Annual report 2016 Breville Group Limited Annual report 2016 Contents: Chairman's review 1 CEO's review 3 Strategy and brands 5 Financial report 13 Shareholder information 90 Company information 92 Annual general meeting: Monday 21 November 2016 at 10am Ground Floor, Suite 2, 170-180 Bourke Rd, Alexandria NSW 2015. (front cover) the Control Freak where precision meets control Chairman's review \"The transformation into a scalable, global, innovation-driven product company has begun\" During the 2016 nancial year, the Breville Group delivered a result with growth in both Group revenue and EBIT. This result was accomplished whilst simultaneously executing the Group's transformation program in a challenging and highly competitive global market. Group revenues increased by 9.4% on the prior year to $576.6m, underpinned by the continued growth from Breville designed and developed products. EBIT for the year nished at $73.7m, being 5.9% higher than the prior year and net prot after tax increased by 7.5% to $50.2m. North American revenue, in AUD, increased by 24.0% to $251.8m, with growth coming from new product releases and sustained performance of existing products in the key beverage and cooking categories. In ANZ, revenues for the year of $242.6m were marginally lower than the prior year. Pleasingly ANZ still achieved increases in revenues from Breville designed and developed products, but these increases were insufcient to offset the decline in revenues from the highly competitive and price driven 'sourced products' segment. Rest of World segment revenues, in AUD, increased by 4.3% to $82.3m, although in constant currency, segment revenues were lower than the prior year. The UK business continues to perform solidly. The growth in Group EBIT was primarily driven by the strong performance in North America, which reported EBIT increasing by 36.9% in AUD to $43.6m, compensating for the ANZ segment, where EBIT decreased by $1.7m to $16.6m. The decrease in ANZ EBIT resulted primarily from the negative margin impact of the strengthened USD and a highly competitive market, which was partially offset by the sales mix shift towards higher margin Breville designed and developed products. Rest of World segment EBIT was 8.4% higher at $22.1m, with improved EBIT margin driven by a shift to higher margin products in both the Rest of World distribution business and the UK. go-to-market process, and progression toward a Group-wide business application stack, the building blocks for future scalability of the business are being positioned. Further scalability is anticipated through the implementation of a consolidation warehouse in China, which is expected to be operational in the second half of the 2017 nancial year. The Board increased the level of dividends for the year to 28.5 cents per share from 27.0 cents per share in the prior year, demonstrating its condence in Breville's global growth potential, the Group's strong balance sheet, and the continued commitment to providing strong returns to shareholders. On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Kate Wright, who joined the Board on 1 September 2016 as a non-executive director. I encourage all shareholders to attend the annual general meeting in November to join us in formally welcoming Kate. Finally, I would like to thank my Board colleagues, the many Breville team members around the globe for their dedication and hard work, and our shareholders, customers and suppliers for their continued support. Steven Fisher Non-executive chairman Under the leadership and vision of CEO Jim Clayton, the Group is well placed for global growth, with a number of key strategic levers in execution phase under the transformation program. With faster development cycles and global product launches, end-to-end transformation of our Group Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 1 the Toast Select Luxe 2 slice toaster with progress indicator CEO's review \"Despite the challenging nature of the global market, the Group was able to deliver in line with our expectations, while simultaneously making meaningful progress on our transformation program. I look forward to continue building on this success.\" Financial summary 30 June 2016 30 June 2015 576.6 527.0 EBIT 73.7 69.6 Net prot after tax 50.2 46.7 Earnings per share (cents) 38.6 35.9 Return on equity (%) 20.4 20.2 $ Millions except where indicated Revenue During the year the Group has rened its strategic path and commenced execution of its transformation program, whilst simultaneously delivering Group revenue and earnings expectations. The North American business has continued its strong growth with reported revenue up 24.0% to $251.8m (FY15: $203.1m), with constant currency growth of 10.3% reecting the ongoing positive growth since the juicing category re-set, which commenced in calendar year 2014. North American EBIT in AUD for the year increased by 36.9% to $43.6m (FY15: $31.9m) driven by the increase in revenue and a more favourable product mix. The segment EBIT margin, which increased to 17.3% from 15.7% in the prior year, was also assisted by the introduction of new innovative products at higher margins. In ANZ, Breville designed and developed products (\"Breville Global\") performed well with revenue increasing by 11.2%; however, trading remained difcult in the mid-market segment, which comprises revenues from 'sourced products', internally referred to as \"Breville Local\". The price driven nature of this segment, coupled with discount retailers favouring their own brands in the entry to mid-price points, contributed to the decline in the revenue of this market segment. ANZ EBIT for the year decreased by 9.4% to $16.6m (FY15: $18.3m), being negatively impacted by the strengthened USD and the inability, due to market pressures, to process compensating