Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

We are pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for financial year 2015/2016 (FY16). 

Improved earnings performance despite poor market conditions 

Emeco improved its operating performance over FY16, combining increased utilisation with cost reduction initiatives, 
to deliver a turnaround in earnings after several years of decline. Despite conditions deteriorating further in the markets 
in which Emeco operates over the past 12 months, management generated improved performance through growth of 
market  share  in  Australia,  proactively  restructuring  the  Canada  operations  to  minimise  value  leakage,  improving 
operating  utilisation  in  Chile  and  driving  efficiency  gains  across  the  business.  Importantly,  the  business  evidenced 
significantly improved operating performance over the second half of the previous financial year. 

Operating  conditions  weakened  in  Canada,  driven  by  the  oil  price  falling  from  approximately  US$60/barrel  at  the 
commencement of FY16 to a low of close to US$25/barrel in January 2016. This resulted in a substantially lower volume 
of winter works impacting first half FY16, while the last six months in Canada was adversely affected by the bushfire 
natural disaster which shut down the oil sands industry for two months. The Company responded to the challenging 
conditions in Canada by right-sizing the business and entering into a strategic asset  sharing partnership  with Heavy 
Metal Equipment Rentals (HMER). An unexpected change in a major customers mine plan in Chile significantly impacted 
its operating utilisation over March and April 2016. 

The Company has been well led by Ian Testrow, who as Managing Director, is driving a focus on improving operational 
efficiency across the business and instilling a culture of identifying innovative solutions for Emeco and our customers. 
This  is  evident  from  our  partnership  in  Chile,  the  asset  sharing  arrangement  with  HMER  in  Canada,  the  asset  swap 
executed in Canada and the strategic relationship with The Red Button Group.  

The business ended the year with net debt of $365.4 million, being a $48.5 million decrease on the prior year. This 
achievement was driven by strong cash flow management and a reduction in gross debt with the purchase of bonds on 
market. This was affected in the first half of FY16 through the partial closure of interest rate swaps to execute an on-
market purchase of US$52.3 million face value of our 144A bonds.  Year-end cash of $24.8 million was only $3.0 million 
down on the prior year as a result of working capital release, disposals and improved earnings.  

Safety and sustainability 

Similar to FY15, the challenges faced over FY16 have not impacted Emeco’s efforts in maintaining our commitment to 
our people, the environment and the community.  The  Company continues to adopt safety practices of the highest 
standard.  Cost  reduction  initiatives  have  not  diminished  our  commitment  to  safety  or  sustainability  processes  or 
procedures.  Overall, our LTIFR reduced 42% to 1.1, while our TRIFR decreased 25% to 5.6, which are pleasing trends. 

Emeco’s workforce composition was heavily influenced by the current market conditions in which we operate. Both the 
Australian  and  Canadian  workforce  saw  significant  changes  as  the  business  was  right-sized  to  reflect  our  current 
operating  conditions.  Overall  our  employee  numbers  reduced  to  254  (from  336),  reflecting  the  market,  but  Emeco 
continues to work on the development and retention of our personnel. 

Refer to our website for Emeco’s FY16 Sustainability Report and details on our safety and sustainability achievements 
over the year.   

Focus on operational excellence and cash management 

Heading into FY17 the focus remains on further driving efficiency gains in the business and maintaining tight capital 
management. Project Fit phase 2 initiatives implemented over FY16 will continue to drive margin improvements in FY17, 
while improved operating utilisation in Australia and the HMER arrangement in Canada are expected to stabilise revenue 
compared to FY16. Building on the success of Project Fit, management is now focused on operational excellence and 
seeking  opportunities  to  reduce  our  cost  base  further  through  smarter  fleet  management  solutions  and  efficiency 
improvements.

The board is pleased with Emeco’s progress over FY16, in particular the improved earnings and minimal cash out flow 
achieved despite continuing market weakness. The business will continue to build on its accomplishments over the past 
12 months and the earnings run rate into FY17 indicates further revenue improvements are likely. 

Finally, the board would like to extend its appreciation of the efforts of Alec Brennan who retired during the year after 
ten  years  as  Chairman.  Alec  steered  Emeco  through  the  transition  from  a  privately  held  company  to  a  listed  global 
enterprise and presided resolutely over the past few years of extreme volatility in our markets. We wish him all the best 
in his retirement.

Managing Director’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

In the past year we have made significant progress in reducing our costs, increasing our customer focus and service level 
and  evolving  our  rental  value  proposition  through  the  use  of  the  Emeco  Operating  System  (EOS)  technology.    I  am 
especially proud of our significant improved safety performance with our TRIFR decreasing from 7.5 at the end of FY15 
to  5.6  at  the  end  of  FY16.  The  improvements  in  FY16  were  driven  by  our  employees’  commitment,  creativity  and 
resilience. I would like to thank the Emeco team for all of their hard work. 

Progress on turnaround 

Emeco  improved  its  earnings  and  profitability  in  FY16.   This  was  driven  by  cost  reductions  and  the  Emeco  team’s 
determination to provide our customers quality service regardless of the market conditions. 

In  FY16  we  achieved  a  sustainable  annual  cost  reduction  run  rate  of  $26.7m.  Going  into  FY17,  our  continuous 
improvement focus moves to “Operational Excellence”. We are excited about the opportunities to create further savings 
in labour productivity, extending component life, alternate component sourcing, optimising inventory and improving 
logistics.  

