OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Corporate Structure
Pro Medicus Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Nature of operations and principal activities
The principal activities of the Group during the year were the supply of healthcare imaging software and services to hospitals, diagnostic imaging groups and other health related entities in Australia, North America and Europe. These products and services include:
Radiology Information Systems (RIS)
-
Proprietary medical software for practice management (RIS);
-
Training, installation and professional services;
-
After sale support and service products;
-
Promedicus.net secure email; and
-
Integration products.
Visage 7.0
-
Healthcare imaging software that provides radiologist and clinicians with advanced visualisation capability for rapidly viewing 2-D, 3-D and 4-D medical images;
-
Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS)/Digital imaging software that is sold directly and to original equipment manufacturers (OEM);
-
Training, installation and professional services; and
-
Service and support products.
The Group has continued development of both the RIS product and the Visage 7.0 product line throughout the period.
The Group undertakes research and development (R&D) in Australia for its Practice Management (RIS) and promedicus.net products including R&D for Visage RIS, its new technology platform.
The R&D for the Visage 7.0 product set is carried out in Europe.
REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Investment Activities
Surplus funds which are held in several currencies are invested by the Group in a cash management, at-call accounts and term deposits to maximise the interest return.
Performance Indicators
Management and the Board monitor overall performance, from the strategic plan through to the performance of the Group against operating plans and financial budgets.
The Board, together with management, have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to monitor performance. Key management monitor these KPIs on a regular basis and Directors receive appropriately structured board reports for review prior to each monthly Board meeting allowing them to actively monitor the Group’s performance.
Dynamics of the Business
Australia
The Group’s Australian employees undertake research and development of Pro Medicus products (RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions.
The Group’s Australian revenue increased by 19.2% compared to the previous year, with the rollout of the Healius (ex-Primary Health) contract and extension of its contract with I-MED being the main contributors to the increased revenue.
Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, continued to hold its market position.
North America
The North American team fulfil sales, marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America increased by 23.7% compared to the previous year. This was attributable to increase in transaction-based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts came on stream.
5
Directors’ Report continued
Europe
The Group’s employees in its Berlin office undertake research and development of Visage Imaging products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and service/support functions for the Group's European operations. Revenue for software from our European operations was in line with expectations despite a decrease of 37.7% period on period, as a result of a one-off $3.049m capital sale to the German government in FY19.
Financials
Reported profit after tax for the period was $23.08m an increase of 20.7% from the previous year.
Full year revenue of the Group increased from $50.11m to $56.82m, an increase of 13.4%. As the Group’s costs are relatively fixed, an increase in sales has a significant impact on profitability.
The key drivers of the profit increase were increases in transaction revenue in North American and as well as increased RIS sales in Australia.
The result from the underlying operations for the year was a pre-tax profit of $30.24m compared to an underlying pre-tax profit of $22.66m from the previous corresponding period, an increase of 33.4%. The underlying profit comprises reported profit before tax of $30.02m and adding the net currency loss of $0.22m. The underlying profit from 2019, comprises of reported profit before tax of $26.12m less the currency gain of $0.41m and subtracting the one-off capital sale to the German government of $3.05m.
During the period the Company continued to make strong inroads into the North American market winning key contracts with Ohio State University (A$9.0m – 5 year deal), a large multi-disciplinary academic medical center in Columbus, Ohio; Nines (A$6.0m – 5 year deal), a Palo Alto based teleradiology business; and Northwestern Memorial (A$22.0m – 5 year deal), a large, highly respected tier 1 academic hospital system in Chicago, Illinois . The Company also continued to make significant progress with all key implementations being on or ahead of schedule.
COVID-19
The company successfully transitioned its entire global operations to “work from home” in mid- March 2020 ensuring full continuity of all R&D and client support services. In addition, customer-facing activities including meetings with prospective clients, product demonstrations and training and implementation were performed remotely using a combination of the company’s own Visage 7 technology and third party video conferencing tools, thereby enabling these activities to continue unabated throughout the period.
Exam volumes, particularly in Australia and the US, declined during the last week in March 2020 and into the first two weeks of April 2020 as clients deferred all elective, non-urgent radiology examinations. Since that period to the end of the financial year, volumes steadily increased to a level just below that of the months prior to COVID. The impact on the full year results is estimated to be that profit after tax would have been higher by approximately $1.2m, which equates to approximately 5% of underlying NPAT.
Investments for Future Performance
The Company will continue to direct resources into the development of new products and is committed to the continued development of its Visage RIS and Visage 7.0 product sets.
It is anticipated that this strategy of ongoing development will continue to position Pro Medicus as a market leader and enable the Group to further leverage its expanded product portfolio and geographical spread.
The Group remains committed to providing staff with access to appropriate training and development programs, together with the resources to complete their duties.
The Directors express their gratitude for the efforts of the management team and all employees in achieving this year’s result.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Capital Structure
The Company has a sound capital structure with a strong financial position and is debt free.
Treasury Policy
The treasury function, co-ordinated within Pro Medicus Limited, is limited to maximising interest return on surplus funds and managing currency risk. The treasury function operates within policies set by the Board, which is responsible for ensuring that management’s actions are in line with Board policy.
With the increase in overseas operations there is an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. Whilst this is offset to a degree by having operations in North America and Europe, this change in risk profile has been noted by the Board and steps have been taken to manage this risk, including taking out forward currency exchange contracts and currency options.

