during FY13, returning capital 
to shareholders 

Dear Shareholder, 

We are pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for financial year 2012/2013 (FY13). 

ADAPTING OUR BUSINESS TO CHANGING MARKETS 

Emeco  has  exposure  to  the  mining  industry  across  a  range  of  commodities  and  geographies.  Following  a  period  of 
strong  activity  across  all  parts  of  our  business  we  experienced  a  sharp  slow-down  in  activity  across  Australia  and 
Indonesia. 

Emeco’s  Canadian  business  grew  in  FY13  on  the  back  of  our  strategy  to  align  the  business  with  oil  majors  and 
indigenous  contractors  and  we  also  executed  a  successful  expansion  into  Chile.  Our  success  in  Canada  and  Chile 
demonstrates Emeco’s ability to adapt the business to create value for customers and shareholders, while maintaining 
our disciplined approach to managing our balance sheet. 

Moving into FY14 Emeco is continuing to assess opportunities for  further geographical expansion, working with our 
customers to create innovative equipment solutions and focusing on growth opportunities which create greater value 
for our shareholders. A key focus for us in these challenging times is to focus on cash flow generation in order to keep 
our balance sheet in good shape. 

SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY 

The  safety  of  our  employees  and  those  we  work  with  is  a  key  priority of  the  Board  and  business  with  our  ultimate 
objective  to  achieve  “zero  harm”.  During  FY13  Emeco  continued  to  invest  in  safe  work  practices  and  initiatives  to 
further entrench a culture of “safety first” throughout the business. Emeco’s group Total Reportable Injury Frequency 
Rate (TRIFR) improved by 39% during the period, however our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) increased to 
3.5 (up from 1.7 in FY12). The Board is committed to continual improvement in our safety measures during FY14 and 
beyond. 

A key factor to Emeco’s future success is our ability to attract and retain high calibre people. We continue to focus on 
training  and  development  with  individual  training  needs  identified  through  our  annual  performance  management 
process.   Due to the downturn in the market during  the  year resulting in reduced workload, particularly across our 
Australian and Indonesian sites, the Company had to make a number of employee positions redundant.  This is always 
a difficult decision but unfortunately has been a consistent theme across the resources sector in FY13.   

Diversity has been a focus of the Emeco Board for a number of years now. During the year we established our diversity 
framework  which  is  supported  by  an  action  plan  to  be  driven  by  Management  across  the  business.  A  number  of 
initiatives were implemented during the year to lay the foundation for improved diversity reporting, awareness and 
more flexible work practices.  

Emeco  continued  to  actively  and  positively  contribute  to  the  communities  in  which  it  operates  during  the  period. 
Particular  highlights  include  Emeco’s  involvement  with  the  Clontarf  Foundation  in  Australia;  the  operator  training 
program developed by Women Building Futures in Canada; and the high level of employee participation in the mental 
health and suicide awareness training offered at Emeco workplaces through our partnership with Lifeline Australia. 

Emeco’s successes in engaging with employees, enhancing diversity, investing in community initiatives and improving 
safety during FY13 are detailed further in our Sustainability Report (page 18).

CONTINUALLY IMPROVING OUR REPORTING TO SHAREHOLDERS 

The  Emeco  Board  is  committed  to  ensuring  we  keep  shareholders  informed  of  our  performance.  You’ll  notice  an 
improved  annual  report  structure  tailored  to  providing  our  shareholders  with  key  information  required  to  make 
informed  decisions  regarding  their  shareholdings.  In  particular,  we  have  expanded  our  operational  and  financial 
review  with  a  focus  on  informing  our  readers  of  the  key  business  risks  facing  Emeco  today  and  how  we  intend  to 
mitigate these risks during FY14 (page 7). 

DELIVERING RETURNS TO SHAREHOLDERS OVER THE LONG-TERM 

The  Board  remains  committed  to  Emeco’s  dividend  policy  of  a  40–60%  payout  ratio  of  annual  Operating  NPAT, 
franked to the fullest extent possible.  The Company delivered a 2.5 cent interim dividend which represents 42.5% of 
FY13 annual Operating NPAT. With consideration given to Emeco’s current tough operating environment, the Board’s 
focus  on  managing  cashflows  to  maintain  a  strong  financial  position  and  the  level  of  returns  already  made  to 
shareholders during FY13, the Board has declared a nil final dividend for FY13.  

The Emeco Board is firmly focussed on delivering strong shareholder returns over the long term with a current aim of 
positioning the business to benefit from strengthening commodity markets over the next few years. Our commitment 
to  delivering  value  for  shareholders  is  evidenced  by  the  special  dividend  of  5.0  cents  paid  during  FY11  and  more 
recently through the 5% share buy-back conducted during the first half of FY13.  

BUSINESS REMAINS WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE 

Despite  the  challenging  operating  and  economic  environment  Emeco  endured  during  FY13,  the  business  remains 
motivated to build a solid foundation on which we can grow following the current downturn. As FY14 brings with it a 
new set of challenges, the business is well positioned to execute its key strategies of diversifying our earnings base, 
demonstrating greater flexibility in meeting our customer’s equipment needs and maintaining a disciplined approach 
to balance sheet management.  

I’d  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  Keith  Gordon  for  his  contribution  to  Emeco  since  December  2009.    Under 
Keith’s leadership Emeco has achieved its strategy of restructuring the business to focus on the global mining industry, 
a strategy which has delivered significant returns to shareholders since 2010. The business has commenced a global 
search  to  identify  a  successor  for  Keith,  we  look  forward  to  reporting  news  of  a  replacement  once  this  process  is 
completed.

MANAGING THE BUSINESS DURING CHALLENGING TIMES 

Coming off a period of strong mining activity in FY12, the operating landscape for Emeco changed rapidly across our 
key regions during FY13.  Lower commodity prices, the high value of the Australian dollar and a consequential change 
in objectives of the global miners led to a rapid decline in mining activity.  Over the past 12 months Emeco’s operating 
return on capital fell from 13.2% at 30 June 2012 to 7.1% at 30 June 2013.  The Company delivered Operating NPAT of 
$35.2 million in FY13, down from $71.1 million in FY12. 

The Australian and Indonesian businesses were both adversely impacted by the reduced activity in mining industries in 
those  markets.    Flowing  on  from  FY12,  both  businesses  started  FY13  in  a  strong  position  however  the  end  of  key 
contracts  during  the  second  quarter,  without  extension  to  new  terms,  adversely  impacted  earnings.    Off-rent  fleet 
remained  idle  for  extended  periods  through  the  second  half  due  to  low  levels  of  activity  and  a  strong  focus  on 
operating costs by customers.  Managing idle fleet is a key focus for Emeco in FY14 with the business working closely 
with customers to meet their equipment needs. 

Our  customer  mix  strategy  in  Canada  has  increased  exposure  to  oil  companies,  indigenous  contractors  and  coal 
miners, improving utilisation over the FY12/13 summer and FY13 winter periods.  The business is now supported by a 
range of high quality customers.  Investment in building our external maintenance services capability over FY13 will 
generate non-capital intensive revenue streams as we move into FY14.  

I  am  pleased  to  report  that  our  expansion  into  Chile  was  a  success  with  the  Chilean  business  contributing  positive 
returns during its first year of operation in FY13.  The team in Chile has done an exceptional job in winning work and 
demonstrating to customers that Emeco can add value to their operations.  

CONTINUING TO BUILD ON OUR SUCCESSES 

Having  successfully  completed  our  expansion  into  Chile,  the  business  is  concentrating  on  identifying  markets  with 
strong long term growth potential.  Our goal of diversifying the earnings base across  geographies and  commodities 
will focus on developing mining industries in areas including, but not limited to, the broader Latin America region.  

Our expansion into Chile was founded on developing our strong relationship with local contractors and major mining 
companies who know the benefits of the Emeco offering.  Our high quality assets and strong maintenance support is 
valued by customers globally, providing us a strong brand on which to build our diversification strategy.  

This  strategic  initiative  is  enhanced  by  the  appointment  of  Ian  Testrow,  formerly  President  of  Emeco’s  Americas 
business, to the Position of President, New and Developing Businesses.  

POSITIONING THE BUSINESS FOR FUTURE RECOVERY 

Global utilisation has declined significantly over FY13 averaging 66%, down from an FY12 average of 86%. Essential to 
the recovery of our business  is a targeted approach to idle fleet management with Emeco assessing all  avenues to 
return  value  from  assets.  Over  FY13  the  business  realised  value  from  identifying  equipment  redeployment 
opportunities with our existing operations transferring $37.8 million to Chile and releasing capital via asset disposals 
of $49.8 million.  Moving into FY14 Emeco continues to consider opportunities to redeploy idle fleet with this the first 
consideration  when  entering  new  markets.  In  addition,  the  Company  is  collaborating  with  customers  by  offering  a 
range of rental and sales solutions which fit their business strategy and equipment needs.   

An ongoing feature of the Emeco business is our disciplined approach to cash flow and capital management. During 
FY13 Emeco further strengthened its balance sheet by refinancing its senior debt facility thereby increasing average 
debt maturity profile to 4.9 years. Given the challenging environment in which Emeco currently operates it is critical 
for the business to focus on cash flow and reducing debt levels.

All reconciling items relating to FY13 Operating Results are discussed in further detail later in the Operating and Financial Review. 
FY12 Operating Results (non-IFRS) excludes an expense of $1.2 million, impacting EBITDA, EBIT and NPAT in the Australian business segment,

systems review which has now been rectified. Also excluded from the FY12 Operating NPAT is the loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 
million. 

MARKET SHIFTS IMPACTING OPERATING AND FINANICAL PERFORMANCE 

Following a strong financial performance in FY12, the last twelve months has seen a change in Emeco’s key markets 
which  has  adversely  impacted  earnings  and  returns.    Non-renewal  of  several  significant  contracts  in  Australia  and 
contract terminations in Indonesia during FY13 resulted in average global utilisation falling to 67%, down from 86% in 
FY12 (see chart below). Underlying this trend was a rapid decline in utilisation across Australia and Indonesia in early 
2H13  which  was  partially  offset  by  strong  performance  in  Canada  and  the  successful  expansion  into  Chile,  which 
contributed positive earnings in its first year of operation.

Maintenance  revenue  was  down  17.3%  to  $412.2  million  (2012:  $498.5m)  due  to  a  general  reduction  in  industry 
activity and customers focusing on reducing operating costs resulting in lower utilisation and pricing in Australia and 
Indonesia.  Sales and Parts revenue also reduced by 58.7% to $27.5 million (2012: $66.7m) as the Group downsized 
these businesses in line with previous announcements regarding its strategy.

respectively.  Margins  were  impacted  in  FY13  through  a  combination  of  lower  rental  rates,  and  the  impact  of  fixed 
overheads and idle fleet depreciation expense being applied across less utilised fleet with a corresponding reduced 
revenue base. 

Operating  return  on  capital  (ROC)  declined  to  7.1%  in  FY13,  down  from  13.2%  in  FY12  primarily  through  lower 
utilisation of the rental fleet.

FY13  operating  expenses  declined  13.2%  to  $264.3  million  from  $304.6  million  in  FY12.    The  decline  in  operating 
expenses was driven by reduced utilisation and cost saving initiatives across the business.  Repairs and maintenance 
expense,  which  primarily  comprises  parts  and  maintenance  labour,  was  down  21.2%  in  line  with  lower  Rental  and 
Maintenance  Revenue.  As  a  result,  the  Group  reduced  parts  purchasing  and  scaled  down  the  maintenance  labour 
workforce in Australia and Indonesia. Redundancies were initiated in both maintenance and support roles in Australia 
and Indonesia resulting in one-off costs totalling $1.7 million.  As the majority of redundancies were made during the 
second half of FY13 the full impact of costs savings will not be realised until FY14. 

Net other expenses increased 93.9% to $57.2 million in FY13. The increase is primarily attributable to doubtful debt 
expense of $13.1  million and impairment of tangible assets totalling  $12.1 million.  Excluding these two items, net 
other expenses decreased 16.9% in  FY13. Refer to note 8  in the financial  statements for further breakdown of net 
other expenses (page 106). 