Emeco  ended FY16 with an operating EBITDA of $54.2  million (up $10.8 million on FY15 operating EBITDA of  $43.4 
million) and an operating net loss after tax of $90.5 million. Continued weakness in the markets in which Emeco operates 
resulted  in  the  business  recognising  tangible  asset  impairments  totalling  $179.6  million  over  the  year,  primarily  in 
Canada. 

Average group operating utilisation for FY16 of 44% was slightly lower than the FY15 average of 46%. This decrease was 
a result of a significant drop in Canada utilisation, offset by improvements in Australia. Excluding Canada, operating 
utilisation averaged 50% for FY16. 

Increasing our overall earnings in FY16 against the backdrop of the Canadian business’ drop in earnings, continued weak 
operating utilisation and low rental rates is a testament to Emeco’s ability to operate in challenging market conditions. 
Cost discipline and senior management focus on customers and operational performance has Emeco well placed to 
outperform  the  industry  in  the  current  environment  and  generate  significantly  improved  returns  when  the  market 
eventually recovers.     

Strategic achievements across the business 

The Australian business improved average operating utilisation over FY16 to 50%, which was lead primarily by growth 
in both New South Wales and Queensland.  

The New South Wales business continues to remain the strongest of the Australian business units with FY16 operating 
utilisation  of  59%.   Queensland  continued  its  strong  recovery  from  a  low  during  2014  with  a  number  of  projects 
commencing late in FY15 driving improved operating utilisation.  Although the market in Western Australia continues 
to be challenged, we recently installed the EOS technology at Evolution Mining’s Mungari operation. The initial success 
of EOS at Mungari suggests our fully maintained EOS supported rental model is well suited to gold projects. Our WA 
business development team is working hard to win additional projects utilising this model.  

The focus for our Australian business in FY17 will be increasing operating utilisation, utilising our EOS technology to 
assist  our  customers  achieve  improved  equipment  productivity  and  reducing  costs  through  the  implementation  of 
operational excellence initiatives.  

The  Canadian  business  was  severely  impacted  by  falling  oil  prices.  In  response  to  the  deteriorating  conditions, 
management restructured the business by forming a partnership with Heavy Metals Equipment Rentals, which allowed 
the  companies  to  combine  fleet  resources  whilst  significantly  reducing  overheads.   This  business  returned  to  cash 
positive in Q4 and is now well placed for stabilisation in FY17.

In Chile, AMSA temporarily suspended the development of the Encuentro mine and relocated our fleet to the existing 
Esperanza operations.  Although the fleet shift to Esperanza hampered Chile’s FY16 performance due to the slow ramp 
up, the fleet is expected to be relocated back to Encuentro during third quarter FY17, which effectively increases our 
five year project by an additional 12 months.  

Tight capital management  

Net debt decreased by $48.5 million to $365.4 million over FY16 as a result of the company purchasing US$52.3 million 
of bonds on market. The effect on net debt as a result of the bond purchase was offset by depreciation in the AUD 
increasing the underlying value of the bonds.  

Following the on market purchase of bonds, Emeco’s debt structure consists of US$282.7 million of 144A bonds due 
March 2019 and the asset backed loan (ABL) expiring in December 2017 (see page 12 for further details). At 30 June 
2016 the ABL was undrawn with the exception of $11.5 million of bank guarantees utilised against the facility. Emeco’s 
cash balance fell marginally to $24.8 million at 30 June 2016, down from $27.8 million  at the start of the reporting 
period.  

Operational excellence and a continued focus on innovative solutions for customers 

The benefits of our cost reductions over FY16 will result in a more profitable business from the outset of FY17.  During 
the year ahead our strategy is focused on continuing to increase operating utilisation, whilst reducing costs through our 
operational excellence initiatives and create additional project sites through the value of EOS technology. 

We continue to expect consolidation and rationalisation in the sector if there is no recovery in the market over the near 
term. Our improved operating performance and capital management positions us well to evaluate these opportunities 
as they arise. We remain conservative in our approach to capital management and continue to assess opportunities to 
deleverage the business.

Tangible  asset  impairments:  Over  FY16  impairment  testing  indicated  the  Australia,  Chile  and  Canada  CGUs  were  impaired  which 
resulted  in  an  impairment  of  $173.8  million  being  recognised.  Additionally,  net  impairments  totalling  $5.8  million  were  recognised 
across the business on assets held for sale and subsequently disposed during the period. A small number of held for sale assets were 
reclassified to the rental fleet in Australia to source growth in New South Wales and Queensland businesses, resulting in reversal of 
impairments recognised in prior reporting periods.  
Redundancies: Redundancies in FY16 resulted in a one off cost totalling $3.4 million before tax. 
Long-term incentive program: During FY16 Emeco recognised $1.7 million of non-cash expenses relating to the employee long-term 
incentive plan. 

-  One-off corporate development expenses: During FY16 Emeco undertook corporate development activities which resulted in one off 

costs totalling $2.5 million before tax. 

-  Accelerated amortisation of borrowing costs: Accelerated amortisation related to the borrowing costs associated with the repurchase 

of US$52.3 million face value 144A notes.

