Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Timing of recognition of deferred tax balances

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable they will be utilized against future taxable profits not arising from the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities. Judgment is required in determining the probability, timing and extent of the forecast future profits, particularly in tax jurisdictions where there is a history of losses.

The determination of future forecast profits uses operating budgets and strategic business plans based on management’s view of the expected long-term growth profile, adjusted for tax differences. The utilization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on future taxable profits in excess of the profits arising from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences (future taxable profits). The amount of deferred tax assets dependent on future taxable profits and which relate to tax jurisdictions where the taxable entities have suffered a loss in the current or preceding year was $237.2 million at 31 December 2021 (30 June 2021: $175.3 million). The Group also has $11.5 million in deferred tax assets which have not been recognised (30 June 2021: $9.3 million) as they are not considered probable to be recoverable based on current forecasts.

The inclusion of forward-looking information increases the degree of judgment required. Differences between the future profits of the Group (and the timing of these profits) and the tax positions in the financial report of the Group could necessitate future adjustments to the deferred tax balances recorded.

Recognized over time represents the consumer transactions completed by period end but earned over the collection period of the consumer receivables.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Judgement is applied in measuring the Provision for expected credit losses (ECL) and determining whether the risk of default has increased significantly since initial recognition of the Consumer receivable. The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information, including historical loss experience, internal expert risk assessment and data examination, and forward-looking information and analysis. Historical balances, as well as the proportion of those balances that have defaulted over time, are used as a basis to determine the probability of default.

The Group also considers forward looking adjustments, including macro-economic seasonality trends that are not captured within the base ECL calculations. The inclusion of forward-looking information increases the degree of judgment required to assess effects on the Group’s ECLs. COVID-19 continues to impact economies around the globe on both a micro- and macro-economic level. Consistent with 30 June 2021, the Group continues to review judgements, estimates and assumptions specific to the impact of COVID-19, where relevant, in the measurement of ECL. However, the Group’s collections subsequent to period end have not deteriorated relative to past experience.

The assumptions and methodologies applied are reviewed regularly.

Matrix Convertible Notes

On January 19, 2018, Afterpay US, Inc. issued two convertible notes to Matrix Partners X L.P and Weston & Co X LLC (Matrix Convertible Notes). The Matrix Convertible Notes carried a fixed interest rate of 6.0% for a seven year maximum term and could be converted into shares in Afterpay Limited (APT shares) in certain circumstances (subject to a cap) between five and seven years from the date of issue of the notes (being January 19, 2018).

On December 20, 2021, Afterpay entered into an agreement with the noteholders to fully extinguish the remaining 65% of the Matrix Convertible Notes for the issuance of 6,500,000 shares in Afterpay Limited, based on the valuation of Afterpay US, Inc determined in accordance with the Valuation Principles established within the Matrix Convertible Notes. The impact has been recognised directly in equity (see Note 10 for further details).

This follows the FY21 Matrix Transaction which resulted in the extinguishment of 35% of the Matrix Convertible Notes for $373.3 million in cash during the year ended June 30, 2021. As at December 31, 2021, the Matrix Convertible Notes have been fully extinguished.

SGX Convertible Notes

On March 12, 2021, Afterpay Limited completed the settlement of $1,500.0 million zero coupon convertible notes (SGX Convertible Notes). The SGX Convertible Notes are interest free and have a maximum term of five years. They can be converted into APT shares in certain circumstances (including a change of control of Afterpay) before the maturity date of March 12, 2026, with conversion at the noteholder’s election. On a change of control of Afterpay, the noteholders are entitled to either elect to have their SGX Convertible Notes redeemed for their face value ($1,500.0 million); or convert their SGX Convertible Notes to APT shares based on a formula which depends on the date the change of control occurs.

A change of control is deemed to have occurred on December 14, 2021 when the shareholders of Afterpay approved the Block transaction, and the conversion price based on this date was $141.00. As a result, the liability recorded at December 31, 2021 represents the present value of the notes that were expected to be fully redeemed for cash. The change in the value of the liability from June 30, 2021 has been recorded within finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In January 2022, $1.0 million in SGX Convertible Notes were converted into APT shares by note holders and the $1,499.0 million balance of the SGX Convertible Notes that remained outstanding was redeemed on March 4, 2022.

Clearpay Call Option

As part of the acquisition of 90% of the issued shares in Clearpay Finance Limited (Clearpay) from ThinkSmart Limited (ThinkSmart) in August 2018, Afterpay was granted a call option to acquire the remaining Clearpay shares held directly by ThinkSmart, which is exercisable any time after August 23, 2023 (Clearpay Call Option). If the Group does not exercise its call option within that period, then ThinkSmart has a put option to sell the remaining shares it holds in Clearpay to the Group.