Directors’ Report continued
Cash from Operations
Net cash flows from operating activities for the current period was a positive $31.42m, with receipts from customers totalling $60.63m compared with payments of $19.92m to suppliers and employees. During the year the Company paid out a total of $10.92m in dividends, the net result being total cash assets of $43.41m; an increase of 34.3% from last year.
Liquidity and Funding
The Group is cash flow positive, has adequate cash reserves and has no overdraft facility. Sufficient funds are held to finance operations.
Risk Management
The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.
The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process, as such the Board has not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:
-
Board approval of strategic plans, which encompass the Company’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholder needs and manage business risk;
-
Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs;
-
Overseeing of appropriate backup procedures for important company data; and
-
Routine review by key executives of its established Quality Assurance program and corrective action recommendations stemming from it.
Corporate Governance
In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of Pro Medicus Limited support and have adhered to the principles of good corporate governance. Please refer to the separate “Corporate Governance” section for more details of specific policies.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Shareholders’ equity increased by 22.1% from $49.29m to $60.18m. This movement was largely the result of profit during the year, offset by dividends paid out during the year.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE
A Final Dividend of 6.0 cents per share has been declared post 30 June 2020. Please refer to Note 9 of the financial statements.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Directors anticipate that the 2021 financial year will see more opportunities crystallise for the company due to improved prospects in North America and the continued commercialisation and roll out of Visage RIS, the company’s new technology RIS platform.
Key components that are likely to affect the performance of the company are:
-
Increased revenue being generated from previously won transaction-based contracts which are scheduled to come on stream in the 2021 financial year.
-
Continued strong interest in the Visage 7.0 expanded suite of products in the North American market has resulted in a number of sales opportunities that the Company is actively pursuing.
-
The ability of the expanded Visage 7.0 product set to address key market segments such as large Health Systems and Hospitals in addition to the private radiology and teleradiology markets.
-
Market dynamics that favour the adoption of Visage 7.0 technology.
-
Increased revenue from Visage RIS, the company’s new technology RIS platform as the rollout of this new platform continues.
COVID-19
Examination volumes in Australia and North American have returned to near normal levels and it is anticipated, subject to a no further major COVID outbreaks that this trend back to normal volumes will continue.
7
Directors’ Report continued
As a result, it is anticipated that the 2021 financial year will show a continuing improvement in operational results, however this is dependent upon many market factors over which the Directors have limited or no control.

Directors’ Report continued
REMUNERATION REPORT (audited) (continued)
Remuneration and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. Due to the small number of Directors no committee has been established for this purpose.
Board members, as per groupings detailed below, are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements.
In order to maintain good corporate governance, the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives.
The remuneration assessment considers the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.
Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.
To this end, the Group provides competitive rewards to attract high calibre Executives.
Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Non-Executive Directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 4 November 2005 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per year.
The amount of the aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Non-Executive Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.
Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. No additional fee is paid for time spent on Audit Committee business.
Non-Executive Directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Non-Executive Director on market). It is considered good governance for the NonExecutive Directors to have a stake in the Company on whose Board they sit.
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the period ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.
Executives Remuneration
Objective
The Group aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to:
-
align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; and
-
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Directors’ Report continued
REMUNERATION REPORT (audited) (continued)
Structure
Employment contracts have been entered into with all Executives of the Group. Details of these contracts are provided on page 11.
Remuneration consists predominately of fixed remuneration. Variable remuneration is provided occasionally at the Board’s discretion including both short term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI).
The Company does not have a policy regarding Executives entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to share options granted as part of their remuneration package.
Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and the process consists of a review of Group-wide business and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Executives, including Executive Directors, are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group.
The fixed remuneration is detailed in Table 1 of this report.
Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)
Performance Rights
Former LTI Plan – Granted until FY2017
A long term incentive plan was established during 2011-12 whereby Senior Executives of the Group were offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance rights, issued for nil consideration, were offered over a 5 year period and vest 4 years after grant date on completion of service. This long term incentive plan includes performance hurdles related to profitability (EBIT – 75%) which was set on an annualised basis by the Board and individual performance (25%). These measures have been selected and set to align to Company performance and to reflect individual contribution to the Company.
The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights is estimated using a Black-Scholes model at grant date taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the performance rights were granted. For further details of valuation of options, models and assumptions used, refer to Note 19 of the financial statements.
The table below outlines the proportion to target of performance rights that were granted based on performance measures since the plan was established. No new grants were awarded during the year ended 30 June 2020, 2019 and 2018 under this long term incentive plan.

| 75% EBIT targets met N/A N/A N/A 25% Individual targets met N/A N/A N/A |
125% 85% 83% 88% |
A share-based payment expense continues to be provided to certain Executives during the year ended 30 June 2020 related to unvested tranches of this long term incentive plan.
Current LTI Plan – Granted from FY2017
A new long term incentive plan was established during 2016-17 whereby Senior Executives of the Group were offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance rights, issued for nil consideration, are offered on a year to year basis and vest 4 years after grant date on completion of service, with a 3 year performance period. This long term incentive plan includes performance hurdles related to profitability - Earnings per Share (EPS) growth (60%) which is set on an annualised basis by the Board and Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) growth (40%). The Company’s TSR growth performance hurdle is measured relative to the ASX300 Index (FY2017, FY2018 and FY2019) and measured relative to the ASX200 Index in FY2020 and assessed by the Board at the end of the performance period in

