In FY25, the Group achieved revenue of $600.7 million and a profit before tax of $14.8 million (the Group recommends using profit before tax as opposed to profit after tax due to timing of how certain expenses are recognised for tax purposes).
The increase in FY25 profit before tax is driven by higher revenue and increased market share, disciplined cost management resulting in lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, and the absence of one-off costs that were incurred last year (a fair value adjustment of convertible notes and an impairment of the investment in an associate). FY25 EBITDA of $18.8 million was an increase of 43.2% on FY24, and represented an EBITDA margin of 3.1%.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’) is a non-IFRS measure and is the primary reporting measure used by the Chief Operating Decision-Making bodies, being the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors, for the purpose of assessing the performance of the Group.

Principal activities
Temple & Webster is Australia’s largest pure play online retailer of furniture and homewares.
The business runs an innovative drop-shipping model whereby products are sent directly to customers by suppliers, enabling faster delivery times and reducing the need to hold inventory, allowing for a larger product range.
The drop-ship range is complemented by a private label range which is sourced directly by Temple & Webster from overseas suppliers.
The Group also offers a huge range of home improvement products that customers need to renovate and redecorate their homes, and solutions to the Trade & Commercial market, which includes exclusive product ranges, procurement, styling, specialised delivery and installation services, and a dedicated support team.
Temple & Webster Group’s registered office and principal place of business is Building 2, 1-7 Unwins Bridge Road, St Peters, Sydney, Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code TPW.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended, or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Operating and financial review
Key operating and financial metrics for the year ended 30 June 2025 include:
-
Record FY25 revenue of $600.7 million, which was up 20.7% vs last year, supported by growth in both new and repeat customers, with all-time high active customers of 1.3 million, up 16% vs last year;
-
Gross margin % for FY25 decreased slightly from 33.4% in FY24 to 33.0% for FY25, reflecting slightly higher promotional cadence, offset by some savings in product and transport costs during FY25;
-
EBITDA of $18.8 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 3.1%, above the Group’s FY25 guidance range of 1–3% (reconciliation of EBITDA to statutory profit before tax on the following page);
-
Profit before tax was $14.8 million, up $8.5 million or 133.4% vs last year, primarily driven by disciplined cost management, resulting in a reduction in operating expenses as a % of revenue, as well as the absence of one-off costs incurred last year (a fair value adjustment of the convertible notes and an impairment of the investment in an associate); and
-
The Group’s asset light, negative working capital model drove positive free cash flow[1] of $37.9 million with a closing cash balance of $144.3 million. The Group remains debt free.
Strategic priority update
In August 2023, the Group outlined a strategy to target annual sales of $1 billion+ within 3-5 years, with a focus on five key strategic priorities, being:
-
Becoming the top-of-mind brand in the furniture and homewares category;
-
Generating the majority of revenue from exclusive products;
-
Developing market-leading capabilities around data, AI and technology;
-
Lowering our fixed costs % to obtain a price and margin advantage; and
-
Building scale through adjacent growth plays, including Home Improvement and Trade & Commercial.
The Group made good progress against each of its strategic priorities in FY25:
-
During FY24 and FY25, the Group spent $22 million on brand marketing to continue testing its impact, diversifying channel mix and optimising overall marketing investment. Results showed positive momentum, with the Group’s unprompted brand awareness position moving from #7 to #6 in the Australian market[2] ;
-
Revenue from exclusive products grew to 45% of total revenue during FY25, predominantly driven by exclusive drop-ship products. 79% of the Group’s top 500 selling products in FY25 were exclusive to the Group (up from 70% in FY24);
-
The Group continued to leverage Data and AI across the business, with a growing internal team and key partners delivering initiatives that drive revenue and reduce costs. In FY25, 80% of customer pre / post sales support interactions were partially or fully handled by AI and technology, resulting in an over 60% reduction in customer care costs as a % of revenue since FY23. The Group also experimented with personalised website experiences and targeted marketing, resulting in early conversion uplifts. The Group’s mobile app remained the fastest-growing and highest-converting platform;
-
Fixed costs as a % of revenue decreased since last year, as a result of disciplined cost management, and measured fixed cost investments being outpaced by revenue growth; and
-
Our home improvement category delivered revenue growth of 43% in FY25, with private label now making up ~19% of revenue, up 47% vs FY24. In addition, Trade & Commercial revenue grew by 9% in FY25, noting that forward order activity in Trade & Commercial improved during the second half of FY25, driven by large customer orders across the hospitality, living, and built-to-rent sectors.
The Group remains committed to achieving our mid-term goal of $1 billion+ in annual sales.
- Free cash flow calculated as Cash from Operating Activities less Payments for Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Lease Liabilities; excludes any cash flows associated with share buy-backs and shares issuance.
- Zenith Insights, Temple & Webster Brand Tracker (June 2025); excludes multi-category department stores / discount retailers.

Key business risks
There are a number of market, financial and operational risks, both specific to the Group and externally, that could have an adverse effect on the Group’s future performance. The Group has a risk management framework in place with internal control systems to identify key business risks and mitigate them to an acceptable level. The material business risks are summarised below (not exhaustive nor in order of materiality).

----- End of picture text -----
| Continued growth | While the B2C retail ecommerce market and the online market for furniture, homewares and |
|---|---|
| of retail ecommerce | home improvement have been growing, there is no guarantee this will continue into the future. |
| in general and | The Group is subject to factors outside of its current control, including the outlook for economic |
| growth in demand | growth in Australia, the cash rate and interest rate movements, taxation and related policy |
| may be afected by | changes, the unemployment rate, consumer sentiment levels, home building activity, as well as |
| economic factors | broader impacts to the global economy. One or more of these factors could cause a slowing or |
| contraction in the forecasted growth in the market and industry. | |
| Competitive, market | The Australian furniture, homewares and home improvement segment is highly fragmented. |
| or reputational | Competition can arise from a number of diferent sources including domestic and foreign |
| changes could | traditional ofine retailers, including multi-channel, mono-channel, multi-branded retailers, |
| adversely afect | and online-only ecommerce competitors. Existing online competitors may strengthen through |
| demand, prices | funding or industry consolidation, or through fnancial or operational advantages which allow |
| and decrease the | them to compete aggressively on pricing. The Group is also exposed to reputational and market |
| Group’s market | risks which may impact demand for our products, including (but not limited to) negative media |
| share | coverage or product reviews, product quality incidents or recalls, or negative investor sentiment |
| or activist behaviour. Competition may also come from third-party suppliers establishing their | |
| own online presence as opposed to utilising the Group’s platform. As a result, this may increase | |
| the cost of customer acquisition, lower margins due to pricing pressure and reduce the Group’s | |
| market share. | |
| Political, economic | The Group’s suppliers and service providers are also subject to various risks which could limit |
| or social instability | their ability to provide the Group with sufcient, or any, products or services. Some of these risks |
| include raw material costs, infation, labour disputes, union activities, boycotts, fnancial liquidity, | |
| product merchantability, safety issues, natural disasters, disruption in exports, trade restrictions, | |
| currency fuctuations and general economic and political instability. The Group is also exposed to | |
| risks related to labour practices, environmental matters, disruptions to production and ability to | |
| supply, and other issues in the foreign jurisdictions where suppliers and service providers operate. | |
| This includes the risk of unethical conduct such as bribery and corruption, particularly in high-risk | |
| sourcing regions, which is closely linked to the Group’s ethical sourcing and modern slavery | |
| commitments. Any of these risks, individually or collectively, could materially adversely afect | |
| the Group’s fnancial and operational performance. | |
| Supply chain might | There remains a risk that an unforeseen, rare and impactful event (including but not limited to |
| be disrupted | pandemics, military conficts and terrorist attacks) may cause a signifcant disruption in the |
| Group’s supply chain. This could occur if the ability to transport products between countries or | |
| States of Australia is disrupted, the Group’s key suppliers are negatively afected, or the Group | |
| is otherwise unable to efciently distribute products to customers. In the event that the supply | |
| chain of the Group is disrupted, this may have a material adverse efect on the Group’s operating | |
| performance and earnings. |

