Dear Shareholder, 

We are pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for financial year 2011/2012 (FY12). 

OUR STRATEGIC FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE GROWTH 

Having  completed  the  restructuring  phase  of  our  strategy  in  FY11,  this  last  year  has  been  focused  on  pursuing 
“sustainable growth” strategies from a strong foundation.  We made targeted investments in large mining equipment 
in our Australian and Canadian businesses and positioned the Indonesian business for fleet investment in FY13.  The 
low cost high growth copper-producing region of Chile was identified as a market that is expected to provide another 
low risk opportunity to achieve value-creating growth for shareholders. 

To  underpin  our  growth  strategy  we  have  continued  to  lengthen  our  debt  maturity  which  the  completion  of  the 
US$140 million debt issuance in the US Private Placement Market provides. 

DELIVERING IMPROVED RETURNS TO SHAREHOLDERS 

Central to the Board’s decision-making process is a firm focus on delivering quality returns to shareholders. 

The  restructuring  and  growth  work  has  delivered  another  year  of  improved  financial  performance  at  Emeco  with 
operating NPAT growing 27% and Return on Capital (ROC) increasing from 11.3% to 13.2% over FY12. 

The Board amended the dividend policy in February 2012, increasing the payout ratio to 40–60% of annual operating 
NPAT,  franked  to  the  fullest  extent  possible.    The  Company  delivered  20%  growth  in  ordinary  dividends  in  FY12, 
declaring 6.0 cents per share fully franked. 

While we are continuing to pursue growth in FY13, our strong financial position has enabled us to announce an on-
market share buyback program at a time when current share market  volatility presents a value opportunity for the 
Company and its shareholders.  

OUR PEOPLE AND SUSTAINABILITY 

Critical to the success of any leading business is the ability to attract and retain high calibre people. Empower, Emeco's 
people strategy, launched two years ago, is central to this objective. Empower has focused on developing a positive 
culture  and  delivering  important  initiatives  around  training  and  leadership  development  in  FY12,  which  collectively 
contribute to a sustainable business. 

We  have  this  year  published  our  second  Sustainability  Report  (page  12)  which  highlights  the  significant  progress 
Emeco has made in areas such as diversity, the community and our people. 

While we are focusing on diversity (page 17) at all levels of the organisation, it was pleasing to welcome Emeco’s first 
female  director  onto  the  Board  in  FY12.    In  her  short  time  with  the  Company,  Erica  Smyth  (page  25)  has  been  a 
significant contributor with both her deep experience in the mining industry and as a non-executive director. 

We devoted greater resources towards engaging with our local communities in FY12. This included the establishment 
of  a  global  approach  to  community  participation  (page  18)  and  a  new  national  partnership  with  Lifeline  Australia 
(Lifeline).  Lifeline  (page  20)  provides  crisis  support,  suicide  prevention  and  mental  health  support  services  across 
Australia.  People  living  and  working  in  regional  and  remote  locations  are  considered  a  high  risk  group  for  mental 
health issues and suicide, making this partnership particularly relevant for all Emeco stakeholders, their families and 
friends.

SAFETY REMAINS A KEY PRIORITY 

The  safety  (page  14)  of  our  employees  and  those  we  work  with  is  a  key  priority  of  the  Board  and  we  remain 
committed to continuous improvement in this area and to our ultimate objective of “zero harm”.  Emeco continues to 
progress towards creating a world class safety management culture and we remain vigilant and committed to making 
Emeco an even safer workplace. 

BUSINESS WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE 

Despite a year of strong activity across the global mining industry, current macroeconomic factors are contributing to 
an emerging cautionary tone in parts of the industry.  Furthermore, the industry has continued to be challenged by an 
evolving regulatory environment and a rising cost structure.  While these factors could moderate activity in the short 
term, we expect continued growth in production activity and volumes over the medium term, which bodes  well for 
Emeco. 

Despite  the  current  uncertainty,  the  business  is  well  positioned  strategically  and  financially  to  withstand  future 
volatility and we will remain alert to value creating opportunities that may emerge over time.   In the year ahead we 
will be focused on maintaining strong business performance, retaining a disciplined approach to managing our balance 
sheet and maximising returns for shareholders.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS 

The objective of our business strategy since 2010 has been clear: To deliver acceptable and sustainable returns to our 
shareholders.    During  FY12,  Emeco’s  40th  year  of  operation,  we  continued  to  strive  to  deliver  on  this  fundamental 
objective.   

I am pleased to report that the strategies  we have been  pursuing over recent years are translating  into a stronger 
return on capital.  Over the past 12 months our operating return on capital increased from 11.3% at 30 June 2011 to 
13.2% at 30 June 2012.  The Company also delivered strong earnings growth with Operating NPAT increasing 27.0% 
from $56.0 million in FY11 to $71.1 million in FY12.  

These improvements are the result of a very clear focus on aligning ourselves to the production phase of the mining 
cycle  and  repositioning  and  investing  in  our  fleet  which  is  now  clearly  targeted  at  high  utilisation  mine  production 
activities.  Our  investment  of  $165  million  in  growth  capital  during  FY12  was  deployed  into  contracts  and  began 
generating accretive returns immediately.  We also divested underperforming assets  which were no longer  core to 
our fleet strategy. This has resulted in a high quality fleet aligned to the needs of our target customers.  

Our commitment now is to maintain and further improve these returns into the future. 

SOLID FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE SUCCESS 

Mine production activity continued to increase in all of our markets over FY12 which translated into strong demand 
for our equipment and maintenance services.  Despite a slow start in the first quarter in our Canadian and Indonesian 
businesses,  utilisation  improved  over  the  remainder  of  the  year  to  complement  the  strong  performance  of  our 
Australian business (page 9).   

Globally, we remained focused on our customer and commodity mix during the period, targeting customers which 
align  with  our  strategic  objectives  and  deliver  broad  commodity  exposure  in  each  region.  In  Canada  (page  9),  our 
increased exposure to the oil companies, indigenous contractors and coal miners is providing increased visibility on 
demand.  We secured a number of new customers in Indonesia (page 10) based on our quality maintenance offering 
which  has  also  improved  our  credit  risk  exposure.  In  Australia,  we  continued  to  support  our  blue-chip  mining 
customers with large mining fleets while working with smaller miners to provide whole-of-mine fleets complemented 
by onsite maintenance services.  

The strategy to increase the weighting of large mining equipment in our global fleet continues to add value.  Average 
contract  durations  have  increased  and  we  have  been  able  to  work  with  our  customers  on  other  contractual  terms 
such as minimum monthly hours to provide more visibility of future equipment utilisation.  These larger assets are 
utilised in the core production phase of mining operations which will provide more stable customer demand across 
mining cycles. 

Our  geographic  step-out  into  Chile  (page  11),  announced  in  February  2012,  is  directly  aligned  to  our  strategy  and 
bodes  well  for  the  future  success  of  Emeco.    This  region  represents  a  high  quality  organic  growth  opportunity  for 
Emeco and the opportunity to further diversify into a low cost copper producing region.  Emeco committed an initial 
$50 million investment into this market with a view to increase this further over the next 12 months subject to the 
success of the initial investment. 

Opportunities for further growth through geographic expansion or an acquisition will continue to be considered in the 
year ahead, as always, with a firm focus on our business strategy and the creation of shareholder value.

KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE AND ENGAGED AT WORK 

Safety  remains  a  top  priority  for  the  Board  and  Executive  Leadership  Team.  During  the  year  we  introduced  a 
behavioural  based  safety  approach  and  continued  to  improve  Emeco’s  safety  management  systems  (page  14). 
Pleasingly, we saw a further reduction in the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) to 2.2 per million man hours for 
the twelve months to 30 June 2012 (30 June 2011: 2.4).   

During  the  year,  as  part  of  Empower  (our  strategy  for  Emeco  people),  we  progressed  a  number  of  improvement 
projects centred around leadership development, training, career planning and performance management.  I firmly 
believe  that  investment  in  our  people  is  key  to  Emeco’s  future  success  and  we  continue  to  see  the  benefit  of  our 
investment in people through the results of our employee culture surveys (page 16).   

I  would  like  to  thank  each  and  every  one  of  our  employees  for  maintaining  their  focus  on  safety,  for  their  tireless 
efforts in once again delivering improved results aligned with our business strategy and for their contribution towards 
ensuring a safe and compliant workplace for all Emeco people and those we work with. 

A CHALLENGING BUT EXCITING YEAR AHEAD 

Against a backdrop of ongoing global uncertainty we continue work with our customers to understand their plans and 
to monitor industry lead indicators to anticipate future rental demand.  In light of recent broader economic trends 
including  declining  commodity  prices,  we  expect  our  customers  to  continue  to  focus  on  managing  operating  costs, 
however we also anticipate commodity production volumes will continue to grow in the coming years. This is a vital 
indicator  for  Emeco  as  our  business  is  primarily  leveraged  to  the  volume  of  earth  moved  and  less  directly  to 
commodity price fluctuations.  While we are working in a challenging market, we are energised by the opportunities 
to further improve our performance and build on our very strong customer relationships. 

Our  focus  on  optimising  the  fleet  and  developing  sustainable  relationships  with  quality  customers  is  critical  to 
maintaining  our  market  leading  position  and  the  future  success  of  Emeco.  In  addition,  we  remain  committed  to 
providing safe working environments, developing our people (page 16) and being an active and positive contributor 
to the communities (page 18) in which we operate.   

In the coming year we will continue to focus on maintaining high levels of utilisation and monitoring the market for 
growth opportunities that are consistent with our business strategy and our commitment to delivering shareholder 
value. The Company has progressed significantly since the launch of our strategy in 2010 and I believe it is stronger 
than ever.  I am confident that in FY13 we will continue to improve and to move the business further ahead.

PUSHING RETURNS AND EARNINGS HIGHER 

Pleasingly  our  continued  focus  on  delivering  value  to  shareholders  is  translating  into  solid  results.    Operating  Net 
Profit after Tax (NPAT) increased by 27.0% in FY12 and operating return on capital (ROC) improved to 13.2% for the 
twelve months to 30 June 2012, up from 11.3% in the previous year.  This strong growth in earnings and returns has 
derived from the quality investments in large mining fleet in 1H12 and improvements in our offshore businesses. 

Group operating revenue grew 12.5% to $565.2 million in FY12 as strong customer demand for equipment translated 
into  high  utilisation  of  the  rental  fleet  and  increased  requests  for  Emeco’s  maintenance  expertise  resulting  in 
improved  revenue  from  maintenance  services.    The  fixed  cost  leverage  gained  through  these  revenue  increases 
contributed to higher operating EBIT and EBITDA margins year on year.  Margins were also enhanced through direct 
cost efficiencies and some price increases.

Reconciliation of differences between Operating and Statutory Results: 
• 

Significant items and discontinued operations have been excluded  from the statutory result to aid the comparability and usefulness of the 
financial information.  This adjusted information (Operating Results) enables users to better understand the underlying financial performance 
of the business in the current period. 
FY12 Operating Results (non-IFRS) excludes an expense of $1.2m, impacting EBITDA, EBIT and NPAT in the Australian business segment, which 
relates  to  unpaid  employee  superannuation  from  FY07  to  FY11  arising  from  a  payroll  system  error  identified  during  an  internal  payroll 
systems review which has now been rectified.  Also excluded from the FY12 Operating NPAT is the loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 
million (page 103). 
FY11 Operating Results (non-IFRS) excludes the significant impairment of one debtor in Indonesia which impacted EBIT and EBITDA by $7.9 
million and NPAT $6.0 million.  Also excluded from the FY11 Operating NPAT is the loss from discontinued operations of $0.4million (page 
103).

CASHFLOW GENERATION A KEY ASSET 

Emeco’s capacity to generate strong operating cashflows remains a key feature of its financial flexibility. Operating 
cashflow was up 7.2% to $230.5 million in FY12 through strong EBITDA performance.  Operating cash flow less net 
sustaining capex was $114.1 million.  After paying dividends of $34.7 million to shareholders in FY12, the remaining 
available cashflow was reinvested to further grow our fleet which is expected to deliver further growth in operating 
cashflows in FY13. 

The  combination  of  strong  underlying  operating  cashflows  and  the  highly  discretionary  nature  of  future  capital 
investment, provides Emeco with significant flexibility to expand or contract its balance sheet and gearing relatively 
quickly in light of prevailing market conditions.  This cashflow flexibility is a key asset for the business.

BALANCE SHEET GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH 

We have continued to execute our funding strategy with  the successful  completion of  a US$140  million US Private 
Placement debt issue in May 2012 comprising a 7 and 10 year tranche. This transaction has diversified our funding 
sources  and  extends  our  average  maturity  to  4.1  years,  providing  greater  certainty  around  our  future  access  to 
capital. 

While  net  debt  levels  increased  in  FY12  by  $94.9  million  to  $386.4  million  at  30  June  2012  due  to  the  sizeable 
investment  program,  we  maintain  significant  headroom  of  $169.9  million  under  the  current  available  facilities  of 
$629.4  million.   Gearing is below our target range  at 1.47x Net Debt:EBITDA, which gives the  Company capacity to 
simultaneously undertake investment growth and capital management initiatives as appropriate. 

VALUE CREATION THROUGH EFFECTIVE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The combination of earnings growth, strong operating cash flows, and a sound balance sheet have resulted in Emeco 
declaring  a  total  dividend  of  6.0  cents  per  share,  fully  franked,  in  respect  to  the  2011/12  financial  year.    This 
represents an attractive dividend yield and is in line with our focus on consistent value creation for shareholders.  The 
Board revised its stated dividend policy during the year to “distribute to shareholders between 40% to 60% of annual 
NPAT and to frank dividends to the fullest extent possible”.  The Board considered a number of factors before revising 
the  policy  and  felt  that  it  could  increase  the  payout  ratio  while  continuing  to  pursue  value  creating  growth 
opportunities. 

In  addition  to  the  ordinary  dividend,  the  Company  has  initiated  an  on-market  buyback  program  as  it  believes  this 
represents  a  value  creating  opportunity  for  its  shareholders.    This  capital  management  initiative  will  be  pursued 
together with the $140 million growth capital investment already committed in FY13.  The Company’s strong balance 
sheet position and comfortable gearing levels highlight its capacity to take advantage of value creating opportunities 
as they arise. 

Looking ahead we will remain disciplined on investing and managing the balance sheet, and continue to seek revenue 
enhancing  and  cost  reduction  initiatives.    This  will  further  optimise  our  financial  position  and  enable  us  to  extract 
maximum value and drive shareholder returns into the future.

Main markets 

Operating  out  of  Western  Australia,  Queensland  and  New  South  Wales,  the  Australian  rental  business  is  well 
diversified  across  bulk  commodities  and  metals.  The  business  services  high  quality  customers,  primarily  blue-chip 
miners and large contractors, leveraged to the production phase of the mining cycle.   

FY12 Achievements 

The Australian business successfully executed its growth strategy with the investment of $93 million in large mining 
equipment in FY12.  Improved fleet utilisation and investment in new fleet delivered a 17.6% increase in EBIT on FY11.  
ROFE was temporarily impacted in the first half given the significant new fleet acquired, however, these assets  
were successfully deployed into new contracts with quality customers for mine production activity.   

FY13 Focus 

In FY13 we will focus on targeting customers requiring fleets of equipment on long term, fully maintained contracts.  
In addition, we will continue to further optimise the rental fleet mix to help maintain high utilisation levels.

Main Markets 

The Canadian business is strategically located in the Alberta region to service oil sands and coal projects in Western 
Canada.  

FY12 Achievements 

Emeco  Canada  further  reconfigured  its  fleet  in  FY12  towards  larger  mining  equipment  as  a  result  of  demand  from 
large oil sands customers. The Canadian team signed a master services agreement with a major oil sands miner, the 
first  of  its  kind  in  the  region.    As  a  result,  the  business  has  greater  visibility  of  customer  requirements  and  fleet 
utilisation is expected to be higher over the long term. 

FY13 Focus 

In FY13 we will maintain our focus on further growing the direct supply of equipment rental and maintenance services 
to  oil  sands  companies  to  improve  utilisation  performance.    We  will  also  continue  to  develop  strong  business 
relationships  with  indigenous  contractors  in  the  region  and  diversify  commodity  exposure  by  targeting  customers 
producing alternative commodities.

Main Markets 

The  Indonesian  business  is  positioned  in  an  optimal  location  to  service  miners  and  contractors  in  the  Kalimantan 
region and in particular, Indonesia’s low-cost thermal coal and gold mines. 

FY12 Achievements 

Indonesia’s  customer  mix  improved  with  a  number  of  new  contracts  signed  in  late  FY12.    This  has  delivered  better 
fleet utilisation, improved contract terms and reduced credit risk profile.  A large fleet of equipment came to end of 
contract in late FY11, however, this fleet was successfully redeployed during the first half of the year.   

FY13 Focus 

In early FY13 we will finalise the deployment of the $40 million growth capex plan and maximise utilisation through 
additional contracts with new customers.  We will also continue to build on Emeco’s maintenance expertise with a 
focus on securing additional fully maintained rental contracts.

CHILE 

Main Markets 

Leveraged to the growing copper mining region of Antofagasta, Emeco will service large international and domestic 
blue-chip miners and contractors in Chile. 

