NZX Release

Savor 2024 Annual Results


22 May 2024

Savor Limited (NZX: SVR) (“Savor”, “the Company”, or with its subsidiaries “the Group”), New

Zealand’s premier hospitality group, presents its results for the financial year ended 31 March 2024.


Highlights:


• Savor’s operating earnings for FY24 were $8.8m, near the top end of the guidance range

provided to the market in March.


• Savor recorded a net profit after tax of $1.9m before one-off items, compared to a loss of

$0.9m in the prior year (reported net profit after tax was $0.7m compared to a loss of $2.3m in

the prior year).


• Operating cash flow continued to be strong, with the Group recording $7.8m compared to

$4.1m in the prior year (adjusted for timing differences).


• The Group finished FY24 with a ratio of debt to operating earnings of less than 1 times (2023:

2.17).


• The Group’s hard-fought delivery on efficiencies and costs controls improved net margin of

over 4% compared to the prior year. Savor’s 2024 net margin was 14.2% (10.0% in 2023).


The Group’s cost base has been rationalised even further with many of the venue level decision making

being driven out of head office which allowed for further margin expansion while holding prices static

for our customers for over a year now.


Delivering a positive net profit before tax also means that Savor is able to utilise the significant

historical tax losses accumulated, resulting in further cash flow benefits going forward.


The Group finished the year with a total leverage ratio of less than one to one, ensuring maximum

flexibility heading into the uncertain winter trading period, building resilience and contingency into the

Group’s funding structure. This has continued into the new financial year with the refinancing of the

Group’s banking arrangements with ANZ, allowing for better access to funds.


Commenting on the result, Savor’s CEO Lucien Law said:


“Savor is well positioned to continue its path of rationalisation and efficiency gains and we are looking

forward to seeing the full year impact of these changes continue to materialise through the coming

months.


The investment the Group continues to make into its supply chain and people reinforce the foundations

for trading, ensuring we're able to continue delivering the best offering for our customers at the most

affordable cost to the Group.”














*Operating earnings means reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and restructuring

costs, as reported in the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

Dear Shareholders,
With the turnaround strategy complete, we are pleased

to announce our first clean set of financial statements

since listing.

In the 2024 financial year the Group has recorded:

• Total annual revenue of $62m, an increase of over

18% from 2023 and 290% increase since 2019

(see page 12).

• Operating earnings of $8.8m (at the top end of the

guidance range announced to the NZX in March 2024)

are an over 500% improvement from 2019.

• Cash flow from operating activities exceeded $7.8m, an

increase of 91% compared to 2023 (adjusted for timing

differences) up $11m since 2019.

• Leverage ratio of less than 1 times. Reducing gearing

from 12 times in its peak in 2019.

Savor’s targeting of industry leading performance metrics

(see page 10) has culminated in a Group net margin

extraction of 14.2%.

We hope you agree that within

the context of New Zealand’s

macroeconomic conditions this is

a very pleasing result. It has been

hard fought and is a direct result of

a strong focus on cost control.

Delivering a positive net profit before tax also means

that Savor is able to utilise the significant historical

tax losses accumulated, resulting in further cash flow

benefits going forward.

In 2024 Savor also continued to strengthen its Balance

Sheet ensuring the Group is flexible to either face the

continued challenging economic environment or build cash

reserves to fund future growth.

We believe the Group is well positioned to capitalise on

this momentum and will focus on continuing to drive margin

improvement and profitability over the next 12 months as

we look to deliver long term value to our shareholders.

Financial Year 2024

Financially the Group has never performed better, with a

resilient customer base demonstrating a commitment to

quality, and average spend per head remaining broadly

consistent with previous years.

The return of large scale events to Auckland provided the

Group with the opportunity to partner with New Zealand

Fashion Week in August 2023. This provided a good

base model for these types of events and was replicated

in April 2024 in partnership with the Aotearoa Arts Fair.

The Group’s cost base has been rationalised even further

with the venue level decision making being driven out

of head office to prepare the Group as best as possible

for a potential downturn in trading. Labour remains the

most significant cost for the Group and following an

extensive redesign of how it is managed, all venues made

improvements to their profitability as a result.

The Group has leveraged its size and translated that

into purchasing power to provide benefits that have

not only helped maintain margin but ensured we have

held the cost to our customers static for over a year.

