Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022CHAIR’S  
REPORT

2

It is a pleasure to report to shareholders a 
solid result in this, my first year as chair 
of Boom Logistics. 

Melanie Allibon 
Chair

Our people and operations delivered 
high‑quality revenue growth as we 
expanded our market positions across the 
renewables, mining maintenance, energy and 
infrastructure sectors. I would like to thank 
our people, who have persevered despite 
the necessary health constraints, delays 
and border closures associated with the 
COVID‑19 pandemic.  

Net profit increased to $3.8 million from 
$1.2 million in the previous year, the most 

significant profit in the past decade and 
continuing the positive trend of growth. 
This demonstrated the continued strength 
of the company’s strategy, which is focused 
on developing revenue streams with 
acceptable margins in growth sectors and 
investing in assets to capitalise on new 
business opportunities.

Some of the company’s successful projects 
during the year included providing lifting 
assets and engineering solutions for the 
SCM21 BHP Olympic Dam shutdown, the

for shareholders while prioritising 
growth opportunities that strengthen 
the business.

Although we cannot with certainty 
predict the effects of global inflation 
and geopolitical challenges on the 
Australian economy, the opportunities 
in the markets that we serve 
are significant. 

The renewables sector is a key 
growth area for the company and we 
have proven expertise in wind farm 
installation. Growth in renewables is 
expected to accelerate as concerns 
for climate change and cleaner energy 
drive market segments and Boom 
intends to leverage this. 

The company has continued to invest 
in assets to rejuvenate its fleet and 
support growth, taking advantage of 
its capital recycling program to manage 
investment in new assets to service 
existing contracts and new projects. A 
strong pipeline of tender opportunities 
across our most significant markets 
provides optimism for the continued 
expansion of the business.

We also recognise the importance 
of sound environmental, social and 
governance (ESG) practices as part 
of our responsibility to shareholders 
and clients and have commenced the 
process of transitioning toward an 
overarching ESG framework.

Capital management

To take advantage of the 
opportunities and create enduring 
value for our shareholders we are 
balancing investment in existing 
and new business with profit and 
dividend growth. 

In FY22, the company paid $6.4 million 
in dividends. While we understand 
that investors appreciate receiving 
income from dividends, we have 
consistently received feedback from 
our shareholders that the Board 
should focus on maximising returns 

We have taken the decision not to pay 
a final dividend this year as we perceive 
that the company is at an inflexion 
point of growth and needs to invest in 
assets and maintain sufficient capital 
in order to seize the opportunities that 
are ahead. The Board will continue 
to consider all capital management 
initiatives including future dividends.

The company has delivered a good 
result and now requires assets to 
consolidate its growth opportunities 
and strengthen its position. We have 
focused on investing in new assets and 
capabilities to generate medium‑ to 
long‑term shareholder value. As well 
as organic growth, we may consider 
selective acquisitions where they 
complement our growth strategy. 

Gearing continues to be in the range 
approved by the Board and the 
company has a sound balance sheet 
which allows flexibility.

Board composition

During the year, there have been 
significant changes to the composition 
of the Board. I succeeded Max Findlay 
as independent, non‑executive chair 
immediately following the 2021 Annual 
General Meeting, and I would like to 
acknowledge and thank him for his 
years of service. I would also like to 
thank Jack Hebiton, who retired from 
the Board in November 2021. He was 
the first chief executive officer of Boom 
Logistics and served as a director for 
more than twenty years.

We have continued to deepen the 
sector and experience skill sets of the 
Board and in November 2021 welcomed 
Damian Banks and James Scott as non‑
executive directors.

Mr Banks brings to the Board 
substantial financial services, health 
and employment sector expertise. 
He is a non‑executive director of 
ASX‑listed IMEXHS Limited and ICS 

Global Limited. Prior, he was managing 
director and CEO of Konekt Limited 
and his previous experience includes a 
15‑year career and several leadership 
positions with Westpac Banking 
Corporation. His experience includes the 
development and profitable expansion 
of business, a strong track record in 
customer‑focused culture development 
and M&A experience.

Mr Scott joins the Board with over 
26 years’ media, telecommunications 
and technology sector experience. He is 
a non‑executive director of ASX‑listed 
Integrated Research Limited, chairman 
of MerchantWise Group, chairman 
of Seisma Pty Ltd and non‑executive 
director of Orbx. His prior roles include 
managing director of Accenture Digital, 
partner in KPMG’s Advisory division and 
Chief Operating Officer of Seven Group 
Holdings Limited. He was a founder 
and director of Imagine Broadband 
Limited and was a director of WesTrac 
and Coates Hire during his time with 
Seven Group. 

In closing

I thank our shareholders for their 
continued support. We have worked 
hard to improve the company, building 
on the successful delivery of projects 
and services in existing contracts and 
actively developing a strong pipeline of 
new growth opportunities. 

It has been a good year for Boom 
Logistics under the leadership of Tony 
Spassopoulos and his committed 
management team. Our operations are 
in good shape, performance has been 
strong with significant revenue growth 
and we have a sound balance sheet. 
The company is diversifying, securing 
market share, harnessing benefits from 
more effective allocation of assets, 
disposing of older assets and focusing 
on streams of profitable business 
growth. The company is poised to make 
the most of the opportunities before it 
and we look forward to creating future 
value for our shareholders.

I would like to thank our people, who have persevered 
despite the necessary health constraints, delays and 
border closures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

FY22 was a year in which our strategy to grow in 
diverse market sectors with our crane services, 
project work, travel towers and engineering 
solutions delivered a stronger result. 

Tony Spassopoulos 
Managing Director

Developing a strong 
Environmental, Social and 
Governance culture

Boom is committed to building a proactive 
safety culture across the business. We 
maintain our focus on safety by ensuring 
everyone understands and builds risk 
awareness into their everyday work 
activity and by encouraging the active 
involvement of our managers and

supervisors with employees on site. Our 
Safe Act Observations Frequency Rate 
(SAOFR), which measures the number of 
safety‑related interactions in the field, 
increased to 10,039 in FY22, up from 
8,242 in the previous year, an increase of 
22%. This highlights the health, safety and 
wellbeing culture within Boom is evolving. 

This year the total recordable injury 
frequency rate (TRIFR) was 8.7 per 
million hours worked, above the record 
of 5.1 per million hours worked set in the 
previous year. We consider safety to be a

key performance indicator for the 
company and remain committed 
to our ultimate goal of zero 
injuries. COVID Safe practices are 
implemented across our business.

Environmental, Social and Governance 
(ESG) is a significant focus going 
forward and we are transitioning to 
an overarching ESG framework in 
order to drive meaningful progress 
as part of Boom’s ESG strategy. We 
have developed an ESG Charter and 
we are formalising our commitment 
to climate change and emission 
reduction targets.

Financial overview

This was a stronger result, tripling 
the net profit of the previous year 
while delivering improvements in 
service quality for our customers. 
Earnings before interest and tax 
(EBIT) was $7.1 million, an increase of 
58% on $4.5 million in the previous 
year. We performed well despite the 
constraints of the COVID‑19 pandemic 
including labour shortages, increased 
supply chain costs and fluctuating 
project start times which led to higher 

costs. Earnings before interest, 
tax, amortisation and depreciation 
(EBITDA) was $41.6 million, up 15% in 
the previous year. 

Revenue increased to $215.8 million, 
an increase of 25% on the previous 
year, as we benefited from several 
large shutdowns including the 
Smelter Campaign Maintenance 2021 
Project (SCM21) BHP Olympic Dam 
shutdown, and major wind farm and 
infrastructure projects. Importantly, 
we were successful in winning new 
projects and gained incremental 
work from existing customers, 
and operational cash flow before 
tax increased to $37.6 million from 
$25.9 million in the previous year. 

Return on capital employed 
improved to 4.1% from 2.5% in the 
previous year. 

Capital recycling

We have focused on reinvesting 
capital to rejuvenate our fleet as 
well as using a flexible asset rental 
model to fund growth. This is a key 
component of our growth strategy. 

The Boom values are an uncompromising foundation 
of our organisation, guiding our decisions, our 
behaviours and the way we do business.

We implemented rental agreements 
to service short‑term projects, with 
leased assets to support contracted 
work and can sustain a high rate of 
utilisation. The flow of project work 
does not occur evenly through the 
year and our rental model provides 
flexibility and reduces significant 
capital employed on major projects.

