DIRECTORS

The names of the Group’s Directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Mr Louis Carroll Mr Mark Schuessler

Mr Nicholas Bolton (appointed on 30 November 2020) Mr John Patton (appointed on 5 February 2021) Mr Neville Bassett (resigned on 27 November 2020) Mr Tudor Marsden-Huggins (appointed on 7 October 2020; removed on 27 November 2020)

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

Yowie Group Limited is a global brand licensing Company, specialising in the development of consumer products designed to promote learning, understanding and engagement with the natural world through the adventures and exploits of six endearing Yowie characters. Educating children and adults about the environment and ecology and ‘Save the Natural World’ is at the heart of the Yowie proposition. Yowie Group Limited employs its companyowned intellectual property rights to supply Yowie branded chocolate confectionery product, a digital platform and Yowie branded licensed consumer products. The Group’s vision for the Yowie brand is to distribute on a widening basis the Yowie product in the US (United States of America) and AUS (Australia) with further international expansion.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the half-year the Group continued to focus on building a strong sales and distribution network both in the US and AUS markets, with some updates below.

Sales and Distribution

  • Global net sales were US$5.57 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2020, 13% lower than the previous corresponding period. The lower sales during the period was due mainly to COVID-19 related shutdowns in both the US and AUS, though the Group saw an improvement in sales in the last few months of the half year period.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had over US$0.6 million in US and AUS backlogged orders as a consequence of the manufacturing facility being shut down by government authorities due to the resurgence of COVID-19. The facility is now back producing and the Group is scheduled to have orders filled whilst maintaining a prudent level of inventory by early February.

The Group continues to maintain close communication with US and AUS retail partners who have worked with Yowie on keeping product available to consumers. Yowie shelf presence and retail consumption has been trending higher in both the US and AUS.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Sales and Distribution (continued)

  • The Group continued to progress towards broadening its distribution network and growing market share.

The Group saw continued upward Nielsen® retail $ consumption trends in the past 13 weeks (+9.5%), due to +10% in Convenience and +76.4% in Grocery.

  • In response to consumer requests, the Group will be bringing back several earlier Series in a combined promotion titled “Blast from the Past”, launching in AUS and the US during our fiscal Q4, prior to our Series 7 release (new series).

Corporate

  • The Group completed the return of capital of 4 cents per share with a total of A$8.73 million (equivalent to US$6.07 million) being returned to shareholders in July 2020.

  • Mr Tudor Marsden-Huggins joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 7 October 2020. Mr Marsden-Huggins was not re-elected at the at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2020.

  • Mr Neville Bassett resigned from his position as Non-Executive Director on 27 November 2020. Mr Bassett continues in the role of the Company Secretary.

  • Mr Nicholas Bolton and Mr John Patton joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 30 November 2020 and 5 February 2021 respectively.

Financial Overview

  • The Group maintained its Gross Margin at 51% of net sales enabling the Group to invest with retailers and marketing where appropriate.

  • EBITDA loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was US$0.14 million, an improvement from EBITDA loss of US$1.2 million for the previous corresponding period. The improvement was mainly attributable to a reduction in administration and marketing expenditures.

  • Net loss after tax attributable to members was US$0.1 million, compared to US$2.93 million in the previous corresponding period. The reduction was largely due to the impairment of the Group’s non-current assets in the previous corresponding period and an improvement in EBITDA as described above.

  • As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s consolidated cash position was US$7.98 million (30 June 2020: US$11.8 million), after the return of capital of US$6.07 million to shareholders during the half-year ended 31 December 2020.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Financial Overview (continued)

  • A summary of the cash flows for the Group during the period is as follows:
Cash flows used in:

-
(6.07 million)
(4.15 million)

0.33 million
7.98 million

The positive operating cash flow of US$1.92 million can be attributed to a reduction in overhead expenditures and reduced inventory levels due to the lower level of raw materials purchases for the half-year.

  • The net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2020 was US$7.55 million, down from US$13.4 million as at 30 June 2020. The decrease in net assets of the Group was primarily due to return of capital of US$6.07 million that was completed in July 2020.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the half-year ended 31 December 2020.