Depreciation as a percentage of rental and maintenance services revenue remained flat at 27.3% in FY13. Although 
depreciation  reduces  in  line  with  utilisation,  Emeco  continues  to  recognise  minimum  depreciation  per  month  on 
equipment which has been idle for a period greater than 3 months. Given the rapid decline in utilisation in late 1H13, 
margins were adversely impacted in 2H13 by the additional depreciation expense with no corresponding revenue.  

Changes  in  machinery  and  parts  inventory  was  down  58.0%  which  totalled  $29.0  million  in  FY13  as  a  result  of  the 
strategic decision in FY10 to wind down the Used Equipment Sales and Used Parts businesses over time.

Inventories  were  written  down  by  $8.7  million  in  FY13  (FY12:  $2.8  million)  to  reflect  net  realisable  value  (NRV), 
comprising the following:  

• 

• 

• 

$6.7  million  –  as  part  of  the  strategy  to  finalise  the  exit  from  the  Australia  Used  Parts  business,  remaining 
inventory was impaired to reflect a rapid disposal plan; 
$1.2  million  –  the  residual  inventory  remaining  in  the  Australia  Used  Equipment  Sales  business,  comprising  a 
small number of non-core construction sized equipment which were impaired to reflect an expedient disposal; 
$0.8 million -  Represents stock write-downs on tyres and  rental parts inventory transferred out of fixed assets 
and into inventory during FY13 that were subsequently sold. 

Impairment loss on property, plant and equipment relates to: 

• 

Emeco is undertaking a sale and leaseback of a major workshop facility.  Based on indicative market valuations, 
the property has been impaired by $3.0 million, representing a reduction in written down value to market value; 

•  Rental machine impairments of $0.4 million related to the sale of rental assets at market value. 

Based on the Group’s annual impairment testing, the Indonesian business segment goodwill of $17.8 million was fully 
impaired  at  30  June  2013.  The  goodwill  impairment  was  the  result  of  a  sharp  decline  in  earnings  over  the  past  12 
months and uncertainty reflected in the expected recovery of future business performance. Refer to note 21 in the 
accompanying financial statements for additional information.

Operating  cash  flow  was  down  22.9%  to  $173.8  million  in  FY13  largely  due  to  lower  EBITDA  as  a  result  of  lower 
utilisation and rental rates.

During  1H13  Emeco  continued  to  invest  in  establishing  the  Chilean  business  and  completed  previously  committed 
plans for sustaining capital expenditure across the business.  In response to a rapid contraction in market activity mid-
way  through  the  year  in  Australia  and  Indonesia,  the  business  ceased  growth  capital  expenditure  and  reduced 
sustaining  capital  expenditure  to  the  minimum  required  for  maintaining  operating  fleet  during  the  second  half.  
Emeco  intends  to  maintain  minimum  capital  expenditure  levels  in  FY14  given  ongoing  low  utilisation  levels  in 
Australia and Indonesia.  

Cash flows from asset disposals totalled $49.8 million in FY13, which included the sale of one equipment package for 
$23.0 million to a large mining customer in Australia.  Emeco provided the customer an alternative which involved 
purchasing  high  quality  early  life  assets  rather  than  higher  priced  new  equipment.    This  is  an  example  of  Emeco 
tailoring  a  solution  for  a  customer  which  realised  value  from  our  idle  assets.    Emeco  continues  to  assess  other 
opportunities  where  we  can  provide  customers  with  an  alternative  solution  which  may  not  have  been  previously 
considered.  

The  combination  of  strong  underlying  operating  cash  flows  and  the  highly  discretionary  nature  of  future  capital 
investment provides Emeco with flexibility to expand or contract its balance sheet and gearing in light of prevailing 
market conditions.  This flexibility is a key asset of the business and is expected to help Emeco maintain positive cash 
flows into FY14.

The Group’s net debt increased $28.3 million to $414.7 million at 30 June 2013.  The increase was a combination of a 
$19.0  million  increase  from  the  translation  impact  of  the  recent  AUD  devaluation  on  net  debt  (AUD:USD  reduced 
from $1.017 at 30 June 2012 to $0.927 at 30 June 2013, source: Westpac) and a $9.3 million increase in underlying 
debt on a cash basis.  Following a period of investment in FY12 and early FY13, net debt peaked at $455.1 million in 
December 2012 before reducing significantly over 2H13 due to a reduction in capital expenditure and working capital 
release.    

In response to exchange rate movements, the Group rebalanced its currency mix of debt by reducing Canadian and 
US  dollar  debt  and  increasing  Australian  dollar  debt,  thereby  reducing  Emeco’s  exposure  to  foreign  currency 
translation  risk  of  the  Group  debt.    As  at  30  June  2013  Emeco’s  foreign  currency  denominated  debt  balance 
comprised C$83 million and US$155 million (FY12: C$216 million, US$155 million). 

Emeco refinanced its senior secured syndicated loan facility on 28 September 2012.  Retaining a $450 million limit, 
the debt facility comprises a three year $200 million, a four year $125 million and a five year $125 million revolving 
multi-currency facility of AUD, USD and CAD.

Note: Dividend payout ratio is measured as dividends paid as a percentage of Operating NPAT.  

The Board declared and paid a 2.5c interim dividend, fully franked and declared a nil final dividend for FY13.  Total 
FY13 dividends of 2.5c represent a payout ratio of 42% (2012: 53%), which is in line with Emeco’s policy to distribute 
between 40 – 60% of annual Operating NPAT, franked to the fullest extent possible.  

As  part  of  its  overall  capital  management  strategy,  the  Company  completed  a  5%  share  buyback  during  1H13  at 
average price of 53.4c per share. 

The Board’s decision not to pay a final dividend for FY13 was driven by a combination of the current external market 
conditions, the  Group’s focus on maintaining a  strong  financial position and the level of shareholder  returns  made 
during FY13. 

TARGETED STRATEGIES TO BUILD FOR FUTURE GROWTH 

As outlined in the Managing Director’s Report, Emeco’s strategic focus over the next twelve months will be to work 
closely  with  customers  in  our  existing  markets  to  deliver  innovative  and  competitive  equipment  solutions  while 
seeking to establish a presence in new international markets, which will provide an opportunity to redeploy idle fleet 
and  provide  growth  over  the  medium  term.      At  the  same  time,  the  Company  will  focus  on  maintaining  financial 
discipline in managing the cash flow and balance sheet of the business.  Further detail on Emeco’s strategy is included 
in the Regional Business Overview starting on the following page.

Main markets 

Operating  across  Western  Australia,  Queensland,  New  South  Wales  and  South  Australia,  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.    Rental 
revenue commodity mix is weighted toward thermal coal (34%), iron ore (11%), metallurgical coal (19%) and metals 
(30%).   

FY13 Performance 

FY13 revenue was down 34.3% on the prior year due to a combination of falling utilisation and price reductions across 
the fleet.  Falling commodity prices and a focus on operating costs has given rise to reviews of future operating plans 
by mining companies, which impacted short term earthmoving volumes at existing projects and limited new enquiries 
for equipment rental. 

The  changing  market  dynamics  lead  global  miners  to  shift  focus  toward  controlling  costs  and  improving  capital 
efficiency.  As a result, Emeco has experienced downward pressure on pricing for equipment, which together with the 
impact  of  fixed  costs  over  lower  revenue  has  reduced  FY13  EBITDA  margins  to  48.3%  (FY12:  56.2%).  EBIT  margins 
were also down to 20.7% (FY12: 30.1%) due to continued depreciation on idle fleet.

FY14 Focus Affecting Future Performance 

In FY14 Emeco Australia is focussed on maintaining market share through innovative and competitive solutions that 
meet  its  customers’  objectives.    As  part  of  the  objective  to  deliver  cost  effective  solutions  for  its  customers,  the 
business will focus on cost and productivity improvements within the business. 

Given  current  utilisation  levels,  sustaining  capital  expenditure  will  be  limited  to  major  component  replacements 
whereas replacement of assets which reach end of life will be curtailed until the outlook improves.  The business will 
also work with other Emeco businesses to identify fleet redeployment opportunities or where appropriate, dispose of 
assets opportunistically.  

Medium Term Outlook 

Future  demand  for  equipment  in  the  Australian  mining  market  will  be  primarily  driven  by  growth  in  earthmoving 
volumes.  The outlook for volume growth remains unclear as a result of volatility in commodity prices and exchange 
rates.    The  current  oversupply  of  equipment  in  the  Australian  market  could  result  in  continued  pressure  on  rental 
rates until such time as the demand/supply dynamic for heavy equipment rebalances.

Main Markets 

The Canadian business is strategically located in the Alberta region to service oil sands and coal projects in Western 
Canada.    The  business  primarily  supplies  rental  equipment  and  external  maintenance  services  to  oil  majors, 
indigenous  and  non-indigenous  contractors,  and  coal  miners.  Rental  revenue  composition  in  FY13  was  heavily 
weighted toward oil sands (83%) with the remainder derived from thermal coal.  

FY13 Performance 

Revenue  increased  40.2%  in  FY13  with  strong  utilisation  across  the  first  three  quarters  of  the  year  driven  by  an 
increase in direct supply to oil majors, diversification into coal and the full year benefit from fleet investment in FY12.   
FY13  revenue  was  also  positively  impacted  by  growth  in  external  maintenance  revenue  to  $3.3  million  (FY12:  $1.0 
million).   

EBITDA  margin  fell  to  49.3%  in  FY13  (FY12:  53.4%)  due  to  the  larger  contribution  from  lower  margin  external 
maintenance services, and increased cross-hire of non-core equipment to customers which returns a low margin but 
is  essential  to  delivering  a  complete  solution.      Despite  an  adverse  impact  on  EBITDA  margins,  these  additional 
revenue streams do not incur depreciation, resulting in a higher EBIT margin in FY13 of 24.8% (FY12: 24.1%).

FY14 Focus Affecting Future Performance 

The business will continue to build on its direct supply relationships with the oil majors with the primary objective to 
be the preferred rental equipment supplier.  Recent award of external maintenance services contracts with oil sands 
producers will provide a platform to further grow this revenue stream in FY14 and provide further equipment rental 
opportunities.   We continue to assess opportunities for work outside the oil sands to reduce revenue seasonality in 
this business. 

The  Canadian fleet is  currently holding higher than optimal unit numbers in  certain  classes.  Over FY14 Emeco  will 
assess opportunities to divest or transfer these assets to other regions. 

Medium Term Outlook 

Embodied in the Canada oil sands industry is the seasonal nature of earth works over a year. While this limits visibility 
on  future  activity,  the  installed  production  capacity  in  long  life  oil  sands  projects  underpins  significant  base  load 
volumes over the medium term.

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 thermal coal and gold mines.  

FY13 Performance 

The  business  achieved  strong  utilisation  during  1H13  however  2H13  utilisation  was  heavily  impacted  by  the  broad 
based downturn in activity in the Indonesian thermal coal industry and the loss of two major rental contracts.  Delays 
in  approvals  for  key  projects  and  lower  commodity  prices  impacted  activity  particularly  in  thermal  coal  where 
overburden activity was significantly curtailed.  

Midway through FY13 activity halted at two significant customers’ operations, one due to non-payment of invoices 
and  the  other  due  to  an  early  contract  termination,  which  Emeco  is  currently  disputing.  These  two  contract  losses 
adversely impacted utilisation by approximately 40%.  Negotiations are continuing  with both parties to resolve the 
respective matters.  

Notwithstanding lower utilisation during the second half, a larger asset base and higher average utilisation across the 
12 months delivered a 43.0% improvement in EBIT on FY12, however ROFE was slightly lower at 11.4% (2012: 12.8%).

The  business  continues  to  receive  customer  enquiries  on  rental  for  new  and  developing  mining  projects  across 
various commodities.  However the recent loss of its major customer, PT Indo Muro Kencana, has placed significant 
financial pressure on the business.  As a result the business will immediately focus on reducing its cost base while it 
reassesses the business development opportunities in this market. 

