Decmil Group LimitedAnnual Report 2022 Dear Shareholders,
As Chairman of Decmil Group Limited, and on behalf of my
fellow Directors, I am pleased to provide the Decmil Group
Annual Report for FY2022.
The significant challenges which the Company in particular
and the construction industry generally faced in the last 12
months are well known to our investors. The challenges to the
industry generally include escalation costs for materials and
energy, labour shortages, significant COVID-19 restrictions
and impacts, and in relation to the Company the effects of
some legacy disputes continue.
As a result, and as the Company advised the market on 27
July 2022, it is disappointing to report a net loss after tax of
$103 million for the year on revenues of $378 million.
Notably, despite the accounting result which was impacted by
a $48 million write-down of goodwill and deferred tax assets,
Decmil reported a net operating cash inflow of $12 million for
the second half of FY2022 and $6 million for the financial year,
with no net debt at 30 June 2022.
Importantly, our reinvigorated operational base has given
us cause to approach FY2023 with greater confidence. We
have actively renegotiated contracts to align with current
market conditions, adopted a highly selective approach to
contract tendering to complement our very strong order
book, addressed several key legacy issues and bolstered our
executive team.
Since the last annual report, several legacy projects were
resolved. We achieved Substantial Completion on the
Sunraysia Solar Farm project in January 2022, and in August
2022 we finalised the ongoing dispute with Southern Cross
Electrical Engineering Limited. In addition, management has
undertaken a cautious and prudent review of balance sheet
items which resulted in adjustments at 30 June 2022 so that
the business is well positioned for FY2023.
The Board has also undertaken a renewal of the Executive
Team with the appointment of Rod Heale as Chief Executive
Officer on 20 June 2022. Rod brings a wealth of experience
in Tier 1 contracting, with a focus on resolving disputes, risk
awareness, assessment and management, negotiation of
claims, client relationships and winning high-quality work.
The Board, management team and employees of Decmil are
excited to be working with Rod as he brings an impressive
level of expertise and leadership.
Strategy
The strategy for the business going forward is centred around
a much more selective approach to tendering new work, with a
focus on an appropriate risk allocation to Decmil, higher profit
margins than have historically been targeted, and work that
is part of Decmil’s core capabilities in its core regions, with
financially strong clients.
This strategy aims to create a sustainable business model by
During FY22, Decmil continued to work towards achieving the
objectives in our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan. Over the
past year, we have focused on building cultural awareness and
understanding across our business, and we have continued
to develop strong relationships with the communities in which
we operate. We have significantly improved the diversity of our
supply chain. For example, on the Mordialloc Freeway Project
(a Joint Venture with McConnell Dowell) the value of the
aggregate amount spent with Aboriginal businesses exceeded
$4 million, and our workforce included in excess of 45,000
hours by aboriginal employees or contractors. Similarly, on the
Albany Ring Road project, approximately 6% of total contract
spend has been with Aboriginal businesses and approximately
10% of the total worked hours has been by Aboriginal persons.
Conclusion
Whilst the Company has had a difficult year, the Board is
confident about the future outlook for Decmil. The contracted
order book currently stands at $600 million, over $70 million
higher than at the end of the 2021 calendar year, with $475
million already secured for the 2023 financial year. This is a
solid foundation for growth in the coming year and beyond.
With our renewed Executive and the increased emphasis on
risk mitigation, Decmil expects the contracted work in hand to
be executed safely and profitably in the coming year. Along
with a selective approach to tendering new work, the Company
expects to return to profitability.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to
thank our loyal shareholders for their ongoing support and our
employees for their continued contribution and dedication to
Decmil.
Thank you.
Andrew Barclay
Chairman
returning Decmil to profitability, to rebuild the balance sheet
and ultimately deliver improved value for shareholders.
In FY22 the Homeground accommodation village contributed
its best financial result in many years, with an EBITDA of
$1.3 million. However, the sale of Homeground remains a
key objective for Decmil in order to utilise the capital of the
Company more effectively.
Outlook
Decmil continues to focus on the infrastructure market with
significant projects underway, such as the Albany Ring Road in
Western Australia, Bruce Highway in Queensland, and Barwon
Heads and Gippsland Line Upgrade (rail) in Victoria. With
a successful infrastructure track record to date, Decmil has
established itself as a trusted and competent partner with state
government infrastructure authorities and expects to continue
to win significant packages of work over the coming years as
the strong infrastructure market continues.
The award of key lithium contracts in the 2022 financial year
further diversifies Decmil’s portfolio of clients in the Resource
sector to complement our traditionally iron ore-focused
capability. The Company expects to continue winning work in
this sector as commodity prices remain buoyant.
We have continued our involvement in the Energy sector
on the Ryan Corner and Crookwell wind farm projects. Both
projects experienced delays due to permitting and approvals
issues in FY22. However, all approvals and permits are now
in place for the Ryan Corner project to commence. Decmil
has an excellent track record delivering Balance of Plant in
the renewables sector and we will continue to actively seek
opportunities in that area.
The past year has seen Decmil’s entry into the Construction
sector with awards of the Karratha Senior High School
buildings, the Pundulmurra TAFE development and (following
a detailed Early Contractor Involvement Process) the Florin
Parkside apartments development, all in Western Australia.
This sector has become a renewed focus for the business
provided that the Company can satisfy itself of the appropriate
risk allocations. Decmil is focused on selectively securing
projects in this sector which are both within the Company’s
regional expertise and offer favourable margins due to
Decmil’s competitive advantage to deliver these projects.
Our people
I would like to acknowledge my appreciation to our loyal
employees and management for their continued support in
the last year, especially during the challenging times for the
business. Your hard work and dedication will ensure Decmil’s
success over the long term.
The safety of our people continues to be our first priority,
with Decmil reporting a pleasing result for FY22, with a lost
time injury frequency rate of 0.7 and a total recordable injury
frequency rate of 3.6.
The strategy for the business
going forward is centred around a
much more selective approach to
tendering new work, with a focus
on an appropriate risk allocation to
Decmil, higher profit margins than
have historically been targeted,
and work that is part of Decmil’s
core capabilities in its core
regions, with financially strong
clients.

Decmil Group LimitedAnnual Report 2022 Health and Safety
Our goal is to build a workplace
where our people are safe, happy
and healthy.
Management System Accreditation
We successfully regained our third party accreditation to ISO
45001, and maintained our accreditation with the Office of the
Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC). This will allow us to
continue to deliver federally funded projects.
Health and Safety
COVID-19
The safety, health and wellbeing of all of our employees and
our suppliers is of paramount importance and remains a top
commitment.
Safety underpins everything we do at Decmil and drives the
actions of every employee at every project location. Keeping
our people healthy and safe requires a constant commitment
from our leaders and project teams, and we continue to focus
on safety leadership and culture.
We continue to focus on effectively managing risks across
the business, ensuring that together, we can get home safely,
every day. We constantly focus on new safety initiatives
across our business that target root causes and risk factors,
ultimately delivering solutions for a safer, more productive
work environment.
Safety Performance
During the past year, we continued to implement our critical
risk management program, simplify our management systems
and improve the tools we use to efficiently capture and report
on health, safety and environment related metrics.
We have implemented a new health and safety data
platform which has enhanced the proactive capture and
subsequent analysis of health and safety information. The
platform has also increased efficiency of project teams with
mobility solutions removing significant paperwork for project
personnel.
Across the year, our Total Recordable Injury Frequency
Rate (TRIFR) and Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR)
increased slightly and our High Potential Incident Frequency
Rate (HPIFR) improved from the previous reporting period.
To improve lagging performance outcomes, we introduced a
range of new key leading indicator metrics early in 2022.