Net capital expenditure was 
$16.8 million, up from $14.7 million 
in the previous year, continuing the 
company’s investment in new assets 
to facilitate new growth opportunities 
and build a portfolio of sustainable 
work. The new large travel towers 
ordered in late FY21 were delayed 
in transit and will commence being 
deployed in early FY23. Total asset 
utilisation was 81%, continuing our 
track record of improvement, up from 
77% in the previous year.

Our newer fleet also provides a range 
of benefits such as higher operational 
efficiency, lower maintenance costs,

Diversification

Our strategy to broaden services 
is focused on strong, diversified 
and growing markets that provide 
opportunities for our installation, 
engineering services and 
project management expertise. 
Diversification enables us to 
capitalise on growth opportunities 
in the renewable energy and 
infrastructure markets while building 
recurring revenue streams with our 
mining maintenance programs.

350+
ASSETS

ACROSS AUSTRALIA

During the year, we experienced 
strong revenue growth in the energy 
and renewables sectors ($43 million, 
up 10%), mining sector ($116 million, 
up 43%) and infrastructure sector 
($31 million, up 34%). Industrial 
maintenance work was steady and 
telecommunications activity declined 
due to pandemic and weather‑related 
constraints. 

Crane services

We have developed significant 
engineering expertise providing lifting 
solutions, cranes and crews, and 
management on mine sites supporting 
recurring revenue streams including 
maintenance and shutdowns.

In FY22 this included the SCM21 
shutdown in South Australia, a major 
project which contributed $17.9 million 
in revenue, and maintenance 
works and shutdowns for various 
contracted customers. 

Our portfolio increased with contract 
renewals and growing demand 
from mining clients, particularly in 
Queensland and Western Australia.

Projects

Another sector where we have gained 
expertise is renewable energy, where 
we completed the Coopers Gap 
wind farm installation and are well 
advanced on the Bango wind farm 
project. At Bango we have carried 
out the lifting to construct 46 wind 
turbine generators. This included a 
hub height of 121 metres. The height 
of wind turbines is increasing with 
the amount of power that they 
generate, requiring the specialised 
assets and skills that we provide. 
We are also experiencing growth in 
wind farm maintenance works such 
as replacing blades, gearboxes and 
pitch bearings.

Infrastructure services work increased 
significantly, with works continuing 
at Snowy 2.0 where we increased 
our scope of work, and bridge 

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022installations and rail construction 
at Parramatta Light Rail, Martinus 
Rail, Armadale Road Bridge were 
completed. New and high‑quality 
projects secured included sections 
of the Sydney Gateway project, 
Waterloo station, Parkes Special 
Activation Precinct, Cross River Rail 
and Western Australian works. 

Travel Towers

Our travel towers business 
supports the power transmission, 
telecommunications and wind energy 
sectors. We have improved the 
performance and capability of these 
operations with the divestment of 
older assets and the acquisition of 
new large‑scale assets.

Our travel towers undertook the 
installation of the 220kv transmission 
line in the Western Australia Pilbara 
region which will integrate port 
and mining operations across a 
single network. Our work has been 
extended to include installation of 
285 high‑voltage towers. We also 
secured lifting work associated 
with South Australian high‑voltage 
interconnector project which will link 
with the New South Wales power grid.

Telecommunications sector work 
slowed with state government 
lockdowns, east coast wet weather 
and rescheduling of works. While 
some constraints have lifted, work is 
expected to ramp up in early 2023.

Management systems 

Ongoing COVID restrictions such as 
site and state border closures which 
restricted travel, required thorough 
planning to maintain productivity 
and meet our customer needs. 
We continued to use cloud‑based 
technologies to manage projects and 
maintain workplace flexibility.

The company was targeted in a cyber 
security incident which involved 

unauthorised access to its IT systems. 
Immediate action was taken, 
activating business continuity plans 
and processes. Our systems proved 
resilient and were restored safely as 
we acted to ensure the safety and 
security of our people, customers and 
supply partners. Total incident‑related 
support costs of $320,000 were 
incurred in this year’s result. 

People

Our people are our strength, and 
throughout the year we prioritised 
and ensured our teams were safe 
despite pandemic‑related business 
disruptions and restrictions, which 
increased costs. Boom Logistics’ 
employees include dedicated and 
skilled people with substantial field 
and industry experience. We are 
focused on employee retention and 
initiatives include leadership training 
programs, apprenticeships and 
development of Indigenous programs. 

We are committed to retaining and 
recruiting the best talent to ensure 
business growth and performance 
and to advance diversity across 
our business. 

Outlook

We operate in diversified and growing 
markets. We have a strong tender 
pipeline of opportunities across the 
renewables, mining maintenance, 
energy and infrastructure sectors 
over the next three years. 

While the mining maintenance 
shutdowns we expect in FY23 are 
smaller than those we serviced in 
FY22 (which included the SCM21 
project), we are well positioned to win 
new contracted maintenance work. 
We have a number of wind farm 
projects and maintenance services 
tenders underway, and demand 
for mining sector services remains 
strong, particularly in Queensland 
and Western Australia. Work from 
the interconnector and energy 

$7.1m

EBIT

infrastructure sectors is continuing 
and we remain positive that our 
growth supporting civil engineering 
road and rail bridge projects will 
continue. Telecommunications sector 
work is expected to remain steady. 

As the SCM21 major shutdown 
serviced in the first half of FY22 
will not repeat in FY23, and due to 
deferred project start dates and 
supply chain challenges, we expect 
that 1H FY23 revenue and earnings 
will be below 1H FY22. 

The markets in which we operate 
are expected to continue long‑term 
sustained growth. We anticipate new 
projects to ramp up resulting in a 
stronger 2H FY23, with the delivery 
of new assets and improvement in 
skilled labour availability. On this basis, 
the group expects continued profit 
growth in FY23. 

We are reinvesting in the business to 
increase our competitive advantage, 
tender for significant projects and 
grow our pipeline of new work. We 
are confident this will drive long‑term 
value creation for our shareholders. 

I take this opportunity to welcome 
Melanie Allibon as the new Chair of 
Boom Logistics Limited and thank 
the Board for their ongoing support 
during FY22. 

In closing, I would like to thank 
our customers in trusting Boom 
in providing safe lifting solutions 
and services, and finally, our 
valued employees for their hard 
work, dedicated customer service, 
responsiveness and resilience over 
the past year. 

The markets in which we operate 
are expected to continue long-term 
sustained growth.

The Group reported a net profit after tax of $3.8 million for the year ended 
30 June 2022 (FY21: net profit after tax of $1.2 million). The result builds on last 
year’s return to profitability for the Group despite the ongoing headwinds caused 
by COVID‑19. The ability to transit labour across state borders was significantly 
disrupted, along with delays to mining maintenance shutdown work and infrastructure projects.

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022$37.6m

Revenue

Reported revenue was $215.8 million (FY21: $173.3 million), 
representing a 25% improvement on the prior year. Multiple 
wind farm installation projects, mining maintenance 
shutdowns, and continued Snowy 2.0 infrastructure work 
contributed to revenues during the period. The SCM21 BHP 
Olympic Dam major shutdown project also occurred during 
FY22, which delivered strong sales of $17.9 million. 

Earnings

On the back of the improved revenue, earnings before 
interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortisation 
(EBITDA) of $41.6 million (FY21: $36.3 million) was a 15% 
improvement. Earnings before interest expense and tax 
(EBIT) improved 58% to $7.1 million (FY21: $4.5 million).

All up borrowing costs were held constant at $3.3 million 
despite higher average net debt levels. This allowed all the 
EBIT upside to translate into a profit after tax of $3.8 million 
(FY21: $1.2 million). 

The Group maintains a positive outlook and expects 
continued successful execution of its strategy to increase 
profitability further and generate improved returns on 
capital based on:

	■ Building on the recurring revenue in mining maintenance 
by continuing to secure market share in the Central 
Queensland and Western Australian markets. 

	■ Participating in the growing opportunity in high‑voltage 
and energy projects associated with improvements and 
upgrades to the electricity grid.

13

	■ Winning installation contracts of new wind farms being 

planned to start in the 2H FY23.

	■ Capitalising on the major infrastructure pipeline which 
has been somewhat delayed due to COVID‑19 impacts 
but is now likely to ramp up over the coming years.

	■ The return of travel tower work in the metropolitan cities 

to pre‑COVID‑19 levels.

