Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

We are pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for financial year 2013/2014 (FY14). 

STRENGTHENING THE BUSINESS  

The mining industry continued to adversely impact the business during the year. Significant downturns in Australia and 
Indonesia  reduced  earnings  contributions  from  these  regions  compared  to  FY13.  Management  responded  by 
restructuring  our  Australian  operations.  In  Indonesia,  following  a  strategic  review,  a  decision  was  made  to  exit  the 
market and this has now been successfully completed.  

Contract wins in Australia and Chile over the second half of FY14 demonstrated the new Management team’s early 
success  in  delivering  improved  performance  to  the  business  through  an  enhanced  and  empowered  business 
development focus.   

Notwithstanding the challenging environment, the business was able to generate $85.9 million of cash during the year. 
In addition, to provide both balance sheet stability and flexibility as we work to restructure the business a US$335 million 
bond issue was completed in March to replace existing debt.  

Moving into FY15 Emeco is continuing to assess opportunities for  further geographical expansion, working with our 
customers to deliver equipment solutions which generate greater productivity and focusing on growth opportunities 
which create greater value for our shareholders.  

NEW LEADERSHIP 

FY14 was a year of change for the Emeco leadership team with the appointment of Ken Lewsey, as CEO and Managing 
Director,  and  Greg  Hawkins  as  CFO.  With  backgrounds  in  the  mining  industry,  both  Ken  and  Greg  bring  extensive 
experience and an enhanced customer focus to Emeco’s Management team. Both Ken and Greg have successfully driven 
earnings  growth  in  under-performing  businesses  in  previous  roles.    They  are  being  ably  supported  by  a  new 
Management  team  made  up  of  key  people  from  the  original  team  plus  some  new  recruits.    The  Board  is  greatly 
encouraged by the excellent progress that the new team has made on a range of fronts – operationally, financially and 
strategically. 

I’d  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  again  thank  Keith  Gordon,  Stephen  Gobby  and  Michael  Kirkpatrick  for  their 
contribution to Emeco.  Longstanding Non-Executive Director Bob Bishop stepped down at the end of FY14.  I would like 
to sincerely thank Bob for his contribution to the Board and Company over many years. 

SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY 

The Board saw a positive shift in Emeco’s sustainability performance and reporting during the year. The development 
of a centrally coordinated monthly Sustainability Report produced for the Board has provided greater consistency and 
efficiency in relation to the information captured and presented.  

It is pleasing to see the Company continue to improve its safety performance, particularly during challenging times when 
employee numbers can reduce and people are carrying out different or new roles.   

During the year the Company made good progress in relation to its diversity action plan by improving diversity reporting, 
awareness and establishing more flexible work practices for employees. Specifically, Emeco now has a greater number 
of women employed across its workforce including Senior Management roles. Emeco is culturally and geographically 
diverse and it is essential that the Company continues to attract, retain and develop high quality people with diverse 
perspectives  and  experiences  as  it  looks  to  improve  its  service  offerings  and  build  market  share  going  forward.  

Emeco’s safety and sustainability achievements over FY14 are detailed further in our Sustainability Report (page20).

FUTURE AMBITIONS FOCUSED ON SHAREHOLDER RETURNS 

The  Board  and  Management  team  remain  committed  to  delivering  strong  shareholder  returns  over  the  long-term. 
Capital management remains a key focus of the business and cash flow generated over the next 12 months is likely to 
be  directed  toward  further  stabilising  our  financial  position.  A  key  measure  of  Management’s  performance  is  total 
shareholder returns and as such, their goals are aligned with the Board on maximising returns for those shareholders 
who continue to support Emeco during these challenging times.  

The Board did not declare dividends for FY14 due to our focus on improving the Company’s balance sheet.  Looking 
forward the Board will assess the ability to pay dividends against earnings and the financial position of the business. 

BUILDING A PLATFORM FOR THE FUTURE 

Over  the  next  12  months  we  will  continue  to  build  on  our  successes  from  FY14.    Recently  awarded  contracts  have 
improved utilisation from the outset of FY15.  Greater earnings and divestment of underutilised assets will ensure the 
business continues to deliver strong cash generation. The Board’s goal is for Emeco to maximise long-term shareholder 
returns in this challenging market.  With a motivated management team, improved balance sheet flexibility and earnings 
diversification Emeco is positioned to succeed and grow once under-performing markets recover.

GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION REDUCING IMPACT OF DOWNTURN IN AUSTRALIA 

Continued weakness in commodity prices, and austerity and efficiency drives by major miners saw a continuation of 
reduced activity across most of Emeco’s operating regions.  The key bulk commodities of coal and iron ore were the 
most affected with the miners insourcing work traditionally performed by contractors.  The major miners also delivered 
real productivity gains internally and better utilised their own operating assets. 

This has driven all mining services providers to revisit their own cost bases and to assess the strength of their value 
proposition to the market.  This led to a reset of pricing levels within the industry. Whilst this has caused considerable 
pain, it does ensure that there are solid foundations going forward and that the Australian mining industry in particular 
remains competitive and ready for the eventual upturn in the mining cycle. 

Emeco was not immune to this resetting of value.  This has led us to a disappointing Operating EBITDA of $72.1 million 
and an Operating Net Loss after Tax of $21.6 million.  The Australian business averaged 41% utilisation across the year.  
Emeco invested heavily in rebuilding its business development capability and we did see early signs of success with a 
series of contract wins achieved in the last quarter of FY14.  These contracts therefore had a limited impact on the 2014 
financial year, but provide a solid start to 2015. Group utilisation for Emeco averaged 48% over the year and finished at 
50%, demonstrating the value of Emeco’s decision to target key offshore geographies. 

Our Canadian customer base continued to grow in FY14 with the business increasing its number of customers from 
eleven to thirteen. In addition, we continued to expand our external maintenance offering which generated earnings 
growth in FY14. Canada’s FY14 performance was down on FY13, impacted by an abnormally early cessation of the winter 
works program due to unfavourable weather conditions and an unplanned temporary plant shut-down at one of our 
major customers. 

Since its establishment in July 2012, the Chilean business has grown to approximately $110 million of fleet and averaged 
over 80% utilisation.  Earnings growth in FY14 further supports Emeco’s decision to expand into the highly prospective 
Chilean  copper  market.  Efforts  by  our  Chile  team  over  FY14  resulted  in  the  business  securing  a  5  year  contract  in 
conjunction with Chilean mining contractor Fe Grande, estimated to generate revenue for Emeco of between US$27 
million and US$32 million annually.  Mobilisation of fleet has commenced for this project with a portion of equipment 
to be transferred from Australia to Chile to further grow this business.  

Both Canada and Chile demonstrated the value of geographical and commodity diversification over FY14 during a period 
of low activity in the Australian market.  Along with our improved financial position, diversification provides a stable 
platform from which to compete in under-performing markets and positions the business well for growth when these 
markets recover.   

IMPROVEMENTS FROM STRATEGIC INITIATIVES 

Since my commencement with Emeco just over 8 months ago we have achieved many of our early objectives.  These 
include: 

•  A successful refinancing of Emeco; 
•  A new Executive and Senior Management team with the skills to be successful in this very different market; 
• 
Strengthening our business development capability across our Australian and international businesses; 
• 
The closure of the loss making Indonesian business; 
• 
Securing the Fe Grande contract in Chile for 5 years, which provides a solid base for further growth in the 
region; and 
Continued improvement in our safety and environmental performance.

I entered Emeco with a strategic and business development background and a belief that genuine customer intimacy 
and  engagement  is  the  key  to  successful  and  profitable  growth.    We  initiated  Emeco’s  first  independent,  global 
customer survey to ensure that we better understand and meet our customer needs.  I have recruited a new team of 
like minded Executives, albeit with different skills sets to develop and execute a clear strategic direction for Emeco.  
During  FY14  Emeco’s  first  female  Executive,  Kellie  Benda,  was  appointed  to  assist  with  the  strategic  direction  and 
corporate development of the Company. Our ongoing strategic review has identified several business development 
initiatives which have resulted in our most recent contract wins in Australia and Chile.   

Our major priority was to rebuild our market share and presence in Australia. To support this, Ian Testrow returned as 
Chief Operating Officer to draw on his success with developing both our Canadian and Chilean businesses. We have 
bolstered  our  customer  and  business  development  capabilities  in  Australia  broadening  our  exposure  into  adjacent 
geographies and markets, with fleets recently contracted into the Northen Territory and mining civils markets.  

The recently announced Fe Grande project replaces fleet expected to be off-hired during 1HFY15 and potential project 
extensions as well as a strong pipeline of smaller projects currently tendered support an expected high level of utilisation 
through FY15 and beyond.  We continue to assess opportunities in the Latin America region with Chile now providing a 
platform to build on our maintenance capabilities and expand our fleet. 

In August 2013 Emeco announced the downsizing of the Indonesian business following a slowdown in the Indonesian 
coal market and a number of significant contract losses. Following a strategic review which considered a range of factors 
including uncertainty around government policy, unfavourable conditions for the Indonesian mining industry and poor 
expected earnings over the long term, Emeco announced its decision to exit Indonesia in May 2014.  

The Company continues to make good headway and to improve its performance in the areas of safety.  We realised a 
33%  improvement  in  the  total  recordable  injury  frequency  rate  (TRIFR)  during  the  year  and  importantly,  have  seen 
improvements across all safety lead indicators demonstrating a pro-active shift in safety behaviour.  

I believe that the quality of our people and the continuous improvement of our safety performance remain paramount 
to Emeco, particularly as we demonstrate our ability to drive value and support the aspirations of our customers.   