Medium Term Outlook 

In light of the recent developments in the Indonesian business, the Company is reviewing the various options for the 
ongoing management and operation of this business.

Main Markets 

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

FY13 Performance 

Emeco’s expansion into Chile has been a success with approximately $100 million now invested in this business and 
achieving average utilisation of 86% over FY13.  Approximately $40 million of Chile’s fleet was redeployed from other 
Emeco businesses, demonstrating the value of market diversification.  Chile contributed $6.4 million of EBIT in FY13 at 
a 36.8% margin (EBITDA: 63.8%). 

FY14 Focus Affecting Future Performance 

The strategy for FY14 is to continue building alliances with contractors and increase direct supply to the major miners.  
As  part  of  growing  the  customer  base  the  Chilean  team  will  be  looking  to  source  equipment  internally  from  other 
Emeco businesses to optimise Group utilisation.  Having deliberately entered the market with low overhead cost to 
reduce risk, with a solid revenue base the business will now focus on establishing a strong maintenance capability to 
support its customers.  

Medium Term Outlook 

The  Chilean  mining industry  maintains a  strong cost curve position  which is expected  to underpin activity over the 
medium term.  The recent announcement of expansions in the copper sector in Chile should deliver ongoing growth 
in earthmoving volumes over the medium term, however this is subject to broader global economic conditions.  On 
the basis that volumes continue to grow in this market, Emeco is well positioned to maintain and grow earnings in 
this business in the medium term.

IMPROVED SUSTAINABILITY 

This is the third Sustainability Report produced by Emeco and the third data capture and reporting process we have 
been through to measure the sustainability of our global operations.  

In FY13, there has been a notable shift at the local and regional level in relation to our performance in the areas of 
safety, people, community and environment. We still have work to do in each of these areas and, in keeping with our 
value of Continuous Improvement, we continue to  look for ways to  improve the sustainability of our business.  This 
Sustainability Report demonstrates that as our business evolves, so too do our behaviours and performance in relation 
to operating as a responsible business for our stakeholders. 

CONSISTENT AND REGULAR REPORTING 

Our  2013  Sustainability  Report  has  once  again  been  developed  using  the  Global  Reporting  Initiative  (GRI)  G3 
Framework and the principles of materiality and completeness to determine the information that should be included 
in this Report.  

This  Report  is  self-declared  as  a  C  level  report  in  accordance  with  the  GRI  G3  Guidelines  and  details  information 
relating to our performance in the areas of safety, people, community and environment for the FY13 period.  

We  have  also  set  our  performance  targets  for  the  year  ahead  (see  table  13)  and  will  continue  to  provide  our 
stakeholders  with  relevant  and  meaningful  information  regarding  the  performance  of  our  global  operations  from  a 
sustainability perspective.  

To this end, a major highlight for the year has been the development of a new monthly sustainability reporting tool for 
the Emeco Board. We have improved upon the monthly Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) report template of the 
past to capture our safety, people, community and environmental data in a more structured format which is closely 
aligned to our Annual Sustainability Report. We believe that this proactive management of our sustainability issues 
and greater sharing of regional information will help us achieve our objective of ongoing continuous improvement. 
The new tool will also streamline our annual reporting by collecting relevant data on a regular basis throughout the 
year.

OUR STAKEHOLDERS 

In FY13, we have identified our key stakeholder groups (see table 14), the ways in which we engage with each and the 
key topics and concerns of our different stakeholders in relation to their dealings with Emeco.  

In  future  years,  this  will  assist  us  in  better  identifying  the  matters  that  are  material  to  Emeco  from  a  sustainability 
perspective  as  well  as  the  relevant  GRI  indicators  for  a  particular  period.  In  some  cases  this  will  also  help  us  to 
proactively identify our sustainability risks and opportunities.

PEOPLE 

Health and Safety 

Emeco’s Occupational Health & Safety Policy is publicly disclosed on our website at www.emecogroup.com. The Policy 
is supported by the Emeco Safety Health Environmental Management System (ESHEMS) and monthly reporting to the 
Executive Leadership Team and the Board.  

In FY13 we established a global HSE Forum which is dedicated to the sharing of HSE information across Emeco’s four 
operating regions and ensuring consistency and continuous improvement in relation to HSE performance.   

Members  of  the  HSE  Forum  report  on  regional  HSE  performance  regularly  to  the  Board  through  the  new  monthly 
sustainability report tool (see page 18) and participate in a quarterly teleconference which allows general managers 
and senior HSE advisors from each region to compare their experiences and share learnings. 

In FY13 we enhanced our approach to behavioural-based HSE programs through the global implementation of a Safe 
Act Observation (SAO) program which involved training our Emeco leaders (from the  Executive Leadership Team to 
frontline  supervisors)  and  is  supported  by  Key  Performance  Indicators  (KPIs).  The  focus  on  safe  behaviours 
commences  each  day  for  our  operational  teams  through  behaviour-based  safety  programs  such  as  the  Positive 
Attitude  Safety  System  (PASS)  and  pre-shift  meetings.  This  is  tied  to  our  SAO  program  with  positive  feedback  and 
opportunities for improvement being communicated across our global workforce.

Improving Safety Behaviours 

Australia 

During  FY13,  we  implemented  the  following  safety  improvements  across  Emeco’s  largest  operation,  the  Australian 
business:  

•  A review of Emeco’s HSE risk management approach delivered the following:  

- 

- 

- 

Alignment of our HSE Risk Matrix with our Enterprise Risk Matrix to better integrate HSE risks into the group 
Enterprise Risk Register. 

All  risk  assessments  and  HSE  Management  Plans  (HSEMPs)  for  each  state  and  site  within  the  Australian 
business were reviewed and updated. 

To  complement  the  HSEMPs,  the  development  of  several  hundred  Safe  Work  Method  Statements  was 
prioritised, providing a step-by-step procedure for each regular task and outlining the hazards and controls 
associated with each task. 

•  An audit of contractor compliance was carried out, including a review of the type of contractor services provided. 
Strategies  and  processes  were  developed  to  improve  risk  management  in  the  areas  of  HSE,  human  resources, 
legal, commercial and procurement. Further improvements are planned for FY14.  

•  All employees and contractors now receive hazard/risk booklets containing HSE information and reporting forms 

at their induction, improving our hazard reporting process and in-field risk management tools. 

•  A  number  of  high  risk  activities  were  identified  including  tagging  and  isolations,  working  at  heights,  tyre/rim 
handling and management. Fifteen Core Risk Control Protocols are currently being developed to better manage 
safety in relation to the identified risk activities.  

• 

Following  the  incorporation  of  safety  training  into  Emeco’s  broader  training  framework,  a  new  training 
management  and  reporting  database  is  being  implemented  which  will  improve  the  management  of  HSE  and 
training information (see page 24). The new database will track all training requirements (safety or otherwise) of 
each individual Australian employee and critical HSE/Licence to Operate training of contractor personnel. 

•  Child  and  baby  first  aid  training  was  provided  free  of  charge  for  employees  and  their  family  members  at  our 

Osborne Park, Guildford, Mackay and Rutherford sites.  

In FY14, we will focus on enhancing PASS leadership by providing coaching and support to all levels of management 
within  the  Australian  business.    We  also  aim  to  better  utilise  PASS  meetings  to  address  a  number  of  other  HSE 
improvements including HSE lead indicators, SAOs, risk assessments and training.  

Canada 

In May 2013, the Canadian team also implemented a behaviour-based safety program consisting of the following: 

• 

• 

Job safety observation and management observations to recognise strong safety performance, establish two-way 
communication and to provide safety improvement opportunities for all employees. 

Take  5’s  which  engage  all  administrative  staff,  management  and  supervisors  to  stop  and  think  though  various 
tasks before commencing the activity, helping to proactively identify potential hazards.  

•  Hazard assessments: 

- 

- 

Stop  &  Think  allows  the  worker  to  verify  that  all  required  actions  have  been  thoroughly  considered  and 
addressed with before they begin a task. 
Last Minute Risk Assessment used during a task to assist in identifying any new conditions such as scope of 
work,  unexpected  events,  weather  conditions  and  additional  people.  With  every  change  in  condition, 
hazards must be identified and controls put in place. 

•  New  Worker  Mentorship  Program  ensures  that  new  employees  are  provided  with  the  necessary  knowledge, 
familiarity  and  skills  to  perform  their  job  in  a  safe  manner  and  in  accordance  with  Emeco’s  standards.  This 
program also aims to ensure that new employees have a full support system to assist them in adjusting to their 
new position and role with the Company. 

In addition, formal job hazard assessments are being created for all positions within the Canadian business. This began 
with the high safety sensitive positions (such as welders) and has been rolled out to the maintenance team.

In  FY14,  the  Canadian  business  will  review  and  continue  to  monitor  the  implementation  and  adoption  of  this  new 
behaviour-based safety approach across the region. 

Chile 

Since  the  delivery  of  our  first  fleet  in  July  2012,  the  Chilean  business  has  focussed  on  providing  a  safe  work 
environment for our employees and sub-contractors and is proud to have completed its first year of operation injury 
free. During the year the team focussed on: 

• 

• 

Translating and implementing Emeco’s global safety policy and procedures. 

Subcontractor  pre-qualification  and  the  use  of  safety  management  systems  including  JHA,  Take  5  and  daily 
meetings. 

•  Delivering pre-qualification and ongoing reporting requirements to governing bodies.  

•  Complying  with  mine  owner  regulations  and  procedures  for  both  tender  processes  and  throughout  rental 

contracts. 

Indonesia 

The knowledge and awareness of safe work practices was increased during the period through the provision of HSE 
training  for  new  and  existing  employees.  As  in  all  other  regions,  pre-work  meetings  are  now  being  held  at  the 
commencement of each work shift in Indonesia and monthly inspection programs are also being conducted at each 
site which is an improvement since prior reporting periods.

During the period, Emeco’s global Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) increased to 3.5 due to a number of lost 
time  injuries  sustained  within  our  Australian  and  Canadian  businesses.  However,  other  safety  indicators  including 
Total  Reportable  Injury  Frequency  Rate  (TRIFR)  and  Medical  Treatment  Injury  Frequency  Rate  (MTIFR)  reflected  an 
overall improvement in safety performance throughout FY13 (see table 15).  

Our Chilean and Indonesian operations recorded zero incident rates across all of our safety indicators. 

No fatalities were recorded and there were no lost days due to work-related illness.

Looking back on our safety performance over the past five years, there has been a definite improvement across the 
business.  We  expect  ongoing  improvement  as  the  new  HSE  Forum  picks  up  momentum  and  as  the  ESHEMS  and 
associated initiatives for safe systems, safe equipment and safe people are implemented. 

Case Study: AED and St John Community First Responder Program 

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in Australia with deaths from SCA being estimated in excess 
of  20,000  each  year.  SCA  occurs  when  the  electrical  system  of  the  heart  malfunctions  and  causes  irregular  heart 
rhythm  and  or  cardiac  arrest.  Victims  can  face  irreversible  damage  in  just  four  to  six  minutes  after  experiencing 
cardiac arrest. 

Automated  External  Defibrillators  (AEDs)  are  the  only  known  device  that  can  help  restore  the  heart  to  its  natural 
rhythm. AEDs are portable and virtually anyone can use an AED to save a life. Emeco provided training in advanced 
first aid and resuscitation during FY13 and installed AEDs at all Australian branch locations.  

Emeco also joined the St John Ambulance ‘Community First Responder’ Program in Western Australia which provides 
a direct link between Emeco AED locations, St John Ambulance and the triple zero (000) call centre. Our AEDs and our 
trained first aiders are available to assist in the community and can be called to provide assistance  to any SCA that 
occurs within proximity of an Emeco branches or office.  

EMPOWERED PEOPLE 

The greatest difference in the FY13 reporting period compared to prior reporting periods relates to the establishment 
of our operations in Chile. This has added further geographical and cultural diversification to our business. We remain 
focused  on  building  supportive  and  culturally  sensitive  workplaces  which  empower  Emeco  people  to  achieve  and 
which reflect the broader diversity of the communities in which we operate.

