CHAIR'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS
The 2021 financial year was a demonstration of Super Retail Group at its best, underlining the benefits of a sustainable business strategy that remains robust in a volatile world.
This past year was a difficult and challenging time for everyone, but in Super Retail Group's ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic we displayed the agility, innovation and resilience required to operate successfully in an uncertain external environment.
When I wrote to shareholders in last year's annual report, the health and economic crisis was still unfolding. While uncertainty remains and the impact of the pandemic will play out for some time yet, Super Retail Group has continued to perform strongly thanks to our resilient omni-retail strategy, strong leadership and engaged team members.
The $203 million equity raising in July 2020, completed with strong support from retail and institutional shareholders, including our founder and major shareholder Reg Rowe, helped position the Group for success. It allowed us to invest in both our people and the infrastructure needed to continue delivering our omni-retail strategy despite the uncertainty created by COVID-19. The Group entered the 2022 financial year with a conservative balance sheet and no bank debt.
As consumer trends accelerated the shift towards online and became embedded in customer behaviour across Australia and New Zealand, our supply chain and distribution networks were bolstered and enhanced, flowing through to a strong operational performance and a record financial result.
The Group's result and robust financial position has supported the Board's decision to determine a fully franked final dividend of 55.0 cents per share. The total dividend for the 2021 financial year is 88.0 cents per share. The total dividend represents a full year payout ratio of 65 per cent, in line with the Group's policy.
On behalf of shareholders, the Board also remains focused on the ethical and sustainable stewardship of all aspects of the Group's activities. At Super Retail Group we are determined to make a constructive contribution to society and have a positive impact in the communities in which we operate.
With a rapidly evolving external environment, the Group is reviewing its Vision, Mission and Values to ensure they remain relevant to team members and other stakeholders. In the time since our Values were first articulated, the Company has transitioned to an omni-retailer with four core brands and employs a larger and more diverse group of team members. The Board wants to be satisfied that these statements of intent remain firmly aligned with the ambition of the organisation.
Robust environmental, social and governance practices continue to be an area of focus for the Board and leadership team.
As a Group, our business activities are increasingly conducted in a manner that aligns with the transition to a lower carbon footprint and ESG risk management is now entrenched as a routine component of the Board's accountabilities.
Any review of the past 12 months must call out the
passion and dedication of our team members. Their commitment and capability is the open secret behind this organisation's success. I am constantly impressed by our team members, with frequent accounts of their determination, innovation and ingenuity in getting the job done, confirming the depth of our talented and engaged workforce. We will continue to invest in our team members because we understand how integral they are to our growth.
Given the strong corporate performance during one of the most challenging external environments in our time as a listed company, the leadership of our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Heraghty can only be described as firstclass. Despite the external uncertainty, Anthony has ensured the business continues to focus on executing our strategy, creating a culture of high performance, creativity and engagement. Strong leadership from Anthony and his leadership team, and an emphasis on more deeply understanding our customers has delivered enviable sales growth.
Over the course of the financial year, Diana Eilert announced her retirement as a Non-Executive Director after six years on the Board. The Board thanks Diana for her contribution and service to shareholders, particularly as Chair of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee. We are well advanced on a process to replace Diana with an experienced director who will complement the diversity of expertise on the Board.
Although the year ahead will be marked by continuing uncertainty, the Board and leadership team have a clear strategy to ensure the Group is positioned to deliver sustainable success. With the energy and commitment of our team members underpinning the business, I am confident Super Retail Group will continue to create value for our shareholders.
Thank you for your continued support.
The stewardship of the Board has helped strengthen the Group and positioned it to create long-term value. The Board is diligent and dedicated in fulfilling its responsibilities guiding the business on behalf of shareholders and I take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors for their sound advice and counsel.

CEO'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS
Despite continuing aftershocks from the COVID-19 pandemic over the past 12 months, I am pleased to report that your company exceeded performance targets and delivered a record sales result in FY21.
Our omni-retail strategy and operational flexibility combined with the commitment of the company's dedicated team members helped Super Retail Group deliver more than $3.45 billion in sales for the first time. This is a significant achievement given Australia and New Zealand continued to face lockdowns and movement restrictions as governments sought to contain COVID-19 outbreaks.
On behalf of the executive team, I offer my sincere thanks to the 14,305 team members in the Super Retail Group family. They have risen above every challenge thrown at them over the past 12 months and worked tirelessly to meet our customers' needs.
The foundation of our strong performance was built around a strategy of boosting inventories to meet anticipated increases in customer demand and re-directing our efforts to meet elevated demand in our online sales channels. On inventories, we shipped 54 per cent more containers (TEUs) compared to the previous year to guarantee supplies and overcome global logistical challenges related to the pandemic. We also reduced costs and complexity within our supply chain and information technology infrastructure.
Our strategy enabled us to capitalise on the rapid growth in online sales and the expanded appetite of customers for DIY, outdoors and health and wellbeing products. The results - delivered against the backdrop of economy-wide COVID-19 impacts across Australia and New Zealand confirm that our business strategy is resilient and delivering a real competitive advantage for the Group.
STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Given the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, we were very pleased with the Group's financial performance. Key features of the full-year financial performance for the 52 weeks to 26 June 2021 included:
· Total Group sales of $3.45 billion up 22 per cent · Group like-for-like sales growth of 23 per cent · Online sales of $415.6 million up 43 per cent · Segment EBIT of $476.8 million up 80 per cent · Segment PBT of $435.8 million up 108 per cent · Statutory NPAT of $301.0 million up 173 per cent · Normalised NPAT of $306.8 million up 107 per cent · Basic EPS of 133.4 cents up 139 per cent · Fully franked final dividend of 55.0 cents per share.
At the end of FY21, the Group had no bank debt and more than $242 million in cash on the balance sheet.
FOUR POWERFUL BRANDS
Our four core brands continue to maintain strong, established positions in attractive and growing lifestyle categories.
In FY21, Supercheap Auto, rebel, BCF and Macpac all recorded significant sales growth as Australians and New Zealanders embraced domestic tourism, DIY vehicle maintenance and

more outdoor physical activity. The introduction of Macpac products to our rebel and BCF stores exceeded expectations, driving sales growth and raising the profile of the brand.
ONLINE SALES MEETING CUSTOMER DEMAND
The channel shift to online sales, which accelerated during the COVID-19 lockdowns in FY20, continued over the past 12 months.
Group online sales increased by 43 per cent to $415.6 million, representing 12 per cent of Group sales compared to 10 per cent in the previous financial year. Click & Collect, which leverages the strength of our 698 stores and constitutes our most profitable online channel, represented 46 per cent of Group online sales.
While the overwhelming majority of our loyal customers continue to use stores to engage with the business, it is clear that the channel shift to online is now a permanent feature of the retail landscape in Australia and New Zealand. Our continued evolution from a bricks and mortar retailer to an omni-retailer means we are well placed to successfully navigate the transition to increased digital sales.
A STRONG STORE NETWORK
Our network of 698 stores continued to be the backbone of the business.
Despite the impact of COVID-19 on foot traffic, 94 per cent of sales during the year involved a store visit.
We continue to invest in our store network, with upgrades and refurbishments delivering robust sales increases.
The new rebel rCX format with a focus on key categories of basketball, football, fitness and kids proved highly attractive to customers while improvements to Supercheap Auto stores, including the expansion of `do-it-for-me' service spaces, boosted revenue. Favourable dynamics in the commercial property sector also enabled us to secure improved terms on many of our lease renewals during the year.
OUR STRATEGY IS ON TRACK
The sales performance during the financial year demonstrates that our strategy is resilient and delivering a significant dividend for the business. The Group's strategic focus remains on:
· Growing the four core brands · Leveraging closeness to our customer · Connecting our omni-retail supply chain · Simplifying the business · Excelling in omni-retail.
The current uncertain outlook for retail trading conditions underscores the importance of our clear business plan. The strategy has enabled us to take advantage of changing consumer trends and invest further in our omni-retail execution to position the business for future success.
CUSTOMER LOYALTY IS KEY
Our large and loyal customer base continued to grow over the past 12 months, in line with our strategic goal of building stronger and closer personal relationships with our customers.
We are very pleased with the growth in this area. We now have eight million active club members across our four core brands, an increase of 22 per cent on the previous financial year. Combined, our club members contributed 63 per cent of total sales and provide the Group with a key competitive advantage.
With significant migration to online, customer satisfaction levels have improved with average club member NPS increasing to 62.6, up 1.9 per cent on pcp.
AN ENGAGED AND CAPABLE TEAM
This year's record result is a credit to our capable and passionate team members. Their dedication to the business and our customers is a key driver of our sales performance and strong customer satisfaction levels in FY21.
Health, safety and wellbeing remains a priority for the business and we are committed to a zero-harm workplace for our team members. Our focus on manager-led safety conversations, mental health, identifying and assessing key risks, line accountability and implementing initiatives to reduce risks, including those related to mobile plant and manual handling, helped reduce injury rates.
We achieved a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 9.43 in FY21, a 24 per cent reduction on the previous year. While this is an improvement, there is no sense of complacency and we continue to look at how we can work together to improve outcomes for team members and the wider community.
We also continue to focus on gender balance across the organisation as part of our commitment to gender equality and a diverse and inclusive workforce. In FY21, female representation on our Board was 29 per cent, 27 per cent at the executive leadership level and 39 per cent for women in senior leadership. Recent appointments have further improved this balance and while we still have work to do to reach our goal of gender equality by 2025, we are firmly on the right path to building a more representative and stronger business.
The remediation program for the historical underpayment issues identified and proactively reported to the Fair Work Ombudsman is substantially complete with $52.4 million in back payments paid to more than 26,488 current and former team members. Super Retail Group continues to engage with the Fair Work Ombudsman in relation to these matters.
A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Sustainability is at the core of our business decisionmaking and in FY21 we made progress across the Group on implementing more sustainable practices.
Our carbon emissions (scopes one and two) across the Group declined by seven per cent and our recycling rates (for all waste material in stores, support offices and distribution centres) remained at 65 per cent, in line with FY20 levels. Our brands continued to help customers reduce their impact on the environment with Supercheap Auto recycling a record 1,068,200 million litres of oil and 85,967 car batteries, and rebel recycling more than 37,000 pairs of shoes through its in-store collection.
BCF contributed $300,000 and customers raised a further $392,850 to support OzFish in protecting and restoring waterways and fish habitats. Through its Fund for Good, Macpac gave grants worth more than $376,000 to over 40 organisations.
The Group was included in the SAM Sustainability Yearbook 2021 as a Sustainability leader in the retail sector and increased its Dow Jones Sustainability Index score to 60, placing it in the top quartile within the retail sector.
The Group's performance in FY21, despite one of the most challenging retail environments in our history, underscores that our business strategy is working, fit-for-purpose and delivering significant long-term value for our shareholders.
The Group's four core brands have established market positions in the fast-growing auto, sports, leisure and outdoor categories and our loyal customer base is underpinned by eight million active club members. While the outlook for retail trading conditions remains uncertain, we are confident that demand in our lifestyle categories will continued to be supported by growing trends towards fitness, wellbeing and enjoying the great outdoors.
We are in a very strong position to continue inspiring our customers to live their passion, and we remain focused on growing our market share to help deliver value for our shareholders.