Afterpay had the right to exercise the call option earlier than August 23, 2023 in the event of a change of control of either Afterpay or ThinkSmart. Subsequent to the change of control of Afterpay deemed to have occurred on December 17, 2021 (see Note 12), Afterpay reached an agreement with ThinkSmart for Afterpay to acquire the remaining 6.5% interest in Clearpay held by ThinkSmart in exchange for 1,650,000 fully paid ordinary APT shares (ThinkSmart Transaction).

The parties entered into a share purchase agreement to give effect to this agreement (ThinkSmart SPA) and at December 31, 2021, the ThinkSmart transaction remained subject to the approval of ThinkSmart shareholders. As a result, the valuation of Afterpay’s liability for the Clearpay Call Option was recorded by multiplying the agreed 1,650,000 shares by the closing APT share price on December 31, 2021 of $83.01. The ThinkSmart Transaction was approved by ThinkSmart shareholders in January 2022 and the Clearpay Call Option was subsequently settled. See Note 12 for further details.

Pagantis Convertible Note

On March 9, 2021 (the Pagantis Completion Date), the Group acquired 100% of the issued shares and voting rights in Pagantis SAU and PMT Technology SLA (collectively, Pagantis) from NBQ Corporate SLU (NBQ). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), the Group has issued a convertible note (the Pagantis Convertible Note) to NBQ or its permitted assignees (the Pagantis noteholders) with a face value of €40.3 million (€45.0 million less agreed SPA adjustments). The Pagantis Convertible Note will be used to settle the Pagantis Deferred Consideration and the Pagantis Contingent Consideration that will be paid in three (or, in certain circumstances, three-and-a-half) years subsequent to the Pagantis Completion Date. Conversion and payment may also be accelerated, at Afterpay’s election, if Afterpay is subject to a change of control pursuant to the Pagantis Convertible Note terms.

 

12


The face value of the Pagantis Convertible Note represents the Pagantis Deferred Consideration of €40.3 million and will be settled in cash. The remaining value of the Pagantis Convertible Note relates to the Pagantis Contingent Consideration, which is dependent on the future Equity Value of Pagantis at the settlement date. Afterpay has commenced discussions with the applicable counterparty in relation to the early settlement of the Pagantis Convertible Note, but no agreement has yet been reached as to the consideration to be paid based upon the underlying agreement. Now that Afterpay is no longer listed on the ASX, the Pagantis Convertible Note can only be settled in cash.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The Clearpay Call Option and Pagantis Contingent Consideration are recorded at fair value and the valuations are re-assessed at each reporting period. Because the valuations are determined using cash flow and other inputs that are not based on observable market data, they are considered to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as per IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Pagantis Contingent Consideration

The valuation of the Pagantis Contingent Consideration uses the valuation principles outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement and cash flow projections based on operating budgets which reflect management’s view of the expected long-term growth profile of the businesses.

The determination of cash flows over the life of a business requires management judgment in assessing the future number of merchant acquisitions, customer usage, potential price changes as well as any changes to the costs of the product and of other operating costs incurred by the business.

The valuation is then derived by discounting the cash flow projections to present value using discount rates that reflect current market conditions, external analyst views, industry benchmarks, and, where available, the underlying businesses cost of debt and/or equity.

Clearpay Call Option

The valuation of the Clearpay Call Option at 31 December 2021 was based on both an observable input (the APT share price) and an unobservable input (the number of shares issued, which was subject to Thinksmart shareholder approval). At 31 December 2021, the probability of the shareholders not approving the proposed 1,650,000 shares was considered remote.

Fair value measurement

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

 

   

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The following table summarises the levels of the fair value hierarchy for financial liabilities held at fair value:

Business combinations

Pagantis

On 9 March 2021 (the Pagantis Completion Date), the Group acquired 100% of the issued shares and voting rights in Pagantis SAU and PMT Technology SLA (collectively, Pagantis) from NBQ Corporate SLU (NBQ). The acquisition of Pagantis met the recognition criteria for consolidation from the Pagantis Completion Date.

NBQ will receive a minimum €45.3 million in consideration, paid or payable as follows:

 

   

Upfront consideration - €5 million in cash paid at completion;

 

   

Deferred consideration - €40.3 million payable in cash (Pagantis Deferred Consideration); and

 

   

Contingent consideration - if the equity value of Pagantis at the time of settlement exceeds €51.6 million, any excess is calculated using a sliding scale payable (Pagantis Contingent Consideration).

Both the deferred consideration and the contingent consideration will be settled in cash with the Pagantis Convertible Note (see Note 6) up to 3.5 years post completion.

