CONTENTS

1

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Delegat Group Limited, it is with great pleasure that I present
to you, yet another record year for Delegat Group Limited on our journey to build a leading global

Super Premium wine company. I am pleased to present its operating and financial results for the

year ended 30 June 2021, which has been a challenging but successful year for the Group. The

results achieved in 2021 are testament to the strength of Delegat Group’s business model.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

• Global Case Sales of 3,178,000.

• Record Operating NPAT of $65.5 million, up 8%.

• Record Operating EBITDA of $122.9 million, up 5%.

• Strong Cash from Operations of $74.7 million.

• Operating Return of Capital Employed of 13.8%.

The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

To provide further insight into the Group’s underlying operational performance, the Group has also

included in this report an Operating Performance Report. This Operating Performance Report

excludes the impact of fair value adjustments required under NZ IFRS for grapes and derivative

instruments. As a fully integrated winemaking and sales operation, Operating Profit includes the

fair value adjustment in respect of grapes when packaged wine is sold rather than on harvest of

the grapes, and the fair value adjustment on derivative instruments when these foreign exchange

contracts and interest rate swaps are realised.

“The results achieved

in 2021 are testament to

the strength of Delegat

Group’s business model.”

The Group has included a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit which eliminates from
each line in the Statement of Financial Performance all fair value adjustments.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

A record operating NPAT of $65.5 million was generated compared to $60.7 million

*

in the previous

12 months. Operating EBIT of $99.9 million is $4.8 million higher than last year. Operating Expenses

(before NZ IFRS adjustments) at $51.0 million are $5.1 million lower than last year.

Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $302.7 million on global case sales of 3,178,000 in the year.

The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in table 2.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

In accordance with NZ IFRS the Group is required to account for certain assets at ‘fair value’ rather

than at historic cost. All movements in these fair values are reflected in and impact the Statement

of Financial Performance. The Group records adjustments in respect of three significant items at

the year-end as described below and detailed in table 3.

Table 1 OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Notes:

1. Operating Revenue is before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if gains).

2. Operating Gross Profit is before the net fair value movements on biological produce (harvest adjustment) and the NZ IFRS adjustments excluded in Note 1.

3. Operating Expenses are before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if losses).

4. Operating EBIT, EBITDA and NPAT are before any fair value adjustments.

1. Operating Performance is a non-GAAP measure and as such does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP. It may therefore not be comparable to non-GAAP

measures presented by other entities. The Executive Chairman and Acting Managing Director’s Reports are read by the auditors as part of their responsibilities in respect

of other information as disclosed in their audit report.

* The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been restated for growing costs under NZ IAS 41: Agriculture. Refer to Note 1 of the financial statements.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2021

• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs
incurred, at harvest. Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for

the year, by creating a Harvest Provision. This provision is then released through Cost of Sales

when inventory is sold in subsequent years. This represents the reversal of prior periods’ fair

value adjustments in respect of biological produce as finished wine is sold in subsequent years.

In 2021, the market value of the Company grapes exceeded the costs incurred by $9.2 million

(2020 Restated*: $18.1 million). This write-up is lower than last year due to a lower-yielding 2021

vintage. This write-up, less the impact of prior years’ vintages being sold has resulted in a net

write-down of $7.3 million for the year (2020 Restated*: write-up of $1.2 million);

• Derivative Instruments are held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate

exposure. The mark-to-market movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in a

fair value write-up of $2.7 million (2020: write-up of $1.3 million);

• The tax effect of reinstatement of depreciation in relation to the reintroduction of depreciation

deductions on buildings has resulted in a tax write-up of $nil (2020: $2.9 million).

The above adjustments, net of taxation, amount to a write-down of $3.3 million for the year (2020

Restated*: write-up of $4.7 million).

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported audited financial

performance for the year ended 30 June 2021 is reconciled to Operating Profit as detailed in table 4.

CASH FLOW

The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $74.7 million in the current year, which is

a decrease of $9.6 million or 11% on the previous year. This decrease is due to higher payments

to suppliers and employees and higher net income tax paid. A total of $62.2 million was paid for

additional property, plant and equipment during the year, this includes vineyard developments in

New Zealand, and development of the Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough wineries, which will provide

earnings growth into the years ahead. The Group distributed $17.2 million to shareholders in

dividends. A net drawdown of $3.2 million was made during the year, increasing borrowings.

Having secured a $330.0 million syndicated Senior Debt facility in 2019 the Group is well positioned

to fund its current operations as well as future capital investment in both New Zealand and Australia.

The Group’s net debt at 30 June 2021 amounted to $249.1 million, an increase of 4% compared to

last year and remains well within the Group’s long-term bank debt facilities.

DIVIDENDS

The Directors consider that the underlying operational performance and continued strong cash

flows justify an increase in dividends this year. Accordingly, the Directors are pleased to advise they

have approved a fully imputed dividend payout of 20.0 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on

8 October 2021 to Shareholders on record at 24 September 2021.

Notes:

1. Biological Produce (Grapes) is the difference between market value paid for grapes and the cost to grow grapes.


The Harvest Provision is reversed and only recognised when the finished wine is sold.

INVESTING FOR GROWTH
Delegat Group continues to invest to support our strategic goal of building a leading global Super

Premium wine company. During the year under review $61.7 million was invested in growth assets

including development of the Group’s wineries, land acquisition and vineyard development in New

Zealand and the Barossa Valley, Australia.

The Group plans to invest an additional $29.7 million in 2022 to provide earnings growth in the years

ahead. This capital investment supports the Group’s plan to grow sales to 3,976,000 cases by 2024

and will provide for further growth beyond that period.