A Clear People Strategy 

Empowering Emeco people to achieve and succeed in their roles remains the ultimate goal of our Empower people 
strategy.  

Over  the  period,  employee  development  and  diversity  were  the  two  main  Empower  workstreams  focussed  on  at  a 
global level.   

Listening to Our People 

In August 2012, we conducted our third annual employee culture survey which relates to employee satisfaction over 
FY12, with the highest number of responses from Emeco people achieved to date. This survey was conducted prior to 
the implementation of a significant redundancy program in the Australian business in late 2012 and early 2013 and so 
while employee satisfaction improved again in 2012 (a 32 per cent improvement since 2010) we expect the results of 
our 2013 survey, which is currently underway, will differ significantly from the 2012 results.  

The 2012 survey results highlighted that our Emeco values are reflected in our culture through Teamwork, Continuous 
Improvement,  Accountability  and  Customer  Satisfaction.  However,  employee  feedback  also  told  us  that  in  some 
workplaces  communication  between  managers  and  employees  could  improve,  particularly  in  regards  to  work 
prioritisation.  

The Emeco Foundations of Leadership program developed in FY13 for front-line managers and supervisors is one way 
in which we will be addressing this issue (see page 25). An internal toolkit is also being developed and trialled during 
FY14 to help Emeco managers in Australia be more active and visible leaders. If successful this toolkit will be rolled out 
across all regions.  

EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT 

Performance Management 

Following  the  implementation  of  a  new  Performance  Management  Process  (PMP)  in  the  Australian  and  Canadian 
businesses  in  FY12,  Personal  Performance  Plans  (PPP)  including  objectives,  behavioural  assessments  and  training 
plans)  were  developed  for  95  per  cent  of  employees.  The  number  of  PPPs  conducted  across  the  Australian  and 
Canadian businesses fell in FY13. We are currently reviewing the reasons for this decline. The PMP was implemented 
in Indonesia and Chile for positions at supervisor level or higher in FY13. Overall, we are on track for an improvement 
in the number of PPP conversations carried out in FY14.  

Training and Development Reporting 

As a result of the downturn in resources markets during the period, particularly in Australia, opportunities to reduce 
operational costs were explored. This included a review and prioritisation of training activity. As a result, the decision 
was made to limit external training to focus on job critical HSE, licence to operate and essential technical/professional 
training.  This  also  delayed  the  implementation  of  a  consistent  on-boarding  process  for  new  employees  across  the 
Australian business, however, this has been set as a target for delivery in FY14.  

To  assist  with  our  FY13  target  of  establishing  an  “integrated  process  to  record  employee  training  and  to  report  on 
training  key  performance  indicators”,  a  new  training  management  and  reporting  database,  enabling  both  HSE  and 
broader training data management, was implemented. The new database harmonises and tracks the training Emeco 
delivers  to  all  functions  and  avoids  the  duplication  and  technical  deficiencies  associated  with  the  two  databases 
previously used.  

The development of training matrices for key maintenance and operational roles has also been incorporated into the 
database.  Implementation  of  our  enhanced  training  management  system  continues  in  FY14  and  we  plan  to  define 
core role-based training requirements for all Emeco job families of the Australian business.

Leadership Development 

The  most  significant  investment  in  training  and  development  for  the  period  was  the  implementation  of  the 
Foundations of Leadership program. 

The  rollout  of  this  program  commenced  in  Australia  and  Canada  during  the  period  and  is  designed  to  complement 
theory-based  external  courses  by  providing  Emeco’s  frontline  supervisors  and  team  leaders  with  a  practical 
experience around what successful leadership means at Emeco.  

Module  1  (Leading  the  Emeco  Business)  was  rolled  out  in  FY12.  In  FY13,  four  of  six  modules  in  the  program  were 
delivered  to  Australian  and  Canadian  front  line  supervisors  and  team  leaders.  Modules  5  and  6  are  under 
development and planned for delivery in early 2014. The aim is that the Foundations of Leadership program will be 
run at least once every two years for eligible team leaders, supervisors and leading hands. 

DIVERSITY 

In  keeping  with  the  diversity  commitments  made  in  the  2012  Sustainability  Report,  Emeco  achieved  the  following 
during the period: 

• 

• 

• 

Developed  a  gender  diversity  measurement  framework  for  the  Australian  business.  In  FY14,  we  will  start 
capturing the same information across all operating regions. 
Analysed  gender  based  results  of  our  employee  culture  survey  to  more  specifically  understand  the  views, 
experience and needs of the women in our workforce. 
Implemented initiatives from the Diversity Action Plan. 

In addition, we submitted our second report to the Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency (formerly the Equal 
Opportunity in the Workplace Agency).   

Diversity Actions 

Emeco’s  Diversity  Action  Plan  (available  at  www.emecogroup.com)  was  approved  by  the  Board  in  June  2012.  The 
following three initiatives from the Plan were implemented in FY13: 

• 

The Australian Recruitment and Selection Policy was reviewed to ensure it contained an explicit commitment to 
promote diversity in our workforce. Following the review a new Recruitment and Selection Policy and Procedure 
was implemented.  

•  A  Flexible  Workplace  Arrangements  Policy  and  Procedure  was  also  developed  in  Australia  to  assist  employees 
and  managers  in  applying  for,  assessing  the  business  viability  of,  and  responding  to  requests  for  flexible  work 
arrangements.  

•  Diversity training commenced at the executive leadership level in FY13. We have committed to develop and roll 

out relevant diversity awareness training to the broader workforces of each operating region in FY14.

Women represent 14.7 per cent of our global workforce and hold 18.6 per cent of senior management positions. The 
majority of women working at Emeco are employed in administrative and business support roles. We feel this is a fair 
representation considering the overall composition of the industry.   

Our goal for FY14 is to  increase the profile and career prospects of  women in our workplaces by implementing the 
following diversity initiatives:  

• 
• 
• 

Implement a structured and coordinated annual mentoring program for women leaders in the business. 
Identify and invest in targeted leadership development training for current and potential women leaders. 
Improve  the  way  we  profile  and  raise  awareness  of  all  high  achievers  in  the  business  through  our  internal 
communication channels with a target set for 50 per cent of all people profiled to be women.    

CASE STUDY: Building Futures for Women 

Through our working relationship with Imperial Oil in Canada, Emeco partnered with Women Building Futures (WBF) 
to empower and help provide training to women who seek careers in Canada’s heavy industrial sector. 

Like Emeco, WBF is focussed on empowerment. WBF works to empower women to succeed in non-traditional careers, 
inspire positive economic change for women and forever transform the face of industry in Canada.  

In  February  2012,  16  women  were  selected  to  participate  in  the  new  WBF  Imperial  Oil  Limited  Heavy  Equipment 
Operator Program, for which Emeco provided and maintained the heavy equipment that was used throughout the 12-
week training program.  

The students graduated on 10 May, equipped with five safety certificates and over 60 hours of seat time having spent 
three months training on articulated haul trucks, loaders, dozers and graders. 

COMMUNITY  

From  a  community  perspective,  in  FY13  the  focus  was  on  establishing  the  foundation  of  our  global  Community 
Engagement  Strategy,  recruiting  internal  community  engagement  representatives  and  establishing  supporting 
processes. 

The major achievements delivered during the period were: 

• 

• 

• 

The appointment of locally-based community engagement representatives for each state in which we operate in 
Australia, Indonesia and Canada.  
Establishing  working  relationships  and  running  activities  with  our  national  partners  in  Australia,  the  Clontarf 
Foundation and Lifeline Australia.  
Receiving positive feedback from a number of local community groups who received support from Emeco.  

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Importantly,  the  real  value  of  our  community-focussed  activities  in  FY13  came  from  the  pleasing  level  of  employee 
engagement  and  involvement.  This  suggests  that  the  structure  we  have  implemented  with  an  overarching  global 
strategy  and  approval  process,  with  application  and  activities  being  coordinated  at  a  local  level  by  Emeco’s  own 
internal community engagement representatives, really works. 

We see this as an achievement because our Community Engagement Strategy recognises that Emeco employees and 
broader stakeholders, live and work in the communities where we operate and as such, employee engagement is a 
large part of our community engagement approach. 

Throughout  the  year,  we  remained  focussed  on  partnership  and  sponsorship  activities  which  meet  the  following 
criteria:  

• 
• 
• 

Improve standards of health, wellbeing and/or education.  
Support environmental remediation and/or sustainability practices.  
Support sustainable Indigenous business operations.  

These remain our focus areas for support in FY14.  

LOCAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT 

In FY13 we continued to provide both financial and in-kind assistance to local community causes across our operating 
locations (see table 21). We also encouraged the active involvement of our employees in their local communities.

In  FY14  we  will  be  working  to  establish  greater  consistency  across  our  operating  regions  in  terms  of  the  types  of 
causes  we  support  and  to  improve  alignment  with  our  global  Community  Engagement  Strategy.    We  will  also  be 
seeking more formal feedback from the organisations and community groups that we support in FY14 to assist with 
reviewing and developing our Community Engagement Strategy going forward.

PARTNERING FOR CHANGE 

Mental Health & Wellbeing 

In Australia during FY13, Emeco established national partnerships with the Clontarf Foundation and Lifeline Australia.  

Emeco’s support of Lifeline delivers the following:  

• 
• 
• 
• 

Financial support which enables Lifeline to sustainably operate its 13 11 14 crisis support line. 
Improved access to Lifeline’s essential crisis services for the Australian public. 
Improved awareness and open communication lines with Emeco stakeholders about mental health and suicide. 
Structured, optional training for Emeco employees in Australia.  

80  per  cent  of  the  funding  provided  to  Lifeline  by  Emeco  goes  towards  employing  and  training  permanent  Lifeline 
employees to work the crisis lines between the hours of 10pm and 6am. This is the most difficult time for volunteers 
to work, yet also the time of night when Australians in need become lonely and at high risk of suicide.  

The remaining 20 per cent of funding goes towards training of Emeco  employees to better understand the issue of 
mental  health  and  suicide.  These  optional  sessions  have  been  a  huge  success  with  between  60  and  80  per  cent  of 
employees at each location where the training has been held, choosing to attend. Following the training, employees 
who choose to attend are equipped with the confidence, skills and tools they may one day need to help themselves, a 
colleague or loved one, who may be struggling with a mental health issue or contemplating suicide. 

Indigenous Engagement 

Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Strategy outlines our commitment to developing and providing 
culturally aware and welcoming Australian workplaces.  

During  FY13  in  Australia,  we  were  focused  on  developing  our  relationship  with  the  Clontarf  Foundation  (Clontarf) 
following  the  establishment  of  a  community  partnership  in  July  2012  (see  case  study  page  29).  Clontarf  exists  to 
improve the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal men. 

Through the partnership Emeco is working with Clontarf to develop career pathways for Indigenous youth and hopes 
to  provide  employment  opportunities  for  Clontarf  graduates  within  Emeco  in  the  coming  years.  In  FY13,  Emeco 
assisted Clontarf with:  

• 

• 

Facilitating an excursion for Clontarf students to Emeco’s Guildford site, providing the boys with an insight into 
the mining services industry and heavy equipment (see case study page 29). 
Exploring  opportunities  for  career  pathways  though  work  experience  at  Emeco,  for  boys  attending  Clontarf 
Academies in proximity to Emeco’s major sites. 

In  Canada,  Emeco  has  been  working  in  a  commercial  relationship  with  the  Fort  McKay  Group  of  Companies  for  a 
number of years, a company which is 100 per cent owned and controlled by the Fort McKay First Nation indigenous 
people. At the end of FY13, our Canadian business had commenced further discussions with the Fort McKay Group to 
explore the co-development of a fleet maintenance program which would assist the Group in providing equipment to 
various oil sands producers.

Case Study: Clontarf Students See Emeco First Hand 

In  early  2012,  students  from  the  Sevenoaks  Clontarf  Academy  visited  Emeco’s  Guildford  operation  in  Western 
Australia.   