FY12 Achievements 

Following the decision to enter Chile in February 2012, a fleet of 10 new Caterpillar 240 tonne trucks were sourced, 5 
of which will be delivered in Q1 of FY13 with the balance due to be delivered in Q3.  Other critical activities carried out 
during the period included the recruitment of key personnel and agreeing maintenance contracts. 

FY13 Focus 

In FY13 our primary objective is to successfully execute contracts for the initial truck fleet and to further develop new 
customer relationships.  The team will be focused on building brand awareness and relationships in the region 
throughout FY13.

DELIVERING ON OUR VISION 

Our global vision is “to contribute to a sustainable and productive mining industry and to provide a great workplace 
for our people and teams”.  

In FY11 we produced our inaugural Sustainability Report. We established internal processes to support annual public 
reporting on our sustainability performance and to ensure we deliver on the commitments made to our stakeholders 
from  a  sustainability  perspective.  Our  stakeholders  include  employees,  customers,  shareholders,  suppliers  and 
community members.  

In FY12, we worked to build on the foundations established in FY11 and to improve the ways in which we captured 
and reported sustainability data to ensure we more efficiently deliver on our people, community and environmental 
targets in future years.  

MANAGING SUSTAINABILITY 

To  ensure  sustainable  business  practices  at  Emeco,  our  vision,  values,  business  and  people  (page  14)  strategies  are 
integrated  as  part  of  our  business  planning  and  employee  performance  management  processes.  We  proactively 
manage our financial and non-financial business risks and collaborate with our stakeholders to ensure we operate in a 
sustainable manner at all times. We report our sustainability performance to Emeco’s Executive Leadership Team and 
Board of Directors regularly throughout each year.  

This approach ensures that sustainability is integrated as part of our everyday operations and that we deliver on our 
vision and long term business goals.

PEOPLE 

Safety 
Emeco  is  committed  to  maintaining  a  safe  and  healthy  working  environment  for  its  employees,  contractors  and 
customers.  

We have an Occupational Health & Safety Policy which is publically disclosed on our website (www.emecogroup.com). 
This  Policy  is  supported  by  the  Emeco  Safety  Health  Environmental  Management  System  (ESHEMS)  and  monthly 
reporting to the Executive Leadership Team and the Board. 

Independent Safety Audit 
Between July and September 2011 an independent safety audit of Emeco’s Australian operations was conducted. This 
audit  highlighted  a  number  of  opportunities  to  improve  the  way  we  approach  and  manage  safety  at  Emeco  in 
Australia. Subsequently, a Safety Improvement Plan was implemented for the region in February 2012.  

The current high priority focus areas of the Safety Improvement Plan for the Australian business include: 

•  Hazard identification and risk management 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  Review and modify ESHEMS  

Induction and initial training 
Contractor management 
Incident investigation and reporting 
Safety leadership (all levels of Emeco management) 
Improve safety reporting and communication 

In FY13 we will draw on the safety improvements made in the Australian business to identify opportunities to improve 
safety management across the Indonesian, Canadian and Chilean businesses.

Safety Improvement Initiatives 
As at 30 June 2012, the following Safety Improvement Plan initiatives have been trialled and implemented. Work will 
continue throughout FY13 to embed these changes across the Australian business: 

• 

• 

The  behaviour-based  Positive  Attitude  Safety  System  (PASS)  has  been  implemented  across  our  Australian 
operations. PASS aims to improve safety communication at all levels and to establish a clear focus on safety for 
each  work  shift.  Operational  branches,  workshops  and  sites  now  conduct  PASS  meetings  prior  to  the 
commencement  of  each  shift  and  non-operational/administrative  and  corporate  teams  conduct  weekly  PASS 
meetings. 
For each tier of leadership a number of safety-related performance measures have been implemented. Both lead 
and lag indicators are used to assess performance and to drive future improvements. Key performance indicators 
with monthly targets will be introduced across our Australian operations in FY13. 

•  A contractor management system is currently being trialled by our Queensland operations. This system will be 
implemented across the Australian business by the end of 2012, ensuring that contractors to Emeco comply with 
necessary legislative, safety, environmental, insurance and human resource requirements.  

•  Monitoring,  audit  and  review  systems  and  procedures  are  currently  being  developed  and  are  planned  to  be 

• 

introduced in early 2013, in line with our ESHEMS standards. 
Safety training has been incorporated into Emeco’s broader training framework to ensure that safety forms part 
of individual employee performance and training plans.  

Improved Safety Performance 
The improvement in our safety performance is reflected across a range of safety indicators.  

In FY12 our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was 2.2 showing a 9% improvement in comparison to our FY11 
LTIFR of 2.4. Since 2008, Emeco’s LTIFR has improved by 80.7%. 

Our group-wide Medical Treatment Injury Frequency Rate (MTIFR) and Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) 
also decreased by 4.5% and 3.5% respectively during the FY12 period. 

While  we  acknowledge  further  improvement  in  our  safety  performance  is  required  across  the  business,  we  are 
progressing in the right direction and are  seeing real  signs of behavioural change as we work towards  our ultimate 
goal of zero harm.

Empowered People  
In 2011, Emeco developed and launched its people strategy “Empower” across the Company’s Australian, Indonesian 
and Canadian operations. Empower is aligned to our global business strategy and our vision, mission and values.  

In FY12, we focused on implementing an initial set of Empower improvement projects. These were identified as crucial 
to  creating  a  great  place  to  work  and  to  supporting  Emeco  people  in  achieving  and  succeeding  throughout  their 
careers.  

The initial Empower improvement projects focused on: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

developing position descriptions for all global job families 
reviewing and establishing a coordinated approach to training and development 
developing and delivering a leadership development program for front-line managers and supervisors 
reviewing and establishing a coordinated approach to performance management 
launching a new global intranet to improve collaboration and information sharing across the business 
developing  and  implementing  a  consistent  induction  presentation  and  “Welcome  to  Emeco”  video  for  new 
employees. 

Happier People 
We are committed to proactive and positive engagement with Emeco people, particularly in relation to receiving and 
acting on feedback.  

In August 2011 (FY12) we conducted our second employee culture survey. A sixty per cent increase in responses was 
achieved in comparison to the 2010 response rate.  

Results  from  the  second  employee  culture  survey  showed  that  employee  satisfaction  had  improved  by  32%  on  the 
previous year. The survey clarified that values being experienced by employees at Emeco workplaces at the time the 
survey  was  conducted  were  closely  aligned  with  our  global  values  of  Collaboration,  Accountability,  Integrity  and 
Continuous Improvement.  

The FY12 employee culture survey demonstrated that Emeco employees felt that the business is moving in the right 
direction from a cultural perspective. We look forward to receiving the results of the FY13 survey to once again review 
our progress, identify further areas for improvement and respond to employee feedback.   

Performance Management and Career Planning 
As  part  of  Empower,  we  implemented  a  new  Performance  Management  System  (PMS).  The  PMS  promotes  regular 
and ongoing communication between individual employees and their managers.  

Within the PMS, Personal Performance Plans (including objectives, behavioural assessments and training plans) were 
developed for 95% of employees in the Australian and Canadian businesses at the beginning of FY12. In August 2012 
employees  and  managers  across  the  Australian  and  Canadian  businesses  met  to  formally  discuss  performance  and 
achievements from FY12 and to plan goals and objectives for FY13.  

In FY13, the PMS will be introduced within the Indonesian and Chilean businesses beginning at the supervisor level 
and above. 

Training and development 
The desire for additional and a more structured approach to training was raised by employees in the 2010 employee 
culture survey.  

In FY12, as part of the PMS, competency matrices were developed for each job family and have been used to identify 
knowledge and skill gaps for individual employees. This information now feeds directly into each employee’s annual 
training plan. 

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2012 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During FY12, we established a dedicated training and development function and appointed training co-ordinators to 
arrange  and  track  all  employee  training  across  the  Australian  business.  In  FY13,  our  training  coordinators  will  be 
facilitating the development of a formal training management system. This new training system will aim to: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

record and maintain employee training statistics 
assist the execution of training and development plans 
ensure that safety training is tracked and delivered, and  
generate training reports to enable greater analysis and to support decision-making processes.  

Indonesian Training Centre and Traineeship 
Attracting and recruiting skilled tradespeople in Indonesia remains a challenge for the business.  

In 2011, Emeco opened a new Training Centre alongside its Kariangau workshop with the aim of increasing 
the Company’s ability to attract new employees as trainees and to provide existing employees with career 
and skill development opportunities in the region.  

A dedicated training team has been established to work with the trainees through the structured program. 
The traineeship is a four year program comprising of technical and practical modules related to 
mechanical and maintenance trades. 

Ten trainees successfully applied and will take part in Emeco’s first intake for the new four year training 
program.  

Diversity 
Our operations are geographically and culturally diverse and we are focused on developing a workforce which reflects 
the diversity of the broader communities in which we operate. In Emeco workplaces, we are committed to equality 
and treating each other with respect. 

As at 30 June 2012, our global workforce comprised of 763 employees.

At 30 June 2012, 13.5% of employees were women. Women at Emeco are primarily employed in administrative and 
business  support  roles.  Currently,  there  are  no  women  on  Emeco’s  Executive  Leadership  Team.  Emeco’s  Board  of 
Directors has one woman director of the seven directors in total.

Measurable Diversity Objectives 
During FY11 we established a group wide Diversity Policy which is available on our website.  

In  FY12,  in  accordance  with  our  Diversity  Policy,  we  developed  a  diversity  strategy  containing  the  following 
measurable objectives: 

• 

• 
• 

subject to identifying a candidate with appropriate industry, commercial and board experience, appoint a female 
to the Board of Directors in FY12  
establish an effective gender diversity measurement and reporting framework, and 
develop a Diversity Action Plan. 

Diversity Target Progress 
In  December  2011,  our  first  measurable  objective  was  achieved  through  the  appointment  of  Ms  Erica  Smyth  as  an 
Independent Non-Executive director to our Board.  

In  FY12  we  also  commenced  public  diversity  reporting  by  submitting  our  first  Equal  Opportunity  for  Women  in  the 
Workplace  Agency  (EOWA)  Report.  We  are  currently  making  changes  to  our  data  collection  process  and  reporting 
systems to enable us to analyse and report more accurately in relation to gender from July 2012. 

During  FY12,  a  Diversity  Action  Plan  was  endorsed  by  Emeco’s  Board  of  Directors.  Our  Diversity  Action  Plan  will  be 
implemented in FY13 and comprises the following initiatives: 

• 

• 
• 

review recruitment and selection processes to identify strategies to attract female candidates and to avoid any 
potentially discriminatory practices 
adopt flexible working arrangements and formalise a related policy and guidelines, and 
raise awareness of diversity issues through a number of initiatives including the delivery of diversity coaching for 
the senior leadership team.  

COMMUNITY 

Proactive Approach to Community Engagement 
In 2011, we recognised the need to become more proactive and targeted in our approach to community engagement. 
In response to this need, we developed a global Community Engagement Strategy which was endorsed by our Board 
of Directors in early 2012. 

Our  global  Community  Engagement  Strategy  is  linked  to  our  vision  (page  12).  It  delivers  a  group-wide  approach  to 
community participation and seeks to establish strategic partnerships and local relationships which: 

• 
• 
• 

improve standards of health, wellbeing and/or education 
support environmental remediation and/or sustainability practices, and / or 
support sustainable Indigenous business operations 

Our Community Engagement Strategy also recognises that Emeco employees, our families and friends, live and work 
in  the  communities  where  we  operate.  Employee  engagement  is  therefore  a  large  part  of  our  new  approach  to 
community participation and influences our selection process for supporting locally-based community causes. 

By  the  end  of  FY12,  Emeco  had  appointed  eight  community  engagement  representatives  at  our  four  major  sites  in 
Australia.  The  representatives  were  selected  through  a  personal  nomination  process.  In  FY13  we  aim  to  internally 
appoint community engagement representatives within our Indonesian, Canadian and Chilean businesses.  

Emeco’s community engagement representatives are responsible for: 

reviewing sponsorship or partnership requests against Emeco’s global community engagement selection criteria 
engaging colleagues and generating support (e.g. fundraising, volunteering) for local community causes, and 

• 
• 
•  managing the annual community engagement budget for their region.

Engaging with Indigenous communities 
As  a  business  operating  in  the  global  mining  industry,  we  work  on  Indigenous  lands  and  in  close  proximity  to 
Indigenous communities in Australia, Indonesia, Canada and now Chile. 

In  late  2011,  we  developed  an  Australian-based  Aboriginal  and  Torres  Strait  Islander  Engagement  Strategy.  This 
strategy  was  endorsed  by  our  Board  of  Directors  in  early  2012  and  outlines  our  commitment  to  developing  and 
providing culturally aware and welcoming workplaces. In FY12 at our Australian operations we have focused on:  

• 
• 
• 

• 

building employee awareness of the cultural heritage of the regions in which we operate 
improving employment pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within Emeco 
establishing  community  partnerships  and  sponsorships  (page  19)  that  support  Aboriginal  and  Torres  Strait 
Islander causes, and 
pursuing  opportunities  to  develop  commercial  partnerships  with  Aboriginal  and  Torres  Strait  Islander-owned 
businesses. 

In  FY13,  we  will  look  for  opportunities  to  engage  with  Indigenous  communities  in  Indonesia,  Canada  and  Chile  in  a 
similar manner. 

Global Approach, Local Benefits 
With the implementation of our global Community Engagement Strategy and supporting processes, we will be able to 
improve the ways in which we measure, report and communicate the benefits of our community investments in the 
future. 

In FY12 we continued to provide both financial and in-kind assistance to local community causes across our operating 
locations and to support the efforts of Emeco employees who are actively involved in their local communities. 

The table below shows the community causes and groups Emeco employees elected to support in FY12.

Exciting New National Partnerships 
Our  global  Community  Engagement  Strategy  also  guides  the  establishment  of  mutually  beneficial,  sustainable 
community partnerships. 

In  FY12,  we  established  our  first  national  partnership  with  Lifeline  Australia  (Lifeline).  More  information  on  this 
partnership is provided in the case study titled ‘Emeco & Lifeline Partner to Save Lives Overnight’. 

In  July  2012  (FY13),  we  entered  into  a  partnership  with  the  Clontarf  Foundation  (Clontarf)  in  Australia  and  look 
forward to developing our relationship with Clontarf over the three year initial term of this partnership. 

Clontarf  exists  to  improve  the  education,  discipline,  self-esteem,  life  skills  and  employment  prospects  of  young 
Aboriginal  men  and  by  doing  so,  equip  them  to  participate  in  the  community  in  a  more  meaningful  way.  The 
partnership aligns with our focus on improving ‘standards of health, wellbeing and/or education’. 

By 2014, we aim to have established at least one national partnership in each country of operation. 

Emeco and Lifeline Partner to Save Lives Overnight 
Lifeline provides crisis support services focusing on suicide prevention and access to mental health support 
services. 

Lifeline has been operating its 13 11 14 crisis line with a predominantly volunteer workforce for the past 49 
years. Over time, it has become increasingly difficult for Lifeline to find volunteers able to work the midnight to 
dawn shift, the time of night when many Australians are at their most vulnerable. 

In 2011, Lifeline invested in a ‘Saving Lives Overnight’ trial which involved paying Lifeline crisis supporters to 
work the midnight to 6am shift. This led to a 62% increase in the call answer rate from September 2010 and a 
139% increase from the August 2011 call answer rate. 

With Emeco’s support, Lifeline is now able to employ more permanent team members to answer calls, to 
extend Lifeline’s overnight shift by two hours and to redeploy volunteers who previously worked these shifts 
to more suitable hours, increasing Lifeline’s national call answer capability. 

Emeco people are also being educated about mental health and suicide prevention and will have the 
opportunity to support their local Lifeline Centres through fundraising and volunteering activities. 

ENVIRONMENT 

Responsible Environmental Management  
Emeco’s  core  service  offering  globally  is  the  provision  of  maintained  rental  equipment  solutions  to  mining  industry 
companies. 

We acknowledge that we are responsible for minimising the impact of our operations on the environment. Our Group 
Environmental  Policy  (available  at  www.emecogroup.com)  guides  and  assists  the  Company  in  communicating  our 
environmental performance expectations to our stakeholders (employees, contractors, customers and suppliers). 

Environmental management and compliance is an important part of our business and the business of our customers. 
Onsite, we continue to work together with our customers to ensure that our equipment maintenance services operate 
in alignment with their onsite policies, management systems and procedures. 

Across  Emeco’s  global  operations  and  where  we  operate  on  a  customer’s  site,  our  approach  to  environmental 
management focuses largely on oil use and disposal, waste disposal and water management. While we currently track 
our usage and recycling efforts in relation to a number of waste products, our processes vary between sites. We plan 
to develop and implement a more consistent approach to collecting waste and water-related data in FY13.

Environmental  incidents  associated  with  our  operations  continue  to  be  tracked  and  reported  through  the  Emeco 
Safety Health Environmental Management System (ESHEMS) and performance is reported to the Executive Leadership 
Team and the Board on a monthly basis. 

We are pleased to report that Emeco did not experience any reportable environmental incidents or significant spills 
during  the  last  financial  year  and  we  did  not  face  any  significant  fines  or  sanctions  for  non-compliance  with 
environmental laws and regulations. 

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions 
Emeco has been tracking the carbon footprint of its global operations since 2008. We calculate our carbon footprint 
using  the  international  best  practice  Greenhouse  Gas  Protocol  and  publicly  report  this  baseline  information  to  the 
Carbon  Disclosure  Project  (CDP).  Our  CDP  submission  is  made  available  each  year  at  www.cdproject.net  reporting 
results for the previous financial year. 