POSITION FOR FUTURE GROWTH 

Our new team has been charged with envisioning an Emeco in the markets of the future. Our detailed strategic review 
has looked at how we evolve within the context of the following challenges: reducing capital intensity; creating our 
value  differentiator;  deeper  wider  relationships  with  our  customers;  leveraging  existing  capabilities  and  assets; 
diversifying market risk; and better managing our exposure to the mining development cycle. 

Our strategic review and development process continues in 1HFY15. The detailed customer, equipment market and 
industry analysis carried out in recent months, together with our successes and learnings from FY14, will see us add 
greater value to our customers’ operations in the coming year and take advantage of any recovery in our operating 
markets.  We will also continue to seek opportunities to improve utilisation of our existing fleet and to divest under-
performing asset classes.  

Cash generation remains a key element of Emeco’s business model with free cash flow over FY15 intended to further 
strengthen our financial position and provide leverage to strategically grow the business in the future.  

The team has done an outstanding job of stabilising the business during another challenging year and I believe we are 
well prepared and positioned to build on this solid foundation for greater shareholder value in FY15.

Chief Financial Officer’s Report 

MANAGING THROUGH THE CYCLE 

Our FY14 financial results were down on the prior year due to the full year impact of contract reductions in FY13 plus 
later than expected commencement of new projects and unexpected circumstances impacting utilisation in Canada as 
mentioned in the Managing Directors report. Operating revenue decreased by 36.5% in FY14 to $241.1 million, down 
from $379.4 million in FY13.   

Despite cost reductions achieved over FY13 and FY14, the full year impact of rental rate declines during FY13 resulted 
in lower Operating EBITDA and Operating EBIT margins in FY14. Combined with reduced utilisation FY14 Operating Net 
Profit after Tax reduced to a $21.6 million loss, down from a profit of $28.5 million in FY13. 

The Indonesian business was exited during FY14 and reported as a discontinued operation for the 12 months ended 30 
June 2014. 

CAPITAL RESTRUCTURING TO SUPPORT THE LONG TERM  

As the operating landscape continued to deteriorate over FY14 the business focused on mitigating financing risks and 
pursuing options to improve flexibility of the capital structure.   

In October 2013 the business announced the negotiation of two financial covenant amendments under the previous 
A$450  million  syndicated  debt  facility.    Operating  results  pressured  these  amended  covenants  and  Management 
pursued a covenant light debt structure, resulting in a US$335 million 144A bond issue with a 5 year term.  The net 
proceeds  from  the  bond  issue  were  used  to  repay  existing  indebtedness  outstanding  under  the  USPP  Notes  and 
syndicated debt facility.   

On completion of the 144A bond issue Emeco was granted access to a A$50 million secured multi-currency revolving 
credit facility. This facility provides funding for future general corporate purposes. 

GENERATION OF CASH FLOW A PRIORITY 

FY14 free cash flow of $85.9 million was predominantly used to reduce leverage prior to the successful bond issue.  
Management’s strategy of releasing cash from idle assets led to fleet disposals totalling $70.8 million, mostly from the 
Indonesian business, while lower utilisation and replacement of end of life assets with existing fleet reduced sustaining 
capital expenditure to $29.7 million, down 58.7% from FY13. 30 June 2014 net debt of $323.3 million represented a 
22.0% reduction on the prior year. 

Moving ahead Emeco’s ability to generate cash flow remains a focus for supporting the future growth of the business. 
Despite  Emeco’s  covenant  light  debt  structure  Management  remains  conservative  in  its  approach  to  capital 
management.   With gearing (net debt:Operating EBITDA) at 4.8 times Emeco will continue to focus on the generation 
of free cash flow from operations and asset divestments to drive gearing below 3.0 times. Management will also focus 
on a fleet strategy of matching asset classes to regional demand.  At 30 June 2014 $39.9 million of assets were classified 
as held for sale, being units considered non-core to the business in the current market.   

RESETTING OF ASSET VALUES FOR CURRENT MARKET 

During FY14 Emeco recognised goodwill impairments totalling $157.9 million, impairment charges totalling $37.5 millon 
on assets transferred to non-current assets held for sale and $6.2 million of inventory write-offs associated with the 
wind-down of the Australian parts business. Management believes the resetting of these asset values is indicative of 
the current environment in which the business is operating. We intend to dispose of non-current assets held for sale 
over FY15 given our current level of idle fleet. Funds will be used to recycle capital by replacing highly utilised end of 
life assets and to manage our financial position.

THE YEAR AHEAD 

Recent contract awards are expected to drive incremental earnings growth during FY15. Conversion of an improving 
project  pipeline  will  drive  utilisation  growth,  however  the  competitive  landscape  is  likely  to  minimise  any  margin 
improvements over the next 12 months. The business will continue to generate cash to further strengthen our financial 
position and provide the business capital to fund future growth.  

Having recently joined the Emeco team I look forward to working with everyone in developing this business into the 
future.

All reconciling items relating to FY14 Operating Results are discussed in further detail later in the Operating and Financial Review. 

WEAKNESS IN MINING ACTIVITY OVER FY14 

Weakness in the Australian and Indonesian mining sectors continued to drive down operating performance with the 
full year impact of significant contract losses during FY13 only partially offset by new projects commenced over FY14. 
As a result average utilisation declined to 48% in FY14, down from 67% in FY13.  FY14 utilisation was further impacted 
by delays in the commencement of recent contract wins in Australia and Chile, plus a shortened oil sands winter works 
period due to warmer weather in Canada and an unplanned plant shut-down at one of our major oil sands customers.

Group operating revenue from continuing operations reduced by 36.5% to $241.1 million, down from $379.4 million in 
FY13 as a result of lower utilisation and the full year impact of market wide rental rate reductions over FY13.  Rental 
and Maintenance revenue was down 34.6% to $233.0 million (2013: $356.0m) due to the loss of significant contracts 
in FY13 which were not replaced over FY14.  The Group continued to downsize the sales and parts businesses driving 
associated revenue down to $8.1 million (2013: $23.4 million).  

Despite further cost reductions in FY14, reduced rental margins in Australia combined with declining utilisation across 
the business resulted in Operating EBITDA margin falling to 29.9% (FY13: 42.3%).  Operating EBIT decreased to negative 
2.5% (FY13: 16.2%) as idle fleet depreciation increased against a corresponding reduced revenue base.

Lower utilisation and cost reduction initiatives resulted in operating expenses excluding impairment of tangible assets 
decreasing 22.4% over FY14 to $170.1 million, down from $219.1 million in FY13.  

Changes in machinery and parts inventory, which comprises the downsized sales and parts businesses in addition to 
inventory management supporting third party fleet working along-side our rental units, decreased in line with sales 
and  parts  revenue.  Repairs  and  maintenance  expense,  which  primarily  comprises  parts  and  maintenance  labour 
associated with our rental fleet, was down 25.7% to $84.7 million (2013: $114.0 million) in line with lower Rental and 
Maintenance Revenue.  

Restructuring of the Group over FY14 focused on resizing lower utilised segments of the business in light of reduced 
operating  performance,  with  additional  resources  employed  to  support  our  enhanced  business  and  corporate 
development capabilities to drive future growth. The success of this strategy has been evident over 2HFY14 with recent 
contract wins expected to result in incremental utilisation improvement in early FY15. Employee expenses reduced 
year on year to $42.9 million (2013: $45.2 million). Redundancies over FY14 resulted in one-off costs  totalling $1.2 
million.  

Other expenses increased to $71.8 million as a result of higher impairment on tangible assets resulting from idle assets 
classified  as  assets  held  for  sale  and  subsequently  disposed.  Excluding  this  item  net  other  expenses  totalled  $28.1 
million, down 17.6% from FY13. Refer to note 8 in the financial statements for further breakdown of net other expenses 
(page 103). 

Depreciation  expense  fell  in  line  with  utilisation  to  $78.0  million  (2013:  $98.2  million),  however  increased  as  a 
percentage of rental and maintenance revenue to 33.5% (2013: 27.6%) primarily due to higher depreciation expense 
associated with a larger portion of idle fleet and fixed operating depreciation expense against declining rental margins.

Total asset impairments increased in FY14 to $201.6 million, up from $29.8 million in FY13.  

Impairment loss on inventory fell to $6.1 million in FY14 (2013: $8.6 million), primarily representing further write-offs 
associated with the wind-down of the Australian parts business.   

Impairment loss on property, plant and equipment increased to $37.5 million in FY14, up from $3.4 million in FY13. 
Over  the  year  the  Group  classified  a  portion  of  idle  fleet  to  non-current  assets  held  for  sale  with  corresponding 
impairments recognised to represent the expected market value of those assets. Assets held for sale are not marketed 
for rental and as such are not considered as part of our value in use impairment testing. Non-current assets held for 
sale at 30 June 2014 totalled $39.9 million.  

Impairment testing conducted as at 31 December 2013 identified goodwill impairment in the Australian and Canadian 
businesses totalling $151.7 million and $6.2 million respectively.  Goodwill arose when Emeco was acquired by two 
private equity firms in 2005. Despite the Group expecting growth in mining volumes over the long-term and associated 
improvement in operating performance, Emeco’s Board adopted a conservative approach in determining the carrying 
value of the Group’s goodwill. Impairment testing conducted at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 did not identify 
impairments in the carrying value of Emeco’s tangible assets.

Free cash flow post shareholder returns increased in FY14 to $85.9 million, up from a net cash outflow in FY13 of $14.0 
million. The increase resulted from reduced capital expenditure against capital release from disposals. 

Operating  cash  flow  dropped  58.7%  to  $76.3  million  in  line  with  operating  EBITDA,  which  was  impacted  by  lower 
utilisation and the full year impact of rental rate reductions over FY13. This figure included a tax benefit of $10.2 million.