accordance with the terms of the plan. These measures have been selected and set to align to Company performance and shareholder value.
The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights is estimated using Black Sholes and Monte Carlo Simulation Models at grant date taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the performance rights were granted. For further details of valuation of options, models and assumptions used please refer to Note 19 of the financial statements.
The table below outlines the proportion to target of performance rights that were granted based on performance measures during the year and since the plan was established.
| 2020 | |
|---|---|
| 60% EPS targets met | 100% |
| 40% TSR targets met | 100% |
Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI)
Short term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were paid to Executives based on a mix of Company based and personal performance targets.
STI bonus for 2020
The table below outlines the proportion to target of STI cash bonuses provided since the new STI plan was established
| 2020 2019 2018 |

| 75% EBIT targets met 0% 200% 35% 25% Individual targets met 100%* 93% 143% |
125% N/A 91% N/A |
- Accrued in the financial statements at 100% based on best estimates of the Board prior to formalisation.
Key Performance Indicators
Actual STI payments granted to Executives under the individual target portion, depended on the extent to which specific targets set at the time of employment were met. The targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial (Sales Targets) and non-financial measures of performance, including client satisfaction, patent filings and employee satisfaction.
Shareholder Returns
The Directors are confident that the holdings of reserve cash is sufficient to underpin the development and expansion needs of the Company as the business looks to increase its penetration of existing markets.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of Directors on 20 August 2020.
Pro Medicus Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.
(b) Statement of compliance with IFRS
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(c) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pro Medicus Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group). Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
-
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
-
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains a control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
-
Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary.
-
Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest.
-
Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity.
-
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received.
-
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained.
-
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss.
-
Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.
(d) New accounting standards and interpretations
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 2019. The group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
New and revised standards and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the Group from 1 July 2019 include:
- AASB 16 Leases
The details and impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases is disclosed below in Note 2(d)(i).
- AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
Details of AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments is disclosed in Note 2(d)(ii). The adoption of this interpretation did not have any impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Annual Improvements 2015- 2017 Cycle
The adoption of this amending standard did not have any impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
• AASB 2018-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
The adoption of this amending standard did not have any impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
(i) AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 16”) supersedes AASB 117 Leases (“AASB 117”), AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, AASB Interpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and AASB Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for most leases under a single on-balance sheet model.
The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application being 1 July 2019. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the transition to AASB 16 are therefore recognised in the opening statement of financial position at 1 July 2019. As the Group has adopted the modified retrospective method, there was no restatement of comparative information
Nature of the effect of adoption of AASB 16
The Group is, or has been in the relevant period, lessee under lease contracts for office premises and motor vehicles.
Before the adoption of AASB 16, the Group classified each of its leases at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. All of the Group’s leases were classified as operating leases under AASB 117.
Upon adoption of AASB 16, the Group applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases that it is lessee. AASB 16 provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which has been applied by the Group.
- Leases previously classified as operating leases
The Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Lease liabilities were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the initial date of application being 1 July 2019. The right-of-use assets for leases were recognised at an amount equal to the lease liability at the initial date of application, adjusted for previously recognised prepaid or accrued lease payments.
Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Application of practical expedients
In applying AASB 16 at the initial date of application being at 1 July 2019, the Group has applied the available practical expedients:
-
Excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and
-
Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application.
Effect of adopting AASB 16 at 1 July 2019
The effect of adopting AASB 16 is as follows:
Impact on the statement of financial position (increase/(decrease)) at 1 July 2019:
| Consolidated | |
|---|---|
| 1 Jul 2019 | |
| $’000 | |
| Non-current assets | |
| Lease assets | 2,822 |
| Deferred tax asset | 827 |
| Total non-current assets | 3,649 |
| TOTAL ASSETS | 3,649 |
| Current liabilities | |
| Lease liabilities | 661 |
| Total current liabilities | 661 |
| Non-current liabilities | |
| Lease liabilities | 2,161 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 827 |
| Total non-current liabilities | 2,988 |
| TOTAL LIABILITIES | 3,649 |
| NET ASSETS | - |
| Equity | - |
| TOTAL EQUITY | - |
There is no impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, and basic and diluted earnings per share for the comparative period as the Group elected to adopt the modified retrospective approach to transitioning to AASB 16.
The lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 as follows:
| Consolidated | |
|---|---|
| 1 Jul 2019 | |
| $’000 | |
| Operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 | 497 |
| Weighted average incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019 | 4.76% |
| Discounted operating lease commitments at 1 July 2019 | 469 |
| Add: | |
| Payments in optional extensionperiods not recognised as at 30 June 2019 | 2,353 |
| Lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019 | 2,822 |