After a site induction which explained the importance of safety and the safety practices which were to be followed at 
site, the Emeco team spoke with the boys about the various roles and functions required to run a business like Emeco 
and how the boys could one day have similar roles in a company. 

The boys were taken on a tour of Emeco’s workshop which gave them a chance to  see large mining equipment up 
close, as  well as a variety of tools and engines which are  used by Emeco to deliver its equipment rental services to 
customers. 

The visit concluded with a morning tea. This was a great opportunity for the boys from Clontarf to interact with Emeco 
employees from Guildford and to ask questions about some of the jobs and activities they heard about on their tour of 
the site.  

ENVIRONMENT 

Responsible Environmental Management 

Globally, we continue to work towards improving the consistency and efficiency of our environmental data collection 
and  reporting  processes.  The  new  monthly  sustainability  reporting  tool  will  not  only  assist  from  a  consistency  and 
efficiency  perspective,  we  hope  that  it  will  also  promote  the  sharing  and  adoption  of  environmental  initiatives  and 
improvements across Emeco’s operating regions.  

In  FY13,  all  major  sites  in  the  Australian  business  improved  waste  management  practices.  Following  are  some 
examples of the steps taken:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Using double-skin containers for lube storage at Carosue Dam (a maintained project site in Western Australia) to 
prevent uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons. 
Switching  to  a  single-supplier  of  oil  and  waste  oil  removal  in  Western  Australia  resulting  in  more  efficient 
management of oil usage and disposal. 
Introducing a biodegradable cleaner and a non-hydrocarbon degreaser at our Rutherford branch in New South 
Wales, reducing the use of hazardous chemicals. 
Redesigning the wash pad workshop grid at our Mackay branch in Queensland to ensure waste flows correctly 
into the waste oil area, avoiding uncontrolled releases. 
Introducing a dust suppressant at our Rutherford branch to reduce the dust flowing from our workshop to the 
surrounding area. 

Across  our  Australian  business  water  is  captured,  cleaned  and  reused  in  all  wash  bay  facilities.  Our  water  carts 
(following  repair/refurbishment)  now  use  recycled  water  from  wash  bays,  rather  than  potable  fresh  water.  Canada 
captures and uses rainwater in wash bays.  

Indonesia has begun more regular monitoring of the waste water that is released back into the environment. Waste 
water management practices have also been reviewed and a number of improvements are currently being initiated in 
the region. 

As yet, we do not however have the systems in place to reliably capture waste, water usage data or quantify water 
savings globally. We have set a target to improve our waste and water reporting approaches in FY14.  

Across the business we continue to look for ways to reduce the impacts of our vehicles while in use at customer sites. 
In Australia, as reported in FY12, we implemented Global Positioning System (GPS) units on our Caterpillar fleet and 
are still investigating the viability of similar units for other OEMI models. Testing to date has uncovered some technical 
issues,  however,  we  remain  committed  to  providing  fuel  usage  reports  to  those  customers  who  require  such 
information.

In  Canada,  Emeco  manages  excessive  idling  of  equipment,  particularly  during  the  busy  winter  period,  by  utilising 
technology which helps keep equipment ready to start.  Rental customers who are able to minimise the occurrence of 
idling equipment are positively rewarded with a discounted rental rate.   

FY13 was the first year of operation for our Chilean business and as such, they have only recently begun tracking and 
reporting environmental data which we will report on in future reporting cycles. 

No significant spills were reported by any of our operations in FY13.

Emeco provides dry hire equipment to mining companies and contractors operating in the mining industry. As such, 
emissions associated with the use of our equipment falls under the reporting responsibility of our customers. We are 
not  required  to  report  greenhouse  emissions  or  energy  usage  under  the  Australian  Government’s  National 
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting legislation or Energy Efficiency Opportunities legislation as our activities fall below 
the current reporting thresholds. Nonetheless, we track and report energy usage and GHG emissions information each 
year, for the prior financial year, through submission to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). www.cdproject.net 

Our most recent CDP submission shows that our 2012 GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2) were 7,543 tCO2e (see table 
23) which represents an increase of 17 per cent on FY11 emissions. The increase in emissions was primarily due to the 
growing fleet of the time and associated energy usage in Canada and Indonesia. 

In  an  effort  to  improve  the  accuracy  of  our  emissions  data  and  respond  more  effectively  to  increasing  trends, 
commencing in FY14 each region now reports environmental data on a regular basis, as opposed to annually, through 
our new monthly sustainability reporting tool.   

We  continue  to  look  for  opportunities  to  improve  our  environmental  performance  and  to  reduce  the  carbon  and 
energy impacts of our operations where possible. Importantly, we remain committed to working with our customers 
to mitigate environmental impacts, increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions associated with the operation our 
equipment.  

J Carbon footprint is calculated using the international best practice Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (ASX Principles and Recommendations).  

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

Principle 1 

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight  

Roles and responsibilities of the Board and management 

Board Charter 

The Company’s Board Charter, which has been adopted by the Board, sets out the functions and responsibilities of the 
Board, each Director and the Chairman. 

Under  the  Charter,  the  Board  is  accountable  to  shareholders  for  the  overall  performance  of  the  Company  and 
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,

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

Delegated Financial Authority 

Under  the  terms  of  the  Board  Charter,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  is  responsible  to  the  Board  for  the  day-to-day 
management of the Group.  The Board has formally adopted a structured Delegated Financial Authority (DFA) which 
outlines  the  specific  financial  authority  limits  delegated  to  the  Chief  Executive  Officer.    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 incurred in the day-to-day running of the business; and 

capital expenditure, being the purchase of assets for the purpose of deriving income. 

The  DFA  also  sets  levels  of  permitted  contractual  and  expenditure  commitment  delegated  by  the  Chief  Executive 
Officer to 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 Chief Executive Officer 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  Chief 
Executive Officer in July/August each year. These performance reviews provide the Chief Executive Officer and each 
senior  executive  with  the  opportunity  not  only  to  review  the  senior  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 FY13.  

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, risks and other policies and responsibilities. 

Principle 2 

Structure the Board to add value 

Skills, experience and expertise of the Directors   

With the retirement of Mr Johnston effective from 30 June 2013, the Board is currently comprised of six Directors – 
five  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,  experience  and  expertise  are  set  out  at  pages  32  to  35  of  this 
report.

Five of the six Directors are Independent Directors.  Independent Directors are expected to bring independent views 
and  judgement  to  the  Board’s  deliberations.    All  of  the  Company’s  Independent  Directors  satisfy  the  criteria  for 
independence set out in the ASX Principles and Recommendations. In considering whether a Director is independent, 
the Board has had regard to the relationships affecting his or her 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 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.  

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  his  or  her  election  or  three  years, 
whichever is the later. Further, 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 Richards will seek re-election at the 2013 
annual general meeting under these provisions.  

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.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

The Board has established the following criteria for the appointment of Non-Executive Directors of the Company: 

•  No actual or potential conflicts of interest at the time of appointment. 

•  No  prior  adverse  history,  including  bankruptcy,  conviction  for  an  offence  of  dishonesty  or  any  other  serious 

criminal conviction, ASIC or APRA disqualification. 

•  Deserved reputation for honesty, integrity and competence. 

• 

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

•  High level strategic, financial and commercial capability. 

•  Available and willing to devote the time required to meetings and Company business and a real commitment to 

the Group and its success. 

•  Able to work harmoniously with fellow Directors and management. 

• 

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 his or her 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 executives to enable it to carry out its duties.  

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

Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee, whose responsibilities include the following: 

•  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. 

•  Reviewing  the  membership  and  performance  of  other  Board  Committees  and  making  recommendations  to  the 

Board. 

The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in FY13 were Mr Brennan (Chair), Mr Cahill, and Mr 
Johnston.  Dr Smyth was also appointed to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee effective from 20 February 
2013,  however,  there  were  no  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  meetings  held  in  FY13  after  her 
appointment.  Each member’s attendance at the two meetings held by the Committee in FY13 is set out at page 36. 
The Charter of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is available on the Emeco website.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

Process for evaluating the Board, its Committees and Directors 

Generally a review of the performance of the Board is completed annually by the Chairman with the assistance of the 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee.    The  review  is  undertaken  in  accordance  with  the  Charter  of  the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee using a questionnaire, the scope of which covers the performance of the 
Board,  its  Committees,  the  Chairman  and  individual  Directors.    Directors’  questionnaire  responses  are  collated  and 
analysed  by  the  Chairman  and  then  presented  to,  and  discussed  with,  the  Board.    This  internal  review  was  not 
undertaken in FY13 because it was superseded by an external review of Emeco’s governance structures, processes and 
systems conducted by Baker & Baptist Pty Ltd.   

Baker & Baptist Pty Ltd completed its review of the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual Directors 
in  November  2012.  As  part  of  the  review,  Directors  completed  comprehensive  questionnaires  regarding  the 
performance of the Board and each member of the Board.  Interviews were conducted with each of the Directors, the 
Chief Financial Officer and the Company Secretary/General Manager Corporate Services. Each Non-Executive Director 
received an individual feedback report. 

Baker  &  Baptist  Pty  Ltd  also  reviewed  various  charters,  policies,  codes,  registers,  Board  and  Committee  papers 
including minutes, management job descriptions and  reports, annual reports and other documents available on the 
Emeco  website.  A  report  on  the  Board  and  Committee  performance,  together  with  recommendations,  prepared  by 
Baker & Baptist Pty Ltd was presented to, and discussed with, the Board.  All recommendations accepted by the Board 
have been implemented. 

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 
Group.  

The Code of Conduct 

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 Group; 

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 the Group, 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 2013 

Under the Code of Conduct, employees of the 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 of Conduct 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 of Conduct 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.  The  Company  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. 

A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on the Emeco website.

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 any 
possible  misunderstandings  or  suspicions  arising  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.   

A copy of the Share Trading Policy is available on the Emeco website. 

Diversity Policy 

The  principal  objective  of  the  Diversity  Policy  is  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 available on 
the Emeco website. 

The  Diversity  Policy  requires  the  Board  to  establish  measureable  objectives  for  achieving  gender  diversity.  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 annual measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the Board in accordance with 
the Diversity Policy and progress towards achieving them; and  

the proportion of women employees in the Group, in senior executive positions and on the Board, 

are included in the Sustainability Report at pages 18 to 30.  

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. 

During  FY13,  the  Committee  comprised  of  four  Independent  Non-Executive  Directors,  all  of  whom  have  financial 
expertise.  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 32 to 35 of this report.  

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

In FY13, the Audit and Risk Committee held five meetings.  Each Committee member’s attendance at these meetings is 
set out at page 36.  The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, 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.

Independence of the external auditor 

The Company’s external auditor is KPMG.  The effectiveness, performance and independence of the external auditor 
are  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 

Section 307C of 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 FY13.  This independence declaration forms part of the Directors’ report and is provided 
on page 69 of this annual report. 

Non-Audit Services 

During  the  year,  KPMG,  the  Company’s  auditor,  has  performed  certain  other  services  in  addition  to  the  audit  and 
review of the financial statements. 

The  Board  has  considered  the  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  by  the  auditor  and  is  satisfied  that  the 
provision of those 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 and have 
been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 
auditor; and 

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 
auditor’s 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. 

Details of the amounts paid to the Company’s auditor, KPMG, and its network firms, for audit and non-audit services 
are found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. 

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 Lead Partner responsible for Emeco for the 30 June 2009 year end audit.  After FY13, Mr Gambitta’s 
five year rotation will expire and he will be replaced as the lead audit partner.  

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.

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 has adopted a formal Communications Policy which describes the processes and systems implemented 
by  the  Company  to  facilitate  communication  between  the  Company, 
investors.  The 
Communications Policy is available on the Emeco website.   

its  shareholders  and 

The Company acknowledges the importance of effective communication with its shareholders.   

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  to  shareholders  a  number  of  options  to  receive  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.  

The Company also encourages effective shareholder participation at general meetings, which is the major forum for 
shareholders  to  ask  questions  of  the  Directors  about  the  performance  of  the  Group.    The  Company  provides  its 
auditor with notice of general meetings of the Company, as required by section 249K of the Corporations Act 2001, 
and  requests  that  its  auditor  to  attend  its  annual  general  meetings  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 which is available on the Emeco website.  

