It should be noted that valuable assets owned by the Group such as mobile spectrum licences and indefeasible rights of use of bandwidth capacity are classified as intangible assets and are therefore excluded from the Group’s net tangible assets.

  • Financial Results Commentary Half Year Ended 30 June 2020 (‘1H20’)
    TPG Telecom Limited (ASX: TPG) (‘the Company’) Financial Results Commentary Half Year Ended 30 June 2020 (‘1H20’) Purpose of this document The TPG Telecom directors recognise that, due to the timing of the completion of the recent merger of the Company with TPG Corporation, there is significant complexity in the Company’s accounts for the half-year ended 30 June 2020. This document is provided to help explain some of the complexities and should be read in conjunction with the half-year financial report and investor presentation. Introduction On 29 June 2020, the company formerly known as TPG Telecom Limited (ASX code: TPM) ceased trading on the ASX and changed its name to TPG Corporation Limited. Throughout this document, this company is referred to as TPG Corporation. On 29 June 2020, the company formerly known as Vodafone Hutchison Australia Limited (VHA) changed its name to TPG Telecom Limited and on 30 June 2020 listed on the ASX (ASX code: TPG). Throughout this document, this company is referred to as TPG Telecom. Following the merger of TPG Telecom and TPG Corporation, through a Scheme of Arrangement that was completed on 13 July 2020, under which TPG Telecom acquired all of the shares in TPG Corporation, these companies and their subsidiaries now form the TPG Telecom Group or ‘Group’. Overview of the Group’s accounts for the half-year ended 30 June 2020 (‘1H20’) Although the merger of TPG Telecom and TPG Corporation was not implemented until 13 July 2020, it became effective for accounting purposes on 26 June 2020. The Group’s statutory income statement for 1H20 therefore includes a full six months results of the company formerly known as VHA but only four days from TPG Corporation (the company formerly known as TPG Telecom).