FLEET HAS CAPACITY FOR INCREASED EARNINGS 

Average utilisation improved from 69% in FY15 to 77% in FY16 driving earnings growth in Australia (NSW and QLD) and 
Chile. The increase in these three regions was however offset by weakening market conditions in Canada and Western 
region.  

Operating utilisation declined over FY16 with the deterioration of the Canada business. Excluding Canada, operating 
utilisation improved from 47% in FY15 to 50% in FY16.  

Given historical operating utilisation has been above 65%, the Emeco fleet remains underutilised. Given our lower cost 
base there is potential for significant earnings growth as the market recovers.

Group operating revenue from continuing operations reduced in FY16 to $208.0 million (2015: $242.8 million).  Rental 
revenue was down to $177.7 million (2015: $206.7 million) as a result of the reduced contribution from the Canada 
business and sustained pressure on rental rates in Australia and Chile.  Maintenance services revenue decreased 
26.9% to $23.3 million (2015: $31.9 million) primarily driven by the completion of the Saracen contract in Western 
Australia.  Sale of parts and machines increased in FY16 to $5.5 million, up from $2.8 million in FY15 attributable to 
rationalisation of inventory balances. 

The successful implementation of Project Fit initiatives were the key drivers for an increase in Operating EBITDA margins 
from 17.9% in FY15 to 26.1% in FY16. EBITDA margin recovery improved operating return on capital (ROC) to negative 
2.7% in FY16 (FY15: negative 9.4%).

Project Fit initiatives reduced total operating expenses by 23.7% (excluding tangible asset impairments) from $208.6 
million in FY15 to $159.0 million in FY16.  

Repairs and maintenance expense decreased 28.4% to $71.0 million (2015: $99.2 million). One-off prep-for-rent costs 
incurred in FY15 amounting to $14.1 million which was not replicated in FY16.  

Changes in machinery and parts inventory and transportation costs declined in FY16 to $8.9 million, down from $11.8 
million in FY15.  The decrease was primarily the result of our ability to foresee and match our fleet  mix to regional 
demand reducing expenses related to transportation requirements. 

Employee expenses decreased 22.0% in FY16 to $34.0 million (FY15: $43.6 million) as a result of headcount reduction 
of 82 in FY16, reducing total number of employees to 254.   

Other  expenses  decreased  to  $45.1  million  (FY15:  $54.0  million)  largely  as  a  result  of  the  reversal  of  a  previously 
recognised doubtful debt ($5.6 million) and cost reduction initiatives ($4.3 million), which were partially offset by an 
increase in restructuring costs rising to $3.4 million (FY15: $2.6 million). Costs associated with hired in equipment and 
labour remained relatively flat year on year as Emeco used external contractors to reduce its operating cost base. Refer 
to note 8 in the financial statements for further breakdown of net other expenses (page 74). 

Refer below for information on tangible and intangible asset impairments. 

Depreciation expense decreased to $69.2 million in FY16 (FY15: $98.7 million) driven by a decrease in rental revenue 
combined with the impairment of the Canadian fleet in December 2015 and the designation of non-core fleet to be 
disposed as non-current assets held for sale (NCAHFS).

The written down value (WDV) of the rental fleet decreased to $264.6 million over FY16. 

Impairment loss on plant and equipment increased to $159.0 million in FY16, up from $23.9 million in FY15 (refer to 
note  22).  In  FY15,  the  management  team  was  more  bullish  on  the  recovery  of  the  mining  sector.  The  expected 
improvement in market conditions is now expected to occur at a slower and softer rate than first assumed. Continued 
weakness in the markets in which Emeco operates resulted in the business recognising tangible asset impairments. This 
is reflective of current operating conditions and the expectation that the market is unlikely to recover in the near term, 
despite our improved operating and financial performance. During FY16 management reclassified net $22.0 million of 
rental fleet to NCAHFS with corresponding net impairments of $5.8 million to represent the expected market value of 
those assets. NCAHFS as at 30 June 2016 was $30.7 million. Assets held for sale are not marketed for rental and as such 
are not considered as part of our value in use impairment testing.  

Inventory was written down by $11.5 million (2015: $6.9 million), land and buildings were impaired by $4.0 million and 
other asset write downs of $5.1 million were recognised in FY16 largely as a result of the allocation of impairment 
testing results to regional assets based on the value in use methodology.    

Over FY16 the business executed a successful asset swap with a mining contractor in Canada which resulted in $3.0 
million  of  in-demand  fleet  entering  the  Australian  operations  in  the  fourth  quarter.  This  fleet  transfer  supports 
equipment needs in Australia, particularly on the east coast where utilisation in New South Wales and Queensland is 
currently over 90%. 

We continually review our rental fleet, matching fleet mix to regional demand. Idle units identified as having low rental 
demand and end of life machines are transferred to NCAHFS and are actively marketed through Emeco’s global network 
of brokers.  Conversely assets held as NCAHFS that match a rental opportunity will be reclassified to the rental fleet 
and placed to rent on an opportunistic basis.

free cash flow. This improved in FY16 to $66.2 million compared to FY15 operating free cash flow of $42.6 million driven 
by increased EBITDA as a result of Project Fit initiatives and working capital management. The business also received a 
tax refund of $4.0 million during FY16 following review of prior year tax returns. 