As  a  result  of  lower  operating  activity  the  Group  reduced  capital  expenditure  on  the  prior  period  to  $30.6  million.  
Sustaining capital expenditure was minimised to that required to maintain operating fleet while end of life assets were 
replaced by idle fleet.  The Company will continue this approach in FY15 however will also focus on replacing highly 
utilised end of life assets with capital recycled from the disposal of assets held for sale. 

The successful bond issue executed in March 2014 resulted in establishment fees totalling $17.0 million. These costs 
included legal, accounting and debt advisor fees.  

Net  cash  flow  from  the  discontinued  Indonesian  operations  totalled  $9.8  million  in  FY14,  representing  net  capital 
release totalling $39.0 million offset against operating costs of $2.2 million and repayment of debt associated with the 
Indonesian business totalling $31.3 million.

Free cash flow generation over FY14 resulted in net debt decreasing $89.1 million to $323.3 million at 30 June 2014.   
This represents a 22.0% fall in net debt from 30 June 2013.  

On 17 March 2014 Emeco refinanced its existing debt facilities with the successful issue of a US$335 million bond in 
conjunction with a new A$50 million secured multi-currency revolving credit facility.  Emeco announced that its wholly 
owned subsidiary Emeco Pty Ltd had completed the offering of US$335 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.875% 
Senior Secured Notes due 2019 in an offering to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 
144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘Securities Act’), and to certain persons outside 
the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.   

The net proceeds of the Notes issue was used to repay Emeco’s existing USPP Notes and syndicated debt facilities.  
Repayment of the USPP Notes incurred make-whole payments of $16.1 million.  The revolving credit facility provides 
funding for general corporate activities and was undrawn at 30 June 2014.   

The 144A Notes pay interest on 15 March and 15 September each year, commencing on 15 September 2014. The Notes 
are secured and guaranteed by Emeco Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries.  

The  144A  Notes  do  not  include  maintenance  covenants,  the  credit  facility  requires  monitoring  of  the  following 
covenants: 
• 
• 

Liquidity ratio – Net debt : Net Tangible Assets; no greater than 65% 
Interest cover ratio – Operating EBITDA : Interest Expense; no less than 2.25 times 

Despite  Emeco’s  covenant  light  debt  structure  Management  remains  conservative  in  its  approach  to  capital 
management.   Gearing at 30 June 2014 was 4.78 times, Emeco’s goal is to reduce gearing below 3.0 times by 30 June 
2015  through  improved  earnings  and  reducing  debt  with  free  cash  flow.    Assets  held  for  sale  at  30  June  2014  are 
expected to release $39.9 million over FY15 (includes assets held in discontinued operations).

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

The Board declared a nil interim and final dividend for FY14 as a result of the net operating loss for the period combined 
with  Emeco’s  focus  on  capital  preservation  and  maintaining  a  strong  financial  position  amid  poor  external  market 
conditions.  The Board will assess the ability to pay dividends against earnings and the financial position of the business 
going forward. 

During FY13 the Company completed a 5% share buyback, the Company did not buy back shares during FY14. 

STRATEGY FOCUS TO PREPARE EMECO FOR FUTURE GROWTH 

During a challenging 12 months the business successfully implemented a number of strategic initiatives including Emeco 
removing gearing risks, restoring confidence in our financial position and restructuring the business  to enhance our 
business development capability and focus on high demand asset classes. Emeco’s strategic efforts over the next twelve 
months will be to build on progress made during FY14 to position the business for future growth.  We will continue to 
strengthen our customer relationships, improve our financial position and match our fleet to the markets in which we 
operate.  

Emeco will continue to generate cashflow from operations which the Group intends to use to further strengthen our 
financial position and fund corporate initiatives.  Cash release from the disposal of low utilised fleet classes will partially 
be used to fund asset purchases targeted toward contract awards and replacing end of life assets in fleet classes with 
high utilisation rates.  

As outlined in the Managing Director’s Report, our strategic review and development process will continue into 1HFY15. 
Over the past six months Ken Lewsey has enhanced the Group’s corporate development team to identify opportunities 
to add greater value to our customers and take advantage of any recovery in our operating markets.

Main markets 

Comprised  of  three  operating  units,  Western  Region  (including  Western  Australia,  Northern  Territory  and  South 
Australia), Queensland and New South Wales, the Australian rental business is well diversified across bulk commodities 
and metals.  The business services high quality customers, primarily blue-chip miners and large contractors, leveraged 
to the production phase of the mining cycle.  Rental revenue commodity mix is weighted toward thermal coal (26%), 
iron ore (14%), metallurgical coal (19%) and metals (30%).   

FY14 Performance 

Utilisation across FY14 stabilised compared to FY13, however significant contract losses over FY13 were only partially 
replaced during FY14 resulting in average utilisation decreasing to 41%, down from 60% in FY13. Reduced utilisation 
combined with nil recovery in rental rates resulted in FY14 operating revenue declining to $130.0 million, down from 
$250.6 million in FY13. Despite lower financial performance in FY14 an improvement in enquiry levels resulted in several 
contract wins toward the end of 2HFY14. Long lead times on customers converting enquiries led to these contracts not 
contributing to FY14 earnings.  

Performance of the Australian business varied across each of the business units, ranging from year end utilisation in 
Queensland  of  10%  compared  to  New  South  Wales  of  68%  (Western  Region  year  end  utilisation  of  46%).    Our 
Queensland business has been heavily impacted by the oversupply of mining equipment in this region driving intense 
competition.  We successfully defended our strong presence in New South Wales, growing the business over FY14 with 
significant contract wins in the gold and coal markets. An increase in activity in Western Australia in 2HFY14 stabilised 
utilisation and resulted in several project wins toward the end of FY14.

The Year Ahead 

Recent  contract  wins  will  drive  incremental  utilisation  growth  from  the  commencement  of  FY15.  A  strong  project 
pipeline  is  expected  to  drive  further  improvement  in  utilisation  over  FY15  however  the  Australian  market  remains 
competitive. Across the business units Emeco Australia is focused on building market share in Queensland, defending 
our strong position in New South Wales and converting the current project pipeline in the Western Regions.  

Given current utilisation of 41% the business will continue to drive cost reduction initiatives, limit capital expenditure 
to major component replacements, use idle fleet to replace assets which reach end of life and seek opportunities to 
redeploy or dispose of under-utilised asset classes.   

Medium Term Outlook 

The  medium  term  outlook  for  the  Australian  mining  market  remains  similar  to  that  12  months  ago,  albeit  an 
improvement in the rental market through greater enquiry levels. Low bulk commodity prices combined with the high 
value  of  the  Australian  dollar  continue  to  impact  the  coal  markets,  iron  ore  producers  continue  to  focus  on  the 
owner/operator model using their own equipment, while recovery in base metals market appears to be somewhat 
stifled by limited access to new capital sources.

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  FY14  remained  heavily  weighted 
toward oil sands (86%) with the remainder derived primarily from thermal coal.  

FY14 Performance 

The Canadian business continued to expand its customer base in FY14 signing a third MSA with a major oil producer 
and partnering with large indigenous contractors. As a result the number of customers for this business increased from 
eleven to thirteen. Further growth in our external maintenance offering was also driven by an additional customer, 
driving associated revenues up 106.7% to $6.2 million (2013: $3.0 million).  

Despite continuing to expand our Canadian business FY14 revenue of $81.5 million was 13.5% down on FY13 due to 
warmer weather resulting in the early cessation of the winter oil sands works program and an unplanned temporary 
plant shut-down at one of our major oil sands customers. The unpredictable nature of these occurrences resulted in 
EBITDA and EBIT margins declining in FY14 to 33.9% and 10.0% respectively (2013: 49.4% and 24.8% respectively) as 
revenue decreased against a relatively stable operating cost base.

The Year Ahead 

Over  the  next  12  months  our  Canadian  business  is  focused  on  maintaining  a  high  level  of  service  to  our  existing 
customers  whilst  building  business  development  capability  outside  the  oil  sands  market.  Whilst  preserving  high 
utilisation over the winter period, servicing other commodity markets is likely to reduce revenue seasonality and lessen 
our exposure to the oil sands industry. Growth in our external maintenance services business is reducing the capital 
intensity of the Canadian business. Similar to our Australian business low utilised asset classes have been targeted for 
disposal with a number of assets transferred to assets held for sale.  

Medium Term Outlook 

Embodied in the Canadian 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 

Leveraged to the growing copper mining region of Antofagasta, Emeco services large international and domestic blue-
chip miners and contractors in Chile. Rental revenue in FY14 was 100% weighted toward the copper industry. 

FY14 Performance 

During FY14 the Group invested a further $25.0 million into the Chilean fleet increasing total fleet to approximately 
$110 million at 30 June 2014, including $22.2 million of transfers from Canada and Indonesia. The larger fleet combined 
with high utilisation resulted in revenue growth of 44.3% in FY14 to $25.1 million. Operating expenses increased as 
further resources were invested in the regional office to build our business development and maintenance capabilities. 
As a result EBITDA and EBIT margins reduced in FY14 to 55.0% and 16.3% respectively, down from 63.8% and 36.8% in 
FY13. 

The Year Ahead 

Emeco  recently  announced  the  Chilean  business  secured  a  five  year  contract  in  conjunction  with  Chilean  mining 
contractor Fe Grande, estimated to generate revenue for Emeco between US$27 million and US$32 million annually. 
Utilising up to US$60 million of the Chilean fleet and representing over 50% utilisation the project provides a base for 
high  utilisation  in  Chile  for  FY15  and  beyond.  Combined  with  a  strong  project  pipeline  Management  expects  high 
utilisation in the region over the next five years. Building on this foundation the business will seek opportunities to grow 
the fleet with a focus on transferring idle fleet from other regions.