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Summary of new accounting policies
Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Group upon adoption of AASB 16, which have been applied from the date of initial application at 1 July 2019.
• Right of use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the relevant commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the relevant lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the relevant lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
• Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the relevant lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (initially measured using the index or rate as at the relevant commencement date), and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The Group applies the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead accounts for each lease component and any associated lease components as a single lease component.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the relevant lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the relevant commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
• Significant judgements
The Group has made the following significant judgements with respect to its leases as lessee:
o Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Under some of its property leases, the Group is able to continually exercise the option to extend the term of the lease. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew (i.e. a change in business strategy). The Group has included reasonably certain renewal options as part of the lease term for its property leases ranging from 5 to 10 years.
o Determining the incremental borrowing rate
The Group has applied judgement to determine the incremental borrowing rate, which affects the amount of lease liabilities or right-of-use assets recognised. The Group reassesses and applies the incremental borrowing rate on a lease by lease basis at the relevant lease commencement date based on the term of the lease (or the remaining term of the lease at the initial date of application).
- (ii) AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“AASB Interpretation 23”) addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of AASB 12 Income Taxes (“AASB 12”). It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. AASB Interpretation 23 specifically addresses the following:
24
Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
-
Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately
-
The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
-
How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
-
How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances
The Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
Upon adoption of AASB Interpretation 23, the Group considered whether it has any uncertain tax positions. The Group determined, based on its tax compliance that it is probable that its tax treatments will be accepted by the taxation authorities.
AASB Interpretation 23 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements 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.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.
Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
(i) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Capitalisation of development costs:
Development costs are only capitalised by the Group when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale.
The capitalisation of development costs includes an overhead rate which has been estimated from total costs. The estimated development overheads rate has been calculated by dividing the development labour costs over total labour costs to give a percentage of development labour rate. The development labour rate is then applied against the total overheads of the company, to give an estimate of the amount of overheads that relates to development.
Impairment of non-financial assets:
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Management has tested certain assets for impairment in this financial period. Refer to Note 14 of the financial statements for significant assumptions applied in assessing for impairment on non-financial assets.
Taxation:
The Group's accounting policy for taxation requires management's judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-recouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences in investments, caused principally by retained earnings held in foreign tax jurisdictions, are recognised unless repatriation of retained earnings can be controlled and are not expected to occur in the foreseeable future.
25
Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (cont’d)
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future sales volumes, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. 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 amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.
Income taxes:
The group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Net investment in foreign operations:
The Group maintains inter-company loans it assesses to represent a part of its net investment in its foreign operations. The judgements made in assessing these loans to represent net investments are on the basis the loans are neither planned nor likely to be settled within the foreseeable future, the loans do not include trade receivables or trade payable and the loans represent a return of funds from their investment in the respective subsidiaries.
Share-based payments:
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option/performance rights, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value of share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 19.
Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 5 for significant judgements with respect to revenue recognition.
4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The operating segments are identified by management based on country of origin. Discrete financial information is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.
Impairment of intangible assets is not monitored at a segment level.
Types of products and services
The Group produces integrated software applications for the health care industry. In addition, the Group provides services in the form of installation and support.
Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues.
Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the Board of Directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.
26
Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
4. OPERATING SEGMENTS (cont’d)
The Group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:
-
Nature of the products and services
-
Type or class of customer for the products and services
-
Nature of the regulatory environment
Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.
Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. The price aims to reflect what the business operation could achieve if they sold their output and services to external parties at arm’s length.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
5. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Group’s contracts with customers comprise multiple goods and services, typically with specific fixed or variable consideration receivable, including:
-
Installation and professional services;
-
Product licences;
-
Transactional services, including image viewing and image archiving; and
-
Support services, including updates and upgrades to the product licence.
The Group’s contracts with customers also comprise of multiple activities in order to provide customers with the specified product. The nature of the Group’s products requires significant integration of various goods and services promised in contracts that represent a combined output – being the offered product. The multiple goods or services in the contract are highly interrelated and are integral in combination to the performance of the product.
The Group has determined that within its contracts with customers there is one performance obligation of delivering a specified product given:
-
The Group provides a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised in the contract. The combined output – being the offered product – represents a bundle of the Group’s various goods or services;
-
Goods or services (i.e. installation, product licence, transaction services and support services) are highly interrelated and integral to the performance of the product. The Group could not fulfil its performance obligation of delivering a specified product by transferring each of the goods or services independently; and
-
Only the Group can provide product installation, transactional services and support (including significant updates/upgrades) services to customers of product licences, given the associated intellectual property of the product owned by the Group.
Revenue from multi-element contracts is recognised over the term of the contract, commencing when the product is ready for use following the installation and establishment of the product licence on the basis that:
-
Product updates/upgrades received by the customer over the contract period are frequent and significant to the performance and compliance of the products with relevant regulatory authorities;
-
Customers have no alternate use for the Group’s products outside of the contract period; and
-
The Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date during the period of the contract.
Revenue is recognised by reference to the satisfaction of the one performance obligation using the input method. The input method is applied based on the elapsed term of the contract in comparison to the length of the total contract term from when the product is ready for use by the customer until the licence and support periods end.
The Group receives consideration for certain elements of product contracts that is based on transaction volumes and dependent upon customer activity. Such consideration is recognised as revenue as the customer activity occurs over the term of the contract and the Group becomes entitled to payment.
Directly attributable commissions paid to employees of the Group for obtaining contracts are initially capitalised as a contract asset and recognised within salaries and employee benefits expense over time as revenue from the related contract is recognised. The carrying value of contract assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date.

Payments received in advance of the commencement of the term of the contract is initially deferred as contract liabilities (refer to Note 16). Some contracts contain minimum annual volume amounts for transactional services that are recognised as revenue in advance of billing and disclosed as accrued revenue.
During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group entered into a bespoke contract to provide a certain customer with a perpetual licence to use a product, irrespective of the customer’s transactional activity. Support services are sold to the customer, at the customer’s discretion, in separate short-term contracts. The pricing for these support services contracts are at normal commercial terms.