Standardising menus for both food and beverage and

working closer with a number of suppliers continues to

deliver benefits, while ensuring we retain sufficient choice

and selection, in the face of unexpected shortages.

Cost of goods and Group overheads were subject to

complete reviews during the year, with tender processes

undertaken on the most significant costs. The benefits

of our internal depot and distribution network have been

key for this, with red meat, poultry, wine, and dairy being

centralised leading to significant cost savings.

Letter to Shareholders - From Chair & CEO

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

The investment the Group continues to
make into its supply chain and people,

provide an increased level of flexibility

as well as reinforcing the foundations

for trading and ensuring we're able to

continue delivering the best offering for

our customers at the most affordable cost

to the Group.

As we look to the year ahead, we thank

you again for your investment and

support. We are encouraged by the result

for 2024 and look forward to meeting you

in person at our AGM in August.

Growth

There continues to be a number of

expansion opportunities presented to the

Board, both from landlords and vendors

of other hospitality venues. The Directors

have adopted a cautious approach to

these, as we are well aware of the value

our brands bring and the opportunity

costs associated with expansion. It’s

important that we’re able to partner with

landlords who appreciate this and are

able to structure any potential deal that

recognises the value that we bring.

We continue to look for organic and

inorganic expansion but are committed

to getting the best deal possible.

Outlook

The Group finished the year with a

total leverage ratio of less than one

to one, ensuring maximum flexibility

heading into the largely uncertain winter

trading period, building resilience and

contingency into the Group’s funding

structure. This has continued into the

new financial year with the refinancing

of the Group’s banking arrangements

completed in early April, allowing for

better access to funds.

While the trading outlook remains

uncertain due to changing market

conditions, Savor is well positioned to

continue its path of rationalisation and

efficiency gains, and we are looking

forward to seeing the full year impact of

these changes continue to materialise

through the coming months.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Performance Management

With inflationary pressure still driving the cost of goods and even the most resilient

consumer feeling pricing fatigue, in order to protect margin without pricing

increases, Savor management centralised much of the venue level decision making

and micro-managed the following 4 key areas of performance.

Utilities & Overheads

Overheads consist of both fixed and variable

components. Effective management involves

balancing the right mix and frequency of

these elements.

• Group-wide contracts for utility and

amenity services.

• Competitive tender processes for multi-

year agreements.

• Discretionary spending requires approval.

• Minimal maintenance spend for effective

overhead control.

3

Labour

Labour not only constitutes the most

substantial financial risk but also offers the

most potential for efficiencies and cost savings.

• Management set weekly wage targets for each

venue, which are agreed and signed off by

venue management.

• Wage costs are tracked on a daily basis to

ensure they are within the approved roster.

• Risk vs. return decisions ahead of weekend

trading are discussed with venue management

at mid week meetings.

1

Procurement &

Distribution

Rigorous procurement processes guarantee that

efficiencies commence at the source, with optimal

pricing ensuring the delivery of the highest quality.

• Negotiated pricing based on volumes and

seasonality for Group-wide reach.

• Centralised stock holding standardises quality

control and reduces venue-level wastage risk.

• Significant back-office benefits through

streamlined invoicing and payments administration.

4

Cost of Goods Sold

The variability of the Cost of Goods Sold is

attributed to the seasonal availability of products

and the ever-changing pricing dynamics

• Consistent Group-wide supply for high-

quality products.

• Seasonal menu planning to optimize available

produce and offer reasonably priced items.

• Financial KPIs guide pricing decisions from

the outset.

• Food and beverage stocktakes are

undertaken on a regular basis.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Performance Management

This approach has helped Savor to target industry leading performance metrics:

→ Net margin at a venue level of between 22% - 25% of revenue

→ Front of house labour costs of less than 16% of revenue

→ Kitchen labour costs of less than 28% of food revenue

→ Cost of goods sold of less than 30% of revenue

→ Group overhead costs of less than 4% of Group revenue

Savor continue to drive margin improvement and profitability by capitalising on

the momentum these hard earned gains have delivered, which continues to be

sustainable into the new year.