| Performance, | The Group’s fnancial and operational performance could be adversely afected by a system |
|---|---|
| reliability and | failure that causes disruption to its websites, or to third party suppliers of its systems and |
| security of websites, | products, which may or may not be the result of a cybersecurity incident. This could directly |
| databases, operating | damage the reputation and brand of the relevant platform and could reduce visitors to the |

| are hosted on platforms provided by third-party providers. As a result, the Group is subject to | |
| its own disaster planning contingencies and those of its third parties to deal with events that are | |
| beyond the control of those parties such as natural disasters, infrastructure failures, terrorist and | |
| cyber-attacks. A material failure in the systems of a third-party provider is likely to have a material | |
| impact on the systems and operations of the Group’s platforms. | |
| Unauthorised use of | Substantial parts of the Group’s online platforms, distribution software, applications, data |
| intellectual property | analytics and customer databases are seen as proprietary information. Unauthorised parties may |
| or independent | obtain or copy, or seek to imitate all or portions of this intellectual property, or independently |
| development of | develop technology that is similar and may be in breach of proprietary rights. In this instance, |
| technology | the Group may seek legal actions to remedy the breach of proprietary information. This may |
| incur legal or other fees and, if unsuccessful, may have a materially adverse efect on the Group’s | |
| fnancial and operational performance in the future. | |
| Laws and | The Group is subject to, and must comply with, a variety of laws and regulations in the ordinary |
| regulations | course of its business. These laws and regulations include those that relate to fair trading and |
| may change | consumer protection, product safety, employment, property, taxation (including goods and |
| services taxes and stamp duty), accounting standards, customs and tarifs. This also includes | |
| emerging workplace safety obligations, such as psychosocial risk regulations and updates to | |
| workplace health and safety codes of practice. Failure to comply with, or changes to, laws and | |
| regulations may adversely afect the Group, including by increasing its costs either directly or | |
| indirectly (including by increasing the cost to the business of complying with legal requirements). | |
| Key Management | The Group relies on the expertise, experience and strategic direction provided by its KMP. These |
| Personnel (‘KMP’) | individuals have extensive experience in, and knowledge of, the Group’s business. Additionally, |
| and employee | successful operation of the Group’s business depends on its ability to attract and retain quality |
| retention | employees. Competition could increase the demand for, and cost of hiring, quality employees. The |
| Group’s ability to meet its labour needs while controlling costs associated with hiring and training | |
| employees is subject to external factors such as unemployment rates, prevailing wage legislation | |
| and changing demographics. There is also increasing stakeholder expectation for values-led | |
| leadership. The Group recognises this and continues to embed ethical conduct expectations at all | |
| levels. | |
| Brand and | The Group is exposed to a range of brand and reputational risks that may negatively impact |
| reputational damage | customer trust, investor confdence or public perception. These include public complaint |
| escalation, inappropriate or misjudged content on owned channels, infuencer or ambassador | |
| misconduct, and misalignment between the Group’s brand positioning and partnerships or | |
| campaigns. Increasing use of artifcial intelligence (‘AI’) tools also introduces the risk of inaccurate | |
| or inappropriate content being published without oversight. In addition, inappropriate public | |
| comments or behaviour by employees or executives may go viral and attract media or regulatory | |
| scrutiny. The Group manages these risks through strong brand governance, training, layered | |
| content reviews, monitoring of social and media sentiment, and clearly defned protocols for | |
| escalation and spokesperson conduct. |

Remuneration report
Dear shareholders,
On behalf of the Board, it gives me pleasure to present the FY25 remuneration report.
FY25 was another record year for Temple & Webster, with revenue of $600.7 million, up 20.7% year-on-year, and active customers reaching 1.3 million. We were able to achieve this growth in revenue and market share whilst also improving profitability, with EBITDA of $18.8 million for FY25, representing a margin of 3.1% (up from 2.6% in FY24, pre-one-off costs). This result was above the top-end of our guidance range. We finished the year with $144.3 million of cash on balance sheet and no debt, remaining well capitalised to execute on organic and inorganic opportunities going forward.
Importantly, our FY25 results and achievements demonstrate that we continue to execute well across our five strategic goals, and towards our mid-term strategy to achieve $1 billion+ in annual revenue (as first outlined in August 2023). We have improved our overall brand recognition following two years of brand investment, increased exclusive product penetration, and are seeing improvements in conversion rates and costs from our continued investment in AI, data and technology. We have also seen a reduction in our fixed costs as a percentage of revenue in FY25.
In FY25, we continued our focus on our people, prioritising wellbeing and the retention of top talent through the roll-out of a comprehensive people program encompassing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, actionable engagement survey insights, targeted learning skill sprints, and the implementation of our capability framework.
The Board has established a remuneration framework that clearly links the Group’s performance to remuneration outcomes for senior management, and rewards the continued execution of the Group’s strategic goals.
The Board is confident that the outcomes described below are fair and reasonable. We believe that the outcomes strike the right balance between rewarding and motivating our key executives and meeting the expectations of our shareholders.
FY25 Remuneration Outcomes
The key remuneration outcomes for FY25 were:
-
Despite the continued strong performance of the Company, there was no change to the remuneration package for the CEO in FY25. This is in accordance with the terms of the CEO’s remuneration approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM (see further section 5.2).
-
Mr Adam McWhinney, Chief Experience Officer (‘CXO’), received a 4.5% increase in fixed remuneration. He also had his target and stretch short-term and long-term incentive increased to 50% and 80% of fixed remuneration respectively, to align with the package agreed with Mr Cameron Barnsley, the new Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’).
-
The FY25 short-term variable remuneration (‘STVR’) outcomes for the CFO and CXO were both 120% of target, respectively. Further details regarding the STVR outcomes are set out in section 4.2 of this report.
-
As the Temple & Webster share price at the end of the FY22-24 performance period (ended 30 June 2024) was below the share price at the start of the period, the positive total shareholder return (‘TSR’) gateway was not met and no portion of the FY22 long-term variable remuneration (‘LTVR’) award vested.
Financial Report 2025 11
Remuneration report continued
-
The CXO and CFO received LTVR awards in FY25. The awards have 50% of the award measured against a relative total shareholder return (‘RTSR‘) target, measuring the Group’s TSR over the measurement period with the constituents of the ASX 300 Industrials Index (a change from FY24 and earlier awards in which Temple & Webster’s TSR was measured against the Index itself). The remaining 50% of the award has an earnings per share growth (‘EPSG’) hurdle. As in FY23 and FY24, the structure of the LTVR awards prioritises and rewards RTSR growth, to give the executive team and the Board flexibility to adapt the Group’s strategy as the market evolves. The maximum reward will only be permitted under the awards where Temple & Webster has materially outperformed the market. Further details of these awards are set out in section 5.1 of this report.
-
No changes to Board fees in FY25. Three Non-Executive Directors sacrificed a portion of their fees to receive rights under the Temple & Webster Group Ltd NED Equity Plan (‘NED Equity Plan’) in FY25.
FY25 Executive KMP and Board changes
As noted in the FY24 Remuneration Report, effective 2 September 2024, Mr Barnsley joined Temple & Webster in the CFO role. Mr Barnsley replaced Mr Mark Tayler who moved to a new, non-KMP executive role within the Group.
There were no further changes to Executive KMP or the Board in FY25.
Looking forward to FY26
-
There will be no changes to the CEO’s remuneration in FY26. A focus for the year looking forward will be to explore the remuneration package of the CEO for FY27 and beyond.
-
Both the CFO and CXO will receive a 4% increase in fixed remuneration in FY26, consistent with salary increases across the broader organisation. Their target and stretch short and long term incentive opportunities, at 50% and 80% of fixed remuneration respectively, will remain unchanged.
-
The Board has determined that the structure of the STVR and LTVR programs will be the same as the programs run in FY25. The same overall metrics (revenue growth, EBITDA, net promoter score (‘NPS’) and employee engagement) and weighting will apply to the Group targets used for the STVR awards. The same RTSR and EPS Growth hurdles will be used for the LTVR awards.
-
The FY26 Board base and committee fees will increase by approximately 6% in FY26. This is the first increase in fees since FY24. This is broadly in line with CPI increases across the last two years.
-
Over the FY23-25 measurement period (ended 30 June 2025) for the FY23 LTVR awards, the Group’s TSR was 490% with an 80% CAGR, compared to TSR for the ASX 300 Industrials Total Return Index of 52% and a CAGR of 15%. Over this three-year period, the Group’s share price increased from $3.32 at 30 June 2022 to $21.32 at 30 June 2025. This result materially exceeded stretch performance for the iTSR hurdled awards. As the Group’s EPS Growth of this period was below the 8% threshold level, under the terms of the FY23 LTVR award (set out in the FY23 Remuneration Report) the stretch iTSR performance results in 100% of the iTSR hurdled rights and 100% of the EPSG hurdled rights vesting in August 2025. This iTSR ‘override’ was specifically put in place in line with the Group’s strategy that prioritises and rewards TSR growth, and only permits maximum reward under the LTVR award terms where the Group has materially outperformed the market. Further details on these results are set out in section 5.2 below.
I hope the information in this year’s Remuneration report helps shareholders to understand how the Group manages remuneration.