The performance rights vest in accordance with performance conditions related to earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder returns (“TSR”) after completion of a service condition being 4 years from the grant date. The fair value of the performance rights at grant date were TSR hurdle - $2.85 and EPS hurdle - $13.58 per performance. The amount of share-based payment expense for the year ended 30 June 2020 takes into consideration the probability of certain performance conditions vesting.
7. INCOME TAX
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided for temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
7. INCOME TAX (cont’d)
- when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
-
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.
Unrecognised temporary differences
At 30 June 2020, the Group has not recognised deferred tax liabilities associated with the Group's investments in subsidiaries being recognised as the parent is able to control the timing of the reversal of any temporary differences and it is not probable any temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.
Tax consolidation legislation
Pro Medicus Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2009. Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement.
The head entity, Pro Medicus Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts under the tax funding agreement. The Group applies the Group allocation approach to determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. An allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities of the tax consolidated group will be made should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No such amounts have been recognised in the financial statements on the basis that the possibility of default is remote.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pro Medicus Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group adjusted for:
-
The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses
-
Other non-discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares
-
Dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element
and then divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
| The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations: Net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic earnings per share Effect of dilution: Performance rights Weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of dilution |

Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flow comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes of value.
Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.
Short term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is their carrying value.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont’d)
A provision for impairment is made based on applying a simplified approach in calculating the expected credit losses (“ECL”) for debtors and other receivables (including accrued revenue). Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises an ECL allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date. The Group’s provisioning methodology is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forwardlooking factors specific to individual debtors and the economic environment. Debtors and other receivables (including accrued revenue) are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
| a) Allowance for expected credit losses Movements in the allowance for expected credit losses were as follows: At 1 July Charge to / (write back of) allowance for the year Utilised during the year Foreign exchange translation At 30 June |

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
13. PLANT & EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
| Property Improvements Motor Vehicles Office Equipment Furniture and Fittings Research and Development Equipment |
2020 2019 |
|---|---|
| 2 to 7 years 2 to 7 years 4 to 5 years 4 to 5 years 2 to 7 years 2 to 7 years 5 years 5 years 3 to 4 years 3 to 4 years |
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value.
The amortisation period and method is renewed at each financial year end and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.
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 sale or use, 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 initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of expected benefit from the related project (5 years).
Development expenditure includes costs of materials and services and salaries and wages and other employee related costs arising from the generation of the intangible asset.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (cont’d)
i) Intellectual property was acquired through previous business combinations and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. These intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and have been fully amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 5 years.
ii) Development costs have been capitalised. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 5 years. As at 30 June 2020 the carrying values of capitalised development costs are Visage PACS ($13,214,598) RIS ($5,483,667) and Visage MagicWeb ($140,783), all sit within the Australian operating segment.
Impairment
The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the intangible assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of intangible assets is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil impairment loss).

15. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
| Current Trade payables Other payables and accruals |

(i) Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms.
(ii) Other payables are non-interest bearing and have an average term of 30 days.
Fair value approximates carrying value due to the short-term nature of trade and other payables.

17. PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Employee leave benefits
Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date.
(i) Annual leave and sick leave
The liability for annual leave is recognised 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, using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible the estimated future cash outflows. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the current rates paid to employees.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised 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, using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible the estimated future cash outflows.

Capital Management
When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.
Management review the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares.
During the year, the company paid dividends of $10,915,959 (2019: $9,843,585).
19. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
(i) Equity settled transactions:
The Group provides benefits to its employees (including KMP) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The current plan in place to provide these benefits is:
- The Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which provides benefits to senior executives and other employees.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (for awards granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005) is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using either a Black Scholes model or Monte Carlo simulation model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Pro Medicus Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the profit or loss is the product of:
-
(i) The grant date fair value of the award;
-
(ii) For options with non-market vesting conditions, the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and
-
(iii) The expired portion of the vesting period.
The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see Note 8).

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash and short-term deposits.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest risk and credit risk. The Board manages each of these risks as detailed below.
Foreign currency risk
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Both the functional and presentation currency of Pro Medicus Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). The United States subsidiaries’ functional currency is United States Dollars. The subsidiary in Germany has a functional currency of Euro. Foreign subsidiaries are translated to presentation currency for consolidated reporting.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
48
Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
(iii) Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency
The results of the United States and German subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars (presentation currency) using an average exchange rate for the trading period. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.
Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a foreign subsidiary were sold, the proportionate share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in profit or loss.
The Group has transactional currency exposure, which arise from sales made in currencies other than the Group’s presentational currency.
Approximately 81% (2019: 83%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the presentational currency, and these sales would be predominately offset by currency exposure on costs. Foreign bank accounts have also been established, to create a natural hedge and reduce the need for regular transfers from the presentational currency (AUD) cash holdings.

Management believe the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial instruments of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential defaults of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets.
The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit assessment.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
As the Group trades predominantly within the Diagnostic Imaging market there is a concentration of credit risk. Given the underlying Government funding support for Radiology in Hospital settings and the Imaging Centre and
Diagnostic Imaging market, and the commercial successes achieved by the Group to date, credit risk is considered to be minimal.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with several financial institutions, with the majority held with the Westpac Banking Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank N.A., both AA rated banks.
Interest risk
The Group exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the company’s cash and cash equivalents.
At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to Australian Variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Cash and Cash equivalents in the Group ($’000) $43,413 (2019: $32,315).
The Group’s policy is to place cash balances in either 30-180 day term deposits or commercial bills that earn higher interest rates.

