capable of vesting have now been exercised. The price payable on exercise of SESOP II options equalled the weighted average price over the 5 days preceding the issue date of the options. Upon request, interest bearing loans were available to employees to fund the exercise of their SESOP II options. At 30 June 2013, no loans remain outstanding.

Employee Performance Rights Plan (the plan)

The Employee Performance Rights Plan was approved by special resolution at the annual general meeting of the Company on 16 October 2003.

Share based long term incentives issued between October 2003 and April 2006

The plan, as originally approved, governed the provision of share based long term incentives in the form of performance rights issued between 16 October 2003 and 6 April 2006 inclusive. Other than those which lapsed, all performance rights issued under the original plan vested prior to 30 June 2009. Vesting of the performance rights was contingent on the Company achieving a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) which was at or above the 50th percentile relative to the TSR of a peer group of companies comprising those entities within the ASX top 100 index by market capitalisation (excluding companies with the GICS industry codes of commercial banks, oil and gas and metals and mining). The original plan provided for vesting of 50% of the rights if the Company was ranked at the 50th percentile of TSR performance and for 100% of the rights to vest if the Company was placed at or above the 75th percentile. Relative TSR performance between the 50th and 75th percentile resulted in the proportion of performance rights that vested increasing on a straightline basis. Vested performance rights which are exercised entitle the holder to one ordinary share for nil consideration.

Share based long term incentives issued between May 2006 and October 2009

The Employee Performance Rights Plan was amended with effect from October 2006. Under the amended plan, share based long term incentives issued between October 2006 and October 2009 comprise grants made to executives of both performance rights and performance options, each subject to a different performance hurdle. Each long-term incentive grant generally consisted of 50% performance rights and 50% performance options. Grants of performance rights and performance options were issued for nil consideration. The plan, as amended, retained the TSR performance hurdle and provided for 100% vesting of performance rights at the expiration of their vesting period if the Company’s TSR performance was at or above the 50th percentile on the relevant test date. Under the revised plan, performance options were subject to an earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdle. 10% compound EPS growth per annum is required for the performance options to vest at the expiration of their vesting period. EPS growth is measured from 30 June in the financial year preceding the grant of options until 30 June in the financial year prior to the relevant test date. Vested performance options entitle the holder to one ordinary share on payment of an exercise price equal to the volume weighted average CSL share price over the week up to and including the date of grant. Performance rights and performance options issued between October 2006 and October 2009 were issued for a term of seven years. A portion, namely 25%, of the number of instruments granted becomes exercisable, subject to satisfying the relevant performance hurdle, after the second anniversary of the date of grant. Again, subject to satisfying the relevant performance hurdle, further portions of 35% and 40% of the number of instruments granted become exercisable after the third and fourth anniversaries post date of grant, respectively. If the portion tested at the applicable anniversary meets the relevant performance hurdle, that portion of rights and options vest and become exercisable until the expiry date. If the portion tested fails to meet the performance hurdle the portion is carried over to the next anniversary and retested. After the fifth anniversary, any performance rights and performance options not vested lapse. Importantly, there is an individual employee hurdle requiring an executive to obtain for the financial year prior to exercise of the Performance Rights and Performance Options, a satisfactory (or equivalent) rating under the Company’s performance management system. The last grant of performance rights and options to be issued on these terms was in October 2009.

(b) Share based payment schemes (continued)

Share based long term incentives issued between October 2010 and October 2011

Changes were made to the terms and conditions and key characteristics of Performance Rights and Performance Options granted since October 2010 and the number of employees who received grants was reduced following the introduction of the Employee Deferred Incentive Plan. Employees receiving a grant under the Plan received 80% of their entitlement in Performance Rights and 20% in Performance Options. Subject to performance hurdles being satisfied vesting of 50% of the LTI award will occur after 3 years, with the remaining 50% vesting after the 4th anniversary of the award date. EPS and TSR measures are applied to both Performance Rights and Performance Options as detailed in the Remuneration Report.

Company provided loans are not available to fund the exercise of performance options under the plan.

Share based long term incentives issued since October 2012

Prior to October 2012, LTI grants in October 2010 and 2011 were made up in the form of Performance Rights and Performance Options. Changes were made to the plan in October 2012 with LTI grants to be made up of solely Performance Rights. The hurdles for this and future grants will be set and measured in US Dollars in line with our reporting currency. Subject to performance hurdles being satisfied vesting of 50% of the LTI award will occur after 3 years, with the remaining 50% vesting after the 4th anniversary of the award date. The main changes were the adjustment to graduated vesting for the compound EPS hurdle and the move to measuring relative TSR through comparison with an international index of Pharma and Biotech companies rather than using an ASX comparator group.