wholesale price increases across the entire range. The impact of the USD on margins was partially offset by the sales mix shift towards the higher margin Breville Global products and cost efciency savings. The Rest of World segment increased revenue in AUD by 4.3% to $82.3m (FY15: $78.8m). In constant currency segment revenues were less than the prior year, with the Rest of World distribution business revenues negatively impacted by a number of our distribution partners' exposure to the strengthening USD and specic issues in some of the markets in which they operate. The UK business continued its solid performance with revenue growing by 15.2% in AUD or 7.4% in constant currency as both the customer base and product range expanded. Rest of World EBIT of $22.1m (FY15: $20.3m) was 8.4% higher. The segment EBIT margin improved to 26.8% from 25.8%, driven by a shift to higher margin products in both the Rest of World distribution business and the UK. During my rst year at Breville, the Group has begun its transition from an Australian company, which sells products globally, to a truly global business selling products locally. I am pleased to report that we have moved from the planning to the execution phase of the transformation program which is tracking to our timeline. Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 3 CEO's review continued The transformation program is focused on the three key strategic levers, with progress against each as follows: Transition into a global, innovation-driven product company: shorten development cycles and accelerate new global product releases, increase the relative investment in R&D and marketing and align the Group behind the go-to-market models of 'Global' and 'Local' businesses. > > A new innovative product, with an original target release date of September 2017 has been accelerated to a fully marketed launch in October/November 2016 Structural changes made to the ANZ 'product' function will enable acceleration of new product introductions and better alignment with retailers and customers Market expansion and optimisation: improving go-to-market and geographic footprint effectiveness, expanding into new channels and helping distribution partners grow more quickly. > Sales force effectiveness: multi-country pilots have been run to identify opportunities > Go-to-market: End to end re-architecture of the Group's go-to-market process has commenced > Rest of World distributors: Market-back pricing has been extended to other distributors > North American Nespresso partnership: distribution to commence in the second half of FY17 Scalable, global platform: a corporate platform designed to scale efciently and effectively which allows granular management of global product ow and gives 360 visibility of our customers and common visibility across the Group (ERP, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Ecommerce, Sales and Operational Planning (S&OP). > S&OP process implemented in the second half of FY16, with benets to begin owing in FY17 > ERP system in Canada became operational and the USA ERP implementation will follow in September 2016 > Further scalability is anticipated through the establishment of a consolidation warehouse in China, which is expected to be operational in the second half of FY17. FY16 was a year of organisational structure and alignment and planning. FY17 will be one of transformational execution. The focus on the acceleration of new global product introductions and releases will continue, and the re-architecture of the go-to-market process will progress. The cost structure re-allocation towards product and marketing will commence with the transition from spending 8.4% of net sales (FY16) to 12% of net sales, a process that is expected to progress over multiple future reporting periods. Core global systems and the consolidation warehouse will be fully operational by the close of FY17. On a personal note, I am encouraged by the progress we have made during the year and the passion and capability demonstrated by the Breville Group team. I would like to thank the Board and the Breville Group team for their ongoing support and counsel. Jim Clayton Chief executive ofcer 4 Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 Strategy and brands Breville Group's primary strategy is the design and development of the world's best kitchen appliances together with effective distribution and marketing of their performance benets on a global scale. The Breville brand is at the core of this strategy representing the majority of the Group's revenues and marketing activities. There are however, a number of additional company owned brands and brand partners in different geographies that assist in the delivery of the business strategy. In line with its global strategy, the company is focused on the design and development of Breville branded products supplied to the premium kitchen segment of the market (internally referred to as 'Breville Global') but still enjoys reasonably broad distribution in Australia and New Zealand of 'sourced products' (internally referred to as 'Breville Local'), some of which also carry the Breville brand, but may also be branded Kambrook. North America In North America, the Group distributes its range of premium internally designed and developed kitchen products under the Breville brand primarily through premium channels and its own online retailing platform. From the second half of the 2017 nancial year, the Breville brand will include a range of Breville co-branded Nespresso coffee machines as one of Nespresso's machine partners in North America. Since July 2014, North American revenues have also included a USA based culinary division PolyScience, one of the world's market leaders in premier sous vide cooking in both the commercial and professional markets. Europe In the