The business has continued to invest in new capital 
equipment to deliver the organic growth we have enjoyed 
during FY22 with the expectation this will continue. The 
Group will also continue to seek opportunities to diversify its 
earnings through aligned services that will complement the 
capital‑intensive nature of its core operations. 

Taxation

Income tax expense in the year was zero as the Group 
utilised franking deficit tax paid to offset income tax 
payable. In FY20, a tax expense of $4.45 million was 
incurred related to a historic franking deficit tax liability. 

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022OPERATING AND 
FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Only the final instalment of $0.185 million due in July 22 was 
outstanding at the reporting date.

14

Twelve payments under this plan were made this year, with 
repayments being available to offset against future taxable 
profits, in addition to the $31.2 million (net), $104 million 
(gross) of tax losses that are also available to offset against 
future taxable profits. 

Cash Flow

Cash flow provided by operating activities before tax and 
rental costs was $37.6 million (FY21: $25.9 million). This was 
a solid cash flow result. 

Given the improving profitability of the Group and the strong 
outlook in key markets, the Group applied operating cash 
primarily to fund increased investment in new crane assets 
to support growth. 

The Group also funded one and half cents of dividend 
payments during the year. The first payment, made in 
November 2021, was the FY21 final dividend of one cent. The 
second payment, the FY22 interim dividend of a half a cent 
was paid in April 2022. Dividend payments of $6.4 million 
were paid to shareholders during FY22. 

 In light of various growth opportunities before the 
company, the Board has resolved to reinvest in the 
company to support its strategy for growth and creation of 
shareholder value. 

Balance Sheet

Net assets at 30 June 2022 were $110.2 million, down from 
$112.7 million at 30 June 2021. The movement reflects the 
profit generated in the period offset by $6.4 million of 
dividends paid to shareholders in the year.

Return on capital employed was 4.1%, compared with 2.5% 
in the prior year. The return has improved as the Group has 
strictly allowed reinvestment in capital only where there is 
enhanced payback.

Returns are forecast to further improve in FY23 as the 
capital investment in assets made towards the end of FY22 
delivers a full‑year impact. 

The increased net capital expenditure in FY22 of 
$16.8 million has raised the balance sheet gearing net debt 
(interest bearing borrowings plus finance lease liabilities less 
cash)/ total equity] to 29% (30 June 2021: 26%), allowing 
capacity for further growth.

Capital Management

Boom is committed to delivering efficient capital 
management outcomes that provide value to our 
shareholders, support our customers, bring innovation 
to our service offering and maintain the highest levels of 
safety performance.

Our strategy of diversifying revenue streams and increasing 
our portion of recurring revenue in maintenance work is 
producing enhanced profits. To continue improving results, 
Boom is reinvesting in its fleet of operating assets to meet 
the highest customer service standards. Investment in 
the fleet is essential to maintain existing contracts and 
importantly to deliver growth in our key markets:

	■ Mining Maintenance – Boom continues to win market 
share with mining and resources customers in key 
geographies, being both major resource companies 
and other mining services suppliers. These customers 
often have specific requirements for assets deployed 
on contracts, being equipment age or particular safety 
systems. Boom must continue to invest in its fleet, 
upholding the highest standards of safety for our people 
and our customers. 

	■ Energy Sector – The opportunities available in the 

energy sector is a significant growth market for Boom. 
Access to new equipment and additional capacity will 
allow Boom to grow revenue in the energy market as 
significant electricity grid upgrade projects are required 
over the coming years. 

	■ Renewables – Boom utilises its low capital rental 

model to access large cranes suitable for the wind farm 
installation and maintenance markets. The wind farm 
installation pipeline remains strong over the next three 
years with the maintenance market providing a growing 
opportunity as more turbines are commissioned. The 
Group is also expanding its service offering in the 
maintenance market by adding low capital value‑added 
maintenance services.

	■ Infrastructure – The Group’s asset rental model plays 
a central role in capturing growth in this market with 
rented assets supported by smaller assets and people 
sourced from Boom’s national depot footprint.

The increase in capital expenditure during the year was 
targeted to deliver growth and improve returns on capital in 
Boom’s key markets. Capital was invested during the year 
in assets to support Olympic Dam’s SCM21 FY22 program 
of works and to deliver growth in Western Australia and 
Central Queensland, where new revenue and contracts are 
being targeted. New large Bronto travel tower assets were 
ordered and arrived in June 22. The delivery of these assets 
was impacted by international shipping delays. These travel 
towers will help underpin growth in the high‑voltage energy 
sector in FY23. 

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022Debt Facilities

FY22 Review of Operations

The Group had a solid year in an environment that continues 
to be impeded by the ongoing impacts of COVID‑19. State 
border and site restrictions hampered operations across 
the customer base. Major impacts felt in the mining and 
infrastructure sectors, with telecommunications work in the 
metro areas also affected during periods of lockdown and 
recent wet weather events on the east coast. 

15

Mining and Resources

Revenue in mining and resources was up $34.8 million 
in the year. The occurrence of the SCM21 major smelter 
shutdown project at Olympic Dam contributed $17.9 million 
of revenue in addition to the Group’s on‑going long‑term 
maintenance contract for the site. Despite the significant 
headwinds created by COVID‑19 delays, site restrictions and 
labour shortages caused by border closures, the project was 
successfully completed. 

Regular maintenance work in Central Queensland was 
strong, with Boom building on its excellent relationship 
with customers in the region. Extending and expanding 
our relationship with Anglo American, a major project was 
undertaken in 1H FY22 at Anglo’s Aquila mine site to partner 
with Fenner Dunlop in constructing a new stacker conveyor. 

The investments in new equipment during the year were 
supported by a combination of the finance arrangements 
that the Group entered into with ScotPac in December 2020, 
combined with long‑standing facilities with Equipment 
Financer De Lage Landen Pty Limited. 

Balance Sheet Gearing

To maintain the equipment fleet, the Group considered the 
gearing range of between 20‑35% to be appropriate for 
the reporting period. Gearing is defined as group interest‑
bearing loans and borrowings plus finance lease liabilities 
divided by total equity. At 30 June 2022, the gearing ratio 
was 29% (30 June 2021: 26%). The increase to gearing was 
appropriate given the availability of long‑term committed 
debt facilities and the strong pipeline of work in FY22 
(including the SCM21 major shutdown contract award) and 
growth opportunities in FY23. 

The Group will target gearing within the existing Board 
approved range, although it may seek approval for deviation 
from this having consideration to:

	■ Outlook for the Group’s key markets and wider 

economic circumstances;

	■ Customer requirements and opportunities to invest 
in new equipment for growth that will provide an 
appropriate return on capital invested;

	■ Acquisition opportunities that will complement and 
grow the Group’s core activities in key markets; 

	■ On‑going requirement to replace and maintain the core 
fleet. The current average fleet age is 10.7 years. The 
Group’s long‑term target is to maintain a fleet with an 
average age below 10 years;

	■ Proceeds realised from ongoing capital recycling of older, 
less productive equipment to reinvest in new assets with 
enhanced technology and safety systems, reduce fleet 
maintenance costs, improve fuel efficiency and increase 
overall fleet utilisation;

	■ Operating free cash flow1 generated by the Group in any 

period; and 

The Group may deviate from the guidelines above to 
capitalise on opportunities that deliver strong returns on 
capital. Over the short and medium term this approach will 
ensure that Boom is well positioned to deliver sound risk 
adjusted returns to investors through capital appreciation, 
maintain a fleet of equipment to service our customers 
through market cycles and contribute to a safe working 
environment for our people and customers.

1  Operating free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating 
activities less net repayment of lease liabilities (included in cash 
flows from financing activities).

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022OPERATING AND 
FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

The Group also won a significant shutdown project for BMA 
that was undertaken in the first half. Upon successfully 
completing this project, Boom was then able to secure 
ongoing recurring revenue with this customer. The Group 
continued to support Glencore with maintenance works 
during the year. 

16

In the Western Australian region, the Group benefited 
from a full year of revenue under the maintenance contract 
signed with FQM Australia (Nickel) in FY21, Alcoa and the 
Boddington Gold Mine. The Group continues its expansion in 
the North West from the Port Hedland branch, working on 
mining maintenance and new infrastructure projects. 

Work on contracts in the Hunter Valley region of NSW 
remained relatively consistent. New work was won at 
the BHP Mt Arthur site. Multiple events of unusually 
large rainfalls in the region impacted our ability to get 
onto customer’s sites to perform the normal operating 
maintenance cycle. However, the market in the Hunter Valley 
remains challenging with low margins as customers seek to 
reduce costs notwithstanding the region’s high labour costs. 