The CEO, Mark Coulter, does not receive an annual LTVR award as he received a single award of options in FY23 designed to be his equity awards over a four-year term (FY23 – FY26). Accordingly, in calculating his FY25 remuneration mix, Mark Coulter’s LTVR component value was determined by pro-rating the value of his FY23 option award (as determined by an independent valuer), so that one-quarter of the value was attributed to FY25 (refer to section 5.2 for more details).
2.3 Group’s performance at-a-glance

3. Remuneration framework, strategy and governance
3.1 Executive remuneration – fixed remuneration, total remuneration package and variable remuneration framework
Total remuneration package (‘TRP’) is intended to be composed of an appropriate mix of remuneration elements including fixed remuneration, short-term variable remuneration and long-term variable remuneration. This structure applies to all Executive KMP and senior management, other than the CEO.

Variable remuneration is not a ‘bonus’, but a blend of at-risk remuneration (below target) and incentives (above target and up to stretch). Metrics selected are intended to be linked to the primary drivers of value creation for stakeholders, and successful implementation of the long-term strategy over both the short and long term. Thresholds are intended to be a near-miss of expectations, while target is intended to be a challenging but realistically achievable objective with a probability of around 50% to 60%. Stretch, on the other hand, is designed to be exceptionally challenging with a probability of around 10% to 20%.

Remuneration report (audited) continued
3.2 Benchmarking Approach
Executive KMP remuneration has been tested regularly by reference to appropriate independently sourced comparable benchmark data, and specific advice as may be appropriate from time to time. Previously, two peer groups were used to benchmark Executive KMP and senior executives of the Group. A primary peer group consisting of Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology focused companies, with 15 above and 15 below the Company’s market capitalisation. A secondary peer group based on market capitalisation (using ASX-listed companies within 50-200% of Temple & Webster’s 12-month market capitalisation). However, recent benchmarking has used a job-sizing approach, where each role is independently assessed based on its responsibilities, complexity, and required skills. This has been done using external, independent databases and standardised methodologies to ensure fair and market-aligned evaluations. Benchmarks may be adjusted upwards or downwards for variations in role design compared to market benchmark roles, and individual remuneration may vary to reflect individual factors such as experience, qualifications and performance.
The Board will continue to monitor market positioning to ensure that appropriate talent can be attracted, retained and aligned to the strategic needs of the business. More detail on the TRP is set out in section 7.1.
3.3 Remuneration governance framework
The Board takes an active role in the governance and oversight of the Group’s remuneration policies and practices. Approval of certain key remuneration practices reserved for the Board, including appointing the CEO, and monitoring their performance and other key senior executives. In addition, the Board has final approval of the Group’s remuneration framework, including approving remuneration of the CEO, the remuneration policy and succession plans for the CEO. However, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in terms of the remuneration structures, processes and annual remuneration cycle of the Board and its senior executives, including all Executive KMPs, as well as Group culture and employee engagement.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has a formal Charter which outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Committee. This is available on the Group website (templeandwebstergroup.com.au). The Committee’s responsibilities include:
-
providing advice and recommendations to the Board with respect to the appointment and removal of directors and senior executives;
-
providing the Board with advice and recommendations regarding executive and senior executive remuneration policy;
-
reviewing and providing recommendations to the Board with respect to the remuneration packages of senior executives and executive directors;
-
providing advice to the Board with respect to Non-executive Directors’ remuneration;
-
reviewing and providing recommendations to the Board with respect to incentive schemes; and
-
reviewing and providing recommendations to the Board on the Group’s remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination policies.
The Group has a Securities Dealing Policy which outlines under what circumstances and when, trading in the Group’s securities by KMP and other nominated employees may be permitted or prohibited. This is available on the Group website.
The Group also has a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, which supports the Board and management in making sustainable and appropriate decisions around hiring, career development and remuneration. This is available on the Group website as well.
3.4 External remuneration consultants
External Remuneration Consultant Engagement Policy is intended to ensure the independence of any recommendation received regarding KMP remuneration. In addition to the requirements outlined in the Corporations Act, it requires the external remuneration consultant notify the Board if management contacts the external remuneration consultant on remuneration matters outside of interactions approved or supervised by the Board, such as the provision of factual information for benchmarking purposes.
During FY25 no external remuneration consultants were engaged by the Board to provide remuneration recommendations for any KMP. Executive remuneration data was provided by Mercer, which formed the basis of the Board’s decisions regarding executive remuneration increases during the year.