United Kingdom and Europe the Breville brand is not owned or operated by the Breville Group. In the United Kingdom, the Group markets and distributes its Breville premium designed and developed Breville Global kitchen products under the company owned brand Sage which is endorsed by internationally acclaimed chef Heston Blumenthal. Within Europe, the Group has a number of partners who market Breville's premium designed and developed products under their own brands or under the Sage brand. In addition to endorsing the Sage brand, Heston Blumenthal also plays the role of being Breville's global brand ambassador in all markets outside of Europe. Rest of the World In the Asia Pacic region and the Middle East, the Group markets its premium designed and developed kitchen products under the Breville brand as well as selected products under the Kambrook brand in parts of Asia and Africa. Distribution in these regions is managed using local third party distributors supplied via the Group's Hong Kong ofce. Australia and New Zealand In Australia and New Zealand, the Group primarily trades under its company owned brands, Breville and Kambrook and also distributes a range of Philips products in the garment and personal care categories under a licence agreement. The Kambrook brand extends to categories beyond the kitchen, offering not just a full range of kitchen appliances, but also irons, vacuums, heating and cooling products, all at an affordable price without any compromise on quality and performance. Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 5 Strategy and brands continued Breville - Thought for Food On Melbourne Cup day 1932, two Australian entrepreneurs, Bill O'Brien and Harry Norville, combined their surnames together to form the name 'Breville' and founded a company manufacturing radios out of Sydney. During the 1960's, Bill's son John focused the organisation on solving common kitchen problems and founded the Breville small appliance research and development centre, which led to the invention of the now iconic Breville toasted sandwich maker. The toasted sandwich maker kick-started a long list of innovative Breville products developed in Australia. From the original Kitchen Wizz food processor and High-Wall Wok to the launch of the world's rst wide feed chute Juicer, Breville has become synonymous with innovation in the kitchen. In 2000, Breville embarked on a project to expand its design and innovation capabilities, building a much larger internal team that has today become one of Australia's premier product development teams. This investment culminated in the 2003 launch of its premium range of products into the United States and other international markets. In 2009, Breville combined its design and development capabilities with a more focused marketing, recruitment and cultural initiative entitled 'Food Thinking'. As a part of this strategy, a new global brand identity was developed and rolled out across packaging, point of sale and all other consumer marketing touch points. Breville's strategy of 'Food Thinking' and creativity remains relevant today and it continues to gain momentum. The strategy centres around: Deeper understanding of food and the challenges consumers face; Protectable innovation; Superior quality and design; and Increased marketing communication. 6 Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 Breville's appreciation for food science and culinary trends has led to a fostering of relationships with several high prole food thinkers including world renowned baristas and chefs, some of which have helped the Group in a product development capacity. In his ambassadorial role, world renowned chef Heston Blumenthal works closely with Breville's product development teams, providing invaluable insights into the food science necessary for the Group to continue developing \"best in class\" products. Sage By Heston Blumenthal In the United Kingdom, the Group distributes its premium designed and developed products under the Group owned brand, Sage, which is endorsed by Heston Blumenthal. The brand identity and positioning of Sage by Heston Blumenthal is aligned closely to the global Breville brand identity and 'Food Thinking' strategy. The Sage by Heston Blumenthal distribution strategy is also very similar to that of North America, with distribution limited primarily to premium retailers. The Group continues to invest in marketing activity for the Sage by Heston Blumenthal brand to solidify the brand's presence in the premium channel in the United Kingdom. Kambrook - The Smarter Choice Kambrook has become known for quality, durable products at an affordable price. The ever-expanding product range encompasses appliances for the kitchen, living room, laundry and bedroom. Kambrook continues to highlight the durability of its appliances and the rigorous testing process that each new product undergoes. Products are subjected to extensive laboratory and quality testing before receiving the Kambrook seal of approval. PolyScience Innovation & product development Breville Group acquired the PolyScience culinary division in July 2014. PolyScience which was initially a supplier of temperature control equipment to the medical industry expanded into culinary products, employing its temperature control technologies to launch the world's premier immersion cooking circulators (for sous vide cooking) as well as various specialty cooking accessories such as the Smoking Gun (for rapid food smoking), vacuum sealers, cold plates and vacuum evaporations systems. The core driving the Group's growth continues to be investment in product development and a focus on design and innovation. Breville has deepened its understanding of food, and how the consumer interacts with it, applying this to solving problems in ways that are both valuable to people, and differentiated from competitors. Breville actively protects this customer value through increased investment in intellectual property protection and via the development of a portfolio of patented innovative products for future sustainable growth. the Smoking Gun Wood smoke infuser Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 7 Strategy and brands continued People - creativity & food thinkers Breville enjoys the benets of highly experienced talent across all departments and geographies.