Net capital expenditure remained largely consistent with the prior year. As a result of higher utilisation across Australia, 
capital  expenditure  increased  from  $37.8  million  in  the  prior  period  to  $38.2  million.  This  increase  was  offset  by  a       
$1.1 million increase in fleet disposals in FY16. 

The improved free cash flow provided the base to service our ongoing debt requirements throughout the year. 

During the year Emeco released $6.2 million related to funds received from the partial closure of the cross-currency 
interest rate swaps, net of on market bond purchases. This enabled Emeco to reduce its net debt position. See below 
for further information on the partial closure of interest rate swaps.

Net debt reduced to $365.4 million over FY16 as a result of the company purchasing US$53.2 million of bonds on market 
in December 2015. This transaction was funded by the partial closure of the company’s cross currency interest swaps, 
which released US$34.2 million of value held in the mark to market position hedging this facility. The bond purchase 
was offset by a decline in the cash balance and depreciation in the AUD increasing the underlying value of the bonds.

Following the on market purchase of bonds, Emeco’s debt structure consists of US$282.7 million of 144A bonds issued 
in March 2014 and the A$75 million asset backed loan (ABL) entered into December 2014. The 9.875% senior secured 
notes  mature  in  March  2019  require  interest  to  be  paid  on  15  March  and  15  September  each  year.  The  notes  are 
secured  and  guaranteed  by  Emeco  Holdings  Limited  and  its  operating  subsidiaries.  The  144A  notes  do  not  contain 
maintenance covenants.  

Operating as a source of liquidity, the ABL has springing maintenance covenants which engage if the facility is utilised 
greater than 50% , these covenants require Emeco to have an interest cover ratio of no less than 1.25 times and leverage 
ratio  of  no  more  than  65%.  The  ABL  matures  in  December  2017.  At  30  June  2016  the  ABL  was  undrawn  with  the 
exception of $11.5 million of bank guarantees utilised against the facility. 

Across the year, the AUD depreciated against the USD from $0.7680 as at 30 June 2015 to $0.7426 at 30 June 2016. 
The fall in value of the AUD resulted in a $14.9 million increase in the underlying value of the USD denominated bonds. 
Following the partial closure of the company’s cross currency swaps the remaining derivatives cover US$71.5 million of 
exposure to the bonds and had a fair value of A$18.9 million as at 30 June 2016.  

Finance lease liabilities increased from $4.9 million at 30 June 2015 to $9.0 million at 30 June 2016 with Emeco acquiring 
a number of finance lease assets for the purpose of the Encuentro project in Chile.  

Emeco’s cash balance fell marginally to $24.8 million at 30 June 2016, down from $27.8 million the prior comparative 
period. Combined with the reduced value in the remaining swaps and 50% facility limit on the ABL, available liquidity 
has reduced to approximately $70 million, down from $92.3 million as at 30 June 2015.

BUILDING ON PROJECT FIT AND A CONTINUED FOCUS ON CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

Heading into FY17 the focus remains on further driving efficiency gains in the business and maintaining tight capital 
management. Building on the success of Project Fit, management is now focused on operational excellence and seeking 
opportunities  to  reduce  our  cost  base  further  through  reductions  in  maintenance  costs  achieved  by  extending 
component life, alternate component sourcing and improving labour productivity. 

We will continue to capture market share through creative rental solutions, the use of our EOS technology to widen 
Emeco’s value proposition and building on our partnering arrangements with industry peers, customers and suppliers.

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  leveraged  to  the  production  phase  of  the  mining  cycle.  
Operating unit performance is summarised below:

FY16 performance 

The Australia business improved average operating utilisation over FY16 to 50%, which was led by increased market 
share in both New South Wales and Queensland. Despite a 3.5% fall in operating revenue to $132.2 million, the business 
improved  operating  EBITDA  margins  from  25.5%  in  FY15  to  27.1%  in  FY16.  This  margin  improvement  was  driven 
primarily from cost reduction initiatives. Headcount in Australia declined from 217 at 30 June 2015 to 165 at 30 June 
2016. 

The New South Wales business continues to remain the strongest of the Australian business units with FY16 operating 
utilisation of 59% compared to 56% over FY15.   

Queensland  continued  its  strong  recovery  with  a  number  of  projects  commencing  late  in  FY15  driving  improved 
operating utilisation during FY16 to an average of 53% (up from 35% in FY15).   

The Western Australian business did not recover as expected from the completion of major projects at the end of FY15 
and the commencement of FY16.   

The year ahead 

Moving forward we expect New South Wales and Queensland to continue performing strongly. New project works in 
Queensland with a mining contractor commenced over Q3 FY16, which is expected to drive volume growth in FY17. In 
New South Wales our existing customer base continues to demonstrate increased demand for our assets. 

The asset transfers from our Canada business to Australia will provide $21.5 million of in-demand assets to support 
New South Wales and Queensland. 

While the Western Region still faces challenging market conditions, the low cost base enables the business to rebuild 
whilst  remaining  cash  positive.  We  are  encouraged  by  the  implementation  of  EOS  at  Evolution  Mining’s  Mungari 
operation in Western Australia (our second EOS project site). This fully maintained EOS enhanced rental model is well 
suited to the WA gold sector. Our objective is to create additional project sites utilising this model in FY17. 