Decmil has teamed up with SkillHire as the RTO to facilitate
training for several Aboriginal trainees on our Albany Ring
Road Project. In addition to one of project’s trainees, Barry
Roberts, winning the Skill Hire Trainee of the Year award for
2021, Decmil was awarded the Safety Award Host Employer
for the year.
Despite another challenging year due to the ongoing impacts
of COVID-19 on our people and across our projects, we
remained focused on ensuring the health and wellbeing of our
people whilst maintaining the productivity of our operations.
During the year, we implemented various mitigation strategies
to reduce the impact of government mandated restrictions.
Our operational teams responded well to government
mandated closures of some of our projects and office
locations, with recommencement of operations occurring in a
safe and efficient manner.
Our project teams continued to implement innovative
solutions to meet COVID-19 contact tracing requirements,
using innovative technology to dramatically reduce the risk of
COVID-19 during the delivery of project works.
We remain agile and resilient to deliver performance for our
clients and we continue to monitor the constantly evolving
situation and adapt our response to reduce operational
impacts as much as possible. Our processes continue to be
applied as required and in accordance with applicable public
health orders by project and by location.
Wellbeing Initiatives
Supporting both the physical health and mental health of
our employees is critical. We aim to build a workplace with
positive mental health to contribute positively to performance
and productivity.
During the year we conducted a Psychosocial Workplace Risk
Survey to a better understand the psychosocial hazards and
factors that influence the psychological health of our workers.
We are committed to using the results of this survey to inform
continuous improvement in workplace health and safety.
Our employee assistance program (EAP) is provided to all
Decmil employees and their immediate family members to
support their mental health and wellbeing. This program is
provided externally and includes support and counselling for
a broad range of personal and work-related concerns which
may impact on their work life and job performance.
With the impact of COVID-19 restrictions and related
lockdowns affecting the regions in which we operated, our
EAP program provided vital support to our employees during
this period.
Non-Process Infratructure Works
Our business was born in the Pilbara, a
resources hub and the foundation of Decmil’s
core business. Our contribution to resource
projects has helped to build bigger, better
cities around the world, house hundreds of
employees in remote areas and generate

Decmil, alongside our client Major Road Projects Victoria
and our joint venture partner McConnell Dowell, won the
2022 Contractor Excellence Award, which was awarded by
Infrastructure Partnerships Australia - National Infrastructure
Awards.
Our vision is to build positive long-term relationships with
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and
businesses, making a lasting and positive difference in their
lives.
The launch of our first Reflect RAP in 2020 laid the foundation
for our future commitments and initiatives and demonstrated
our long-term commitment to take action to strengthen the
relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples and Decmil. Over the past year we have focused
on building a work culture that fosters inclusion, respect and
equality for all people. We have continued to develop strong
relationships with the communities in which we operate and
have significantly improved the diversity of our supply chain.
As part of our next step in our reconciliation journey, our
Innovate RAP has been completed and was submitted to
Reconciliation Australia in May 2022 for review and approval.
We are currently in the approval process with Reconciliation
Australia, with approval of our Innovate RAP expected by
around September 2022.
Aboriginal Participation and Engagement
Decmil is proud to be a long-standing member of Supply
Nation, Australia’s leading database of certified Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander businesses. Our membership with Supply
Nation embodies our commitment to diversity both in our
workforce and procurement process and allows us to unlock
the potential of engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
enterprises in our supply chain.
Decmil is now a member of Kinaway Chamber of Commerce in
Victoria. Kinaway represents all Victorian Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander business owners.
We continue to work with these partners to increase the
number of certified and registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander businesses within our supply chain.
Although the Covid-19 pandemic continued to interrupt planned
activities this year, we continued to focus on meeting our
commitments and managed to implement various events and
activities to raise cultural competency across our business.
The project was also commended for achieving excellence
in environmental outcomes. The Infrastructure Sustainability
Council awarded the project with Excellence in Environmental
Outcomes Award for 2022.
Over the past year, we implemented various workshops and
cultural awareness training for corporate and project site staff.
Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies were held
across some of our project sites.
Reconciliation Day workshops and toolbox sessions were
held across our business to instill a greater understanding
of Reconciliation Day and an appreciation of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander culture. NAIDOC week activities took
place across our business and project sites in celebration of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

the right people for our business. We have revisited our
employment brand externally, allowing us to attract the talent
we need for future growth.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Principal Activities
COVID-19
Decmil was established in 1978 and since has grown to provide design, engineering, construction and
maintenance engineering construction services to the Infrastructure, Resources, Energy and
Construction sectors across Australia:
Infrastructure
▪ Government infrastructure projects including major road and bridge civil engineering projects
▪
Integrated transport solutions such as railway networks and airports.
Resources
▪ Non-process infrastructure, including industrial buildings, workshops and storage facilities
▪ Construction of workforce accommodation and associated facilities
▪ Structural mechanical and piping, processing units and systems and engineering infrastructure for
power delivery management
▪ Civil works including site preparation, excavation, bulk earthworks and construction of roads and
bridges.
Energy
▪ Oil & Gas projects such as wellhead installation, downstream processing components, gas
compressors and gas plants
▪ Non-process infrastructure such as control rooms, substations, workshops and accommodation
facilities
Decmil has experienced some operational impacts from COVID-19. Several projects were constrained
by reduced staffing levels in line with respective Government requirements. Over and above the state
border travel restrictions that severely impacted resource movements, material supply has been
significantly impacted, which includes strategic components and materials that were delayed from off-
shore suppliers. These delays caused a resequencing of works with additional costs in some projects.
An additional significant impact of COVID-19 was on the inability of the Decmil senior management team
to be able to freely traverse interstate borders, which has meant all projects outside of WA had to be
managed remotely from a senior management perspective.
As the date of this report all Decmil sites are operational, with strict hygiene and control measures in
place, however, this is subject to change.
Operational Overview
Operations continue to reflect the diversity of the Group, with project activity spanning public sector
infrastructure projects across Australia, non-process and worker accommodation facilities for the WA
and Queensland resource sectors, general in-situ construction in WA and balance of plant works in
renewable energy across multiple states.
Pleasingly revenue from operations has risen from $304 million in FY21 to $378 million in FY22.
Revenue growth is expected to continue in FY23 with $475 million of work forecast for FY23 already
contracted.
Key operational highlights for the year ended 30 June 2022 include:
Safety
▪ Feasibility, engineering, project management and construction services for the renewable energy
sector including solar, wind and battery.
▪ Strong safety performance with one lost time injury for the period resulting in a lost time injury
frequency rate (LTIFR) of 0.7 and a total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 3.6.
Construction
▪ Construction of schools, medical centres, facilities, airports and accommodation units for government
and local councils
▪ Construction of industrial and commercial buildings.
Operating and Financial Results
Revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 was $378 million compared to $304 million in the
prior year.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairments was a loss of $44 million
compared to a loss of $2 million in the prior year.
The consolidated entity reported a statutory net loss for the year of $103,230,000 (2021: loss of
$11,456,000).
Operating cash flow for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 was a net inflow of $6 million compared
to a net outflow of $22 million in the prior year.
At 30 June 2022 the balance sheet reflected an overall neutral net cash position compared to a net debt
position in the prior year of $8 million. Net assets were $38 million at 30 June 2022 compared to the prior
year of $129 million.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial
year.
After Balance Date Events
A letter from the Company’s banker, National Australia Bank Limited was received after the balance date
of 30 June 2022. In that letter, the bank waived any rights the bank may have had in respect of any
potential review events under the facility agreement. If this letter had been received on or prior to 30
June 2022, all else being equal, the consolidated entity’s working capital (current assets less current
liabilities) as at 30 June 2022 would be $30.7 million, after borrowings of $19.2 million are classified as a
non-current liability.
The dispute relating to the Amrun project with Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited was settled
on 3 August 2022.
Apart from the matters outlined above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the
financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated
entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial
years.
▪ Successful practical completion of the $110 million Plenty Road Stage 2 project for Major Road
Projects Victoria.
▪ Successful practical completion of the $400 million Mordialloc Freeway project for Major Road
Projects Victoria with JV partner McConnell Dowell. Decmil’s share of the project was $160 million.
▪ Successful practical completion of the $8 million Wooroloo project for Main Roads Western Australia.
Resources
▪ Award of the $7 million Christmas Creek Hydrogen Refuelling Station for Fortescue Metals Group,
marking Decmil’s entry into the emerging space.
▪ Award of a $4 million contract for the construction of surface water management measures on the
Cloudbreak mine site for Chichester Metals Pty Ltd. The project achieved practical completion on
schedule during the year.
▪ The $39 million of non-process infrastructure works at the Mesa A and Mesa J iron ore mines in the
Pilbara region of Western Australia for Rio Tinto are well progressed, with practical completion