OUR GREAT WINE PEOPLE

The Board would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Delegat Great Wine People around

the world. Our global team has once again shown great resolve and resilience to deliver success in

a challenging year. The workload and operating environment endured this year have asked a great

deal of our teams around the world and they have responded magnificently. Our people have built a

unique culture founded on our values of aim high, mastery and winning together. The commitment

and talent of our global team underpins our success and positions the Group well to deliver on its

substantial growth plans.

DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2021 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

6

Our global team demonstrated great resilience and resolve in the 2021 financial year delivering
record Operating Net Profit after tax of $65.5 million in a year impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic

and associated global supply chain disruption. We are very proud and appreciative of the way

our people brought to life our core value of Winning Together, in what can only be described as a

challenging year.

GLOBAL SALES PERFORMANCE

The Group achieved global case sales of 3,178,000 cases which was 3% lower than the previous year.

The decline in sales was primarily due to the impact of ongoing global port congestion compounded

by constrained shipping line capacity on all major trade lanes.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, related lockdowns and social distancing requirements have limited

field sales activities and significantly reduced sales in on premise channels. Despite this our in-

market sales teams have engaged productively with customers and distributors throughout the

year. In this environment, consumers have gravitated to established brands that they know and

trust, and Oyster Bay has continued to flourish as a leading Super Premium wine brand.

The Group’s sales continue to be well diversified by market with 47% in North America, 34% in United

Kingdom, Ireland and Europe, and 19% in the Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region.

The Group continues to invest in the development of dedicated in-market sales teams to support

substantial future sales growth. The Group has in-market sales teams in New Zealand, Australia,

the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and China. This unique infrastructure of in-market

sales offices delivers the Group high quality distribution, enduring business relationships, market

knowledge and focus.

NORTH AMERICA
Sales in North America grew by 3% to a record 1,487,000 cases, albeit sales volumes were

constrained by port congestion and reduced shipping line capacity.

The United States remains one of the world’s most attractive wine markets, demonstrating

sustained premium category growth and strong demand for imported wines including Marlborough

Sauvignon Blanc. This makes it a major growth market opportunity for the Group.

The Oyster Bay brand continued to achieve strong distribution and rate of sale per point of

distribution across the country. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a top 5 white wine over US$10 by

value.

1

The Group is well positioned to continue building momentum through its strong relationships

with its distributor partners, a key factor in driving success of Oyster Bay and Barossa Valley Estate.

In Canada, a strong base of distribution has been established in each of the major provinces.

Oyster Bay has grown to become one of the leading Super Premium wine brands in the market, with

success being achieved across the range, including number two Chardonnay and top ten Pinot Noir

in Canada above C$14.

2

UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND AND EUROPE

Sales in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe region were 1,074,000 cases, 2% lower than the

prior year, largely due to supply chain constraints.

Oyster Bay has maintained its Super Premium category leadership position in the United Kingdom,

with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot continuing to be the top selling wines above £8

in their individual varietal categories irrespective of origin.

3

Barossa Valley Estate sales were

adversely affected by the impact of lockdowns and social distancing requirements on customers in

the hospitality sector.

In Ireland, Oyster Bay continues to achieve success as a leading Super Premium wine brand. Oyster

Bay Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir remain the top-selling wines in their respective varietal

categories above €9.

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND ASIA PACIFIC
In the established New Zealand and Australia markets Oyster Bay is a category-leading Super

Premium wine brand. The Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region achieved sales of 618,000

cases, 16% lower than in the previous year as the Group focused on optimising long-term value

growth in preference to short-term volume growth, whilst sales in Australia were also impacted by

port congestion and reduced shipping line capacity.

In Australia, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc continues to lead the category as the top-selling Sauvignon

Blanc and bottled white wine by value, Oyster Bay Chardonnay remains the top-selling Chardonnay

above A$13 and Oyster Bay Pinot Gris has become a top three product in its varietal category above

A$13.

5

During the year, the Group again experienced strong growth in China. While China is currently

a relatively small emerging market for the Group, it continues to represent a valuable long-term

growth opportunity.

BRANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS

The Group’s goal is to establish Oyster Bay and Barossa Valley Estate as leading brands in the Super

Premium wine category globally.

Based on wine consumption patterns, the Group classifies markets as Established, Growth or

Emerging. Understanding the level of maturity of our markets is essential for setting business

strategy. Marketing activities are then tailored to the specific needs of each market and phases of

brand development. The Group is investing in marketing programmes designed to grow consumer

awareness and affinity, supporting distribution and rate of sale growth per point of distribution. The

Group uses a mix of media channels, both online and offline to attract and engage the premium wine

consumers and build its brands. The Group also works closely with its retail partners to develop

highly effective in-store activations that support rate of sale growth and nurture long-term brand

affinity.

In recognition of its market performance and reputation, Oyster Bay continues to be recognised as

a Blue Chip Brand by New York’s IMPACT Magazine, a status reserved only for brands of substantial

size and sustained growth over many years. Oyster Bay was also recognised by IMPACT Magazine

as a ‘Hot Brand’ for the eleventh consecutive year.

Last year Oyster Bay

engaged with over

58 million wine lovers

across the globe.

2021 HARVEST
The 2021 harvest delivered exceptional quality fruit across all three of our wine regions.

The Group harvest of 37,470 tonnes was 2% lower than the prior vintage and lower than forecast due

to unseasonal cool spring weather during flowering in both Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay.

The vintage outcome will deliver excellent quality wines and the Group has appropriate inventories

to achieve the 2022 forecast case sales as outlined in this report.