The transaction resulted in the acquisition of net liabilities with a fair value of $26,000 and goodwill of $73.9 million. At the Pagantis Completion Date, the goodwill comprised the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, as well as the value attributed to the existing Pagantis workforce, which was not able to be separately recognised under the criteria established in IAS 38 Intangible Assets (IAS 38). The goodwill was allocated to the Clearpay EU CGU and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Share-based payment plans

During the half year ended December 31, 2021, the Group operated share-based payment plans across the following instruments:

 

   

Awards over APT equity comprising of options and restricted stock units (RSUs) under the Group’s Afterpay Equity Incentive Plan;

 

   

Awards over APT equity comprising of options, loan shares and performance rights under the Group’s legacy remuneration plan, the Afterpay Employee Incentive Plan (which was adopted prior to listing in July 2017);

 

   

Equity in APT issued to participating employees in the Group’s Employee Share Matching Plan which was launched in November 2020;

 

   

Equity in Afterpay US, Inc. (a subsidiary of Afterpay Limited) under the Afterpay US, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (US ESOP); and

 

   

Equity in Clearpay Finance Limited (Clearpay) (a subsidiary of Afterpay Limited) under the Clearpay Finance Limited 2020 Share Option Plan (UK ESOP).

The impacts of the acquisition by Block (see Note 12) have not been reflected in the share-based payment plans of the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2021.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using the Binomial Model. The fair value of options is determined in accordance with the fair market value of the shares available at the grant date.

The value of the US and UK businesses are a significant estimate used to determine the fair value of the options issued under the UK and US ESOPs and the fair value of the share-based payments component of the Matrix Convertible Notes. These fair values are determined by valuations conducted by independent valuers using cash flow projections based on operating budgets which reflect management’s view of the expected long-term growth profile of the businesses. The determination of cash flows over the life of a business requires management judgment in assessing the future number of merchant acquisitions, customer usage, potential price changes as well as any changes to the costs of the product and of other operating costs incurred by the business. The valuations are then derived by discounting the cash flow projections to present value using discount rates that reflect current market conditions, external analyst views, industry benchmarks, and, where available, the underlying businesses cost of debt and/or equity.

Granted during the year includes 3,852 share rights that were awarded under the Afterpay Share Matching Plan (FY20: 3,852).

Upon completion of the acquisition of Afterpay by Block (see Note 12), awards over APT equity granted before August 2, 2021 vested immediately on a ‘pro-rata basis’ based on the proportion of the original vesting period that has elapsed at the acquisition date of January 31, 2022 (measured based on the number of completed months). Any unvested awards remaining were forfeited and, on the acquisition date, Block granted Block awards of comparable form and value to the forfeited Afterpay awards. These Block replacement awards will generally vest on the same vesting schedule as the original Afterpay awards (subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date), except that, for administrative convenience, certain Block replacement awards will have vesting dates that align with the vesting dates of other equity awards granted to Block employees.

The Afterpay Board elected that all vested Afterpay share options were automatically exercised prior to the Record Date of January 21, 2022.

The exercise price for options granted is set on a periodic basis by reference to a third-party valuation of Afterpay US, Inc. which is conducted for US tax purposes.

2.

This number includes options that have been exercised early but remain subject to vesting and a re-purchase right by Afterpay US, Inc. (Restricted US Shares)

Upon completion of the acquisition of Afterpay by Block (see Note 12):

 

   

Unvested US Options or Restricted US Shares vested at the acquisition date on a ‘pro-rata basis’ based on the proportion of the original vesting period that had elapsed at the acquisition date (measured based on the number of completed months). Any unvested US Options or Restricted US Shares which remained outstanding were forfeited and replaced with Block Inc.’s Options or Restricted Block Stock of comparable value to the forfeited US Options or Restricted US Shares (as applicable).

Vested US Options and Restricted US Shares (including any US Options or Restricted Shares that vested on an pro-rata basis, as described above), were canceled and converted into a right to receive Block Class A Shares. The number of Block Class A Shares received was determined by multiplying the aggregate value of vested US Options or Restricted US Shares (as applicable) by the Afterpay US Exchange Ratio (which was equal to the ratio of the fair market value of an Afterpay US Inc. share over the value of a Block Class A Share).

The number of Block Options or Restricted Block Stock granted in respect of forfeited US Options or Restricted US Shares (as applicable) was determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to the forfeited US Option or Restricted US Shares by the Afterpay US Exchange Ratio (which was equal to the ratio of the fair market value of an Afterpay US share, as determined by the settlement of the Matrix Convertible Notes (see Note 5)), rounded down to the nearest share in the case of US Options and up to the nearest share in the case of Restricted US Shares. The exercise price for Block Options was determined by dividing the exercise price of the forfeited US Option by the Afterpay US Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest whole cent.