Medium Term Outlook 

The  Chilean  mining industry  maintains a  strong cost curve position  which is expected  to underpin activity over the 
medium term.  Greater presence in Chile is providing Emeco new opportunities to expand its customer base, both with 
contractors and mining companies.  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. 

INDONESIA 

FY14 Performance 

Following the cessation of its only remaining significant contract with PT Indo Muro Kencana in July 2013 the business 
focused on cost minimisation and reducing the fleet via disposals and transfers. As mentioned in the Operating and 
Financial review (page 12), net cash flow from the discontinued Indonesian operations totalled $9.9 million in FY14.  

At  30  June  2013  the  Indonesian  business  held  rental  assets  totalling  $108  million.    Over  FY14  $11.2  million  of  the 
Indonesian fleet was transferred to other Emeco businesses, whilst $82.7 million was reclassified as assets held for 
sales, with disposals of $40.3 million.  

Discontinued business 

Coming into FY14 Emeco announced the downsizing of the Indonesian business subsequent to the loss of a number of 
significant contracts and a slowdown in Indonesian coal market activity. Following a strategic review of the Indonesian 
business completed in May 2014 Emeco will exit the market given expected poor earnings from the business over the 
long-term.  

The Indonesian business has been classified as a discontinuing operation for FY14 and the comparative period. As such 
FY14 financial results of the business have been excluded from operating and statutory results.  

The exit of the Indonesian business is expected to remove approximately $3.5 million in operating costs annually.

SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE FUTURE 

This is Emeco’s fourth consecutive global sustainability report covering the financial year ending 30 June 2014.  Despite 
challenging  market  conditions  during  the  last  financial  year  we  maintained  our  commitment  to  employee  safety, 
investment in our communities and the responsible stewardship of the physical environment in which we operate. 

During the reporting period the mining industry was confronted with many adverse economic and market conditions.  
As a result of these issues we were forced to make a number of difficult decisions which resulted in the announcements 
that we would exit our Indonesian operations and commence a redundancy program in Australia. While difficult, we 
believe these measures were essential to help us transition Emeco through a difficult time and to improve the future 
sustainability of the Company. 

Safety is paramount at Emeco. We had a 33% improvement in our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) and 
a  74%  improvement  in  our  Lost  Time  Injury  Frequency  Rate  (LTIFR)  during  FY14  due  to  a  continued  focus  on  lead 
indicators,  improvement  of  health,  safety  and  environment  (HSE)  systems  and  by  ensuring  that  our  employees  are 
provided with the HSE training relevant to their role. 

In a significant step, we have made good progress to our commitment to gender diversity. We appointed the first female 
executive to our leadership team and also appointed our  first  female general  manager. We have also  established a 
structured mentoring program for our current and future women leaders within the Australian business. In FY15 we will 
focus on expanding the diversity of our operations. 

Continuing to manage our key sustainability risks remains a priority. Throughout FY14 we collected key sustainability 
metrics for the monthly sustainability report produced for the Emeco Board. This has enabled the Board to track our 
progress  more  closely,  which  has  improved  performance  and  accountability  levels  across  the  Company.  Our  annual 
sustainability reporting process has also become more streamlined and consistent as we collect information on a more 
regular basis.   

About this report 

This  report  has  been  developed  using  the  Global  Reporting  Initiative  (GRI)  framework  in  accordance  with  the  G3 
guidelines. The report has been self-assessed as a C level report and covers our performance in the areas of safety, 
people, community and environment for the FY14 period across our global operations. In preparing the information 
disclosed in this report we have applied the GRI principles for the development of report content which help to identify 
the areas of greatest importance and focus. These principles are: materiality, stakeholder inclusiveness, sustainability 
context and completeness.  

Report Boundary 

This report covers our global operations in Australia, Indonesia, Canada and Chile. References to Emeco in this report

Our stakeholders 

Our key stakeholder groups are listed below in table 13. The ways in which we engage with our stakeholders and their 
main areas of interest are also presented. Where relevant, we have responded to these concerns throughout the report 
as indicated by the cross-reference in the table below. 

We have continued to report the same material issues which we identified in our 2013 report. With the transition to

Safe employees, customers and suppliers  

Our customers have told us that safety is their main priority and this aligns with Emeco’s position that the safety of our 
people  and  those  we  work  with  is  paramount.  Emeco  is  committed  to  maintaining  a  safe  and  healthy  working 
environment for our employees, suppliers and customers. To that end we continued to improve our safety systems and 
processes in FY14 as well as our global safety performance (see page 24). 

Customer Feedback 

We undertook an independent customer satisfaction survey of customers, non-customers and industry participants in 
FY14. The survey sought to better understand our customers’ needs and their level of satisfaction with our products 
and services.  

Approximately  40  respondents  from  across  Latin  America,  Canada  and  Australia  participated  in  the  survey.  The 
information obtained will be vital as we seek to add greater value to our existing and future customers’ operations and 
as we develop our business strategy for the future.

PEOPLE 

Health and Safety 

We take the health and safety of our people very seriously. We are proud of the progress we made in FY14 in formalising 
a number of systems and standard operating procedures. The Emeco Health, Safety and Environment Risk Matrix and 
Risk Management framework are now consistent across the entire Group. Operating, leasing and maintaining heavy 
vehicles in 24/7 environments can present a risk to our people, but it is also an opportunity to demonstrate leading 
practice in safety management and behavioural-led safety. We are pleased to report an improvement in total recordable 
and lost time injury frequency rates during FY14. 

Improved systems 

A new HSE information and incident management application, iSystain, was rolled out across Australia in FY14. iSystain 
is supported by the Emeco Safety Health Environmental Management System (ESHEMS) compromising of 16 standards 
which outline Emeco’s HSE requirements at the highest level. Underlying the ESHEMS Standard 10 – Risk Management 
are core risk control protocols and supporting standard operating procedures.  

The  iSystain  application  also  has  a  Vendor  Management  module  which  allows  us  to  assess  the  HSE  maturity  of  our 
suppliers to ensure that they are able to operate within Emeco’s HSE requirements. We constantly seek to improve the 
health and safety of not only our employees, but also our supply chain. The Vendor Management module will provide 
automated management of supplier prequalification, assess compliance against Emeco’s requirements and assist in the 
ongoing management of a supplier’s services.  

A key focus for the coming year will be to implement iSystain across our global operations to Canada and Chile. 

Monitoring and audit 

The Australian business developed and conducted internal audits of EHSEMS for Western Australian and New South 
Wales operational sites during the period. Mackay and other Queensland sites were not audited due to the downsizing 
of our Queensland operations. The Canadian business has undertaken audits to achieve their Certificate of Registration 
requirements in the province of Alberta. ESHEMS audits for Chile will commence in FY15. 

Global knowledge sharing 

The Global HSE Forum continued in FY14 and has resulted in greater information sharing across the Emeco Group. The 
Australian business focused on HSE communication and engagement and has since seen improvements to our Positive 
Attitude  Safety  System  (PASS).  We  have  implemented  an  additional  level  meeting  in  which  operational  leaders 
(including Leading Hands and Supervisors) discuss HSE improvements and provide feedback on a daily basis. By moving 
from  lag  indicators  for  safety  to  a  more  proactive  HSE  lead  indicator  focus,  we  believe  that  we  are  bringing  HSE 
leadership from the boardroom to the frontline. 

During the year our Canadian business rolled out the “Emeco Canada Life Saving Rules” which are positive, proactive 
guiding principles for all Canadian employees to abide by. There has also been an increased focus on delivering training 
including topics such as risk tolerance levels, heavy duty mechanic training and administrative training around audits, 
injury investigations and return to work strategies.

During the period, Emeco’s global LTIFR decreased by 74% and the Group realised a 33% improvement in TRIFR. Lead 
indicators such as the reporting of hazards and near misses as well as the number of inspections, audits and safe act 
observations also continually improved during the year. 

Focus on proactive HSE activities 

We focused heavily on safety performance and proactive HSE activities during the year.  Additionally, we concentrated 
on a number of lead indicators which are important to help the business identify hazards, prevent injuries and encourage 
continuous improvement.  Each region continued to improve in relation to hazard reporting, safe act observations, risk 
management  tools  (Take  5s,  Job  Safety  Environmental  Analysis,  Safe  Work  Method  Statements,  Field  Level  Risk 
Assessments, Last Minute Risk Assessments and Team Based Risk Assessments).  

As part of our commitment to ensuring our employees are safe at work, we also encourage and empower our employees 
to be safe outside of the workplace. During the year, Emeco ran four free three-hour child and baby first aid courses for 
employees and their families in Australia. In FY15 we plan to continue with this initiative.  

Diversity 

Operating across Australia, Canada and Chile, Emeco's businesses are geographically and culturally diverse and we are 
focused on developing a workforce which reflects the diversity of the broader communities in which we operate. 

Emeco made good progress in its commitment to increasing gender diversity in FY14. The first female executive was 
appointed to our leadership team and we also appointed our first female General Manager. In FY14 Emeco increased 
overall female representation in the workforce (see table 18). 

Our executive leadership team participated in gender diversity workshops during FY13 and we now intend to roll this 
out to the senior regional management teams in FY15. We understand the value of gender diversity and are committed 
to equality and treating each other with respect. 

For the first time in FY14 we piloted a structured mentoring opportunity for current and future women leaders within 
Western Australia, developed in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Management Western Australia. We will 
look to expand this program across our other operating regions in FY15 through AIM WA’s e-mentoring capabilities and 
affiliated training organisations dependent on feedback from participants.