| period | |
| Opportunity | The target value for Executive KMP participating in the STVR was 50% of fxed remuneration, |
| with a maximum stretch target of 80% of fxed remuneration. | |
| Outcome metrics | The STVR was dependent on meeting Group and individual performance objectives. |
| and weightings | For FY25, the metrics were as follows: |
| Group targets – weighted at 80% of target opportunity. These Group Targets include: | |
| • revenue growth – 30% weighting; | |
| • EBITDA margin – 30% weighting; | |
| • customer satisfaction (NPS) – 20% weighting; and | |
| • employee engagement – 20% weighting. | |
| Individual targets – weighted at 20% of target opportunity. | |
| These metrics were selected because they are viewed by the Board as the primary drivers | |
| of value creation for the business in FY25. | |
| Settlement | Awards are determined following release of the audited fnancial statements after the end of the |
| fnancial year. The Board has discretion to determine whether the STVR award is settled in cash or | |
| in equity interests such as rights. | |
| The Board elected to settle the FY25 STVR in cash. | |
| Malus and clawback | Should the Board determine that any portion of STVR is deferred, the deferral would be in the |
| form of share rights and therefore subject to the malus and clawback clauses under the Group’s | |
| Rights plan (see further section 5.1). | |
| Board discretions | The Board has discretion to modify the awards payable to participants regardless of any |
| performance outcome or gate, to ensure that outcomes are appropriate to the circumstances | |
| that prevailed over the Measurement period. | |
| Corporate actions | The Board has discretion to determine the treatment of unpaid STVR in the case of major |
| corporate actions such as a change in control, delisting, major return of capital or demerger. |

4.2 Executive KMP STVR plan – objectives and outcomes
All Executive KMP, aside from the CEO, participated in the STVR Plan in FY25.

----- Start of picture text -----
Metric/measure Performance/comment
Group targets (80% of total opportunity)
----- End of picture text -----
Revenue growth (30% weighting of Group target)
Revenue growth is a critical metric when assessing the performance of the business. For FY25, this measure compares TPW’s revenue to FY24, with threshold, target and stretch performance set at 20%, 25% and 30% growth respectively.
The Group delivered a very strong result with revenue of $600.7 million, an improvement of 20.7% on the prior year. However, due to the challenging nature of the STVR revenue metrics this result was judged at between threshold and target.
EBITDA margin (30% weighting of Group target)
This measure tracks EBITDA margin with a minimum 1.7% margin required at threshold, with target and stretch set at 2% and 3% respectively.
EBITDA of 3.1% of revenue was above the Group’s stated guidance range for the year and above the stretch target from the STVR point of view.
Customer satisfaction (20% weighting of Group target)
Customer experience and satisfaction are critical to the success of the Group. This measure tracks customer satisfaction using Net Promoter Score (‘NPS’) scoring, with threshold performance at 60%, target NPS set at 62.5% and stretch at 65%.
The Group has consistently set challenging NPS metrics, reflecting the importance the Group places on customer satisfaction. In FY25, the Group achieved a rating just above target of 62.9%.
Employee engagement (20% weighting of Group target)
The Group’s employees are one of its key assets and primary drivers of success. It is vitally important they are engaged as measured by Industry Employee Engagement Benchmarks as measured against the All Australia Benchmark. Threshold performance requires beating the Benchmark, target is a Top 25% performance and stretch being in the top 10% of the Benchmark.
The FY25 result was an engagement level between target and stretch, achieving a result in the top quartile of the All Australia comparator group. This is an excellent result and demonstrates the importance placed on employee engagement in the Group and reflects the high level of engagement across the employee base.
20 Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Metric/measure Performance/comment Individual targets (20% of total opportunity)
The individual targets are determined by the CEO based on performance against the Temple & Webster executive leader values and the execution of any special projects agreed between the CXO or CFO and the CEO during FY25.
The CXO’s personal targets were assessed against the Group’s leadership values framework. In FY25, the CXO was given an overall rating of ‘5’. This was based on sustained improvement across key performance areas, including a year-on-year uplift in conversion rates and consistent customer experience metrics (including improved NPS), supported by an ongoing program of experimentation and optimisation. Engagement scores for the CXO’s teams remained strong with one team achieving the highest engagement score in the Company. Strategic leadership was provided across initiatives in experimentation, personalisation, AI-enhanced customer experience, accessibility, and Reconciliation Action Plan delivery.
The CFO’s personal targets were assessed against the Group’s leadership values framework. In FY25, the CFO was given an overall rating of ‘5’. This rating was based on the pace at which he integrated into the business, implementation of new policies and procedures within the finance function, execution of specific initiatives to drive both revenue growth and margin improvement, and prioritising team well being and development opportunities. In particular, he led the implementation of new capital management and investment frameworks, the enhancement of the Group’s M&A assessment process, the implementation of new investor relations and corporate communications strategies, and the expansion of the Group’s risk management and compliance functions.
The table below sets out the actual STVR outcomes as a percentage of their maximum STVR opportunity for FY25 and FY24.
| Executive KMP1 | FY25 | FY24 |
|---|---|---|
| Adam McWhinney | 75.2% | 67.2% |
| Cameron Barnsley | 75.2% | n/a |
- The CEO did not participate in the STVR Plan in either FY24 or FY25.
The Board considers the FY25 remuneration outcomes to be appropriately aligned with the Company’s remuneration framework and shareholder interests. This alignment is demonstrated by the Group’s and individual executives’ achievement of annual performance targets and significant progress towards strategic growth objectives, despite challenging economic conditions. The Board is satisfied that remuneration outcomes fairly reflect performance and support long-term value creation for shareholders.

Term Detail
----- End of picture text -----
| Purpose | To provide at-risk remuneration and incentives that reward executives for performance against |
|---|---|
| long-term value creation objectives set by the Board at the beginning of the fnancial year and | |
| to align the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders. | |
| Measurement | 3 years from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. |
| period | |
| Opportunity | The target value is 50% of fxed remuneration, with a maximum 80% of fxed remuneration. |
| Price | The price is nil because it forms part of the remuneration of the participant. |
| Exercise price | The exercise price is nil. |
| Allocation | The grant number is determined by dividing the stretch LTVR value by the 30-day volume weighted |
| method | average price (‘VWAP’) following the release of the fnancial results for FY24. |
| Performance | Performance rights granted in FY25 have two performance hurdles, each with a 50% weighting. |
| metrics and weightings |
1. Performance rights with a relative total shareholder return (‘RTSR’) vesting condition. |
| The vesting of such Performance rights will be determined by comparing the Group’s TSR over the | |
| Measurement period with the TSR of the constituents of the ASX 300 Industrials Index (‘Comparator | |
| Group’) according to the following vesting scale: |
| TSR of the Group vs TSR of the | Vesting | |
|---|---|---|
| Performance level | Comparator Group | % |
| Stretch | At or above the 75thpercentile | 100% |
| Target | At the 62.5thpercentile | 75% |
| Threshold | At the 50thpercentile | 50% |
| Below threshold | Below the 50thpercentile | 0% |
Outcomes that fall between the specified levels of performance will result in a pro-rata calculation being applied.
TSR is the sum of share price appreciation and dividends (assumed to be reinvested in shares) during the Measurement period. It is annualised for the purposes of the above vesting scale. The TSR of the Group over the Measurement period will be calculated and converted to a Compound Annual Growth Rate (‘CAGR’) value for the purposes of assessment against this scale. During periods of nil dividends being declared, TSR is equal to change in share price.