Likely Developments and Outlook
Material Business Risks
Several of Decmil’s key sectors are experiencing strong market conditions.
The key challenges for the Group going into the 2022 financial year are:
These sectors and their drivers are summarised below:
▪
▪
Infrastructure (WA, Vic and Qld): significant spend in transport infrastructure (road and rail) over
the coming 5 years has been announced by all state governments. Decmil continues to build its
position in road and rail projects and has won contracts in both road and rail in Victoria, Queensland
and WA recently.
Iron Ore (WA): the iron ore price has remained very strong allowing Pilbara iron ore producers to
generate significant cashflows. All four major producers (BHP, Rio, Fortescue, Roy Hill) are each
investing in significant operational upgrade projects that are expected to continue over the next
several years.
▪ Other Mining (WA and Qld): strong prices in other mining commodities (gold, copper and lithium)
are also stimulating investment in several other large projects of which Decmil has won two lithium
mine related contracts in FY22.
▪ Energy (National): high levels of capital spend on renewable energy projects with the shift towards
a decarbonised economy. Decmil has now established a presence in both solar (Gullen and
Sunraysia) and wind (Warradarge, Yandin, Ryan Corner and Crookwell). Decmil is also constructing
one of Australia’s first hydrogen fuelling stations at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek mine.
Road/Rail investment by state ($ billion)

As at 30 June 2022 the Company has approximately $600 million of work in hand extending into FY26.
Accordingly, the Company expects revenue to grow in FY23.
▪ Building and maintaining balance sheet strength
▪ Delivering profitability within the current and future suite of projects
▪ Selecting projects that can deliver acceptable returns for commensurate risk.
Material risks that could adversely affect the Group include the following:
▪ Potential funding issues: The Company’s ability to effectively implement its business strategy over
time, may also depend in part on its ability to raise sufficient working capital. The Company’s capital
requirements depend on numerous factors. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt
funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not
available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or
otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
The Company relies on its primary bank to provide performance security facilities that allow the
Company to procure new work. As the Company grows its revenue, it may need to find new
performance security facilities which may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms. If
such performance security is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to
take advantage of growth opportunities.
▪ Current disputes: The Company is a party to a dispute regarding its Sunraysia Solar Farm contract.
This dispute may be resolved on a commercial basis and/or through formal dispute proceedings. The
timing and the outcome of this dispute is uncertain and may result in the Company not receiving
amounts which it has forecast or making payments which it has not forecast. This may result in
significant financial loss to the Company or lower than anticipated profit realisation. The Arbitration
proceedings against Schneider (downstream) remain on foot.
▪ Debt facilities: The Company has agreed debt and bonding facilities with both National Australia
Bank Limited, Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd, Horley Pty Ltd and its four main surety bond
providers.
If the Company is unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon the expiry of these facilities, the
Company may have to seek further equity funding, dispose of its assets, or enter into new debt
facilities on less favourable terms and there is no guarantee it will be able to do so. These factors
could materially affect the Company’s ability to operate its business and its financial performance.
The Company is also subject to various covenants and obligations contained in its debt facilities. In
the event that any of these are breached, the Company's lenders may cancel their commitments
under the facilities and require all amounts payable to them under or in connection with the facilities
to be repaid immediately. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon
maturity, or in the event of a breach of covenant, the Company may have to seek further equity
funding, dispose of its assets, or enter into new debt facilities on less favourable terms and there is
no guarantee it will be able to obtain further debt. These factors would materially affect the
Company's ability to continue to operate its business and its financial performance.

Material Business Risks (Cont’d)
Material Business Risks (Cont’d)
▪ Accreditations: The Company relies heavily upon various technical and financial accreditations to
operate its business. These include safety accreditations, quality assurance standards, building
licences, technical accreditations by State Main Roads agencies and various financial accreditations.
Many of these accreditations are assessed and monitored by State and Federal government agencies
on a regular basis. Any failure to maintain or comply with an accreditation can impact the eligibility of
the Company to participate in certain projects and/or sectors and this will have a material effect on the
business.
▪ Effective management of contracts and the risk of dispute: Effective ongoing contract
management seeks to ensure, among other things, appropriate project and customer selection and the
effective management of customer expectations and contract terms. There is a risk that the Company
may fail to manage its existing contracts appropriately and may therefore be subject to disputes with
customers regarding the payment of fees and liability for costs and delays. Such disputes can be
costly, result in further liability to the Company, absorb significant amounts of management time and
damage customer relationships. The Company may also experience payment defaults or delays,
whether in conjunction with disputes or otherwise, leading to increased debt levels.
▪ External factors that may impede operational activities: The Company's activities are subject to
numerous operational risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company's
activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of factors such as adverse weather
conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts,
plant and equipment, external services failure, industrial disputes and action, IT system failures,
mechanical failures and compliance with governmental requirements. Industrial and environmental
accidents could lead to substantial claims against the Company for injury or loss of life, and damage or
destruction to property, as well as regulatory investigations, penalties and the suspension of
operations. The occurrence of any one or a combination of these events may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's performance and the value of its assets.
▪ Safety: In order for the Company to continue working on engineering construction projects, a robust
safety methodology needs to be in place. A serious safety incident or fatality may impact the
Company's social licence to operate. This can affect the Company by increasing its costs for carrying
out work, increasing the time required to complete packages of work and impairing the Company’s
ability to win new work.
▪ Labour costs and availability: The Company's ability to remain productive and competitive and to
affect its planned growth initiatives depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled labour.
Tightening of the labour market in key regions due to a shortage of skilled labour, combined with a
high industry turnover rate and growing number of competing employers for skilled labour, may
inhibit the Company’s ability to hire and retain employees. The Company is exposed to increased
labour costs in markets where the demand for labour is strong. A shortage of skilled labour could
limit the Company’s ability to grow its business or lead to a decline in productivity and an increase in
training costs and adversely affect its safety record. Each of these factors could materially adversely
impact its revenue and, if costs increase or productivity declines, its operating margins.
▪ Tender processes and new contracts: The Company’s revenue is dependent on winning new
contracts with acceptable terms and conditions. The Company operates in competitive markets and
it is difficult to predict whether and when the Company will be awarded new contracts due to multiple
factors influencing how clients evaluate potential service providers, such as accreditations,
maintenance and safety standards, experience, reputation, client relationships and financial strength.
Consequently, the Company is subject to the risk of losing new awards to competitors which will
adversely impact its business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company's results of
operations and cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the timing and size of
new contract awards. The Company is also at risk from materially underestimating the cost of
providing services, equipment or plant.
▪ Homeground occupancy: Any abatement in economic activity in the Gladstone region will result in
a short-term diminution in the occupancy levels at the Homeground Village and lower levels of
revenue and profit than historically generated. The Company expects that in the medium-term new
opportunities will arise for Homeground Gladstone as energy prices rise and energy companies (gas,
hydrogen, renewables) progress investment plans; however, the risk of volatility in the short term
remains present.
▪
▪ Environmental regulation: The Company is subject to environmental regulation in accordance with
applicable state, territory or federal legislation and statutory requirements for the jurisdictions in
which it operates. The Company aims to continually improve its environmental performance.
Inflation: The buoyant economy and demand for construction services and commodities is
impacting the price of many construction components including steel, concrete, fuel and other items.
While most of the Company’s contracts contain rise and fall clauses, those clauses generally
reference publicly available cost indices which may not correspond to the price rises of cost inputs
and as such the profitability of individual projects may be impacted.
▪ Climate risk: There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and
proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the
Company include:
I.
the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-
carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company
may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to
climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or
environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on
industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will
endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no
guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences.
II. climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted
by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and
incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate
patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry
in which the Company operates.
▪ Coronavirus (COVID-19): The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global
economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the
Company remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to
medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or
industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations
and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
In addition, the Company’s Australian projects may be impacted by international supply issues and
the inability for the Company’s workforce to move between states. The delivery of key supplies and
construction components have all been either delayed or cancelled as a result of restricted
international trade in light of COVID-19. As a result of sudden and unpredictable border travel
changes, freight of interstate supply items may be impacted which in turn may cause delays in the
delivery of projects.
The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on
the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving,
and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous
disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of
COVID-19 on its revenue channels and any adverse impact on the Company.