Emeco  has  begun  producing  and  publishing  a  series  of  regular  articles  called  ‘Empowered  Leaders’.  These  articles 
showcase Emeco people who lead by example, regardless of their level or role. The articles are communicated through 
Emeco’s intranet (Emnet) and via email. 

People data  

In  FY14  we  changed  the  format  of  our  reporting  on  gender  diversity  metrics  so  we  are  aligned  with  the  Australian 
Government’s  Workplace  Gender  Equality  Agency  (WGEA)  requirements  for  job  classifications.  Our  WGEA  report  is 
available in the sustainability section of our website: www.emecogroup.com. Please refer to pages 37 to 38 for further 
information on our approach to gender diversity. 

As at 30 June 2014, women represent 15.9 per cent of our workforce which is a slight increase from 14.7 per cent at 30 
June  2013.  Women  hold  20.8  per  cent  of  management  positions  and  the  majority  of  women  are  employed  in 
administrative and business support roles at Emeco.

Unfortunately  market  conditions  in  Australia  required  a  program  of  redundancies  in  FY14.  Affected  employees, 
regardless of their level or position, were provided with support and assistance to transition to alternative employment. 

In  Australia  Emeco  engages  the  support  of  a  third-party  Employee  Assistance  Program  (EAP).  Throughout  the  FY14 
structural changes, Emeco management regularly communicated the EAP services available to employees and in some 
circumstances family members.  

In August 2013 Emeco announced the downsizing of the Indonesian business following a slowdown in Indonesian coal 
mining activity and a number of significant contract losses. The Indonesian business will not be included in reports going 
forward and we currently have a limited team of key staff operating at the workshop to assist with the closure of the 
business. 

The decision to exit Indonesia was taken very seriously, weighing up the market conditions as well as the impacts on 
our  employees.  Throughout  this  process  we  have  engaged  with  the  relevant  local  organisations  and  authorities  to 
provide support for affected employees and ensure that we comply with the relevant industrial relations regulations. 

Employee satisfaction 

In 2013 we undertook our fourth annual culture survey with 76% of the global workforce participating. As anticipated, 
given the challenging market conditions at the time the survey was conducted, employee satisfaction levels were lower 
than in previous years. This was a clear reflection of the downturn in the market and concerns around job security, 
particularly in Australia and Indonesia. Pleasingly, our culture survey did reveal that our core values of Accountability, 
Continuous Improvement, Integrity and Collaboration continue to remain priorities for employees.  

Employee Development 

Emeco strives to ensure that all employees have Personal Performance Plans (PPP) which include objectives, behavioural 
assessments and training plans. During the year, 80% of eligible employees (those starting employment prior to 1 April 
2014) completed a PPP for the Australian business, 90% of employees for the Canadian business and 25% in Chile. We 
are in the process of appointing a human resources manager in Chile, which we hope will help to increase the number 
of performance plans for this region as well as further develop our in-country people systems and processes. 

Developing our frontline  

A  pilot  of  the  Frontline  First  supervisor  training  program  commenced  in  February  2014  in  Western  Australia.    The 
program incorporates a number of targeted modules catering for the specific needs of Emeco's frontline leaders.  This 
program  includes  modules  in  safety  leadership,  proactive  HSE  tasks,  maintenance  operations  management, 
communication skills, building and managing teams, contract management and performance management.   

Emeco nationally recognised training 

Working  with  a  Registered  Training  Organisation  (RTO)  in  Australia,  we  have  commenced  developing  in-house, 
nationally  recognised  training  and  assessments  in  Frontline  Management.  On  successful  completion  of  the  training, 
employees will receive a Certificate IV qualification which is recognised across the industry. This training is also helping 
to develop empowered Emeco leaders.  

H Turnover is defined as the number of employees leaving Emeco voluntarily and involuntarily. It is based on a rolling 12 month figure

We have established a Global Human Resources Forum focused on sharing best practice across the business in relation 
to our people systems, processes and practises. For example, our Canadian business has developed human resources 
profiles for strategically critical roles, such as project managers.  As the market becomes hyper-competitive in Australia, 
the skills of our customer facing people have become mission critical to our business. A key human resources initiative 
for Australia in FY15 is to develop profiles and role scorecards to ensure employees are aware of desired job outcomes, 
key accountabilities and performance measures, which will assist our people in their career pathways.

ENVIRONMENT 

Globally,  we  are  committed  to  responsible  environmental  practices  that  aim  to  reduce  any  adverse  environmental 
impacts  and  improve  the  economic  and  environmental  benefits  related  with  our  business  activities.  In  FY13,  we 
developed  and  implemented  a  monthly  sustainability  reporting  tool.  Over  the  past  two  years  the  tool  has  been 
streamlined  which  has  improved  the  consistency  and  efficiency  of  our  environmental  data  collection  and  reporting 
processes.  We  continue  to  inspect  and  monitor  work  areas  to  identify  environmental  risks  and  opportunities  for 
improvement. 

Water and waste water management 

In FY14, a number of  improvements were initiated in relation to waste  water management practices. Following are 
some examples of the steps taken: 

•  At our Rutherford workshop in New South Wales we have undertaken recalibration of our water/oil separator 

• 

and trained employees in the use of this equipment. 
The wash pad facility at our Guildford workshop in Western Australia was redesigned to ensure waste flows 
correctly into the waste oil area. This improvement was made after the successful redesign of the wash pad 
facility at our Mackay workshop in Queensland in FY13. 

•  Also  at  our  Guildford  workshop,  we  recently  completed  a  ground  hydrocarbon  study  and  report  on 
hydrocarbon soil contamination for the workshop and yard. This identified that our hydrocarbon management 
practises were effective in preventing soil and water table contamination.  

•  Across  Australia  we  installed  hydrocarbon  traps  in  all  drains  to  trap  any  hydrocarbon  contaminated  water 

entering after rain events at our workshops.  

These initiatives will help ensure increased water holding capacity, improved water recycling, improved safeguards to 
prevent hydrocarbon contamination of waterways and increased monitoring/sampling of hydrocarbon content across 
our Australian operations. 

In  FY14,  we  have  worked  towards  improving  our  reporting  approaches  and  continue  to  monitor  water  use  and 
management. We are working to improve water management practices across Emeco’s global operations in the future. 

Across our Australian operations we have invested in vehicles which have an extra quiet (XQ) specification. We offer 
these machines to our customers in an effort to reduce noise pollution in the areas where we operate. We currently 
have XQ vehicles operating at customer sites in Western Australia and New South Wales.

Energy efficiency initiatives 

Emeco continuously looks to implement initiatives that lessen the impact of our business activities on the environment.  

To improve our overall carbon footprint during FY14 we implemented a number of energy efficiency improvements in 
our offices and sites, including: 

• 

• 

• 

Trialling induction lighting and installing LED lights at our goods inward/outward shed in Guildford, Western 
Australia.  The  use  of  induction  and  LED  lighting  has  resulted  in  greater  energy  efficiencies  and  utility  cost 
savings for Emeco as induction lighting consumes approximately 50% of what a conventional lighting system 
consumes.  
Introducing  a  new  environmentally  friendly  cleaning  agent  to  our  parts  cleaning  process  at  our  Rutherford 
workshop in New South Wales.  
Identifying ways to reduce the impacts of our vehicles while in use at customer sites. In New South Wales we 
have installed LED lighting on all fleet vehicles to improve the overall energy efficiency of the vehicles. 

Due to the nature of our operations, hazardous waste is an area of concern globally. Emeco has strict guidelines on the 
safe  handling  and  disposal  of  environmental  waste  and  hydrocarbons  generated  by  our  operations.  We  engage 
approved suppliers to handle and dispose of environmental waste and hydrocarbons. In Australia we actively recycle, 
reuse and reduce the amount of thinners in our paint and blast facilities. This approach has substantially reduced waste 
solvents onsite and overall waste production and disposal costs. 

Incidents and spills 

No significant spills were reported by any of our operations in FY14. 

Energy and greenhouse gas emissions 

Emeco provides safe, reliable and well maintained earthmoving equipment solutions for mining across Australia, Canada 
and Chile. Due to the nature of our business our customers continue to have sole responsibility for reporting emissions 
associated  with  the  use  of  our  equipment.  Our  Australian  operations  fall  below  the  current  emissions  reporting 
thresholds  set  by  the  Australian  Government’s  National  Greenhouse  and  Energy  Reporting  legislation  and  Energy 
Efficiency Opportunities legislation and as such, we are not required to report greenhouse gas emissions or energy usage 
under either of the aforementioned legislations. Nonetheless, we track and report energy usage and greenhouse gas 
emissions information each year, for the prior financial year, through our voluntary submission to the Carbon Disclosure 
Project (CDP) www.cdproject.net. 

Our most recent CDP submission shows that our FY13 GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2) were 9,441 tCO2e (see table 23) 
which represented an increase of 25% on FY12 emissions. The increase in emissions was primarily due to the improved 
tracking of data in Chile as well as fleet fuel consumption which contributed to a 47% increase year-on-year in vehicle 
carbon emissions.  

In FY14, each region reported regularly on environmental data through our monthly sustainability reporting tool with 
the aim to improving the accuracy of our emissions  data allowing us to respond more effectively to identifying and 
managing trends. 

We  strive  for  continual  improvement  in  our  environmental  performance  in  ways  that  are  sustainable,  practical, 
meaningful  and  cost-effective.  We  remain  committed  to  identifying  and  monitoring  the  environmental  impacts  of 
Emeco’s  business  activities  and  continue  to  work  with  our  customers  to  mitigate  these  impacts,  improve  energy 
efficiencies, manage environmental risks and reduce overall emissions associated with our service offerings.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Corporate Governance Statement 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

This  Corporate  Governance  Statement  sets  out  the  extent  to  which  Emeco  has  followed  each  of  the  Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council 
(ASX Principles and Recommendations) during FY14. 