SUSTAINABILITY

Recognition and respect for the environment are reflected in the strong leadership role the Group

plays in the practice and promotion of sustainable winegrowing and wine production. As a leader in

the New Zealand wine industry and as a founding member since 2002 of Sustainable Winegrowing

New Zealand (SWNZ), the Group takes its responsibilities to respect and protect the environment

very seriously. The Group’s New Zealand vineyards and wineries are 100% accredited by the

independently audited SWNZ Sustainability Programme. The Group applies many of these same

principles in the Barossa Valley, again as a leader of sustainable winegrowing practices within the

Australian wine industry.

Over the coming year the Group will undertake further work on the Group’s Climate Change strategy

and response, using the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure framework, which covers

governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets. The Group is also undertaking a

project to measure emissions generated from operations in order to develop plans to minimise the

emissions footprint of the business.

GROUP OUTLOOK

The Group continues to operate in an environment of elevated uncertainty arising from the ongoing

global pandemic and global supply chain disruption. Performance over the last year is testament

to the strength and resilience of the Group’s business model in this environment. The Board is

confident in the Group’s ability to prosper and drive sustainable sales and earnings growth over the

long term. Accordingly, the Group continues to invest in its assets, brands and people in line with

our strategic goal to build a leading global Super Premium wine company.

Delegat plans to grow sales by 25% to 3,976,000 cases over the next three years. The primary driver

of planned growth is Oyster Bay sales in North America.

With respect to the 2022 year, Delegat plans to grow sales by 8% to 3,419,000 cases and forecasts

Operating Net Profit after Tax to be in the range of $57 to $61 million. The forecast Operating Net

Profit After Tax is lower than this year’s result due to the impact of the lower yielding 2021 vintage

and higher grape prices resulting in an increased cost of goods per case, unfavourable exchange

rate movements, higher freight costs and the recurrence of operating expenses suspended due to

Covid-19 restrictions. The Group will continue to closely monitor and manage the potential impact

of ongoing supply chain disruption including port congestion and shipping line capacity constraints,

noting that these factors present some risk to the achievement of forecast case sales in 2022.

OUR PEOPLE
As noted earlier in this report, we are extremely proud and appreciative of the way our people

brought to life our core value of Winning Together in a challenging year. Our people are the key to

realising the Group’s future goals and have collectively built a high performance team culture that is

unique in the global wine business. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202120

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION

REPORTING ENTITY

The financial statements presented are those of Delegat Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group). Delegat

Group Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the

Companies Act 1993. The Parent shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The financial statements comprise the statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive

income, statement of changes in equity, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, as well as the

notes to the financial statements. The financial statements for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021 were

authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 August 2021.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New

Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. For the purposes of complying

with NZ GAAP, the entity is a for-profit entity. These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars,

rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial

instruments and biological produce which have been measured at fair value.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Group to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that

affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates

and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in

which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods

if the revision affects both current and future periods.

S TATE M E NT O F C O M PLI A N C E

The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and

other applicable Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), as applicable to the Group as a profit-oriented entity. The

financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and

comparative as at 30 June 2020.

Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or

has rights, to variable returns from its investment in the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its

power over the entity. Specifically, the Group controls an entity if, and only if, the Group has:

– Power over the entity (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

– Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and

– The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent, using consistent

accounting policies. The effects of intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial

statements.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be

consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is

accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting as noted on the following pages.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

21

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether

equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares

issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business

combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of the exchange, unless, in

rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable measure

of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly within equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value

less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business

combination are measured initially at their fair values as at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-

controlling interests. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share

of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the Group’s

share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the

statement of financial performance, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net

assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to

the present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being

the rate at which similar borrowings could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and

conditions.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)

The statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity

and statement of cash flows have been prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the

statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include

GST invoiced.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

a) Functional and Presentation Currency

The presentation currency of the Group is the New Zealand Dollar. Each subsidiary company in the Group determines

its own functional currency and uses that functional currency for its individual financial statements. Subsidiary

companies with a different functional currency than that of the Group are translated through converting all reported

assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet, while income and expenses are translated

at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Any resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate

component of equity.

b) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates

ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the

rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short-term

deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash

and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Bank overdrafts are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of

financial position.

NET DEBT

Net debt is the sum of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other accounting policies that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout

the notes to the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates the judgements, estimates and

assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an

impact upon the Group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based upon

the most current set of circumstances available to management. The actual results may differ from the judgements,

estimates and assumptions used. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in

the preparation of these financial statements are disclosed within the specific financial statement notes as shown

below:

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exception of

growing costs as detailed below.

Growing Costs

An adjustment has been made to restate the 2020 comparatives to align the accounting treatment for growing costs.

Previously a distinction was made between where the Group maintains beneficial ownership in bearer plants and

where the Group is not the beneficial owner of bearer plants. All vineyard costs that are incurred subsequent to

harvest up to balance sheet date are now treated consistently and are carried forward in the Statement of Financial

Position and included in the subsequent year’s fair value adjustment at point of harvest.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, but are not yet effective, have not been

adopted by the Group for the annual report period ending 30 June 2021.

The Group is in the process of assessing the accounting for upfront configuration and customisation costs incurred

in system implementations, and the on-going costs of Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangements, in response to

the agenda decisions published by the IFRIC clarifying its interpretation of how current accounting standards apply

to these types of arrangements.

As at 30 June 2021, a carrying amount of $1.2 million has been recognised as property, plant and equipment in respect

of configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements. Due to the complexity of

historical SaaS projects, the Group is still in the process of obtaining the required information to analyse the impact

of the Group’s change in accounting policy in respect of these SaaS arrangements. The Group expects it is likely

that the analysis will be completed over the coming months and the restatement, following the change in accounting

policy, will be presented in the Interim report for the half-year period ending 31 December 2021.