Helping our communities in challenging times
As customer demand soared during the past 12 months due to increased participation in DIY maintenance, outdoor pursuits and health and wellbeing activities, Super Retail Group went to significant lengths to ensure its customer's needs were fulfilled.
Whether it was generators and gas refills for bushfire and flood-affected customers, meeting the huge demand for exercise equipment during protracted COVID-19 lockdowns or assisting a family buying their first tent for a holiday-athome, the Group supported its customers throughout a challenging year.
Meeting this record level of demand required a step-change in how we managed inventories and serviced our customers.
We imported more than 15,000 containers (TEUs) - a 54 per cent increase on the previous year - to provide sufficient stock that would meet demand, and we were able to circumvent delays in COVID-19 affected supply chains.
Our distribution centres moved more than 408,000 pallets a 25 per cent increase on the prior year - enabling the four core brands to have the right products in the right stores for our customers at the right time.
Our store team members fulfilled Click & Collect orders at a rapid pace, with sales up 56 per cent on last year. Our home delivery offer also stepped up, with more than 1.5 million deliveries completed in the reporting period. Our dedicated team in the customer care centre also stepped up to meet the increased demand and solved more than 400,000 calls while introducing new technology such as webchat in November 2020, which facilitated more than 71,000 interactions in the financial year.
With the ongoing challenges faced by many communities, our products and our team helped tens of thousands of Australians and New Zealanders to continue to live their passions while staying safe and active.
The Group delivered a record $3.45 billion in sales as our customers built home gyms, kept their cars on the road and re-embraced the great Australian road-trip holiday.
Our customers took to the great outdoors in droves in response to restrictions around interstate and international travel. As an example, sales of BCF's tents grew more than 55 per cent.
$300,000
BCF SUPPORT FOR OZFISH
408,000+
PALLETS DELIVERED
With the continuing turmoil of natural disasters and the pandemic, the Group acknowledged the critical role played by emergency services personnel in responding to natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our four core brands joined other retailers in supporting the second First Responders Day offering discount privileges for healthcare and emergency services personnel who went above and beyond during the pandemic and the natural disasters that caused so much devastation in Australia and New Zealand.
Super Retail Group recognises that sustainable value creation is only possible if we play a positive role in the communities we serve.
During FY21, Macpac's `Fund for Good' program awarded grants worth over $376,000 to more than 40 Australian and New Zealand-based organisations. BCF's support of OzFish continued with $300,000 being contributed to the protection and restoration of waterways and fish habitats and a further $392,850 being raised by customers.
To ensure Super Retail Group continues to create value, the business encourages all team members to act in a manner that benefits the communities in which we operate.
An awareness of community expectations, and how and they are constantly evolving, is necessary to continually readjust the way we work. Society is demanding more of the corporate sector, raising the bar on what is the right way of going about business.
Super Retail Group understands that the best way to understand the communities in which it operates is to be embedded and active in the community. Drawing our team members from our communities, using local partners and suppliers, participating in community programs, all help us build a deep understanding of our customers needs.
And it assists the business in responding swiftly at times of need.
When our customers are facing serious challenges, Super Retail Group has established a track record of working hard to be there for them. It's a reputation we are determined to retain. It requires commitment and enormous reservoirs of energy and enthusiasm to take that extra step, make that extra call to ensure the customer is satisfied.
We acknowledge this would be impossible to achieve without the dedication and commitment of our indefatigable team members. Without their support and drive, the Group would have been unable to deliver such achievements across such a challenging year.

IN-STORE SERVICES
Helping our customers enjoy their drive
The Supercheap Auto Services program provides highvalue fitments and services to complement a wide range of common automotive products sold in store. These services include checks and replacement of batteries, wiper blades, bulbs, protectors and covers. Our team are trained to help the customer choose the correct product and, in many cases, fit or apply the product for the customer. The program is available in 318 stores, with 100 of those stores offering an extended range of fitments and services, such as roof racks.
In FY21, the team increased its focus on this offer, delivering almost 725,000 service solutions to our Supercheap Auto customers. The services included fitting 340,000 wiper blades and arms, replacing 107,000 bulbs, replacing and recycling 32,000 batteries, and facilitating 206,000 automotive paint requests.
Market data has provided us with a clear picture of the two distinct customer segments most likely to participate and benefit from this offer. The first segment is the `do-it-for-me' customer, who see the
service as a low-cost alternative to solving problems usually handled by their mechanic. The second segment is the traditional `do-it-yourself' customer, who could do it themselves but instead choose the nofuss convenience of getting it done while they shop.
A key priority of the program is the safety of our team and customers. Dedicated Service Areas (DSAs) are in nearly a third of all Supercheap Auto stores and provide a safe and secure location for fitments and services to be undertaken. These areas provide space for a broader range of fitments that would not be possible in a traditional carpark environment.
Continued expansion of the DSA network is key to offering the extended range of services in-store, to meet the needs of local customers and their vehicles. During the pandemic, we also implemented a contactfree fitment solution, so our team could continue to provide this service while keeping a safe distance from each other and the customer.
The services program is continuing to expand in range and volume as we incorporate the latest customer insights and market data into the offer. In FY21, the core services (bulbs, blades and batteries) achieved an NPS result of 80, which is 15 points higher than our average active club member. Given the critical role services play in the overall shopping experience for our customer, we are committed to continuing to grow the services program as our customers' needs and vehicles change.

Bringing the rebel brand promise to life
The rebel team continues to inspire Australians to chase their sporting dreams and passions through the rebel customer experience (rCX) store program and roll-out.
Following the opening of the first rCX store in Doncaster in March 2020, the team further progressed the personalised concept with the expansion and refurbishment of key sites including Miranda and Parramatta in New South Wales, Chermside in Queensland, and Chadstone in Victoria.
Despite ongoing volatility with the COVID-19 pandemic, the new concept stores are showing strong sales growth with almost 50 per cent increase in sales compared to the previous year. The key focus categories of women's apparel, senior footwear, kids, football, basketball, and fitness are all performing strongly, providing confidence for future roll-outs.
The rCX stores offer customers an innovative and immersive shopping experience, using a combination
of technology and personalised interactions to create a truly unique experience. From shooting hoops and playing virtual interactive games, to getting a fellow athlete's advice about the perfect running shoe, the rCX concept positions rebel as a frontrunner in sporting expertise and experiences.
The introduction of a football experience space, a basketball court and a showcase of LeBron James' products is providing customers a memorable retail experience and a chance for sporting fanatics to have fun with friends. The passion and expertise from the team on the floor, combined with the range and presentation of products on offer in rCX stores, creates a unique connection with the customer. Each store includes bespoke features to cater to the local community and is designed to provide a balance between retail and experience, to maximise the customer journey and return on floorspace.
The concept, designed in partnership with Nike and other key trade partners, was recognised at Inside Retail's 2021 Retailer Awards with rebel winning the Best Store Design/Concept of the Year category, as well as the Customer Experience of the Year (Medium to Large Business) award.
The next step for rebel is to continue to innovate, listen and respond to customer feedback and expand the rCX strategy across key stores around the country.

Better for our customers new formats, new locations
The changing retail landscape for the outdoor category continued in FY21, with an increase in customer participation in everything boating, camping and fishing. In response to significantly increased participation in these recreational activities, BCF began trialling a series of new brand and category initiatives, regional formats and store locations.
A core initiative catering to this customer growth is the expansion of the BCF store network to include new store formats (high-fulfilment stores) and regional locations (smaller format stores).
The purpose of this expansion is to reach more customers and become even more relevant to our loyal customers in each location.
There are now six high-fulfilment stores in the BCF network, such as Everton Park in south-east Queensland, that cater to both the local and online customers with an active range that is over 45 per cent greater than a standard store.
Smaller format stores in key locations such as Echuca in Victoria, Ayr in north Queensland and Victor
Harbor in South Australia are also proving to be a successful format, delivering sales intensity well above fleet average.
The Echuca store is about 35 per cent smaller than the traditional BCF store with a localised range catering for customers with a tailored freshwater fishing range and reduced offer on saltwater gear. Trading since November 2020, BCF Echuca has upper quartile performance in sales density and profit contribution.
The 4WD and caravan categories have been showing accelerated demand for a period of time. In response to this growth, significant in-store improvements were made in the financial year to cater for this burgeoning demand. The overhaul of the in-store offer for these two categories included new purpose-built fixtures, improved signage, changed positions in store and eyecatching display samples for customers. Amplification of these categories in a trial store in FY21 delivered substantial growth, and plans for a further 25 stores to join the rollout are well progressed.
BCF Glendale in New South Wales has one of the largest showrooms in the BCF network with a 1680 sqm showroom and is one of the first stores to showcase the new 4x4 amplification. The site is a replacement store and an example of BCF's property plan to relocate key stores to a superior site with improved car parking and customer access.
BCF will continue to progress these new initiatives, which are designed to accelerate the growth of key categories, highlight key in-store brands, and meet growing customer participation through tailored, local offers as well as online demand.

Macpac range extended to BCF and rebel
Macpac is New Zealand's original technical outdoor brand. The apparel and equipment we design has inspired a life outdoors since 1973, and our journey has been one of creation and innovation since day one. Macpac has a proud heritage rooted in adventure and a devoted following that spans generations. Our products are built to stand the test of time, and they continue to support explorers in some of the world's harshest environments.
Starting out as a wholesale company, Macpac initially served domestic and international markets across New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Europe using thirdparty retailers. In 2008, Macpac expanded into retail with its first flagship store.
In FY21, we embraced a new concept to grow brand awareness and introduce our wide range of products to a different type of customer. Looking beyond the classic adventurer and those who love travel and the outdoors Macpac extended its range to new customers who wear the outdoor look casually, with a trial of select Macpac apparel in four Tasmanian
BCF stores during winter 2020. The trial showed early signs of success for the BCF stores as well as the two Tasmanian Macpac stores, with 33 per cent like-for-like sales growth in the Macpac stores attributed to the growth in brand awareness. The trial also improved Macpac online sales in Tasmania.
The trial showed that brand awareness and sales could be driven by using Super Retail Group's existing brands instead of relying on third-party partners. As a result, two select winter ranges were rolled out to 53 Australian BCF stores in April, followed by 99 Australian rebel stores in May.
Virtual training was undertaken by the brand teams and Macpac fixtures were installed in BCF to display the new stock. The Macpac apparel range delivered more than 35 per cent of total apparel sales in those BCF stores in FY21. BCF has also ordered a select Macpac range for the upcoming summer season.
As a result of these changes, Macpac recorded significant sales growth as its products were introduced to new customers experiencing the quality and comfort of our apparel for the first time. We are confident the increased exposure of the brand will help to attract and retain a new generation of devoted supporters, and adventurers.

WOMEN IN SENIOR LEADERSHIP
With more than 14,000 team members across Australia, New Zealand and China, an engaged, passionate and capable team is critical to inspiring our customers to live their passion.
In FY21, we shifted from an annual engagement survey to a continuous listening, pulse survey that measures engagement three times a year and focuses on microactions. This shorter, sharper cycle enables our people leaders to listen more, to learn more and to act with greater speed. Our first pulse had a participation rate of 71 per cent with 10,014 responses, and the Group's engagement score was 82, which is 5 points above the Achievers (a global expert in employee recognition and engagement) industry benchmark.
We continue to invest in two key, digital engagement platforms SOULmoments (recognition) and Workplace (communication). Each month, our team averages 14,351 recognitions and 89 per cent are active on Workplace.
CONSISTENT INVESTMENT IN LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
We are focused on providing consistent learning and development opportunities to attract, grow and retain the talent needed to execute our strategy and deliver our customer promise.
Our SOULlibrary platform underpins a suite of learning tools, available to all team members, based on a continuous learning philosophy. Team members can
improve their skills and knowledge when, where and how it suits them. More than 18,000 hours of learning were undertaken via this platform in FY21.
Our `experts' program for Supercheap Auto, rebel, BCF and Macpac retail team members equip our team with the product and technical expertise required to meet the needs of our customers. In FY21, there were 22 campaigns rolled out to 11,525 retail team members delivering more than 40,000 hours of learning.
Access to accredited learning programs is another important development experience offered to our retail team members. In the financial year, there were 119 Australian team members who completed their Certificate III in Retail Operations or Certificate IV in Retail Management and five New Zealand team members who gained their Level Four Retail Management qualification.
FOCUSED ON A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT
We care about the physical and psychological health and safety of our team members, customers, contractors, business partners and visitors including our heavy vehicle operations.
This year's focus has been on mental health, COVID-19, identifying and assessing key risks, line accountability and implementing initiatives to reduce risks involved with mobile plant and manual handling.
We achieved a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 9.43 in FY21, a 24 per cent reduction
on the previous year. We also recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 4.51, a 22 per cent improvement on the previous year. These results include both team members and labour hire.
Our response to the COVID-19 crisis remains a closely monitored risk. An SRG COVID-19 Operations Guide, containing information about government controls, risk assessment, enhanced cleaning methods, mental wellbeing, remote working, incident response and government travel restrictions, has been a critical control through the period.
In response to the growing awareness about mental wellbeing, our `I Am Here' program encourages the team to look out for themselves and others and to create a supportive work environment for every team member, every day. More than 1,800 team members have been actively involved in the initiative.
To further lift our safety maturity the Health and Safety Governance Framework and Health and Safety Standards were implemented. To meet our Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations, more than 11,000 team members were engaged in online training.
DIMENSIONS MODERN AND FLEXIBLE ROSTERING
A significant investment in the financial year has been our new rostering, time, and attendance system. This system (Dimensions) makes it easier for store managers to change, build and publish rosters and gives team members more control to manage their availability and shifts.
To help prepare for full deployment in FY22, 49 stores were engaged as pilot stores in FY21, allowing for improvements to be made prior to implementing this change across our network. To support retail management, comprehensive leadership and system training was delivered with more than 3,700 hours of training completed to support managers in all aspects of rostering their team.
COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Our commitment to providing an environment that includes people with diverse values, backgrounds, skills, experience and needs is a critical component to reflecting the communities in which we operate.
Our goal remains to achieve gender equality in our Board, executive and senior leadership teams by 2025.
In the financial year, we initiated a Group Diversity and Inclusion Committee and launched a Gender Affirmation policy and plan. We continue to celebrate various diversity events including Wear it Purple Day, International Women's Day and NAIDOC week.
We proudly hold the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) Citation. In September 2021, we will be renewing our application for citation. Female representation on our Board is at 29 per cent, 27 per cent at the executive leadership level and 39 per cent for women in senior leadership. Our 2021 Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) report is available via the Group's website.

Review of Financial Condition
A number of factors are influencing the financial results of the Group which will need to be considered when reviewing the financial performance of the business. The key factors to be considered are:
COVID-19 and online growth Strength of the balance sheet

2,825.2 110.2 265.0 209.9 148.2 610.7 55.8 19.5
The Group delivered a record full year result driven by sales, higher gross margin and disciplined cost management. The Group achieved total sales growth of 22.2 per cent which included significant like-for-like sales growth across all divisions. The 22.2 per cent sales growth for the Group translated into a 45.6 per cent increase in Segment EBITDA, a 79.9 per cent increase in Segment EBIT and a 107.0 per cent increase in normalised net profit after tax.
Profit for the period was $301.0 million compared to $110.2 million in the prior period representing an increase of 173.1 per cent. The table below provides the reconciliation to the statutory profit.

Impacts of COVID-19 and Online Growth
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the Group during the year as customer spending increased. While total sales grew by 22.2%, online sales grew by 43.3% and represented 12.0% of total sales as customers moved increasingly online. Click & Collect represented 46.2% of Group online sales. The importance of the Group's investment in its digital capability was underscored by the impact of intermittent COVID19 lockdowns on store trading and foot traffic. The Group's omni-retail capability enabled it to pivot to online channels to meet consumer demand through both click & collect and home delivery. COVID-19 restrictions varied by geography throughout the year.
Strength of the Balance Sheet
On 15 June 2020, the Group announced an underwritten one for seven accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer which generated net cash proceeds of $198.4 million. This allowed the Group to invest in inventory to support the elevated sales demand and protect against supply chain delays. The June 2021 inventory balance is 38.6% higher than the prior period.

Segment PBT increased by 191.4 per cent to $16.9 million and PBT margin of 11.0 per cent was 6.6 per cent higher than the prior comparative period. Gross margins recovered to 2019 levels due to increased average selling prices, improvements in product sourcing costs and favourable foreign exchange.

Group Costs
Group costs for the period were $36.5 million (PBT), which was $0.4 million higher than the prior comparative period. A favourable reduction in interest expense of $12.0 million due to lower debt was offset by increased corporate costs. Corporate costs were $7.0 million higher than the prior comparative period reflecting performance rights expenses for both Group and brand participating management, increased investment in corporate areas such as legal, risk & compliance, higher insurance costs and increased professional fees.
The Group recognised an additional $5.4 million of costs in the period due to updated guidance from the International Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) regarding the treatment of Software as a Service (Saas) costs. Approximately $4.0m of the additional costs related to prior periods.

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group are important.
The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or a decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.

Introduction
The Directors of Super Retail Group present this Remuneration Report for the 52-week period ended 26 June 2021. The Remuneration Report explains how the Group's performance has driven executive remuneration outcomes, and provides the details of specific remuneration arrangements that apply to Key Management Personnel (KMP) in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and applicable accounting standards. The report also outlines the Group's remuneration philosophy and governance.
SECTION 1
Letter from the Chair of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board, I present the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 26 June 2021. We have changed the structure of the Report this year to enhance readability. The first portion of the Report focuses on FY21 performance and the link to remuneration outcomes. Detail of the remuneration policies and framework is presented in the second half of the report. Statutory tables are incorporated in the relevant sections.
Our Remuneration Report for FY20 received shareholder support at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, with 82.8 per cent of votes in favour of adoption. In presenting the FY21 remuneration outcomes and considering changes for FY22 we have taken into account feedback from shareholders.
The Group's financial results for FY21 were excellent (see Section 3) delivering record sales and earnings, driven by unprecedented consumer demand in the lifestyle and leisure categories. Meeting these elevated volumes of demand in both in-store and online channels required sound execution of omni-retail, investment in supply chain and focus on inventory management. In particular, the Group's omni-retail strategy and digital capability provided the flexibility to pivot to online channels to meet shifts in consumer behaviour during COVID-19 lockdowns.
In light of the strong Group financial results, a decision was taken to repay $1.7 million received in the Australian Government's JobKeeper wage support.
The strong financial results have led to above target Short-Term Incentive (STI) outcomes, and both measures of the FY19 LongTerm Incentive (LTI) exceeded the hurdles required for 100 per cent vesting.
During FY21, the Board established a set of principles to guide the use of discretion regarding the STI to complement the existing principles used in relation to the LTI. These principles are published in this Report in Section 6. In assessing the results and considering any discretion that might apply, the Board had specific regard to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. After careful consideration, the Board decided that no significant adjustments to reward outcomes were warranted and that the level of payments appropriately reflected the Group's performance.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

REPORTING PERIOD ENDED 26 JUNE 2021
The Board made the decision to amend the LTI grant for FY21 on a one-off basis, aligned to the Group's Medium-Term Business Plan (MTBP). At the 2020 AGM, shareholders approved the FY21 grant to the Group MD and CEO. As such, the LTI grant for FY21 also includes reward for FY22. There will be no separate LTI grant in FY22. For the FY21 award, the performance period is the twoyear period of the MTBP, being the combined FY21 and FY22 period. Detail of the plan is shown in Section 6.
There are no changes to the remuneration framework for FY22, noting the absence of the LTI grant.
Deferral of STI into equity was introduced in FY20 and restricted shares were used to deliver the deferred STI component. Restricted shares were used because they are an effective instrument to deliver time-bound equity where performance outcomes have been achieved.
In the context of the market data and continued strong performance, the Board approved Fixed Pay increases for three of the Key Management Personnel (KMP). No adjustments were made to STI or LTI reward targets. The detail is provided in Section 4.
Given the Group's continued strong financial performance, the Board is currently reviewing the Group MD and CEO's remuneration level and target remuneration mix for FY22 and beyond, with reference to external market benchmarks based on similar sized ASXlisted companies and industry peers. The review will take into consideration the performance of both the Group and the Group MD and CEO. The remuneration mix will continue to place significant emphasis on performance-based (or `at-risk') remuneration and alignment of remuneration opportunity to the Group's business strategy and shareholder returns.
Finally, in terms of remuneration for the Group's Non-Executive Directors, following a review of external market data, the Board considers it appropriate to adjust fees for the Chair, Committee Chairs and Non-Executive Director base fees. Details are provided in Section 4.
On behalf of the Board I'd like to thank and congratulate the entire Super Retail Group team on the strong results they've delivered, both financial and non-financial, and during a particularly challenging year.
We welcome your feedback on our FY21 Remuneration Report.
Yours sincerely, Peter Everingham Human Resources & Remuneration Committee Chair

SECTION 3
FY21 Performance and Remuneration Outcomes
RELATIONSHIP OF REMUNERATION TO GROUP PERFORMANCE
The STI scheme and LTI plan operate to create a clear link between executive remuneration and the Group's performance, motivating and rewarding the Group MD and CEO and Executive KMP.
The performance of the Group over the past five years is summarised in Table 1.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Each year, the Board reviews any significant items, positive and negative, and considers their relevance for reward outcomes. The Board may adjust for any significant events and/or items to give a clearer reflection of financial performance from one period to the next. Significant events and/or items are considered unusual by their nature and size and/or not in the ordinary course of the business and have been excluded from the definition of Normalised PBT as detailed in Note 4 in the financial statements. In FY21, there were no other adjustments impacting remuneration. The principles used by the Board in exercising discretion for Short-Term Incentives and for equitybased incentives are outlined in Section 6.

STI OUTCOMES FOR FY21 Short-Term Incentive Scorecard Outcomes for FY21
For the year to 26 June 2021, the target for Normalised Profit Before Tax (NPBT) was set at $260.3 million, 19.2 per cent higher than the NPBT achieved in the period to 27 June 2020 of $218.3 million. The financial gateway for the STI scheme of $234.3 million (90 per cent of target) was exceeded and therefore Executive KMP scorecards were activated.
The individual Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to determine STI awards and the FY21 achievements, referenced by the Board for the Group MD and CEO and other Executive KMP, are detailed in Tables 3 and 4.

SUMMARY The STI outcomes for Executive KMP are reflected in Table 5. The STI award for all Executive KMP will be paid 70 per cent cash and 30 per cent restricted shares, of which one half will become unrestricted in September 2022, and the remainder in September 2023. This deferral supports an increase in executive shareholding, enhances risk management and executive retention, and reflects broader market practice.

LTI OUTCOMES FOR FY21
Long-Term Incentive Outcomes for FY21
The FY19 grant was dependent on performance for the three years ending 26 June 2021.
The performance hurdles for the FY19 LTI grant were met, with 100 per cent of the grant qualifying for vesting over the relevant vesting period. The impact of the capital raising has unfavourably impacted normalised earnings per share, as the net impact of increased shares was only partially offset by lower interest costs. The net effect still exceeded the level required for 100 per cent vesting. The Board approved 100 per cent vesting for the FY19 grant.
In FY20, the Board established a set of principles to be used in exercising discretion. These are outlined in Section 6, along with a detailed outline of the LTI Plan.
As the LTI vests over a period, after the performance hurdle has been tested, the value of LTI shown in the remuneration tables includes a portion of the FY16 grant and all subsequent grants. Table 6 outlines the performance outcomes and the subsequent vesting for each of the LTI performance rights granted and performance tested since FY16. Each grant is subject to equally weighted performance measures being compound average growth rate of normalised earnings per share over three financial years and normalised return on capital averaged over three financial years.

Table 8 details the remuneration actually received during FY21. As with Table 7, the cash STI amount is that earned in FY21 and to be paid in FY22. The amount shown for value of LTI vesting represents the number of rights converted to ordinary shares during FY21 multiplied by the share price on the date of vesting ($10.85 in the five trading days following results announcement in August 2020). The rights converting to ordinary shares derive from FY16, FY17 and FY18 grants as detailed in Table 13. This value for LTI contrasts with Table 7 that shows the FY21 portion of the fair value of equity grants which are amortised over the relevant performance measurement and vesting periods.

FY22 Remuneration Matters
The Board does not anticipate any policy changes in relation to remuneration in FY22.
In the context of continuing strong Group financial performance and Super Retail Group's market capitalisation increase from $1.5 billion in 2018 to $2.9 billion at financial year end, the Board initiated a review of the remuneration of the Group MD and CEO for FY22, including the remuneration level and target remuneration mix. The review draws on external benchmarking data from similar sized ASX-listed companies and industry peers. The review will also take into consideration the performance of the Group MD and CEO since his appointment in 2019.
The benchmarking data indicate that Mr Heraghty's fixed remuneration and total target reward, in respect of FY21, significantly lags the external comparator market benchmark. The data also indicate that the remuneration mix reflects a higher weighting of fixed remuneration versus performance-based remuneration, as compared to the comparator groups.
The Board's aim, consistent with the Company's remuneration policy, is to position the Group MD and CEO's Total Target Remuneration in the 75th percentile, and for the remuneration mix to place significant emphasis on performance-based (or `at-risk') remuneration and alignment of remuneration opportunity to the Group's business strategy and shareholder returns.
For other KMP, based on the market data, there will be fixed pay increases for the MDs of SCA, Rebel and BCF. No other changes are proposed for any element of remuneration for Executive KMP for FY22.
In relation to LTI, a grant will not be made to Executive KMP in FY22, as a combined grant covering FY21 and FY22 was made in FY21.
No increase in the Non-Executive Director fee pool will be sought in FY22.
In relation to Non-Executive Directors, the last increase in base fees was in FY18. The Board has reviewed external benchmarking data, consistent with the comparator groups used for the review of the role of Group MD and CEO, and considered a range of factors, including the time commitment required, effectiveness of the Board and the scale and complexity of the business. There will be an increase in fees in FY22.

SECTION 5
Executive Interests in Super Retail Group Securities
MINIMUM SECURITIES HOLDING POLICY
In 2015, to further align the interests of KMP with those of shareholders, the Board introduced a minimum shareholding requirement to be achieved within five years of commencing as a KMP, or within five years of the policy commencing FY15. The requirement is summarised below:
Group MD and CEO Other Executive KMP
150% x base salary 100% x base salary
KMP HOLDINGS OF EQUITY IN SUPER RETAIL GROUP
The remuneration framework results in three different types of Super Retail Group securities: a) ordinary shares, b) restricted shares and c) performance rights. The plans are outlined in Section 6. Restricted shares were used for the first time in FY21 to deliver the deferred STI.
ORDINARY SHARES OF SUPER RETAIL GROUP HELD BY KMP
Table 11 details the movement during the year in the number of ordinary shares in the Company held directly, indirectly or beneficially, by each Executive KMP, including their related parties is detailed below. The table details the number of ordinary shares in the Company received by KMP during the year on exercise of performance rights (see also Table 13) and on lifting of restrictions imposed on deferred STI (see also Table 12).

Performance rights for KMP and non-KMP were fulfilled through a combination of on-market share purchases and new share issues. Total performance rights vested were 172,653 (117,855 purchased on market and 54,798 new share issues). Shares were purchased on-market for the dividend re-investment program for the interim dividend for FY20, which was subsequently cancelled. Those shares were used to satisfy shares required for performance rights. The balance of the requirements were satisfied through the issue of new shares. More detail of the relevant tranches vesting in FY21 for KMP is provided in Table 13.
RESTRICTED SHARES HELD BY KMP
Table 12 details the movement during the year in the number of restricted shares in the Company granted to Executive KMP as part of their STI. This is the first year that restricted shares have been used within the remuneration framework. They were introduced to deliver the deferred component of STI because they are an effective instrument to deliver time-bound equity where performance outcomes have been achieved. Restrictions on deferred STI will be lifted by 50 per cent in September 2021, and the remainder in September 2022. Participants are eligible to receive dividends on restricted equity before the restriction is lifted.
As previously disclosed, in relation to FY20 performance the Board determined that a portion of the FY20 STI was forgone and an equal proportion deferred for 12 months into restricted shares, for which the restrictions lift on the whole award in September 2021 (Discretionary deferral of FY20 STI).

REPORTING PERIOD ENDED 26 JUNE 2021
The performance rights granted in FY21 were valued for the purpose of the financial statements using a fair value of $9.47 (refer Table 14), which is based on the share price at the accounting grant date of 30 December 2020. In February 2021, the Board withdrew the retention arrangement that had previously been reported for A Brandon, and he was granted performance rights under the Performance Rights Plan. As they were granted at a later date, the fair value of Mr Brandon's performance rights was determined to be $10.15.
The performance rights are expensed over their vesting period in line with the vesting conditions. Refer to Section 6 for details of these vesting conditions.
OPTIONS
There are no option plans in operation and hence no options were granted or vested during the financial year and no amounts unpaid on shares issued as a result of the exercise of the options in FY21.

Executive Remuneration Framework
Our philosophy is to provide flexible and market competitive remuneration arrangements that reflect the performance of the Group and its businesses.
The key elements are:
Market competitive
Aligned to shareholders' sustainable
value
Pay-forperformance environment specific and measurable
Equitable and consistent across
the Group
Recognise performance and
experience
Aligned to values and prudent risk
management
EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION OBJECTIVES
The Group MD and CEO, together with other Executive KMP, are remunerated under a Total Reward Framework. The Total Reward Framework is designed to appropriately reward executives for their contribution to the success of the Group by aligning all remuneration elements to the delivery of both short-term milestones and long-term sustainable value to the Group's shareholders. The target pay mix is set out in Table 9.
Our Remuneration Objectives
Attract, motivate and retain executive talent.
Differentiate reward to drive performance, including values and behaviours.
Alignment to shareholder interests and value creation through equity components granted as part of long-term incentives or through the deferral of cash-based short-term incentives into equity.
An appropriate balance of fixed and `at-risk' components focused on long-term strategy and short-term milestones.
ALIGNMENT OF OBJECTIVES TO OUR REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
Fixed Pay / Base Salary Package
Short-Term Incentive (STI)
Long-Term Incentive (LTI)
Remuneration Mix
Strategic Intent and Market Positioning
Positioned at the median compared to relevant market-based data (similarly sized S&P/ ASX200 companies), taking into consideration expertise and performance in the role.
To achieve Board approved targets, in support of the execution of the Group's strategy.
Total target cash, (base salary package and STI combined) is intended to be positioned within the third quartile of relevant benchmark comparisons.
To reward Executive KMP for sustainable long-term growth aligned to shareholders' interests.
`At-risk' remuneration consistent with the broader market.
Deferral of STI into equity extends the timeframe for receipt of variable reward outcomes.
Combined, base salary package, STI and LTI are intended to be positioned within the third quartile of relevant benchmark comparisons.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
SUPER RETAIL GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT FY21
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED 26 JUNE 2021
FIXED PAY/BASE SALARY Base salary comprises base pay and superannuation and may include prescribed non-financial benefits at the discretion of the individual executive on a salary-sacrifice basis. The Group provides superannuation contributions in line with statutory obligations. No guaranteed base salary increases are included in any KMP's service agreement.
VARIABLE OR `AT-RISK' REMUNERATION Variable or `at-risk' remuneration forms a significant portion of the Executive KMP remuneration opportunity. The purpose of variable remuneration is to focus executives on the execution of the Group's strategy and delivery of long-term sustainable value. The information below provides detail of the Group's short-term and long-term incentives.
SHORT TERM INCENTIVE REWARD Consistent with prior years, the FY21 STI scheme (the scheme) for Executive Leadership Team, including Executive KMP, is based on a balanced scorecard. Taking a scorecard approach allows executive performance to be assessed in a holistic way against four key drivers of performance, outlined in Table 15. Deferral of a portion of STI into equity was introduced in FY20 using restricted shares to meet the deferred STI component.
Table 15: Key aspects of the FY21 STI scheme
Scheme Participation Purpose
Performance Period Financial Gateway
Performance Targets
STI awards are made under the Super Retail Group Short-Term Incentive scheme (the scheme).
The scheme allows for the invitation to participate to Executive KMP and other executives.
The scheme rewards a combination of Board-approved financial and non-financial performance measures that are aligned to the execution of the Group's strategy, and which articulate performance expectations at both target and over-achievement levels.
The performance period is the 12 months ending 26 June 2021.
A minimum Group NPBT of at least 90 per cent of target must be met before any Short-Term Incentives are payable. If this level is not reached, any payment made to Executive KMP will be at the Board's discretion.
The achievement of individual KPI targets (once the financial gateway has been achieved) determines the proportion of the potential bonus entitlement that will be granted. For FY21, the following primary performance goals and weightings were selected. These goals are aligned to the Group's strategic plan. The significant weighting of financial outcomes, at 50 per cent, maintains a strong link between financial performance and incentive paid.

FY21 Target, Maximum (Stretch) Opportunity, and Minimum
Payment Vehicle: Restricted Shares
Payment Frequency
For KMP, the target STI opportunity is 100 per cent, and the maximum stretch STI opportunity is 150 per cent of target. For each measure, a threshold level of performance is set. This level must be met to achieve any payment; hence the minimum is zero. In setting this threshold, consideration is given to prior year performance and target.
FY21 STI awards are delivered as 70 per cent cash and 30 per cent deferral to equity, with half becoming unrestricted in year two and the remainder becoming unrestricted in year three. To meet this delivery, the Board determined that restricted shares were the most efficient vehicle. For FY20, the Board exercised discretion to reduce the amount of STI. The reduction resulted in a portion foregone. The Board also determined a portion would be deferred into restricted shares for one year.
Restricted shares receive dividends and have voting rights. They may not be traded until the restriction is lifted.
STI awards are paid annually. Payments are made in September following the end of the performance period.
The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee recommends the design of the STI scheme, KPI and target setting, and the Board holds approval and discretion over the outcomes. During the year the Board established principles for use in considering discretion for STI reward.
PRINCIPLES FOR BOARD DISCRETION ON STI
The Board has discretion to moderate outcomes under the STI scheme. At the conclusion of each performance period, and informed by the audited financial results and other relevant information, the Board will review the reward outcomes arising from the assessment against the performance metrics, and consider whether any adjustments to outcomes are appropriate, having regard to the following principles:
· Preserving the purpose and integrity of the remuneration framework and short-term remuneration target.
· Consistency with general market/security-holder expectations, particularly for the alignment of performance-based remuneration with the interests of shareholders.
· Exercising discretion only for events or items over the performance period that have a material impact on the outcome.
· Maintaining affordability of the STI scheme.
· Sustaining desired impact against subsequent year strategic and business objectives.
· Exercising any discretion fairly and consistently, considering:
· any actions taken which have optimised long and/or short-term value creation at the expense of an "in year" outcome measured in the scorecard;
· whether performance measures capture the impacts of unforeseen events on the business and creation of sustainable shareholder value; and
· the impacts of a team member's actions on the outcome as assessed against the performance metric.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE REWARD
The Group's remuneration structure aims to align long-term incentives for Executive KMPs and other executives with the delivery of sustainable value to shareholders. The alignment of interests is important in ensuring that Executive KMPs and other executives are focused on delivering sustainable returns to shareholders, whilst allowing the Group to attract and retain high-calibre executives. The Board has determined that the combination of normalised Earnings Per Share (EPS) and normalised Return On Capital (ROC) are appropriate measures of sustainable shareholder returns.
Historically the LTI plan has used a combination of two metrics being compound average growth in normalised earnings per share over three financial years and normalised return on capital (ROC) average over three financial years, which the Board determined are appropriate measures of sustainable shareholder returns. In the context of COVID-19 and the challenges of forecasting the impact on the business, the Board established a two-year Medium-Term Business Plan (MTBP), with targets for normalised ROC and Normalised Profit Before Tax (NPBT). The grant in FY21 covered LTI reward for both FY21 and FY22, and is based on performance over the two-year period of the MTBP. It is intended that grants from FY23 revert to the previous plan structure with a three-year performance period.
Table 16: Key aspects of the LTI plan
Plan Participation LTI Instrument Allocation Methodology
Performance Period Performance Hurdles Vesting Schedule
LTI awards are granted under the Super Retail Group Employee Performance Rights Plan (the plan).
The plan allows for the annual grant of Performance Rights to Executive KMP and other executives. The grant for FY21 includes the FY22 opportunity. There will be no grant in FY22. The FY21 grant is outlined in Table 18.
Performance rights are granted by the Group for nil consideration. Each performance right is a right to receive a fully paid ordinary share at no cost if service-based and performance-based vesting conditions are met.
The number of performance rights granted to each Executive KMP is determined in accordance with the Executive Remuneration Framework and has a value of between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of their base salary package. The notional value of performance rights granted to Executive KMP and other executives is determined on a face value basis using a volume-weighted average price for Super Retail Group shares traded on the ASX over a period of five trading days following the release of the Group's results for the preceding reporting period. The value of performance rights for grant purposes may differ from the accounting valuation shown in the financial statements, which considers probability of vesting and other factors.
Three financial years commencing July in the year the award is made.
Equity grants to Executive KMP and other executives are in two equal tranches, half relating to the compound annual growth rate in normalised EPS over the performance period and the remainder relating to normalised ROC averaged over the performance period.
The performance conditions for performance rights granted in FY20 were:

Significant Items
Each year, the Board reviews any significant items, positive and negative, and considers their relevance for reward outcomes. The Board may adjust for any significant events/items to give a clearer reflection of financial performance from one period to the next. Significant events/items are considered unusual by their nature and size and/or not in the ordinary course of the business and have been excluded from the definition of Normalised PBT as detailed in Note 4 in the financial statements. In FY21, there were no other adjustments impacting remuneration.
Vesting Period
If the performance conditions are satisfied within the performance period, the performance rights will vest over the subsequent years in accordance with the following schedule:
Time after grant of performance rights: Three years Four years
Percentage of performance rights that vest: 50 50
Note that for grants prior to FY20, qualified performance rights vest 50 per cent after three years, 25 per cent after four years and 25 per cent after five years.
Testing and Time Restrictions
At the end of the performance period, equity grants are tested against the performance hurdles set. Awards will only vest once the Board, in its discretion, determines that relevant conditions have been satisfied. If the performance hurdles are not met at the vesting date, the performance rights will lapse. There is no retesting of performance hurdles under the plan. The Board has discretion to determine that an Award vests prior to the end of the relevant period and retains a discretion to adjust performance-related outcomes.
Dividends and Voting Rights Performance rights do not carry voting or dividend rights.
Termination Provisions
Executive KMP must be employed at the time of vesting to receive the allotment of shares. The Board has discretion to amend the employment requirement based on the circumstances associated with the Executive KMP and other executives leaving.
Change of Control Provisions
Principles for Board discretion on equity-based incentive plans
Any unvested performance rights may vest at the Board's discretion, having regard to pro-rated performance.
· Preserve the purpose and integrity of the LTI plan. · Maintain the integrity of each year's remuneration as awarded. · Maintain the level of performance expected when the original targets were set. · Be consistent with general market/security-holder expectations, particularly for the alignment of
performance-based remuneration with the interests of shareholders. · Be able to be implemented without requiring special approvals, for example from the ASX or
security-holders. · Not hinder the success of any transaction (such as a significant acquisition) given that executives
do not otherwise receive incentive type payments for merger and acquisition activity. · Discretion should only be exercised for events or items over the performance period that have a
material impact on the outcome. · Adjustments (positive and negative) are made at the time of vesting (there may be more
than one relevant event during the performance period).

The grant for FY21 includes the FY22 opportunity. There will be no grant in FY22.
The notional value of performance rights granted to Executive KMP and other executives is determined on a face value basis using a volume-weighted average price for Super Retail Group shares traded on the ASX over a period of five trading days. Usually, the five-day period starts from the day following the release of the Group's results for the preceding reporting period. Following discussions with shareholders, the Board determined that the FY21 grant, should be based on the average over the five trading days following the trading update on 31 July 2020.
For the FY21 grant, the performance period is the two-year period of the Medium-Term Business Plan i.e. the combined FY21 and FY22 period.
The FY21 LTI grants are in two equal tranches, half measured against Normalised Profit Before Tax (NPBT) over the performance period and the remainder measured against normalised Return on Capital (ROC) averaged over the performance period.
Due to the market sensitive nature of the targets, the Board will disclose the minimum and maximum performance targets at the end of the performance period, once the outcome has been finalised.
For the FY21 grant, 50 per cent of rights vest at the minimum (target) performance level and 100 per cent of rights vest at the maximum performance target, with vesting between these points on a pro-rata basis.
a) NPBT (50 per cent of the Performance Rights) The percentage of Performance Rights attributed to the NPBT hurdle that is available to vest, if any, will be determined with reference to the Company's NPBT performance over the performance period (from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2022) as set out in the table below.

Vesting Period
Testing Dividends and Voting Rights

Time after grant of performance rights: Two years Three years Four years
Proportion of performance rights that vest: 1/3rd of performance rights 1/3rd of performance rights 1/3rd of performance rights

RETENTION ARRANGEMENTS There are no retention arrangements in place for KMP other than the normal operation of the remuneration framework outlined above.
SERVICE AGREEMENTS
Remuneration and other terms of employment for ongoing Executive KMP are formalised in service agreements. Each of these agreements provides for participation in STI and LTI arrangements. All service agreements with Executive KMP may be terminated by either party as shown in Table 19.

Service agreements do not provide for termination payments. However, service agreements specify the notice period required and notes that the executive may be required to work some or all of the notice period, and the Company reserves the right to pay in lieu of notice. Hence maximum termination benefit, other than for cause, is equal to the base salary for the Company notice period detailed in Table 19.
PERIOD OF RESTRAINT
Executive KMP have post-employment restraints within their service agreements. After cessation of employment for any reason, the employee must not compete with the Company's relevant specialty retailing businesses (including direct or indirect involvement as a principal, agent, partner, employee, shareholder, unit holder, director, trustee, beneficiary, manager, contractor, adviser or financier), without first obtaining the consent of the Company in writing. The restraint period is 12 months for all Executive KMP.
SECURITIES TRADING POLICY/HEDGING
Plan participants may not enter into any transaction designed to remove the `at risk' aspect of performance rights.
CLAWBACK POLICY
There is a Clawback Policy within all Executive Incentive plans. The Board may determine any treatment in relation to an Award, both vested and unvested, without limitation, in certain circumstances such as fraud, dishonesty, or breach of obligations (including, without limitation, a material misstatement of financial information). The plan document is available on the Group's website.
GENDER PAY EQUITY
The Group is committed to remunerating all team members fairly and equitably.
In support of gender pay equity, the Group conducts annual gender pay equity reviews. As a result of this review, we are satisfied no systemic issues exist regarding gender pay equity. In addition, the organisation is monitoring recruitment, performance and reward processes to ensure we deliver on our commitment to provide equitable, fair and consistent pay arrangements to team members.

SECTION 7
Non-Executive Director Remuneration Arrangements
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
The Group remuneration strategy is designed to attract and retain experienced, qualified Non-Executive Directors and to remunerate appropriately to reflect the responsibilities of the position. Non-Executive Directors receive fees to recognise their contribution to the work of the Board and the associated Committees on which they serve.
The Nominations Committee reviews the level of fees annually. Under the current fee framework, Non-Executive Directors are remunerated by way of a base fee, with additional fees paid to the Chairs and members of Committees; namely, the Audit and Risk, and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committees. This reflects the additional time commitment required by the Chairs and members of these Committees.
The Board Chair receives an all-inclusive fee and no other fees (e.g. Committee fees) are received.
Fees are inclusive of superannuation contributions required by the Superannuation Guarantee legislation.
Non-Executive Directors may opt each year to receive a proportion of their remuneration in Super Retail Group shares, which would be acquired on market.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEES
The fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are set out in Table 20 and are annual fees, inclusive of superannuation, unless otherwise stated.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION CHANGES IN FY21
There has not been an increase to the base fee for Non-Executive Directors since 2018. At the 2020 AGM, shareholders approved an increase in the fee pool from $1.2 million to $1.5 million. The Board determined that an increase in Committee fees was appropriate effective 28 October 2020 in line with independent market data.

LOANS TO KMP AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
During the financial year, the Group has paid premiums to ensure the directors, officers, and certain managers of the Group as permitted by its Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001. The policy prohibits disclosure of details of the insurance cover and the premiums paid.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Group. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.
Consistent with the provisions of the Constitution, the Group has also entered into deeds of access, indemnity and insurance with all directors, officers, and certain managers of the Group which provide indemnities against the full amount of any liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in their roles, subject to certain exclusions, including to the extent that such indemnity is prohibited by the Corporates Act 2001 or other applicable law.

SECTION 8
Remuneration Governance
The Board's role, as set out in the Board Charter, includes responsibility to approve and oversee the strategic direction of the Group, to appoint the Group MD and CEO and to monitor the governance, management and performance of the Group.
The Board is supported through three standing Board Committees, specifically the Audit and Risk Committee, the Nomination Committee and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee.
Each Committee has its own Charter setting out its role and responsibilities, composition and how it will operate.
The Audit and Risk Committee will liaise with the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, as necessary, relating to risk, policies and framework relating to KMP remuneration.
The Corporate Governance Statement (available on the Group's website) provides further information about the role of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (the Committee). The membership of the Committee is noted in Section 1 of the Directors' report, as is the number of meetings and individual attendance during the period ended 26 June 2021.
The Board Charter, and the Charters for each Board Committee are also available in the Corporate Governance section of the Group's website. The Charter for the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee includes the objectives of the Remuneration framework.
Table 23: Governance framework Board
Human Resources and Remuneration Committee
Remuneration Advisors
The Board approves the company-wide remuneration strategy, policy and framework. The Board must satisfy itself that these arrangements are consistent with the Company's purpose, statement of values, code of conduct, strategic objectives and Board's Risk Appetite Statement.
The Board reviews and approves (as appropriate) the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee recommendations. The Board is responsible for evaluating the performance and determining the remuneration of the Group MD and CEO and senior executives.
The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board in relation to the overall human resources and remuneration practices of the Group. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting and advising the Board in relation to the Group's human resources strategy including human resources policies; remuneration policies; health and safety; talent management; and otherwise assisting the Board to comply with legal and statutory requirements in respect of human resources and remuneration matters.
The Human Resources and Remuneraiton Committee operates independently of senior executives and engages directly with remuneration advisors. The requirements for external advisors' services are assessed annually in the context of remuneration matters that the Committee is required to address.
During FY21, the Board received market benchmark data from external remuneration advisers but did not receive remuneration recommendations as defined in the Corporations Act.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the period ended 26 June 2021
1.

The consolidated annual financial report of the Company as at and for the period ended 26 June 2021 comprises: the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group, and individually as Group entities).
The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the retail industry. Principal activities of the Group consist of: retailing of auto parts and accessories, tools and equipment; retailing of boating, camping, outdoor equipment, fishing equipment and apparel; and retailing of sporting equipment and apparel.
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
This section sets out the principal accounting policies upon which the Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared as a whole. Specific accounting policies are described in their respective Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Super Retail Group Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of measurement These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.
(b)
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Super Retail Group Limited as at 26 June 2021 and the results of its controlled entities for the period then ended. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated Group are fully eliminated.
(i)
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in
preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent
that there is no evidence of impairment.
(ii)
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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. These are
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet and statement of changes in equity respectively.
(iii)
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations (refer Note 24 - Business combinations), regardless of
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair
value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes
the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-
related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination
are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values as at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group
recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the
acquiree's net identifiable assets.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b)
Principles of consolidation (continued)
(iii)
Business combinations (continued)
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of
any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as
goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised
directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(iv)
Investments in associates and joint ventures
Associates and joint ventures are entities over which the Group has significant influence or joint control but not control. They are accounted
for using the equity method (see (v) below), after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
(v)
Equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's
share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group's share of movements in other comprehensive
income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised
as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(vi)
Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the
Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests
to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and
any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners of Super Retail Group Limited.
When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(vii)
Comparatives
Where applicable, various comparative balances have been reclassified to align with current period presentation. These amendments have
no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(c)
Foreign currency translation
(i)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (`the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is Super Retail Group Limited's functional and presentation currency.
(ii)
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying
cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

(c)
Foreign currency translation (continued)
(ii)
Transactions and balances (continued)
Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value
gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income,
are included in the fair value reserve in other comprehensive income.
(iii)
Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component in other comprehensive income.
(d)
Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax, except where the amount of goods and services tax incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the goods and services tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item of expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of goods and services tax.
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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.
(e)
Rounding of amounts
The economic entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the `rounding off' of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that instrument to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.
(f)
Financial year
As allowed under Section 323D(2) of the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors have determined the financial year to be a fixed period of 52 calendar or 53 calendar weeks. For the period to 26 June 2021, the Group is reporting on the 52 week period that began 28 June 2020 and ended 26 June 2021. For the period to 27 June 2020, the Group is reporting on the 52 week period that began 30 June 2019 and ended 27 June 2020.
(g)
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards became applicable in the current reporting period:
AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Definition of Material [AASB 101 and AASB 108] AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Definition of a Business [AASB 3] AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Interest Rate Benchmark Reform [AASB 9, AASB 139 and AASB 7] AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet issued in Australia [AASB 1054] Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards References to the Conceptual Framework
The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
Change in accounting policy The Group previously capitalised costs incurred in configuring or customising Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements as intangible assets, as the Group considered that it would benefit from those costs to implement the SaaS arrangements over the renewable term of the arrangements. Following the IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda decision on Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement in March 2021, the Group has reconsidered its accounting treatment and adopted the treatment set out in the IFRS IC agenda decision, which is to recognise those costs as intangible assets only if the implementation activities create an intangible asset that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria. Costs that do not result in intangible assets are expensed as incurred, unless they are paid to the suppliers of the SaaS arrangement to significantly customise the cloud-based software for the Group, in which case the costs are recorded as a prepayment for services and amortised over the expected renewable term of the arrangement.

2.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(g)
New and amended standards adopted by the Group (continued)
As a result of this change in accounting policy, the Group has determined that costs totalling $5.4 million relating to the implementation of SaaS arrangements should have been expensed when they were incurred, as the amounts were paid to the suppliers of the SaaS arrangements, other third parties, or employees who did not create separate intangible assets controlled by the Group, or were paid to the suppliers of the SaaS arrangements who did not significantly customise the cloud-based software for the Group. In addition, the Group also reclassified costs of $1.3 million paid to the suppliers of the SaaS arrangements to significantly customise the cloud-based software for the Group, from intangible assets to prepayments.
The reclassification of costs has been recorded during the current period ended 26 June 2021 with $5.4 million recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and $1.3 million reclassified to prepayments. Included in the costs totalling $5.4 million is an amount of $4.0 million relating to prior years, the tax effect of which is $1.2 million. The costs in relation to the prior period were individually and in aggregate not material from a quantitative and qualitative perspective.
(h)
Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 26 June 2021 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods or on foreseeable future transactions.
3.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a)
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following Notes to the consolidated financial statements: Note 7 Trade and other receivables; Note 8 Inventories; Note 9 Property, plant and equipment; Note 10 Intangible assets; Note 11 Leases; Note 12 Trade and other payables; Note 15 Provisions; Note 24 Business combinations; Note 29 Share-based payments.

Segment information
(a)
Description of segments
Management have determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer that are used to make strategic decisions. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the below reportable operating segments. This results in the following business segments:
Supercheap Auto (SCA): retailing of auto parts and accessories, tools and equipment; rebel: retailing of sporting equipment and apparel; BCF: retailing of boating, camping, outdoor equipment, fishing equipment and apparel; and Macpac: retailing of apparel, camping and outdoor equipment.
(b)
Segment information provided to the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
Detailed below is the information provided to the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer for reportable segments. Items not included in Normalised Net Profit After Tax (Normalised NPAT), and excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA and Segment EBIT, are one-off charges relating to business restructuring, non-continuing operations and other costs not considered part of normal operations.
Other items not included in total segment NPAT are determined by management based on their nature and size. They are items of income or expense which are, either individually or in aggregate, material to the Group or to the relevant business segment but are not in the ordinary course of business (for example reorganisations), or are part of the ordinary activities of the business but are unusual due to their size and nature (for example professional fees in relation to remediation activities).

Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity sells a product to the customer.
Sale of goods retail Revenue associated with the sale of goods is recognised when the performance obligation of the sale has been fulfilled and control of the goods has transferred to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale when the goods are collected or delivered.
Gift cards are considered a prepayment for goods and services to be delivered in the future. The Group has an obligation to transfer the goods or services in the future, creating a performance obligation. The Group recognises deferred revenue for the amount of the prepayment and recognises revenue when the customer redeems the gift card and the Group fulfils the performance obligation related to the transaction or likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is deemed remote.
It is the Group's policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return. Therefore, a refund liability (included in trade and other payables) and a right to the returned goods (included in other current assets) are recognised for the products expected to be returned. Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns at the time of sale at a portfolio level (expected value method). As the number of products returned has been steady for years, it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date.
The Group's obligation to repair or replace faulty products under standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

Finance costs Finance costs are recognised in the period in which these are incurred and are expensed in the period to which the costs relate. Generally costs such as discounts and premiums incurred in raising borrowings are amortised on an effective yield basis over the period of the borrowing. Finance costs include: interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings; amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings; amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings; finance lease charges; and interest revenue.
Employee benefits Refer to Note 15 for details on employee provisions and superannuation.
Leases Refer to Note 11 for details on leases.

Impaired trade receivables
As at 26 June 2021 current trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $0.4 million (2020: $0.5 million) were impaired and provided for. The individually impaired receivables mainly relate to wholesalers with whom the Group no longer trades.

Significant Accounting Policies
Trade receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. This is a minor portion of the Group's revenue. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the Group's impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 16.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at period end was determined for trade receivables to be minor.
Prepayments Costs paid to suppliers of SaaS arrangements to significantly customise cloud-based software are recorded as a prepayment for services and are amortised over the expected renewable term of the arrangement.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Prepayments The Group uses judgement to determine whether costs paid to suppliers of SaaS arrangements relate to significant customisation of the cloud-based software.

Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs comprise direct purchase costs and an appropriate proportion of supply chain variable and fixed overhead expenditure in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of stock on the basis of weighted average costs.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Net realisable value Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Significant Accounting Policies
Carrying value Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation. Historical costs include expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment Depreciation and amortisation are calculated on a straight-line basis for accounting and on a diminishing value basis for tax. Depreciation and amortisation allocates the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment net of residual values over the expected useful life of each asset to the Group. Estimates of remaining useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.
The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:
Plant and equipment Computer equipment
6.7% 25% 20% 33.3%
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Impairment Assets that are subject to depreciation 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Impairment tests for goodwill (continued)
The Group tests for goodwill impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use (VIU) calculations which require the use of assumptions. These calculations use cash flow projections based on business plans covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The terminal growth rate does not exceed the historical long-term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates.
Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations The key assumptions used in the VIU calculations across each business segment CGU include sales growth, EBITDA margin, long-term growth rate and the discount rate. A pre-tax discount rate of 11.7 per cent (2020: 11.7 per cent) and terminal growth rate of 2.5 per cent (2020: 2.5 per cent) have been assumed. Projected sales are based on the business plans described above. Budgeted EBITDA margin is determined based on past performance and expectations for the future.
The VIU model assumes that the positive COVID-19 trading impact experienced in 2021 will continue for a portion of 2022 and then previously experienced revenue and growth will return.
The Group believes that the assumptions used in the VIU model reflect a combination of the Group's past experience and the trading performance uncertainty associated with COVID-19. While temporary store closures may impact short term results, these are not expected to impact the long-term performance of the Group's businesses.
The recoverable amounts of each CGU are estimated to exceed their carrying amounts as at 26 June 2021. Management do not consider that a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions for any of the CGUs, would cause their carrying amounts to exceed their recoverable amounts.
Macpac Macpac last year suffered a 35.3 per cent decline in Segment EBITDA (pre-AASB 16). This was due to the impact of summer bushfires on peak trading, a change in promotional strategy generating a delay in price increases and the impact of COVID-19. The New Zealand mandatory store closures drove a 17.5 per cent like-for-like sales decline in the last 14 weeks of the last financial year. While not impaired, Macpac was sensitive to reasonably possible changes in key assumptions in the prior financial year.
During the current financial year, Macpac has achieved a 42.8 per cent increase in Segment EBITDA compared to the prior comparative period. EBITDA margin has increased 4.2 percentage points to 23.2 per cent. This growth exceeds assumptions used in impairment calculations performed last financial year. Key assumptions used in the VIU calculations this financial year include sales growth (% compound annual growth rate over five years) of 7.3 per cent (2020: 7.4 per cent) and pre-AASB 16 Segment EBITDA margin increase of 1.9 percentage points (2020: 5.6 percentage points). If the sales compound growth rate were to decline to 3.4 per cent this would cause the carrying amount of the Macpac CGU to exceed its recoverable amount, and if the EBITDA margin rate expansion were to decline 0.6 percentage points, instead of increase 1.9 percentage points, then this would also cause the carrying amount of the Macpac CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.
(c)
Impairment tests for the useful life for brands
No amortisation is provided against the carrying value of purchased brand names on the basis that they are considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Key factors taken into account in assessing the useful life of brands were: the strong recognition of brands; and the absence of legal, technical or commercial factors indicating that the life should be considered limited.
The carrying values of the purchased brand names are:

Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations Management have applied two key assumptions in the VIU analysis across each business segment CGU, a pre-tax discount rate of 11.7 per cent (2020: 11.7 per cent) and terminal growth rate of 2.5 per cent (2020: 2.5 per cent). Budgeted gross margin is determined based on past performance and expectations for the future.
The recoverable amount of the brand names currently exceed their carrying values. Management do not consider that a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions would cause the carrying value of any of the brand names to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or business at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Any impairment is recognised as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments.
Other intangible assets Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis. Estimates of remaining useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The amortisation rates used for each class of intangible assets are as follows:
Computer software Brand names
10% 33.3% Nil
Computer software Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licences that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and service, direct employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. IT development costs include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are recognised only following completion of technical feasibility and where the Group has an intention and ability to use the asset.
Costs incurred in configuring or customising SaaS arrangements can be recognised only as intangible assets if the implementation activities create an intangible asset that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria. Those costs that do not result in intangible assets are expensed as incurred, unless they are paid to the suppliers of the SaaS arrangements to significantly customise the cloud-based software for the Group, in which case the costs are recorded as a prepayment for services and amortised over the expected renewable term of the arrangement.
Brand names Brand names that are acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. These assets are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less impairment losses. Brand names are valued using the relief from royalty method. Brand names are determined to have indefinite useful lives and therefore do not attract amortisation.
Trademarks and licences Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licences acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks are amortised over their useful lives.
Research and development Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use.
Other items of expenditure Significant items of expenditure, such as costs incurred in store set-ups, are expensed in the financial year in which these costs are incurred.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Capitalised software costs and useful lives The Group has undertaken significant development of software in relation to the multi-channel customer programme and mutli-channel supply chain and inventory programme. The useful lives have been determined based on the intended period of use of this software.
Capitalised software and SaaS arrangements The Group uses judgement to determine whether implementation activities of SaaS arrangements create an intangible asset that the Group controls.

The amount recognised in profit or loss due to changes in lease payments arising from such concessions was nil during the current period (2020: $2.4 million).
Significant Accounting Policies
Leases The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 20 years but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

11. Leases (continued)
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leases (continued) Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received any initial direct costs, and restoration costs.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise small items of office equipment and furniture, and other immaterial assets.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property leases across the Group. These terms are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
Make-good requirements in relation to leased premises Make-good costs arising from contractual obligations in lease agreements are recognised as provisions at the inception of the agreement. A corresponding asset is taken up as part of the right-of-use asset at that time. Expected future payments are discounted using appropriate market yields at reporting date.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Variable lease payments Some property leases contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from a store. For individual stores, up to 100% of lease payments are on the basis of variable payment terms and there is a wide range of sales percentages applied. Variable payment terms are used for a variety of reasons, including minimising the fixed costs base for newly established stores. Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Extension and termination options In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are included in the lease term only if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Given the uncertainties that exist within the retail market, management currently considers leases with more than three years to expiry as not reasonably certain to be extended. A strategic store network review approved by the Board, was performed during the year, delivering higher confidence over network plans covering the next three years, resulting in option assumptions being revised for 160 leases. This had the impact of increasing lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets by $135.7 million. Of the Group's lease portfolio 64% (2020: 65%) of leases contain option renewals. The lease liability currently includes extension options in the calculation of lease term for 25% (2020: 14%) of leases with those options.
The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.

Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are payables for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid at that date. The amounts are unsecured and are normally paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. Refer Note 5 Revenue and other income from continuing operations for the Group's policy on Gift Cards.
The Group participates in a supply chain finance program (SCF) under which its suppliers may elect to receive early payment of their invoice from a bank by factoring their receivable from the Group. Under the arrangement, a bank agrees to pay amounts to a participating supplier in respect of invoices owed by the Group and receives settlement from the Group at a later date. The supplier engages directly with the bank. The principal purpose of this programme is to facilitate efficient payment processing and enable the willing suppliers to sell their receivables due from the Group to a bank before their due date. The Group does not control which suppliers elect to enter into the arrangement, as this is at the sole discretion of the supplier.
The Group has not derecognised the original liabilities to which the arrangement applies because neither a legal release was obtained, nor was the original liability substantially modified on entering into the arrangement. From the Group's perspective, the arrangement does not significantly extend payment terms beyond the normal terms agreed with other suppliers that are not participating. The Group does not incur any additional interest towards the bank on the amounts due to the suppliers. The Group therefore discloses the amounts factored by suppliers within trade payables because the nature and function of the financial liability remain the same as those of other trade payables. The payments to the bank are included within operating cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies
Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Tax transparency report
In May 2016, the government announced the release of the Board of Taxation's final report on the voluntary Tax Transparency Code. The aim of the Code is to provide a mechanism by which medium and large companies can be held accountable for their Australian tax affairs, and to give stakeholders confidence that companies are compliant with their statutory obligations.
Currently the Code is voluntary. Super Retail Group supports the concept of voluntary tax transparency as an important measure for all large companies to provide assurance to the Australian community that their tax obligations are being met. Super Retail Group's success is dependent on the wellbeing of the economies and communities where the businesses operate and our conservative approach to tax strategy is one of the many ways the Group acts to ensure sustainability of our operations.
The requirements of the Code are broken into Part A which forms part of the tax note as referenced below and Part B as disclosed below. The make-up of the respective parts is as follows:
(i)
Part A:
Effective company tax rates for our Australian and global operations (Note 14 (b))
A reconciliation of accounting profit to tax expense and to income tax payable (Note 14 (c))
Identification of material temporary (Note 14 (c)) and non-temporary differences (Note 14 (b))
(ii)
Part B:
Tax policy, tax strategy and governance
Information about international related party dealings
A tax contribution summary of income tax paid
Part B discloses the Australian income tax paid by the Group in the 2021 and 2020 financial years and provides qualitative information about our approach to tax risk and international related party dealings.
Tax policy, tax strategy and governance Super Retail Group is committed to full compliance with its statutory obligations and takes a conservative approach to tax risk. The Group's Tax Policy includes an internal escalation process for referring tax matters to the corporate Group Tax function. The CFO must report any material tax issues to the Board. Tax strategy is implemented through Super Retail Group's Tax Governance Policy. The Group's approach to tax planning is to operate and pay tax in accordance with the tax law in each relevant jurisdiction. The Group aims for certainty on all tax positions it adopts. Where the tax law is unclear or subject to interpretation, advice is obtained, and when necessary the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) (or other relevant tax authority) is consulted for clarity.
International related party dealings Super Retail Group is an Australian based group, with some trading operations in other countries, including New Zealand (Supercheap Auto (SCA) and Macpac) and China (Sourcing assistance). Given its current profile, the Group has very limited international related party dealings. Super Retail Group prices international related party dealings on an arm's length basis to meet the regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.
The Group's international related party dealings are summarised below:
The Group's Australian retail businesses source material amounts of trading stock from overseas, particularly through Asian based thirdparty suppliers. To facilitate this, the Group has Chinese-based subsidiaries that co-ordinates these supplies. Super Retail Group's Australian businesses pay the overseas subsidiaries for these services.
The SCA and Macpac retail businesses operate across Australia and New Zealand. To meet customer demand and manage stock levels, trading stock is occasionally transferred between jurisdictions, for which arm's length consideration is paid by the recipient of the trading stock.
Certain Group businesses operating outside of Australia are utilising intellectual property developed by Super Retail Group businesses in Australia. Where appropriate, and as required by international cross border tax rules, a royalty payment is made by the off-shore subsidiary to the relevant Group business in Australia.
Various administrative and support services are provided by Group head office and divisional parent entities to offshore subsidiary businesses. As required by international cross border tax rules, arm's length consideration is paid for these services.

Nature of activities Co-ordinating the sourcing of trading stock for SCA, rebel and BCF Active trading operations (SCA and Macpac) and dormant entities
(1) These companies are subject to the Australian Controlled Foreign Company rules. Under these rules profits generated by these subsidiaries from trading with Super Retail Group are taxable in Australia at the 30 per cent Australian corporate tax rate. For the 2021 year, the gross value of international related party transactions in and out of Australia represented less than 1.0 per cent of revenue.
Australian income taxes paid Super Retail Group is a large taxpayer and paid corporate income tax of $72.4 million in 2021 and $42.3 million in 2020.
Significant Accounting Policies
Current and deferred tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability.
An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arise in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
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 liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are recognised directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
A deferred tax liability is recognised in relation to some of the Group's indefinite life intangibles. The tax base assumed in determining the amount of the deferred tax liability is the capital cost base of the assets.
Tax consolidation Super Retail Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003 and account for current and deferred tax amounts under the "separate taxpayer within group" approach in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1052, Tax Consolidation Accounting.
On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Super Retail Group Limited.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Super Retail Group Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Super Retail Group Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Super Retail Group Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities' financial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.

15. Provisions (continued)
Significant Accounting Policies
Provisions Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make-good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Employee benefits short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 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 recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
Employee benefits long-term obligations The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of government bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Retirement benefit obligations Contributions are made by the Group to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.
Profit-sharing and bonus plans The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company's shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Make-good requirements in relation to leased premises Refer to Note 11 for details on make-good requirements in relation to leased premises.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Estimated value of make-good provision The Group has estimated the present value of the expenditure required to remove any leasehold improvements and return leased premises to their original state, in addition to the likelihood of this occurring. These costs have been capitalised as part of the cost of the right-of-use asset.
Long service leave Judgement is required in determining the following key assumptions used in the calculation of long service leave at balance date. Future increase in salaries and wages; Future on-cost rates; and Experience of employee departures and period of service.
Onerous contracts For loss-making revenue contracts, the Group estimates a range of potential financial outcomes for each contract based on forecast scenarios. It then records a liability for the present value of the resulting forecasted loss of each contract.
Employee benefits Judgements have been made in the calculations as to the number of overtime hours and allowance payments based on assumed work patterns.

Recognised fair value measurements
(i)
Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and
measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the
Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level
follows below the table.
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their fair values due to their shortterm nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

There were no transfers between any levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-forsale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.
(ii)
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield
curves;
the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date;
the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.

Significant Accounting Policies
Financial assets classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Group's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs (in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)) that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group's management have elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.
Cash flow hedges The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in profit or loss in the income periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance when the forecast payment that is hedged takes place). When the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at the time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. As soon as a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in profit or loss.

Options and Performance Rights
Options and performance rights granted are considered to be potential ordinary shares and have been included in the determination of
diluted earnings per share to the extent to which they are dilutive.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, 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 year and excluding treasury shares.
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.

On 15 June 2020, the Group announced an underwritten one for seven accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise equity of approximately $202.9 million at a fixed price of $7.19 per share. The equity raising comprised an institutional entitlement offer which settled on 24 June 2020 and a retail entitlement offer which settled on 9 July 2020. The issue of shares represent fully paid ordinary shares in Super Retail Group Limited.
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
The ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of shareholders of the parent entity is entitled to one vote and, upon a poll, each share is entitled to one vote.

Hedging reserve - cash flow hedges
The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge that are recognised directly in equity, as described in Note 16 Financial assets and financial liabilities. Amounts are recognised in profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
Share-based payments reserve The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of options and performance rights issued.
Foreign currency translation reserve Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve, as described in Note 2(c). The reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
NCI equity reserve The NCI equity reserve is used to recognise the change in ownership interest in controlled entities.

Classification of derivatives
Derivatives are classified as held for trading and accounted for at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as hedges. They
are presented as current assets or liabilities if they are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
The Group's accounting policy for cash flow hedges is set out in Note 16 Financial assets and financial liabilities. For hedged forecast transactions that result in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the Group has elected to include related hedging gains and losses in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset.

