Significant Accounting Policies
The Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception of the contract.
A lease conveys the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
from an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A lease liability and
corresponding lease asset are recognised at commencement of the lease.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments during the lease term that
are not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be
determined, at the Group's incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease term. Lease payments
(excluding non-lease components) include:
.
Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

As at 25 June 2023, the Group had committed to leases which had not yet commenced. Accordingly, these lease contracts
are not included in the calculation of the Group's lease liabilities. The Group has estimated that the potential future
lease payments for these lease contracts as at the end of the financial period, including the Group's contracts relating
to its Moorebank National and Regional Distribution Centres, would result in an increase in undiscounted lease liabilities
of $1,623 million (2022: $1,669 million).

•
Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;
•
Exercise price of a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise; and
.
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising
that option.
Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method. When there is a change in lease term or a change in future lease payments, lease liabilities
are remeasured, with a corresponding adjustment to lease assets.
Lease assets
Lease assets are initially measured at cost comprising the initial lease liability, any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date (less any lease incentives received), any initial direct
costs, and restoration costs. Lease assets are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. Lease assets are tested
for impairment in accordance with the policy for impairment of non-financial assets as disclosed
in Note 3.10.
Short-term leases
Short-term leases are those with a lease term of 12 months or less. The costs associated with these
leases are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred.
Holdover leases
In assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to extend or renew a lease in holdover, the
Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to remain
in the leased premises and whether a lease asset and lease liability should be recognised.
Variable lease payments
The Group has some property leases, which contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales
generated from a store and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in the
period in which it is incurred.
Non-lease components
The Group separates the non-lease components for property leases based on a residual method
using property outgoings market data and separates the non-lease components for other leases
based on the individual contract breakdown of these costs or otherwise best estimate of these costs.
Non-lease components of lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred and include items such as embedded property outgoings,
repairs and maintenance.