Global Employee Share Plan (GESP)

The ‘Global Employee Share Plan’ (GESP) operates whereby employees make contributions from after tax salary up to a maximum of A$3,000 per each six month contribution period. The employees receive the shares at a 15% discount to the applicable market rate, as quoted on the ASX on the first day or the last day of the six month contribution period, whichever is lower.

Executive Deferred Incentive Plan (EDIP)

On 1 October 2012, 418,200 notional shares were granted to employees under the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan (2012: 584,400). This plan provides for a grant of notional shares which will generate a cash payment to participants in three years time, provided they are still employed by the company and receive a satisfactory performance review over that period. The amount of the cash payment will be determined by reference to the CSL share price immediately before the three year anniversary.

As noted above, the exercise price at which GESP plan shares are issued is calculated at a 15% discount to the lower of the ASX market price on the first and last dates of the contribution period. Accordingly the exercise price and the final number of shares issued is not yet known (and may differ from the assumptions and fair values disclosed below). The number of shares which may ultimately be issued based on entitlements granted on 1 March 2013 has been estimated based on information available as at 30 June 2013.

The weighted average share price at the dates of exercise, by equity instrument type, is as follows:

Options A$48.46
Performance Rights A$50.10
GESP A$50.84

1 Options and rights granted are subject to a service condition. Option grants made between 2006 and 2009 are also subject to a non-market vesting condition based on earnings per share (EPS). Service conditions and non-market conditions are not taken into account in the determination of fair value at grant date. Contrastingly, grants of rights made between 2006 and 2009 are also subject to a market vesting condition based on total shareholder returns (TSR), a condition which is taken into account when the fair value of rights is determined. However as a result of the comprehensive review carried out on the PRP, since October 2010 grants of Performance Rights and Options now consist of a market vesting condition TSR hurdle and a non market vesting condition EPS hurdle equally applied to each grant.

2 The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the remaining life assumption of each equity instrument), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

28 Key management personnel disclosures (continued)

The assumptions inherent in the valuation of performance rights granted to key management personnel, amongst others, during the financial year and the fair value of each option granted are set out in Note 27(d).

No performance rights have been granted since the end of the financial year. The performance rights have been provided at no cost to the recipients.

Modification of terms of equity-settled share-based payment transactions

During the reporting period there have been no changes to the terms pertaining to issues of options, performance options and performance rights which have been granted as compensation to a key management person in the prior periods and in the current period. A resolution will be presented to the AGM in October 2013 relating to a variation in the terms of Dr McNamee’s “good leaver” arrangements. This constitutes a modification to the terms of a prior grant. The Company has included the associated expense in the 2013 accounts, but recognises that shareholders have not had an opportunity to vote on the resolution as at the date of this report.

(e) Exercise of equity instruments granted as compensation

During the reporting period, the following shares were issued on the exercise of options granted as compensation:

(h) Cash Settled Options granted as compensation to Key management personnel

For further details, including key terms and conditions, grant date and exercise dates regarding the EDIP, refer to Note 27 (b) and (e).

31 Commitments and contingencies (continued) Service agreements The maximum contingent liability for benefits under service agreements, in the event of an involuntary redundancy, is between 3 to 12 months. Agreements are held with key management personnel who take part in the management of Group entities. The maximum liability that could arise, for which no provisions are included in the financial statements is as follows:

The Group is involved in litigation in the U.S. claiming that the Group and a competitor, along with an industry trade association, conspired to restrict output and fix and raise prices of certain plasma-derived therapies in the U.S. The lawsuits, filed by representative plaintiffs, seek status to proceed as class actions on behalf of “all others similarly situated”. The Group believes the litigation is unsupported by fact and without merit and will robustly defend the claims.

The Group is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business.

The directors believe that future payment of a material amount in respect of litigation is remote. The Group has disclaimed liability for, and is vigorously defending, all current material claims and actions that have been made.

33 Deed of Cross Guarantee

On 22 October 2009, a deed of cross guarantee was executed between CSL Limited and some of its wholly owned entities, namely CSL International Pty Ltd, CSL Finance Pty Ltd, CSL Biotherapies Pty Ltd and Zenyth Therapeutics Pty Ltd. During the year bioCSL Pty Ltd, CSL Behring (Australia) Pty Ltd and CSL Behring (Privigen) Pty Ltd were added to the deed. Under this deed, each company guarantees the debts of the others. By entering into the deed, these specific wholly owned entities have been relieved from the requirement to prepare a financial report and directors’ report under Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The entities that are parties to the deed represent a ‘Closed Group’ for the purposes of the Class Order, and as there are no other parties to the Deed of Cross Guarantee that are controlled by CSL Limited they also represent the ‘Extended Closed Group’. In respect to the Closed Group comprising the aforementioned entities, set out below is a consolidated income statement and a summary of movements in consolidated retained profits for the year ended 30 June 2013 and a consolidated balance sheet as at that date.

