„ Reduction in financing expenses of $205,000 due to SANFL’s lowered debt position..

Club debt was also reduced to $8m following payments totalling another $2.5m to the eight member clubs. Those payments represent the fourth tranche of the $16m being distributed to SANFL member clubs over seven years from the Football Park redevelopment.

Cash earnings fell by $2.2m, largely due to a decrease in net income received from Adelaide Oval as a 50% joint venture partner, which can be attributed to fewer major events at Adelaide Oval, lower attendances and increases in operating costs in 2019.

While SANFL is budgeting on a similar financial result in 2020, there are two major projects underway that that will lead to an improved financial result from 2021 and SANFL returning to a cash earnings surplus by 2022:

2019 2018

Cash Earnings ($1,513,410) $689,911

Statutory profit per annual report $3,392,910 $6,988,844

Net Assets $95,933,111 $99,256,140

Secured Debt $2,801,890 $7,300,100

„ SANFL use cash earnings as its operating measure – as this is the cash actually generated from operations.

„ SANFL’s cash earnings result was negative $1.51m compared to the 2018 result of a surplus of $689,911.

„ The decline of $2.21m is predominantly due to a decrease in the net income generated from Adelaide Oval. The key factors causing this decline were:

A decline in cricket attendances, particularly the Big Bash 20 over format which has had average attendances decline by 39% in recent seasons.

A decline in AFL Football attendances in 2019 of 6% with an average attendance of 40,000.

Less major events being staged at the oval in 2019 outside of sporting match days.

Increasing operating costs for Adelaide Oval.

„ As SACA and SANFL are the joint shareholders of the Oval they must fund any trading shortfall of the Ovals operations. The above factors resulted in the service fee paid to AOSMA to fund its net operations increase by approximately $2.3m in 2019 compared to 2018.

„ In addition, SANFL and SACA each contributed $1.47m to a sinking fund that creates a reserve for future asset replacement at the oval and $400,000 to the State Government sports fund.

„ AFC and PAFC as tenants have no exposure to the risk of financing stadium operations or these additional payments.

„ The Statutory profit of $3.39m includes a number of abnormal non-cash items that are detailed below - and excludes $4.5m paid to the clubs as distributions and SANFL’s annual debt contractual requirements.

„ SANFL reduced its secured bank debt by $4.5m to $2.8m by applying the proceeds of land sales at Football Park. This compares to a debt level of $37m in 2014.

„ SANFL also reduced State League club debt by a further $2.5m to $8m compared to the 2014 debt levels of approximately $16m.

Detailed Overview

The trading result for SANFL for 2019 was a statutory net profit of $3.39m which was a decrease of $3.59m compared to 2018. The statutory profit includes a number of non-cash adjustments that are detailed vero the page. These are accounting adjustments that have no cash impact and were largely attributable to the decrease in the statutory result.

The following table adjusts the statutory profit for these non-cash items and reconciles it to “cash earnings”. Cash earnings is SANFL’s measure of the net cash being generated from its operations for the period.

10 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

2019 2018

Statutory profit per annual report $3,392,910 $6,988,844

Exclusion of Non-cash adjustments:

Exclude revaluation of balance sheet items measured at NPV ($3,687,470) ($1,350,899) – Note 1

Add back depreciation, amortisation and asset write-downs – Note 2 $3,276,482 $3,348,099

Less gain on land acquisition – Note 3 - ($2,093,552)

Less the equity accounted increase in investment in AOSMA – Note 4 ($353,842) ($1,436,671)

Add other non-cash adjustments $353,327 $572,425

Statutory profit excluding non-cash adjustments $2,981,407 $6,028,246

Less Football Development Grants paid to State League Clubs ($4,466,612) ($4,286,000)

Less debt repayment - Note 5 - ($922,000)

Less capital purchases ($28,205) ($130,335)

Cash Earnings ($1,513,410) $689,911

Note 1 – SANFL has a number of balance sheet items that are valued at net present value or market value. These assets must be revalued each year with the change in value impacting SANFL’s statutory profit. These revaluations have no impact on SANFL’s cash earnings and are therefore excluded in the above reconciliation.

Note 2 – SANFL has a significant depreciation and impairment charge mainly against assets located at Football Park. The impairment charge in 2019 of $1.82m was the final material write-down after the stadium demolition during the financial year. These charges are added back as there is no cash earnings impact.

Note 3 – A $2.09m gain was realised on a parcel of land that SANFL contracted to purchase at Football Park in 2018. This was an accounting entry to recognise the market value of the land compared to its purchase price that has no impact on cash earnings.

Note 4 – As the 50% joint venture shareholder of AOSMA, SANFL equity accounts this investment and therefore recognises in its statutory result 50% of any movements in the net equity of AOSMA. This can fluctuate on an annual basis.

Note 5 – As SANFL was ahead of its contractual debt repayment requirements, no debt repayments were made other than from the proceeds of land sale.

Secured debt reduced from $7.30m to $2.80m inclusive of the proceeds of sale of further parcels of land at Football Park of $9.05m. The land sale proceeds were allocated to both SANFL and SANFL club debt reduction. Clubs were distributed a total of $2.50m as the fourth instalment of $16m over 7 years.

SANFL’s cash flow statement shows a negative “Net cash flows from operating activities” of $1.23m which is consistent with the negative cash earnings result described above.

Some key points regarding the 2019 financial result are:

„ Land sales of $9.05m at Football Park „ Land payments to SANFL clubs of $2.50m to enable debt reduction, $8.4m has been paid to date. „ Reduction in secured debt of $4.5m. „ Reduction in financing expenses of $205,000 due to debt reduction.

Looking ahead to 2020

While SANFL is budgeting on a similar financial result in 2020, there are two major projects underway that that will lead to an improved financial result in 2021 and SANFL returning to a cash earnings surplus by 2022:

„ SANFL commenced in January 2020 a significant redevelopment of the Tavern at Football Park that will form part of the land development project at that site. With more than 2,000 new local residents by 2027 the Tavern will create a significantly improved revenue stream for SANFL from the 2021 financial year.

„ The Adelaide Oval Hotel construction is well underway and the Hotel is scheduled to open by the end of September 2020. Again, this will create a new revenue stream for SANFL as a 50% Joint Venture shareholder of AOSMA who is constructing and operating the Hotel.

The above initiatives will provide critical new revenue streams for SANFL to offset the financial risk that SANFL is exposed to from Adelaide Oval operations – mainly declining attendances and a reliance on major event revenue.