Environmental Regulation
Under section 299(1)(f) of the Corporations Act, if the Company's operations are subject to any particular
and significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory, the
Company is required to provide details of the entity's performance in terms of compliance with
environmental regulations.
The Company is subject to environmental regulation in accordance with applicable state, territory or
federal legislation and statutory requirements for the jurisdictions in which it operates.
The Company does not meet thresholds required to provide reports under the NGERs scheme. The
assessment of this threshold is updated annually.
In the year ended 30 June 2022, the Company conducted 1,379,947 hours worked in which there were
no material breaches of environment legislation or approval conditions. The Company has one incident
pending outcome due to an unauthorised clearing of vegetation associated with project works.

During the financial year, the position of Company Secretary was held by Ian Hobson.
▪ Economic: General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency
exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as on its ability to
fund those activities.
The Company is exposed to the impact of economic cycles and, in particular, how these cycles
increase or decrease future capital expenditure by state and federal governments and by energy and
resources companies. These economic cycles are in turn impacted by a number of factors including:
the fiscal conditions of the economy; government policies on capital expenditure; and commodity
prices.
▪ Lump sum contracts: A portion of the Company’s contracts are ‘lump sum’ in nature and to the
extent costs exceed the contracted price, there is a risk these amounts may not be recovered. From
time-to-time, variations to the planned scope occur or issues arise during the construction phase of a
project, not anticipated at the time of bid. This may give rise to claims under the contract with the
principal in the ordinary course of business. Where such claims are not resolved in the ordinary
course of business, they may enter formal dispute and the outcome upon resolution of these claims
may be materially different to the position taken by Company.
▪ Market conditions: Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted
securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected
by many factors such as:
I. general economic outlook
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation
II.
III. interest rates and inflation rates
IV. changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors
V. the demand for, and supply of, capital
VI. terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable
influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the
future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
In addition, the extent of the effects of COVID-19 is at this stage uncertain and continuing to evolve.
The COVID-19 pandemic is having, and is expected to continue to have, a significant influence on
the volatility of equity markets generally and may continue to impact and influence the value of the
Company’s quoted securities.
▪ Litigation risk: The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property
claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further,
the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in
litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations,
financial performance and financial position.
▪ Reliance on key personnel: The Company’s ability to remain productive, profitable and competitive
and to affect its planned growth initiatives, depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled labour.
Tightening of the labour market in key regions due to a shortage of skilled labour, combined with a
high industry turnover rate and growing number of competing employers for skilled labour, may
inhibit the Company’s ability to hire and retain employees.
The Company is exposed to increased labour costs in markets where the demand for labour is
strong. A shortage of skilled labour could limit the Company’s ability to grow its business or lead to a

Each of these factors could materially adversely impact its revenue and, if costs increase or productivity
declines, its operating margins.

1.
Remuneration governance
1.1
Remuneration committee
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors
compensation arrangements for the directors and Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration
of directors and the ELT on a periodic basis. The assessment is made with reference to the Group’s
performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed
companies in similar industries.
1.2
Use of remuneration consultants
To ensure the Company and Remuneration Committee is fully informed when making remuneration
decisions, it from time to time seeks external remuneration advice and uses industry salary survey data.
During the financial year, the fixed remuneration of executives is benchmarked against peers based on
industry salary surveys sourced from AON Hewitt and Mercer.
In the past, Ernst & Young has also been engaged to provide advice on the structure of the long term
incentive plans and provide a comparison of the Company’s plan to market trends.
For the purposes of the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive
Remuneration) Act 2001 (the Act), any guidance provided by remuneration consultants throughout the
financial year was not considered a remuneration recommendation in relation to KMP as defined by
Division 1 of Part 1.2 of Chapter 1 of the Act.
2.
2.1
Executive remuneration approach and structure
Remuneration philosophy
The performance of the Company ultimately depends upon the quality of its directors and ELT. In order
to maintain performance and create shareholder value, the Company must attract, motivate and retain
highly skilled and experienced directors and executives.
Decmil aims to provide competitive at market remuneration and rewards in order to:
▪ attract the right people who are aligned to Decmil’s values and behaviours
▪ motivate employees so they understand their contribution to Decmil
▪
▪
recognise employees’ effort and commitment to Decmil
retain the highest quality employees within Decmil.
Decmil ensures:
▪ appropriate compensation is given to executives for the services they provide
▪ attraction and retention of executives with the required skills to effectively manage the operations
and growth of the business
▪ executives are motivated to perform in the best interest of Decmil
▪ gender pay equality.
2.2
Executive remuneration structure
The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of
factors, including experience, qualifications, job level and overall performance of the Company. The
service agreements between the Company and specified directors and executives are on a continuing
basis which are not expected to change in the immediate future.

Remuneration practices
Remuneration
Component
Fixed
remuneration
Vehicle
Comprises base salary,
superannuation contributions and
other benefits such as motor vehicles
and life insurance.
STI
The STI component of the KMP
remuneration is paid in cash.
Link to Performance
Company and individual
performance are
considered during the
annual remuneration
review.
The STI KPIs include:
▪
▪
▪
achievement of
EBITDA target as a
hurdle for payment of
the STI
a budgeted target in
relation to Group
cash flow from
operations
targets set for safety
performance based
on Total Recordable
Injury Frequency
Rates and Lost Time
Injury Frequency
Rate.
Purpose
To provide competitive
fixed remuneration for
senior executives as
determined by the scope
of their position and the
knowledge, skill and
experience required to
perform the role.
The STI has been
designed to support the
remuneration philosophy
by:
▪
rewarding KMP for
exceptional business
performance
(financial and
operational)
▪
▪
focusing KMP on
achieving Key
Performance
Indicators (KPIs)
which contribute to
shareholder value
providing significant
bonus differentials
based on
performance against
KPIs.
LTI
Executives are entitled to participate
in the performance rights scheme
approved by shareholders.
Performance rights do not attract
dividends or voting rights.
To better align executives
to the interests of
shareholders and provide
a reward based on long
term growth in share price
and earnings.
Vesting of awards is
dependent upon share
price targets and
continuous employment.
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration appropriate to their
position, responsibilities and performance within the business and aligned with market practice.
The Company’s policy is to position fixed remuneration around the 50th percentile of salary bands based
on major industry surveys produced by AON Hewitt and Mercer. This ensures Decmil remains
competitive with its peers.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed with each executive and is based
predominantly on the Company’s performance and shareholder value. Incentives are linked to
predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to
approving incentives, bonuses, rights and shares. The policy is designed to attract high calibre
executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Where applicable, executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution
required by the Government, which during the year was 10% (subject to the statutory cap), and do not
receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice all or part of
their remuneration to increase payments towards superannuation.
Upon retirement, specified directors and executives are paid employee entitlements and incentives
accrued to the date of their retirement.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at cost to the Company and expensed.
Where performance rights and shares are given to directors and executives, they are valued according
to the accounting standards.
2.4
Link between Company performance and executive remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors
and executives. There have been two methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being a
performance based short term incentive based on key performance indicators, and the second being the
issue of performance rights to executive directors and executives to encourage the alignment of
personal and shareholder interests.