| Performance | This metric was selected because it is the best measure of value creation for shareholders that adjusts |
|---|---|
| metrics and | for windfall gains and losses arising from broad market movements. |
| weightings (continued) |
Equity grants are tested against the performance measures set. If the performance metric is not met |
| at the vesting date, Performance rights lapse. | |
| 2. Performance rights with an Earnings Per Share Growth (‘EPSG’) target vesting condition. | |
| EPSG is the CAGR in the Group’s basic earnings per share calculated by dividing the Group’s earnings | |
| by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the fnancial year. The Rights | |
| will vest according to the following vesting scale. |
| Vesting | ||
|---|---|---|
| Performance level | Earnings per Share growth | % |
| Stretch | 15% CAGR | 100% |
| Target | 10% CAGR | 50% |
| Threshold | 8% CAGR | 0% |
| Below threshold | Below 8% CAGR | 0% |
| For the purposes of calculating the EPSG during the Measurement period the relevant earnings to be | |
|---|---|
| used for: | |
| • the opening of the Measurement period will be as set out in the audited annual consolidated | |
| accounts for the year ending 30 June 2024; and | |
| • the closing of the Measurement period will be as set out in the audited annual consolidated | |
| accounts for the year ending 30 June 2027. | |
| In each case, the EPSG calculation is subject to the Board’s discretion to normalise earnings to ensure | |
| comparison is being made on a like for like basis and/or to exclude the efects of extraordinary events, | |
| material business acquisitions or divestments and for certain one-of costs. | |
| Note: The RTSR and EPSG vesting conditions will be assessed separately by the Board at the end of the Measurement period. | |
| However, where target EPSG performance has not been achieved, a portion of the EPSG Performance rights may still vest, depending | |
| on the level of performance achieved under the RTSR vesting condition. If 100% of the RTSR hurdled rights vest, then all of the EPSG | |
| rights are also eligible to vest (resulting in 100% of the entire award vesting). If RTSR performance is achieved such that 75% or more | |
| of RTSR rights vest (up to 100%), then a maximum of 50% of EPSG Rights can also vest. This RTSR ‘override’ prioritises and rewards RTSR growth, to give management and the Board fexibility to adapt the Group’s strategy as the market evolves, but only permitting |
|
| maximum reward under the LTVR award where the Group has materially outperformed the market. | |
| Gate | RTSR Performance rights are subject to a positive TSR gate to ensure the grant does not vest when |
| shareholders are losing value. There are no such gate restrictions for EPSG. | |
| Vesting Date | The vesting date of these awards will be the date advised in writing by the Board following |
| consideration of the performance metrics after the Measurement period. | |
| Retesting | No retesting of the performance metrics will apply. |
| Settlement | The rights are ‘indeterminate rights’ which may be settled in the form of a Company share (including |
| a restricted share), or cash equivalent at the discretion of the Board, upon valid exercise. | |
| Disposal | Shares that result from the exercise of rights will be subject to a disposal restriction such that they |
| restrictions | may not be disposed of or otherwise dealt with until the elapsing of two years following the end |
| of the Measurement period. There are also additional disposal restrictions which may apply where | |
| the sale of shares acquired on exercise of vested rights may be prohibited due to the Group’s Share | |
| Trading Policy, and the Corporations Act. |

| Process on | Rights will be automatically exercised, depending to the extent the Vesting Conditions have been met, |
|---|---|
| vesting | otherwise they will lapse. |
| Service | In addition to the performance conditions, continued service during the full frst year of the |
| condition | Measurement period is a requirement for any rights to become eligible to vest. |
| Termination of | In the case of a termination of employment in the frst year of the Measurement period, unvested |
| employment | Performance rights will be forfeited at termination, unless otherwise determined by the Board. |
| All other unvested Performance rights will be forfeited pro-rata based on the remaining portion of | |
| the Measurement period, with any remainder retained for possible vesting based on performance | |
| during the Measurement period. | |
| In the case of termination due to dismissal for cause or otherwise as determined by the Board, | |
| all unvested Performance rights will be forfeited and lapse. | |
| Malus and | The rights plan includes malus and clawback clauses which will result in forfeiture of unvested |
| clawback | rights in a range of circumstances, including material misstatements resulting in overpayment, or |
| the participant joining a competitor or being involved in actions that are deemed to have harmed | |
| other stakeholders. | |
| Board | The Board has discretion to modify vesting to participants regardless of any performance outcome |
| discretions | or gate, to ensure that outcomes are appropriate to the circumstances that prevailed over the |
| Measurement period. | |
| Corporate | In the case of a change in control, the modifcations are subject to the Board’s discretion. |
| actions | In the case of a delisting of the Group’s shares, the automatic vesting will occur based on the increase |
| in the share price since the start of the Measurement period, with Board discretion regarding the | |
| lapsing or vesting of any remainder. | |
| In the case of a major return of capital or demerger, the Board has discretion to bring forward | |
| vesting or to alter the number of rights or the exercise price or to alter vesting conditions to ensure | |
| that the outcome is fair to participants. This is because, following such an event, the share price is | |
| likely to be materially diferent from the basis of the grant, and performance conditions set may be | |
| unable to be met. |
5.2 Prior years equity awards
FY22 LTVR awards
In FY22, LTVR awards were granted to the CXO, the former CFO and non-KMP executives. The FY22 LTVR awards were Performance rights with a Measurement period of three years from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024. The awards were issued at no cost to all executives, including the CXO and the former CFO, and had a nil exercise price.
For the FY22 LTVR awards, an indexed TSR (‘iTSR’) hurdle applies to the entire award, and it has a positive TSR gateway. This iTSR hurdle requires the TSR of the Group to be above the TSR of the ASX 300 Industrials Total Return Index to meet threshold and for any portion of the award to vest. Target and Stretch vesting results in 50% and 100% of the award vesting and requires Index TSR +5% TSR p.a. and Index TSR +10% TSR p.a. respectively. Pro-rata vesting occurs between these points.
For the three-year period ended 30 June 2024, Temple & Webster’s share price at the end of the performance period was lower than its share price at the commencement of the period. Accordingly, the positive TSR gate was not met and no portion of the award vested.
24 Temple & Webster Group Ltd
FY23 and FY24 LTVR awards
The FY23 and FY24 LTVR awards are structured so that fifty percent (50%) of the awards have an iTSR hurdle with the same vesting schedule as the iTSR vesting schedule set out above for the FY22 awards. The remaining fifty percent (50%) have an EPSG hurdle, with the same vesting schedule as set out above for the FY25 award. The FY23 and FY24 LTVR awards have three-year Measurement periods, 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 and 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026 respectively.
On completion of the Measurement period, the awards will vest or lapse in FY26 and FY27 respectively once the Board has determined the extent to which the performance hurdle has been met. The iTSR and EPSG vesting conditions will be assessed separately by the Board at the end of the Measurement period. However, where target EPSG performance has not been achieved, a portion of the EPSG Performance rights may still vest, depending on the level of performance achieved under the iTSR vesting condition.
Other key terms of the FY23 and FY24 awards are as noted above for the FY25 awards (except that the FY23 and FY24 awards are not auto-exercised and may be exercised within 15 years of grant, otherwise they lapse).
The FY23 LTVR iTSR performance saw the Group’s TSR for the measurement period reach 490%, measured against the TSR of the ASX 300 Industrials Total Return Index of 52% for the same period (over 900% better than the Index of this three-year period). This exceptional Group TSR result materially exceeded the stretch iTSR hurdle of ‘Index TSR +10% p.a.’ by a significant margin. The EPSG hurdle was not met, with performance below threshold as the FY25 EPS result of 9.52 cps, was below the FY22 EPS of 9.93 cps and below the 8% CAGR threshold required over the period.
However, as set out in the FY23 Remuneration Report and the terms of the FY23 LTVR awards, because a stretch iTSR result has been achieved, with EPSG performance below target, then both 100% of the iTSR hurdled rights and 100% of the EPSG hurdled rights will vest in August 2025. This iTSR ‘override’ was specifically put in place in line with the Group’s strategy that prioritises and rewards TSR growth. This was (and is) intended to provide management and the Board with the flexibility to adapt the Group’s strategy as market conditions evolve. Maximum reward under the LTVR award terms is only available where the Group has materially outperformed the market. This was demonstrated over the three-year FY23 LTVR measurement period, during which the share price increased from $3.32 to $21.32.
FY23 CEO Option awards
In FY23, the CEO was awarded 3,600,000 Options which vest on the date the FY26 annual accounts are approved, in August 2026. The options are intended to be the CEO’s only variable incentive over the four-year period (FY23-FY26). No additional long-term variable awards will be made to the CEO over this period. The options awarded to the CEO are set at a significant premium to the Group’s share price at the date of grant in November 2022 (which was $5.27). The options are split into three equal tranches of 1,200,000 options, with an exercise price of $7.06, $9.53 and $12.86 respectively. No value will arise for the CEO unless there is a significant increase in the value of the Group’s shares over the vesting period.
The CEO must remain continuously employed by the Group from the date of grant to the date the FY26 annual accounts are approved, and all three tranches can be exercised once the service condition is met. Where the CEO ceases employment with the Group, all unvested options lapse. However, where employment ceases due to a Special circumstance, which includes total and permanent disability, death or redundancy, the Board has a discretion to allow accelerated vesting. The options will lapse on the earlier of 15 years or any earlier lapsing event occurring (such as early vesting or cancellation). Further detail regarding these awards was set out in the FY23 Remuneration Report.