Savor’s Continued
Performance Transformation

Savor's Executive team are delighted to draw to an end to the turnaround of the Group and can now focus

on the pursue of growth or further strengthening of the balance sheet from cash flow to deliver greater

value to our shareholders over the long term.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Corporate Governance
The overall responsibility for ensuring that the corporate

governance and accountability of the Company is properly

managed, thereby enhancing investor confidence, lies

with the Board of Directors. A copy of Savor’s Corporate

Governance Code (“Code”), current as at 31 March 2024, is

available on the Savor website at www.savor.co.nz.

The Code is generally consistent with the principles

identified in the NZX Corporate Governance Code (version

dated 1 April 2023). Savor followed the recommendations in

the NZX Corporate Governance Code throughout the year

and as at 1 April 2023, except that:

• the Company did not have a majority of independent

Directors (per recommendation 2.8);

• the Company does not have an Audit and Risk Committee

comprising solely of Non-Executive Directors (per

recommendation 3.1); and

• the Company raised additional equity capital by issuing

shares to investors via a private placement in October

2023, without first offering shares to existing shareholders

on a pro rata basis (per recommendation 8.4). However,

shareholders had the opportunity to participate in a pro-

rata rights issue conducted in February 2023.

These departures from the NZX Corporate Governance

Code are primarily due to the size and composition of the

Board. The Board considers that to increase the number of

Directors on the Board to comply with the Code would bring

undue cost to the Group, given the skills and experience

of the current Directors are complementary to one another

and specific to the needs to the Company. The Board seeks

external expert advice on a range of legal, financial and

commercial matters where specialist assistance is required.

The Company will continue to monitor best practice in

the governance area and update its policies to ensure it

maintains the most appropriate standards.

An outline of the Company’s governance arrangements are

set out below. Further detail is available on the Company’s

website www.savor.co.nz.

The Board of Directors

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategic

direction of Savor and supervising Savor’s management for

the benefit of shareholders.

The specific responsibilities of the Board include:

• Working with management to review and approve the

business and financial plans that set the strategic

direction of Savor

• Monitor the Company’s performance against its approved

strategic, business and financial plans and oversee the

Company’s operating results on a regular basis so as to

evaluate whether the business is being properly managed

• Establishing and overseeing succession plans for the

Chief Executive Officer and senior management

• Monitoring compliance and risk management

• Establishing and monitoring Savor’s health and safety

policies

• Ensuring effective disclosure policies and procedures are

adopted

• Ensuring effective reporting processes and procedures

• Ensuring the quality and independence of the Company’s

external audit process

The Board has agreed that the performance of the Board,

its Committees, and Directors will be independently

evaluated at least once every three years. The first of these

is expected to take place during the financial year ending

31 March 2025.

Board Meeting and Committee Attendance

During the year to 31 March 2024 the Company held 13 Board

meetings. The Audit & Risk Committee met on three occasions.

Attendance by individual Directors was as follows:

Corporate Governance

Ethical Conduct
The Code includes a code of ethics which is designed

to govern the conduct of Directors, senior managers and

other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The

Company’s directors and managers are expected to lead

conduct and to ensure that they are communicated to

the people who report to them. The Code addresses,

amongst other matters, conflicts of interest, receipt of gifts,

confidentiality and fair business practices.

Board Membership

As at 31 March 2024, the Board consisted of two

Independent Directors and two Executive Directors, who are

elected based on the value they bring to the Board.

Each Savor Director is a skilled and experienced business

and developing people through the talent management

programme. Louise has a passion for the not for profit

various organisations throughout her career. Louise brings

a critical skillset to Savor, where the success of the Group

is driven by its teams in the venues.

Bhupen Master - Independent Director

Bhupen Master was appointed to the Board in August

2023 and elected by shareholders in September 2023.

Bhupen is currently Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee.

numerous capital raisings during his time. Prior to this,

Bhupen spent over 20 years working in New Zealand,

Lynch and Deustche Bank. Bhupen’s extensive experience

in the capital markets and strategic transactions

strengthens the Board’s diverse skills and experience, and

are essential to assist in guiding the Group as it continues

on its growth trajectory.

The number of elected Directors and the procedure for

their retirement and re-election at annual meetings of

shareholders is set out in the Constitution of the Company.

Director Independence

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation

Savor Limited (‘the Parent’ or ‘Company’) and its

subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) operate in the

hospitality sector, operating a number of premium

restaurants and bars. The address of its registered office is

Level 4, Seafarers Building, 114 Quay Street, Auckland, 1142.