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)
At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity (excluding retained profits) would have been affected as follows:
| Consolidated | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Judgements of reasonably possible movements: | Post tax | profit | Other | |
| higher/(lower) | comprehensive | |||
| income | ||||
| higher/(lower) | ||||

|
| +1% (100 basis points) | 433 | 322 | - | - |
| – 0.5% (50 basis points) | (217) | (161) | - | - |
Liquidity risk
The Group has minimal liquidity risk as it has cash reserves of $43.4m, with no borrowings.
These cash reserves are deemed to be adequate and the Board believes they will underpin the ongoing growth of the business.
The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs for settlement and repayments resulting from recognised financial liabilities. Cash flows for financial liabilities without fixed amount of timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2020.
The remaining contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities are:
| Consolidated | Consolidated | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| $’000 | $’000 | |
| <30 days | 1,049 | 1,385 |
| 31-60 days | 254 | 344 |
| 61-90 days | 299 | 29 |
| Over 90 days | 1,035 | 1,663 |
| TOTAL | **2,637 ** | 3,421 |
26. CONTINGENCIES
Tax related contingencies
Amended assessments from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
As a result of the ATO’s program of routine and regular tax audit, the Group anticipates that ATO audits may occur in the future. The Group is similarly subject to routine tax audits in certain overseas jurisdictions. The ultimate outcome of any future tax audits cannot be determined with an acceptable degree of reliability at this time. Nevertheless, the Group believes that it is making adequate provision for its taxation liabilities (including amounts shown as deferred and current tax liabilities) and is taking reasonable steps to address potentially contentious issues with the ATO. However, there may be an impact to the Group of any of the revenue authority investigations results in an adjustment that increases the Group’s taxation liabilities.
Ongoing transactions – transfer pricing
The Group has offshore operations in the United States and Germany (Note 24). There are additional Group transactions, between Pro Medicus Limited and its US and German based subsidiaries Visage Imaging Inc. and Visage Imaging GmbH. These transactions are on an arm’s length basis and are conducted at normal market prices and on normal commercial terms.
Whilst there are no investigations currently in progress, such transactions are not subject to any statutory limit in Australia.

28. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2020. These are as follows:-
- i. Conceptual Framework AASB 2019-1 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Reference to the Conceptual Framework — Effective date: 1 January 2020 (Application date: 1 July 2020)
The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. It is arranged in eight chapters, as follows.
-
Chapter 1 — The objective of financial reporting
-
Chapter 2 — Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information
-
Chapter 3 — Financial statements and the reporting entity
-
Chapter 4 — The elements of financial statements
-
Chapter 5 — Recognition and derecognition
-
Chapter 6 — Measurement
-
Chapter 7 — Presentation and disclosure
-
Chapter 8 — Concepts of capital and capital maintenance
AASB 2019-1 sets out the amendments to Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. The changes to the Conceptual Framework may affect the application of accounting standards in situations where no standard
applies to a particular transaction or event. In addition, relief has been provided in applying AASB 3 and developing accounting policies for regulatory account balances using AASB 108, such that entities must continue to apply the definitions of an asset and a liability (and supporting concepts) in the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (July 2004), and not the definitions in the revised Conceptual Framework.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of the application of the new Conceptual Framework.
(b) Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Group uses derivative financial instruments (forward currency contracts) to manage its risks associated with foreign currency. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value at the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at the reporting date. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments are level 2, being derived from directly or indirectly observable inputs.
Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative are recorded directly in profit or loss for the year within net foreign currency gains/(losses). The Group does not apply hedge accounting. The foreign

exchange forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from three to six months.
Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

|
| 45 45 (159) (159) |
|
| 45 45 (159) (159) |
(c) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(d) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Pro Medicus Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Repor t section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

Capitalisation of development costs
Why significant
The Group develops medical software related to radiology systems. Development costs are capitalised and presented as intangible assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.
The carrying value of intangible assets as at 30 June 2020 was $18.8 million (20% of total assets).
Capitalised development costs was a key audit matter as product development is core to the Group’s operations and it is the key asset on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. This involves judgement to determine whether the costs meet the capitalisation criteria in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
The measurement of capitalised development costs is based on the time and overhead costs associated with individuals employed by the Group for the specific purpose of developing software. Capitalised development costs are amortised once the product is available for use. Capitalised development costs are amortised over a useful life of five years.
Refer to Note 14 of the financial report for disclosure relating to capitalised program development costs.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:
-
Assessed key measurement inputs, including labour and overhead costs, used in the Group’s capitalisation model which determines the amount of capitalised development costs.
-
Selected a sample of overhead costs capitalised to assess whether these costs were appropriately capitalised in accordance with the criteria set out in Australian Accounting Standards.
-
Agreed a sample of labour costs recorded within the capitalisation model to employee timesheets and payroll records. We enquired with the Group regarding the development activities that were undertaken relating to these costs and determined whether the sample of employees were directly involved in developing software and not maintenance or other activities that are not eligible for capitalisation.
-
Assessed the useful life and amortisation rate allocated to capitalised development costs.
-
Assessed the consistency of the capitalisation methodology applied by the Group in comparison to prior reporting periods.
-
Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures included in Note 14.