Regular  tracking  and  reporting  confirms  that  the  majority  of  our  emissions  are  generated  by  our  buildings, 
infrastructure, maintenance activities and travel.  

In FY11, our total GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2) were 6447 tCO2e (chart 5 & 6). This represents a 13% decrease on 
FY10 emissions. This is due to the closure of two workshops in Canada and a reduction in the number of leased light 
vehicles  and  service  vehicles  we  use  to  support  our  rental  equipment  fleet.  The  majority  of  these  emissions  were 
generated by fuel usage in light and service vehicles and electricity use at Emeco buildings.  

The combustion of fuel during the use of our rental equipment will always be a source of greenhouse gas emissions. 
However,  under  the  Australian  Government’s  National  Greenhouse  and Energy  Reporting  (NGER)  Act,  responsibility 
for  the  generation  and  reporting  of  these  emissions  lies  with  our  customers  as  they  are  considered  to  be  in 
operational  control  of  the  equipment  once  the  equipment  is  in  use  onsite.  As  such,  in  FY12,  Emeco  continued  to 
operate well under the corporate thresholds set out by the Act. 

As  our  business  grows  we  will  continue  to  review  emissions  data  in  order  to  benchmark  our  performance  and  to 
identify areas where we can reduce our carbon and energy impacts. We will also continue to work with our customers 
on efficiency initiatives that will assist them to reduce emissions associated with operating Emeco equipment.  

An example of a current initiative we are exploring for the benefit of our customers is the use of Global Positioning 
System (GPS) to capture the rate at which our equipment burns fuel when in use. GPS will enable Emeco to track the 
fuel  burn  rate  and  identify  where  any  inefficiencies  may  be  occurring.  We  aim  to  be  providing  customers  of  the 
Australian business with daily fuel usage reports by the end of 2012.

Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

Corporate Governance Statement  

Under  ASX  Listing  Rule  4.10.3,  the  Company  is  required  to  include  in  its  annual  report  a  statement  disclosing  the 
extent  to  which  it  has  followed  the  principles  of  good  corporate  governance  (ASX  Principles)  and  associated 
recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (ASX Recommendations).  

This corporate governance statement reports on the Group’s current corporate governance practices and policies by 
reference to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations  with 
2010 Amendments, including those which came into effect on 1 January 2011.  

Emeco  is  pleased  to  report  that  it  has  followed  each  of  the  ASX  Recommendations  as  set  out  in  the  Corporate 
Governance Statement below.   

Principle 1 

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight  

Roles and responsibilities of the Board and management 

Board Charter 

The Board has adopted a Charter that details its functions and responsibilities.  

The Charter sets out the responsibilities of: 

• 

• 

• 

the Board; 

individual Directors; and 

the Chairman. 

Under the Charter the Board is accountable to the shareholders for the overall performance of the Company and the 
management of its affairs.  Key responsibilities of the Board include:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

developing, providing input into, and final approval of corporate strategy; 

evaluating,  approving  and  monitoring  the  strategic  and  financial  plans  and  performance  objectives  of  the 
Company; 

determining dividend policy and the amount and timing of all dividends; 

evaluating, approving and monitoring major capital expenditure, capital management and all major acquisitions, 
divestitures and other corporate transactions, including the issue of securities;  

reviewing, ratifying and  monitoring systems of risk  management and internal compliance and control, codes of 
conduct and legal compliance; 

evaluating and monitoring annual budgets and business plans; 

ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior executives;

Risk Committee); and 

appointing, monitoring and managing the performance and remuneration of Executive Directors.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

The  Charter  sets  a  minimum  number  of  Board  meetings  and  provides  for  the  establishment  of  the  Audit  and  Risk 
Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Charter also sets  minimum standards of ethical 
conduct of the Directors, which are further elaborated on in the Company’s Code of Conduct, and specifies the terms 
on which Directors are able to obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.  

A copy of the Board Charter and a copy of the Company’s Code of Conduct are available on the Emeco website.  

Delegated Financial Authority 

Under the terms of the Board Charter, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director is responsible to the Board 
for  the  day-to-day  management  of  the  Group.    As  noted  in  the  Board  Charter,  the  Board  has  formally  adopted  a 
structured Delegated Financial Authority (DFA) which outlines the specific financial authority limits delegated to the 
Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Managing  Director.    The  Board  approves  and  monitors  this  delegation  of  financial 
authority. 

The DFA ensures that contract commitments and expenditure is limited to: 

• 

• 

• 

contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business; 

operational expenditure (those costs incurred in the day to day running of the business); and 

capital expenditure (the purchase of assets for the purpose of deriving income). 

The DFA sets  levels of permitted contract and expenditure commitment for employees  across the Group. Authority 
limits have been set as a risk management tool to ensure adequate controls are in place when committing the Group 
to a contract or incurring costs.  

Evaluating the performance of senior executives 

The performance of the Managing Director is regularly monitored by the Non-Executive Directors.  

Formal reviews of the performance of each senior executive within the Emeco Group are conducted by the Managing 
Director  in  July/August  each  year.  These  performance  reviews  provide  the  Managing  Director  and  each  senior 
executive  with  the  opportunity  not  only  to  review  the  executive’s  performance  against  a  range  of  financial  and 
operational benchmarks but also to review and assess the senior executive’s personal and professional development 
objectives. A review of the performance of each senior executive was undertaken during FY12.  

The  Group  has  formal  induction  procedures  in  place  to  introduce  new  senior  executives  to  the  Group  and  gain  an 
understanding of the  Group’s  financial position, strategies, operations and risk  management and other policies and 
responsibilities. 

Principle 2 

Structure the Board to add value 

Skills, experience and expertise of the Directors   

The  Board  is  currently  comprised  of  seven  Directors,  with  six  Non-Executive  Directors,  including  the  Chairman,  and 
one Executive Director.  The Directors consider that collectively they have the relevant skills, experience and expertise 
to fulfil their obligations to the Company, its shareholders and other stakeholders.  

All  Directors  are  expected  to  maintain  the  skills  required  to  discharge  their  duties  to  the  Company.    Directors  are 
provided,  on  an  “as  needed”  basis,  with  papers,  presentations  and  briefings  on  Group  businesses  and  on  matters 
which may affect the operations of the Group.  

The Directors and a brief description of their skills and experience are set out at pages 23 to 26 of this report.

Mr Brennan, Mr Johnston, Mr Cahill, Mr Bishop, Mr Richards and Ms Smyth are Independent Directors.  Directors are 
expected to bring independent views and judgement to the Board’s deliberations.  All of them satisfy the criteria for 
independence  set  out  in  the  ASX  Principles  and  ASX  Recommendations.  In  considering  whether  a  Director  is 
independent,  the  Board  has  had  regard  to  the  relationships  affecting  their  independent  status  and  other  facts, 
information and circumstances that the Board considers to be relevant.   

The  Board  assesses  the  independence  of  new  Directors  upon  appointment  and  reviews  the  independence  of  the 
Directors annually and as appropriate.  The test of  whether a relationship is material is based on the nature of the 
relationship and the circumstances of the Director.  Materiality is considered from the perspective of the Company, 
the Director, and the person or entity with which the Director has a relationship. 

The Company therefore complies with ASX Recommendation 2.1. 

The one Director who is not considered to be independent, due to his involvement in the management and operations 
of the Group, is Mr Gordon, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.  

The Chairman of the Board is Mr Brennan, an Independent Director, and the Company therefore complies with ASX 
Recommendation 2.2.  

Directors’ retirement and re-election  

Under the terms of the Company’s constitution, a Director other than the Managing Director must retire from office 
or  seek  re-election  by  no  later  than  the  third  annual  general  meeting  after  their  appointment  or  three  years, 
whichever is the longer.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

At  least  one  Director  must  retire  from  office  at  each  annual  general  meeting,  unless  determined  otherwise  by  a 
resolution  of  the  Company’s  shareholders.  Mr  Johnston  and  Mr  Bishop  will  seek  re-election  at  the  2012  annual 
general meeting under this provision.  

Under the Company’s constitution the Directors have the power to appoint Directors to fill a vacancy or as an addition 
to the Board.  Any Director, except a Managing Director appointed in this way must retire from office, and is eligible 
for  re-election,  at  the  next  annual  general  meeting  following  his  or  her  appointment.  Having  been  appointed  in 
December 2011, Ms Smyth will seek election at the 2012 annual general meeting. 

The  Board  has  established  criteria  for  the  appointment  of  Non-Executive  Directors  of  the  Company.  These  criteria 
provide that an incoming Director must:

have no actual or potential conflicts of interest at the time of appointment; 

have no prior adverse history. A potential candidate’s bankruptcy, a conviction for an offence of dishonesty or 
any other serious criminal conviction, ASIC or APRA disqualification etc would disqualify a person from further 
consideration as a candidate; 

have a deserved reputation for honesty, integrity and competence; 

have  extensive  experience  at  a  senior  executive  level  in  a  field  relevant  to  the  Group’s  operations  and 
preferably with a listed company; 

have high level strategic, financial and commercial capability; 

be  available  and  willing  to  devote  the  time  required  to  meetings  and  Company  business  and  have  a  real 
commitment to the Group and its success; 

be able to work harmoniously with fellow Directors and Management;  

have skills, experience and knowledge which complement the skills, experience and knowledge of incumbent 
Directors.  

In addition to the above criteria, the Board aims to achieve a  mix of  skills and diversity in its members. Candidates 
recommended  for  appointment  as  new  Non-Executive  Directors  are  considered  by  the  Board  as  a  whole.    If  it  is 
necessary  to  appoint  a  new  Director  to  fill  a  vacancy  on  the  Board  or  to  complement  the  existing  Board,  a  wide 
potential base of possible candidates is considered.   

Procedures for seeking information and taking independent and professional advice  

Under the Board Charter, a Director is entitled to seek professional advice at the Company’s expense on any matter 
connected with the discharge of their duties in accordance with the procedure set out in the Charter, a copy of which 
is available on the Emeco website.  

In addition, all Directors have unrestricted access to employees of the Group and, subject to law, access to all records 
of the Company and information held by Group employees and external advisors.  The Board receives regular detailed 
financial and operational reports from senior management to enable it to carry out its duties.  

The  General  Counsel  is  Michael  Kirkpatrick.  Each  of  the  Directors  has  access  to  the  General  Counsel  as  and  when 
required.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The Company has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee, the responsibilities of which include: 

• 

• 

• 

critically reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the Board and its individual members;  

periodically assessing the skills required to discharge the Board’s duties, having regard to the strategic direction of 
the Company; and 

reviewing  the  membership  and  performance  of  other  Board  Committees  and  making  recommendations  to  the 
Board. 

Members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are Mr Brennan (Chair), Mr Cahill, and Mr Johnston. The 
Charter of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is available on the Emeco website.  

Process for evaluating the Board, its Committees and Directors 

A review of the performance of the  Board was completed in May 2012 by the Chairman with the assistance of the 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee.  The  review  was  undertaken  in  accordance  with  the  Charter  of  the 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  using  a  comprehensive  questionnaire,  the  scope  of  which  covered  the 
performance of the Board, its Committees, the Chairman and individual Directors.   

Directors’  questionnaire  responses  were  collated  and  analysed  by  the  Chairman  and,  where  appropriate,  discussed 
with the Board.  An analysis of the questionnaire results was presented to the Board by the Chairman.   

Principle 3 

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making  

The  Company  considers  that  confidence  in  its  integrity  can  only  be  achieved  if  its  employees  and  officers  conduct 
themselves  ethically  in  all  of  their  commercial  dealings  on  the  Company’s  behalf.    The  Company  has  therefore 
recognised that it should actively promote ethical conduct amongst its employees, officers and contractors.  

The  Company  has  adopted  a  Code  of  Conduct,  a  Share  Trading  Policy  and  a  Diversity  Policy.  The  Code  of  Conduct, 
Share Trading Policy and Diversity Policy apply to all Directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the 
Company and its subsidiaries.  

The Code of Conduct 

The  Code  of  Conduct  was  updated  in  FY11  to  reflect  the  2010  amendments  to  the  ASX  Principles  and  ASX 
Recommendations. 

The objectives of the Code of Conduct are to ensure that: 

• 

• 

• 

high  standards  of  corporate  and  individual  behaviour  are  observed  by  all  employees  in  the  context  of  their 
employment with the Company or a subsidiary; 

employees are aware of their responsibilities under their contract of employment and always act in an ethical and 
professional manner; and 

all persons dealing with Emeco, whether it be employees, shareholders, suppliers, clients or competitors, can be 
guided by the stated values and practices of Emeco.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

Under the Code of Conduct, employees of the Emeco Group must, amongst other things: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

act  honestly  and  in  good  faith  at  all  times  and  in  a  manner  which  is  in  the  best  interests  of  the  Company  as  a 
whole; 

conduct  their  personal  activities  in  a  manner  that  is  lawful  and  avoids  conflicts  of  interest  between  the 
employee’s personal interests and those of the Company; 

always act in a manner that is in compliance with the laws and regulations of the country in which they work;  

report any actual or potential breaches of the law, the Code of Conduct or the Company’s other policies to the 
Company Secretary; and 

not permit or condone the making of payments, gifts, favours, bribes, facilitation payments or kick-backs in the 
expectation of preferred treatment for themselves or the Company. 

The Company actively promotes and encourages ethical behaviour and protection for those who report violations of 
the  Code  or  other  unlawful  or  unethical  conduct  in  good  faith.  The  Company  ensures  that  employees  are  not 
disadvantaged in any way for reporting violations of the Code or other unlawful or unethical conduct and that matters 
are dealt with promptly and fairly. 

Directors are required to avoid conflicts of interest and immediately inform their fellow Directors should a conflict of 
interest arise.  Directors are also required to advise the Company of any relevant interests that may result in a conflict. 

The Board has adopted the use of formal standing notices in which Directors disclose any material personal interests 
and the relationship of these interests to the affairs of the Company.  A Director is required to notify the Company of 
any new material personal interests or if there is any change in the nature or extent of a previously disclosed interest. 

Where a matter in which a Director has a material personal interest is being considered by the Board, that Director 
must not be present when the matter is being considered or vote on the matter, unless all of the other Directors have 
passed a resolution to enable that Director to do so or the matter comes within a category of exception under the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

The  Company  will  only  use  an  employee’s  personal  information  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  has  been  disclosed 
(unless it is necessary to protect health and safety, or as required by law). 

The  Company’s  approach  to  community  investments  (for  example  sponsorships  and  donations)  is  approved  and 
managed at a corporate level with input from the business. It seeks to conduct its operations in a sustainable manner, 
and with due consideration of its social, environmental and economic impacts.  Further, the Company is committed to 
establishing  and  maintaining  mutually  beneficial  and  sustainable  relationships  with  the  indigenous  communities  in 
regions where the Company operates. 

The Share Trading Policy 

The principal objective of the Share Trading Policy is to raise awareness and minimise any potential for breach, of the 
prohibitions on insider trading contained in the  Corporations Act 2001.  The policy is also intended to minimise the 
possibility that misunderstandings or suspicions arise from employees and officers trading in the Company’s shares, by 
limiting trading to fixed periods commencing after the release of half and full year results and after the annual general 
meeting. 

The Company has appropriate compliance standards and procedures in place to ensure the policy is properly adhered 
to. Employees are advised of the opening and closing dates of each trading period after the release of half and full 
year results, and after the annual general meeting.  Employees are reminded of the relevant dates for these trading 
periods, and a copy of the Share Trading Policy accompanies these reminder notifications.   

Copies of the Code of Conduct and the Share Trading Policy are available on the Emeco website.

Diversity Policy 

The Company established a Diversity Policy in March 2011 to support a corporate culture of workplace diversity, and 
to work towards establishing a framework for diversity awareness and reporting. A copy of the Diversity Policy is on 
the Emeco website. 

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  is  responsible  for  assessing  and  reporting  to  the  Board  on  the 
Company’s progress towards achieving its measurable diversity objectives on an annual basis.  

Further  details  regarding  the  Company’s  progress  in  implementing  its  diversity  objectives  are  included  in  the 
Sustainability Report at pages 12 to 21.  

Principle 4 

Safeguard integrity of financial reporting  

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee to support and advise the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities 
to shareholders, employees and other stakeholders of the Company by: 

• 

• 

assisting  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its  oversight  responsibilities  for  the  financial  reporting  process,  the  system  of 
internal control relating to all matters affecting the Company’s financial performance, the audit process, and the 
Company’s process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and the Code of Conduct; and 

implementing and supervising the Company's risk management framework. 

Members of the Audit and Risk Committee are Mr Cahill (Chairman), Mr Bishop, Mr Brennan and Mr Richards.  The 
qualifications of the Audit and Risk Committee members are set out at pages 23 to 26 of this report. The Managing 
Director,  Chief  Financial  Officer,  Company  Secretary  and  any  other  persons  considered  appropriate  may  attend  the 
meetings  of  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  by  invitation.    The  Committee  also  meets  from  time  to  time  with  the 
external auditor in the absence of Management. 

The Audit and Risk Committee Charter sets out the role and responsibilities of the Committee and is available on the 
Emeco website.  

Details regarding membership of the Committee are set out above.  During FY12, the Committee comprised of four 
Independent Non-Executive Directors, all of whom have financial expertise.   