The Group remains confident that the market share gains 
made in Central Queensland and Western Australia are 
sustainable and will continue in FY23.

Wind, Energy and Utilities

Revenue in the Wind, Energy and Utilities segment was up 
$3.5m on the prior year. 

The Group supplied lifting services to undertake an 
installation project at Bango wind farm. The timing of this 
project was extended and is planned to be completed in Q1 
FY23. The pipeline of wind farm installation remains strong, 
albeit the commencement of some new projects have 
been deferred to 2H FY23 due to global supply chain issues 
impacting materials access. 

In addition to the installation work, Boom continued to 
grow its revenue in the wind farm maintenance sector. 
Boom completed significant maintenance work in the year 
that involved supplying large mobile assets and specialist 
crews to replace blades, gearboxes, and pitch bearings. 
Our large mobile heavy crane fleet is well placed to service 
the growing number of wind farms requiring regular 
maintenance activities. The maintenance sector is a growing 
opportunity for the Group, with an expanding range of 
services offered to clients to complement the core services 
that utilise Boom’s skilled wind farm crews, large cranes, 
and travel towers.

There is also a strong pipeline of work in energy projects 
that typically utilise Boom’s fleet of large travel towers. 
During the year, Boom continued to work with Powerlines 
Plus to install a 220kv transmission line in the Pilbara 
region of Western Australia. Boom is well placed to secure 

additional work in FY23 and similar major projects on the 
east coast. 

The energy market is a growing opportunity, and the Group 
purchased large‑scale Bronto travel towers through FY22 
to enhance its capabilities to service this market. Due to 
international shipping delays, some of these travel towers 
only arrived in June 2022. Several projects are planned for 
FY23 and beyond as work to upgrade the electricity grid 
progresses nationally, and new renewable energy projects 
are completed, which require works to connect them into 
substations and the grid. 

Infrastructure

Revenue in the infrastructure segment was up $7.9 million. 

The Group continued to work on different elements of the 
Snowy 2.0 project assisting with both general craneage 
and the build and positioning of the major tunnel boring 
machines used to construct 27 kilometres of tunnels that 
will link the Tantangara and Talbingo dams. 

Projects were also completed during the year on rail works 
in Queensland for Martinus Rail and bridge works on the 
Armadale Road project in WA. 

Delays were experienced in the infrastructure sector across 
the eastern seaboard, particularly in metropolitan areas 
where COVID‑19 related site closures were frequent. Boom 
has a pipeline of opportunities in FY23 and is well placed 
to capitalise on the growing infrastructure segment as 
new major projects commence. Boom’s flexible rental 
model provides access to new equipment to deploy on 
infrastructure projects as these opportunities arise.

Industrial Maintenance

Revenue in the industrial maintenance segment was 
down $1.3m on the prior year. Revenue was impacted 
by a reduction of activity in the Group’s contracts in the 
Latrobe Valley in Victoria, somewhat offset by the offshore 
maintenance contract with Esso in the Bass Strait that 
remained strong through most of the year.

Telecommunications 

Revenue in the telecommunications segment was down 
$2.4m on the prior year. Works in this area were again 
significantly impacted by state government COVID‑19 
lockdowns and restrictions. Heavy rainfall events in Sydney 
and Brisbane throughout the year also negatively impacted 
this sector, comprised of transactional and discrete 
work packages that can be cancelled or rescheduled on 
short notice.

Corporate Structure

Operating and Financial Review

Boom Logistics is a company limited by shares that is 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Boom Logistics 
Limited has prepared a consolidated financial report 
incorporating the entities that it controlled during 
the financial year, which are listed in note 15 to the 
financial statements.

Indemnification and Insurance

The Company has entered into Deeds of Access, Indemnity 
and Insurance with each of the Directors and the Company 
Secretary, under which the Company indemnifies, to the 
extent not precluded by law from doing so, those persons 
against any liability they incur in or arising out of discharging 
their duties. No indemnity has been granted to an auditor of 
the Group in their capacity as auditor.

During the financial year, the Company has paid an insurance 
premium for the benefit of the Directors and officers of the 
Company in accordance with common commercial practice. 
The insurance policy prohibits disclosure of the liability 
insured and the amount of the premium.

Nature of Operations and 
Principal Activities

During the year, the principal activity of the Group was the 
provision of lifting solutions and specialised labour services.

A review of Group operations and results for the financial 
year ended 30 June 2022 is set out in the operating and 
financial review section of the Annual Report and in the 
accompanying financial statements.

Corporate Governance

The Group recognises the need for the highest standards 
of corporate behaviour and accountability. The Directors 
of Boom Logistics have accordingly followed the 
recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council. For further information on corporate governance 
policies adopted by Boom Logistics Limited, refer to our 
website: www.boomlogistics.com.au/about‑us/corporate‑
governance and annual reports.

Significant Changes in the State 
of Affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state of 
affairs other than that reported in the Operating and 
Financial Review section disclosed above.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTfor the year ended 30 June 2022Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022Significant Events After the 
Balance Date

The Directors are not aware of any other matter or 
circumstance that has arisen since 30 June 2022 that 
has significantly affected or may significantly affect the 
operations of the Group in subsequent financial years, the 
results of those operations or the state of affairs of the 
Group in future financial years.

Likely Developments and 
Expected Results

The Directors expect performance to continue to improve as 
a result of building new revenue and expanding services in 
key geographies and markets. Maintaining control of costs 
will ensure revenue is delivered at improved margins and 
increase profit and return on capital.

The Directors are cognisant of the requirement to 
continuously disclose material matters to the market. At 
this time, other than the matters addressed in this financial 
report there are no matters sufficiently advanced or at a 
level of certainty that would require disclosure.

Environmental Regulation and 
Performance

The Board confirms that the Group has adequate systems 
and processes in place to manage and comply with 
environmental regulations as they apply to the Group. This 
includes the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 
2007 which requires the Group to report energy consumption 
and greenhouse gas emissions for the 12 months ended 
30 June 2022 and future periods. There have been 
no significant known breaches of any environmental 
regulations to which the Group is subject.

Remuneration Report – Audited

The Directors of Boom Logistics Limited present the 
Remuneration Report for the Company and the Group for 
financial year ended 30 June 2022 (“FY22”). This report 
outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for 
non‑executive directors (“NEDs”) and the Managing Director 
and Senior Executives (“Executive KMP”).

Key management personnel (“KMP”) are those persons who, 
directly or indirectly, have authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the 
Company and Group.

Principles of Remuneration Practices
The Group’s remuneration practices are designed to 
maintain alignment with business strategy, shareholder 
interests and business performance whilst ensuring 
remuneration is appropriate. The Executive KMP 

remuneration framework and KMP remuneration is reviewed 
annually by the Board with the assistance of the Nomination 
& Remuneration Committee.

In conducting the Executive KMP remuneration review, the 
following principles are applied:

29

	■ Monitoring against external competitiveness, as 

appropriate using independent market survey data 
comparing the Group’s remuneration levels against 
industry peers in terms of comparable job size 
and responsibility;

	■ Internal equity, ensuring Executive KMP remuneration 

across the Group is based upon a clear view 
of the scope of individual positions and the 
respective responsibilities;

	■ A meaningful “at risk” component with entitlement 

dependent on achieving Group and individual 
performance targets set by the Board of Directors and 
aligned to the Group’s strategy; and

	■ Reward for performance represents a balance of annual 

and longer term targets.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee
The Group is committed to ensuring remuneration is 
informed by market data and linked to the Group’s 
strategy and performance. In doing so, the Board of 
Directors rely on the advice provided by the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee including their review and 
making recommendations:

	■ With regard to remuneration policies applicable to the 
Directors, Executive KMP and employees generally;

	■ In relation to the remuneration of Directors and 

Executive KMP;

	■ Of general remuneration principles, including incentive 

schemes, bonuses and share plans that reward individual 
and team performance;

	■ With regard to termination policies and procedures for 

Directors and Executive KMP;

	■ In relation to the Group’s superannuation 

arrangements; and

	■ To the Board of Directors for the inclusion of the 

Remuneration Report in the Group’s annual report.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee comprises 
a majority of independent directors. From time to time, the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee also draws upon 
advice and market survey data from external consultants in 
discharging its responsibilities.