Matrix Convertible Notes

The settlement of the Matrix Convertible Notes (see Note 5) was determined to be a modification of a share-based payment arrangement and the remaining share-based payment expense relating to the original award was accelerated. The fair value of the original award was determined with reference to the equity value of Afterpay US, Inc. at the modification date and the impact has been recorded directly in equity.

UK Options continued to vest in the ordinary course, subject to the original vesting schedule. Subsequent to the settlement of the Clearpay Call Option (see Note 12), vested UK Options were exercised and replaced with APT shares. Further details are included in Note 12.

Upon completion of the acquisition of Afterpay by Block Inc. (see Note 12), unvested UK Options were forfeited and replaced with Block Options of comparable value to forfeited UK Options. The number of Block Options granted in respect of forfeited UK Options was determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to the forfeited UK Option by the Afterpay UK Exchange Ratio (which was equal to the ratio of the fair market value of a Clearpay share, as determined by the settlement of the Clearpay Call Option (see Note 6), over the value of a Block Class A Share) rounded down to the nearest whole share. The exercise price was determined by dividing the exercise price of the forfeited UK Option by the Afterpay UK Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest whole cent.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Details of contingent liabilities and contingent assets where the probability of future payments is not considered remote are set out below as well as details of contingent liabilities, which although considered remote, the Company considers should be disclosed as they are not disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the financial statements.

 

(a)

Legal commitments and claims

Claims can be raised by customers and suppliers against the Group in the ordinary course of business. To the extent that a future outflow is probable and able to be reliably estimated, a liability has been recorded.

 

(b)

Bank guarantees

The Group had entered into bank guarantee arrangements totalling $6.1 million relating to the Group’s normal business operations (June 30, 2021: $6.0 million).

 

(c)

Lease commitments

In December 2021, Afterpay entered a lease agreement for a commercial office in Sydney, Australia. The lease agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the finalization of the development of the Brewery Yard building, which is expected to be completed by 2023. As a result, no lease liability or right of use asset has been recognised as of December 31, 2021. The term of the arrangement is for five years, with an extension option, and gross lease payments are expected to total $17.3 million.

 

(d)

Funding commitment

In December 2021, a financial institution committed to underwrite the subscription for the settlement of the SGX Convertible notes (see Note 5) for an aggregate amount of up to $1,500.0 million. This commitment was canceled on January 31, 2022 upon completion of the Block acquisition (Note 12).

Events occurring after the reporting period

With the exception of the items listed below, the Company is not aware of any other matters or circumstances that have arisen since December 31, 2021 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

 

(a)

Acquisition by Block, Inc. (formerly Square, Inc.)

On January 31, 2022 (February 1, 2022 Australian Eastern Daylight Time) (the acquisition date), Block completed the acquisition of Afterpay. In connection with the acquisition, Block issued 113,387,895 shares of Block’s Class A common stock with an aggregate fair value of $19.6 billion (US$13.9 billion) based on the closing price of Block’s Class A common stock on the acquisition date.

The acquisition has resulted in a number of modifications to Afterpay’s existing share-based payment arrangements, which are explained in more detail in Note 10.

Upon acquisition, Afterpay ceased to be a listed company on the ASX.

 

(b)

Settlement of Clearpay Call Option

In January 2022, ThinkSmart shareholders approved Afterpay’s offer to acquire the 3,900,000 fully paid B ordinary shares in the capital of Clearpay held directly by ThinkSmart in exchange for 1,650,000 fully paid ordinary APT shares (ThinkSmart Transaction).

 

(c)

Exchange of vested US and UK ESOP awards

Subject to the settlement of the Matrix Convertible Note (Note 5) and the Clearpay Call Option (Note 6), Afterpay:

 

   

exchanged all vested shares in the US ESOP. This resulted in 2,227,976 shares in Afterpay US, Inc. being exchanged for 2,018,749 APT shares. The exchange was determined to be a modification of a share-based payment arrangement. The fair value of the original award was determined with reference to the equity value of Afterpay US, Inc. at the modification date and the impact will be recognised directly in equity.

 

   

exchanged all options in the UK ESOP that were vested on the date the settlement of the Clearpay Call Option was agreed on a ‘pro-rata basis’ based on the proportion of the then current vesting period that had elapsed. This resulted in 1,693,162 options in Clearpay UK being exchanged for 397,568 APT shares (net of exercise prices and tax). The exchange was determined to be a modification of a share-based payment arrangement. The fair value of the original award will be determined with reference to the equity value of Clearpay UK at the modification date and the impact will be recognised directly in equity.

 

(d)

Settlement of SGX Convertible Notes

The SGX Convertible Notes (Note 5) with an outstanding principal amount of $1,499.0 million were fully redeemed by the noteholders on March 4, 2022.