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

•  Classification of risk into strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks. 

•  Quantification and ranking of risk consequences and likelihood. 

• 

• 

Identification of strategic risk issues. 

Identification of operational risk issues through formalised regional-based risk workshops. 

•  Development of a Company database for communicating and updating activity and progress on risk matters and 

maintaining risk registers. 

• 

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. 

•  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.  

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.  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 formally reviews the 
performance of the internal auditor on an annual basis and reports its findings to the Audit and Risk Committee.  

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

In respect of FY13, 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.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

Principle 8 

Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Committee is currently comprised of four 
Independent Non-Executive Directors. Details regarding membership of the Committee are set out under Principle 2.  
Each member’s attendance at the two meetings held by the Committee in FY13 is set out at page 36. 

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 executives 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 executives of the Group from time to time 
including the criteria for assessing performance;  

diversity policy compliance and reporting; 

remuneration reviews for Executive and Non-Executive Directors; 

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

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. 

The Charter of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is available on the Emeco website.  

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,  or  retirement  benefits  other  than 
superannuation. 

A remuneration report detailing the information required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to 
FY13 is included in the Directors’ Report on pages 50 to 67.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

Nature of operations and principal activities 

The principal activity during FY13 of the Group was the provision of heavy earthmoving equipment rental solutions to 
mining companies and contractors.  

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  FY13,  is  set  out  on  pages  7  to  17  and  in  the 
accompanying financial statements. 

Dividends paid 

In relation to FY12, the Directors declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.5 cents per share which was paid on 28 
September 2012. 

During  FY13,  the  Directors  declared  a  fully  franked  interim  dividend  of  2.5  cents  per  share  which  was  paid  on  27 
March 2013. No further dividends have been declared or paid since the end of FY13. 

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  30  July  2013  Mr  Keith  Gordon  announced  his  intention  to  step  down  from  his  role  as  Managing  Director.    Mr 
Gordon will remain in his current position until a new Managing Director is appointed. 

Likely developments and expected results 

Likely developments in, and expected results of, the operations of the Emeco Group are referred to at pages 7 to 17.  
This report omits information on likely developments in the Emeco Group in future financial years and the expected 
results  of  those  operations  the  disclosure  of  which,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Directors,  would  be  likely  to  result  in 
unreasonable prejudice to the Emeco Group.

1.2 

Summary of changes to the remuneration structure 

The following changes were made to the Company’s remuneration structure: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Mr  Ian  Testrow’s  maximum  short  term  incentive  (STI)  cash  entitlement  and  long  term  incentive  (LTI) 
entitlement  increased  from  40%  to  50%  of  his  total  fixed  remuneration  (TFR).    TFR  comprises  base  salary, 
employer superannuation contributions and other allowances and non-cash benefits. 
All Executives (except for Mr Keith Gordon) became entitled to an additional STI deferred equity component, 
resulting in maximum total STI entitlements increasing to 60% of respective TFR.  
For the FY11, FY12 and FY13 LTI grants, the total shareholder return (TSR) at the end of the three year vesting 
period  (Vesting  Period)  will  be  measured  by  reference  to  the  volume  weighted  average  share  price  (VWAP) 
during the 20 trading days after the announcement of Emeco’s annual results.  Respective vesting dates of each 
grant will be deferred to the expiry of the 20 day VWAP period.  
In  respect  of  Mr  Christopher  Mossman  and  all  other  Indonesian  resident  LTI  plan  participants,  vested 
performance rights will automatically convert into shares on the vesting date. The terms of the FY11 and FY12 
LTI plans provide that vested performance rights can be converted to shares at any time within five years of the 
grant date at the participant’s election. 

See sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 for more information.   

With the exception of Mr Ian Testrow, there was no increase in any KMP fixed remuneration in FY13. Mr Testrow’s 
fixed  remuneration  increased  as  a  result  of  the  expansion  of  Mr  Testrow’s  role  as  President  Emeco  Americas  to 
include overall responsibility for, in addition to Emeco’s Canadian business, the Chilean business.

Remuneration governance 

2.1 

The Role of the Board and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The Board is committed to implementing KMP 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 KMP remuneration policies and practices.  

The  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 KMP remuneration 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 KMP; 
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 in FY13 were Mr Alec Brennan (Chair), Mr John Cahill 
and Mr Peter Johnston.  Dr Erica Smyth was also appointed to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee effective 
from  20  February  2013,  however,  there  were  no  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  meetings  held  in  FY13 
after her appointment. 

2.2 

Services from Remuneration Consultants  

The  Chairman  of  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  engaged  Guerdon  Associates  Pty  Ltd  as  a 
remuneration  consultant  to  the  Board  to  review  the  maximum  STI  entitlements  for  Executives.  Guerdon  Associates 
Pty Ltd was paid $12,403.88 for its services and provided no other services during FY13. 

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

These  arrangements  were  implemented  to  ensure  Guerdon  Associates  Pty  Ltd  would  be  able  to  carry  out  its  work, 
including information capture and the formation of recommendations, free from undue influence by KMP.  

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

Executive remuneration 

3.1 

Remuneration policy 

The  Group  remuneration  policy  is  substantially  reflected  in  the  objectives  of  the  Company’s  Remuneration  and 
Nomination Committee.  The Committee’s objectives are summarised in the following table:  

Table 30:  Summary of Group remuneration objectives 

Objective 

Practices aligned with Objective 

Remunerate fairly and 
appropriately 

Maintain  balance  between  the  interests  of  shareholders  and  the  reward  of 
Executives in order to secure the long term benefits of Executive energy and loyalty.  

Benchmark remuneration structures to ensure alignment with industry trends. 

Align Executive interests 
with those of shareholders 

Provide a significant proportion of “at risk” remuneration to ensure that Executive 
reward is directly linked to the creation of shareholder value. 

Ensure  human  resources  policies  and  practices  are  consistent  and  complementary 
to the strategic direction of the Company. 

Prohibit  the  hedging  of  unvested  equity  to  ensure  alignment  with  shareholder 
outcomes. 

Attract, retain and develop 
proven performers 

Provide  total  remuneration  which  is  sufficient  to  attract  and  retain  proven  and 
experienced Executives who are capable of: 

fulfilling their respective roles with the Group; 
achieving the Group’s strategic objectives; and 

• 
• 
•  maximising Group earnings and returns to shareholders.  

The  remuneration  structure  for  the  Company’s  Executives  consists  of  fixed  and  variable  components.  The  variable 
component ensures that a proportion of pay varies with Company and personal performance.  

3.2 

Fixed remuneration 

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

Each Executive’s  fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually in September. In FY13, this process did 
not result in any change in any Executive’s fixed remuneration.   

However, Mr Ian Testrow’s fixed remuneration increased in FY13 as a result of the expansion of Mr Testrow’s role as 
President Emeco Americas to include overall responsibility for, in addition to Emeco’s Canadian business, the Chilean 
business.  

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

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

Fixed  remuneration  for  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  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.  

STI entitlements are for performance assessed over one year. See section 3.3.1 for more information.   

LTI entitlements are for performance over a three year period. See section 3.3.2 for more information.   

If  maximum  performance  is  achieved,  the  maximum  remuneration  attributable  to  each  incentive  component  (as  a 
percentage of TFR) for each Executive is shown in the following table:

Directors’ Report

3.3.1 

 STI remuneration 

Cash and Equity 
STIs are used to reward the performance of Executives over a full financial year. The actual amount of STI granted is 
determined at the end of the financial year in light of the Executive’s performance against agreed key performance 
indicators (KPIs).  An Executive’s maximum STI entitlement is set as a percentage of TFR (refer to table 31 above for 
details).   

In  respect  of  FY13,  STI  entitlements  are  made  in  cash  up  to  the  maximum  STI  cash  component  (refer  to  table  31 
above)  after  the  financial  year  audit  is  completed  and  following  review  and  approval  by  the  Remuneration  and 
Nomination Committee and the Board.  

Any STI entitlements above the maximum STI cash component are made to Executives in equity. The number of shares 
issued to each Executive is based on the Company’s June 2013 VWAP.  However, the grant of the shares are deferred 
to,  and  is  subject  to  the  Executive  remaining  employed  by  the  Group,  the  day  after  the  announcement  of  Emeco’s 
annual results in 2014. 

Key performance indicators 

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. 

The financial KPIs for the FY13 STI plan are: 

• 
• 

Budgeted Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) – This profit figure quantifies the Company’s financial performance. 
Budgeted Return on Capital (ROC) – This ratio indicates the efficiency and profitability of the Company's capital 
investments and is a good measure of the quality of the Company’s financial performance. 

The non-financial KPIs for the FY13 STI plan are: 

• 

• 

• 

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 plan KPIs for 
Executives.  The  primary  metrics  include  total  recordable  injury  frequency  rates  (TRFIR)  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, and participation in, behavioural 
based safety programs. 

Business Improvement Initiatives – The Board wants to ensure that effective risk management frameworks and 
internal controls are in place to protect the Company's assets and shareholder value and to improve efficiency 
and profitability by streamlining operational and business processes. Implementation of business improvement 
initiatives is included in the STI plan to reflect its importance to Emeco’s performance.  

Personal  Goals  –  The  Board  recognises  each  Executive  contributes  to  the  Company’s  business  strategy 
differently. Progress of each Executive’s personal set goals is monitored by the Board and is included in the STI 
plan to ensure that an appropriate balance is  maintained  between the  Company’s  short term and long term 
objectives.

Changes from Prior Period 

The FY13 STI grant to Executives includes the following changes:  

• 

• 

Following the expansion of Mr Ian Testrow’s role as President Emeco Americas to include overall responsibility 
for,  in  addition  to  Emeco’s  Canadian  business,  the  Chilean  business,  Mr  Testrow’s  maximum  STI  entitlement 
increased from 40% to 50% of TFR. 
Following  a  review  of  the  Company’s  STI  plan  and  advice  from  Guerdon  Associates  Pty  Ltd,  the  Company 
introduced  the  additional  STI  deferred  equity  component.  Notwithstanding  this  change  to  the  STI  plan,  the 
actual STI outcomes for Executives in FY13 are significantly less than the outcomes for FY12. See section 5.2 for 
more information.

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 Vesting Period. The LTI plan applies to the Company’s senior managers (which includes Executives). 

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.  

LTI remuneration is in the form of performance shares or performance rights (LTI Securities).  

A performance share is a fully paid ordinary Emeco share, the vesting of which is subject to the performance condition 
described below being met.  A performance right is a right to receive a fully paid ordinary Emeco share, the vesting of 
which is subject to the performance condition being met. 

Australian-based executives 

In FY13, performance shares were granted to Australian-based Executives, with the number of shares granted being 
determined  by  reference  to  the  Executive’s  maximum  LTI  entitlement  and  the  fair  value  of  the  share  as  at  the 
commencement of the Vesting Period. Performance shares were granted at no cost to the Executive.  

Executives based outside Australia 

In  FY13,  Emeco  Executives  who  were  resident  outside  Australia  were  issued  performance  rights  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.  These grants were on substantially identical terms to that of the performance shares 
issued to Australian-based Executives.  

Performance condition  

The performance condition for the vesting of LTI Securities under the FY13 LTI plan (and the FY12 and FY11 LTI plans) 
is based on the relative TSR of the Company measured against a peer group (Peer Group) over the Vesting Period. 

TSR  is  a  performance  measure  that  calculates  the  return  to  a  shareholder  taking  into  account  share  price  growth, 
dividend payments and capital returns. 

At  the  time  of  the  FY13  LTI  grant,  the  Peer  Group  comprised  a  total  of  94  companies  from  the  S&P/ASX  Small 
investment  property 
Industrials 
trusts/companies and other stapled securities), including 18 companies that were considered direct peers to Emeco. 

insurance  companies,  property 

trusts/companies  and 

(excluding  banks, 

At the end of the Vesting Period, the TSR for each company in the Peer Group, including Emeco, will be measured and 
ranked.  Emeco will be allocated a percentile rank accordingly, which represents the percentage of companies in the 
Peer Group that has a lower TSR than Emeco (Percentile Rank).