All current members of the Committee were present for each of these meetings. 

Independence of the external auditor 

The Company’s external auditor is KPMG.  The effectiveness, performance and independence of the external auditor is 
reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. If it becomes necessary to replace the external auditor for performance or 
independence  reasons,  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  will  formalise  a  procedure  and  policy  for  the  selection  and 
appointment of a new auditor. 

Independence declaration 

The Corporations Act 2001 requires the external auditor to make an annual independence declaration, addressed to 
the Board, declaring that the auditor has maintained its independence in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 
and the rules of the professional accounting bodies. KPMG has provided an independence declaration to the Board for 
FY12.   This independence declaration forms part of  the Directors’ report and is provided on page 58 of this annual 
report.

Non-Audit Services 

During  the  year,  KPMG,  the  Company’s  auditor,  has  performed  certain  other  services  in  addition  to  their  statutory 
duties. 

The  Board  has  considered  the  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  by  the  auditor  and  is  satisfied  that  the 
provision of these non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

• 

• 

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company; 

the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set 
out  in  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants,  as  they  did  not  involve  reviewing  or  auditing  the 
auditors own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate 
for the Company or jointly sharing the risks and rewards. 

A  copy  of  the  auditor’s  independence  declaration  as  required  under  section  307C  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  is 
included in the Directors’ Report (on page 58 of this annual report). 

Details of fees paid to the Company’s auditors for non-audit services are found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Financial 
Statements in the Financial Report.  

Rotation of lead external audit partner 

Mr Rob Gambitta is the lead audit partner for KPMG in relation to the audit of the Company.  Mr Gambitta was first 
appointed as the Partner responsible for Emeco Holdings Limited for the 30 June 2009 year end audit.   

Attendance of external auditors at the annual general meeting 

The lead audit partner of KPMG attends and is available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the 
audit and the preparation and content of the Independent Auditor’s Report at the Company’s annual general meeting.   

Principle 5 

Make timely and balanced disclosure  

The Company is committed to complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX  Listing  Rules and 
disclosing to investors and other stakeholders all material information about the Company in a timely and responsive 
manner.  

The Company has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy which is available on the Emeco website.  

The  Continuous  Disclosure  Policy  specifies  the  processes  by  which  the  Company  ensures  compliance  with  its 
continuous  disclosure  obligations.  The  policy  sets  out  the  internal  notification  and  decision  making  procedures  in 
relation to these obligations, and the roles and responsibilities of the Company’s officers and employees in the context 
of  these  obligations.  It  emphasises  a  proactive  approach  to  continuous  disclosure  and  requires  the  Company  to 
comply with the spirit as well as the letter of the ASX continuous disclosure requirements. The Company Secretary is 
responsible  for  overseeing  and  coordinating  the  disclosure  of  information  by  the  Company  to  the  ASX  and  for 
administering the policy.   

The policy specifies the Company representatives who are authorised to speak publicly on behalf of the Company and 
procedures  for dealing with  analysts. It also sets  out how the Company deals with market rumour and speculation.  
Compliance with the policy is reviewed and monitored by the Audit and Risk Committee, and also by the Board.

Principle 6 

Respect the rights of shareholders  

The Company acknowledges  the importance of effective communication with its shareholders and encourages their 
effective  participation  at  general  meetings,  which  are  a  major  forum  for  shareholders  to  ask  questions  about  the 
performance of the Group. In June 2011, the Company adopted a formal communications policy which describes the 
processes  and  systems  implemented  by  the  Company  to  facilitate  communication  between  the  Company,  its 
shareholders and investors. This is on the Company’s website.   

All public announcements are also posted on the Company’s website after they have been released to the ASX.  The 
Company also places the full text of notices of meetings and explanatory material on its website, as well as copies of 
its annual report and the Chairman’s address at the annual general meeting. 

The Company offers a number of options to shareholders in relation to electronic communications. Shareholders can 
elect to receive notification by email when payment advices, annual reports, notices of meetings and proxy forms are 
available online. They can also elect to receive email notification of important announcements.  

Shareholders  are  given  an  opportunity  to  ask  questions  of  the  Directors  at  the  Company’s  general  meetings.  The 
Company provides its auditor with notice of general meetings of the Company, as is required by section 249K of the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Company also requests its auditor to attend its annual general meetings and be available 
to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Independent 
Auditor’s Report.  

Principle 7 

Recognise and manage risk  

The Board believes that risk management is fundamental to sound management and that oversight of such matters is 
an important responsibility of the Board. The Board, with assistance from the Audit and Risk Committee, is responsible 
for ensuring there are adequate processes and policies in place to identify, assess and mitigate risk.  

Emeco  has  adopted  a  Risk  Management  Policy.  It  has  also  implemented  a  formal  Enterprise  Risk  Management 
programme, and has adopted measures to ensure that risk management concepts and awareness are embedded into 
the culture of the organisation. This programme includes the involvement of senior executives and senior operational 
management. The key elements of Emeco’s Risk Management programme are: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

classification of risk into strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks; 

the quantification and ranking of risk consequences and likelihood; 

the identification of strategic risk issues; 

the identification of operational risk issues through formalised regional-based risk workshops; 

the development of a Company database for communicating and updating activity and progress on risk matters 
and maintaining risk registers; 

the  identification,  enhancement  and  development  of  key  internal  controls  to  address  risk  issues  including  risk 
treatment plans and assigning accountabilities for identified risks to senior Emeco employees; and 

a comprehensive insurance programme. 

The  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  is  responsible  for  reviewing  the  effectiveness  of  the  overall  risk  management 
framework. It is also required to review the Risk Management Policy on an annual basis.

Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

Internal assurance and the establishment of an internal audit function  

In  May  2010,  the  Board  approved  the  appointment  of  Ernst  &  Young  as  a  supplier  of  internal  audit  services  for  a 
period  of  three  years.  The  Company  considered  there  was  a  clear  link  between  the  internal  audit  function  and 
delivering business improvement outcomes (noting that the focus of assurance also remains central to this function).  

Management will formally review the performance of the internal auditors on an annual basis and report findings to 
the Audit and Risk Committee.  

The  overall  internal  assurance  process  is  overseen  by  the  Group’s  Risk  and  Corporate  Assurance  Manager  who 
manages  the  process,  and  provides  assurance  to  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  and  the  Board,  through  the  Chief 
Financial  Officer,  regarding  the  effectiveness  of  the  Emeco  Group’s  risk  management,  governance  and  control 
frameworks.  

For FY12, the  Board has received an assurance from the  Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer that the 
declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 is founded on a sound system of 
risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to 
financial reporting risks. Management has also reported to the Board that the Group’s risk management and internal 
compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects. 

The Risk Management Policy is available on the Emeco website. 

Principle 8 

Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The  Emeco  Group  remuneration  policy  is  substantially  reflected  in  the  objectives  of  the  Remuneration  and 
Nomination Committee. The Committee’s remuneration objectives are to endeavour to ensure that: 

• 

• 

• 

the Directors and senior management of the Group are remunerated fairly and appropriately; 

the remuneration policies and outcomes strike an appropriate balance between the interests of the Company's 
shareholders, and rewarding  and motivating the  Group's  executives and employees in  order to secure the long 
term benefits of their energy and loyalty; and 

the human resources policies and practices are consistent with and complementary to the strategic direction and 
human resources objectives of the Company as determined by the Board.  

Under its Charter, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is required to review and make recommendations to 
the Board about:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the general remuneration strategy for the Group so that it motivates the Group's executives and employees to 
pursue  the  long  term  growth  and  success  of  the  Group  and  establishes  a  fair  and  transparent  relationship 
between individual performance and remuneration; 

the terms of remuneration for the Executive Directors and other senior management of the Group from time to 
time including the criteria for assessing performance;  

diversity policy compliance and reporting; 

the  outcomes  of  remuneration  reviews  for  executives  collectively,  and  the  individual  reviews  for  the  Executive 
Directors, and other senior management of the Group; 

remuneration reviews for Executive and Non-Executive Directors; 

changes in remuneration policy and practices, including superannuation and other benefits; 

employee equity plans and allocations under those plans; and 

the  disclosure  of  remuneration  requirements  in  the  Company's  public  materials  including  ASX  filings  and  the 
annual report.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

Details regarding membership of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are set out under Principle 2.  During 
FY12, the Committee met three times. Each Committee member attended all three meetings, except for Mr Johnston 
who attended two meetings. 

Emeco clearly distinguishes the structure of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration from that of Executive Directors 
and  senior  executives.  Non-Executive  Directors  are  remunerated  by  way  of  fees  in  the  form  of  cash  benefits  and 
superannuation contributions. They do not receive options or bonus payments; nor are they provided with retirement 
benefits other than superannuation. 

A remuneration report detailing the information required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to 
FY12 is included in the Directors’ Report on pages 39 to 56. 

Nature of operations and principal activities 

The  principal  activities  during  the  financial  year  of  the  entities  within  the  Group  were  the  renting,  maintaining  and 
selling of heavy earthmoving equipment to customers in the mining industries. 

As  set  out  in  this  report,  the  nature  of  the  Group’s  operations  and  principal  activities,  have  been  consistent 
throughout the financial year. 

Operating and financial review 

A  review  of  Group  operations,  and  the  results  of  those  operations  for  FY12,  is  set  out  on  pages  9  to  11  and  in  the 
accompanying financial statements. 

Dividends paid or to be paid 

In relation to FY11 the Directors declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.0 cents per share which was paid on 30 
September 2011. 

During FY12 the Directors declared a fully franked interim dividend of 2.5 cents per share which was paid on 29 March 
2012. 

Since the end of FY12, the Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.5 cents per share to be paid on 28 
September 2012. 

Significant changes in state of affairs 

During  the  financial  year  under  review  there  were  no  significant  changes  in  the  Group’s  state  of  affairs  other  than 
those disclosed in the operating and financial review section or in the financial statements and the notes thereto. 

Significant events after balance date 

On  20  August  2012,  the  Board  approved  an  on-market  buyback  up  to  a  maximum  of  5%  (31,561,879)  of  the 
Company’s shares over the next 12 months.  

There were no other significant events after the balance date other than the declaration of dividend noted above.

This report omits information on likely developments in the Emeco Group in future financial years and the expected

Summary of changes to the remuneration structure 

A  comprehensive  remuneration  structure  review  was  initiated  by  the  Board  following  the  2011  Annual  General 
Meeting (AGM) at which a significant vote against the 2011 Remuneration Report was recorded.   

The review included extensive stakeholder and shareholder consultation which was completed in March 2012.  As a 
result  of  this  feedback  a  number  of  enhancements  have  been  made  to  Emeco’s  remuneration  practices  which  will 
affect  the  FY13  Long  Term  Incentive  (LTI)  grants  and  subsequent  grants  to  Emeco  executives.    These  changes  are 
noted in various sections of this report and are summarised in the following table: 

Table 14: Summary of changes to executive remuneration structure 

Issue 

Response 

Dividends paid on unvested LTI securities 

Commencing with the FY13 LTI grants: 

• 

• 

dividends (or shadow dividends) will not be paid on unvested LTI 
securities; and 
dividends (or shadow dividends) will accrue on unvested LTI 
securities and will only be paid at the time of vesting on those LTI 
securities that vest, provided all vesting conditions are met. 

Automatic vesting of all LTI securities as a 
result of absolute change of control 

Commencing with the FY13 LTI grants: 

• 

• 

• 

the proportion of vesting LTI securities will be pro-rated to reflect 
the performance achieved; 
the proportion of vesting LTI  securities  will be in accordance with 
the relevant TSR vesting schedule for each grant; and 
the Board retains the discretion to vest a greater amount.

For the year ended 30 June 2012 

In addition to the changes outlined above, a minor  change was  made to the terms of  the FY10 and FY11 LTI grants 
made to Mr Ian Testrow and to all other Canadian resident LTI plan participants. The terms of these LTI grants have 
been amended to provide for the conversion of vested LTI Performance Rights into shares automatically  at vesting. 
This is in line with the terms of the FY12 LTI grants made to Canadian resident LTI plan participants. Previously, the 
terms of the FY10 and FY11 grants provided that vested Performance Rights could be converted to shares at any time 
within two years of vesting at the grantee’s election. The reason for the change relates to the operation of Canadian 
income tax laws. This change, which came into effect on 25 June 2012, does not result in any change in the fair value 
of  the  respective  LTI  grants.  As  at  the  date  of  alteration  on  25  June  2012  the  fair  value  of  an  Emeco  share  was  as 
follows: FY09 tranche - 49 cents; FY10 tranche - 56 cents and FY11 tranche - 76 cents.

Remuneration governance 

2.1 

The role of the Board and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The Emeco Holdings Limited Board is committed to implementing executive remuneration structures which achieve a 
balance between: 

• 

• 

rewarding executives for the achievement of the Company’s short and long term financial, strategic and safety 
goals, and 
aligning the interests and expectations of executives, shareholders and other stakeholders. 

The Board engages with shareholders, management and other stakeholders as required to continuously refine and 
improve  executive  and  director  remuneration  policies  and  practices.  The  refinements  to  the  Company’s  executive 
remuneration  structure  outlined  in  section  1  above  are  the  result  of  stakeholder  feedback  and  the  Board’s 
engagement with stakeholders following the 2011 AGM. 

The Group’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing and suggesting recommendations to 
the Board in relation to: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 
• 

the general remuneration strategy of the Company;  
the terms of remuneration of senior executives of the Company and the outcomes of remuneration reviews; 
employee equity plans and the allocations under those plans; 
recruitment,  retention,  performance  measurement  and  termination  policies  and  procedures  for  all  key 
management personnel and senior executives reporting directly to the Managing Director; 
disclosure of remuneration in the Company’s public materials including ASX filings and the Annual Report; and 
retirement payments. 

The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are Mr Brennan (Chair), Mr Cahill and Mr Johnston. 

2.2 

Services from Remuneration Consultants  

The Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee engaged the Hay Group as a remuneration consultant 
to the Board to review the amount of fixed remuneration for the President Director of Emeco’s Indonesian business. 
The Hay Group provided no other services in respect of KMPs during the year.  

The  Hay  Group  was  paid  $5,000  for  its  remuneration  recommendations  in  respect  of  the  review  of  the  President 
Director. The Hay Group was paid $30,673.50 in total for all other services. 

The  engagement of the Hay  Group was based on a documented  set of protocols to be followed by the Hay Group, 
members  of  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  and  KMPs  for  the  way  in  which  remuneration 
recommendations would be developed by the Hay Group and delivered to the Board.

These  arrangements  were  implemented  to  ensure  the  Hay  Group  would  be  able  to  carry  out  its  work,  including 
information  capture  and  the  formation  of  recommendations,  free  from  undue  influence  by  KMPs  about  whom  the 
recommendation may relate.  

The Board undertook its own enquiries and review of the processes and procedures followed by the Hay Group during 
the  course  of  its  assignment  and  is  satisfied  that  its  remuneration  recommendations  were  made  free  from  undue 
influence. These inquiries included arrangements under which the Hay Group was required to provide the Board with 
a summary of the way in which it carried out its work, details of its interaction with KMPs in relation to the assignment 
and other services.

Fixed remuneration 

Fixed  remuneration  comprises  base  salary,  employer  superannuation  contributions,  other  allowances  and  non-cash 
benefits. 

The  level  of  remuneration  is  set  to  enable  Emeco  to  attract  and  retain  proven  performers  once  they  are  working 
within the business.  

Each executive’s fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually in September. Fixed remuneration for the 
Group ‘s senior executives is set by reference to the fixed remuneration of comparable positions in comparable sized 
companies in the mining and mining services sectors. These sectors are considered to be appropriate as they are the 
key source of talent for the Company. The Company’s policy is to set the fixed remuneration for each senior executive 
positions  at  or  near  the  75th  percentile  of  the  fixed  remuneration  for  the  relevant  comparable  position  in  these 
sectors. 

An  executive’s  responsibilities,  experience,  qualifications,  performance  and  geographic  location  are  also  taken  into 
account.  

3.3 

Variable remuneration 

Variable remuneration is performance linked remuneration which consists of STIs and LTIs. Payment for performance 
assessed over one year is an STI. See section 3.3.1 for more information.   

Payment  for  performance  over  a  three  year  period  is  an  LTI  and  is  assessed  against  the  relative  Total  Shareholder 
Return (TSR) of a peer group of companies. See section 3.3.2 for more information.   

If  maximum  performance  is  achieved,  the  maximum  proportions  of  remuneration  attributable  to  each  incentive 
component (as a % of fixed pay) for most executives will be as shown in the following table:

3.3.1 

 STI remuneration 

Short term incentives are used to reward the performance of key management personnel over a full  financial year. 
The actual amount of STI payable is determined at the end of the financial year in light of the executive’s performance 
against agreed key performance indicators (KPIs).  The maximum achievable STI amount payable to an executive is set 
as a percentage of fixed remuneration (refer to table 16 above for details). 

The  STI  KPIs  are  chosen  to  ensure  that  important  non-financial  metrics  which  are  aligned  with  the  long  term 
sustainability and strategic success of the Company are included along with financial performance indicators. 

STI payments are made in cash after the financial year audit is completed and following review and approval by the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board. 