Financial measures are assessed based on the Group’s audited financial
results.
In September of the financial year after the target year.
The payment of any accrued or part STI benefit in these circumstances is at
the discretion of the Board.
The STI award opportunity is based on a percentage of an individual’s base salary. For the CEO, a
maximum award opportunity of 100% of total fixed remuneration is available. The STI is based on the
previous financial year’s base salary earnings to 30 June before performance based remuneration
reviews.
2.6
Long term incentive plan
The LTI offered to key executives forms a key part of their remuneration and assists to align their
interests with the long term interests of shareholders.
The purpose of the LTI Scheme is to reward key executives for attaining results over a long measurable
period and for staying with the organisation. The LTI Scheme is a share based plan consisting of
performance rights and shares which have pre-determined vesting conditions.
The LTI Scheme is designed to:
create a strong link between the eligible participants’ performance and Decmil’s performance
▪
▪ assist in retention of employees
▪
contribute to eligible participants feeling they own part of Decmil and have an influence in the
direction of Decmil.
General Terms of the LTI Plan
How is it paid?
How much can be earned (i.e. maximum
opportunity)?
How is performance measured?
When is performance measured?
The Company uses performance rights and restricted shares in its
long term incentive plan.
The CEO and executives can earn up to 100% of total fixed
remuneration converted into performance rights at the 20-day
VWAP to 30 June.
Vesting hurdles for performance rights for executives are based on
share price targets (80%) and continuous employment (20%).
The achievement of vesting conditions for performance rights are
assessed between July and September after three years after the
financial year of which the grant of the performance rights was
made.
Remuneration Report (Cont’d)
General Terms of the LTI Plan (cont’d)
What happens if an executive leaves or
there is a change of control?
Are executives eligible for dividends?
If an employee resigns, or his or her employment is terminated
due to misconduct or performance related reasons, all
performance rights and restricted shares are immediately forfeited.
If an employee retires or an employee’s employment terminates
for redundancy prior to performance rights or restricted shares
vesting, the Board may use its discretion to vest the performance
rights or restricted shares.
Where a change of control event occurs in respect to the
Company, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may determine the
treatment of any unvested performance rights or restricted shares
and the timing of such treatment.
Only where the Board does not exercise its discretion to determine
a particular treatment, will all unvested performance rights and
restricted shares vest on change of control.
Performance rights do not accrue dividends.
For executives, performance rights will vest (that is, shares will be issued or become transferable to the
executives upon satisfaction of the performance rights vesting conditions) to the extent that the
applicable performance hurdles set by the Board are satisfied. Subject to achievement of the hurdle, the
performance rights may be converted (on a one-for-one basis) to fully paid ordinary shares in the
Company.
Unvested performance rights will be forfeited at the end of the grant period if not vested. If an executive
resigns from his or her employment, any unvested performance rights will lapse, unless the Board
determines otherwise.
Performance hurdles
Each year the Board reviews and considers the appropriateness of the performance hurdles and, where
necessary, makes adjustments and amendments to reflect market conditions.
Below is a summary of the vesting conditions that relate to unvested performance rights as at 30 June
2022:
a. 20% of Performance Rights are subject to continuous service of employment. This portion will
vest at 100% three years after the financial year of which the grant of the Performance Rights
are made
b. 20% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices)
over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $0.80
c. 30% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices)
over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $1.20
d. 30% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices)
over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $1.60.
The above vesting conditions will be assessed three years after the financial year of which the grant of
the performance rights was made.
All performance rights related to prior year schemes have lapsed and therefore the details of these
schemes have not been included in this report.

Other executives in the Company have similar executive service agreements which include terms and
conditions relating to confidentiality, restraint on employment and intellectual property. The executive
service agreements are typically not fixed term agreements and continue on an ongoing basis until
terminated.
These agreements may be terminated by notice of either party or earlier in the event of certain breaches.
In the event of termination for any reason, the Company will pay accrued and untaken annual leave, and
subject to legislation, any accrued and untaken long service leave owing to the executive. Termination
payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance
of serious misconduct, the Company can terminate employment at any time.

5. Non-Executive Director fee arrangements
Non-Executive Directors are appointed under appointment letters that deal with, amongst other matters,
the following:
terms of appointment and tenure
▪
▪ entitlements
▪ duties and responsibilities
▪
indemnities, insurances and access.
The Board’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies
for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board approves payments to the Non-Executive Directors
and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountabilities.
Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can
be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders during a general meeting.
Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity however to
align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the
Company.
Non-Executive Director (NED) fees consist of base fees and committee chair fees. The payment of
committee chair fees recognises the additional time commitment required by NEDs who chair Board
committees. The chair of the Board attends all committee meetings but does not receive any additional
committee fees in addition to base fees.
The table below summaries the NED fee structure inclusive of superannuation:

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to NEDs is subject to approval by
shareholders during a general meeting and this maximum sum cannot be increased without
shareholders’ approval by ordinary resolution at a general meeting. The maximum aggregate amount
that may be paid to NEDs for their services is up to $650,000 during any financial year.

9. Annual General Meeting voting
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’):
At the 2021 AGM, 98% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the
year ended 30 June 2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its
remuneration practices.
[End of Remuneration Report]
The Company has indemnified the Directors and Officers of the Company for costs incurred, in their
capacity as a director, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good
faith.
During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors
and Officers of the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The
contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify
the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.
Proceedings on Behalf of Company

Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Limited (‘Schneider’) and Sunraysia Solar Project Pty Ltd (‘Sunraysia’).
Sunraysia has withheld the maximum level of liquidated damages in its administration of the contract
with the Company. The Company is disputing this retention of liquidated damages by Sunraysia and
seeking damages from Schneider for delays caused by Schneider equipment. Whilst the Company
expects a favourable outcome on these disputes, in the event that it is unsuccessful in its claims, it may
not recover the full value of withheld liquidated damages.
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a
party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those
proceedings.