Savor Limited is a company domiciled in New Zealand,

registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 reporting entity.

These 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 Group is a for-profit entity.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group

comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). They also comply

with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand

dollars and are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

The financial statements have been prepared under the

historical cost basis.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all 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 over the entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on

which control is transferred to the Group. The financial

statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated

financial statements from the date that control

commences until the date control ceases. From that date

they are deconsolidated.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for

business combinations. The consideration transferred for

the acquisition of the subsidiary is the fair values of the

assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former

owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by

the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair

value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent

consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired

and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a

business combination are measured initially at their fair

values at the acquisition date. The difference between

the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets

acquired is recognised as goodwill. Acquisition costs are

expensed as incurred.

Revenue recognition

The Group derives venue revenue through the sale of food

and beverages and by hosting events. This revenue is

recognised at a point in time, being the point of sale. For

significant events, the Group receives deposits in advance

to secure the booking. These deposits are deferred on

the balance sheet as a liability and are recognised as

revenue at a point in time, being the date of the event. The

Group has determined that there is a single performance

obligation for these transactions even though part-payment

may be received in advance.

Changes in accounting policy

These financial statements are prepared using the same

accounting policies as the prior year. Several other

amendments and interpretations apply for the first time from

1 April 2023, but do not have an impact on the consolidated

financial statements of the Group.

The Group continues to improve the disclosures in these

financial statements where required. Some comparative

balances have been adjusted or reclassified for consistency.

2. Key estimates and judgements

The Group has undertaken a number of key estimates and

judgements when preparing these financial statements,

the details of which are outlined in this note. These

judgements have been formed using historical information

and comparatives where available, and management's best

judgement where there is no appropriate comparison. The

Group continues to review all significant estimates along

with the assumptions used and recognises any adjustments

to these in the period in which a change occurs.

2.1. Intangible asset impairment

Goodwill across the Group is tested annually for impairment.

Each cash generating unit (CGU) that carries goodwill

is valued on a value-in-use basis using a discounted

cash flow model, as a fair value less costs to sell basis is

considered to result in a lower valuation. Management has

used its past experience of sales growth, operating costs

and margin, and external sources of information where

appropriate, to determine their expectations for the future.

These cash flow projections over five years are principally

based on the Group's budget, which is risk adjusted where

appropriate. Cash flows beyond five years have been

extrapolated using estimated terminal growth rates, which

do not exceed the long-term average growth rate. The

terminal growth rate used was 3% (2023: 3%) and the

Group employed a weighted average cost of capital of

12.6% (2023: 12.6%).

It is inherently difficult to forecast future performance of the

Group's operations in the post-COVID landscape. The Group

has prepared a budget and forecasts based on current

expectations, however there remains risk which is primarily

dependent on general market conditions. Venue performance

has demonstrated improvements in margins and operatings

earnings recently, which are budgeted to be maintained or

continue to improve throughout the forecast period.

Notes to the Financial Statements

26

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

Impairment recognised
The current lease for the Seafarers Building in Britomart

expires in November 2025. The Group does not currently

have a right of renewal for the premises and discussions

with the landlord have not yet reached a level where

the Group can be certain of the outcome. Therefore, the

impairment assessment for the Seafarers CGU and the

related goodwill balances have considered a range of

possible scenarios from an exit at the end of the current

lease through to a full extension for a similar 10 year term.

After weighting the probability of each possible outcome,

the resulting recoverable amount is not sufficient to support

the existing carrying value of the CGU at balance date.

Accordingly, Savor has recognised an impairment expense

in these financial statements of $4.3m which has reduced

the associated goodwill balance to nil. The remaining

recoverable value of the CGU is $2.1m.

For all other CGU's a reasonably possible change in the

assumptions used in the impairment testing would not

lead to an impairment charge.

2.2. Restructuring and other costs

Acquisition costs(196)7

Restructuring costs(159)(100)

Loss on disposal of fixed assets(2)(10)

Venue development expenses(203)(583)

Other costs(310)(255)

Recruitment costs - (454)

(870)(1,395)

Restructuring and other costs occur outside the normal

course of operating the venues on a day to day basis, and

are unrelated to the Group's trading operations. These

have been separated out on the face of the Statement

of Comprehensive Income to allow the reader of these

financial statements to understand the day to day

operations for the year without the impact of these items.