6. Non-executive Director remuneration
6.1 Non-executive Directors’ fee policy
The principles that the Group applies to governing the Non-executive Directors’ remuneration are outlined below.
Principles
-
Fees for Non-executive Directors are based on the nature of the directors’ work and their responsibilities, taking into account the nature and complexity of the Group and the skills and experience of the directors.
-
Non-executive Directors’ fees are recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and determined by the Board.
-
External consultants are used to source the relevant data and commentary and to obtain independent recommendations given the potential for a conflict of interest in the Board setting its own fees.
-
Fees are intended to be positioned around the 50[th] percentile of the tailored market benchmarks.
Fees structured to preserve independence
To preserve independence and impartiality, Non-executive Directors are not entitled to any form of variable remuneration payments and the level of their fees is not set with reference to measures of the Group’s performance.
Aggregate Board Fees approved by shareholders
The total amount of fees paid to Non-executive Directors in FY25 is within the aggregate amount approved at a general meeting of the Group on 18 October 2021 of $1,100,000 a year. Grants of equity approved by shareholders are excluded from counting towards the aggregate Board Fees, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
Board and Committee fees
The following outlines the Board Fees applicable as at the end of FY25 which were subject to independent review by external remuneration consultants on a periodic basis:
| Nomination | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Audit and Risk | and | ||
| Management | Remuneration | ||
| Role/function | Main Board | Committee | Committee |
| Chair | $223,388 | $21,000 | $21,000 |
| Deputy Chair | $141,750 | n/a | n/a |
| Member | $120,750 | $10,500 | $10,500 |
Fees are expressed as inclusive of superannuation. Any increases to superannuation contributions are absorbed within the applicable Board fees. The Board Chair does not receive Committee fees. Non-executive Directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the Group’s business. There is an option to sacrifice part of the fee in exchange for equity or other benefits (i.e., the values are inclusive of any equity). In FY25, three Non-executive Directors elected to have part of their directors’ fees paid in Restricted rights.

| restrictions removed on cessation of directorship (provided they do not remain employed with | |
| the Group). |

-
Note that the LTVR value reported in this table is the amortised accounting charge of all grants that have not lapsed or vested as at the start of the reporting period.
-
Not included in TRP.
-
TRP values for CEO are mainly due to valuation of options awarded and LTVR expense applied in FY24 and FY25. See further section 5.2 on details of options awarded including details of premium exercise prices which must be met for options to be exercised.

In FY25, the nominated Non-executive Directors elected to have part of their directors’ fees paid in Restricted rights under the ‘NED Equity Plan’ which reduced the Cash Board fees (refer to section 6.1 and 6.2 above for further details). As there was no fee sacrifice into Restricted rights in FY24, the Board fees (paid in cash), were higher in FY24 than in FY25. As per the Group’s accounting policy, the FY25 Restricted rights were accounted for at fair value at the grant date which is shown under the ‘Equity Grant Expense’ column above. As a result, there is a difference between the total fees paid to the Non-executive Directors per the above table and what would have been the total fees paid to them in cash.
-
Conrad Yiu elected not to receive superannuation from the Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 1. Corporate information
The consolidated financial statements cover Temple & Webster Group Ltd (referred to as ‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as a Group consisting of Temple & Webster Group Ltd and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (collectively referred to in these consolidated financial statements as the ‘Group’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Temple & Webster Group Ltd’s functional and presentation currency.
Temple & Webster Group Ltd is a for profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Group’s principal place of business is:
Building 2/1-7 Unwins Bridge Road St Peters, NSW 2044
A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ report, which is not part of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 14 August 2025. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the stated accounting policy. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation. This calculation requires the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of long-term variable remuneration (‘LTVR’) performance rights is determined by using either the Trinomial, Monte Carlo or Black-Scholes models, as appropriate, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s judgement on the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The fair value of short-term variable remuneration (‘STVR’) performance rights is based on the market value of Temple & Webster Group Ltd shares less dividend yield at the date each performance right is accepted by the participant, or a fixed percentage of remuneration as determined by the Performance Rights Plan. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Financial Report 2025 39
Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Refunds provision
In determining the level of the provision, the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected return of products, number of customers who will actually return the products and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the return.
Historical experience and current knowledge of the performance of the products have been used in determining this provision. Refer to note 16 for further details.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. Refer to note 6 for further details.
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. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew, i.e. 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 (e.g. a change in business strategy). For the building lease, the Group has not included the renewal period as part of the lease term.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group operates in one segment being the sale of furniture, homewares and home improvement products through its online platform. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors, who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.
The operating segment information is the same information as provided throughout the consolidated financial statements and therefore not duplicated. The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis.