Remuneration Arrangements of Executive Key 
Management Personnel
In the normal course of business, remuneration comprises 
fixed remuneration (fixed annual reward) and variable or “at 
risk” remuneration incentives. The Group’s remuneration 
structure for the Executive KMP comprises two 
main components:

Fixed annual reward
This element comprises base salary, any fringe benefits 
(e.g. motor vehicle allowance) and employer contributed 
superannuation. Executive KMP have scope to vary the 
components that make up their FAR and can tailor their 
salary package to suit individual requirements.

a)  Salary sacrifice rights plan
Eligible executives will be permitted to salary sacrifice a 
portion of their pre‑tax fixed annual remuneration to acquire 

equity in the form of rights to fully paid ordinary shares in 
the Company.

Each right is a right to acquire one ordinary share in the 
Company. The exact number of rights to be granted is based 
on the amount of salary sacrificed and the 5 day volume 
weighted average price prior each month. Rights do not 
carry any dividend or voting rights. Rights will be granted 
twice a year following the announcement of the half‑year 
and full‑year results or in any event, within twelve months 
of the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”).

Rights will have a twelve month exercise restriction 
commencing from the relevant grant dates. The rights to 
ordinary shares equivalent to the amount salary sacrificed in 
the period from the most recent grant date will be granted 
following the announcement of the full‑year results.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTfor the year ended 30 June 2022Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
Variable remuneration
The Group has a number of variable remuneration 
arrangements as follows:

b)  Short term incentive plan
Eligible executives will have the opportunity to receive short 
term incentives subject to meeting performance hurdles 
over the financial year. 50% of the STIP outcome achieved 
for the financial year will be delivered in cash and 50% will 
be delivered in equity in the form of rights to ordinary shares 
in the Company.

Each right is a right to acquire one ordinary share in the 
Company. The exact number of rights to be granted is 
based on 50% of the STIP outcome divided by the 5 day 
volume weighted average price after the release of full year 
results. Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights. 
Rights will be granted following the announcement of the 
full‑year results or in any event, within twelve months of 
the AGM. Rights will have a six month exercise restriction 
commencing from the grant date.

The objectives of this plan are to:

	■ Focus Executive KMP on key annual business goals and 
reinforce the link between performance and reward;

	■ Allow scope to recognise exceptional performance 

through a sliding scale of reward;

	■ Reward individual performance in meeting annual 

goals; and

	■ Align reward with the Group’s values, safety and 

financial target.

c)  Long term incentive plan
Eligible executives will be granted options to acquire 
ordinary shares in the Company, subject to performance 
hurdles and some or all may vest at the end of the three 
year period if the performance hurdles are met.

31

Each option is a right to acquire one ordinary share in 
the Company (or an equivalent cash amount) subject to 
payment of the exercise price. The exact number of options 
to be granted will be the LTIP award divided by the option 
valuation using a Binomial valuation methodology prior to 
grant date. The option exercise price is calculated based on 
the 5 day volume weighted average price prior to the grant 
date. Options do not carry any dividend or voting rights. 
Options will be granted within twelve months of the Annual 
General Meeting.

Options are subject to performance hurdles based on four 
independent measures comprising absolute earnings per 
share (“EPS”), return on capital employed, sales revenue 
growth and key safety performance metrics, which are 
measured at the end of the three year performance period. 
The Board of Directors retains a discretion to adjust the 
performance hurdles as required to ensure plan participants 
are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters 
outside management’s control that materially affect the 
performance hurdles (for example, by excluding one‑off 
non‑recurrent items or the impact of significant acquisitions 
or disposals).

Remuneration Review
The review of KMP and general staff remuneration is 
conducted annually through a formal process.

KMP remuneration is reviewed by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors with 
input from the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Market 
survey data combined with individual performance 
appraisals determine recommendations that go to the Board 
of Directors for approval. This process occurs in September 
of each year and remuneration adjustments take effect 
from October of that year.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has direct 
responsibility for reviewing CEO performance against 
targets set by the Board of Directors and recommending 
to the Board of Directors appropriate adjustments to his 
remuneration package.

Staff reviews are similarly conducted by the relevant 
Executives and General Managers, with overview from 
the CEO.

CEO & Managing Director Remuneration
Mr. Spassopoulos has an employment contract that has 
no fixed term. Both the Company and Mr. Spassopoulos 
are entitled to terminate the employment contract on 
six month’s written notice, except in the case of serious 
misconduct or neglect of duty. Contractual arrangements 
relating to a redundancy event are set out below.

Mr. Spassopoulos’ remuneration package as at 30 June 2022 
comprised the following components:

	■ FAR of $618,000 per annum, inclusive of allowances 
and superannuation contributions in line with the 
Superannuation Guarantee legislation. Mr. Spassopoulos’ 
FAR is reviewed annually effective 1 October each year 
taking into account the Group’s performance, industry 
and economic conditions and personal performance.

	■ Mr. Spassopoulos has elected to salary sacrifice for 

rights to ordinary shares in the Company equating to 
an annual value of $120,000;

	■ STIP equivalent to 40% of his FAR upon achievement of 
performance conditions set by the Board of Directors on 
an annual basis. 50% of the STIP outcome achieved for 
the financial year will be delivered in cash and 50% will 
be delivered in equity in the form of rights to ordinary 
shares in the Company. The cash payment of any bonus 
under the STIP will take place after the annual audit 
of the Group’s financial report which typically occurs in 
the first half of the following financial year. No STIP is 
awarded if performance conditions are not met; and

	■ LTIP equivalent to 50% of his FAR is allocated in options 
of the Company with a performance hurdle based on 
absolute EPS, return on capital employed, sales revenue 
growth and key safety performance metrics measured 
at the end of the three year performance period subject 
to shareholder approval at the Company’s Annual 
General Meeting.

If his employment is terminated on the grounds of 
redundancy or where a diminution in responsibility occurs, 
Mr. Spassopoulos will be entitled to receive:

	■ The lesser of the maximum amount permitted by 

the Corporations Act and 12 months pay calculated in 
accordance with his FAR at the date of redundancy 
or diminution;

	■ Vested employee entitlements;

	■ STIP rights that have vested and if not exercised the 

exercise restrictions will be lifted. Where employment 
ceased prior to the STIP outcome being determined, 
the Board of Directors may at its discretion determine 
a pro‑rated STIP based on the proportion of the 
performance period that has elapsed at the time of 
cessation. To the extent the relevant performance 
conditions are satisfied, the STIP award will be paid in 
cash and no rights will be allocated; 

DIRECTORS’ REPORTfor the year ended 30 June 2022Boom Logistics Annual Report 202233

Executive KMP remuneration). If employment is terminated 
on the grounds of redundancy, in addition to the notice 
period, all other Executive KMP will be entitled to receive up 
to six months pay calculated in accordance with their FAR.

On termination by notice of the Company or the Executive 
KMP, any STIP and LTIP that have vested will be awarded. 
Where employment ceased prior to the STIP outcome being 
determined or LTIP options vest, the treatment will be the 
same as that disclosed in the CEO & Managing Director 
Remuneration section above.

The Company may terminate the contract at any time 
without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where 
termination with cause occurs, the Executive KMP is only 
entitled to that proportion of remuneration that is fixed, 
and only up to the date of termination. On termination with 
cause, any unvested STIP rights and LTIP shares or options 
will lapse.

	■ LTIP options that have vested. Where employment 

ceased before the options vest, unvested options will 
continue “on‑foot” and will be tested following the 
end of the original vesting date, and vesting to the 
extent that the relevant conditions have been satisfied 
(ignoring any service related conditions);

	■ In the event a termination payment is made, no 

payment in lieu of notice will be made.

The Board of Directors also have a broader discretion to 
apply any other treatment that it deems appropriate in 
the circumstances.

In the event that Mr. Spassopoulos was to be summarily 
dismissed, he would be paid for the period served prior 
to dismissal and any accrued leave entitlements. Mr. 
Spassopoulos would not be entitled to the payment of any 
bonus under the STIP or LTIP. Mr. Spassopoulos is subject to 
restrictive covenants upon cessation of his employment for 
a maximum period of one year.