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

  • 34 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans and overdrafts, unsecured notes, lease liabilities, available for sale assets and derivative instruments.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s policy is to use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage specifically identified risks as approved by the board of directors. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security. The accounting policy applied by the Group in respect to derivative financial instruments is outlined in note 1(v). Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. 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 and foreign exchange risks.

Market Risk

1. Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The Group’s Treasury risk management policy is to hedge contractual commitments denominated in a foreign currency.

The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at predetermined exchange rates. The objective is to match the contracts with committed future cash flows from sales and purchases in foreign currencies to protect the Group against exchange rate movements. Contracts to buy and sell foreign currencies are entered into from time to time to offset purchase and sale obligations in order to maintain a desired hedge position.

34 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)

The table below summarises by currency the US dollar value of forward exchange agreements at balance date. Foreign currency amounts are translated at rates prevailing at reporting date. Entities in the group enter into forward contracts to hedge foreign currency receivables from other entities within the Group. These receivables are eliminated on consolidation, however, the hedges are in place to protect the entities from movements in exchange rates that would give rise to a profit or loss impact.

1 US Dollar hedge contracts are in place in Group entities with functional currencies other than US Dollars.

The Group reduces its foreign exchange risk on net investments in foreign operations, by denominating external borrowings in currencies that match the currencies of its foreign investments.

There was no ineffectiveness recognised on this hedging during the year.

2. Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through primary financial assets and liabilities. In accordance with the Group entities approved risk management policies, derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps are used to hedge interest rate risk exposures. As at 30 June 2013, no derivative financial instruments hedging interest rate risk were outstanding (2012: Nil).

The following tables summarise interest rate risk for financial assets and financial liabilities, the effective interest rates as at balance date and the periods in which they reprice.

Sensitivity analysis

In managing interest rate and currency risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group’s earnings. However, over the longer-term, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates would give rise to a Group statement of comprehensive income impact.

At 30 June 2013 it is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the interest rates applicable to investments of cash and cash equivalents would have changed the Group’s profit after tax by approximately $5.3m. This calculation is based on applying a 1% movement to the total of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents at year end. All other financial asset amounts are subject to fixed rate and therefore not subject to interest rate movements in the ordinary course.

At 30 June 2013 it is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the interest rates applicable to floating rate unsecured bank loans would have changed the Group’s profit after tax by approximately $2.5m. This calculation is based on applying a 1% movement to the total of the Group’s unsecured bank loans at year end. All other interest bearing debt amounts are subject to fixed rate and therefore not subject to interest rate movements in the ordinary course.

It is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the value of the US Dollar against other currencies would change the Group’s profit after tax by approximately $3.8m for the year ended 30 June 2013 comprising $2.2m and $1.6m against the Euro and Swiss Franc respectively. This calculation is based on changing the actual exchange rate of US Dollars to all other currencies during the year by 1% and applying these adjusted rates to the translation of the foreign currency denominated financial statements of various Group entities.

It is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the value of the US Dollar against other currencies would change the Group’s equity by approximately $32.4m as at 30 June 2013 comprising $6.9m, $13.3m, $12.2m against the Euro, Swiss Franc and Australian Dollar respectively. The change in equity would be recorded in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve. This calculation is based on changing the actual exchange rate of US Dollars to all other currencies as at 30 June 2013 by 1% and applying these adjusted rates to the net assets excluding investments in subsidiaries of the foreign currency denominated financial statements of various Group entities. Australian Dollars is material to equity as a result of the assets, including cash, held by Australian Dollar denominated entities but is not material to profit & loss.

These sensitivity estimates may not apply in future years due to changes in the mix of profits derived in different currencies and in the Group’s net debt levels.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the extent of credit related losses that the Group may be subject to on amounts to be exchanged under financial instruments contracts or the amount receivable from trade and other debtors. Management has established policies to monitor and limit the exposure to credit risk on an on-going basis.

Transactions involving derivative financial instruments are with counterparties with whom the Group has a signed netting agreement as well as sound credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The Group’s policy is to only invest its cash and cash equivalent financial assets with financial institutions having a credit rating of at least ‘A’ or better, as assessed by independent rating agencies.

The Group minimises the credit risks associated with trade and other debtors by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers in various countries. Entities in the Group undertake a review of the credit worthiness of customers, prior to granting credit, using trade references and credit reference agencies.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount, net of any provision for impairment, of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Financial assets are considered impaired where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original trade and other receivable terms. Factors considered when determining if an impairment exists include aging and timing of expected receipts and the credit worthiness of counterparties. A provision for impairment is created for the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The Group’s trading terms do not generally include the requirement for customers to provide collateral as security for financial assets.