Medium term outlook 

The medium term outlook for the Australian mining market continues to be challenging. Although commodities prices 
have  generally  recovered  slightly  over  second  half  FY16,  the  impact  from  oversupply  in  the  commodity  and yellow 
equipment markets is expected to push any sector recovery beyond the medium term. While opportunities exist to 
further increase market share, the competitive landscape across all markets continues to impact the potential for any 
substantial rental rate recovery.

Main markets 

The Canada business is strategically located in the Alberta region to primarily service oil sands and bulk commodity 
projects  in  Western  Canada.    The  business  supplies  rental  equipment  and  mine  site  services  to  oil  companies  and 
contractors, as well as coal mines in Western Canada and iron ore mines in Eastern Canada. Rental revenue composition 
in FY16 remained heavily weighted toward oil sands (79%) with the remainder derived from thermal coal (12%) and 
iron ore (7%).  

FY16 performance 

The oil sands industry was hit hard over FY16 by the sustained lower oil price with producers delaying reclamation 
works  to  reduce  operating  costs.  The  result  of  the  weak  market  conditions  was  significantly  lower  utilisation  and 
operating utilisation than FY15, driving a 52.0% decline in revenue.  

Management dealt with the sharp decline in performance by restructuring the business over the third quarter. This 
restructure resulted in significant cost reductions and was primarily driven through the formation of an asset sharing 
partnership  with  Heavy  Metals  Equipment  Rentals  (HMER),  which  is  designed  to  combine  fleet  resources,  whilst 
reducing overheads. 

The year ahead 

Following  formation  of  the  HMER  partnership  and  the  successful  asset  swap  the  business  is  expected  to  generate 
positive  cash  flow  in  FY17.  Overall,  after  a  very  difficult  FY16  in  the  oil  sands,  the  Canadian  business  has  been 
restructured to provide positive EBITDA. The strategic partnership with one of Emeco’s peers in the region is expected 
to improve the utilisation of our equipment. We will continue to closely monitor the operating conditions in Canada. 

Medium term outlook 

The  current  low  oil  price  environment  is  expected  to  continue  for  the  foreseeable  future.  The  macro-economic 
conditions in this market reduce visibility on the timing of a recovery. Emeco will continue to explore opportunities to 
work closely with peers and customers in this region.

Main markets 

Emeco provides mining equipment rental services to mining companies and contractors in Chile. Rental revenue in FY16 
was 100% weighted toward the copper industry. 

FY16 performance 

Following operational issues in FY15, the Chile business was stabilised in FY16 through the formation of a partnership 
agreement  with  a  leading  global  mining  contractor  to  complete  the  five  year  project  at  AMSA’s  Encuentro  mine. 
Increased utilisation at Encuentro in first half of FY16 and a wet-hire project at AMSA’s Esperanza mine drove a 32.4% 
increase in revenue compared to FY15. 

During second half FY16 AMSA’s mine plan changed with temporary suspension of the Encuentro mine development. 
The  equipment  was  relocated  to  AMSA’s  Esperanza  operation  where  it  is  expected  to  work  for  the  remainder  of 
calendar  year  2016.  Delays  in  transferring  the  equipment  to Esperanza  and  the  completion  of  the  wet  hire  project 
impacted second half earnings.  

The year ahead 

Emeco’s fleet will return to the Encuentro project early second half FY17, with four years remaining on this contract 
from recommencement. The  temporary delay and relocation to Esperanza effectively increases the duration of the 
project by 12 months. Emeco will look to improve margins through cost efficiencies and broaden its customer base 
through strategic relationships with its peers. 

Medium term outlook 

The current copper price is expected to stay relatively flat in the future with production volumes in Chile only marginally 
increasing. This environment may provide opportunities with capital constrained miners looking to outsource its fleet 
requirements. Emeco is well positioned to maintain and grow earnings in Chile.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

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, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. 

Non-audit services 

During the year, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, 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 management committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor. 

• 

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, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu 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 38 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  as  referred  to  in  ASIC  Corporations  (Rounding  in  Financial/Directors’  Reports) 
Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.

Remuneration governance 

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;  

incentivising executives to remain with the Group; 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  FY16  were  Mr  Alec  Brennan  (Chair,  ceased 
membership on 22 April 2016), Ms Erica Smyth (appointed Chair on 22 April 2016), Mr John Cahill and Mr Peter Richards 
(appointed on 13 January 2016).

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:  

Objective
Remunerate fairly and 
appropriately

Practices aligned with objective
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.

Attract, retain and develop 
proven performers

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

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

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 performance.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

3.2 

Fixed remuneration 

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

Each executive’s fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually in August.  In FY16, this process did not 
result in any change in any Executive’s fixed remuneration.  However, the fixed remuneration of Mr Ian Testrow, Mr 
Gregory Hawkins and Ms Thao Pham increased in FY16 as a result of expanded responsibilities in their new roles.   

It is also noted that the fixed remuneration of Mr Ian Testrow is 29% lower than that of his predecessor, Mr Ken Lewsey. 

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.  

3.3 

Variable remuneration 

Variable remuneration is remuneration which consists of short and long term incentives.   