Principle 1 

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight  

Roles and responsibilities of the Board and Senior Executives 

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 Chair. 

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

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

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

evaluating and monitoring annual budgets and business plans; 

ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior executives; 

approving all accounting policies, financial reports and external communications by the Group; 

appointing, re-appointing or removing the Company’s external auditors (on recommendation from the audit and 
risk committee); and 

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

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

A copy of the Board Charter and the Company’s code of conduct is available on the Emeco website.  

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.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Corporate Governance Statement 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

The  Company  has  written  agreements  with  each  Director  and  Senior  Executive  setting  out  the  terms  of  their 
appointment. 

Evaluating the performance of 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 as at July was undertaken during FY14.  

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 

Board membership 

With the retirement of Mr Bishop effective from 30 June 2014, the Board is currently comprised of five Directors.  Of 
these, four, including the Chair, are independent Non-Executive 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 Lewsey, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.  

The table below sets out details of the status of each of the current Directors:

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; and

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

Director Selection 

The Board aims to achieve a mix of skills and diversity in its Members. Candidates recommended for appointment as 
new 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.  The Board 
has established the following criteria for the appointment of 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.  

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

Director 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. Messrs Alec Brennan and John Cahill will seek re-election at 
the 2014 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.

Corporate Governance Statement 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

The Company provides shareholders with the following material information in its possession relevant to a decision on 
whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director in its notice of meeting: 

• 

The Director’s biographical details, including relevant qualifications, skills and experience; 

•  Other material Directorships held by the Director; 

• 

The term of office currently served by the Director; 

•  Whether the Board considers the Director to be an independent Director; and 

•  Whether the Board supports the election or re-election of the Director. 

Board, Committee and Director Evaluation  

Generally,  a  review  of  the  performance  of  the  Board  is  completed  annually  by  the  chair  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 Chair and individual Directors. Directors’ questionnaire responses are collated and analysed 
by  the  chair  and  then  presented  to,  and  discussed  with,  the  Board.    A  performance  evaluation  for  the  Board,  its 
Committees, the Chair and individual Directors took place in FY14 in accordance with this process. 

Principle 3 

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making  

The  Company  considers  that  confidence  in  its  integrity  can  only  be  achieved  if  its  employees  and  officer’s  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, share trading policy, diversity policy, gifts and entertainment policy and 
whistle blower policy, which 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:

Corporate Governance Statement 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

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. 

The 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.

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,

The  Company’s  most  recent  gender  equality  indicators,  as  defined  in  and  published  under  the  Workplace  Gender 
Equality Act 2012, can be found in Emeco’s Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency Report, which is available on 
the Emeco website. 

The Gifts and Entertainment Policy  

The objective of the gifts and entertainment policy is to provide guidance to employees when offering or accepting gifts 
in order to:  

• 

• 

• 

protect the reputation of employees and the Company against allegations of improper behaviour;  

ensure that bribery and corruption laws are not breached; and 

demonstrate the Company’s commitment to treating all parties impartially. 

A copy of the gift policy is available on the Emeco website. 

The Whistle Blower Policy 

The objective of the whistle blower policy is to encourage employees to report misconduct without reprisal, dismissal 
or victimisation. The policy establishes processes for managing and investigating such reports to ensure misconduct is 
identified and appropriately dealt with.  The policy affords the whistle blower anonymity and protection against penalty 
or personal disadvantage. 

A copy of the whistle blower policy is available on the Emeco website. 

Principle 4 

Safeguard integrity of financial reporting  

Audit and Risk Committee 

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 in connection with: 

• 

• 

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  FY14,  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 (Chair), Mr Bishop, Mr Brennan and Mr Richards.  
The qualifications of the Audit and Risk Committee Members are set out at pages 43 to 45 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 FY14, the Audit and Risk Committee held five meetings.  Each Committee Member’s attendance at these meetings is 
set out at page 46.  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.

Corporate Governance Statement

External auditor 

The Company’s external auditor is KPMG.  Mr Graham Hogg is the lead audit partner for KPMG in relation to the audit 
of the Company.  Mr Hogg was first appointed as the lead partner responsible for Emeco for the 30 June 2014 year end 
audit.  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.   

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. 

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 FY14.  This independence declaration forms part of the Directors’ report and is provided on page 48 of this 
annual report. 

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

The  Board  has  considered  the  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  by  the  auditor  and  is  satisfied  that  the 
provision of 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 Group 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 Group, acting as an advocate for 
the Group or jointly sharing the risks and rewards. 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its network firms, for audit and non-audit services 
provided during the year are found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. 

Principle 5 

Make timely and balanced disclosure  

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

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

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

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

Principle 6 

Respect the rights of shareholders  

The  Company  has  designed  and  implemented  an  investor  relations  program  through  its  adoption  of  a  formal 
communications policy which describes the processes and systems implemented by the Company to facilitate effective 
two-way communication between the Company, its shareholders and investors. The communications policy is available 
on the Emeco website.   

The Company acknowledges the importance of effective communication with its shareholders. The Company provides 
information about itself and its governance via its website. All public announcements are 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 chair’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 external 
auditor with notice of general meetings of the Company, as required by section 249K of the Corporations Act 2001, and 
ensures that its external auditor 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  

Risk management policy 

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. In respect of FY14, the review of the risk 
management policy was deferred and, therefore, was not reviewed.  This was due to the pending commencement of 
the new Chief Financial Officer on 1 July 2014.

Internal assurance  

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 FY14, 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. 

Principle 8 

Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Committee is currently comprised of three 
independent Non-Executive Directors. Details regarding membership of the Committee are set out under Principle 2.   

Each Member’s attendance at the three meetings held by the Committee in FY14 is set out at page 46. 

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.

Corporate Governance Statement 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

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 
FY14 is included in the Directors’ Report on pages 43 to 67. 

The  Company  has  an  equity-based  remuneration  scheme  (see  section  3.3.2  of  the  remuneration  report  for  more 
information) and, through its share trading policy, prohibits participants from entering into transactions which limit the 
economic risk of participating in the scheme.  A summary of the share trading policy is set out on page 37.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors 

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

Since the end of the previous financial year, the Company has paid premiums in respect of contracts insuring current 
and former officers of the Emeco Group, including Executives, against liabilities incurred by such an officer to the extent 
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contracts of insurance prohibit disclosure of the nature of the liability cover 
and the amount of the premium. 

The Group has not indemnified its auditor, KPMG. 

Non-audit services 

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

The  Board  has  considered  the  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  by  the  auditor  and  is  satisfied  that  the 
provision of 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 Group 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 Group, acting as an advocate for 
the Group or jointly sharing the risks and rewards. 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its network firms, for audit and non-audit services 
provided during the year are found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. 

Lead auditor’s independence declaration 

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set 
out on page 67 and forms part of the Directors’ report. 

Rounding off 

The amounts contained in the Financial Report have  been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (unless otherwise stated) 
under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998. The Company is an entity 
to which the Class Order applies.

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 and 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 FY14 were Mr Alec Brennan (Chair), Mr John Cahill 
and Ms Erica Smyth.

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 31:  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 
complementary to the strategic direction of the Company. 

resources  policies  and  practices  are  consistent  and 

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.  

The level of remuneration is set to enable the Company to attract and retain proven performers once they are working 
within the business. An Executive’s responsibilities, experience, qualifications, performance and geographic location are 
also taken into account.  

Fixed  remuneration  for  Executives  has  previously  been  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.

However, the fixed remuneration of the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kenneth Lewsey, is 
7.5% lower than that of his predecessor, Mr Keith Gordon, and the fixed remuneration of the new Chief Financial Officer, 
Mr Greg Hawkins (appointed 1 July 2014), is 20% lower than that of his predecessor, Mr Stephen Gobby. 

3.3 

Variable remuneration 

Variable remuneration is performance linked remuneration which consists of short term incentives (STIs) and long term 
incentives (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 total fixed remuneration (TFR) for each Executive is shown in the following table:

Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

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 32 above for 
details).   

For the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, STI entitlements are made 25% in equity and 75% in cash. Any 
equity awards are subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. 

For all other Executives, STI entitlements are made in cash up to the maximum STI cash component of TFR. Any STI 
entitlements above the maximum STI cash component are made in equity. 

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

In respect of FY14, STI entitlements made in equity are based on the Company’s June 2014 VWAP. For the Managing 
Director and Chief Executive Officer, STI entitlements made in equity will be issued after its approval at the Company’s 
2014 annual general meeting and are escrowed for a period of two years until the announcement of the Company’s 
annual results in 2016. For all other Executives, the grant of the shares is deferred to, and is subject to the Executive 
remaining employed by the Group the day after the announcement of Emeco’s annual results in 2015. 

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. 

Table 33 below sets out the KPIs for the FY14 STI plan and the weightings attributable to each of them. In the Board’s 
view, these KPIs align the reward of Executives with the interests of shareholders.

LTI remuneration 

Performance Shares and Performance Rights 

Emeco has established an equity-based LTI plan that provides for a reward that varies with Company performance over 
a three year period (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 FY14, 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 FY14, Emeco Executives who were resident outside Australia were issued performance rights instead of performance 
shares due to the complexity and cost of 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 FY14 LTI plan (and the FY13 and FY12 LTI plans) is 
based on the relative total shareholder return (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 FY14 LTI grant, the Peer Group comprised a total of 99 companies from the S&P/ASX Small Industrials 
(excluding  banks,  insurance  companies,  property  trusts/companies  and  investment  property  trusts/companies  and 
other stapled securities) as set out in the table below.  18 companies that were considered direct peers to Emeco are 
shaded.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

At the end of the Vesting Period, the TSR for each company in the Peer Group, and 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).  