The financial statements of Decmil Group Limited (‘the Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2022
comprise of the Company and its controlled entities (collectively referred to as ‘the consolidated entity’)
and the consolidated entity’s interests in joint operations. The separate financial statements of the parent
entity, Decmil Group Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the
Corporations Act 2001.
Decmil Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors dated
29 August 2022.
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the
current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards
Board (‘AASB’), and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented
below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and
are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected
non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where
applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of
property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It
also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 1 (ad).
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 35.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2022, the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $103.2 million after
recognising an impairment of goodwill of $25.5 million and derecognition of deferred tax assets of $22.5
million.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of business.
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the directors and
management continuing to manage its cash flows in line with its existing cash reserves and banking
facilities to successfully execute its contracted projects in hand and win new work to operate within the
Company’s cash flow forecast from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled
by Decmil Group Limited at the end of the reporting period. The Company controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. The assets, liabilities and results of all controlled
entities are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the consolidated entity from the date on
which control is obtained by the consolidated entity. The consolidation of a controlled entity is
discontinued from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated on
consolidation. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with those adopted by the consolidated entity.
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax
assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment
recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to
be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are
enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
- When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
- When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in controlled entities,
associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and
losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future
taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised
deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits
available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities;
and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable
entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Tax consolidation
Decmil Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax
consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred
tax assets and liabilities of the entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are
recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The
tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit
of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the
controlled entities nor a distribution by the controlled entities to the head entity.
(c) Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets
Contract assets are recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred goods or services to the
customer but where the consolidated entity is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration.
Contract assets are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a
customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity
recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the
consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer.
(d) Interests in Joint Arrangements
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture
where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.
Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in
each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The consolidated entity’s interests in the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of
the consolidated financial statements.
Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other
parties’ interests. When the consolidated entity makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not
recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint operations until it resells those goods/assets to
a third party.
(e) Operating Segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented
is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM').
The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their
performance.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(f) Plant and Equipment
(h) Right-of-use Assets
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their
useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The
depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Plant and Equipment
Depreciation Rate
Owned plant and equipment
Leased plant and equipment
5% to 33%
12.5% to 20%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the
period in which they arise.
(g) Non-Current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal
groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present
condition and their sale must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and
assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent
increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but
not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest
and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of
financial position, in current assets.
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is
measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of
costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site
or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to
obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated
useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease
liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease
payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
(i) Lease Liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially
recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated
entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to
be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the
option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying
amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a
change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and
termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding
right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(j) Impairment of Assets
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which
are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The
measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of
each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since
initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost
or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-
month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime
expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months.
Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has
increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The
amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective
interest rate.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss
allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or
loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding
expense through profit or loss.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and
are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax
discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not
have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the acquisition
date fair value of any previously held equity interest over the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
It is allocated to the consolidated entity’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units,
representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not being larger than an operating segment.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity
disposed of.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
For the purpose of impairment testing and since the acquisition date of the business combination,
goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units that are expected
to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the
acquiree were assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the
goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for
internal management purposes and is not larger than a segment.
(l) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term
employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of
the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries
and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to
be paid when the obligation is settled.
The consolidated entity’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick
leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.
The consolidated entity’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements
are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
Other long term employee benefits
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees
render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the
expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated
future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates
determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that
have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in
assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income in the periods in which the changes occur.
The consolidated entity’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current
provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the consolidated entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in
which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
Equity-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees
in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the
exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is
independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into
account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date
and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free
interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine
whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No
account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in
equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant
date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the
expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the
cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions
is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to
market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been
met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has
not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any
modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of
modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to
satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the
consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for
the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the
cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result
of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow
can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to
settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation.
(n) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the
end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at
amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days
of recognition.
Revenue from Construction Activities:
For long-term service contracts and projects for constructing, manufacturing or developing an asset the
customer value is created over time during the contract period and it is accounted for as a single
performance obligation or multiple performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This is because
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the entity’s performance in
processing each transaction as and when each transaction is processed; the performance creates or
enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced; or the performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the
entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The revenue is
recognised over time by using the input method.
For the input method the revenue is recognised on the basis of the efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of
a performance obligation such as resources consumed, labour hours expended and costs incurred,
relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer
such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any
other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely
amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle
whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues
until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts
received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Services:
Revenue from service orders and term projects is recognised when the entity satisfies the performance
obligation at a point in time generally when the significant acts have been completed and when transfer
of control occurs or for services that are not significant transactions revenue is recognised as the
services are provided.
Accommodation:
Accommodation revenues are recognised as services are performed, which for the accommodation
segment is over the term of the customer’s stay.
(o) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Interest income:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term
highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.
(p) Revenue and Other Income
The financial reporting standard on revenue from contracts with customers establishes a five-step model
to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or
services to a customer. An asset (goods or services) is transferred when or as the customer obtains
control of that asset.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(q) Financing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the
cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income in the period in which they are incurred.
(r) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Decmil Group
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary
shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for
no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(t) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer
at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of
the reporting period.
(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of
GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant revenue authority. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(v) Financial Instruments
Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments:
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All other financial
instruments are recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting or settlement
date accounting. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in
which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in
which the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it
does not retain control of the financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the statement of
financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
At initial recognition the financial asset or financial liability is measured at its fair value plus or minus, in
the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability.
Classification and measurement of financial assets:
Financial assets classified as measured at amortised cost: A financial asset is measured at amortised
cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or
loss, that is (a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect
contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Typically trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances are classified in this category.
Financial assets that are a debt asset instrument classified as measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income: There were no financial assets classified in this category at reporting year end
date.
Financial assets that are an equity investment classified as measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income: There were no financial assets classified in this category at reporting year end
date.
Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss: There were no financial
assets classified in this category at reporting year end date.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss in either of the following
circumstances: the liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported internally on a fair value basis; or the
designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. All
other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Reclassification
of any financial liability is not permitted.
(w) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services
performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of
the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as
non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment.
The trade receivables and contract assets are subject to the expected credit loss model under the
financial reporting standard on financial instruments. The methodology applied for impairment loss is the
simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance
for all trade receivables and contract assets. The expected lifetime losses are recognised from initial
recognition of these assets. These assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and
the days past due for measuring the expected credit losses. The allowance matrix is based on its
historical observed default rates over a period of 36 months over the expected life of the trade
receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
(x) Current and Non-current Classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-
current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or
consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12
months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(y) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.

(z) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and
presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange
rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into
Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the
transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment
is disposed of.
(aa) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The consolidated entity measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or
non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the consolidated entity would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to
transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and
willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is
used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the
characteristics of the specific asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one
or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of
observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or
liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the
absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the consolidated entity at the end
of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or
minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and
transport costs).
The fair value of liabilities and the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related
to equity-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in
relation to the transfer of such financial instrument, by reference to observable market information where
such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques
are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
(ab) Rounding of Amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been
rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in
certain cases, the nearest dollar.
(ac) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(ad) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on
historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation
of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within
the consolidated entity.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration
extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and
geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes,
there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any
significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity
unfavourably as at the reporting date as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Impairment of goodwill and intangibles
The amount of goodwill is tested annually for impairment. This annual impairment test is based on
assumptions that are affected by expected future market or economic conditions. As a result, judgement
is required in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by management, in particular those
relating to the forecasted revenue growth and profit margins. The disclosures about goodwill are
included in note 19, which explains that small changes in the key assumptions used could give rise to an
impairment of the goodwill balance in the future. Actual outcomes could vary from these estimates.
Revenue recognised over time:
The entity has revenue where the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised
over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. A
single method is applied consistently for measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied
over time.
Assessing the satisfaction of performance obligations over time requires judgment and the consideration
of many criteria that should be met to qualify such as whether the customer presently is obligated to pay
for an asset, whether the customer has legal title, whether the entity has transferred physical possession
of the asset, whether the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset, and whether the customer has accepted the asset. Events and circumstances frequently do not
occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated under the assumptions occur, actual results are still
likely to be different from the estimates since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as
expected and the variation may be material. The related account balances at the end of the reporting
year are disclosed in the notes 4 and 13 on revenues and contract assets and contract liabilities.