In FY16, the short and long term incentives offered to executives underwent a thorough review taking into account the 
Company’s share price and the Group’s key items of focus for the financial year.  The importance of retaining executives, 
deleveraging  the  Group,  refinancing  the  Group’s  notes  which  expire  in  2019  and  alignment  with  shareholder  value 
resulted in the creation of a new retention incentive (RI) plan to replace the previous long term incentive share plan 
offered by the Company from FY08 to FY15.  

In FY16, short term incentive (STI) awards continue to be for performance assessed over one year. See section 3.3.1 for 
more information.  RI awards are used as a retention tool to incentivise executives to continue with the Group for at 
least three years and drive shareholder value over this period.  See section 3.3.2 for more information.   

The below table sets out the maximum remuneration for each executive in FY16 attributable to: 

• 

• 

STIs as a percentage of total fixed remuneration (TFR) if maximum performance is achieved; and 

RIs as a percentage of TFR if the executives remain employed by the Group until the day after the announcement 
of Emeco’s annual results in 2018 (vesting date).

3.3.1 

STI remuneration 

Cash and potential equity 

STIs are used to reward the performance of executives over a full financial year. The actual amount of STI awarded is 
determined after the end of the financial year in light of the Company’s financial performance and performance against 
agreed key performance indicators (KPIs).  All executive STI awards require review and approval by the remuneration 
and nomination committee and the board.  

An executive’s maximum achievable STI award is set as a percentage of TFR (see table 15 above for details).  

FY16 STI awards are made 100% in cash.  

Company performance factor and key performance indicators 

Along with financial performance indicators tailored to the Group’s key items of focus for the financial year, the 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.  

With the exception of one KPI, the FY16 STI plan provided for pro-rata entitlements where performance in respect of 
the KPIs was between the thresholds and targets (see table 16).  In respect of the FY16 STI plan, all executives had 
identical KPIs, with no applicable personal KPIs.  This was to focus executive efforts on the overall performance of the 
Company  and  promote  collaboration  and  support  between  executives  and  to  senior  managers  and  the  Group  as  a 
whole. 

Executive achievement in respect of the KPIs was then multiplied by the EBITDA company performance factor (CPF) 
outlined and shaded in grey in table 16.  The CPF was introduced into the STI plan in FY16 to enhance alignment between 
Group performance and executive reward.  Although many of the target KPIs were met in FY16, FY16 operating EBITDA 
was below FY16 target EBITDA. Consequently, all executives only received 25% of their target STI.

3.3.2   RI remuneration 

Performance shares and performance rights 

In FY16 Emeco offered an equity based RI plan to provide a reward for senior managers (which includes executives) that 
remain employed by the Group over a three year period (vesting period).   

The RI 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 remain employed with the Group to deliver the long 
term objectives of the Emeco Group and increase shareholder wealth.  

RI remuneration is in the form of performance shares or performance rights (RI securities).  Performance shares are 
offered to Australian based senior managers.  Performance rights are used for senior managers who are resident outside 
Australia due to the complexity and cost of compliance issues associated with the offer of performance shares in the 
relevant foreign jurisdictions.   

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

In FY16 all executives were based in Australia at the time of the RI offers.  As such, only performance shares were offered 
to executives.  The number of performance shares offered was determined by reference to the executive’s maximum 
long term incentive entitlement and the fair value of the RI securities as at the commencement of the vesting period. 
Performance shares were offered at no cost to the executive, however, award of the shares is subject to the retention 
condition described below.  

Retention condition  

The performance shares offered under the RI plan are not conditional on Company performance but rather vest at the 
end of a three year period.  This is to encourage senior management to remain with Group for the three year vesting 
period.  This currently is particularly important to the Company as the Group’s notes are due to expire at the end of this 
three year vesting period.  

Previous long term incentive  plans included a performance condition based on the relative total shareholder return 
(TSR)  of  the  Company  measured  against  a  peer  group  over  a  three  year  vesting  period.    In  recent  years  the  TSR 
performance conditions have been particularly difficult to satisfy given the downturn in the mining sector, evidenced 
by nil vesting over the last four financial years.  This appears to have affected the value of the Company’s previous long 
term incentive plans as a retention tool, with the Company seeing a high turnover in senior managers over the previous 
two years. 

Each RI security has a higher fair value than those that would be issued under a long term incentive plan with a TSR 
performance condition.  The higher fair value results in a decrease in the number of RI securities which would otherwise 
be granted to executives under the previous long term incentive plans.  Furthermore, during a period where market 
perception  questions  the  Company’s  ability  to  refinance  its  notes  before  2019,  a  refinancing  becomes  the  inherent 
performance hurdle for the vesting of the RI securities.  This will affect the share price of the Company and, therefore, 
the value of the performance shares at the vesting date. 

Performance shares which vest are transferred to the employee.   

RI securities that do not vest will lapse.  The shares associated with these RI securities will be transferred to a nominee 
of the Company and held on trust for subsequent reallocation.  

Vesting on involuntary termination 

If an executive’s employment is terminated due to death, total and permanent disability, retrenchment or retirement, 
then  the  executive’s  unvested  RI  securities  will  vest,  pro-rated  based  on  the  period  that  the  executive  has  been 
employed with Emeco during the vesting period. 

All unvested RI securities lapse if an executive resigns or is terminated for cause.

Prohibition of hedging RI 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. 

3.5 

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  an  executive’s  STI  remuneration  is  ‘at  risk’.    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 outcomes.  In respect of FY16, 25% of the executives’ target 
STI were awarded.  