There are other standards, amendments and interpretations which have been approved by the External Reporting

Board (XRB) but are not yet effective. The Group expects to adopt these other standards when they become

mandatory. None are expected to materially impact the Group’s financial statements although may result in

disclosure changes.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202124

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
COVID-19

The effects of Covid-19 continue to have an impact on the financial performance on Delegat’s business, primarily

associated with the global supply chain disruption and getting inventory to customers. Lockdowns, and social

distancing requirements have limited field sales activities and significantly reduced sales in on-premise channels. In

FY21 these negative impacts were partially offset by certain in-market operating expenses that were not able to be

incurred.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, and trade

payables and accruals. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise funding for the Group’s ongoing

operations. The Group also has financial assets such as trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents,

which arise directly from its operations.

The Group is counterparty to derivative financial instruments, principally being foreign currency forward exchange

contracts and options, and interest rate swaps. The purpose of entering into foreign currency forward exchange

contracts and options is to manage currency risk primarily arising from foreign denominated trade receivables.

Interest rate swaps are entered into with the aim of mitigating interest rate risk to movements on floating rate debt

facilities.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk

and liquidity risk. Each of the main operational risks are reviewed by the Treasury Management Committee (TMC)

and their recommendations are provided to the Board of Directors. The composition of the TMC includes the Chief

Financial Officer, Group Financial Controller, Group Financial Planning Manager and Independent Treasury Advisors.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Board approval is

required for any movement outside policy.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The net assets employed through subsidiary companies based overseas exposes the Group to foreign currency risk

as a result of changes in the GBP/NZD, AUD/NZD, USD/NZD, EUR/NZD, CAD/NZD, SGD/NZD, JPY/NZD, HKD/NZD

and CNY/NZD exchange rates. The Group also has foreign currency risk resulting from sales of product in a currency

which is other than that of the New Zealand Dollar. Profits from each export region are repatriated and reported in

New Zealand Dollars and the Group is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates.

To minimise foreign currency risk, the Group enters into forward exchange contracts and options for foreign

denominated sales at levels which are considered to be highly probable. The Group attempts to maintain foreign

currency cover of between 75% to 100% of highly probable sales in one to three months, 50% to 75% for highly

probable sales in four to six months, 25% to 50% for highly probable sales in seven to 12 months, 0% to 50% for sales

between 13 to 18 months and between 0% to 25% for sales thereafter. The Group has the option of increasing foreign

exchange cover to 100% for any time period upon approval by the Board of Directors.

When the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of being contractually committed to purchase capital

items from an overseas supplier and such expenditure is expected to exceed $200,000, the Group’s policy is to

ensure the foreign currency exposure is covered in full. Any capital expenditure below $200,000 is to be covered at

the discretion of the TMC, based on such factors as timing for payment and expected volatility of currency markets.

It is the Group’s policy that in no instance is trading for speculative purposes permitted.

At 30 June 2021, had the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) moved as illustrated in the following table with all other variables

NZD/EUR +5% (52) (52) (39) (39)

NZD/EUR -5% 58 58 43 43


The above table calculates the impact of a change in foreign exchange rates on closing equity and post-tax profits

of the Group, as a result of the Group being counterparty to transactions which are foreign currency denominated.

Foreign currency denominated balances include trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals, loans

and borrowings, cash on hand, and unsettled foreign exchange contracts that exist at balance sheet date. The net

foreign currency exposure is determined in aggregate and the impact on post-tax profits determined as a result of a

+/- 5% movement in foreign exchange rates. A +5% movement reflects the strengthening of the NZD relative to the

other currency, whereas a -5% movement reflects the weakening of the NZD relative to the other currency.

The impact upon the Group’s equity balance is derived through determining the impact on post-tax profits as noted

above.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202126

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the

hedging instrument is recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in

the foreign currency translation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the

statement of financial performance. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of any

such gains or losses accumulated within equity is transferred to the statement of financial performance.

The net assets employed in Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) exposes the Group to foreign currency risk as a

result of changes in the AUD/NZD exchange rate.

The foreign currency movement on translation of the net assets of BVE is included in the statement of other

comprehensive income. Since the acquisition of BVE the Group has maintained a portion of their external borrowings

in AUD to mitigate this risk. The foreign exchange movement on these external borrowings in the absence of hedge

accounting is included in the statement of financial performance.

External borrowings of A$29,350,000 have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in BVE. Gains or

losses on the retranslation of this borrowing are transferred to the statement of other comprehensive income to

offset any gains or losses on translation of the net assets of BVE. There is no hedge ineffectiveness in the year ended

30 June 2021.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term and

short-term debt obligations with interest payable based on floating rates of interest. Interest rate risk is monitored

by the TMC on an ongoing basis. The recommendation by the TMC to enter into fixed or variable rate debt facilities

and decisions to retire existing debt instruments is made after consideration of the economic indicators impacting

upon the overnight cash rate, which influences the rates of interest charged by financial institutions. All funding

facilities recommended by the TMC must be approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group manages interest rate risk through maintaining a mix of debt instruments having variable and fixed

interest rates. The Group’s policy is to maintain a level of fixed debt facilities between 40% to 100% of core debt for

a period of one year, between 30% to 80% of projected core debt for periods of one to three years, and between 0%

to 60% of projected core debt facilities for three to five years.

The Group also manages interest rate risk through being counterparty to a series of interest rate swaps. The Group

agrees to settle or has the option to exchange, at specified dates, the difference between fixed and variable rate

interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These are discussed in Note

9: Derivative Financial Instruments.