In constant currency, revenues for this segment increased by 10.3%, reecting the ongoing positive growth since the juicing category re-set, which commenced in calendar year 2014. Increased North American revenues were underpinned by new product releases as well as the sustained performance of the existing product range in the key categories of beverage and cooking. Core products in these categories include the range of espresso machines, mini ovens, toasters and kettles. Reported EBIT for the year was 36.9% higher than pcp increasing to $43.6m (2015: $31.9m) driven by the increase in revenue along with a more favourable product mix. The segment EBIT margin, which increased to 17.3% (2015: 15.7%), was also assisted by the introduction of new innovative products at higher margins. ANZ Our ANZ segment, which sells multiple brands, in multiple categories, across a full range of price points, from kitchen appliances to personal care and garment care, continues to face market challenges in the midmarket segment. Revenues for the year of $242.6m were marginally lower ($2.5m or 1.0%) than the pcp (2015: $245.1m). In line with prior reporting periods, ANZ revenues from the Breville designed and developed products have continued to increase, being 11.2% higher than the pcp. The remaining revenues from 'sourced products' (internally referred to as 'Breville Local'), which account for a greater proportion of total revenue, have declined given the competitive nature of this segment of the market. The price driven nature of this segment, coupled with discount retailers favouring their own home brands in the entry to mid-price points, contributed to the decline in revenue of this market segment. Operating and nancial review continued Financial position Segment results continued Working capital ANZ continued The total investment in working capital ended $10.4m higher compared to that of the prior year, driven primarily by a decrease in trade and other payables. EBIT for the year decreased to $16.6m (2015: $18.3m), with the overall EBIT margin decreasing from 7.5% in the prior year to 6.9%. EBIT for the second half of the year clawed back some of the shortfall reported in the rst half by increasing to $5.3m from $2.1m in the pcp. The overall EBIT margin was negatively impacted by the strengthened USD and the inability, due to market pressures, to process wholesale price increases across the entire range. The impact of the strong USD was partially offset by the sales mix shift towards the higher margin Breville designed and developed products and cost efciency savings. Rest of World This segment comprises the Rest of the World distribution business supplied from Hong Kong as well as the Group's UK business, which distributes Breville designed and developed products under companyowned brand, Sage. Inventory balances at 30 June 2016 of $107.7m (2015: $108.3m) are $0.6m lower compared to the pcp and after excluding the translation effect at balance sheet date, are $1.9m lower. Likewise, inventory turns have improved. The Group implemented a global 'sales and operations planning' (S&OP) process during the second half of the 2016 nancial year. We are just beginning to see the benets of this process change. We expect a majority of the benet to be realised during the 2017 nancial year. The $10.3m reduction in trade payables compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to lower stock related purchases, a leading indicator of the S&OP process. Receivables of $89.5m were at compared to the prior year (2015: $88.7m). Total segment revenue in AUD increased by 4.3% to $82.3m (2015: $78.8m). In constant currency, segment revenues were less than the pcp, with lower Rest of World distribution business revenues only partly offset by higher UK business revenues, which increased by 7.4%. Net cash at 30 June 2016 was $36.1m compared to $32.8m at the same time last year. Net cash ow generated from operating activities of $52.3m was higher than the pcp (2015: $45.7m). Revenue in the Rest of World distribution business was negatively impacted by a number of our distribution partners' markets being exposed to the effects of a strengthening USD, as well as specic issues affecting some of the markets in which our partners operate. The Group has continued its investment in efciency, cost improvement and revenue driving projects to support a larger and more geographically diverse business, including the global roll out of a single business application stack: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), eCommerce and S&OP. The UK business has continued its solid performance with revenue in AUD growing by 15.2%. This increase has resulted from both an expanded customer base as well as a wider product range. Capital expenditure Reported EBIT of $22.1m (2015: $20.3m) was 8.4% higher than pcp. The segment EBIT margin improved to 26.8% from 25.8% in the prior nancial year, driven by a positive shift to higher margin products in both the Rest of World distribution business and the UK. Other The Group's Other reporting segment includes the Group's shared service facility, design and development and global marketing functions, as well as the depreciation/amortisation charge on Group assets including capitalised product development projects. The net change from the prior year is mainly attributable to higher employee related expenses (mainly the Group short term and long term incentive expense) and increased depreciation/ amortisation from new Group assets. These increases have been partially offset by an over-recovery of intra-group charges compared to the pcp. Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 17 Directors' report continued Operating and nancial review continued Material business risks The material business risks that may impact the achievement of the Group's strategy and its future nancial prospects are summarised below, together with key actions to mitigate these risks: Risk Nature of risk Key actions to mitigate risk Foreign exchange exposures Transactional exposure as its product purchases are primarily paid for in US dollars. Translational exposure as its international earnings, a large portion of which are denominated in US dollars, are translated into Australian dollars for reporting purposes. The transactional and translational exposures are considered to result in a partial natural hedge from a Group perspective. A weak Australian dollar is likely to have an adverse impact on the ANZ segment's earnings (as a result of higher landed costs) but a positive impact on the translation of nonAustralian dollar denominated results. Treasury policy requires hedging of a portion of expected purchases up to 18 months in advance. Adverse global economic conditions and consumer demand Adverse changes to the general global economic and retail landscape and consumer sentiment in the principal markets in which the Group operates will impact its nancial results. The Group mitigates this risk by continued communication with consumers to gain greater insight into the changing world of food and beverage trends and by keeping abreast with global economic and consumer data and industry trends. Margin risk The highly competitive nature of the small domestic appliance market together with changes in manufacturing costs, including commodity prices, will have an impact on the Group's nancial results. This risk is mitigated by protecting the Group's intellectual property, brand building initiatives, introducing elements of variability into its cost structure and strengthening its long term supplier relationships. Group strategies and prospects During the year the Group has rened its strategic direction and has commenced the execution of its transformation program, focusing on the following key strategic pillars: In the current year progress has been made against product milestones as follows: A new innovative product, which will deliver the best quality outcome of any such product in its category, originally had a target release date of September 2017. The Group has now successfully managed to bring this release date forward to October 2016. Structural changes made to the ANZ 'product' function, resulting in an integrated category management structure, will enable acceleration of new product introductions and better alignment of the product portfolio for both retailer and consumer needs. 1) Transition into a global, innovation-driven product company The Group is currently working on: 18 Increasing the number of new global product releases; Shortening development cycles and accelerating new product introductions; Increasing the investment in R&D and marketing, which will be funded by cost efciencies; and Aligning the Group behind the two distinct goto-market models - 'global' and 'local'. Breville Group Limited annual report 2016 Operating and nancial review continued Group strategies and prospects continued North American Nespresso machine partnership: This distribution will commence in the second half of the 2017 nancial year. 2) Market expansion and optimisation 3) Scalable, global platform The Group will focus on accelerating growth through increasing the size of its addressable market by: To support accelerated growth, the Group needs a corporate platform designed to scale efciently and effectively. Delivering against this requirement, the Group is transitioning from its historical, decentralised structure into a functional, global model, and, where appropriate, up-skilling key capabilities. A scalable, global platform will require the granular management of global product ow (inventory management) and the need for a Groupwide business application stack, giving 360 visibility of our customers and common visibility across the Group (ERP, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), eCommerce, S&OP). Improving go-to-market and geographic footprint effectiveness; Expanding into new channels where appropriate, driving greater penetration into existing markets; and Helping distribution partners grow more quickly. In the current year progress on market expansion and effectiveness was as follows: Sales force effectiveness: Multi-country pilots were undertaken to identify opportunities and improve the go forward sales force approach. During the second half of the 2016 nancial year, the Group implemented a S&OP process and the ERP system in Canada become operational with the USA to follow in September 2016. Go-to-market: End-to-end re-architecture of the Group's go-to-market process to embrace the omni-channel approach, enabling the support of consumers through each stage of their decision and post decision cycle. The roll out of the remaining Group-wide business application stack (ERP, CRM, eCommerce) is expected to be completed by the end of the 2017 nancial year. Rest of World distributors: Market back pricing pilot was extended to other distributors and the future realignment of the supply chain is expected to overcome existing minimum order quantity (MOQ) challenges. Further scalability is anticipated through the establishment of a consolidation warehouse in China, which is expected to be operational by February 2017.