RI  awards  are  dependent  on  continued  employment  with  the  Group  over,  and  the  value  of  which  are  ultimately 
dependent on the share price at the end of, the vesting period.  No incentives under the Company’s previous long term 
incentive plans vested.  See section 5.4 for more detail. 

In FY16, the primary focus of the Company was to generate cash by reducing costs, disposing surplus fleet and managing 
capital expenditure and working capital in order to deleverage and strengthen its balance sheet.  Strategic achievements 
over FY16 were executed to continue to drive the Emeco business through this current downturn in the global market 
and position the business for future growth, and hence greater shareholder returns. 

Details of the KPIs for the FY16 STI and RI 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  mean  that  STI 
remuneration is genuinely at risk, is highlighted by the fact that no executive subject to the financial hurdle in FY15 
received a STI payment in that year. 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 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 - no STIs in respect of financial KPIs were awarded.  In FY16, the STI awards to executives slightly increased from 
FY15 due to improved financial performance. Details of these KPIs are set out above in section 3.3.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

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 long term incentive securities offered under the Company’s previous long term incentive plan (LTI securities) 
as  the  share  price  three  years  prior  was  only  40  cents.    A  factor  which  was  a  primary  cause  of  the  volatility  in  the 
Company’s  share  price  during  FY12  was  the  uncertainty  in  the  global  macroeconomic  environment.  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, 20 cents, 8 cents 
and 3 cents on 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 respectively. No LTI securities vested as a 
result of the Company’s performance in FY13, FY14, FY15 and FY16.  This highlights the genuinely challenging nature of 
the TSR performance condition in previous financial years.   

The change in FY16 to the RI plan provides senior managers with a more meaningful incentive to remain with the Group 
over the longer term.  The Company considers that retaining senior managers will be a key factor in the performance of 
the Group over the coming years and its ability to refinance the notes before 2019.  The value of the RI plan upon vesting 
will be wholly dependent on the Company’s share price. 

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 August. In FY16, 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 skill sets of 
board members, the quantum of fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies and participation in 
board committee work.  

The chair is entitled to an annual fee of $158,238.  All other non-executive directors receive an annual fee of $90,422. 
An additional annual fee of $6,782 is paid to a director who is a member of a board committee.  This fee is increased to 
$9,042  for  a  director  who  chairs  a  committee.  All  amounts  specified  in  this  section  are  inclusive  of  superannuation 
contributions.  

Due to the decrease in the number of non-executive directors in FY16, all non-executive directors now sit on more than 
one committee.  However, in January 2016, the board resolved that non-executive directors would only be paid for 
sitting on one committee.

Mr Ken Lewsey, Mr Christopher Hayman and Ms Kalien Selby ceased employment with Emeco during FY16. Mr Lewsey, Mr Hayman and Ms 
Selby were not offered RI securities in FY16.  The RI security offers made to Mr Ian Testrow and Mr Gregory Hawkins in FY16 (13,021,703 and 
6,260,434 respectively), were not allocated prior to their appointment as directors of the Company and, as such, are subject to shareholder 
approval.  However, Mr Hawkins has ceased employment with the Group and, therefore, all unvested securities offered to Mr Hawkins will 
be forfeited in accordance with their terms. 
The minimum value of each grant is zero. 
The vesting date is the day after the announcement of the Company’s annual results in 2018.   
The fair value of the 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 17) is the portion of the 
fair value of the securities recognised in FY16.  

5.4 

Long Term Incentives 

During  FY08  to  FY15,  the  Company  offered  long  term  incentives  (LTIs)  to  executives  to  reward  them  for  Company 
performance over a three year period (vesting period). 

LTI remuneration was 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  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.   

The performance condition for the vesting of LTI securities was 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 end of the vesting period, the TSR for Emeco and each company in the peer group will be measured and ranked.  
Emeco will be allocated a percentile rank representing the percentage of companies in the peer group that has a lower 
TSR than Emeco (percentile rank).

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

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:  

Percentile rank
50% or lower
Between 50% and 75%
75% or higher

Percentage of LTI securities that vest
Nil
50% plus 2% for each percentile rank over 50% 
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 reallocation.  

Performance  shares  which  vest  are  transferred  to  the  employee.  In  respect  of  performance  rights  which  vest, 
corresponding shares are transferred to the employee.

Mr Ken Lewsey, Mr Christopher Hayman and Ms Kalien Selby ceased employment with Emeco during FY16. All unvested LTI securities granted 
to Mr Lewsey, Mr Hayman and Ms Selby in FY14 and FY15 were forfeited in accordance with the terms of the respective grants.  The LTI 
securities offers made to Mr Ian Testrow and Mr Gregory Hawkins in FY15 (1,550,000 and 1,600,000 respectively) were not allocated prior 
to their appointment as directors of the Company and, as such, are subject to shareholder approval.  However, Mr Hawkins has ceased 
employment with the Group and, therefore, all unvested securities offered to Mr Hawkins under the FY15 plan will be forfeited in accordance 
with their terms.  
The minimum value of each grant is zero.  
For LTI securities granted in FY13, FY14 and FY15 the vesting date is the twentieth trading day after the announcement of the Company’s 
annual results in  2015, 2016 and 2017 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 17) is the portion of 
the fair value of the securities recognised in FY16.  