These items typically include the impairment or disposal

of assets, disposal of assets, variable rent costs under

NZ IFRS 16, costs related to restructuring or M&A activity,

venue development or other costs that are unrelated to the

Group's day to day trading operations.

2.3. Going concern

During the year the Group raised additional capital of

$0.8m in October 2023 and successfully renegotiated

its banking facilities to ANZ. The nature of the Group's

operations means that the Group holds minimal receivables

and inventory balances compared to its current liabilities.

Therefore, the Group has negative working capital at

31 March 2024.

At 31 March 2024, the Group had committed funds with

ANZ for borrowings of $10m and overdraft facilities of

$3m which were drawn down after year end. Accordingly,

the Group has recognised the full balance of the Kiwibank

borrowings as a current liability on the face of the Balance

Sheet. The refinancing was completed on 2 April 2024 and

Kiwibank were repaid in full.

As a result of the considerations above the Directors have

concluded that the preparation of the financial statements

on a going concern basis remains appropriate.

2.4. Recognition of tax losses

At 31 March 2023, the Group had unrecognised tax losses

of over $9m available for use against future tax liabilities.

The significant improvement in financial performance in

recent years, including the tax expense for the current

financial year, has led the Group to consider whether

recognition of a portion of these historical tax losses is

appropriate. Management have reviewed the forecast

financial performance for the next five years in which the

Group is expected to continue along its current trajectory

into sustained profitability.

While the forecast performance of the Group is inherently

uncertain, management has applied consistent assumptions

to the forecasts used for the annual impairment assessment,

including assessing sensitivities where appropriate.

Accordingly, the Directors have sufficient evidence to support

the recognition of a portion of the losses, totalling $4.0m on

the Balance Sheet at 31 March 2024.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent

with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating

decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who

is responsible for allocating resources and assessing

performance of the operating segments, has been

identified as the Board of Directors. Segmental information

is presented in respect of the Group’s industry segment,

Hospitality. Corporate is not an operating segment as it

does not meet the recognition criteria under NZ IFRS 8.

4. Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for

impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement

between 30-90 days from invoice date. All receivables are

due within 12 months of balance date.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing

for expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS 9, which

permits the use of lifetime expected loss provisions for all

trade receivables. Collectability of trade receivables is

reviewed on an ongoing basis and a provision for doubtful

debts is made when there is evidence that the Group will

not be able to collect the receivable. Additionally, the

Group has established an allowance for Expected Credit

Loss (ECL) based on its historical credit loss experience,

adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the

receivables and the economic environment. Receivables

are written off when recovery is no longer anticipated. There

are no overdue receivables considered impaired that have

not been provided for.

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated

at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises

direct materials and where appropriate, either a contract

manufacturing charge, or direct labour and an appropriate

proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the

latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating

capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory

on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is

the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business

less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated

costs necessary to make the sale.

6. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method. These amounts represent liabilities

for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the

end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts

are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 and 60 days

of recognition. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including

non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be

settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised

in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the

reporting date. Supplier loans relate to inducements received

for the long term supply to Hospitality venues. These loans

are amortised over the life of the individual contract as the

benefits are consumed.

7. Property, Plant & Equipment
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less

accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment

losses. 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 other repairs and

maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive

income during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Work in progress assets are those under construction that

are not yet in use and do not incur depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method

to expense the cost of the assets over their useful lives.

The rates are as follows:

Plant and equipment7% - 67%

Leasehold improvements6% - 20%

Fixtures & fittings7% - 67%

Motor vehicles10% - 21%

Any related gain or loss on disposal of assets is recognised

in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of

restructuring costs.

8. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on

initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition,

intangibles are carried at cost less any accumulated

amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not

amortised but are tested for impairment annually, either

individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Intangible

assets with a definite life are amortised on a straight-

line basis. Software and other intangibles, including

trademarks and the cost of development of venue

concepts, are amortised over a period of 2-4 years.