The Group carries receivables from a number of Southern European governments. The credit risk associated with trading in these countries is considered on a country-by-country basis and the Group’s trading strategy is adjusted accordingly. The factors taken into account in determining the credit risk of a particular country include recent trading experience, current economic and political conditions and the likelihood of continuing support from agencies such as the European Central Bank.

  • 34 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)

Funding and liquidity risk

Funding and liquidity risk is the risk that CSL cannot meet its financial commitments as and when they fall due. One form of this risk is credit spread risk which is the risk that in refinancing its debt, CSL may be exposed to an increased credit spread (the credit spread is the margin that must be paid over the equivalent government or risk free rate or swap rate). Another form of this risk is liquidity risk which is the risk of not being able to refinance debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations at any reasonable cost when required.

Liquidity and re-financing risks are not significant for the Group, as CSL has a prudent gearing level and strong cash flows. The focus on improving operational cash flow and maintaining a strong balance sheet mitigates refinancing and liquidity risks enabling the Group to actively manage its capital position.

CSL’s objectives in managing its funding and liquidity risks include ensuring the Group can meet its financial commitments as and when they fall due, ensuring the Group has sufficient funds to achieve its working capital and investment objectives, ensuring that short-term liquidity, long-term liquidity and crisis liquidity requirements are effectively managed, minimising the cost of funding and maximising the return on any surplus funds through efficient cash management, and ensuring adequate flexibility in financing to balance short-term liquidity requirements and long-term core funding, and minimise refinancing risk.

Fair values

With the exception of certain of the Group’s financial liabilities as disclosed in the table below, the remainder of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities have a fair value equal to the carrying value of those assets and liabilities as shown in the Group’s balance sheet. There are no unrecognised gains or losses in respect to any financial asset or financial liability.

The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the net fair values of financial assets and liabilities:

Trade and other receivables/payables

The carrying value of trade and other receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to reflect its fair value.

Other financial assets – derivatives

Forward exchange contracts are ‘marked to market’ using listed market prices.

Other financial assets – available-for-sale financial assets

Fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Other financial assets – other

Fair value is estimated using valuation techniques including recent arm’s length transactions of like assets, discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to fair values of similar financial instruments.

Interest bearing liabilities and borrowings

Fair value is calculated based on the discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows.

Interest bearing liabilities and borrowings – finance leases

The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates for homogeneous lease agreements. The estimated fair values reflect change in interest rates.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern whilst providing returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The Group aims to maintain a capital structure which reflects the use of a prudent level of debt funding so as to reduce the Group’s cost of capital without adversely affecting either of their credit ratings.

Each year the Directors determine the dividend taking into account factors such as liquidity and the availability of franking credits. The full year dividend, as disclosed in note 23, represents a payout ratio of 42% of Net Profit after Tax.

During the 2013 financial year, the parent company announced a further A$900m buy-back. During the year, 20,966,720 shares have been purchased for US$1,145.4m. The shares purchased during the year include both the completion of the previous buyback and shares purchased under the buyback announced during the year.

Independent auditor's report to the members of CSL Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of CSL Limited, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

Notes

Constant currency removes the impact of exchange rate movements to facilitate comparability by restating the current year’s results at the prior year’s rates. This is done in two parts: a) by converting the current year net profit of entities in the group that have reporting currencies other than US Dollars at the rates that were applicable to the prior year (“translation currency effect”) and comparing this with the actual profit of those entities for the current year; and b) by restating material transactions booked by the group that are impacted by exchange rate movements at the rate that would have applied to the transaction if it had occurred in the prior year (“transaction currency effect”) and comparing this with the actual transaction recorded in the current year. The sum of translation currency effect and transaction currency effect is the amount by which reported net profit is adjusted to calculate the result at constant currency.

Summary NPAT

Reported Net Profit after Tax US$ 1,216.3m Translation Currency Effect (a) US$ 66.6m Transaction Currency Effect (b) US$ (48.9)m Constant Currency Net Profit after Tax * US$ 1,234m

a) Translation Currency Effect US$66.6m

Average Exchange rates used for calculation in major currencies were as follows:

Twelve months ended

Jun 12 Jun 13 USD/CHF 0.89 0.94 USD/EUR 0.74 0.77

b) Transaction Currency Effect US$(48.9m)

Transaction currency effect is calculated by reference to the applicable prior year exchange rates. The calculation takes into account the timing of sales both internally within the CSL Group (ie from a manufacturer to a distributor) and externally (ie to the final customer) and the relevant exchange rates applicable to each transaction.

Summary Sales

Reported Sales US$ 4,950.4m Currency Effect (c) US$ 105.0m Constant Currency Sales * US$ 5,055.5m

c) Constant Currency Effect $105m

Constant currency effect is presented as a single amount due to the complex and interrelated nature of currency impact on sales.

* Constant currency net profit after tax and sales has not been audited or reviewed in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards
