Significant changes in the state of affairs

The statement below should be read in conjunction with note 33 (events occurring after the balance sheet date) of the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2016 and any public announcements made by the Company during the financial half-year.

Other than matters dealt with in this report there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial half- year.

Group financial performance

The Group results for the period and the prior corresponding period (pcp) include certain significant items. Refer to note 3 of the half-year financial statements for detailed disclosure in relation to these items.

In order to provide users with additional information regarding the continuing operations excluding the aforementioned significant items and to help understand the impact of these events on the results of the Group, the segment results are presented in two separate tables.

Table A presents the segment results on a basis including all significant items. See Table A: Segment results as reported - including significant items.

Table B presents the results excluding significant items. See Table B: Adjusted segment results.

On 29 June 2016, the Group announced the sale of Sector 9. The results of Sector 9 did not meet the conditions under AASB 5 to be disclosed as a discontinued operation and are therefore included in the pcp in both tables below. The disposal of Sector 9 primarily impacts the year on year comparison of revenue and expenses, particularly in the Americas, and has been highlighted in some of the accompanying commentary included in this report.

Constant currency

Due to a significant portion of the Group's operations being outside Australia, the Group is exposed to currency exchange rate translation risk i.e. the risk that the Group's offshore earnings and assets fluctuate when reported in Australian Dollars (AUD). The Group's segment information for the prior period has also been provided in the below commentary on a constant currency basis (i.e. using the current period monthly average exchange rates to convert the prior period foreign earnings) to remove the impact of foreign exchange movements from the Group's performance against the pcp. The constant currency comparatives are not compliant with Australian Accounting Standards.

Adjusted EBITDAI

Adjusted EBITDAI excludes pre-tax significant items of income and expense. Refer to note 3 of the half-year financial statements for detailed disclosure in relation to these items.

Comments on the operations and the results of those operations are set out below:

Consolidated result including significant items

Net loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 was $16.1 million compared to a net loss after tax of $1.6 million in the pcp. The current half-year includes an income tax expense of $3.9 million compared to an income tax expense in the prior half-year of $3.7 million. Loss before income tax expense for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 was $12.2 million compared to profit before tax of $2.1 million in the pcp. The results were impacted by the abovementioned significant items in both half-years.

Group performance excluding significant items

Group sales to external customers of $508.3 million, excluding third party royalties, represents an as reported 9.5% decrease on the pcp. In constant currency terms Group revenues decreased 7.6% on the pcp. In constant currency terms, sales revenue in Asia Pacific decreased 6.7%, the Americas decreased 9.5% and Europe decreased 5.9% compared with the pcp. Adjusting for the disposal of Sector 9 comparable Group revenues in constant currency terms decreased 5.8% for the period compared with the pcp.

Consolidated gross margins were 51.6% (51.7% in the pcp).

Adjusted EBITDAI excluding significant items of $29.3 million for the period compares to $37.2 million for the pcp. This is a decrease of 21.1% (a decrease of 20.9% in constant currency terms).

Regional results excluding significant items were as follows:

• In Asia Pacific

  • EBITDAI of $20.6 million for the period compares to $29.6 million for the pcp.

  • Revenue was 5.2% lower than the pcp in as reported terms (down 6.7% in constant currency terms) and adjusted EBITDAI was down $9.0 million compared to the pcp.

  • Asia Pacific was significantly impacted by a weak trading month of October with comparable bricks and mortar retail sales down 16.0% in Australia which had a flow on impact to wholesale repeat orders in the months of November and December.

  • Bricks and mortar retail sales in November and December improved compared to October. Australian comparable bricks and mortar retail sales in the month of December were up 0.9%.

  • For the half-year as a whole, bricks and mortar comparable store sales trading across the region was 3.7% lower compared to the pcp. In Australia, comparable bricks and mortar store sales were down 4.2% on the pcp.

  • Gross margin pressure reflected the lower AUD, relative to the United States Dollars (USD), during the period which increased input prices (approximately $4 million) and impacted gross margins 170 basis points compared to the pcp, together with a highly promotional retail environment. Sourcing and other margin improvements limited the overall decline in gross margins to 130 basis points.