Revenue recognition
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group generated $56.8 million in revenue from customers across its global operations for the year ended 30 June 2020.
The Group exercises judgement to determine, in particular:
-
Performance obligations within customer contracts; and
-
Recognition of revenue associated with multi-element contracts over the term of the contracts.
Our audit procedures included the following:
-
Considered the appropriateness of the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policies against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, as well as the judgements applied in determining the timing of revenue recognition.
-
Reviewed a sample of customer contracts to assess the application of revenue recognition policies to customer arrangements.
Accordingly, revenue recognition was considered a key audit.
Refer to Note 5 of the financial report for disclosure relating to revenue recognition.
-
Selected a sample of revenue transactions and assessed revenue recognised with respect to customer contracts.
-
Selected a sample of revenue transactions recognised prior to and after year end, to assess whether revenue was recognised in the appropriate period.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s 2020 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report and the Corporate Governance Statement that are to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
==> picture [85 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
==> picture [85 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Audit of the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 15 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Pro Medicus Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Corporate Governance Statement
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Pro Medicus Limited’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 2020.
Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report.
The composition of the Board was determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:
-
The Board should comprise at least four directors and should maintain a majority of non-executive directors, or at least a 50/50 ratio of non-executives and executive directors;
-
The Chairperson must be a non-executive director and not occupy the role of CEO;
-
The Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and
-
The Board shall meet monthly and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.
Directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.
Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent :
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| P T Kempen | Chairman, Non-Executive Director, Chairman Audit Committee |
| A Glenning | Non-Executive Director |
| L Farrell | Non-Executive Director |
The Board wishes to advise that it continues to maintain responsibility for the actions of the Chief Executive Officer and any tasks delegated to the management by the Board.
The appointment of appropriately skilled Non-Executive Directors, together with a broadly unchanged business base has meant one new director nomination has occurred this year.
Executive Directors’ Appointment Letters have not been revised in the prescribed format as the board considered this unnecessary given the small number of fairly recently appointed current directors who understand their roles and responsibilities. The board has undertaken that the recommended format should be used for any future director appointments.
Non-Executive Directors and senior executives have a written employment agreement with the Company setting out the terms of their appointment.
Dr Sam Hupert and Mr. Anthony Hall were directors in Pro Medicus Pty Ltd since incorporation in 1983. Mr. Peter Kempen was appointed in March 2008, Mr Anthony Glenning was appointed in May 2016 and Dr Leigh Farrell was appointed in September 2017.
Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable to the Board on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. The Company Secretary, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, attends all Board meetings and ensures that the business at Board meetings is accurately captured in the minutes of these meetings.
Board Functions
As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board
66
Corporate Governance Statement FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.
The Board has delegated responsibility for the operation and administration of the group to the Chief Executive Officer and the executive team (as detailed in Note 23). The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Chief Executive and the executive team.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved. These mechanisms include the following:
-
approval of strategic plans, which encompass the entity’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk;
-
involvement in developing the strategic plan (a dynamic document) and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure the continued growth and success of the entity;
-
overseeing implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and monitoring of progress against budget - this includes the establishment and monitoring of key performance indicators (both financial and non-financial) for all significant business processes; and
-
utilising appropriately skilled professionals to provide advice on relevant discussion topics and procedures to allow Directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.
Values
The Group sets out its values that defines what type of organisation it aspires to be and what it expects from its directors, executives and employees to achieve that aspiration. The Groups values are:
-
Service and Product Excellence
oCommit to provide well-supported, stable products and services to our customers enabling them to improve workflow and diagnoses, ultimately providing more efficient patient care. -
Commit to continuous improvement of our systems, products and services.
-
Integrity and Trust
-
Doing the right thing by our people, customers and patients.
-
oDoing what we say we will do.oMaintaining confidentiality. -
Commit to a culture that is inclusive, respectful, honest and transparent in all that we do.
Performance
The performance of the board and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and qualitative indicators. During the reporting period the board conducted performance evaluations that involved an assessment of each board member’s and key executive’s performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria.
The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Pro Medicus Limited.
In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the Chairman annually reviews the performance of all Directors who will be asked to retire from the board if not performing in a satisfactory manner.
Diversity
The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Pro Medicus believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance.
We actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated. While Pro Medicus is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has been and continues to be a priority for the Group.
The Group has established a diversity policy outlining the board’s measureable objectives for achieving diversity. This is assessed annually to measure the progress towards achieving those objectives.
67
Corporate Governance Statement FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
The table below outlines the diversity objectives established by the board, the steps taken during the year to achieve these objectives and the outcomes.
| Objectives | Steps taken/Outcome |
|---|---|
| Increase the number of women in the workforce, including senior management positions and at board level. |
• There were no key senior female appointments made during the year as there were no key senior appointments made during the year. • Pro Medicus did not appoint any females in managerial roles as there were no managerial appointments made during the year • As at 30 June 2020, women represented 21% in the Group’s workforce (2019:21%), 20% in key executive positions (2019:20%) and 0% at board level (2019:0%). Subsequent to 30 June 2020, Pro Medicus has appointed a female Non- Executive Director to its Board. • Women represented 18% of new hires during the year (2019:18%) For the upcoming financial year, the Group targets to increase female representation in the Group’s workforce to 30+% |
| Objectives | • Steps taken/Outcome |
| Promote an inclusive culture that treats the workforce with fairness and respect. |
• Pro Medicus has set a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of employees at all levels. The company also provides avenues for employees to voice their concerns or report any discrimination. • No cases of discrimination were reported during the year (2019: nil). |
| Provide career development opportunities for every employee, irrespective of any cultural, gender or other differences. |
• Whilst Pro Medicus places a focus on gender diversity, career development opportunities are equal for all employees. During the year, representation at training and development programs was based on performance of the employees. |