STI key performance indicators 

Financial KPIs in the FY12 STI include: 

• 
• 

Budgeted Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) 
Budgeted Return on Capital (ROC) 

These  two  financial  KPIs  have  been  chosen  because  they  directly  link  executives’  remuneration  outcomes  with  the 
quantity (NPAT) and quality (ROC) of the Company’s financial performance. In the Board’s view, these KPIs align the 
reward of executives with the interests of shareholders. 

The non-financial KPIs in the FY12 STI include: 

• 

• 

• 

Safety – The Board reviews the Company’s safety performance in detail at each board meeting and is striving to 
achieve  a  “zero-harm”  workplace  at  Emeco.      Progress  towards  this  aspiration  is  included  in  the  STI  KPIs  for 
executives.  The  primary  metrics  include  Total  Recordable  Injury  Frequency  rates  and  the  successful 
implementation  of  a  range  of  positive  safety  initiatives,  including  the  completion  of  safety  audits,  the 
enhancement  of  contractor  management  systems  and  the  establishment  of  behavioural  based  safety 
programs. 

Implementation of business strategy initiatives – Each year, the Board undertakes a planning process to review 
and update its business strategy. Progress of implementation of the current 5 year strategy by management is 
monitored by the Board and is included in the STI to ensure that an appropriate balance is maintained between 
the Company’s short term and long term objectives. 

Implementation of people strategy initiatives – The Board and management are of the view that attracting and 
retaining  the  best  people  is  critical  to  Emeco’s  ongoing  success.    Over  the  past  two  years,  the  Company  has 
undertaken  a  cultural  transformation  and  is  focused  on  creating  a  workplace  which  is  attractive  to  new  and 
current  employees.    As  set  out  in  the  Sustainability  Report  section  (page  12)  of  this  Annual  Report,  a 
comprehensive continuous improvement plan has been put in place to support the Company’s people strategy 
(page  14).  The  inclusion  of  these  non-financial  KPIs  in  the  STI  program  reflects  their  importance  to  Emeco’s 
performance.

3.3.2   LTI remuneration 

Performance Shares and Performance Rights 

Emeco  has  established  an  equity-based  LTI  plan  that  provides  for  a  reward  that  varies  with  company  performance 
over  a  three  year  period.  The  LTI  plan  applies  to  Emeco’s  senior  managers  (which  includes  key  management 
personnel). 

LTI remuneration aligns the interests of Emeco’s senior managers with the long term interests of its shareholders by 
providing Emeco’s senior managers with an ongoing incentive to deliver the long term objectives of the Emeco Group.  

Payment is in the form of Performance Shares or Performance Rights (LTI securities). Performance rights are issued to 
Emeco’s offshore executives instead of performance shares due to the complexity and cost of the compliance issues 
associated with the issue of shares in the relevant foreign jurisdictions.

Changes From Prior Period 

Grants  under  the  FY13  plan  and  all  future  grants  to  executives  will  include  the  following  changes  arising  from  the 
remuneration structure review:  

• 

• 

Dividends  in  respect  of  Performance  Shares  and  shadow  dividends  in  respect  of  Performance  Rights  will 
accumulate during the LTI vesting period and will be paid at the end of the vesting period if and only if there is 
a vesting and only in respect of vested LTI securities. 
If there is an absolute change in control of the Company, LTI securities on issue at the time of the change in 
control will automatically vest only if TSR performance hurdles have been met as at the date of the change of 
control, with the proportion of vesting LTI securities to be in accordance with the relevant TSR vesting schedule 
for each grant, provided that the Board will retain a discretion to vest a greater amount.  

In addition to the changes outlined above, a minor  change was  made to the terms of  the FY10 and FY11 LTI grants 
made to Mr Ian Testrow and to all other Canadian resident LTI plan participants. The terms of these LTI grants have 
been amended to provide for the conversion of vested LTI Performance Rights into shares automatically  at vesting. 
This is in line with the terms of the FY12 LTI grants made to Canadian resident LTI plan participants. Previously, the 
terms of the FY10 and FY11 grants provided that vested Performance Rights could be converted to shares at any time 
within two years of vesting at the grantee’s election. The reason for the change relates to the operation of Canadian 
income tax laws. This change, which came into effect on 25 June 2012, does not result in any change in the fair value 
of  the  respective  LTI  grants.  As  at  the  date  of  alteration  on  25  June  2012  the  fair  value  of  an  Emeco  share  was  as 
follows: FY09 tranche - 49 cents; FY10 tranche - 56 cents and FY11 tranche - 76 cents.  

LTI plan performance condition – relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)  

The performance condition for the vesting of Performance Shares and the exercise of Performance Rights under the 
FY12 LTI plan (and the FY11 and FY10 plans) is a performance hurdle based on relative total shareholder return (TSR).  

Emeco’s TSR at the end of a 3 year vesting period will be measured against a peer group, which at the time of the FY12 
grant,  comprised  a  total  of  95  companies  (this  number  may  change  as  a  result  of  takeovers,  mergers  etc).  TSR  for 
Emeco and each company in the Peer Group is calculated by reference to share price movement, dividends and capital 
returns.  

Within the peer group of 95 companies is a group of 18 companies that are considered direct peers to Emeco.  The 
remaining  companies  are  in  the  S&P/ASX  Small  Industrials  index  (excluding  banks,  insurance  companies,  property 
trusts/companies and investment property trusts/companies and other stapled securities).  

Vesting conditions for LTI securities 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  vesting  period,  TSR  for  all  companies  including  Emeco  will  be  measured  and  ranked.  
Performance shares will only vest and performance rights will only be exercisable if a threshold TSR performance is 
achieved in comparison with the Peer Group TSR.  There is a maximum and minimum vesting range and vesting occurs 
as follows:

Performance Shares that have not vested after the end of the performance period will be transferred to a nominee of 
the Company and held on trust for subsequent re-allocation. Performance Rights  which do not become exercisable 
will lapse. 

Performance  Shares  which  have  vested  will  be  transferred  into  the  name  of  the  participant.  For  executives  based 
outside Australia, Performance Rights will convert into shares and will be transferred into the name of the participant. 

Vesting on involuntary termination 

If an executive’s employment is terminated due to death, total and permanent disability, retrenchment or compulsory 
retirement  then  the  TSR  of  the  executive’s  outstanding  unvested  LTI  securities  will  be  tested  at  the  date  of 
termination.  If  the  performance  condition  has  been  met  then  the  LTI  securities  will  vest  based  on  the  TSR 
performance. All unvested LTI securities lapse if an executive resigns or is terminated for cause.  

Australian based executives 

In FY12, unvested fully paid Emeco Performance Shares were granted to individual Australian-based executives, with 
the number of shares granted being determined by reference to the executive’s LTI percentage entitlement and the 
fair value of the share grant. Performance Shares were granted at no cost to the recipient and at a nil exercise price; 
they vest if the performance condition described above is met.  

Executives based outside Australia 

Emeco  participants  in  the  FY12  LTI  plan  who  were  working  outside  Australia  were  issued  Performance  Rights  on 
substantially identical terms to the Performance Shares issued to Australian based-executives. Each Performance Right 
provides the recipient with the right to receive one fully paid Emeco share if the relevant performance hurdle is met.  

Prohibition of hedging LTI grants  

Emeco’s  share  trading  policy  prohibits  Directors  and  other  officers  of  the  Company  from  entering  into  transactions 
intended to hedge their exposure to Emeco securities  which have been issued to the officer as part of  the officer’s 
remuneration.

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance  

Emeco’s remuneration objectives effectively align the interests of Emeco’s senior executives with the interests of the 
Company and its shareholders.  

This has been achieved by ensuring that a significant proportion of senior executives’ remuneration is “at risk” in the 
form of Short  Term Incentive (STI) and LTI components.  STI entitlements are linked to  the achievement  of financial 
measures of the Company’s profitability and return on capital, and to the achievement of non-financial measures of 
operational  and  strategic  outcomes.  LTI  entitlements  are  linked  to  performance  relative  to  a  comparator  group  of 
similar companies.  

The  KPIs  used  to  determine  STI  entitlements  have  been  devised  to  ensure  that  key  management  personnel  are 
rewarded for robust earnings performance and the achievement of key strategic objectives.  

Details of the KPIs for the FY12 STI and LTI plans are set out in the following table:

Further  details  regarding  Emeco’s  executive  remuneration  structure  are  set  out  in  sections  3.2  and  3.3  of  this 
Remuneration Report.  

The extent to which Emeco has set financial performance KPIs which are genuinely challenging - and which entail that 
STI entitlements are genuinely at risk - is highlighted by the fact that no senior executive received an STI payment in 
FY10.  Furthermore,  only  two  senior  executives  received  an  STI  payment  in  FY09  and  only  five  of  eleven  senior 
executives received an STI payment in FY08. In FY11 all executives received a STI payment in line with the improved 
performance  of  the  Group  and  the  successful  execution  of  its  strategy.    In  FY12,  STI  payments  to  senior  executives 
decreased from the amounts paid in FY11 principally because the FY12 financial KPI targets were not met to the same 
extent as they were in FY11.  Details of these KPIs are set out below in section 5.2.

The primary focus of the Company is to increase its Return on Capital (ROC) to levels acceptable to shareholders.  The 
increase in the Company’s statutory ROC in FY12 from 10.3% to 13.0% is a significant increase and marks the second 
successive year of ROC improvements.  Statutory Profit/Loss also increased during the year to its highest level in the 
previous five reporting periods.  The Company improved statutory Profit/Loss by 41% in FY12 to $69.7 million. 

As noted above, the STI entitlements of Emeco’s senior executives in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were significantly reduced 
in line with the performance of the Company.  However, in FY11 and FY12 better Company performance has resulted 
in better STI entitlements for Emeco’s senior executives. 

The  Company’s  share  price  declined  significantly  in  FY09  and  FY10  before  increasing  nearly  100%  from  58  cents  at 
close of trading on 1 July 2010 to $1.13 at close of trading on 30 June 2011. During FY12 the Company’s share price 
peaked at $1.18 and ended the financial year at 87 cents.  A factor which was a primary cause of the volatility in the 
Company’s share price during FY12 was the uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment.   

During FY12 the Company amended its dividend policy to pay shareholders between 40% and 60% of the Company’s 
profit, franked to the fullest extent possible.  The Company has declared a dividend of three and a half cents per share 
for the half year ended 30 June 2012, taking the total dividend in respect of FY12 to six cents per share.  The previous 
policy was to pay shareholders between 35% and 45% of the Company’s profit.  There have been two exceptions in 
the last 5 years where this has not been the case. Firstly, no dividend was paid for the half year ended 31 December 
2009 in the wake of the global financial crisis and second, the Company paid a special dividend of five cents per share 
for the half year ended 31 December 2010. 

Furthermore,  on  20  August  2012,  the  Board  approved  a  share  buy-back  program  up  to  a  maximum  of  5%  of  the 
Company’s share capital as part of its capital management strategy. 

The primary means available to the Company to grow shareholder wealth, whether by way of dividend distributions or 
increases  in  the  Company’s  share  price,  is  to  strive  to  increase  earnings  and  ROC.  In  this  regard,  the  Company  will 
maintain  remuneration  policies  and  practices  which  reward  strong  financial  performance  and  align  the  interests  of 
management with the interests of shareholders.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

There has been no change to the basis of setting Non-Executive Director fees since the prior reporting period. 

Fees for Non-Executive Directors are fixed and are not linked to the financial performance of the Company. The Board 
believes this is necessary for Non-Executive Directors to maintain their independence. 

An  annual  cap  of  $1,200,000  is  currently  prescribed  in  the  Company’s  constitution  as  the  total  aggregate 
remuneration available to Non-Executive Directors.   

The allocation of fees to Non-Executive Directors within this cap has been determined after consideration of a number 
of factors including the time commitment of Directors, the size and scale of the Company’s operations, the skill sets of 
Board members, the quantum of fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies and participation in 
Board Committee work. 

The  Chairman  is  entitled  to  an  annual  fee  of  $197,798,  inclusive  of  superannuation  contributions.    The  other  Non-
Executive Directors receive an annual base fee of $113,027, inclusive of superannuation contributions. An additional 
annual  fee  of  $8,477,  inclusive  of  superannuation,  is  paid  to  any  Director  who  is  a  member  of  a  Board  Committee.  
This fee is increased to $11,303 for a Director who chairs a Committee.

The fair value of the LTI securities was determined using a Monte Carlo share price simulation model, and is allocated to each reporting 
period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed in the Directors’ and Officers’ remuneration (table 21) is 
the portion of the fair value of the performance shares recognised in this reporting period over the vesting period. 
The  fair  value  of  each  share  or  right  at  the  grant  date  is  as  follows  16-Dec-08  $0.28;  19-Apr-10  $0.49;  19-Nov-10  $0.56  and  23-Dec-11 
$0.76. 
For LTI Securities granted in FY10 the earliest vesting date is 30 September 2012. For LTI Securities granted in FY11 and FY12 the earliest 
vesting date is the tenth trading day after the announcement of the Company’s annual results in FY14 and FY15 respectively. 
The minimum value of each LTI tranche is zero.  
Mr Tilbrook ceased employment with Emeco on 7 October 2011. The LTI Securities which vested in FY12 for Mr Tilbrook include a portion 
of LTI Securities comprising 317,247 LTI Securities issued under the FY10 and FY11 LTI plans which were subject to TSR testing as at the 
date  of  the  termination  of  his  employment  and  which,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  grant,  vested  on  a  pro  rata  basis  as  a  result  of 
having satisfied the TSR performance condition. 
Mr  Christie-Johnston  ceased  employment  with  Emeco  on  26  November  2011.  The  LTI  Securities  which  vested  in  FY12  for  Mr  Christie-
Johnston include a portion of LTI Securities comprising 253,627 LTI Securities issued under the FY10 and FY11 LTI plans which were subject 
to TSR testing as at the date of the termination of his employment and which, in accordance with the terms of grant, vested on a pro rata 
basis as a result of having satisfied the TSR performance condition.

6.1.2  Management Incentive Share Plan (MISP) 

Emeco established a Management Incentive Share Plan (MISP) in 2005. The MISP was closed in 2008 at which time the 
last allocation of shares was made to a KMP. Details on the MISP are set out below.  

MISP Conditions 

Key terms and conditions of the issue of shares to the MISP Participants under the MISP are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

In accordance with the terms of the MISP the Company provided each MISP Participant with an interest-free, 
limited recourse loan (Loan) to enable them to subscribe for the MISP shares. 

The shares vest over a 5 year period with the first 6.25% of the shares vesting 2 years after the issue date. The 
shares then vest on an annual basis until all of the shares have vested on the 5th anniversary of their issue. 

If a MISP Participant’s employment with the Group is terminated before all of their MISP shares vest, then in 
relation  to  those  shares  which  have  not  vested,  the  Company  is  required  to  buy  them  back,  cancel  them  or 
transfer them to a nominee at a price equal to the Loan amount outstanding in respect of them and to set off 
the payment against the Loan amount owed to the Company. In relation to those shares which have vested, 
the Company must buy them back or transfer them to a nominee of the Board and pay to the MISP Participant 
a purchase price equal to their market value, subject to the Company setting off the Loan amount outstanding 
in respect of the vested shares. 

Subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Board,  the  Loan  can  be  repaid  at  any  time  but  must  be  repaid  by  the  tenth 
anniversary of the commencement date of the MISP. 

Any dividends or capital distributions which may become payable in respect of the MISP shares may be applied 
by the Company in reducing the amount of the loan. 

The  share  issues  under  the  MISP  to  each  MISP  Participant,  and  the  time  based  vesting  conditions  in  respect  of  the 
shares, are not dependent on the satisfaction of a performance condition because the issue of shares to them and the 
inclusion of time based vesting conditions in the terms of issue were intended to provide them with an incentive to 
remain with the Group. That is, the terms upon which the shares were issued to the MISP Participants were intended 
to operate as a retention incentive arrangement rather than a performance incentive arrangement. 

2012 MISP entitlements 

The  last  allocation  of  shares  to  key  management  personnel  under  the  MISP  was  made  to  Mr  Christie-Johnston  in 
March 2008.   

During  FY12,  the  Company  recognised  share  based  payments  to  Messrs  Christie-Johnston  and  Testrow  (MISP 
Participants) under the Company’s Management Incentive Share Plan (MISP) as set out below:

6.1.3  Emeco Employee Share Ownership Plan 

Emeco’s Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) is an elective plan which is open to all Australian employees. During 
FY12  several  senior  Emeco  executives  participated  in  the  ESOP  including  KMPs.  Details  of  the  shares  purchased  on 
their behalf and of the matching shares allocated to them under the ESOP are set out below:

[A] 

Mr Hamish Christie-Johnston terminated his employment with Emeco on 26 November 2011. 

Key terms and conditions of the ESOP are as follows:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Australian based employees may salary sacrifice a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $5,000 of pre-tax salary 
or wage to acquire Emeco ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the ESOP.  

For every 5 shares acquired by the employee under the ESOP, Emeco provides one matching share at no cost to 
the employee.  

The matching shares are subject to a vesting condition.  Under the ESOP, a participating employee must remain 
in their employment with Emeco for 1 year after the end of the calendar year in which the matching shares are 
acquired for them (Restriction Period).  If an employee leaves the Company before the expiry of the Restriction 
Period, they forfeit the matching shares.   

All  shares  acquired  under  the  ESOP  are  held  in  a  trust  on  behalf  of  ESOP  participants  by  the  trustee,  Pacific 
Custodians Pty Limited, which is an independent party separate from the Company.   

