The drought and bushfires last summer, followed by COVID-19, had a significant impact in the 8 countries where we, or our franchisees, trade. In Australia, with the ‘Shop Smart’ and ‘Shop Safe’ guidelines, the Harvey Norman®, Domayne® and Joyce Mayne® franchisees bolstered their ability to safely service their customers. With the exception of the mandatory closure of two franchised complexes in Tasmania for a 2-week period, the 194 franchised complexes throughout Australia have remained open during the year. Overseas in the 7 countries in which we operate, the respective governments mandated temporary closures of between 4 to 10 weeks, and staggered re-opening dates. As our company-operated stores overseas began to re-open to the public, sales improved quickly. Pleasingly, customers continued to engage strongly with our brands and importantly, as we are in the lifestyle / home retail space, the customer was appreciative of the shopping experience, spaciousness and easy parking at the physical franchised complexes and stores, whilst embracing the ease of connection to our brands digitally and the important convenience of home delivery and click and collect. The results achieved in 2020, are a testament to the strength of our model. Record Financial Results . Reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation & amortisation (EBITDA) of $944.67m, up by $256.07m or +37.2%. Record EBITDA (excluding AASB 16 impact and net property revaluations) of $742.47m, up by $124.18m or +20.1%. Reported earnings before interest & tax (EBIT) of $721.08m, up by $117.74m or +19.5%. Record EBIT (excluding AASB 16 impact and net property revaluations) of $654.86m, up by $121.82m or +22.9%. Reported profit before tax (PBT) of $661.29m, up by $86.73m or +15.1% from prior year, our highest ever PBT on record. PBT (excluding AASB 16 net impact and net property revaluations) of $635.60m, up by $131.35m or +26.0%, our highest ever since inception. Reported net profit after tax (NPAT) and non-controlling interests of $480.54m, up by $78.22m or +19.4%. NPAT (excluding AASB 16 net impact and net property revaluations) of $462.16m, up by $109.08m or +30.9%. Very strong balance sheet with total assets of $5.83 billion, including tangible freehold property assets of over $3 billion. For personal use only . Positive net cash position of $15.35m (cash net of interest-bearing loans and borrowings) at the end of FY20, compared to a net debt position of $626.47m at the end of FY19. This equates to a net debt to equity ratio of nil as at 30 June 2020 compared to a net debt to equity ratio of 19.46% as at 30 June 2019. This was achieved through the stronger cash receipts and the stringent measures implemented during FY20 to preserve cash and reduce external debt. As at 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity had $685 million of unused, available financing facilities, and is therefore well-placed to respond to challenges that may arise. Net Assets of $3.5 billion, up by 8.7% from $3.2 billion. 4 2 CHAIRMAN and CEO’s REPORT (continued) Record Financial Results (continued) . Net cash flows from operating activities of $1.1 billion for FY20, up $684.12 million or +183%, from $372.85 million in FY19. Earnings per share (EPS) of 39.19 cents, up by 15.5% from 33.94 cents. PBT return on net assets of 19.02% for FY20, up from 18.0% in FY19. Property . 30 June 2020: 194 franchised complexes in Australia and 96 company-operated stores overseas. Robust $3 billion property portfolio, consisting of freehold investment properties in Australia, owner- occupied land and buildings in New Zealand, Singapore, Slovenia, Ireland and Australia and joint venture assets. 6 new company-operated stores opened during FY20 – 5 in Malaysia during HY20 at Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru (July 2019), AEON Mall, Kota Bahru (October 2019), IPC Toppen, Johor Bahru (November 2019), Ipoh Parade, Ipoh (November 2019) and Batu Kawan, Penang (December 2019); and 1 in New Zealand at Takanini in South Auckland (March 2020). The remaining 5 stores that were due to open in the second half of FY20 in Malaysia (2), Singapore (1), and Ireland (2) did not occur as planned due to the government lockdowns and business closures in response to COVID-19. We intend to open up to 12 new stores overseas during FY21. In last year’s report, we had disclosed our international expansion plans and our intention to open up to 21 new stores overseas by the end of the 2021 financial year, with 17 of those new stores in Singapore and Malaysia. Of those 21 new stores, 10 stores were planned to open in FY20 and 11 stores were planned for FY21. We were on track with our offshore store opening program in Malaysia and had opened 5 new stores prior to 31 December 2019, in line with our schedule. In addition, we opened an electrical outlet store at Takanini, South Auckland in March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic halted our overseas expansion plans, and the remaining 5 stores slated for the second half of this year were delayed due to government mandated lockdowns and business closures.

    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

As retail entrepreneur, Gerry Harvey has achieved success not once but twice. He and business partner, Ian Norman started out in 1961 to establish the Norman Ross chain of stores which, by 1982, totalled 42 throughout New South Wales and Queensland. In 1982 Gerry and Ian Norman sold Norman Ross. October 1982 saw Gerry and Ian start Harvey Norman with one store in Auburn, Sydney. During the next fi ve years Gerry expanded the business to total 13 stores across New South Wales. The company fl oated in 1987 and this was the springboard for massive growth. Harvey Norman attributes its outstanding performance over the past 30 years to a successful integrated retail, franchise and property system. As at 31 December 2011, there were 216 franchised complexes throughout Australia trading under 3 brand names: Harvey Norman (185 complexes), Domayne (16 complexes) and Joyce Mayne (15 complexes). The retail offering in offshore markets has rapidly expanded over the past few years with 73 company-owned stores located in New Zealand (31 stores), Ireland (14 stores), Northern Ireland (2 stores), Singapore (13 stores), Malaysia (7 stores) and Slovenia (5 stores). In October 2011, we entered into the Croatian market and opened our fi rst store at Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