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

LTI  Securities  will  only  vest  if  a  certain  Percentile  Rank  is  achieved  by  Emeco.  There  is  a  maximum  and  minimum 
vesting range and vesting occurs in this range on a sliding scale as set out in the following table:

LTI  Securities  that  do  not  vest  at  the  end  of  the  Vesting  Period  will  lapse.    The  shares  associated  with  these  LTI 
Securities will be transferred to a nominee of the Company and held on trust for subsequent re-allocation.  

Performance shares which vest will automatically be transferred into the name of the participant. Performance rights 
which  vest  will  automatically  be  converted  into  shares  on  the  vesting  date  and  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 retirement 
then the TSR of the Executive’s 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  vesting  schedule.  The  actual  amount  of  LTI 
Securities that vest will be pro-rated based on the period that the Executive has been employed with Emeco during 
the Vesting Period. 

All unvested LTI Securities lapse if an Executive resigns or is terminated for cause.  

Prohibition of hedging LTI securities  

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

Changes from Prior Period 

The FY13 LTI grant to Executives includes the following changes:  

• 

• 

• 

Dividends  and  shadow  dividends  in  respect  of  Performance  Shares  and  Performance  Rights  respectively  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.  This was outlined in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report. 
If there is an absolute change in control of the Company, unvested LTI Securities will automatically vest only if 
the  performance  condition  has  been  met  at  the  date  of  the  change  of  control,  provided  that  the  Board  will 
retain discretion to vest a greater amount. This was outlined in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report. 
Following the expansion of Mr Ian Testrow’s role as President Emeco Americas to include overall responsibility 
for,  in  addition  to  Emeco’s  Canadian  business,  the  Chilean  business,  Mr  Testrow’s  maximum  LTI  entitlement 
increased from 40% to 50% of TFR.

• 

In  respect  of  Mr  Christopher  Mossman  (and  all  other  Indonesian  resident  LTI  plan  participants),  vested 
performance rights will automatically convert into shares on the vesting date. The terms of the FY11 and FY12 
LTI plans provide that vested performance rights can be converted to shares at any time within five years of the 
grant  date  at  the  participant’s  election.  The  reason  for  the  change  relates  to  the  operation  of  Indonesian 
taxation laws.   
The total shareholder return at the end of the Vesting Period will now be measured by reference to the VWAP 
during  the  20  trading  days  (increased  from  ten  trading  days)  after  the  announcement  of  Emeco’s  annual 
results.    This  change  has  been  made  to  the  FY11,  FY12  and  FY13  LTI  plans  in  light  of  the  high  volatility  of 
Emeco’s  share  price  as  the  longer  VWAP  period  reduces  the  likelihood  of  anomalous  TSR  outcomes.    The 
extension of the VWAP period results in the deferral of the vesting date for each grant by two weeks.  

3.4 

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance 

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

This has been achieved by ensuring that a significant proportion of Executives’ remuneration is “at risk” in the form of 
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  Executives  are  rewarded  for  robust 
earnings performance and the achievement of key strategic objectives.  

Details of the KPIs for the FY13 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.  

The  extent  to  which  Emeco  has  set  financial  KPIs  which  are  genuinely  challenging  -  and  which  entail  that  STI 
entitlements are genuinely at risk - is highlighted by the fact that only two Executives received a STI payment in FY09 
and  no  Executive  received  a  STI  payment  in  FY10.  In  FY11  all  Executives  received  a  STI  payment  in  line  with  the 
improved performance of the Group and the successful execution of its strategy.  STI payments to Executives in FY12 
decreased from the amounts paid in FY11, with a further decrease in FY13, principally because FY12 and FY13 financial 
KPIs were not met to the same extent as they were in FY11.  Details of these KPIs are set out above in section 3.1.1.

The primary focus of the Company is to increase its return on capital to levels acceptable to shareholders.  After two 
consecutive years of significant improvement in FY 11 and FY12, statutory return on capital employed decreased from 
13.0% to 4.2% in FY13.  Similarly, statutory profit decreased from the five year record high in FY12 by 91.4% in FY13 to 
$6.0 million. 

As noted above, the STI entitlements of Emeco’s Executives significantly increased in FY11 and FY12 compared with 
FY09 and FY10 in line with the improved performance of the Company.  However, the recent decline in the Company’s 
financial performance has resulted in a significant reduction in STI entitlements in FY13. 

The  Company’s  share  price  declined  significantly  in  FY09  and  FY10  before  increasing  nearly  100%  from  58  cents  at 
close of trading on 30 June 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. In FY13, continued 
macroeconomic  uncertainty,  a  downturn  in  the  resources  sector  globally,  difficult  trading  conditions  in  Emeco’s 
markets and a resultant decline in the Company’s earnings saw the Company’s share price close at 28 cents on 30 June 
2013.   

The  Company’s  dividend  policy  (which  was  amended  in  FY12)  is  to  pay  shareholders  between  40%  and  60%  of  the 
Company’s profit, franked to the fullest extent possible.  The Board has decided not to declare a dividend for the half 
year ended 30 June 2013.  The total dividend in respect of FY13 is, therefore, 2.5 cents per share.   

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  return  on  capital.  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. 

Non-executive director fees are reviewed and benchmarked annually in September. In FY13, this process did not result 
in any change in non-executive director fees.   

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 skillsets 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.  All other non-executive directors receive an annual base fee of 
$113,027. An additional annual fee of $8,477 is paid to a director who is a member of a Board Committee.  This fee is 
increased  to  $11,303  for  a  director  who  chairs  a  Committee.  All  amounts  specified  in  this  section  are  inclusive  of 
superannuation contributions.

The minimum value of each grant is zero. 
For  LTI  Securities  granted  in  FY11,  FY12  and  FY13  the  earliest  vesting  date  is  the  twentieth  trading  day  after  the  announcement  of  the 
Company’s annual results in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively.   
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 KMP remuneration table (table 36) is the portion 
of the fair value of the LIT Securities recognised in FY13. 
The number of performance shares granted to Mr Keith Gordon (and all Executives except for Mr Grant Stubbs) in respect of the FY13 LTI 
grant was determined by reference to the fair value of $0.46 per share as at 18 September 2012, being the commencement of the Vesting 
Period. 
Mr  Christopher  Mossman  ceased  employment  with  Emeco  on  31  May  2013.  Accordingly,  all  unvested  LTI  Securities  granted  to  Mr 
Mossman were forfeited in accordance with the terms of the respective grants. 
Mr Grant Stubbs commenced his role as KMP on 1 May 2013, after the FY13 grant date.  The number of performance shares granted to Mr 
Stubbs in respect of the FY13 LTI grant was $0.56 per share, which was the value of the performance shares issued to non-KMP.

6.1.2  Management Incentive Share Plan  

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 KMP.  

MISP Terms and Conditions 

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 five year period as set out in the following table: 

Table 40:  TSR Vesting Schedule

If a MISP participant ceases employment with the Group before all of the MISP shares vest on the fifth anniversary of 
the issue date, the Company is required to buy back, cancel or transfer to a nominee of the Board all of the shares for 
a purchase price which is subject to the Company setting off the Loan amount outstanding in respect of the shares. In 
relation  to  the  unvested  shares,  the  purchase  price  is  the  Loan  amount  outstanding  in  respect  of  these  shares.  In 
relation to the vested shares, the purchase price is the market value of these 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, being 1 July 2015. 

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  and  the 
inclusion  of  time  based  vesting  conditions  in  the  terms  of  issue  were  intended  to  provide  participants  with  an 
incentive to remain with the  Group. That is, the terms upon which the shares  were issued to the participants were 
intended to operate as a retention incentive arrangement rather than a performance incentive arrangement.

Emeco’s Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) is an elective plan which is open to all Australian employees. During 
FY13 several Executives participated in the ESOP.  

Details of the shares purchased on their behalf and the matching shares allocated to them under the ESOP are set out

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 
employed  with  Emeco  for  one  year  after  the  end  of  the  calendar  year  in  which  the  matching  shares  are  acquired 
(Restriction  Period).    If  an  employee  leaves  the  Company  before  the  expiry  of  the  Restriction  Period,  the  matching 
shares are forfeited.   

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.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

7. 

Service contracts 

7.1  Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer: Mr Keith Gordon 

Mr Gordon’s employment is for an indefinite term. Mr Gordon’s employment may be terminated by 6 months’ notice 
from  either  party.  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: 

• 

• 

• 

FY11 and FY12 LTI grants will automatically vest. The FY13 LTI grant and all future LTI grants will vest only if the 
performance  condition  is  met  at  the  date  of  the  change  of  control,  provided  that  the  Board  will  retain 
discretion to vest a greater amount. 

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 Mr Gordon’s agreement), Mr Gordon may serve written notice on the Board advising that the 
change in duties constitutes a repudiation of the contract and that Mr Gordon elects to bring his employment 
to an end, in which case Mr Gordon will be entitled to receive a payment equivalent to 12 months’ base salary 
in lieu of notice.  

7.2 

Chief Financial Officer: Mr Stephen 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, 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. 

7.3  Other Executives 

Except as outlined above in sections 7.1 and 7.2, each Executive is 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.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

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  2013  comprise  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together 
referred to as the “Group”). The Group is a for profit entity and primarily involved in the provision of safe, reliable 
and maintained heavy earthmoving equipment solutions to customers in the mining industry (refer note 16). 

2  Basis of preparation 

(a) 

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  21  August 
2013. 

(b) 

Basis of measurement 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis  except  for  the 
following material items in the statement of financial position: 

(cid:1) 
(cid:1) 

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

The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5. 

(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(h)(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) 
Impairment of assets (continued) 
In light of the recent developments in the Indonesian CGU, the Company is reviewing the various options 
for the ongoing management and operation of this CGU. The outcome of the review may not be known for 
some time. Impairment testing of the Indonesian CGU has been assessed on a value in use methodology on 
the  basis  the  business  continues  to  operate  in  its  current  form.    Should  the  review  conclude  a  different 
strategy for the CGU, the estimates and assumption that impact the recoverable amount of the assets may 
change, which could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of that asset. 

Recognition of tax losses 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for deferred taxes (refer note 3(o)), 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(j)(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. 

Changes in accounting policies 
From  1  July  2012 the  Group  applied  amendments to  AASB  101 Presentation  of  Financial  Statements 
outlined  in AASB  2011-9  Amendments to  Australian  Accounting Standards - Presentation  of  Items  of 
Other  Comprehensive Income.  The change in accounting policy only relates to disclosures and has had 
no  impact  on  consolidated  earnings  per  share  or  net  income.    The  changes  have  been  applied 
retrospectively and require the Group to separately present those items of other comprehensive income 
that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that will never be reclassified to profit or 
loss. These changes are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Going concern basis of accounting 
The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption which contemplates the 
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  As at 30 June 2013 
the  Group  has  a  working  capital  position  of  A$76.6m,  unused  debt  facilities  of  $214.1m  and  was  in 
compliance with its borrowing facility covenants. 

The  Group  has  forecast  the  continued  compliance  with  its  financial  covenants. That  compliance  is 
dependent  on  the  Group  achieving  its  revenue  and  EBITDA  forecasts  which  the  Directors  consider 
reasonable. However, the present economic environment, where mining industry activity has slowed and 
the pace of recovery remains uncertain, increases the risk to the Group achieving its forecasts and in turn 
meeting  its  financial  covenants.   The  Directors  believe  the operational strategies  being  implemented  will 
mitigate this risk and ensure continued compliance with covenants.

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 except for the changes in 
accounting policies as explained in note 2(e). 

Certain  comparative  amounts  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income 
have been reclassified to conform with the current years presentation.

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 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 in a transaction in which substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  financial  asset  are  transferred.  Any  interest  in  such 
transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the  Group is recognised as  a separate asset or 
liability.

Financial instruments (continued) 
Non-derivative financial assets (continued) 
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 them 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. 