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:  

Table 35:  TSR vesting schedule 

Percentile Rank 

50% or lower 

Percentage of LTI Securities that Vest 

Nil 

Between 50% and 75% 

50% plus 2% for each Percentile Rank over 50%  

75% or higher 

100% 

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. 

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 awards are linked to the achievement of financial measures of the Company’s profitability 
and cash generating performance, and non-financial measures of operational and strategic outcomes. LTI awards are 
linked to total shareholder return relative to a comparator group of similar companies.

Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

Details of the KPIs for the FY14 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 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.  In FY14, the STI awards 
increased slightly from FY13 due to safety, personal goals and the sale of idle assets KPIs being met - EBITDA, NPAT and 
OCF KPIs were not met in FY14. Details of these KPIs are set out above in section 3.3.1. 

Details of the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth are set out in the following table:

In FY14, the primary focus of the Company was to strengthen its balance sheet, exit the under-performing Indonesian 
business and improve utilisation through new projects and the disposal of idle fleet.  Strategic achievements over FY14 
were executed to drive the Emeco business through this current downturn in the Australian market and position the 
business for future growth, and hence greater shareholder returns. 

The Company’s share price declined significantly in 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, which resulted in a complete vesting of LTI Securities. 
During FY12 the Company’s share price peaked at $1.18 and ended the financial year at 87 cents, which led to a partial 
vesting of LTI Securities.  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  and  FY14,  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 and 20 cents on 30 June 2013 and 
30 June 2014 respectively. No LTI Securities vested following the Company’s performance in FY13. This highlights the 
genuinely challenging nature of the LTI KPI.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

The  Company’s  dividend  policy  (which  was  amended  in  FY12)  is  to  pay  shareholders  between  40%  and  60%  of  the 
Company’s profit (Net Profit After Tax), franked to the fullest extent possible.  As the business achieved a net loss in 
FY14 no dividends were declared or paid.    

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. 

4. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

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 FY14, 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. 

In May 2014, the Board resolved to reduce the fixed remuneration for Non-Executive Directors by 20% with effect from 
1 July 2014.

The minimum STI value for each KMP is zero. 
These awards are in respect of FY14 and were approved on 13 August 2014 and 20 August 2014 based on the achievement of KPIs.  
Amounts forfeited were due to KPIs not being met. 
Mr Keith Gordon and Ms Kellie Benda had no FY14 STI entitlements. Mr Benny Joesoep had no FY14 STI entitlements as an Executive. See 
notes to Table 32.  
Mr Lewsey’s FY14 STI bonus entitlement was not pro-rated in accordance with the terms and conditions of his employment contract. Mr 
Lewsey’s STI equity award is subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. 
Mr Anthony Halls ceased his role as an Executive on 17 February 2014. Mr Halls was not entitled to his FY14 STI entitlements. 
Mr Christopher Hayman’s remuneration has been converted to Australian dollars on the basis of an AUD/CAD exchange rate of 0.98229. 

The STI grants awarded to Executives in FY14 reflect the significant amount of work undertaken by the Executives to 
achieve the Company’s objectives, particularly in respect of strategy, the debt refinance, the sale of idle assets and the 
closure of the Indonesian business. 

In respect of FY15, in order for the Executives to be awarded any STI payment, Emeco’s FY15 EBITDA must be at least 
that achieved in FY14.

The minimum value of each grant is zero. 
For  LTI  Securities  granted  in  FY12,  FY13  and  FY14  the  earliest  vesting  date  is  the  twentieth  trading  day  after  the  announcement  of  the 
Company’s annual results in 2014, 2015 and 2016 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 38) is the portion 
of the fair value of the LTI Securities recognised in FY14. 
Mr Lewsey was entitled to receive LTI Securities in FY14 subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. As 
this approval had not been sought as at 30 June 2014, these LTI Securities have not been issued or included in the table above. 
Mr Keith Gordon ceased employment with Emeco on 4 November 2013. Accordingly, all unvested LTI Securities granted to Mr 
Gordon were forfeited in accordance with the terms of the respective grants. 
Ms Kellie Benda commenced her role as KMP on 24 February 2014. 
Mr Anthony Halls ceased employment with Emeco on 21 March 2014. Accordingly, all unvested LTI Securities granted to Mr 
Halls were forfeited in accordance with the terms of the respective grants. 
Mr Benny Joesoep commenced his role as KMP on 9 December 2013, after the FY14 LTI grant date.  The number of performance rights 
granted to Mr Joesoep in respect of the FY14 LTI grant was $0.18 per right, which was the value of the LTI Securities issued to non-KMP. Mr 
Joesoep  ceased  employment  on  13  May  2014  due  to  retrenchment.  Accordingly,  Mr  Joesoep’s  FY14  LTI Securities  were  tested  as  at  his 
termination date and a portion of them vested.

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 42:  TSR Vesting Schedule 

Vesting Date

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. 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.   

During FY14 two 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 below:

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

1  Reporting entity 

Emeco Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is 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  2014  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 20 August 2014. 

(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; and 
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 
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually 
for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be 
impaired. Other assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The 
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, in accordance with 
the Company’s accounting policy note 3(h)(ii).  For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped 
at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

For the year ended 30 June 2014 

2  Basis of preparation (continued) 

(d) 

Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 
Recognition of tax losses 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for deferred taxes (refer note 3(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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2014 

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. 

(a)  
(i)  

(ii) 

(b)  
(i)  

(ii)  

Basis of consolidation 
Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has 
the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated 
financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which 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 and financial liabilities recognition and derecognition 
The  Group  initially  recognises  loans  and  receivables  and  deposits  and  debt  securities  issued  on  the  date 
when they are originated.  All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised initially on the 
trade date.  

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.  

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

Non-derivative  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recognition  and  de-recognition 
(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. 

(ii)   Non-derivative financial assets - measurement 

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. 

(iii)  Non-derivative financial liabilities - measurement 

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 cost using the effective 
interest  rate  method  unless  the  Group  has  applied  fair  value  hedging,  in  which  case  amortised  cost  is 
adjusted to reflect the movement in the fair value of the underlying hedge item.  This adjustment is recorded 
in the statement of profit and 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. 

(iv)   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 generally recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued) 

(c)  
(iv)   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.

Financial instruments (continued) 
Share capital 
Ordinary shares 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares 
net of any tax effects are recognised as a deduction from equity. 

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 shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes 
directly  attributable  costs,  net  of  any  tax  effects,  is  recognised  as  a  deduction  from  equity.  Repurchased 
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.    In  certain  specific 
contracts, depreciation methodology on some items of plant and equipment are reassessed in line with their 
effective lives.  In these situations, depreciation is recognised in line with the pattern of economic benefits 
expected  to  be  consumed.  For  plant  and  equipment  that  is  idle  for  under  3  months,  no  depreciation  is 
charged.  Depreciation on plant and equipment that  is idle for  more than 3  months is  calculated on 100 
machine hours per month.   

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

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

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.

(iii)  Amortisation 

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

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

(cid:1) 

Software 

0 – 3 years 

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 
Financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are assessed at each reporting date to 
determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. 

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes: 

•  default or delinquency by a debtor; 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group 

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; 
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers; 
the disappearance of an active market for a security; or 

of financial assets. 

For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged 
decline in its fair value below its cost. The Group considers a decline of 20% to be significant and a period of 
nine months to be prolonged.

(i)  

Impairment (continued) 
Non-derivative financial assets (continued) 
Financial assets measured at amortised cost 
The Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets measured at both an individual asset and a 
collective level.  All individually significant assets are individually assessed for specific impairment.  Those 
found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not 
yet  individually  identified.    Assets  that  are  not  individually  significant  are  collectively  assessed  for 
impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics.  

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the 
amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that 
the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.  

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s 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. When the Group considers that there are 
no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of the 
impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring 
after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through 
profit or loss.  

(ii)   Non-financial assets  

At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying  amounts  of  its  non-financial  assets  (other  than 
inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such 
indication  exists,  then  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is  estimated.  Goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment. 

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash 
inflows  from  continuing  use  that  are  largely  independent  of  the  cash  inflows  of  other  assets  or  CGUs. 
Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or 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. 

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to 
sell.  Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset or CGU. 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.  They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of 
any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU 
on a pro rata basis.  

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.  For other assets, 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 fully impaired at 31 December 2013 as part of the Group’s process of testing goodwill 
for impairment, when impairment triggers were present. 

(i) 

Assets held for sale  
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is 
highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. 

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value 
less  costs  to  sell.  Any  impairment  loss  on  a  disposal  group  is  allocated  first  to  goodwill,  and  then  to  the 
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 which continue to be measured in accordance with the 
Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent 
gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. 

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised 
or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. 

(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. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they 
arise. 

(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.

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)  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 
corresponding 
in  equity,  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become 
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. 

(c) 

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 99 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.  

(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.

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. 

(f) 

A  short  term  incentive  (STI)  plan  allows  the  Executive  Leadership  Team  to  receive  shares  of  the 
Company upon satisfying performance conditions. This is determined at the end of each financial year 
based on the Executive’s performance. The performance conditions related to KPIs include EBITDA, 
Group Net Profit After Tax, Operating Cash Flow, Sale of Idle Assets, Safety and Personal Goals. 

For the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, STI entitlements are made 25% in equity and 
75% in cash with shares issued after their approval at the announcement of the Company’s annual 
general meeting in the financial year that they relate to and are escrowed until the announcement of 
the Company’s annual results two financial years after the financial year to which it relates.  