Foreign exchange risk (continued)
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the United States dollar (USD)
and Chinese Yuan (CNY).
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
The Group's risk management policy is to hedge between 50 per cent and 75 per cent of anticipated foreign currency purchases for the subsequent four months and up to 50 per cent of anticipated foreign currency purchases for the following five to 12 month period.
Instruments used by the Group The Group retails products including some that have been imported, with contract pricing denominated in USD or CNY. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the Group has entered into forward exchange rate contracts to purchase USD. The contracts are timed to mature in line with forecast payments for imports and cover forecast purchases for the subsequent twelve months, on a rolling basis. The Group does not currently enter into forward exchange rate contracts to purchase CNY.

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity. When the cash flows occur, the Group adjusts the initial measurement of the component recognised in the consolidated balance sheet by the related amount deferred in equity. In the year ended 26 June 2021, no hedges were designated as ineffective (2020: nil).
Gains and losses arising from hedging contracts terminated prior to maturity are also carried forward until the designated hedged transaction occurs.

Group sensitivity Based on the financial instruments held at 26 June 2021, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10 per cent against other currencies with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Group's post-tax profit would have been nil, on the basis that the financial instruments would have been designated as cash flow hedges and the impact upon the foreign exchange movements of other financial assets and liabilities is not material.
Equity would have been $11.1 million lower/$13.5 million higher (2020: $8.1 million lower/$9.9 million higher) had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10 per cent against other currencies, arising mainly from forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The impact on other Group assets and liabilities as a result of movements in exchange rates is not material.
A sensitivity of 10 per cent was selected following review of historic trends.
(ii)
Cashflow and fair value interest rate risk
Instruments used by the Group - interest rate swap contracts An assessment of the forecast core debt requirements subsequent to the equity raising announced on 15 June 2020 indicated that core debt was minimal. In accordance with the treasury policy, all interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the end of the 2020 financial year. No new interest rate swap contracts have been entered into as core debt remains at nil. Therefore current interest expense is subject to variable rates only.

Group sensitivity The Group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the 2021 and 2020 financial years, the Group's borrowings were at variable rates and were denominated in Australian dollars.
As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:
Bank overdrafts and bank loans
2021 $m -
2020 $m
250.0
An analysis by maturities is provided in (d) below.
The Group risk management policy is to maintain fixed interest rate hedges of approximately 40 per cent of anticipated core debt levels over a 3 year period. The Group utilises interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate exposure on borrowings but as disclosed above all interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the end of the 2020 financial year as core debt was significantly reduced.
As at 26 June 2021, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, posttax profit and equity for the year would have been unchanged (2020: $1.7 million lower/higher), mainly as a result of no drawn debt.
(c)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
(i)
Risk management
Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum credit rating
of `A' are accepted.
If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by management.

Credit risk (continued)
(i)
Risk management (continued)
Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash, using major credit cards or buy-now-pay-later solutions, mitigating credit risk.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors and/or
regions.
(ii)
Security
For wholesale customers without credit rating, the Group generally retains title over the goods sold until full payment is received, thus limiting
the loss from a possible default to the profit margin made on the sale. For some trade receivables the Group may also obtain security in the
form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the
agreement.
(d)
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. As a result of the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the finance department maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the Group's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these.

Maturities of financial liabilities
The following tables present the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non-derivative financial liabilities; and
- net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing
of the cash flows.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. For interest rate swaps the cash flows have been estimated using forward interest rates applicable at the end of the reporting period.

22. Capital management
(a)
Risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group monitors overall capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet (including non-controlling interests) plus net debt.
During 2021 the Group's strategy was to ensure that it held a strong liquidity position focused on net cash and committed debt facilities sufficient to support a period disrupted by COVID-19. The gearing ratios at 26 June 2021 and 27 June 2020 were as follows:
Total borrowings Total lease liabilities Less: Cash & cash equivalents Net Debt Total Equity Total Capital Gearing Ratio
2021 $m -
989.6 (242.3)
747.3 1,226.5 1,973.9
37.9%
2020 $m
247.8 939.3 (285.1) 902.0 991.3 1,893.3 47.6%
The Group also monitors ongoing capital on the basis of the fixed charge cover ratio (FCCR). The ratio is calculated as earnings before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortisation and rental expense (EBITDAR) divided by fixed charge obligations (being finance costs rental expenses).
For the purposes of capital management FCCR is utilised on a pre-AASB 16 Leases basis. The FCCR and net debt to EBITDA ratios at 26 June 2021 and 27 June 2020 were as follows:

Franking credits
The franked portions of dividends paid after 26 June 2021 will be franked out of existing franking credits and out of franking credits arising from the payments of income tax in the years ending after 26 June 2021.
Franking credits remaining at balance date available for dividends resolved to be paid after the current balance date based on a tax rate of 30%

The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for: - franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liability; and - franking debits that will arise from the payment of the dividend as a liability at the reporting date.
The amount recorded above as the franking credit amount is based on the amount of Australian income tax paid or to be paid in respect of the liability for income tax at the balance date.
The impact on the franking account of the dividend recommended by the Directors since year end will be a reduction of $53.2 million (2020: $18.9 million). The recommended dividend has not been recognised as a liability at year end.

Significant Accounting Policies Parent entity financial information The financial information for the parent entity, Super Retail Group Limited has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Super Retail Group Limited.
Tax consolidation legislation Super Retail Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Super Retail Group Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for current and deferred tax amounts under the "separate taxpayer within group' approach in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1052, Tax Consolidation Accounting.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Super Retail Group Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Super Retail Group Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Super Retail Group Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Super Retail Group Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities' financial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.
Financial guarantees Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

The vesting conditions are based on Board approved measures of sustainable shareholder returns such as Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Return on Capital (ROC). Historically the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan has used a combination of EPS and ROC which the Board determined are appropriate measures of sustainable shareholder returns. In the context of COVID-19 and the challenges of forecasting the impact on the business, the Board established a two-year Medium Term Business Plan (MTBP), with targets for ROC and Normalised Profit Before Tax (NPBT). The grant in the 2021 financial year covered LTI reward for both the 2021 and 2022 financial years and is based on performance over the twoyear period of the MTBP. For the Performance Rights granted on 1 September 2019, these are tested based on the June 2022 results and will vest over the two years from the year of testing at 50 per cent per year. For the Performance Rights granted on 1 November 2020, these are also tested based on the June 2022 results and vest from the year of testing over three years at one-third per year.
Subject to any adjustment in the event of a bonus issue, each right is an entitlement to subscribe for one share. Upon the exercise of a right by a Participant, each share issued will rank equally with other shares of the Company.
Performance Rights issued under the plan may not be transferred unless approved by the Board. The table below summarises rights granted under the plan.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of Performance Rights outstanding as at the end of the period was 1.8 years (2020: 1.8 years).
Fair value of Performance Rights granted
For Performance Rights, the fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the Performance Rights, the vesting and performance criteria, 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 Performance Rights.

Significant Accounting Policies
Share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain employees via the Super Retail Group Performance Rights Plan.
The fair value of performance rights granted under the plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance rights.
The fair value of the performance rights granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of performance rights that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of performance rights that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
Upon exercise of the performance rights, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those performance rights remains in the share-based payments reserve.

Net tangible asset per ordinary share (NTA) is calculated based on Net Assets of $1,226.5 million (2020: $991.3 million) less intangible assets of $866.9 million (2020: $874.3 million) adjusted for the associated deferred tax liability of $75.3 million (2020: $75.3 million). The number of shares used in the calculation was 225,826,500 (2020: 219,697,707).
The NTA calculation includes the right-of-use assets in respect of property, plant and equipment leases of $894.3 million (2020: $848.0 million), and the lease liabilities recognised under AASB 16 Leases of $989.6 million (2020: $939.3 million). If the right-of-use assets and associated deferred tax liability were excluded from the calculation, the NTA would have been negative $0.86 per ordinary share (2020: negative $1.85).

Our audit approach
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.
Materiality For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $17.1 million, which represents
approximately 4% of the Group's profit before tax. We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit
and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. We chose Group profit before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured. We utilised a 4% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds. Audit scope Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Carrying value of Goodwill and Brand names (Refer to note 10) Goodwill $526.6m ; Brand names : $253.3m
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGUs) which are consistent with the Group's segments.
During the annual review for impairment, the Group determined the recoverable amount for each CGU using discounted cash flow valuation models (valuation models) which relied on significant assumptions and estimates of future trading performance.
The carrying value of goodwill and brand names was a key audit matter due to its size and the judgements involved in estimating the cash flow forecasts, including consideration of the assumed economic recovery in relation to COVID-19 applied to the forecasts.
Our audit procedures included the following:
Developing an understanding of and evaluating the Group's processes and controls related to annual impairment assessments of the CGUs in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
Comparing actual results with historical forecasts to assess the reliability of the forecasts used in the cash flow models.
Evaluating how the Group considered the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in the future cash flow forecasts.
Together with PwC valuation experts, assessing the valuation methodology and mathematical accuracy of the models and comparing the discount rate and growth rate assumptions to historical company data and market observable inputs.
Evaluating the Group's assessment that the indefinite life assumption for brand names remains appropriate at period end.
Evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial report, in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.

Key audit matter
Lease accounting (Refer to note 11) Right of Use assets : $894.3m, Lease Liabilities $989.6m
The Group adopted Australian Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) in the prior period. As a result, Right of Use assets and Lease Liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet.
This was a key audit matter due to the:
Financial significance of the balances included in the financial report
The critical judgements used in determining the lease term assumptions in the lease calculations
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:
Assessing the Group's accounting policies against the requirements of AASB 16.
For a sample of lease agreements: Evaluating the lease calculations against the terms of the lease agreement and the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards Testing the mathematical accuracy of the lease calculations Evaluating the evidence for critical judgements made over lease term assumptions.
Evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures made in Note 11 in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
Computer software (Refer to note 10) Net computer software $87.0m, Note 2 (g)
During the period, the Group changed its accounting policy on accounting for Configuration or Customisation Costs for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements as intangible assets in line with the accounting treatment set out in the IFRS Interpretation Committee agenda decision in March 2021 and AASB 138 Intangible Assets (AASB 138).
This was a key audit matter due to the:
Our audit procedures included the following:
Assessing the Group's accounting policies against the requirements of AASB 138 and the IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda decision on Configuration or Customisation Costs for Softwareas-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements.
For a sample of intangible assets, we performed the following procedures, amongst others:
Assessing the nature of the costs capitalised against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
Financial significance of the intangible assets balance included in the financial report
Judgement involved to determine whether implementation activities of SaaS arrangements create an intangible asset that the Group controls.
Obtaining evidence supporting the Group's classification of costs in relation to SaaS arrangements.
Evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial report, in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
Key audit matter
Inventory valuation (Refer to note 8) $696.4m
The valuation of inventory was a key audit matter because of the judgements involved in:
Estimating the net realisable value (NRV) of inventory.
Capitalising attributable overheads and adjusting inventory cost for rebates received.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:
Assessing the Group's accounting policies against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
For a sample of inventory items, agreeing movements between stocktake date and year end to supporting documentation.
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the stock loss provision.
Assessing the NRV provision, using data analysis techniques to compare the carrying value to the most recent sales price for each item.
Evaluating the Group's methodology for capitalising overheads and rebates to inventory against the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.
Evaluating the nature of a sample of the costs capitalised during the year, in light of the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related 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 the financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