Accounting policy for revenue
Revenue recognition
AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under the standard, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. AASB 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract.
Contracts with customers and performance obligations
The Group sells furniture and homewares online to both end consumers and commercial customers. Each sale represents a separate identified contract with a customer for which generally two performance obligations are expected: sales of goods and purchase protection revenue. For sales of goods, the revenue is recognised at a point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods, whilst purchase protection is recognised over time.
Transaction price and variable consideration
In accordance with the standard, when a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group recognises revenue to the extent of the transaction price allocated to that performance obligation taking into account the impact of constraints arising from variable consideration. If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Some contracts provide customers with a right of return and/or trade discounts. Such provisions might give rise to variable consideration.
Right-of-return
When a contract with a customer provides a right to return the goods within a specified period, a provision for the amount of revenue related to the expected returns is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, and an asset for the right to recover products from customers on settling the refund liability.
Deferred revenue – gift cards/store credits
When a customer purchases a gift card, it is pre-paying for goods or services to be delivered in the future. The Group has an obligation to transfer, or stand ready to transfer, the goods or services in the future – creating a performance obligation. The Group recognises a contract liability for the prepayment and derecognises the liability (and recognises revenue) when it fulfils the performance obligation. As a result, revenue from the sale of a gift card is recognised when the Group supplies the goods upon exercise of the gift card. Store credits are treated in a similar way with the difference that no cash was received from customers when they are issued. Breakage (i.e. the customer’s unexercised right) is to be estimated and recognised as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer.
Deferred revenue – other
Generally, the Group receives only short-term advances from its customers. The Group does not receive material long-term advances. The Group has decided to use the practical expedient provided under the standard to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component in the contracts, where the Group expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Group transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Group concludes this does not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Presentation and disclosure requirements
As required for the consolidated financial statements, the Group disaggregated revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict the nature and amount. Refer above for the disclosure on disaggregated revenue.

42 Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Accounting policy for leases
Set out below are the accounting policies of the Group in relation to AASB 16 Leases .
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
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 commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment, consistent with the Group’s property, plant and equipment.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the 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 less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, 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 variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in 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 lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the 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.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of equipment that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Presentation and disclosure requirements
As required for the consolidated financial statements, the Group has recognised the relevant Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities in relation to the leases the Group currently holds.

The Group classifies interest paid as cash flows from operating activities. The undiscounted potential future rental payments pertaining to lease extension options not reflected in the lease liabilities total to $33,043,000 (2024: $26,868,000).
During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group entered into a warehouse lease contract that contains variable payments based on the number of pallets stored in the warehouse. The variable lease payment for storing pallets in this warehouse is included in warehouse expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The following provides information on the Group’s variable lease payments, including the magnitude in relation to fixed payments:
| Fixed | Variable | ||

Deferred tax assets have been recognised to the extent the Group has estimated it will be probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences. The deferred tax asset on unrecognised tax losses amounting to $2,434,000 (2024: $2,711,000) was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2025. The carry-forward tax losses have been recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts with be able to be utilised in the foreseeable future. These tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.
Financial Report 2025 45
Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Accounting for tax
Income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
i. when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
ii. when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Tax consolidated group
Temple & Webster Group Ltd (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries formed an income tax consolidated group (‘tax group’) under the tax consolidation regime with effect from 4 December 2015. Each entity in the tax group continues to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax group has applied the ‘group allocation’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to group members. In addition to its own tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the tax arising from unused tax losses and tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Franking credits
The franking credits available as at 30 June 2025 is $14,272,000 (2024: $10,351,000) from the payment of income tax.

Cost of goods sold also includes the shipping costs incurred on delivery of products to customers of $91,672,000 (2024: $74,985,000).
Accounting policy for inventories
Stock in transit and stock on hand are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.
Both stock in transit and stock on hand are finished goods for which net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs necessary to make the sale.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment, if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Plant, machinery and equipment 2 to 20 years Leasehold improvements 2 to 10 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Impairment testing
For impairment testing, goodwill and brands acquired through business combinations are allocated to the Temple & Webster CGU (‘TPW’) and amounted to $7,313,000 in the current and previous financial year. The Group performed its annual impairment test in June 2025 and June 2024. The recoverable amount of the TPW CGU was assessed based on a value-in-use calculation, using a discounted cash flow model, based on a five-year projection period including the budget approved by the Board for the financial year ended 30 June 2026. The key assumptions used to determine the value-in-use of the TPW CGU are based on the Directors’ current expectations which were considered to be reasonably achievable. However, significant changes in any of these key estimates, assumptions or regulatory environments may result in the TPW CGU carrying value exceeding its recoverable value, requiring an impairment charge to be recognised. Any reasonable possible change in any of the assumptions used did not result in an impairment charge at 30 June 2025. The key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is most sensitive.
The following key assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculation for the TPW CGU:
-
a. 13.5% pre-tax discount rate (14.5% in the previous financial year),
-
b. revenue growth in year 1 as per the next financial year budget approved by the Board (consistent approach with the previous financial year),
-
c. revenue growth in years 2 to 5 calculated based on the combination of the historical growth rates over the past four years as well as external industry data (consistent approach with the previous financial year),
-
d. 3% terminal growth rate in the current and the previous financial year.
In accordance with AASB 136 ‘Impairment of assets’, forecasts did not include estimated future cash inflows or outflows that were expected to arise from improving or enhancing the CGU’s performance.
Based on the above assumptions, the calculated recoverable amount was higher than the carrying value of the TPW CGU and therefore no impairment charge was expensed to profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2025.
No changes to the CGU structure were made in the current financial year. No reasonable possible change in assumptions would result in impairment to the CGU.
Accounting policy for impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together with a cash-generating unit.
Accounting policy for intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Financial Report 2025 51
Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Brands
Brand costs acquired are capitalised as an asset. These costs are not subsequently amortised as they have an indefinite useful life; instead they are tested annually for impairment.
Software and websites
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful lives of between two to seven years.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility, the Group is able to use or sell the asset, the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably.
Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful life of three years.
Customer relationships
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful life of four years.

These amounts represent liabilities for wages, salaries and goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the reporting period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognised for salaries and wages, annual leave and any other short-term employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Long-term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using rates attached to bonds with sufficiently long maturities at the balance sheet date, which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group’s obligations.