Other Executive KMP (standard contracts)
All other Executive KMP have contracts with no fixed term. 
Either the Company or the Executive KMP may terminate 
the Executive KMP employment agreement by providing 
three months written notice or providing payment in lieu of 
the notice period (based upon the fixed component of the

Non-executive Director Fees
Non‑executive Director fees are determined by reference to external survey data, taking account of the Group’s relative size 
and business complexity. In addition, non‑executive Directors have no entitlement to STIP, no equity incentives are offered 
and no retirement benefits are payable. The maximum aggregate sum for non‑executive Director remuneration of $750,000 
(2021: $400,000) was approved by shareholders at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

(i)  The 2022 LTIP vesting benchmark consists of four independent vesting hurdles, each of which is measured at the end of the three year 

performance period. The four performance hurdles are Earnings per Share of $0.04 or more (25% of eligible options), Return on Capital Employed 
of 10% (25% of eligible options), Sales Revenue Growth of 10% (25% of eligible options), and Safety Performance: LTIFR < 1 and SAOFR > 8,500

Of the FY2020 options allocated to the Executive KMP, only the safety performance hurdle was achieved and vested at 25%. 
The remaining vesting conditions were not met. In accordance with the LTIP rules, 75% of the FY2020 options were treated 
as lapsed at the reporting date.

About This Report

The financial report of Boom Logistics Limited and its 
subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2022 
was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of 
the Board of Directors on 25 August 2022.

During FY2022, the Group has continued to work with 
customers to ensure that all health requirements are met 
including restrictions on staff travel, maintaining cleaning 
processes for equipment, maintaining social distancing 
protocols and observing state government work from home 
orders for non‑essential staff.

Boom Logistics Limited is a company domiciled in Australia 
and limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares 
are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Whilst the pandemic and ongoing uncertainty has

performance improved significantly in the period.

The Group is a for‑profit entity and the nature of its 
operations and principal activities are described in note 1.

The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations 
Act 2001. The consolidated financial report complies with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and 
interpretations adopted by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB).

The financial report has been prepared in accordance 
with the historical cost convention rounded to the 
nearest thousand dollars ($’000) in accordance with 
ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 unless otherwise 
stated, except for derivative financial instruments 
which are measured at fair value. The financial report is 
presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s 
functional currency.

Boom’s Directors have included information in this 
report that they deem to be material and relevant to the 
understanding of the financial report. Disclosure may be 
considered material and relevant if the dollar amount is 
significant due to size or nature, or the information is 
important to understand the:

	■ Group’s current year results;

	■ impact of significant changes in Boom’s business; or

	■ aspects of the Group’s operations that are important to 

future performance.

Disclosure of information that is not material may 
undermine the usefulness of the financial report by 
obscuring important information.

COVID-19 Impact on the Group

Since the onset of the COVID‑19 global pandemic, which was 
declared by the World Health Organisation on 11 March 2020, 
the Group has been able to effectively manage its 
operations to minimise disruption to the business.

The Group derives the majority of its revenue from the 
following sectors: mining and resources; infrastructure 
and construction; wind, energy and utilities; industrial 
maintenance; and telecommunications which are designated 
as essential services and have continued to operate 
throughout the year.

The pandemic has also had continued impact on 
international shipping. Significant delays from Europe 
impacted the arrival of a number of new large travel tower 
assets that were ordered during the FY2021 year to service 
growth opportunities in the energy sector. These assets 
arrived in June 2022.

Whilst the uncertainty created by the pandemic has 
fluctuated through FY2022, it has not materially impacted 
the Group nor its assessment of going concern. The Group 
has long term debt facilities committed to December 2023 
with significant undrawn capacity. Further growth in cash 
flow and earnings are forecast for FY2023.

The directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare 
the accounts on a going concern basis.

Section A: Financial Performance

This section provides the information that is most relevant 
to understanding the financial performance of the Group 
during the financial year.

1. 

Segment Reporting

Description of operating segments
Management has determined the operating segments 
based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Operating 
Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource 
allocation and to assess performance. The CODM who 
is responsible for allocating resources and assessing 
performance of the operating segments is the Managing 
Director and CEO.

The business is considered from a product perspective and 
has two reportable segments:

	■ “Lifting Solutions”, which consists of all lifting activities 
including the provision of cranes, travel towers, access 
equipment and all associated services; and

	■ “Labour Hire”, which includes the provision of skilled 

labour with a wide range of trades, such as, electricians, 
boiler makers, mechanics, plus the traditional crane and 
travel tower operators, riggers, truck drivers.

The segment information provided to the CODM is 
measured in a manner consistent with that of the 
financial statements.

All inter‑segment sales are carried out at arm’s 
length prices.

(i)  Contract assets relate to the Group’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are 

transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group issues the invoices to the customers.

Recognition and measurement
Revenue from the hire of lifting/access equipment, labour and other services provided is recognised when the performance 
obligation is satisfied. This typically occurs when the job dockets or timecards are approved by the customers. If the services 
under a single arrangement are rendered in different reporting periods, then the consideration is allocated on a relative fair 
value basis.

Revenue from the installation of wind towers is recognised by using either the equipment hire and labour rate models 
(schedule of rates) or the stage of completion of the contract, as specified in the contracts. The stage of completion is 

Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022Section A: Financial Performance (continued)

50

2.  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)
measured by reference to work completed on each stage of a wind tower unit calculated as a percentage of the total wind 
towers included under the contract.

The total consideration in the services above is allocated based on their standalone selling prices. The stand‑alone selling 
prices are determined based on the list prices at which the Group sells the services in separate transactions. The fair value 
and the stand‑alone selling prices of both types of services are considered broadly similar.

Key estimate and judgement
Determining the stage of completion requires an estimate of the wind tower units completed to date as a percentage of the 
total wind tower units under the contract. Where variations and claims are made to the contract, assumptions are made 
regarding the probability that the customer will approve the variations and claims and the amount of revenue that will arise. 
Changes in these estimation methods could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Income tax (continued)
Income tax payable

4. 
(c) 
Income tax payable represents the remaining franking 
deficit tax that is being paid in twenty four interest‑free 
equal monthly instalments from August 2020 to July 2022. 
As at 30 June 2022, of the $4.262 million of income tax 
instalments paid to date, $3.166 million was utilised to 
offset the income tax payable arising from the financial 
year results.

(d)  Tax losses
The Group has total tax losses of $31.165 million tax effected 
(2021: $31.165 million). $2.799 million of these losses have 
been recognised on balance sheet and $28.366 million 
has not been recognised as a deferred tax asset based on 
an assessment of the probability that sufficient taxable 
profit will be available to allow the tax losses to be utilised 
in the near future. The unused tax losses remain available 
indefinitely and are in addition to the franking deficit tax 
payments that can also be used to offset future tax payable.

Recognition and measurement
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior 
periods are measured at the amount expected to be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The 
tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are 
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the 
reporting date.

Deferred tax is provided on all temporary differences at 
the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting 
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised 
for all deductible / taxable temporary differences except 
where they arise from the initial recognition of an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination 
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. The carrying 
amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting 
date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable 
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or 
part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting 
date and are recognised to the extent that it has become 
probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred 
tax asset to be recovered.

Income tax is recognised as an expense or income in the 
consolidated income statement unless it relates to other 
items recognised directly in other comprehensive income 
in which case the tax is also recognised directly in other 
comprehensive income.

Tax consolidation legislation
Boom Logistics Limited and its wholly‑owned Australian 
controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation. The head entity, Boom Logistics Limited, and 
the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group have 
entered into tax funding and sharing agreements such that 
each entity in the tax consolidated group recognises the 
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to its 
own transactions, events and balances only.

Key estimate and judgement
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary 
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable 
that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those 
temporary differences and losses, and the losses continue 
to be available having regard to their nature and timing of 
origination. Judgement is required to determine the amount 
of deferred tax assets that can be recognised based upon 
the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. 
Utilisation of tax losses also depends on the ability of 
the Group to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses 
are recouped.

Earnings Per Share

5. 
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing 
net profit or loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity 
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by 
dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable 
to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive 
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount 
of $107.693 million (2021: $122.654 million) is pledged as 
securities for current and non‑current interest bearing loans 
and borrowings as disclosed in note 11.

Assets classified as held for sale
There were no assets classified as held for sale at 
30 June 2022.

Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment 
losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable 
to the acquisition of the asset. Land is measured at cost less 
any accumulated impairment losses.