Goodwill is stated at cost, less any impairment losses.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs) and

is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, and

when an indication of impairment exists. For the purposes

of considering whether there has been an impairment,

assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are

identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the

cash flows of other groups of assets. When the book value

of a group of assets exceeds the recoverable amount,

an impairment loss arises and is recognised in earnings

immediately. Refer to note 2.1 for impairment considerations.

9. Leases

As lessee

The Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease

liabilities for most property leases. On inception of a new

lease, the lease liability is measured at the present value

of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the

Group's incremental borrowing rate at that date. The right-

of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease

liability, and are depreciated over the estimated remaining

lease term on a straight line basis. The Group presents the

right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately on the

Balance Sheet.

The Group applies the following practical expedients when

applying NZ IFRS 16:

• Exemption to not recognise right-of-use assets for low-

value leases; and

• Exemption to not recognise right-of-use assets for leases

with a term of less than 12 months.

The Group as the lessee has various non-cancellable leases

predominantly for the lease of land and buildings. The

leases have varying terms and renewal rights. On renewal,

the terms of the lease are renegotiated.

Share option plan

In July 2015 the Board approved the Company Employee

Share Option Plan. Options allow eligible staff to subscribe

for ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price.

Options are vested in equal tranches on the first to third

anniversaries of the date of issuance while the eligible

employees remain in full time employment with the Group.

Once vested the options can be exercised at any time up to

the second April following vesting. Employees can pay the

exercise price in shares using the 20-day Volume Weighted

Average Price of the Company shares up to the date of

issuance. The Employee Share Option Plan allows employees

to exercise all their vested options into ordinary shares for

cash or a lower number of ordinary shares for no cash.

Income tax expense

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the total

of the current year’s taxable income based on the national

income tax rate adjusted for any prior years' under or over

provisions, plus or minus movements in the deferred tax

balance except where the movement in deferred tax is

attributable to a movement in reserves. The current income

tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax laws enacted or

substantially enacted at balance date.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

Deferred tax
Movements in deferred tax are attributable to temporary

differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities

and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and

any unused tax losses or credits. 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.

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 temporary differences if they arose in a transaction,

other than a business combination, that at the time of the

transaction did not affect either accounting profit or loss or

taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible

temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the

extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be

available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities of individual

entities are reported separately in the consolidated

financial statements unless the entities have a legally

enforceable right to make or receive a single net payment

of tax and the entities intend to make or receive such a net

payment or to recover the current tax asset or settle the

current tax liability simultaneously.

17. Financial instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group

becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual

rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or

when the financial asset and substantially all the risk and

rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised

when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of

financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a

significant financing component and are measured at the

transaction price in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 (Revenue

from Contracts with Customers), all financial assets are

initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction

costs (where applicable). Financial assets, other than

those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are

classified into the following categories:

• Amortised cost

• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Fair value through other comprehensive income

(FVOCI)(FVOCI)

In the periods presented the Group does not have any

financial assets categorised as FVTPL or FVOCI.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if

the assets meet the following conditions (and are not

designated as FVTPL):

• they are held within a business model whose objective

is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual

cash flows

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise

to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and

interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less any provision

for expected credit losses. Discounting is omitted where

the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash

and trade and other receivables fall into this category of

financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

Recognition of credit losses uses the ‘expected credit

loss (ECL) model’. The Group considers a broad range

of information when assessing credit risk and measuring

expected credit losses, including past events, current

conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that

affect the expected collectability of future cash flows of the

instrument.

In applying this forward looking approach, a distinction is

made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated

significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or

that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly

in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit

risk is not low (‘Stage 2’)

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective

evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12 month

expected credit losses’ are recognised in Stage 1, while

'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised for Stage 2.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined

by probability weighted estimate of credit losses over the

expected life of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in

accounting for trade receivables and records the loss

allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the

expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering

the potential for default at any point during the life of the

financial instrument.

36

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

Classification and measurement of
financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other

payables, deferred consideration, borrowings and related

party payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and,

where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless

the Group designated a financial liability at fair value

through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest

method. Deferred consideration is measured at fair value

with movements recognised in profit or loss.