The achievement of the measurable objectives in the current financial year was taken into consideration in assessing bonuses for employees. The Group will continue to review and update the measurable objectives to promote diversity for the upcoming year.
Committees
Due to the small number of Directors, the Board decided it was more appropriate to handle nomination and remuneration issues at full Board level. No Committees for these functions have been established at this time.
In addition, the full Board handles any matters as and when they arise concerning environmental issues, occupational health and safety, finance and treasury.
In order to maintain good corporate governance the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives.
68
Corporate Governance Statement FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
The Board has delegated the responsibility of executive remuneration to the management who will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.
The Company does not have a policy in regards to whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme, however the Board are in the process of evaluating a policy for such issues.
Strategic planning has been an important objective of the Board. Meetings are scheduled so that all Board members can attend and are conducted in an informal fashion to allow non-executive directors to gain enhanced industry, customer, product and research knowledge.
Audit Committee
The Board has established an audit committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board.
It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes. This also includes the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators.
The members of the audit committee are: P T Kempen Chairman S A Hupert A B Hall A Glenning L Farrell
The audit committee is also responsible for nomination of the external auditor and reviewing the adequacy of the scope and quality of the annual statutory audit and half yearly audit review.
Due to the small number of Directors, the Committee does not meet the requirements of Recommendation 4.1 as all members of the Board serve on the Audit Committee, whilst the Board Chairman is also the Audit Committee Chairman as his area of expertise is in Accounting and Finance.
The number of meetings held and individual attendance of Committee members at those meetings are disclosed in the Directors Report.
The company rarely releases periodic corporate reports to the market that are not audited or review by an external auditor but if it does, the process to verify its integrity is for the Chief Executive Officer to present the report to the board to review and once all directors are satisfied with the content and approved in the board minutes, then it is released to the market.
Prior to approval of the Company’s annual financial statements, the Board obtains a declaration from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
A representative of the external auditors Ernst & Young will continue to attend the Annual General Meeting and is available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. A representative of Ernst & Young also attends all Audit Committee meetings.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
The board has developed a written policy to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules on continuous disclosure and has adopted measures to ensure the market and shareholders are fully informed. The measures in place require all potential market sensitive matters to be discussed with the Chief Executive Officer who in conjunction with the Chairman and other relevant directors decide whether to make an appropriate announcement to the market.
Only nominated authorised persons have the authority to release these communications to the ASX. This policy is displayed on the company website. The board receives all copies of material market announcements from the Company Secretary promptly by email after they have been made.
69
Corporate Governance Statement FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Shareholder Communication
The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are informed of all information necessary to assess the performance of the Directors. Information is communicated to the shareholders through:
-
the annual report which is distributed to all shareholders registered to receive copies;
-
through the release of information to the market via the ASX
-
the annual general meeting and other meetings so called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate;
-
an up to date website - www.promedicus.com.au;
-
email contact with registered users; and
-
special written communications to shareholders distributed with the dividend notifications.
The company ensures that any material given to a particular group is available to all interested parties via the company website. This includes any material presented at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to receive communications electronically as requested and can elect to do so through the company’s share registry. The company ensures that all participating shareholders have an opportunity to ask questions through shareholder meetings and encourages participation at all annual meetings.
A copy of the Corporate Governance Statement is also available of the Company’s website – www.promedicus.com.au.
The Company effectively facilitates two-way communication with shareholders, through six monthly investor relations roadshows and through constant investor meetings and conference calls with shareholders on request.
Trading policy
Under the group’s security trading policy, an executive, director, or any employee of the group, must not trade in any securities of the parent company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, pricesensitive information in relation to those securities.
Executives, directors and employees of the group may only trade in the securities of the parent company during an open period.
Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be forthcoming outside of an open period which is 30 days after:-
-
One day following the announcement of the half-yearly and full year results as the case may be.
-
One day following the holding of the annual general meeting.
-
One day after any other form of earnings forecast update is given to the market.
As required by the ASX listing rules, the Group notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by directors in the securities of the parent company.
Code of Conduct
The board has developed a “Code of Conduct” consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website. The board is updated on a quarterly basis if a breach has occurred during that period. There were no major breaches during the year.
Whistleblower Policy
The board has developed a whistleblower policy consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website. There were no major incidents reported under the entities whistleblower policy during the year.
Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy
The board has developed an anti-bribery and corruption policy consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website. There were no major incidents reported under the entities anti-bribery and corruption policy during the year.
Risk Management Policies
The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board.
The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process; as such the Board has not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.
70
Corporate Governance Statement FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Whilst the Company has not established an internal audit function, it is committed to the identification; monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities and has included in its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls, such as:
-
Annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems for all operations which enable the monitoring of progress against performance targets and to evaluate trends
-
Guidelines and limits on capital expenditure and purchasing authority matrix
-
Executive approvals for staffing requirements
-
Detailed monthly management reports including cash flow reports, and to identify any foreign currency risks associated with contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies
The Company up until late in the financial period was not exposed to any interest rate or significant currency sensitive loans or debts. Given the increase in overseas operations there is now an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. This change in risk profile has been noted by the board and action is being taken to manage this risk. The Board oversees appropriate backup procedures for important company data. Detailed annual review of insurance policies in force to ensure cover is at appropriate levels to safeguard key executives, Company assets and operations. The Board regularly considers succession planning to ensure staff of appropriate skill and experience are available to the Company. A review of the Company risk management policy was not undertaken during the year.
The Board does not believe the Company has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks at the present time.