Accounting policy for provisions
Lease make good
The provision represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the premises leased by the Group at the end of the respective lease terms.
Refunds and replacements
The refunds provision represents the value of goods expected to be returned by customers as a result of ‘change of mind’ or defective and damaged goods receipted by customers. The replacement provision represents the value of goods expected to be replaced by the Group as a result of defective and damaged goods receipted by customers. The provisions are estimated based on historical data using the percentage of actual refunds and replacements against sales revenue and cost of goods sold.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
The on-market share buy-back program that was initiated by the Group on 17 June 2024 was concluded on 30 May 2025. Subsequently, on 2 June 2025, the Group announced a new ‘on-market’ share buy-back program for a 12 month period ending 19 June 2026.
During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group purchased 88,341 ordinary shares (2024: 1,735,838) on issue at average price of $12.29 (2024: $7.22) under the on-market share buy-back programs. All the shares bought-back were cancelled as at 30 June 2025.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares represent own equity instruments which are issued or acquired for later payment as part of employee share-based payment arrangements and deducted from equity. These shares are held in trust by the trustee of the Temple & Webster Group Ltd Employee Share Trust and vest in accordance with the conditions attached to the granting of the shares. The accounting policy applied in respect of share-based payments is disclosed in note 21. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.
56 Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Capital risk management
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings and trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company is seen as value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024. The Group used the cash and assets in a form readily convertible to cash that it had at the time of admission in a way consistent with its business objectives in the financial years ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024.
Accounting policy for contributed capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Note 21. Share-based payments
Long-Term Variable Remuneration (‘LTVR’) plans were established by the Group and approved by the Board, whereby the Group may, at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, grant performance rights, options or restricted rights over ordinary shares in the Company to employees and directors of the Group. The performance rights are issued for nil consideration and are granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The options are issued at a pre-determined consideration amount and are granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The restricted rights are issued based on participants sacrificing a portion of their salary in return for a grant of restricted rights. The LTVR performance targets are based on share price hurdles, total shareholder returns or earnings per share which are set at the beginning of the performance period and are aligned to business level strategic priorities. Each participant is required to meet a service condition for performance rights to vest.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the 2024 financial year was 1.19 years.
The Group issued Long-Term Variable Remuneration (‘LTVR’) Performance Rights and Retention Rights to the executive and management team during the current financial year. Of the total LTVR performance rights granted during the current financial year on 29 November 2024, 50% of the LTVR have market vesting condition based on Group’s Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) as compared to TSR of the constituents of the S&P/ASX 300 Industrials Index over the performance period and the remaining 50% of the LTVR have non-market vesting condition based on the achievement of a certain Earnings Per Share Growth (‘EPSG’) target.
For the LTVR performance rights granted during the current financial year to the executive and management team with a TSR target, the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant dated, are as follows:
| Share price | Exercise | Expected | Dividend | Risk-free | Fair value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant date | Vesting date | at grant date | price | volatility | yield | interest rate | at grant date |
| 29/11/2024 | 30/06/2027 | $11.81 | $0.00 | 53.00% | – | 3.92% | $8.30 |
For the LTVR performance rights granted to the executive and management team with an EPSG target, the share price on the grant date is determined to be the fair value at the grant date of $11.81.
For the LTVR performance rights granted during the previous financial years, the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant date are as follows:
| Share price | Exercise | Expected | Dividend | Risk-free | Fair value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant date | Vesting date | at grant date | price | volatility | yield | interest rate | at grant date |
| 21/12/2021 | 30/06/2024 | $10.09 | $0.00 | 63.12% | – | 0.76% | $5.90 |

Cash-settled share-based payments of $1,368,000 were granted under the STVR Plan on 1 July 2024 and vested on 30 June 2025 (2024: $1,000,000). The STVR is dependent on meeting Group and individual performance objectives and each participant is also required to meet a service condition.
Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled transactions
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. For the LTVR performance rights or options, fair value is independently determined using either the Trinomial, Monte Carlo or BlackScholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions and hurdles that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. For the STVR performance rights the valuation model used to determine the fair value at the issue date is based on the market value of Temple & Webster Group Ltd shares less dividend yield at the date each performance right was accepted by the participant, or a fixed percentage of remuneration as determined by the Performance Rights Plan.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification.
Cash-settled transactions
A liability is recognised for the fair value of cash-settled transactions. The fair value is measured initially and at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense (refer to note 5). The fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability and is determined as a percentage of the fixed remuneration.

Note 22. Equity – dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Note 23. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk) and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group’s operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a quarterly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures resulting from purchases in USD. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to six months. The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency purchases and changes in foreign exchange forward rates. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:
| Consolidated | Assets Liabilities |
|---|---|
| 2025 $’000 2024 $’000 2025 $’000 2024 $’000 |
|
| Trade and other payables Foreign exchange forward contracts |
– – 1,399 902 – 202 1,252 – |
| – 202 2,651 902 |
Based on this position, the Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency sensitivity from its existing assets or liabilities.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is not materially exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group is not materially exposed to any significant credit risk. All cash and cash equivalents are held by wellestablished banks, hence the expected default rate for these institutions is highly unlikely. All receivables are neither past due nor impaired.
Financial Report 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amounts in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Accounting policy for financial instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and are solely principal and interest. All other financial assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’).
Impairment requirements use an Expected Credit Loss (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted.
Financial assets – classification and measurement
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or profit or loss) and those to be held at amortised cost. Classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
At initial recognition, the Group measures its current financial assets at amortised cost at fair value plus transaction costs unless otherwise stated. These financial assets are subsequently measured using the Effective Interest Rate (‘EIR’) method and are subject to impairment.
For Trade and other receivables, the Group has applied the standard’s simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Other current financial assets and other non-current financial assets are initially and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, whilst all transaction costs are expensed immediately at initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as payables at amortised cost or as derivatives at fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s financial liabilities include Trade and other payables and Derivative financial instruments.
The Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Derivatives
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations arising from operating activities. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Financial Report 2025 63
Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Note 24. Fair value measurement
The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and other financial liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of current financial assets and derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which the transaction occurs or the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.
Accounting policy for fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances, and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Derivatives held by the Group are considered to be Level 2. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Temple & Webster Group Ltd, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Note 35. Material accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in the current financial year, but do not have an impact on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).
The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period with the exception of new accounting standards adopted in the period.
Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Changes in presentation
During the year ended 30 June 2025, there were certain changes in presentation to provide a clear, relevant, and comparable view of the Company’s financial performance, facilitating informed decision making by the users of these financial statements.
Financial Report 2025 69
Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued
Cash-in-transit
Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Typically, these investments have a short maturity period of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper and money market funds often qualify as cash equivalents under these criteria. However, in the context of non-banking institutions, cash in transit or other similar items often fail to meet the requirements for classification as cash and cash equivalents.
As a result, during the current financial year, cash in transit has been reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.
The comparative information has been updated in line with the above change in presentation during the year ended 30 June 2025.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these consolidated financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Temple & Webster Group Ltd as at 30 June 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
70 Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Rounding of amounts
The Group is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or, in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
Note 36. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2025. Management is currently assessing the impact of these standards on the Group’s financial statements in the year of initial application.
Note 37. Events after the reporting period
There has been no matter or circumstance that has arisen since 30 June 2025 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Temple & Webster Group Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement 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 2025 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 judgment, 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 report 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.

| Why significant | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| As disclosed in note 4 to the financial report, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The majority of the Group’s revenue transactions are completed through the “drop- ship” model, whereby suppliers deliver goods directly to the Group’s customers. The Group is the principal in these transactions; therefore, revenue is recognised as the gross selling price net of rebates and discounts. Revenue is only recognised when delivery of goods is made to the customer. Judgement is required in determining the date of delivery in instances where an order has been shipped, but delivery status remains unknown at the year end date. Due to the judgement involved in this assessment, the volume of online retail transactions processed on a daily basis, and the arrangements in place with suppliers, the timing of when revenue and deferred revenue is recognised is considered to be a key audit matter. |
Our audit procedures included the following: - Assessed the design of relevant controls in place relating to the recognition and measurement of revenue transactions. - Used data analytical procedures to corroborate expected correlations between revenue, cash and deferred revenue. - Selected a sample of revenue transactions during the financial year and subsequent to 30 June 2025 and tested whether revenue was recognised in the correct period. This included testing whether revenue transactions were recognised as deferred revenue at balance date where applicable. - Selected a sample of customer returns and credit notes issued post 30 June 2025 relating to sales recognised in the 2025 financial year and tested whether revenue was recognised in the correct period. - Assessed whether the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy applied to the terms and conditions of sale was in accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. - Assessed the adequacy of the financial report disclosures relating to revenue contained in note 4. |
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 2025 annual report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the directors’ report and Remuneration report 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.

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 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001; and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
The financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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 judgment 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.
-
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.
-
Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes 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.