When a major overhaul is performed on an asset, the cost 
is recognised in the carrying amount of property, plant and 
equipment only if the major overhaul extends the expected 
useful life of the asset or if the continuing operation of 
the asset is conditional upon incurring the expenditure. 
Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its 
cost is recognised in the carrying amount of property, plant 
and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for 
capitalisation. The cost of the day‑to‑day servicing or the 
replacement of consumable parts of property, plant and 
equipment is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the 
estimated useful life of each part of an item of property, 
plant and equipment as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2022Boom Logistics Annual Report 202255

to their present value using a post‑tax discount rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of 
an asset, cash‑generating unit or a group of cash‑generating 
units exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses 
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash‑generating 
units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of 
any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the 
carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of 
units) on a pro rata basis.

Key estimate and judgement
The carrying values of the CGU’s fixed assets were tested 
at 30 June 2022 by reference to management’s assessment 
of their fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value was 
determined after considering information from a variety 
of sources including a valuation of all cranes and travel 
tower assets obtained from an independent valuer dated 
21 June 2022. The independent valuer concluded a fair 
value of $137.033 million (2021: $125.265 million) for the 
Group’s cranes and travel tower assets. The Group did not 
make any allowance for costs to sell as they were deemed 
immaterial given the Group’s in house expertise and track 
record of successful asset sales. The Group has classified 
the assessment as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (as per 
AASB 13) where “inputs other than quoted prices in active 
markets that are observable for the asset either directly 
or indirectly”.

The independent valuation supported the carrying value 
of the CGU’s crane and travel tower assets as stated in the 
consolidated statement of financial position. The evaluation 
is consistent with the Group’s assessment of the economic 
environment, lengthening lead times for new equipment 
and second hand asset values. Consequently, no impairment 
adjustment to the carrying value of operating fleet was 
considered necessary at 30 June 2022.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each reporting date and at more regular 
intervals when there is an indicator of impairment or when 
deemed appropriate.

Gains or losses on sale of property, plant and equipment are 
included in the statement of comprehensive income in the 
year the asset is disposed of.

Key estimate and judgement
The Group determines the estimated useful lives of assets 
and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and 
equipment based on the accounting policy stated above. 
These estimates are based on projected capital equipment 
lifecycles for periods up to twenty years based on useful 
life assumptions.

Residual values are determined based on the value the 
Group would derive upon ultimate disposal of the individual 
piece of property, plant and equipment at the end of its 
useful life. The achievement of these residual values is 
dependent upon the second hand equipment market at any 
given point in the economic cycle.

Management will increase the depreciation charge where 
useful lives are less than previously estimated lives or there 
is indication that residual values cannot be achieved.

8. 

Impairment Testing of Non-Financial Assets

Recognition and measurement
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non‑financial assets, 
other than deferred tax assets and inventories, are reviewed 
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any 
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then 
the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are 
grouped together into the smallest group of assets that 
generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups 
of assets (the “cash‑generating unit”).

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash‑generating unit 
or a group of cash‑generating units is the greater of its value 
in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted

asset finance facility.

The fair value of all borrowings approximates their carrying 
amount at the reporting date as the impact of any market 
discounting is not significant.

Of the $56 million receivables finance facility, $17.1 million 
was drawn with a further $1.3 million utilised by bank 
guarantees. $37.6 million of the undrawn facility was 
available subject to the availability of eligible debtors which 
was $2.0 million at the reporting date.

The $22 million chattel mortgage facility was undrawn at 
the reporting date.

Of the $35 million asset finance facility, $18.0 million was 
drawn including $17.6 million of finance leases. A further 
$9.4 million was utilised by operating leases. $7.6 million 
was undrawn at the reporting date.

Recognition and measurement
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair 
value of the consideration received less directly attributable 
transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing 
loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method which is 
way of allocating interest expense evenly and consistently 
over the life of loans and borrowings.

Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised.

12.  Financial Risk Management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the 
oversight of the Company’s risk management framework 
including the identification and management of material 
business, financial and regulatory risks. Management 
reports regularly to the Risk Committee and the Board of 
Directors on relevant activities.

Risk management guidelines have been further developed 
to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks 
and adherence to limits. Risk management guidelines are 
regularly reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions 
and the Group’s activities.

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use 
of financial instruments:

	■ Credit risk;

	■ Liquidity risk; and

	■ Market risk.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2022Boom Logistics Annual Report 2022(a)  Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the 
Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade 
receivables, contract assets and other receivables, and 
derivative instruments. The Group’s exposure to credit risk 
arises from potential default of the counter party, with a 
maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these 
instruments. Exposure at reporting date is addressed in 
each applicable note.

The Group’s policy is to trade with recognised, creditworthy 
third parties. It is the Group’s practice that all customers 
who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit 
verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances 
are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the 
Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Trade receivables and contract assets
The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring 
expected credit losses (“ECL”) which uses a lifetime expected 
loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables 
and contract assets have been grouped based on shared 
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The 

contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have 
substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade 
receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has 
therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade 
receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates 
for the contract assets.

59

The Group established a provision matrix based on the 
historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward 
looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic 
environment. The Group considers trade receivables and 
contract assets are at risk when contractual payments 
are 120 days past invoice date, subject to other internal or 
external information that indicate otherwise.

Collectability is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which 
are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing 
the carrying amount directly. An allowance for impairment 
is used when there is objective evidence that the Group 
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the 
original terms of the receivables.

At the reporting date, the credit risk exposure on the Group’s 
trade receivables and contract assets using a provision 
matrix is as follows:

(i)   The allowance for impairment of $1.040 million comprises a specific provision of $0.285 million (2021: $0.234 million), $0.637 million calculated 
from the provision matrix (2021: $0.315 million), and an additional allowance of $0.118 million in excess (2021: $0.400 million in excess) of the 
allowance calculated using the provision matrix above. The additional amount is to allow for a perceived temporary increase in the risk profile as 
a result of the uncertain economic environment at 30 June 2022.

Recognition and measurement
Trade receivables and contract assets are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 
within 30 – 90 days.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When 
a trade receivable or contract asset for which an allowance for impairment had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a 
subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off 
are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

(b)  Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach 
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial 
obligations as they fall due under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or damage 
to the Group’s reputation. In order to meet these requirements management estimates the cash flows of the Group on a 
weekly, monthly and three‑year rolling basis.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of operating 
leases, finance leases and trade receivables loan. At 30 June 2022, the Group’s balance sheet gearing ratio was 29% 
(interest bearing loans and borrowing plus finance lease liabilities less cash / total equity) (2021: 26%). Allowing for the 
additional operating lease liabilities recognised in accordance with AASB 16, the Group’s balance sheet gearing ratio was 41% 
(2021: 41%).

Recognition and measurement
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year 
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually payable within 60 days of recognition.

(c)  Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of 
its holdings of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk
At the reporting date, the interest rate profiles of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments were:

Fixed rate instruments

Financial liabilities

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short and long‑term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose 
the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. This risk is managed by taking into consideration the current and expected future 
debt profile, expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the mix between variable and fixed rate borrowings and 
the potential to hedge against negative outcomes by entering into interest rate swaps.

Boom Logistics Annual Report 202262

Section C: Funding Structures (continued)

12.  Financial Risk Management (continued)
Foreign exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial 
transactions and recognised liabilities are denominated 
in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. 
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising 
from operating lease of plant and equipment denominated 
in Euros.

In order to protect against exchange rate movements, 
the Group has entered into forward exchange contracts to 
purchase Euros. These contracts are hedging highly probable 
forecasted transactions and are timed to mature when 
payments are scheduled to be made. The forward exchange 
contracts are considered to be fully effective cash flow 
hedges and any gain or loss on the contracts is taken directly 
to equity.

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rate risk at 
the reporting date, expressed in Australian dollars, was 
$0.440 million (2021: $0.596 million) and the forward 
exchange contracts had a fair value of $nil payable at 
30 June 2022 (2021: $0.047 million payable).

Sensitivity
Movements in the Australian dollar against the Euro would 
not result in a material difference to the balances stated 
in the consolidated statements of changes in equity and 
comprehensive income.

13.  Contributed Equity

Recognition and measurement
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are classified 
as cash flow hedges.

At the inception of each hedging transaction, the Group 
documents the relationship between the hedging 
instruments and hedged items, its risk management 
objectives and its strategy for undertaking the hedge 
transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, 
both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether 
the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have 
been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting 
changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the 
derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow 
hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity. The 
gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

The Group does not speculate in the trading of 
derivative instruments.