NOTE 3: Segment Reporting
Contract modifications:
A contract with a customer is accounted for as a separate contract if (1) the scope of the contract
increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct and (2) the price of the
contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the entity's stand-alone selling prices of
the additional promised goods or services. In order to faithfully depict the entity's rights and obligations
arising from a modified contract, the modifications may be accounted for some prospectively and others
on a cumulative catch-up basis. The accounting for the modification depends on whether the additional
promised goods or services are distinct. The accounting for contract modification requires judgement. In
addition, if the entity has not yet determined the price, management has to estimate the change to the
transaction price arising from the contract modification using the variable consideration guidance in the
financial reporting standard. Contract modifications may have a significant impact on the entity's ability to
record revenue. The related account balances at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in the notes
4 and 13 on revenues and contract assets and liabilities.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a
three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value
measurement, being: level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the consolidated entity can access at the measurement date; level 2: Inputs other than
quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly; and level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required
to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed
in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models.
These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant
adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant
judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and
calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination
is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the
consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters
is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax
provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are
reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing
performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The consolidated entity operates as two segments.
Construction and Engineering
▪ Decmil Australia Pty Ltd – multi-discipline design, civil engineering and construction services
▪ Decmil Southern Pty Ltd – civil engineering and infrastructure construction services
▪ Decmil Maintenance Pty Ltd – dormant entity formerly known as Decmil Infrastructure Pty Ltd
▪ Eastcoast Development Engineering Pty Ltd – acquired business now integrated into the Decmil
Australia Pty Ltd entity
▪ Decmil Engineering Pty Ltd – acquired business now integrated into Decmil Australia Pty Ltd entity
▪ Decmil PNG Limited – dormant construction arm of Decmil located in Papua New Guinea.
Accommodation
▪ Homeground Villages Pty Ltd – holder of the units in the Homeground Gladstone Unit Trust
▪ Homeground Gladstone Unit Trust – Homeground Gladstone Accommodation Village located in
Gladstone, Queensland.
The consolidated entity is domiciled in Australia. 100% of revenue from external customers is generated
from Australia.
The consolidated entity derives 28%, 25% and 10% (2021: 48%, 9% and 8%) of its revenues from the
top three external customers. All of the consolidated entity’s assets are located in Australia.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
a. Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the chief operating decision makers with
respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are
consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the consolidated entity.
b.
Intersegment transactions
Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segments’ overall
proportion of revenue generation within the consolidated entity. Management believes this is
representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing
segment performance and cost recoveries.
NOTE 2: New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
c. Segment assets
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting
period ended 30 June 2022. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out
below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and
recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards.
Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies
for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting
Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this
time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated entity's financial statements.
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that
receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets
are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

The consolidated entity leases land and buildings for its offices under agreements of between five to
seven years with options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms
of the leases are renegotiated. The consolidated entity also leases software as a service under
agreements of between two to five years.
The consolidated entity leases plant and equipment under agreements of less than twelve months and
office equipment under agreements of three years. These leases are either short-term or low-value, so
have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.

Goodwill acquired through business combination are allocated to the Construction and Engineering
cash-generating unit (CGU). Goodwill is tested for impairment on each reporting period.
The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's goodwill has been determined by value-in-use
calculations using discounted cash flow models, based on a 1-year budget approved by the Board and
extrapolated for a further 4 years based on the assumptions below, together with a terminal value.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is most sensitive.
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for each CGU:
a. 12.9% (2021: 12.9%) pre-tax discount rate
b. 2.0% (2021: 5.0%) per annum projected revenue growth rate from FY2023 onwards
c. 5.0% (2021: 2.5%) per annum increase in operating costs and overheads from FY2023 onwards
The discount rate of 12.9% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the
consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share
price relative to market movements.
Management believes the projected 2.0% revenue growth rate and 5.0% increase in operating costs and
overheads is justified based on past experience and current market outlook.
At the date of this report there has been no reason to adjust these assumptions.
As a result of this analysis, management has recognised an impairment charge of $25,482,000 in the
current year against goodwill.
Sensitivity
As disclosed above, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing
of goodwill. If the assumptions would change (all changes taken in isolation), by the following rates as
below:
a. Pre-tax discount rate: there would be a movement of $1,874,000 if the pre-tax discount rate
changes by 0.5%.
b. Revenue growth rate: there would be a movement of $5,285,000 if the per annum projected
revenue growth rate changes by 0.5%.
c. Operating costs and overheads: there would be a movement of $4,526,000 if the per annum
percentage change in operating costs and overheads changes by 0.5%.

The term loan is a syndicated credit facility provided by Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd and Horley Pty
Ltd. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears at the rate of 10.00% per annum based on the face value. The
term loan repayment date is 31 July 2025.
The bank overdraft is with National Australia Bank Limited. Although the bank overdraft repayment date
is 31 July 2023, it has been classified as “current” because the consolidated entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end of the
reporting period. The lender has not made a demand for accelerated repayment. A letter from the bank
was received after the balance date of 30 June 2022. In that letter, the bank waived any rights the bank
may have had in respect of any potential review events under the facility agreement. As such the bank
overdraft is classified as “current” and the amount so classified is $19,252,000 at the end of the reporting
period.
The term loan and bank overdraft are secured by first ranking security over the consolidated entity’s
property as detailed in note 29(d).
As at the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with its obligations under its facilities.

(a) Provision for Employee Entitlements
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and
the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having
completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the consolidated entity does not
expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be
settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since
the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in
the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements
that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period
of service.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in
proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to
one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Decmil Group Limited Employee Share Plan Trust was
established. Shares allocated to employees stay in the trust and vest to employees after two years of
continuous employment from the date of grant. There was no allocation made to employees during the
year ended 30 June 2022.
During the year ended 30 June 2022, no shares were issued to executives upon vesting of performance
rights.
On 5 November 2020 a share consolidation took place, reducing every 10 securities on issue to 1
security, applying to shares, performance rights and options on issue at that date.
(b) Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the consolidated entity in order to maintain an optimal debt to equity
ratio, provide shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the consolidated entity can fund its
operations and continue as a going concern. The consolidated entity’s debt and capital includes ordinary
share capital and financial liabilities (including bank guarantee and surety bonding facilities), supported
by financial assets.
Management manages the consolidated entity’s capital by assessing the consolidated entity’s financial
risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. This
includes the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and the requirement for further
equity funding in the consolidated entity. The deployment of capital to the consolidated entity’s assets
and business units is also reviewed regularly and managed to ensure rates of return continue to be at an
acceptable level. Where necessary, management may consider redeploying capital within the
consolidated entity or alternatively returning capital to shareholders.
Unused tax losses of which no deferred tax asset has been recognised amount to $187 million.

(a) Performance Rights Plan
The Board believes that the long term incentive offered to key executives forms a key part of their
remuneration and assists to align their interests with the long term interests of Shareholders. For details
of the Long Term Incentive Plan, refer to the Directors’ Report.

The fair value of the performance rights granted during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 was
$610,230. Performance rights are valued using various valuation methodologies, including Binomial and
Barrier option pricing models. Expected life is based on management’s best estimate at the time of
valuation of vesting criteria being achieved. The fair value has been discounted to reflect the probability
of not meeting the vesting conditions. The discount factors were determined through an analysis of
relative share price to the date of grant and the likelihood of rights being forfeited prior to vesting.
The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year ended 30 June 2021 was
$0.125. These values were calculated using a Binomial and Barrier option pricing model applying the
following inputs:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
NOTE 32: Financial Instruments
NOTE 32: Financial Instruments (Cont’d)
The consolidated entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts
receivable and payable and borrowings.
The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group
of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.
The consolidated entity does not use derivatives nor speculates in the trading of derivative instruments.
Price risk
(i) Financial Risk Management Policies
The Chief Financial Officer and other senior finance executives regularly analyse financial risk exposure
and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and
forecasts.
The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated entity in meeting its financial
targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.
Treasury functions are performed in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk
management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis.
(ii) Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the consolidated entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate
risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and liabilities recognised at the end of the
reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows.
Liquidity risk
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that
adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. Unused facilities are disclosed in note 29(d).
Credit risk
Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by counterparties
to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner are subject to credit risk. These arise principally
from cash balances with banks, cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The maximum
exposure to credit risk is the total of the fair value of the financial assets at the end of the reporting year.
Credit risk on cash balances with banks and any other financial instruments is limited because the
counter-parties are entities with acceptable credit ratings. For expected credit losses (ECL) on financial
assets, a simplified approach is permitted by the financial reporting standards on financial instruments
for financial assets that do not have a significant financing component, such as trade receivables. On
initial recognition, a day-1 loss is recorded equal to the 12 month ECL (or lifetime ECL for trade
receivables), unless the assets are considered credit impaired.
For credit risk on trade receivables an ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition
of the debtors and an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Reviews and assessments of credit
exposures in excess of designated limits are made. Renewals and reviews of credits limits are subject to
the same review process.
Note 11 discloses the maturity of the cash and cash equivalents balances. Cash and cash equivalents
are also subject to the impairment requirements of the standard on financial instruments.
There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2022.
In respect of the parent entity, credit risk also incorporates the exposure of Decmil Group Limited to the
liabilities of all the parties to the deed of cross guarantee. Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis
and reviewed regularly by finance executives and the Board. It arises from exposures to customers as
well as through deposits with financial institutions.
The consolidated entity is exposed to price risks associated with labour costs and to a lesser extent, fuel
and steel prices. Wherever possible, the consolidated entity contracts out such exposures or allows for
the rise and fall for changes in prices or provides sufficient contingencies to cover for such price risks.
(iii) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis:
The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a
fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other
financial instruments. As such, the amounts may not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