For all other Executives, STI entitlements are made in cash up to the maximum STI cash component, 
with the remainder made in equity. The equity component is subject to a service vesting condition of 
the Executive remaining employed by the Group, and  will vest the day after the announcement of 
Emeco’s annual results one financial year after the financial year to which it relates.  

The  fair  value  of  the  performance  shares  granted  under  the  STIP  have  been  measured  and  are 
expensed in the financial year the STIP relates to. 

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.  In  certain  specific  contracts,  Emeco 
recognises revenue when it is legally enforceable on another basis that reflects the services performed. 

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.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(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 
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include: 

• 
interest income; 
• 
interest expense; 
•  dividend income; 
•  dividends on preference shares issued classified as financial liabilities; 
• 
• 

the net gain or loss on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets; 
the net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

the fair value loss on contingent consideration classified as financial liability; 
impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables); 
the net gain or loss on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss;  
the reclassification of net gains previously recognised in OCI; and 
amortisation of borrowing costs capitalised using the effective interest method 

Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised 
in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established. 

(o)  

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

(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.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(o)  

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

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. 

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, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at 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 coordinated  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 2013, 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. 

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)  

(ii)  

(iii)  

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. 

Intangible assets 
The fair value of contract intangibles 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  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. 

(iv)  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.

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(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 or financial 
asset 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:

Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk (continued) 

Trade and other receivables 
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, 
Management  also  considers  the  demographics  of  the  Group’s  customer  base,  including  the  default  risk  of  the 
industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.  The Group 
sets individual counter party limits and where possible insures its rental income within Australia, Indonesia, 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  $750,000,000  (2013: 
$750,000,000).  The Australian and Chilean businesses held insurance for the entire financial year ended 30 June 
2014. The Indonesian business held credit insurance from 1 July 2013 to 30 November 2013. 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 2014 the Group’s doubtful debts provision for continuing and discontinued operations was $5,191,000 
(2013: $16,770,000). The change in provision for doubtful debts was $11,579,000 during the financial year primarily 
due to following: 

• 

• 

$9,020,000 related to a customer in Indonesia where the Company received $7,900,000 from credit insurance 
with the remainder written off as a bad debt; and 
$2,462,000 represents the reversal of doubtful debts due to customers who became insolvent in Australia and 
Canada totalling $1,675,000 and $787,000 respectively. 

As at 30 June 2014 the Group recognised bad debt write-offs for continuing and discontinued operations for a total 
amount  of  $14,116,000  (2013:  $2,053,000)  of  which  $11,052,000  related  to  two  customers  in  the  Indonesian 
business  and  $1,675,000  and  $787,000  related  to  one  customer  in  the  Australian  business  and  the  Canadian 
business respectively. $602,000 related to the impairment of a USA debtor fully provided for in the previous period.  
$2,537,000 was provided for as doubtful debts at 30 June 2014.  

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 $41,830,000 at 30 June 2014 (2013: $5,754,000), 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 2014 the Group held $Nil of bank 
guarantees (2013: $Nil) and $Nil of prepayments (2013: $300,000). 

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 2014 $866,013 guarantees 
were outstanding (2013: $75,000). 

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 represents 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.

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)  and  Chilean  Peso 
(CLP). 

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. 

In March 2014 the Group issued US$335,000,000 of notes in the 144A high yield market of which US$110,000,000 
and US$100,000,000 were swapped into AUD and CAD respectively 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 2014 is generally offset by financial assets denominated in the same 
currency providing an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into. However, due to timing delays the 
Group is still in the process of hedging its US$50,000,000 exposure, which is expected to be completed in FY15. 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 2014 would 
foreign  currency  and 
have  affected  the  measurement  of 
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 2013, 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 cross currency interest rate swaps and the issue of fixed interest notes.

The Group classifies its debt related derivatives into the category of 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 a portion of its fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as 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.

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.  

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 
increase levels of cash held to maintain a strong capital position.   

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 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 (2013: $Nil).  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 $18,861,000 (2013: $29,391,000) franking credits.

14  Discontinued operations 

In  May  2014  the  Board  resolved  to  exit  the  Indonesian  business  after  a  strategic  review  of  the  operations.  The 
Board’s decision to close this business was to address the underperformance in returns being generated combined 
with the unfavourable conditions in the Indonesian mining industry.

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 

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  services  to 
customers who are predominately within Canada. 

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

Indonesia 
(Discontinued) 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Indonesia.  This segment was discontinued in May 2014. 

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.

Impairment loss 
For the interim period ended 31 December 2013, impairment testing indicated the Australian and Canadian Rental 
CGU’s  were  impaired.  The  deterioration  in  the  business  over  the  FY14  interim  period  due  to  the  challenging 
external environment, including lower margins, increased volatility in the mining sector and the expectation that 
these factors would be sustained for a period of time caused the Group to assess the recoverable amount of its 
rental assets.   

The  Group  determined  the  recoverable  amount  of  its  rental  assets  by  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis. 
Determining recoverable amount requires the exercise of significant judgements for both internal and external 
factors. Judgements for external factors, including but not limited to foreign exchange, equipment hire rates and 
utilisation, have been made with reference to historical data and observable market data using a combination of 
consensus  views.  The  recoverable  amount  estimate  is  particularly  sensitive  to  hire  rates  and  utilisation  rates. 
Judgements for internal factors, including but not limited to applicable discount rate and operating costs, have 
been made with reference to historical data and forward looking business plans. Changes in the long term view of 
both internal and external judgements may impact the estimated recoverable value. 

As a result a total goodwill impairment charge of $157,887,000 was recognised for the interim period ended 31 
December 2013 (Australian CGU: $151,744,000, Canadian CGU $6,143,000). The impairment charge is included in 
the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the financial year ended 30 
June 2014 (page 70). Refer to note 2(d). 

The  Group  has  determined  the  recoverable  amount  of  its  cash  generating  units  (CGU)  using  a  value  in  use 
methodology (June 2013: 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 Indonesian and Chile Rental CGU’s have nil goodwill, impairment testing has been performed for 
these CGUs. 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 31 December 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 7.6% and 12.0% (2013: 9.2% and 12.8%). For future 
cashflows of each CGU, revenue growth to the remainder of FY14 for each 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  14.6%  and  negative  2.9%  (2013:  0.5%  and  1.0%).    The  negative  CAGR  of 
14.6% relates to the Indonesian CGU which disposed $17.8 million of rental fleet assets over the half year ended 
31 December 2013, reducing forecast revenue growth for this business. The CAGR range excludes the Chilean CGU 
given its full first year of operation will be FY14. 

Refer to note 22 for further information on the impairment testing methodology adopted by the Company at 30 
June 2014.

Impairment tests for cash generating units 
The  Group  has  determined  the  recoverable  amount  of  its  cash  generating  units  (CGU)  using  a  value  in  use 
methodology (2013: 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 intangible assets, 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 2014. 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 6.9% and 10.6% (2013: 9.2% and 12.8%). 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 2.4% and 12.3% (2013: negative 0.5% and 1.0%).  The upper end of the 
range represents forecast revenue growth in Chile underpinned by the recently announced project win which is 
expected to utilise over 60% of the Chilean fleet for a 5 year period.  

30 June 2014 impairment testing which resulted in the estimated recoverable amount of a CGU exceeding its 
carrying amount are as follows: 

Australian rental 
Canada rental 
Chile rental 

Amount by which CGU recoverable 
amount exceeds its carrying amount 
 (in $ millions) 
103.2 
115.9 
14.9 

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:

Covenant Amendment 
On 22 October 2013 the Group announced to the market amendments to the Group’s senior secured syndicated 
loan  facility.  Amendments  apply  for  the  period  22  October  2013  to  30  June  2014.  After  30  June  2014  the 
covenants were to revert to the original levels.  

Current and amended ratios were as follows:  

Gearing (Gross Debt: EBITDA(1) ) 

Interest Cover (EBITDA: Net Interest Expense(2)) 

(1)  Rolling 12 month trailing Operating EBITDA 
(2)  Rolling 12 month trailing Net Interest Expense

All other key terms of the bank debt facility, including pricing, remained unchanged and the Group retained full 
access to the bank debt facility. Emeco did not incur any fees or charges from providers of the bank debt facility 
in relation with this amendment.   

On  17  March  2014,  the  Group  repaid  the  secured  syndicated  debt  facility  and  USPP  Notes  by  issuing 
US$335,000,000 of 144A Notes in the High Yield market. The covenants outlined above no longer apply. 

144A notes issue 
Under the terms of the note agreement, the noteholders hold a joint fixed and floating charge with the syndicated 
bank group over the assets and undertakings of the Group. In March 2014, the Group issued secured fixed interest 
notes  in  the  144A  High  Yield  Bond  market  comprising  US$335,000,000  which  matures  on  17  May  2019.  The 
nominal interest rate is 9.875%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity.  Of the notes, US$166,900,000 
is  measured  at  amortised  cost.  The  remaining  notes  are  also  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  are  subject  to 
adjustment for the impact of fair value movements on the hedged risk.  The Group designated derivatives (cross 
currency interest rate swaps) as hedge instruments against this underlying debt.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Emeco Holdings Limited     

Report on the financial report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Emeco Holdings Limited (the Company), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, and 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, 
notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory 
information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities 
it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the 
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to 
enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due 
to fraud or error. In note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements of the 
Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We 
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing 
Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit 
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
report is free from material misstatement.  

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, 
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether 
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial 
report.  

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report 
presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting 
Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s 
financial position and of its performance.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our audit opinion.

(“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

(a) the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:   

(i) 

(ii) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as  
at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

2001. 

(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
disclosed in note 2(a).  

Report on the remuneration report

June 2014. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of 
the remuneration report in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted 
in accordance with auditing standards.