Derivatives are carried at fair value and categorised as 
level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under AASB 13 where 
“inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are 
observable for the asset either directly or indirectly”.

equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management policy is to maximise shareholder 
value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and 
impacts on the Group’s budgets and forecasts. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the balance sheet gearing ratio. 
This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity as disclosed in note 12(b).

14.  Leases

Group as a lessee
The Group has commercial leases on certain plant and equipment, motor vehicles and property. These lease contracts have 
typically fixed terms of 1 to 5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and 
contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

Leases are recognised as a right‑of‑use asset and a 
corresponding lease liability at the date at which the 
leased asset is available for use. The right‑of‑use asset is 
depreciated over the lease term on a straight‑line basis. The 
lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and 
interest expense. The interest expense is charged to profit 
or loss over the lease term.

Right‑of‑use assets are measured at cost comprising 
the following:

	■ the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

	■ any initial direct costs; and

	■ restoration costs.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease 
payments to be made over the lease term discounted using 
the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be 
determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, 
being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow 
the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in 
a similar economic environment with similar terms and 
conditions. The present value of lease payments include:

	■ fixed payments;

	■ variable lease payments that are based on an index or 

a rate;

	■ amounts expected to be payable under residual 

value guarantees;

	■ the exercise price of a purchase option if reasonably 

certain to exercise the option; and

	■ payments of penalties for terminating the lease.

In determining the lease term, management considers all 
facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive 
to exercise an extension option. Extension options are only 
included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain 
to be extended.

Payments associated with short‑term leases and leases of 
low‑value assets are recognised on a straight‑line basis as 
an expense in profit or loss.

Group as a lessor
The Group has several property, plant and equipment leases 
that were sub‑let and classified as finance leases and 
recognised as Lease receivables. The sub‑leases have terms 
of between 2 to 3 years.

The maturity analysis of lease receivables showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after the reporting date 
is a follows:

– within one year

– after one year but not more than five years

*Boom Logistics Constructions Pty Ltd changed its name from Sherrin Hire Pty Ltd on 4 November 2021.

Boom Logistics Limited is the ultimate parent company. 

Recognition and measurement
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Boom Logistics Limited and its subsidiaries as 
at 30 June each year.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the 
activities of the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from 
the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairments.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.

Intra‑group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra‑group transactions, are eliminated in 
preparing the consolidated financial statements.

16.  Deed of Cross Guarantee
Pursuant to ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/785 (“Corporations Instrument”), the wholly owned subsidiaries listed below 
are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports and 
Directors’ report.

It is a condition of the Corporations Instrument that Boom Logistics Limited and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed 
of Cross Guarantee. The effect of the Deed is that Boom Logistics Limited guarantees to each creditor payment in full of 
any debt in the event of winding up of any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. The 
subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the event that Boom Logistics Limited is wound up.

The subsidiaries subject to the Deed are:

	■ Boom Logistics Constructions Pty Ltd (party to the Deed on 6 December 2005);

	■ AKN Pty Ltd (party to the Deed on 3 November 2006 by virtue of a Deed of Assumption);

Salary sacrifice rights plan
Eligible executives will be permitted to salary sacrifice a 
portion of their pre‑tax fixed annual remuneration to acquire 
equity in the form of rights to fully paid ordinary shares in 
the Company.

Each right is a right to acquire one ordinary share in the 
Company. The exact number of rights to be granted is based 
on the amount of salary sacrificed and the 5 day volume 
weighted average price prior each month. Rights do not 
carry any dividend or voting rights. Rights will be granted 
twice a year following the announcement of the half‑year 
and full‑year results or in any event, within twelve months 
of the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). Rights will have 
a twelve month exercise restriction commencing from 
the relevant grant dates. The rights to ordinary shares 
equivalent to the amount salary sacrificed in the period from 
the most recent grant date will be granted following the 
announcement of the full‑year results.

Short term incentive plan
Eligible executives will have the opportunity to receive short 
term incentives subject to meeting performance hurdles 
over the financial year. 50% of the STIP outcome achieved 
for the financial year will be delivered in cash and 50% will 
be delivered in equity in the form of rights to ordinary shares 
in the Company.

Each right is a right to acquire one ordinary share in the 
Company. The exact number of rights to be granted is 
based on 50% of the STIP outcome divided by the 5 day 
volume weighted average price after the release of full year 
results. Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights. 
Rights will be granted following the announcement of the 

full‑year results or in any event, within twelve months of 
the AGM. Rights will have a six month exercise restriction 
commencing from the grant date.

Long term incentive plan
Eligible executives will be granted options to acquire 
ordinary shares in the Company, subject to performance 
hurdles and some or all may vest at the end of the three 
year period if the performance hurdles are met.

Each option is a right to acquire one ordinary share in 
the Company (or an equivalent cash amount) subject to 
payment of the exercise price. The exact number of options 
to be granted will be the LTIP award divided by the option 
valuation using a Binomial valuation methodology prior to 
grant date. The option exercise price is calculated based on 
the 5 day volume weighted average price prior to the grant 
date. Options do not carry any dividend or voting rights. 
Options will be granted within twelve months of the Annual 
General Meeting.

Options are subject to performance hurdles based on four 
independent measures comprising absolute earnings per 
share (“EPS”), return on capital employed, sales revenue 
growth and key safety performance metrics, which are 
measured at the end of the three‑year performance period. 
The Board of Directors retains a discretion to adjust the 
performance hurdles as required to ensure plan participants 
are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters 
outside management’s control that materially affect the 
performance hurdles (for example, by excluding one‑off 
non‑recurrent items or the impact of significant acquisitions 
or disposals).

Recognition and measurement
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which 
they are granted using an appropriate valuation model.

In valuing equity settled transactions, the performance conditions are all non‑market measures and as such, are not taken 
into account in determining the fair values of the options.

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in 
which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become 
fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. 

20.  Commitments

       75                          Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: • Valuation of property, plant and equipment • Revenue recognition Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Valuation of property, plant and equipment (AU$107.7m) Refer to Note 8 Impairment Testing of Non-Financial Assets to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit A key audit matter for us is the Group's valuation of its property, plant and equipment assets due to the: • Net assets of the Group exceeding the Group's market capitalisation at the year end, which is an indicator of impairment; • Size of the balance (being 56.4% of total assets). The Group's policy is to measure the recoverable amount of its cash generating units (CGUs) using a fair value less costs of disposal model, primarily based on an assessment of fair value of operating assets (cranes and travel towers) received from their external expert.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTfor the year ended 30 June 2022       76                          - Comparing the implied EBITDA multiples from available market data, including share market valuations, for comparable companies, to the implied EBITDA valuation multiple for the Group; • Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.  Revenue recognition (AU$215.8 million) Refer to Note 2 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Revenue recognition is a key audit matter due to: The significant audit effort to test the high volume of individual revenue transactions recorded by the Group.  The Group has a number of different contract types, with different sources of evidence for the achievement of the performance obligation. The Group generates revenue from the provision of services to customers. The Group’s policy is to recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied, which usually occurs when job dockets or timecards are approved by the customers. The Group has manual processes, which may increase the risk of potential bias in the recognition of revenue, in particular in the last two weeks of the reporting period. This increased our audit effort to test higher samples of revenue transactions in the last two weeks of the reporting period, including testing a sample of accrued revenue transactions at year end.   Our procedures included:  Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s accounting policies against the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and our understanding of the business.  Selecting samples of revenue transactions during the year. For each sample selected, we: o checked the amount of revenue recorded by the Group to the amount of the sales invoice to the customer, agreed rates typically per customer approved contract/quote, and cash receipts obtained from the Group’s bank statements; and o checked the date the revenue was recognised to underlying evidence, such as, customer approved job dockets, timecards or payment certificates.  Performed a procedure comparing cash receipts from customers, to revenue recognised by the Group.  Selected a sample of accrued revenue transactions. For each sample selected, we: o checked the amount and date of revenue recorded by the Group to underlying evidence, such as, approved contract/quote, customer approved job dockets, timecards or payment certificates.  Selected a sample of revenue transactions for the period of two weeks before and two weeks after year end due to the increased risk of potential bias in this period. For each sample selected we: Boom Logistics Annual Report 202277

       77                          o checked the amount of revenue recorded by the Group to the amount of the sales invoice to the customer and agreed rates to underlying evidence, such as, customer approved contract/quote; and  o checked the date the revenue was recognised to underlying evidence, such as, customer approved job dockets, timecards or payment certificates, assessing the date at which the performance obligation was satisfied.  We assessed the disclosures in the Financial Report using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.