(iv) Net Fair Values of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amount of financial instruments reflect their fair value.
(v) Sensitivity Analysis
Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk
The consolidated entity has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk and
price risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results
and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The consolidated entity’s cash and cash equivalents and borrowings are subject to interest rate
sensitivities. At 30 June 2022, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate,
with all other variables remaining constant is immaterial.
Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2022, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk, with all other
variables remaining constant would be as follows:
Consolidated Entity
2022
$000
2021

Change in profit
Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption)
(3,591)
(3,064)
Change in equity
Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption)
(3,591)
(3,064)
In the opinion of the consolidated entity’s management, the majority of the above increase in labour cost,
had it been incurred, would have been negated by an increase in the price of services offered by the
consolidated entity.
The above sensitivity analysis has been performed on the assumption that all other variables remain
unchanged.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.
The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to
approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The non-current asset held for sale has been valued using a discounted cash flow model.
In June 2022, the Group’s property, being the Homeground accommodation village located near
Gladstone, Queensland, was revalued by an independent valuer (Ernst and Young). The primary
valuation method utilised by the valuer was a discounted cash flow model.
Key assumptions utilised by the valuer in the preparation of its valuation included:
▪ Useful life of the asset is 20 years with no terminal value
▪ Various occupancy assumptions over the estimated useful life based on expected future
accommodation demand
▪ Room rate growth of 2.5% from FY24
▪ A nominal post-tax discount rate range of 9.0% to 11.0%.
The independent valuation resulted in values within the range of $58,900,000 to $124,400,000.
The Homeground Gladstone property is currently on the market and classified as a non-current asset
held for sale and is valued at $56,865,000, as the directors believe the sale will be completed before 30
June 2023.

c) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies of the parent entity are consistent with those of the consolidated entity, as
disclosed in note 1, except for the following:
-
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity.
NOTE 36: Subsequent Events
A letter from the Company’s banker, National Australia Bank Limited was received after the balance date
of 30 June 2022. In that letter, the bank waived any rights the bank may have had in respect of any
potential review events under the facility agreement. If this letter had been received on or prior to 30
June 2022, all else being equal, the consolidated entity’s working capital (current assets less current
liabilities) as at 30 June 2022 would be $30.7 million, after borrowings of $19.2 million are classified as a
non-current liability.
The dispute relating to the Amrun project with Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited was settled
on 3 August 2022.
Apart from the matters outlined above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the
financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated
entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial
years.

Key Audit Matters
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.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Recognition of Revenue
Refer to Note 4 in the financial statements
The Group’s largest source of revenue is from
construction and engineering.
Construction and engineering revenue is recognised
by management after assessing all factors relevant
to each contract, including specifically assessing the
following as applicable:
• Determination of the stage of completion and
measurement of progress towards performance
obligations;
• Estimation of total contract revenue and costs
including the estimation of cost contingencies;
• Determination of contractual entitlement and
assessment of the probability of customer
approval of variations and acceptance of claims;
and
• Estimation of project completion date.
This area is a key audit matter due to the number
and type of estimation events over the course of the
contract life, the unique nature of individual contract
conditions, leading to complex and judgmental
revenue recognition from contracts.
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing contractual terms with customers and
substantiating project revenues and costs incurred
against underlying supporting documents;
• Assessing management’s
in
determining the stage of completion, total contract
revenue and total estimated costs;
assumptions
• Checking the mathematical accuracy of revenue
recognised during the year based on the stage of
completion;
• Reading
and
customers
subcontractor
correspondence and discussing the progress of
projects with project managers for any potential
disputes, variation order claims, known technical
issues or significant events that could impact the
estimated contract costs;
• Discussing the rationale for revisions made to
estimated costs with project personnel and
to
management and checking explanations
supporting documentation;
• Challenging management’s assessment and testing
the reasonableness of the provision for foreseeable
losses; and
• Challenging the judgements made by management
in estimating the expected credit loss relating to
contract assets.
Non-Current Asset Held-for-sale
Refer to Note 15 in the financial statements
The Group owns a property in the Homeground
Accommodation Village in Gladstone, Queensland.
During the year ended 30 June 2022, the fair value
of the property was independently assessed by an
external valuer. With reference to the valuation
the property at
report, management valued
$56,865,000.
The primary valuation method used by the external
valuer was a discounted cash flow (DCF) model.
We determined this area to be a key audit matter as
there are judgements involved in the preparation of
the DCF model such as the useful life of the asset,
estimated occupancy rates over the useful life,
estimated growth rates and an appropriate post-tax
discount rate.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Refer to Note 19 in the financial statements
As at 30 June 2022, the Group impaired Goodwill
by $25,482,000. Following this impairment, the
carrying amount of goodwill is $50,000,000.
Management performs an annual impairment test
on the recoverability of the goodwill as required by
Australian Accounting Standards.
We determined this area to be a key audit matter
due to the size of the goodwill balance and because
the directors’ assessment of the value-in-use of the
cash generating unit (CGU) involves significant
management judgement about the identification of
CGU, the future underlying cash flows of the
business and the discount rate applied.
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing management’s determination of whether
there are any impairment indicators;
• Assessing the valuation methodology used by the
external valuer;
the valuation and assessing
• Assessing the competency of the external valuer;
• Reviewing
the
assumptions and inputs used for reasonableness to
ensure that they were valid at 30 June 2022; and
• Reviewing whether management met the criteria to
recognise the property as a non-current asset held-
for-sale.
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing management’s determination that the
goodwill should be allocated to one CGU;
• Assessing the valuation methodology used to
determine the recoverable amount of goodwill;
• Challenging
the
reasonableness
key
assumptions, including the cash flow projections,
expected revenue growth rates, the discount rates
and sensitivities used;
of
• Reviewing management’s sensitivity analysis over
the key assumptions used in the model;
• Checking the mathematical accuracy of the value-
in-use model and
to
supporting evidence, such as approved budgets
and considering the reasonableness of these
budgets; and
input data
reconciling
Going Concern
Refer to Note 1 in the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group
incurred a loss of $103,230,000.
The directors’ have prepared the financial report on
a going concern basis based on a cash flow forecast
which considers the factors disclosed in Note 1.
We determined this assessment of going concern to
be a key audit matter due to the significant
judgements involved in preparing the cash flow
forecast.
• Reviewing the appropriateness of disclosures in the
financial statements.
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing the appropriateness and mathematical
accuracy of the cash flow forecast prepared by
management;
• Challenging
the
reasonableness of
the key
assumptions used in the cash flow forecast;
• Critically assessing the directors’ reasons of why
they believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial
report on a going concern basis; and
• Assessing the adequacy of the going concern
disclosures in the financial report.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from

can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