Impairment of non-current assets - 1,686,706

31 December 2020

There was no impairment of non-current assets for the period ended 31 December 2020.

31 December 2019

An impairment expense of US$152,706 was recorded to write off the carrying value of intangible assets associated with the old Yowie series.

In addition to this, the Group also completed impairment testing, as required under the Australian Accounting Standard, following the identification of impairment indicators. The result of this impairment testing indicated an additional impairment charge of US$1,534,000 to be recorded against the Group’s non-current assets. Please refer to the details below.

Impairment testing

As at 31 December 2019, impairment indicators had been identified, including the fact that the Group’s market capitalisation was less than the net assets of the Group, and the Group’s financial performance for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was below budget.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the Group’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s Value in Use (ViU) and Fair Value Less Costs of Disposal (FVLCD).

For the purpose of impairment testing as at 30 June 2019, the Group first performed an assessment of the recoverable value using a ViU model which indicated that the carrying value of the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeded its recoverable value. As a result of this the Group assessed the recoverable value of the CGU using a FVLCD approach, which resulted in a higher recoverable value. The recoverable value as calculated using the FVLCD approach was consequently used as part of the impairment testing completed as at 30 June 2019.

The Group has only one operating segment and CGU which relates to the operations of its confectionery business. The result of the FVLCD assessment indicated an impairment loss of US$1,534,000 as at 31 December 2019, of which further information is provided below.

Given the impairment triggers identified as at 31 December 2019 as noted above, the Group has updated the FVLCD model as at 31 December 2019, taking into account year to date actual performance.

Assumptions – FVLCD

The key assumptions made were as follows:

  • FY2020 management approved budget adjusted to reflect current year to date sales performance up to end of January 2020;

  • Revenue growth rate estimates ranging between 3.6% - 10.9% per annum for FY2021 to FY2027 driven by:

  • i) Increased market penetration within the US based on external performance data as at December 2019. This data outlines that the Group’s current ACV*, a statistic representative of the Group’s market penetration across different distribution channels in the US, had experienced an improvement compared to December 2018, therefore underpinning future growth assumptions; and

  • ii) Assumed sales volumes per store across the expanded distribution network is based on historic actual volumes for comparable stores.

  • EBITDA margin assumes a straight-line improvement from -5.0% in H2FY2020 to 10.0% in FY2024, where EBITDA margins remain constant thereafter. This assumption is based on benchmarking against various industry participants;

  • Terminal year growth rate of 2.1% based on long term CPI;

  • Discount rate of 13.0% post-tax;

  • Costs of disposal of 5.0% of the estimated recoverable amount; and

  • Projected cash flows covering H2FY2020 to FY2027.

Fair value was measured using Level 3 inputs under AASB 13.

  • Percentage relates to the Nielsen measurement of the numbers of stores that carry the Yowie brand, indicating product availability to the consumer based on ACV (All Commodity Volume).

3. EXPENSES (continued)

(b) Impairment of non-current assets

31 December 2019 (continued)

The key assumptions used are based on the judgement and experience of the Group, taking into account current market and economic conditions, risks, uncertainties and opportunities for improvement.

Sensitivity Analysis

As the Group has recorded an impairment based on the FVLCD assessment, a number of reasonably possible changes to key assumptions would have a significant impact on the recoverable amount which the Group has considered and summarised below:

Impact of sensitivity on
Sensitivity recoverable value1
US$
10% adverse performance against projected net cash flows2 (976,595)
1 year delay in achieving expected growth in number of units sold based on
targeted increase in distribution in ACV%3 (939,765)
Discount rate + / - 1% (697,884) / 849,758
Spoilage of goods +1%4 (320,727)
  • 1 The sensitivity analysis above illustrates the impact of each individual sensitivity on the recoverable value as calculated using the FVLCD impairment modelling.

  • 2 This sensitivity reflects the revenue underperformance of 10%.

  • 3 This sensitivity reflects a one year delay in achieving the growth targets and EBITDA margin target assumed within the budgets underpinning the FVLCD impairment assessment.

  • 4 This sensitivity reflects the increase in the percentage of spoilage of goods in relation to gross sales by 1%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF YOWIE GROUP LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Yowie Group Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Yowie Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