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables

held constant, on the Group’s post-tax profits and equity:

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

27

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The key assumptions which impact upon the values presented in the above table are the following:

– Cash and cash equivalents include deposits on call which are at floating interest rates. The estimated impact

upon interest revenues from these sources is based upon amounts held on deposit remaining at consistent

levels as reported at the balance sheet date. For foreign denominated deposits, the impact on foreign exchange

is based on the conversion rate existing at balance sheet date.

– Account balances that are trade receivables or trade payables are generally on 30 to 90 day terms and are non-

interest bearing and are not subject to interest rate risk.

– The impact upon the fair value of the interest rate swaps is based upon the differential in rates between the

Group paying a fixed rate of interest and receiving the floating New Zealand Bank Bill Rate (BKBM) multiplied by

the nominal amount under the swap agreement up until maturity.

– Interest payable on bank debt is based upon the BKBM/BBSY, plus a margin. The margin is dependent upon the

Group achieving certain financial covenants and the margin ranges from 1.02% to 1.50%. The analysis assumes

that the margin and principal are held constant at the same rate as at the balance sheet date with the sensitivity

calculating the effect on interest expense of movements in the BKBM/BBSY rate. The analysis excludes any

future interest that would be capitalised as part of long-term assets.

– Included in the above table is the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, which results from changes in the

floating interest rate.

CREDIT RISK

The Group trades with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who

wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on

an ongoing basis. The maximum exposure to the carrying amount of receivable balances is disclosed in Note 11. The

Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that an unforeseen event or miscalculation in the required liquidity level may lead to the

Group being unable to meet its day to day funding obligations. To minimise liquidity risk, the Group’s policy is to

maintain committed funding facilities at a minimum of 105% of the projected peak debt level over the next 12 months

(excluding the cash requirements for any business combinations).

A General Security Agreement exists in favour of Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation,

Bank of New Zealand Limited, China Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited, and Hongkong and Shanghai

Banking Corporation Limited to secure amounts loaned to the Group. The General Security Agreement covers the

existing and future assets of Delegat Group Limited, Delegat Limited, Delegat Australia Pty Limited, and Barossa

Valley Estate Pty Limited. The amount of the guarantee in respect of the banking facilities is not included in the

above table and is the lower value of the net assets of the Group and the aggregate of the loans advanced at balance

The table below presents all contractual payments which the Group is legally obliged to make and includes all future

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments is presented in the previous table. For financial instruments measured at

fair value, further disclosure is required that allocates the fair values into a measurement hierarchy. The following

principles have been applied in classifying these instruments:

Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);

Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market

data.

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised

below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The fair value of financial instruments held at balance date that are not traded on an active market include foreign

currency forward exchange contracts and options, and net settled interest rate swap contracts. The fair values are

derived through valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and

rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs come from observable market data the

instrument is included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

FINANCIAL RISK ASSOCIATED TO BEARER PLANTS

The Group is exposed to financial risks in respect of agricultural activities. The agricultural activities of the Group

consist of the management of vineyards to produce grapes for use in the production of wine. The primary risk

borne by the Group is caused by the length of time between when cash is expended on the purchase or planting

and maintenance of grape vines and on harvesting grapes and the ultimate realisation of proceeds from the sale

of finished product (wine). The Group takes reasonable measures to ensure that the current year’s harvest is not

affected by disease, drought, frost, or other factors that may have a negative effect upon yield and quality. These

measures include consultation with experts in viticulture, frost protection measures, and ensuring that each vineyard

is managed according to a specifically developed Vineyard Management Calendar.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to

maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders of the business. The ultimate aim is to

maintain a capital structure which provides flexibility to enable future growth of the Group while ensuring the lowest

cost of capital is available to the Group.

Management reviews the capital structure of the Group as a result of changes in market conditions which impact

upon interest and foreign exchange rates and may adjust the capital structure to take advantage of these changes.

Management has no current plans to issue further shares on the market but is intent on growing the business which

will require future funding.

The Group is subject to a series of bank covenants over its Senior Debt facilities. These are discussed in Note 10.

3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

An operating segment is a reportable segment if the segment engages in business activities in which it

may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s

Chief Operating Decision Maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which

their customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment

performance and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating

Segments this forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is in the format adopted below:

– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure

which allows the company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into

the Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary

companies based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and

Pacific Island markets.

– Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and assist in the

marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions and the

Group considers there is no significant variations in revenues throughout the year.

The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis

in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource

allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss,

which may be measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment

reporting is based upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax

balances being recognised upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also inter-company

stock margin eliminations are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Satisfaction

of a performance obligation occurs when the Group has transferred a promised good to the customer

and when the customer obtains control of that good. The following specific recognition criteria have been

applied to each individual classification of revenue:

i) Sale of Goods

The primary source of revenue earned by the Group is through providing wine to third party retailers

and distributors. Revenue is recognised when control of the wine has passed to the buyer and the costs

incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Control is considered

passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of goods to the customer.

ii) Interest Revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of

calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant

period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash

receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202132

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
REVENUE

Sales are often made with volume discounts, other rebates and various other payments to customers for

promotional support. For volume discounts and other rebates not invoiced at the reporting date, these

are estimated based on agreements with customers and estimated depletions during the period. Other

payments to customers for promotional support include listing fees, mailer fees and other incentives. For

expenses that have not been invoiced at the reporting date, these are estimated based on agreements

with customers and estimated achievement of various targets by the customer. At 30 June 2021 the

Group has recognised accruals for all of these expenses of $18.1 million (2020: $22.4 million). The majority

of these amounts will be settled within the six months following balance date.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary

shareholders of the Parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and

preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary

shareholders of the Parent adjusted for:

– costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

– the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that

have been recognised as expenses;

– other non-discretionary changes in revenues and expenses during the period that would result from

the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Dividends that were declared and paid on ordinary shares during the year amounted to $17,217,000 (2020: $17,215,000)

equating to 17.0 cents per share (2020: 17.0 cents per share).

b) Unrecognised Amounts

After the balance sheet date, dividends of 20.0 cents per share were approved by the Board of Directors. These

amounts are not recognised in these financial statements as the declaration date was subsequent to year-end.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
8. TRADE PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and then carried at amortised cost, and due to their

short-term nature, they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided

to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes

obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

Provisions and accruals are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past

event and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions and accruals are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the

expenditure required to settle the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect

of the time value of money is material, provisions and accruals are discounted using a pre-tax rate that

reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision or

accruals resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulated sick

leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, are recognised in respect of the

employee’s services up to the reporting date. They are measured as the amounts expected to be paid

when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave

is taken and is measured at the rates paid or payable.

The Group makes regular contributions to various defined contribution pension plans. Included within

the statement of financial performance are amounts paid and payable by the Group into these pension

plans, net of any related tax rebates. The Group does not make available or make contributions to any

defined benefit superannuation plans.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to

economically hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate swaps to

manage interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on

the date on which a derivative contract is entered into, and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at

balance date. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly

to the statement of financial performance. The fair value of forward exchange contracts and options is

determined by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by reference to market inputs for similar instruments.

The Group has the following derivative financial instruments outstanding at the balance sheet date:

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments requires that derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value

through profit or loss for measurement purposes unless they are accounted for as hedges. Under NZ

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements, assets and liabilities under the fair value through profit or

loss classification would generally be classified as current in the statement of financial position if held for

trading. However, if the intent is not to actually trade the derivative financial instruments with maturities

greater than one year but to hold them until maturity, then the derivative financial instruments are

more appropriately classified as non-current. The amounts that are classified as non-current reflect the

amounts that will not be settled in the next 12 months.

The classification of forward exchange contracts and forward currency options between current and non-current

is based on whether the contracts will be settled in the next 12 months. The fair value of open contracts existing at

balance sheet date are classified as follows:

b) Interest Rate Swaps

In order to protect against risks relating to increases in interest rates, the Group has entered into interest rate swap

contracts under which the Group receives interest at variable rates and has agreed to pay interest at fixed rates for

varying terms of principal and time durations.

At balance sheet date interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total of $100,000,000 (2020: $97,500,000)

of current New Zealand Dollar denominated Group debt through 11 separate cap rate agreements, which range

in maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 3.61% plus bank margin (2020:

3.75% plus bank margin). In addition, interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total of A$37,500,000 (2020:

A$37,500,000) of current Australian Dollar denominated Group debt through eight separate cap rate agreements,

which range in maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 2.66% plus bank margin

(2020: 2.66% plus bank margin).

At balance sheet date the Group has one further separate cap rate agreement that covers NZ$25,000,000 (2020:

NZ$45,000,000) which applies at a future date to cover future Group indebtedness. Maturity is five years, with

an interest rate cap of 0.95% plus bank margin (2020: 0.95% and 3.1% plus bank margin). A further two cap rate

agreements are in place that cover a total of A$10,000,000 (2020: A$10,000,000) which apply from various future

dates, ranging in maturity from four to five years, with an interest rate cap of 0.8% plus bank margin (2020: 0.8% plus

bank margin). The application date of these New Zealand Dollar and Australian Dollar denominated future cap rate

agreements range between December 2021 and March 2023.

The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is a liability of $4,086,000 (2020: $10,549,000 liability).

The Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments and

accordingly the instruments have been classified as fair value through profit and loss.

The classification between current and non-current is based on whether the contracts or portion of contracts will be

settled within the next 12 months. The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is classified as follows:

10. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS

a) Debt Facilities Existing at Balance Sheet Date

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration

received, less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and

borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees

paid on the establishment of loan facilities are included as part of the carrying amount of the interest-

bearing loans and borrowings. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities,

unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after

balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except when they are directly attributable to the acquisition

or construction of a qualifying asset. When this is the case, they are capitalised as part of that asset.

Once the asset is put into productive use, capitalisation of the borrowing costs ceases.

At the balance sheet date the following debt facilities have been drawn upon by the Group:

b) Terms and Conditions of Debt Facilities

i) Senior Debt Facilities

The Group has a syndicated Senior Debt facilities agreement with Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking

Corporation, Bank of New Zealand Limited (BNZ), China Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited (CCB) and

Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC). With the syndicated facility a General Security

Agreement has been put in place in favour of the banks over the existing and future assets of Delegat Group Limited,

Delegat Limited, Delegat Australia Pty Limited and Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited.

At balance sheet date the Working Capital facility, Term facility (Multi-Currency), Term facility (AUD), and Headroom

facility collectively make up the syndicated Senior Debt Facilities of Delegat, which provide funding for the assets

of the Group. The maximum limit of the Working Capital facility is NZ$48,000,000 (2020: NZ$48,000,000), Term

facility (Multi-Currency) is NZ$220,000,000 (2020: NZ$220,000,000), Term facility (AUD) is A$40,000,000 (2020:

A$40,000,000), and the Headroom facility is NZ$20,000,000 (2020: NZ$20,000,000). At balance sheet date

NZ$72,592,000 (2020: NZ$75,828,000) is available for further drawdown on these facilities.

The Term facility (AUD) and a portion of the Term facility (Multi-Currency) are denominated in Australian Dollars (A$).

The amount drawn down in foreign currency at the balance sheet date was A$61,850,000 (2020: A$61,850,000).