The  ESOP  shares  are  held  by  the  trustee  during  the  Restriction  Period.  The  ESOP  administrator,  Link  Market 
Services, releases the ESOP shares from the trust at the earlier of the expiry of the Restriction Period and the 
termination of the employee’s employment with Emeco.

Service contracts 

Chief Executive Officer – Mr Gordon 

Mr Gordon’s employment is for an indefinite duration. His employment may be terminated by the giving of 6 months’ 
notice  on  either  side.  However,  Emeco  may  terminate  Mr  Gordon’s  employment  with  a  lesser  period  of  notice  on 
payment in lieu of notice not given. 

Under Mr Gordon’s employment agreement the following terms apply if there is a change of control event in respect 
of Emeco Holdings Ltd: 

• 

• 

• 

Mr Gordon’s LTI awards will automatically vest.  

For a period of two years following a change of control event in respect of Emeco Holdings Ltd, Mr Gordon will 
be entitled to 12 months’ notice of termination. At the expiry of the two year period, the notice period will be 
reduced to 6 months.  

If,  within  two  years  of  a  change  of  control  event  in  respect  of  Emeco  Holdings  Ltd,  Emeco  materially  and 
substantially changes Mr Gordon’s duties beyond the duties ordinarily performed by a Chief Executive Officer 
(other than with the Executive’s agreement) he may serve written notice on the Emeco Board describing the 
conduct and indicating that he considers the conduct to be a serious breach of the Contract and that he elects 
to  bring  his  employment  to  an  end.    If  Emeco  has  repudiated  the  Contract  and  his  employment  is  thereby 
brought to an end, following service of the above notice on the Emeco Board, Mr Gordon will be entitled to 
receive a payment equivalent to 12 months’ base salary in lieu of notice.  

Chief Financial Officer - Mr Gobby 

Mr Gobby’s contract is for an indefinite term and provides that it is terminable on either party giving 6 months’ notice 
or  on  the  payment  to  him  of  up  to  6  months’  salary  in  lieu  of  notice.  If,  however,  a  change  of  control  of  Emeco 
Holdings Ltd occurs or his duties are materially changed within certain time periods specified in the contract, then he 
is entitled to terminate the contract and to be paid a maximum amount of 6 months’ base salary and the full amount 
of his STI bonus on a pro-rata basis. 

Other Executives 

Except as outlined above,  each of the key executives named in table 13 are employed  pursuant to contracts which 
provide for an indefinite term and which are terminable on either party giving 6 months’ notice or on the payment to 
the executive of up to 6 months’ salary in lieu of notice. No termination payments other than salary in lieu of notice 
and accrued statutory leave entitlements are payable under these contracts. 

Indemnification and insurance of directors, officers and auditors 

The  Company  has  entered  into  a  deed  of  access,  indemnity  and  insurance  with  each  of  its  current  and  former 
Directors,  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  and  the  Company  Secretary.  Under  the  terms  of  the  deed,  the  Company 
indemnifies  the  officer  or  former  officer,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  for  liabilities  incurred  as  an  officer  of  the 
Company. The deed provides that the Company must advance the officer reasonable costs incurred by the officer in 
defending certain proceedings or appearing before an inquiry or hearing of a government agency.  

Since  the  end  of  the  previous  financial  year,  the  Company  has  paid  premiums  in  respect  of  contracts  insuring  the 
current and former Directors and Officers of the Emeco Group, including senior executives, against liabilities incurred 
by  such  a  Director,  Officer  or  Executive  to  the  extent  permitted  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    The  contracts  of 
insurance prohibit disclosure of the nature of the liability cover and the amount of the premium.  

The Group has not indemnified its auditors, KPMG.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

1  Reporting entity 

Emeco  Holdings  Limited  (the  “Company”)  is  a  company  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  address  of  the  Company’s 
registered office is Level 3, 71 Walters Drive, Osborne Park WA 6017.  The consolidated financial statements of 
the  Company  as  at  and  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2012  comprise  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together 
referred to as the “Group”). The Group is a for profit entity and primarily involved in the renting, maintaining and 
selling of heavy earthmoving equipment to customers in the mining industry (refer note 16). 

2  Basis of preparation 

(a) 

(b) 

Statement of compliance 
The  consolidated  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  which  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board  (AASB)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    The  consolidated  financial  statements  comply  with 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  adopted  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards 
Board (IASB). 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  20  August 
2012. 

Basis of measurement 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis  except  for  the 
following material item in the statement of financial position: 
(cid:1) 
(cid:1) 
The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5. 

derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value 
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value 

(c)  

Functional and presentation currency 
These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  the  Company’s 
functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group. 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with 
that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest 
thousand unless otherwise stated.  

(d)   Use of estimates and judgements 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  the  IFRSs  requires 
management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from 
these estimates.  

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. 

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: 

Impairment of assets 
The recoverable amount of each non financial asset is determined as the higher of the value-in-use and fair 
value less costs to sell, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy note 3(i)(ii).  Determination of 
the recoverable amount of an asset based on a discounted cash flow model, requires the use of estimates 
and assumptions, including; the appropriate rate at which to discount the cash flows, the timing of the cash 
flow,  market risk premium, interest rates,  exchange rates, growth rates, future capital requirements and 
future  operating  performance.  Changes  in  these  estimates  and  assumptions  impact  the  recoverable 
amount of the asset, and accordingly could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of that asset.  
The carrying amount of such assets is set out in note 21.

2  Basis of preparation (continued) 

(d) 

Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 
Recognition of tax losses 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for deferred taxes (refer note 3(p)), a deferred tax 
asset is recognised for unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to 
utilise  these  losses.  This  includes  estimates  and  judgements  about  future  profitability  and  tax  rates.  
Changes  in  these  estimates  and  assumptions  could  impact  on  the  amount  and  probability  of  unused  tax 
losses and accordingly the recoverability of deferred tax assets.  The carrying amount of deferred tax assets 
are set out in note 12. 

Share based payments 
The  share  based  payments  are  recognised  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s  accounting  policies  (refer 
note 3(k)(v)) where the value of the share based payment is expensed from the grant date to vesting date. 
This  valuation  includes  estimates  and  judgements  about  volatility,  risk  free  rates,  dividend  yields,  total 
shareholder return (TSR) and underlying share price.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could 
impact on the measurement of the share based payment as set out in note 27. 

(e) 

Changes in accounting policies 
From 1 July 2011 the Group has not changed its accounting policies. 

3  Significant accounting policies 

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these 
consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. 

(a)  
(i)  

(ii) 

(b)

Basis of consolidation 
Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.  The financial statements of  subsidiaries are included in 
the  consolidated  financial  statements  from  the  date  that  control  commences  until  the  date  that  control 
ceases. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group 
transactions,  are  eliminated  in  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    Unrealised  losses  are 
eliminated  in  the  same  way  as  unrealised  gains,  but  only  to  the  extent  that  there  is  no  evidence  of 
impairment.  

Foreign currency 
Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at 
exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies  at  the  reporting  date  are  retranslated  to  the  functional  currency  at  the  exchange  rate  at  that 
date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the 
functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the 
period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Foreign currency (continued) 
Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations,  including  goodwill  and  fair  value  adjustments  arising  on 
acquisition, are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income 
and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of 
the transactions. 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign 
currency translation reserve (FCTR) in equity.  When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, 
significant  influence  or  joint  control  is  lost,  the  cumulative  amount  in  the  FCTR  related  to  that  foreign 
operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. 

(c)  
(i)  

Financial instruments 
Non-derivative financial assets 
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All 
other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.  

The  Group  derecognises  a  financial  asset  when  the  contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the  asset 
expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction 
in  which  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  financial  asset  are  transferred.  Any 
interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate 
asset or liability.  

Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  and  the  net  amount  presented  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position  when,  and  only  when,  the  Group  has  a  legal  right  to  offset  the  amounts  and  intends  either  to 
settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

The Group has non-derivative financial assets being: loans and receivables. 

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active  market.    Such  assets  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  plus  any  directly  attributable  transaction 
costs.    Subsequent  to  initial  recognition  loans  and  receivables  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective interest method, less any impairment losses.  

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  balances  and  call  deposits  with  original  maturities  of  three 
months  or  less  from  the  acquisition  date  that  are  subject  to  an  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in  their  fair 
value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short term commitments.

Financial instruments (continued) 
Non-derivative financial liabilities 
The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are 
originated.  All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) 
are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
of the instrument.   

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or 
expire.   

The  Group  classifies  non-derivative  financial  liabilities  into  the  other  financial  liabilities  category.    Such 
financial  liabilities  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  less  any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs. 
Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  these  financial  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  costs  using  the 
effective interest rate method unless the Group has applied fair value hedge accounting, in which case the 
non-derivative financial liability or a portion is recognised at fair value in profit or loss. 

Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables. 

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management 
are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. 

(iii)   Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting 

The  Group  holds  derivative  financial  instruments  to  hedge  its  foreign  currency  and  interest  rate  risk 
exposures.  Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in 
profit or loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and 
changes therein are accounted for as described below.  

On  initial  designation  of  the  derivative  as  the  hedging  instrument,  the  Group  formally  documents  the 
relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives 
and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will 
be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at 
the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments 
are  expected  to  be  “highly  effective”  in  offsetting  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  or  cash  flows  of  the 
respective  hedged  items  attributable  to  hedged  risk  and  whether  the  actual  results  of  each  hedge  are 
within a range of 80-125 percent.  For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should 
be  highly  probable  to  occur  and  should  present  an  exposure  to  variations  in  cash  flows  that  could 
ultimately affect reported profit or loss. 

Derivatives  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value;  attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognized  in  profit  or 
loss  as  incurred.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  derivatives  are  measured  at  fair  value  and  changes 
therein are accounted for as described below.

(iii)   Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting (continued) 

Fair value hedges 
The  risk  being  hedged  in  a  fair  value  hedge  is  a  change  in  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  or 
unrecognised  firm  commitment  that  may  affect  the  income  statement.  Changes  in  fair  value  might  arise 
through  changes  in  interest  rates  or  foreign  exchange  rates.  The  Group’s  fair  value  hedges  principally 
consist of interest rate swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fixed-rate long-
term financial instruments due to movements in market interest rates. The application of fair value hedge 
accounting results in the fair value adjustment on  the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk being 
recognised  in  the  income  statement  at  the  same  time  the  hedging  instrument  impacts  the  income 
statement. If a hedging relationship is terminated, the fair value adjustment to the hedged item continues 
to  be  recognised  as  part  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the  item  or  group  of  items  and  is  amortised  to  the 
income statement as a part of the effective yield over the period to maturity. Where the hedged item is 
derecognised  from  the  Group’s  balance  sheet,  the  fair  value  adjustment  is  included  in  the  income 
statement as a part of the gain or loss on disposal. 

Cash flow hedges 
When  a  derivative  is  designated  as  the  hedging  instrument  in  a  hedge  of  the  variability  in  cash  flows 
attributable to a particular risk associated with the recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast 
transaction  that  could  affect  profit  or  loss,  the  effective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the 
derivative  is  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  presented  in  the  hedging  reserve  in  equity. 
Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or 
loss. 

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in equity is included in the carrying 
amount  of  the  asset  when  the  asset  is  recognised.    In  other  cases  the  amount  accumulated  in  equity  is 
reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.  If the hedging 
instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, 
or  the  designation  is  revoked,  then  hedge  accounting  is  discontinued  prospectively.    If  the  forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified in profit or loss. 

Other non-trading derivatives 
When a derivative  financial instrument is not designated  in a hedge relationship that  qualifies for hedge 
accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

(iv)   Share capital 

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity.    Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  ordinary 
shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

Purchase of share capital (treasury shares) 
When share capital recognised as equity is purchased by the employee share plan trust, the amount of the 
consideration  paid,  which  includes  directly  attributable  costs,  net  of  any  tax  effects,  is  recognised  as  a 
deduction from equity.  Purchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the reserve 
for own shares net of any tax effects.  When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount 
received  is  recognised  as  an  increase  in  equity,  and  the  resulting  surplus  or  deficit  on  the  transaction  is 
transferred to/from retained earnings. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Property, plant and equipment 
Recognition and measurement 
Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
accumulated impairment losses. 

Cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  asset.  The  cost  of  self-
constructed assets includes the following: 

• 
• 

the cost of materials and direct labour, 
any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to  a  working  condition  for their  intended 
use, 

•  when the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, and estimate of the costs of 

dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and 
capitalised borrowing costs. 

• 

Cost also may include transfers from equity of any  gain or loss on qualifying cash flow  hedges of foreign 
currency  purchases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Purchased  software  that  is  integral  to  the 
functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for 
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 

Any  gain  or  loss  on  disposal  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  (calculated  as  the  difference 
between  the  net  proceeds  from  disposal  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  item)  is  recognised  in  profit  or 
loss. 

(ii)  

Subsequent costs  
Subsequent  expenditure  is  capitalised  only  when  it  is  probable  that  the  future  economic  benefits 
associated  with  the  expenditure  will  flow  to  the  Group.    Expenditure  on  major  overhauls  and 
refurbishments of equipment is capitalised in property, plant and equipment as it is incurred, where that 
expenditure  is  expected  to  provide  future  economic  benefits.  The  costs  of  the  day-to-day  servicing  of 
property, plant and equipment and on-going repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

(d) 
(iii)  Depreciation  

Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  excluding  freehold  land,  are  depreciated  over  their  estimated 
useful  lives  and  are  charged  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income.    Estimates  of  remaining  useful 
lives, residual values and the depreciation method are made on a regular basis, with annual re-assessments 
for major items. 

Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the 
time an asset is completed and held ready for use.  Where subsequent expenditure is capitalised into the 
asset, the estimated useful life of the total new asset is reassessed and depreciation charged accordingly. 

Depreciation  on  buildings,  leasehold  improvements,  furniture,  fixtures  and  fittings,  office  equipment, 
motor vehicles and sundry plant is calculated on a straight-line basis.  Depreciation on plant and equipment 
is calculated and charged on machine hours worked over their estimated useful life.   

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Leasehold Improvements 
Plant and Equipment 
Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings 
Office Equipment 
Motor Vehicles 
Sundry Plant 

15 years 
3 – 15 years 
10 years 
3 – 10 years

Intangible assets and goodwill 
Goodwill 
Goodwill (negative goodwill) arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value 
of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative 
(negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Subsequent measurement 
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.  

(ii) 

Other intangible assets 
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(iii)  Amortisation 

Except  for  goodwill,  intangible  assets  are  amortised  on  a  straight  line  basis  in  profit  or  loss  over  their 
estimated useful lives, from the date they are available for use. 

Amortisation  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of 
intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful 
lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: 

(cid:1) 

Software 

0 – 3 years 

(f)  

(g)  

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if 
appropriate. 

Leased assets 
Leases  in  terms  of  which  the  Group  assumes  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are 
classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the 
lower  of  its  fair  value  and  the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Subsequent  to  initial 
recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.  

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position.  

Inventories   
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on 
the  first-in  first-out  principle,  and  includes  expenditure  incurred  in  acquiring  the  inventories  and  other 
costs  incurred  in  bringing  them  to  their  existing  location  and  condition.  In  the  case  of  manufactured 
inventories  and  work  in  progress,  cost  includes  an  appropriate  share  of  production  overheads  based  on 
normal  operating  capacity.  Net  realisable  value  is  the  estimated  selling  price  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 

Inventory  is  occasionally  sold  under  a  Rental  Purchase  Option  (RPO).    Under  the  RPO  the  purchaser  is 
entitled  to  a  rebate  upon  exercising  the  option.    A  charge  is  recognised  against  the  carrying  value  of 
inventory on RPOs to reflect the consumption of economic benefits related to that inventory. 

(h)   Work in progress   

Progressive capital work to inventory and fixed assets are carried in work in progress accounts within their 
respective statement of financial position classifications with fixed assets being disclosed as a “capital work 
in progress”.  Upon work completion the balance is capitalised.

(i)  
(i)  

Impairment  
Non-derivative financial assets 
A  financial  asset  not  carried  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  is  assessed  at  each  reporting  date  to 
determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired.  A financial asset is impaired if there is 
objective  evidence  of  impairment  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  that  occurred  after  the  initial 
recognition of the asset, and that the loss events had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that 
asset that can be estimated reliably. 

Objective  evidence  that  financial  assets  are  impaired  includes  default  or  delinquency  by  a  debtor, 
restructuring  of  an  amount  due  to  the  Group  on  terms  that  the  Group  would  not  consider  otherwise, 
indications  that  a  debtor  or  issuer  will  enter  bankruptcy  and  economic  conditions  that  correlate  the 
defaults. 

The  Group  considers  evidence  of  impairment  for  financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  (loans  and 
receivables) at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for 
specific impairment. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment.   

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of 
recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current 
economic  and  credit  conditions  are  such  that  the  actual  losses  are  likely  to  be  greater  or  less  than 
suggested by historical trends.  

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  a  financial  asset  measured  at  amortised  cost  is  calculated  as  the 
difference  between  its  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows 
discounted  at  the  asset’s  original  effective  interest  rate.  Losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and 
reflected  in  an  allowance  account  against  receivables.  Interest  on  the  impaired  asset  continues  to  be 
recognised.  When  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  loss  was  recognised  causes  the  amount  of 
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. 

(ii)   Non-financial assets  

The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s  non-financial  assets,  excluding  inventories  and  deferred  tax  assets, 
are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  of  impairment.  If  any 
such  indication  exists,  then  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is  estimated.  Goodwill  and  indefinite  life 
intangible  assets  are  tested  annually  for  impairment.  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying 
amount of an asset or its related cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to 
sell.  In assessing fair value, the Group has assessed the amount it could obtain on disposal, less realisation 
costs. Fair value is calculated with regard to the discounted post tax cash flows or comparable transactions 
for similar businesses.  For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are 
grouped together into the smallest group of assets  that generates cash inflows from  continuing use that 
are  largely  independent  of  the  cash  inflows  of  other  assets  or  CGUs.    For  the  purposes  of  goodwill 
impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which 
impairment  is  tested  reflects  the  lowest  level  at  which  goodwill  is  monitored  for  internal  reporting 
purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of cash-generating units that 
are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. 

The  Group’s  corporate  assets  do  not  generate  separate  cash  inflows  and  are  utilised  by  more  than  one 
CGU.    Corporate  assets  are  allocated  to  CGUs  on  a  reasonable  and  consistent  basis  and  tested  for 
impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.

Impairment (continued) 
(i)  
(ii)   Non-financial assets (continued) 

Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  Impairment  losses  recognised  in  respect  of  CGUs  are 
allocated first to reduce the  carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the  CGU (group of CGUs), and 
then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.  For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed 
if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss 
is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that 
would  have  been  determined,  net  of  depreciation  or  amortisation,  if  no  impairment  loss  had  been 
recognised. 

Goodwill  assets  were  tested  for  impairment  at  30  June  2012  as  part  of  the  Group’s  process  of  annually 
testing goodwill for impairment. 

(j) 

Assets held for sale or distribution 
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered 
primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or 
distribution.  Immediately before classification as held for sale or distribution, the assets, or components of 
a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.  Thereafter generally 
the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to 
sell.  Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets 
and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred 
tax assets, employee benefit assets and investment property which continue to be measured in accordance 
with  the  Group’s  accounting  policies.    Impairment  losses  on  initial  classification  as  held  for  sale  or 
distribution and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.  Gains are 
not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. 

Once classified as held for sale or distribution, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no 
longer amortised or depreciated.

(i)  

Employee benefits 
Defined contribution plans 
A  defined  contribution  plan  is  a  post-employment  benefit  plan  under  which  an  entity  pays  fixed 
contributions  into  a  separate  entity  and  will  have  no  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  further 
amounts.    Obligations  for  contributions  to  defined  contribution  plans  are  recognised  as  an  employee 
benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.  Prepaid 
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments 
is available. 

(ii)   Other long-term employee benefits 

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that 
employees  have  earned  in  return  for  their  service  in  the  current  and  prior  periods  that  benefit  is 
discounted  to  determine  its  present  value,  and  the  fair  value  of  any  related  assets  is  deducted.  The 
discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on Commonwealth Government bonds that have maturity 
dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency 
in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

(iii)   Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is committed demonstrably, without 
realistic  possibility  of  withdrawal,  to  a  formal  detailed  plan  to  terminate  employment  before  the  normal 
retirement  date.  Termination  benefits  for  voluntary  redundancies  are  recognised  as  an  expense  if  the 
Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the 
number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. 

(iv)   Short-term benefits 

Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the 
related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term 
cash  bonus  or  profit-sharing  plans  if  the  Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  this 
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

(v) 

Share based payment transactions 
(a) 

A management incentive share plan (MISP) allows certain consolidated entity employees to acquire 
shares of the Company. Employees have been granted a limited recourse 10 year interest free loan 
in which to acquire the shares. The loan has not been recognised as the Company only has recourse 
to the value of the shares. The arrangement is accounted for as an in-substance option over ordinary 
shares. The grant date fair value of the shares granted to employees is recognised as an employee 
expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity,  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees 
become unconditionally entitled to the shares.  The fair value of the MISP granted is measured using 
a  Black  Scholes  pricing  model,  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  in-
substance  options  were  granted.    The  amount  recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the 
actual number of shares that vest except where forfeiture is only due to shares prices not achieving 
the threshold for vesting.   

(b) 

(c) 

increase 

The share option programme allows certain employees to acquire shares of the Company. The grant 
date  fair  value  of  options  granted  to  employees  is  recognised  as  an  employee  expense  with  a 
in  equity,  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become 
corresponding 
unconditionally entitled to the options.  The fair value of the options granted is measured using an 
option-pricing  model,  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  options  were 
granted.  The  amount  recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the  actual  number  of  share 
options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions not being met, i.e. share 
prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.  The share option programme concluded on 4 August 
2011. 

A long term incentive plan (LTIP) allows certain management personnel to receive shares or rights of 
the  Company  upon  satisfying  performance  conditions.    Under  the  LTIP  rights  or  shares  granted  to 
each LTIP participant vest to the employee after 3 years if the prescribed performance condition is 
met.  The performance condition is a performance hurdle based on relative total shareholder return 
(TSR).   The peer group that the Company’s TSR is measured against consists of 95 Companies (this 
number  may  change  as  a  result  of  takeovers,  mergers  etc)  and  includes  18  Companies  that  are 
considered  direct  peers  to  Emeco,  in  addition  to  the  S&P/ASX  Small  Industrials  (excluding  banks, 
insurance companies, property trust companies and investment property trust/companies and other 
stapled securities).  The fair value of the performance rights or shares granted under the LTIP have 
been measured using Monte Carlo simulation analysis and are expensed evenly over the period from 
grant date to vesting date.  

If the terms of the LTIP are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not 
been modified.  An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair 
value  of  the  share  based  payment  arrangement,  or  is  otherwise  beneficial  to  the  employee,  as 
measured at the date of modification.

Employee benefits (continued) 
Share based payment transactions (continued) 
(d) 

In  FY11  an  employee  share  ownership  plan  (ESOP)  was  established  to  allow  certain  employees  to 
acquire shares in the Company via salary sacrifice up to a limit of $5,000 each year.  For every five 
shares  purchased  by  the  employee,  recognised  as  treasury  shares,  the  Company  provides  one 
matching share, recognised as a share based payment.  Under the ESOP, the matching share will vest 
to  the  employee  after  one  year  after  the  end  of  calendar  year  in  which  the  matching  shares  are 
acquired.    These  matching  shares  are  fair  valued  and  are  expensed  evenly  over  the  period  from 
grant date to vesting date.  ESOP employees are entitled to dividends on the matching share when 
the dividends are declared. 

(e) 

Dividends received while satisfying the performance conditions of share issues under the MISP are 
allocated against the employee outstanding loan.  For all previous LTIP and ESOP plans, all LTIP and 
ESOP  recipients  are  entitled  to  any  dividends  that  are  declared  during  the  vesting  period.  For  the 
Group’s  Executives,  commencing  with  the  FY13  grant  and  all  subsequent  grants,  dividends  or 
shadow dividends will not be paid on any unvested securities and dividends or shadow dividends will 
accrue on unvested LTI securities and will only be paid at the time of vesting on those LTI securities 
that vest, provided all vesting conditions are met.

Provisions 
A  provision  is  recognised  if,  as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  the  Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive 
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be 
required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows 
at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the liability. 
Restructuring 
A  provision  for  restructuring  is  recognised  when  the  Group  has  approved  a  detailed  and  formal 
restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly.  Future 
operating costs are not provided for.

Revenue  from  the  rental  of  machines  is  recognised  in  profit  and  loss  based  on  the  number  of  hours  the 
machines operate each month.  Contracts generally have a minimum hour clause which is triggered should 
the  machine  operate  under  these  hours  during  each  month.  Customers  are  billed  monthly.  Revenue  is 
measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. 

(ii) 

Goods sold 
Revenue  from  the  sale  of  goods  in  the  course  of  ordinary  activities  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. 
Revenue  is  recognised  when  persuasive  evidence  exists,  usually  in  the  form  of  an  executed  sales 
agreement,  that  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  have  been  transferred  to  the  customer, 
recovery  of  the  consideration  is  probable,  the  associated  costs  and  possible  return  of  goods  can  be 
estimated  reliably,  there  is  no  continuing  management  involvement  with  the  goods,  and  the  amount  of 
revenue can be measured reliably.  

(iii)  Maintenance services 

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of 
the transaction at the reporting date.

(n)  

Leases 
Payments  made  under  operating  leases  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the 
term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, 
over the term of the lease.  

Minimum  lease payments  made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and 
the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease 
term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.  

(o)  

Finance income and finance costs 
Finance  income  comprises  interest  income,  dividend  income,  fair  value  gains  on  financial  assets  at  fair 
value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss.  Interest 
income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is 
recognised  on  the  date  that  the  Group’s  right  to  receive  payment  is  established,  which  in  the  case  of 
quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.  

Finance  costs  comprise  interest  expense  on  borrowings,  fair  value  losses  on  financial  assets  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss, losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and impairment 
losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables). All borrowing costs are recognised in 
profit or loss.  

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis in either finance income or finance expense 
depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. 

(p)  

Tax  
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax 
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect 
of previous years. 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not 
recognised for: 

• 

• 

• 

temporary  differences  on  the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss 
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future 
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  is  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  be  applied  to  the  temporary  differences 
when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting 
date. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  if  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax 
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable 
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis 
or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

(p)  

Tax (continued) 
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences 
to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profits  will  be  available  against  which  they  can  be 
utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with 
effect from 16 December 2004 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity 
within the tax-consolidated group is Emeco Holdings Limited. 

(q)   Discontinued operations 

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be 
classified  as  held  for  sale  or  distribution,  if  earlier.    When  an  operation  is  classified  as  a  discontinued 
operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been 
discontinued from the start of the comparative year. 

(r)  

Segment reporting 
Segment  results  that  are  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a 
segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise mainly 
cash, interest bearing liabilities and finance expense.  

4  New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

A  number  of  new  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and  interpretations  are  effective  for  annual  periods 
beginning  after  1  July  2011,  and  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing  these  consolidated  financial  statements.  
None  of  these  is  expected  to  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group, 
except for AASB 9 Financial Instruments, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2016 consolidated financial 
statements  and  could  change  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets.    The  Group  does  not 
currently intend to adopt this standard early and the extent of the impact has not been determined. 

5  Determination of fair values 

A  number  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  and  disclosures  require  the  determination  of  fair  value,  for  both 
financial  and  non-financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Fair  values  have  been  determined  for  measurement  and/or 
disclosure  purposes  based  on  the  following  methods.  When  applicable,  further  information  about  the 
assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 

(i)  

Property, plant and equipment 
The  fair  value  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  recognised  as  a  result  of  a  business  combination  is  the 
estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of acquisition between a willing 
buyer  and  a  willing  seller  in  an  arm’s  length  transaction  after  proper  marketing  wherein  the  parties  had 
each acted knowledgeably. The fair value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the 
market  approach  and  cost  approaches  using  quoted  market  prices  for  similar  items  when  available  and 
replacement  cost  when  appropriate.  Depreciated  replacement  cost  estimates  reflect  adjustments  for 
physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(ii)  

(iii)  

(iv) 

Intangible assets 
The  fair  value  of  contract  intangibles  acquired  in  a  business  combination  is  based  on  the  discounted 
estimated  net  future  cash  flows  that  are  expected  to  arise  as  a  result  of  the  contracts  that  are  in  place 
when the business combination was finalised. 

Inventory 
The fair value of inventory acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling 
price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable 
profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories. 

Trade and other receivables 
The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the 
present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.  Where 
this  fair  value  is  determined  for  disclosure  purposes  or  when  acquired  in  a  business  combination,  the 
market rate of interest is that at the date of acquisition. 

(v) 

Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps 
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on the discounted value of the difference between 
the  rate  the  contractual  forward  price  and  the  current  forward  price  for  the  residual  maturity  of  the 
contract using a credit adjusted risk free rate.  

The  fair  value  of  interest  rate  swaps  is  based  on  third  party  valuations  provided  by  financiers.  Those 
valuations  are  tested  for  reasonableness  by  discounting  estimated  future  cash  flows  based  on  the  terms 
and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement 
date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the 
credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate. 

(vi)  Other non-derivative financial liabilities 

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future 
principal  and  interest  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  market  rate  of  interest  at  the  reporting  date.  For 
finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. 

(vii)  Share-based payment transactions 

The fair value of employee share options, management incentive plan shares, and long term incentive plan 
shares  are  measured  using  an  option  pricing  model.  Measurement  inputs  include  share  price  on  issue, 
exercise  price  of  the  instrument,  expected  volatility,  weighted  average  expected  life  of  the  instruments, 
market  performance  conditions,  expected  dividends,  and  the  risk-free  interest  rate.  Service  and  non-
market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair 
value. The employee share ownership plan shares are measured at cost. 

(viii)  Equity and debt securities 

The fair value of equity and debt securities is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at 
the reporting date, or if unquoted determined using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques employed 
include market multiples and discounted cash flow analysis using expected future cash flows and a market 
related discount rate. The fair value of held to maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes 
only.

6  Financial instruments 

Overview 
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: 
(cid:1) 
credit risk  
(cid:1) 
liquidity risk 
(cid:1)  market risk 

This  note  presents  information  about  the  Group’s  exposure  to  each  of  the  above  risks,  the  Group’s  objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital.  

Risk management framework 
The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  Group’s  risk 
management  framework.  The  Board  has  established  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  (Committee),  which  is 
responsible  for  developing  and  monitoring  the  Group’s  risk  management  policies.    The  Committee  reports 
regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.  

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and 
systems  are  reviewed  regularly  to  reflect  changes  in  market  conditions  and  the  Group’s  activities.  The  Group, 
through  its  training,  management  standards  and  procedures,  aim  to  develop  a  disciplined  and  constructive 
control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. 

The  Committee  oversees  how  management  monitors  compliance  with  the  Group’s  risk  management  policies  and 
procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.  
The Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Audit function.  Internal Audit undertakes reviews of risk 
management controls and procedures at the direction of the Committee. The results of the reviews are reported to 
the Committee. 

Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.  

Exposure to credit risk 
The  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure.    The  Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk (continued) 

Trade and other receivables 
The  Group’s  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  influenced  mainly  by  the  individual  characteristics  of  each  customer. 
However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk 
of the industry and country in which customers operate,  as these  factors  may have an influence on credit risk.  
The  Group  sets  individual  counter  party  limits  and  where  possible  insures  its  rental  income  within  Australia, 
Indonesia and Canada, and generally operates on a “cash for keys” policy within its Sales business. 

Both insured and uninsured debtors are subject to the Group’s credit policy. The Group’s credit policy requires each 
new customer to be analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery 
terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases 
bank  references.  Purchase  limits  are  established  for  each  customer  according  to  the  external  rating  and  are 
approved by the appropriate management level dependent on the size of the limit.  In the instance that a customer 
fails to meet the Group’s creditworthiness and the Group is unable to secure credit insurance, future transactions 
with the customer will only be on a prepayment basis, or appropriate security such as a bank guarantee or letter of 
credit. 

Where commercially available the Group aims to insure the majority of rental customers that are not considered 
either  blue  chip  customers,  subsidiaries  of  blue  chip  companies  or  Government.    Blue  chip  customers  are 
determined  as  those  customers  who  have  a  market  capitalisation  of  greater  than  $750  million  (2011:  $750 
million).  The Australian business held insurance for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2012.  The Indonesian 
business established insurance on its receivables in November 2011. The Canadian business does not have credit 
risk insurance. 

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of 
trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to 
individually  significant  exposures.  The  specific  loss  component  is  made  up  of  the  insurance  excess  for  insured 
debts that have been classified as doubtful and uninsured customers that are classified as doubtful.  As at 30 June 
2012  the  Group  had  impairment  for  doubtful  debts  of  $2.1  million  (2011:  $12.2  million).  The  decrease  in  the 
impairment of doubtful debts was largely due to reversal upon recognition of a bad debt relating to one customer 
in the Indonesian business that was provided for in FY11 amounting to $9.8 million (pre-tax). 

As  at  30  June  2012  the  Group  recognised  bad  debt  write-offs  for  a  total  amount  of  $11.1  million  (2011:  $1.7 
million) of which $10.9 million related to two customers in the Indonesian business that were fully provided for as 
doubtful debts at 30 June 2011.  

The  Group  believes  that  the  unimpaired  amounts  that  are  past  due  by  more  than  30  days  are  still  collectible, 
based on historic payment behaviour and extensive analyses of the underlying customers’ credit ratings.  

The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $73.1 million at 30 June 2012 (2011: $5.5 million), which represents 
its  maximum  credit  exposure  on  these  assets.  The  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  held  with  bank  and  financial 
institution counterparties which are rated greater than AA-. 

The Group also held interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps of $1.8 million and $2.5 million 
respectively at 30 June 2012, which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets.  The interest rate 
swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps are held with bank and financial institution counter parties which 
are rated greater than A-.

Collateral 
Collateral is held for customers that are assessed to be a higher risk.  At 30 June 2012 the Group held $2.8 million 
of bank guarantees (2011: $2.7 million) and $0.1 million of prepayments (2011: $0.1 million). 