Borrowings 8,407 11,350

Total financial liabilities 16,867 21,400

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial

risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate

risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk

management programme focuses on the unpredictability of

financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse

effects on the financial performance of the Group. The

Group uses different methods to measure different types

of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include

sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign

exchange risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

b) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such

as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the

Group’s income, input costs, or interest rates on the Group's

borrowings. The objective of market risk management is

to manage and control risk exposures within acceptable

parameters while optimising the return on risk.

i) Interest rate risk

The Group’s fair value interest rate risk as at 31 March 2024

arises from its borrowings. An analysis on the sensitivity of

the Group's earnings due to movements in interest rates is

shown below.

Effect on net loss before tax

2024

$000’s

2023

$000’s

1% increase in interest rate(80)(108)

1% decrease in interest rate80 108

The above information is calculated by applying the

movement to the average balance of borrowings on hand at

31 March 2024 of $8.4m (2023: $10.8m).

ii) Currency risk

The Group purchases services that are denominated in foreign

currencies (primarily AUD) from time to time. These purchases

were immaterial during the financial year, and the Group's

exposure to movements in foreign exchange is immaterial

(2023: both immaterial).

c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a

customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to

meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash

and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as

from the Group’s receivables due from customers. Cash and

deposit balances are held with financial institutions rated at

least an A+ Credit Rating by Standard and Poors.

Sales are settled in cash at the point of sale, leaving minimal

debtors. The Group has adopted the simplified approach

to ECL (expected credit loss) in NZ IFRS 9: Financial

Instruments which apply to trade receivables that are in the

scope of IFRS 15. The impact is limited as trade receivables

are predominantly less than 30 days.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is

the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised in

Note 4.

37

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach

to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due,

under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles

of financial assets and liabilities.

The following maturity analysis table sets out the remaining contractual undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities.

Independent auditor’s report to the shareholders of Savor Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Savor Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) on

pages 22 to 38, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 March 2024, and the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of movements in equity and consolidated statement of cash

flows for the year then ended of the Group, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements including material

accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 22 to 38 present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2024 and its consolidated financial performance and cash

flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

and International Financial Reporting Standards.

This 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

and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our responsibilities under those

standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group 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 we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interest in, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Partners and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading

activities of the business of the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the

consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion

on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of

procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements.

The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the

basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Savor Group 2024 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report


Goodwill Impairment

Why significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

• As at 31 March 2024, the Group has Goodwill of $20.7 million

after recording a $4.3m impairment as disclosed in Note 8.

• Given the nature of the Group’s operations, each of its

venues are determined to be a separate cash generating unit

(“CGU”) to which goodwill is allocated. To consider whether

goodwill is impaired, the recoverable amount of each CGU is

determined each reporting period by reference to valuations

prepared to assess their value-in-use using discounted cash

flow models (DCF models).

• DCF models contain significant judgement and estimation

in respect of future cash flow forecasts, discount rate

and terminal growth rate assumptions. Changes in these

assumptions can lead to significant changes in the assessment

of the recoverable amount and so the assessment of whether

goodwill is impaired or not.

• Disclosures regarding the Group’s key assumptions adopted,

and impairment recognised are included in Note 2.1 of the

financial statements.

Our audit procedures included amongst others:

• Understood the Group's goodwill impairment assessment

process.

• Assessed the Group's determination of CGUs based on our

understanding of the nature of the Group's venues.

• Obtained the Group's DCF models and agreed the forecasts

within them to the Board approved forecasts.

• Assessed key inputs to the DCF models including revenue

and EBITDA margin forecasts, which were compared to historic

trading performance, discount rates and terminal growth rates.

• Involved our valuation specialists to assess the Group's

discount and terminal growth rates. Our valuation specialists

were also involved in benchmarking the Group’s assessed

recoverable values with relevant market multiples and assessing

the integrity of the DCF models.

• For the CGU where goodwill was impaired the DCF models

scenarios based on potential future operating assumptions

were assessed.

• Performed sensitivity analysis for CGUs to assess the potential

impact of changes in assumptions.

• Assessed the Group’s equity against market capitalisation of the

company.

• Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the Notes to the

financial statements, including the disclosure related to the

CGU where an impairment has been recognised.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other than the consolidated

financial statements and auditor’s 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.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,

in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or

our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we

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

Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated

financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to

enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entity 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 cease operations, or have

no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 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

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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.