Interest on these facilities is based on the BKBM/BBSY plus margin. The facility agreement requires that certain

banking covenants be met and requires the Group to maintain or a better specified EBITDA and fixed charges

coverage ratios, and maintain or better a minimum adjusted equity balance. The Group must also maintain or better

a specified total tangible asset backing. At year-end, and at measurement dates during the year, the covenants of the

Senior Debt Facilities have been met.

ii) Other Facilities

Delegat also has available an overdraft limit of $1,000,000 (2020: $1,000,000). Interest charged on this facility is at

the commercial lending rate (2020: commercial lending rate). At 30 June 2021 the commercial lending rate is 4.75%

(2020: commercial lending rate 4.75%). No amount is drawn against this facility at balance sheet date.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

On initial recognition, the Group’s trade receivables are recognised at their transaction price as defined

in NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group’s trade receivable balances are

generally short term and do not contain a significant financing component. They are subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for expected future

credit losses.

The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime

expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and sundry receivables if financial assets. Expected

credit losses are measured by grouping trade receivables based on shared credit risk characteristics

and the days past due. A provision matrix is then determined based on the historical credit loss rates for

each group of customers, adjusted for any material expected changes to the future risk for that customer

group.

Individual trade receivable balances which are known to be uncollectible are written off where the Group

has no reasonable expectation of recovering the trade receivable balance.

Total trade receivables 2,757 9,696 13,772 6,882 4,556 3 7, 6 6 3

All amounts recognised as trade receivables are unsecured and the maximum credit risk is equivalent to the carrying

values noted directly above. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally settled on 30 to 90 day terms.

Due to their short-term nature trade receivables are not discounted.

In determining the historical loss rates to be applied to these customer groups and ageing buckets, the Group has

reviewed whether there were any bad debts written off over the past five years and has identified that these were $nil

(2020: $nil). Accordingly the historical loss rates applied to each customer group at 30 June 2021 are 0% (2020: 0%).

Due to the short term nature of the Group’s trade receivables, the nature of the Group’s customer base, the Group’s

experience over the past five years and other forward looking information, the historical loss rates have not been

adjusted for any material expected future changes in credit risk.

12. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated

selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated

costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of finished goods sold are assigned on a weighted average cost

basis.

GRAPES

Included within the cost of inventory is the fair value of the grapes (agricultural produce) at the time the

grapes are harvested. At the point of harvest, the harvest of grapes qualify as agricultural produce under

NZ IAS 41: Agriculture and are recorded at fair value at that date. The fair value becomes the basis of cost

when accounting for inventories.

Harvesting of the grape crop is ordinarily performed in late March or early April. Costs incurred in growing

the grapes, including any applicable harvest costs, are initially allocated into the cost of inventory as

part of the total costs to acquire and grow the agricultural produce. At the point of harvest, a fair value

adjustment is made so that the cost per tonne is adjusted to fair value in accordance with NZ IAS 41:

Agriculture and NZ IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. Any difference between cost and fair value is

included within the statement of financial performance as cost of sales.

The fair value of grapes at the point of harvest is determined by reference to the market prices for each

variety of grape grown in the local area and the market price paid to independent grape growers. Any

difference between cost and fair value is included within the statement of financial performance as cost

of sales.

14. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for

capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. The cost of purchased property, plant and

equipment is the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly

attributable costs that have been incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary

for their intended service.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, direct

labour on the project, lease costs and financing costs that are directly attributable to the project and an

appropriate proportion of directly attributable variable and fixed overheads. Costs cease to be capitalised

when the asset is ready for productive use. In respect of vineyard improvements, capitalisation of costs

continues until the vineyards are ready for productive use, which is when the vineyard has produced

approximately 60% of expected yield at full production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting

of vines.

Land and Land Improvement assets are measured at cost and are not subject to depreciation.

IMPAIRMENT

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is

determined, being the higher of an asset’s fair value, less costs to sell, and value in use. An impairment

charge is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable

amount. For the purposes of assessing impairment, the recoverable amount is determined at the lowest

level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
DEPRECIATION

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land and land improvements, which has an

indefinite economic life and hence not depreciated, is charged on a straight-line basis so as to write off

the assets to their expected residual value over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives

are as follows:

B

uildings 10–50 years

Plant and Equipment 3–50 years

Vineyard Improvements 3–50 years

Bearer Plants 50 years

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms.

The condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining

useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

Depreciation on vineyard improvements commences when the vineyard is considered to be in

commercial production, which is when the vineyard has produced approximately 60% of the expected

yield at full production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting of vines. The assets’ residual

values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of

each financial year.

Capitalised assets on leased vineyards or office premises are depreciated over the shorter of the

estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining lease term.

IMPAIRMENT

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific

to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists,

the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Management considers there are no indicators of

impairment in the current year and the recoverable amount of the Group’s assets was not required to be

determined.

b) Other Items

During the year, no assets were transferred and classified as assets available for sale. The weighted average interest

rate on interest capitalised during the year was 4.36% (2020: 4.68%).

Bearer plants consist of grapevines on company owned vineyards located in New Zealand and the Barossa Valley,

Australia. At 30 June 2021 the Group has grapevines planted on 1,797 productive hectares of land (2020: 1,528

productive hectares) in New Zealand and 183 productive hectares (2020: 183 productive hectares) in Australia.

The net book value of vines on leased land where the Group does not have the beneficial ownership in the bearer

plants is not reported above, as the risks and rewards incidental to owning the vines do not transfer to the Group.

The Group is, however, party to leases of land on which bearer plants is owned by the Group (refer note 16). The net

book value of these assets is reported, as the risk and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the Group.

15. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of the

intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and

accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite

lives are amortised over their useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that

the intangible asset may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised,

but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. The

assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be

supportable; if not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets currently owned by the Group have been assessed as having indefinite useful lives

and are therefore tested annually for impairment at the CGU level. The recoverable amount of the

CGU’s assets are higher than the assets’ carrying value and therefore no impairment is required to be

recognised.

Intangible assets currently owned by the Group consist of water rights in both New Zealand and Australia.

Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) owns water rights consisting of shares in Barossa Infrastructure Limited

and associated infrastructure levies. These water rights grant BVE the right to a fixed number of units of water per

share and were purchased by BVE to support their vineyard activities. BVE continues to have the right to use the

water over an indefinite period and therefore the water rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life.

Delegat Limited (Delegat) owns water rights consisting of shares in Lower Waihopai Dam Limited. These water

rights grant Delegat the right to a fixed number of units of water per share and were purchased by Delegat to support

their vineyard activities. Delegat continues to have the right to use the water over an indefinite period and therefore

the water rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life.

16. LEASES

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is,

or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of

time in exchange for consideration.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for leases of

low-value assets. The Group applies the low-value assets recognition exemption for its barrel leases.

Payments on the Group’s barrel leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease terms. The

Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to

use the underlying assets.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets

are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any

remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities

recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date,

less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the

shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of right-of-

use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

LEASE LIABILITY

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present

value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments,

the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable; if the implicit interest rate is

not readily determinable the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest

and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured

if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease payments.

Right-of-use asset depreciation and lease liability interest that are directly attributable to bringing new

vineyards to working condition for their intended use are capitalised up until the time the vineyards become

commercially productive. The accumulated amount is then amortised over the remaining lease term.

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods

covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. When the Group has the

option to extend a lease, management uses its judgement to determine whether or not an option would be

reasonably certain to be exercised. Management considers all facts and circumstances, including its past

practice and any cost that will be incurred to change the asset if an option to extend is not taken, to help

determine the lease term. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a

significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not

to exercise the option to renew.

To determine the value of the lease liability, the future lease payments are discounted using the interest

rate implicit in the lease, otherwise the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Implicit interest rates

are present in most of the Group’s vineyard leases. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate that

the Group 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. The Group is required to revise the discount rate

used if there is a change in the lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying

asset, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those

payments, or where there is a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease.

17. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured as the amount expected

to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income.

The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively

enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided for all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the

tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred

income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax

credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against

which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax

losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance

sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be

available to allow all, or part of, the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to

the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the

statement of financial performance.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax

assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable

entity and the same taxation authority.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202160

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Delegat Group Limited

OpinionWe have audited the consolidatedfinancial statementsof Delegat Group Limited

(the ‘Company’)and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated

statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, and the consolidated statement

of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of

changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes

to theconsolidatedfinancial statements, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 12

to 59, present fairly, in all material respects, theconsolidatedfinancial position of

the Group as at 30 June 2021, and itsconsolidatedfinancial performance and cash

flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’)and International Financial

Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing

(‘ISAs’) and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our

responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s

Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Consolidated Financial Statements section of

our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate

to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical

Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including

International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)issued by the New Zealand

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards

Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants

(including International Independence Standards), and we have fulfilled our other

ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other than in our capacity as auditor and the provision of taxation advice, we have

no relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These

services have not impaired our independence as auditor of theCompany and

Group.

Audit materialityWe consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the

financial statements of the Groupthat in our judgement would make it probable

that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be

changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess

whether other matters that come to our attention during the audit would in our

judgement change or influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’

materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in

evaluating the results of our work.

Key audit mattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of

most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the

current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,

and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition –Rebates & Promotional

Allowances Accruals

Revenue is recognised net of volume discounts, other

rebates and various other payments to customers for

promotional support. Volume discounts and rebates

not invoiced at reporting date are estimated based on

agreements with customers and estimated depletions

during the period.

As disclosed in note 3, the value of the rebates and

promotional allowances accruals at 30 June 2021 was

$18.1m(2020: $22.4m).

The value of rebates and promotional allowances

accruals as at 30 June 2021 is a key audit matter due

to the high levels of judgement involved in the

calculation of the accruals as management must

estimate the level of achievement of future targets by

customers in order to calculate the level of rebates

and promotional allowancesthat will be incurred.

In order to respond to the significant judgement in

estimating the rebates and promotional expenses

accruals we:

•held discussions with management to understand the

process and models for estimating the rebates and

promotional allowances accruals;

•evaluated the design and tested the operating

effectiveness of relevant controls over the rebates

andpromotionalallowances accruals and associated

revenue recognition;

•performed a look-back analysis comparing previous

rebates and promotional allowances accruals to the

actual cost incurred; and

•obtained management’s calculation of the 30 June

2021 rebates and promotional allowances accruals,

checked the calculation for mathematical accuracy

and agreed to supporting evidence on a sample basis.

Other informationThe directors are responsibleon behalf of the Groupfor the other information. The

other information comprises the information in the Annual Report that

accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the audit report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other

information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is

materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our

knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If

so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ responsibilities for

the consolidated financial

statements

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair

presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS

and IFRS, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to

enable thepreparation of consolidatedfinancial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on

behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s ability 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202162

Auditor’s responsibilities for

the audit of the consolidated

financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated

financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs and ISAs (NZ) 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 these

consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated

financial statements is located on the External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-

responsibilities/audit-report-1

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Restriction on useThis report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has

been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those

matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other

purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the Company’s shareholders as a body, for our

audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