Guarantees  
Financial guarantees are generally only provided to wholly-owned subsidiaries or  when entering into a  premise 
rental  agreement.  Details  of  outstanding  guarantees  are  provided  in  note  29.  At  30  June  2012  $122,500 
guarantees were outstanding (2011: $342,500). 

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  the  obligations  associated  with  its 
financial  liabilities  that  are  settled  by  delivering  cash  or  another  financial  asset.  The  Group’s  approach  to 
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities 
when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage 
to the Group’s reputation. 

The  Group  monitors  working  capital  limits  and  employs  maintenance  planning  and  life  cycle  costing  models  to 
price  its  rental  contracts.    These  processes  assist  it  in  monitoring  cash  flow  requirements  and  optimising  cash 
return  in  its  operations.  Typically  the  Group  ensures  that  it  has  sufficient  cash  on  demand  to  meet  expected 
operational  expenses  for  a  period  of  60  days,  including  the  servicing  of  financial  obligations;  this  excludes  the 
potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

The  gross  inflows/(outflows)  disclosed  in  the  previous  table  represent  the  contractual  undiscounted  cash  flows 
relating to derivative financial liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are usually not closed out 
prior  to  contractual  maturity.    The  disclosure  shows  net  cash  flow  amounts  for  derivatives  that  are  net  cash 
settled and gross cash inflow and outflow amounts for derivatives that have simultaneous gross cash settlement, 
e.g. forward exchange contracts.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Market risk 
Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates,  interest  rates  and  equity 
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market 
risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising 
the return. 

The  Group enters into derivatives, and also incurs  financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks.  All  such 
transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Group’s hedging policy. Generally the Group seeks to 
apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss. 

Currency risk 
The Group is exposed to currency risk on revenue, expenditure, assets and borrowings that are denominated in a 
currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), 
but also the United States Dollars (USD) and Canadian Dollars (CAD). The currencies in which these transactions 
primarily are denominated are AUD, USD, CAD, Euro dollars (EURO), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Chilean Peso (PSO) 
and Japanese Yen (YEN). 

The  Group  hedges  all  trade  receivables  and  trade  payables  that  are  denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the 
functional  currency  of  the  respective  subsidiary  exposed  to  the  transaction,  and  is  an  amount  greater  than 
$50,000.  The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.  Most of the forward exchange 
contracts have maturities of less than 6 months. 

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the AUD, the Group ensures that 
the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by matching foreign denominated financial assets with matching 
financial liabilities and vice versa. 

Interest on borrowings from the syndicated debt facility is denominated in currencies that match the cash flows 
generated  by  the  underlying  operations  of  the  Group,  primarily  AUD,  but  also  USD  and  CAD.  This  provides  an 
economic hedge without derivatives being entered into and therefore no application of hedge accounting. 

The  Group’s  investments  in  its  subsidiaries  and  their  earnings  for  the  year  are  not  hedged  as  these  currency 
positions are considered long term in nature. 

The Group’s foreign currency exposure denominated on the senior debt facility is not hedged to manage the risk 
of  breaching  its  syndicated  debt  facility  limit  of  $450.0  million  as  the  Group  considers  there  to  be  appropriate 
headroom for any adverse movement in exchange rates (refer note 25). 

In  May  2012  the  Group  issued  US$140.0  million  of  notes  in  the  USPP  market  of  which  US$20.0  million  and 
US$30.0 million of the 7 and 10 year maturities, respectively, were swapped back to AUD through the use of cross 
currency  interest  rate  swaps.    As  derivatives  have  been  entered  into,  hedge  accounting  will  apply  to  these 
instruments. The remainder  of the USD foreign exchange  exposure at 30 June 2012 is  expected to be offset by 
financial  assets  denominated  in  the  same  currency  providing  an  economic  hedge  without  derivatives  being 
entered  into.  In  addition,  some  of  the  Group’s  subsidiaries  operate  in  USD  which  further  mitigates  the  USD 
foreign currency exposure.

Sensitivity analysis 
A  strengthening  of  the  Australian  dollar,  as  indicated  below,  against  the  following  currencies  at  30  June  2012 
would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based 
on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of 
the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.  
The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011, as indicated below:

Interest rate risk 
In accordance with the Board’s policy the Group is required to maintain a range between a maximum of 70% and 
a minimum of 30% of its exposure to  changes in interest  rates on borrowings on a fixed rate basis, taking into 
account assets with exposure to changes in interest rates for an average tenure of no less than 2 years into the 
future. This is achieved by entering into interest rate swaps and the issue of fixed interest notes. 

Profile 
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: 

Variable rate instruments:
Cash at bank
Interest bearing liabilities
Effective interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk
Australian dollar (USPP US$50m)
US dollar (USPP US$40m)
Australian dollars (A$80M)
Canadian dollars C$120M (2011: C$80M) (1)

Includes C$40M forward start swaps. 

The Group classifies its debt related derivatives into three categories being floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, 
fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.  

Cash flow hedges and fair value hedges 
The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are designated as cash flow hedges through equity.  
Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss to the extent they are 
effective  hedges.  The  interest  rate  swaps  are  designated  to  hedge  the  exposure  to  variability  in  cash  flows 
attributed to market interest rate risk. 

The fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are accounted for as fair value hedges.  Therefore a 
change  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  affects  profit  or  loss.    The  interest  rate  swaps  are  designated  to 
hedge the exposure to liquidity risk through the benchmark interest rate. 

The cross currency interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are accounted for as both cash flow hedges and fair 
value  hedges.  The  cross  currency  interest  rate  swaps  are  designated  to  hedge  the  exposure  to  variability  in 
foreign exchange rates and exposure to liquidity risk through the benchmark interest rate.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 
The  Group  accounts  for  certain  fixed  rate  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  and  the  Group 
designates derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. 
Therefore  a  change  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  would  affect  profit  or  loss  and  not  equity  on  these 
instruments. 

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss 
by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, 
remain constant.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and 
profit  or  loss  by  the  amounts  shown  below.  The  analysis  assumes  that  all  other  variables,  in  particular  foreign 
currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011.

The basis for determining fair values is disclosed in note 5. 

Fair value hierarchy 
All  the  Group’s  financial  instruments  carried  at  fair  value  would  be  categorised  at  level  2  in  the  fair  value 
hierarchy  as  their  value  is  based  on  inputs  other  than  the  quoted  prices  that  are  observable  for  these 
assets/(liabilities), either directly or indirectly.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2012 

6  Financial instruments (continued)

Capital management 
Underpinning  Emeco’s  strategic  framework  is  consistent  value  creation  for  shareholders.   Central  to  this  is  the 
continual evaluation of the Company’s capital structure to ensure it is optimised to deliver value to shareholders. 
The  Board’s  policy  is  to  maintain  diversified,  long-term  sources  of  funding  to  maintain  investor,  creditor  and 
market  confidence  and  to  support  the  future  growth  of  the  business.  This  policy  is  being  achieved  through 
optimising  the  mix  of  debt  and  equity  to  match  the  Company’s  requirements  and  through  a  blended  maturity 
profile  of  employing  a  mixture  of  3  year  and  5  year  tranches  with  a  syndicate  of  investment  grade  financial 
institutions. The issue of US$140.0 million notes in the USPP market diversifies the Group’s source of debt funding 
and extends the Group’s debt maturity profile with the notes being tranches of 7 and 10 years.   

The Board of Directors also evaluates and monitors the level of distributions to ordinary shareholders in the form 
of dividends or other capital initiatives.  In addition to the payment of dividends in FY12, on 20 August 2012, the 
Board approved an on-market buyback up to a maximum of 5% (31,561,879) of the Company’s shares over the 
next 12 months.  

The Board seeks to maintain a balance between higher returns possible with higher levels of borrowings and the 
security  afforded  by  a  sound  capital  position.   Throughout  the  year  the  Group  monitors  its  gearing  ratio 
determined  as  total  debt  excluding  the  effects  of  hedge  accounting  and  fair  value  adjustments  over  the  last 
twelve months divided by normalised EBITDA.  The gearing ratio is kept at a level of less than 3.0 times as defined 
by the Company’s banking covenant.  During the year the gearing ratio remained within the range of 1.4 times to 
1.8 times (2011: 1.2 – 1.6 times). 

The  Company’s  primary  return  metric  is  return  on  capital  (ROC),  which  the  Group  defines  as  earnings  before 
interest and tax (EBIT) divided by Invested Capital defined as the average over the period of equity, plus interest 
bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s ROC for the year was 13.0% (2011: (10.3%)).  This 
includes non-recurring items of $1.1 million (after tax). Had the non-recurring items not been included the Group 
EBIT return on capital for the year would have been 13.2% (2011: 11.3%).

In  order  to  satisfy  potential  future  obligations  under  its  employee  share  plans  the  Group  purchases,  via  an 
employee  share  trust,  its  own  shares  on  market.   The  quantum  of  these  purchases  depends  on  the  number  of 
securities that have been issued under its employee share plans.  The purchase of shares by the employee share 
trust is done on a periodic basis by Emeco’s share registry service provider acting as agent for the trustee of the 
employee share trust.  

There  have  been  no  changes  to  externally  imposed  capital  restrictions  or  the  Board’s  approach  to  capital 
management during the year other than referred to above.

receivables;

franking  credits  that  will  arise  from  the  receipt  of  dividends  recognised  as  receivables  by  the  tax 
consolidated group at the year-end; and 
franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years. 

The  ability  to  utilise  the  franking  credits  is  dependent  upon  there  being  sufficient  available  profits  to 
declare dividends.  The impact on the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance 
sheet date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $9,468,000 (2011: $8,116,000).  In accordance 
with the tax consolidation legislation, the Company as the head entity in the Australian tax-consolidated 
group has also assumed the benefit of $59,733,000 (2011: $45,625,000) franking credits.

For the year ended 30 June 2012 

16  Segment reporting 

The  Group  has  seven  reportable  segments,  as  described  below,  which  are  the  Group’s  strategic  business  units.  
The  strategic  business  units  offer  different  products  and  services,  and  are  managed  separately  because  they 
require  different  operational  strategies.    For  each  of  the  strategic  business  units,  the  Managing  Director  and 
Board of Directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis.  The following summary describes the 
operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments: 

Australian Rental 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Australia. The Victorian Rental business was classified as a discontinued 
operation and a disposal group held for sale in 2010. 

Australian Sales 

Sells  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  to  customers  in  the  civil  construction 
and mining industries in Australia. 

Australian Parts 

Procures  and  supplies  globally  sourced  used  and  reconditioned  parts  to  external 
customers and internally to the rental and sales divisions within Australia.   

Indonesia 

Canada 

Chile 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  service  to 
customers in Indonesia. 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers who are predominately within Canada. 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  service  to 
customers in Chile. 

Europe 
(Discontinued) 

Provided a wide range of earthmoving equipment for rental or sale and maintenance 
service to customers in Europe.  This segment was discontinued in 2010. 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based 
on  segment  profit  before  interest  and  income  tax  as  included  in  the  internal  management  reports  that  are 
reviewed by the Group’s Managing Director and Board of Directors.  Segment profit before interest and income 
tax  is  used  to  measure  performance  as  management  believes  that  such  information  is  the  most  relevant  in 
evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.  Inter-
segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

The  Group  has  determined  the  recoverable  amount  of  its  cash  generating  units  (CGU)  using  a  value  in  use 
methodology (2011: value in use) which is based on discounted cash flows for five years plus a terminal value. 
Real post tax discount rates have been derived as a weighted cost of equity and debt. Cost of equity is calculated 
using  country  specific  ten  year  bond  rates  plus  an  appropriate  market  risk  premium.  The  cost  of  debt  is 
determined using the CGU’s functional currencies three year swap rate plus a margin for three year tenor debt 
of equivalently credit rated businesses at 30 June 2012.  The three year swap rates were used as the base rate to 
reflect the relative illiquidity for longer tenure debt in the current market. The real post tax discount rates for 
determining  the  rental  CGU’s  valuations  range  between  5.4%  and  7.6%  (2011:  6.6%  and  7.3%).  For  future 
cashflows of each CGU, the revenue growth in the first year of the business plan includes the benefit from the 
Group’s committed capital investment which will be delivered across FY13 and translate in part to year on year 
revenue growth, mostly in Indonesia and Canada.  The second year of the business plan will also be influenced 
to the extent that 100% of the FY13 capital investment will contribute to revenue in FY14.  Subsequent revenue 
growth  rates  are  assumed  to  be  between  a  range  of  2.0%  -  3.0%  per  year  (2011:  2.0%  -  3.0%)  representing 
anticipated  improvements  in  capital  turnover  and  margins.   Compound  annual  growth  rates  over  the  first  six 
years of the forecast range between 2.0% (2011: 4.4%) and 10.0% (2011: 8.7%). 

The CGU valuations are sensitive to changes in the discount rate. The Company has further tested those CGU’s 
that were not impaired during the year by increasing the discount rate for each of the CGU’s by an additional 
2.0%  (2011:  2.0%).  The  sensitised  testing  confirmed  that  no  impairment  would  be  recognised  under  this 
scenario.

assets  and  undertakings  of  the  Group  shared  proportionately  with  the  noteholders  of  the  USPP  notes  issue.  
The  $450.0  million  facility  was  established  on  5  November  2010  and  comprises  a  three  year  $300.0  million 
tranche  which  matures  on  5  November  2013  and  a  five  year  $150.0  million  tranche  which  matures  on  5

The fair value of services received in return for the performance shares and rights granted during the year are 
based on the fair value of the LTIPs granted, measured using Monte Carlo simulation analysis.  Expected volatility 
is estimated by considering the Company’s historical daily and monthly share price movement and an analysis of 
comparable companies. Market conditions are detailed in note 3(k)(v). The inputs used in the measurement of 
the fair values at grant date are as follows:

The fair value assumptions for unvested MISPs that continued to be expensed have not changed since the fair 
value was determined at grant date in previous years. 

Modification of long term incentive plan 

On 13 August 2010 the Board resolved to amend the terms of all existing and future grants of LTI securities as 
follows: 

• 

• 

commencing with the dividend declared by the Directors for the half year ended 30 June 2010, dividends in 
respect of performance shares and shadow dividends in respect of performance rights would be paid to the 
holders of those securities.  Previously, dividends were paid into the Emeco Employee share plan trust; and 
if there is an absolute change in control of the Company, all LTI securities on issue at the time of the change 
in  control  will  automatically  vest.    Previously,  the  Board  retained  a  discretion  as  to  whether  LTI  securities 
would vest upon a change of control. 

The incremental fair value granted for the LTIPs were as follows:

For the Group’s key management personnel commencing with the FY13 grant and all subsequent grants of LTI 
securities the following applies: 

Dividends: 

• 
• 

dividends (or shadow dividends) will not be paid on unvested LTI securities; 
dividends (or shadow dividends) will accrue on unvested LTI securities and will only be paid at the time of 
vesting on those LTI securities that vest, provided all vesting conditions are met; and 

Absolute change in control: 

• 
• 

• 

the proportion of vesting LTI securities will be pro-rated to reflect the performance achieved; 
the proportion of vesting LTI securities will be in accordance with the relevant TSR vesting schedule for each 
grant; and 
the Board retains the discretion to vest a greater amount.

The  Group  leases  the  majority  of  their  operating  premises.    The  terms  of  the  lease  are  negotiated  in 
conjunction with the Group’s internal and external advisors and are dependent upon market forces. 

During the year ended 30 June 2012 an amount of $4,091,000 was recognised as an expense in profit or 
loss in respect of operating leases (2011: $5,265,000). 

(b)  Capital commitments 

The  Group  has  entered  into  commitments  with  certain  suppliers  for  purchases  of  fixed  assets,  primarily 
rental fleet assets, in the amount of $77,107,000 (2011: $147,637,000) payable within one year. 

29  Contingent Liabilities 

The  Company’s  Indonesian  subsidiary,  PT  Prima  Traktor  IndoNusa  (PTI),  is  defending  an  action  brought  by  a 
customer  PT  Kideco  JayaAgung  (Kideco).  The  claim  relates  to  consequential  losses  which  Kideco  alleges  arose 
from a disruption of port operations associated with the demobilisation of Emeco equipment by an independent 
third party. This claim is  viewed as a counter-claim to Emeco’s initial debtor recovery claim against  Kideco for 
US$1.95 million. PTI does not admit liability in respect of Kideco’s claim and the Company considers it is without 
merit.  Accordingly,  PTI  is  defending  the  action.  Consistent  with  its  view  that  Kideco’s  claim  lacks  merit,  the 
Company does not expect the outcome of the action to have a material effect on the Group’s financial position. 
However,  if  defence  against  the  action  is  unsuccessful,  then  loss  and  damages  could potentially amount  up to 
US$22.3 million, which is the amount of the counter-claim by Kideco. 

Guarantees 
The  Group  has  guaranteed  the  repayments  of  $122,500  (2011:  $342,500)  in  relation  to  office  premises  with 
varying expiry dates out to 30 June 2013. 

30  Contingent assets (de-recognition) 

At  30  June  2011,  the  Company  was  of  the  view  that  it  was  entitled  to  a  tax  deduction  of  $17,063,000  and  a 
refund of $5,119,000 based on a change in legislation to the deductibility of contract intangibles.  During FY12, 
the  legislation  has  been  amended  again,  and  it  is  now  unlikely  that  the  deduction  will  be  available  to  the 
Company.

winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after six 
months any creditor has not been paid in full.  The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the event