(ii) 

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,  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, debt securities issued, 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 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.

Financial instruments (continued) 

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

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  recognised  initially  at  fair  value;  attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognised  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. 

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  accumulated  in  equity  is  retained  in  other 
comprehensive  income  and  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  in  the  same  period  or  periods  during  which  the 
non-financial item affects profit or loss.  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 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. 

Repurchase and reissue of share capital (treasury shares) 
When  share  capital  recognised  as  equity  is  repurchased,  the  amount  of  the  consideration  paid,  which 
includes  directly  attributable  costs,  net  of  any  tax  effects,  is  recognised  as  a  deduction  from  equity. 
Repurchasing  shares  are  classified  as  treasury  shares  and  are  presented  in  the  reserve  for  own  shares.  
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 presented in retained earnings. 

(d) 
(i)  

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 includes 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.

Property, plant and equipment (continued) 
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. 

(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

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 any accumulated impairment losses.

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)

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

(f)  

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 estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

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. 

(g)   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.

(h)  
(i)  

Impairment  
Non-derivative financial assets 
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an equity accounted 
investee,  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.  

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  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 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 CGUs 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) 
(h)  
(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  2013  as  part  of  the  Group’s  process  of  annually 
testing goodwill for impairment. 

(i) 

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.   

(j)  
(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  has  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  related  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.

Employee benefits (continued) 

(j)  
(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 93 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.

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. 

Revenue 
Rental revenue 
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. 

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  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.

(m)   Leases 

Leased assets 
Leases  in  terms  of  which  the  Group  assumes  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are 
classified as finance leases. On 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.  

Lease payments 
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.  

(n)  

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 on financial assets and financial liabilities 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. 

(o)  

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. 

(i)  Current tax 

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. 

(ii)  Deferred tax 

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.

Tax (continued) 
(ii)  Deferred tax (continued) 

The measurement  of  deferred  tax  reflects  the  tax  consequences  that  would  follow  the manner 
in  which  the  Group  expects,  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  to  recover  or settle  the  carrying 
amount of  its  assets  and liabilities. 

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. 

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. 

(iii)  Tax exposures 

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. 

(p)   Discontinued operations 

A  discontinued  operation  is  a  component  of  the  Group's  business,  the  operations  and cash  flows 
of  which  can be clearly  distinguished from  the  rest  of the  Group  and which: 

• 
• 

• 

represents  a separate  major  line  of business  or geographical  area of operations; 
is  part  of  a  single  co-ordinated  plan  to  dispose  of  a  separate  major  line  of  business  or 
geographical  area of  operations;  or 
is a subsidiary  acquired  exclusively  with  a view  to  re-sale. 

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. 

(q)  

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  2012,  and  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing  these  consolidated  financial  statements.  
Those  which  may  be  relevant  to  the  Group  are  set  out  below.  The  Group  does  not  plan  to  adopt  these 
standards  early. 

(i)  AASB  9  Financial Instruments (2010), AASB 9  Financial instruments (2009) 

AASB 9  (2009)  introduces new  requirements  for  the  classification  and  measurement of  financial  assets. 
Under  AASB 9 (2009), financial  assets  are classified  and measured based  on the  business  model  in which 
they  are  held  and  the  characteristics of  their contractual  cash  flows.   AASB  9  (2010)  introduces additions 
relating  to  financial  liabilities.  The  IASB  currently  has  an  active  project  that  may  result 
in  limited 
amendments  to  the  classification  and  measurement  requirements  of  AASB  9  and  add  new 
requirements to address  the  impairment of  financial  assets  and hedge  accounting. 

AASB 9 (2010 and 2009)  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or after  1 January 2015 with  early 
adoption  permitted.  The  adoption  of  AASB  9  (2010)  is  expected  to  have  an  impact  on  the  Group's 
financial  assets,  but  no  impact  on the  Group's  financial liabilities. 

(ii)  AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (2011) 

AASB 13 provides  a single  source  of  guidance  on how  fair value is  measured,  and replaces  the  fair value 
measurement  guidance  that  is  currently  dispersed  throughout Australian  Accounting Standards. Subject 
to  limited exceptions,  AASB  13 is  applied  when  fair  value  measurements or  disclosures are  required  or 
permitted by  other  AASBs. The Group  is  currently  reviewing its  methodologies  in  determining fair  values 
(note  5).  AASB  13  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2013  with  early 
adoption  permitted. 

(iii)  AASB 119 Employee Benefits (2011) 

AASB 119 (2011)  changes  the  definition of  short-term and other  long-term employee benefits  to  clarify  the 
distinction  between  the  two.    For  defined  benefit  plans,  removal  of  the  accounting  policy  choice  for 
recognition of  actuarial gains  and  losses  is  not  expected to  have any impact  on  the  Group.  However,  the 
Group  may  need  to  assess  the  impact of  the  change  in  measurement principles  of  expected  return  on 
plan  assets.  AASB  119  (2011)  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2013  with 
early adoption  permitted. 

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 
depreciated  replacement  cost  when  appropriate.  Depreciated  replacement  cost  estimates  reflects 
adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.

(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, are estimated as the 
present  value  of  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  market  rate  of  interest  at  the  measurement  date.  
Short-term  receivables  with  no  stated  interest  rate  are  measured  at  the  original  invoice  amount  if  the 
effect  of  discounting  is  immaterial.  Fair  value  is  determined  at  initial  recognition  and,  for  disclosure 
purposes, at each annual reporting date. 

(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 

Other non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value, at initial recognition and for disclosure 
purposes,  at  each  annual  reporting  date.    Fair  value  is  calculated  based  on  the  present  value  of  future 
principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement 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  of  Directors  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,  aims  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:

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,  Chile  and  Canada,  and  generally  operates  on  a  “cash  for  keys”  policy  for  the  sale  of  equipment  and 
parts. 

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  (2012:  $750 
million).  The Australian business held insurance for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2013.  The Indonesian 
and Chilean businesses established insurance on its receivables in November 2011 and October 2012 respectively. 
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  2013  the  Group’s  doubtful  debts  provision  was  $16.8  million  (2012:  $2.1  million).  The  change  in 
provision for doubtful debts was $16.8 million during the financial year comprising the following: 

• 

• 

• 

$13.5  million  related  to  contract  disputes  with  two  customers  in  Indonesia  where  the  Company  continued 
invoicing  in  accordance  with  contract  terms,  after  the  equipment  had  been  stood  down.    The  Company  is 
continuing negotiations with the respective parties on these matters.   
$0.7 million related to the unrecovered portion of a legal settlement with an Indonesian customer relating to 
a prior period. 
$2.6 million represents provision for doubtful debts in the ordinary course in Australia and Canada totalling 
$1.7 million and $0.9 million respectively. 

As  at  30  June  2013  the  Group  recognised  bad  debt  write-offs  for  a  total  amount  of  $2.1  million  (2012:  $11.1 
million) of which $1.7 million related to two customers in the Indonesian business and $0.4 million related to one 
customer in the Australian business.  $1.3 million was provided for as doubtful debts at 30 June 2012.  

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 $5.8 million at 30 June 2013 (2012: $73.1 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-.

Collateral 
Collateral is held for customers that are assessed to be a higher risk.  At 30 June 2013 the Group held $Nil of bank 
guarantees (2012: $2.8 million) and $0.3 million of prepayments (2012: $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 2013 $75,000 guarantees 
were outstanding (2012: $122,500). 

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 2013 

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  2013  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  2013 
would  have  affected  the  measurement  of  financial  instruments  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and 
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 2012, 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.

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.

yield curve at the reporting date plus an adequate credit spread excluding margins, and were as follows: 

Derivatives

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2013 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Market risk (continued) 

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. 

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, 4 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 such as the payment of dividends in FY13 and the Board approved an on-
market buyback of 5% (31,561,879) of the Company’s shares for consideration of $16.9 million.  

Historically, the Board maintained a balance between higher returns possible with higher levels of borrowings and 
the security afforded by a sound capital position.  However, given current market condition, the Board seeks to 
reduce the levels of borrowings to maintain a strong capital position and protect the gearing ratio.  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 
targeted to be 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 1.7 times to 2.5 times (2012: 1.4 – 1.8 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  4.2% (2012: (13.0%)).   This 
includes  non-recurring  items  of  $29.2  million  (2012:  $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 7.1% (2012: 13.2%).

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.

The  above  available  amounts  are  based  on  the  balance  of  the  dividend  franking  account  at  year-end 
adjusted for: 

(a) 

(b) 
(c) 

(d) 

franking credits that will arise from the payment of current tax liabilities and recovery of current tax 
receivables; 
franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year end; 
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 $Nil (2012: $9,468,000).  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 $29,391,000 (2012: $59,733,000) franking credits.

The Group has four 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  geographic  region.    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: 

Australia 

Indonesia 

Canada 

Chile 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Australia. 

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. 

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 (2012: value in use) which is based on discounted cash flows for five years plus a terminal value. 
Impairment testing is intended to assess the recoverable amount of both tangible and intangible assets. As such, 
although the Chile Rental CGU has nil goodwill, impairment testing has been performed for this CGU. Nominal 
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  appropriate  CGU  three  year  swap  rate  plus  a  margin  for  three  year  tenor  debt  of 
equivalently credit rated businesses at 30 June 2013. 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 nominal post tax discount rates 
for determining the rental CGU’s valuations range between 9.2% and 12.8% (2012: 7.4% and 11.7%). For future 
cashflows of  each  CGU, the revenue growth in the first year of the business reflects the best estimate  for the 
coming year taking account of macroeconomic, business model, strategic and market factors. Growth rates for 
subsequent  years  are  based  on  Emeco’s  five  year  outlook  taking  into  account  all  available  information  at  this 
current time and are subject to change over time. Compound annual growth rates (CAGR) over the five years of 
the forecast range between negative 0.5% and 1.0% (2012: 2.0% and 10%).  The range excludes the Chilean CGU 
given its full first year of operation will be FY14.  

30  June  2013  impairment  testing  which  resulted  in  the  estimated  recoverable  amount  of  a  CGU  exceeding  its 
carrying amount are as follows:

Impairment loss 
For the interim period ended 31 December 2012, impairment testing indicated the Indonesian Rental CGU was 
not impaired. Following capital investment in Indonesia during FY12, the business suffered significant utilisation 
decline  during  the  year  which 
in 
FY14.   Consequently,  annual  impairment  testing  conducted  at  30  June  2013  has  identified  a  total  goodwill 
impairment charge of $17.8 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. The impairment charge is included 
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (page 70). Refer to note 2(c).

Impairment testing sensitivities 
The CGU valuations are sensitive to changes in the discount rate and underlying fleet utilisation assumptions for 
cashflow forecasts and terminal value. The following table shows the amount by which these two assumptions 
would need to change individually in order for the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU to be equal to the 
carrying amount:

USPP notes issue 
Under the terms of the note purchase agreement, the noteholders hold a joint fixed and floating charge with 
the syndicated bank group over the assets and undertakings of the  Group.  The US$140.0  million notes  were 
issued on 22 May 2012 and comprises a 7 year US$40.0 million tranche and a US$100.0 million 10 year tranche 
which  matures  22  May  2019  and  22  May  2022  respectively.  The  nominal  interest  rate  for  the  7  and  10  year 
notes are 4.63% and 5.25% respectively. Of the notes, US$20.0 million, with a maturity of 7 years, and US$30.0 
million  of  notes,  with  a  maturity  of  10  years,  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  The  remaining  notes  are

Other key management personnel transactions 
A  number  of  key  management  persons,  or  their  related  parties,  hold  positions  in  other  entities  that  result  in 
them having control or significant influence over the financial or operating policies of those entities. 

A number of these entities transacted with the Company or its subsidiaries in the reporting period.  The terms 
and conditions of the transactions with management persons and their related parties were no more favourable 
than  those  available,  or  which  might  reasonably  be  expected  to  be  available,  on  similar  transactions  to  non-
director related entities on an arm’s length basis. 

The aggregate value of transactions recognised during the year related to key management personnel and their 
related parties were as follows:
