Changes in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are recognized within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

The Company does not carry any further financial instruments at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The derivative assets and liabilities are reflected in the statements of financial position within other assets, other current assets and other financial liabilities.

 

The fair value of the redemption feature embedded in the New Senior Notes (See Note 12 - Loans and borrowings for additional information on the New Senior Notes) is determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation. Under this approach, both risk-free interest rates and credit spreads are simulated using a one-factor Hull-White model. Observable market inputs comprise the risk-free yield

curve and market-quoted swap option volatilities. Unobservable inputs include credit spread rates and credit spread volatilities. The latter is estimated based on the historical volatility of credit spread rates observed over a two-year period.

 

The change in valuation technique to the Monte Carlo simulation provides a more flexible and refined valuation approach for redemption features with multiple potential exercise dates.

 

For the fair value of the embedded derivative asset, reasonably possible changes as at June 30, 2026 to one of the significant unobservable and observable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects:

Financial risk management

 

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

 

Capital management

 

The board of directors of the Company monitors the Company’s capital management on a regular basis. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and capacity and adjusts within the context of the Company’s strategy, economic conditions, and risk characteristics of the business.