5.5  Management incentive share plan  

Emeco  offered  shares  pursuant  to  a  management  incentive  share  plan  (MISP)  between  2005  and  2008.  The  shares 
offered under this plan were not conditional on performance but rather vested over time so as to encourage participants 
to remain with Group. 

Under the MISP, the Company provided each MISP participant with an interest free, limited recourse loan (loan) to 
enable them to subscribe for the MISP shares.  Any dividends or capital distributions which were paid on the MISP shares 
were applied by the Company in reducing the amount of the loan.  The shares vested over a five year period.   

Subject to the approval of the board, the loan was capable of repayment at any time but, in most instances, was to be 
repaid by 1 July 2015, being the tenth anniversary of the commencement date of the MISP.  Eligible participants of the 
plan at 1 July 2015 were given the option to either pay the loan amount outstanding in respect of the shares or to 
extinguish the loan by forfeiting their interest in the shares.  All KMP participants elected to forfeit their outstanding 
MISP shares in FY16.

Emeco employee share ownership plan 

Emeco’s  employee  share  ownership  plan  (ESOP)  was  an  elective  plan  which  was  open  to  all  Australian  employees 
between FY08 and FY15.  Under the ESOP, for every five shares acquired and paid for by the employee under the ESOP 
(ESOP shares), Emeco acquired one matching share on market 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 resigns from the Group before the expiry of the restriction period, the matching 
shares are forfeited.  All matching shares automatically vest if an employee is made redundant before the expiry of the 
restriction period.  

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

Emeco did not offer any shares under the ESOP in FY16.  However, shares acquired in 2014 under previous ESOPs vested 
for participating employees that remain employed with Emeco at 31 December 2015. 

During FY16 ESOP shares were released from escrow, and matching shares vested, under previous ESOPs as set out 
below:

Service contracts 

Each executive is employed pursuant to contracts which provide for an indefinite term and which are terminable on 
either party giving six months’ notice or on the payment to the executive of up to six months’ salary in lieu of notice. No 
termination payments other than salary in lieu of notice and accrued statutory leave entitlements are payable under 
these contracts. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

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  2016  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 financial 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 30 August 2016. 

(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) 
(cid:1) 

derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; 
assets held for sale at fair value less costs of disposal; 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. 

The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial /Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts 
in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.  

(d)   Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the AASB 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 of disposal 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).

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, capital structure 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. 

Assets held for sale 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for assets held for sale (refer note 3(i)), 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 of 
disposal. Fair value less costs of disposal includes estimates and judgements about the market value of these 
assets. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could impact on the carrying amount of these assets 
held for sale. The carrying amount of assets held for sale are set out note 15.

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 translated 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.

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 
expire.

Financial instruments (continued) 
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,  and  trade  and  other 
payables. 

(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 unless designated as a hedge instrument.

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. 

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 reassessments 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 on a units of production method 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. (2015: All plant and equipment is depreciated to a 
minimum of 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 

15 years 
3 – 15 years 
10 years

Intangible assets 
Research and Development 
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit and loss as incurred. Development expenditure is 
capitalised  only  if  the  expenditure  can  be  measured  reliably,  the  product  or  process  is  technically  and 
commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient 
resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit and loss 
as  incurred.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  development  expenditure  is  measured  at  costs  less 
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets (continued) 
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 

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  from  the  date  that  they  are  available  for  use.  The  estimated  useful  lives  for  the  current  and 
comparative periods are as follows: 

• 

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.  

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.  

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.  

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

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

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

(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 of disposal. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated to the 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. 

(v) 

Share based payment transactions  
(a) 

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

(b)   A Retention Incentive (RI) plan allows certain management personnel to receive shares or rights of 
the Company.  Under the RI, rights or shares granted to each RI participant vest to the employee after 
three years.  The 2015 long term incentive plan (LTIP), included a performance condition included a 
performance  hurdle  based  on  relative  total  shareholder  return  (TSR).    The  peer  group  that  the 
Company’s TSR is measured against consists of 123 Companies (this number may change as a result 
of takeovers, mergers etc) and includes 16 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.  

(c) 

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. 

(e) 

A short term incentive (STI) plan allows the executive leadership team to receive, on board approval, 
cash or 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, direct costs, overheads, capital expenditure, working capital, free cash flow, sale 
of idle assets, safety and personal goals. 

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. 

Restructure provision 
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal 
restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future 
operating costs are not provided for. 

Revenue 
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. Customers are billed monthly. 

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.

Revenue (continued) 
(l)  
(iii)  Maintenance services 

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

(m)   Leases 

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

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

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

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

(n)  

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

• 
interest income; 
• 
interest expense; 
•  dividend income; 
•  discount on repurchased debt; 
•  dividends on preference shares issued classified as financial liabilities; 
• 
• 
• 
•  withholding tax; 
• 
• 

the net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; 
the foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and liabilities; 
the fair value loss on contingent consideration classified as financial liability; 

the net gain or loss on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss; 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.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(o)  

Income tax (continued) 
(ii)  Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.  

Deferred tax is not recognised for: 

• 

• 

• 

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

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 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016. The 
Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. Those 
which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. 

(i)  AASB 16 Leases (2016) 

AASB16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities 
for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is 
required to recognise a right of use asset representing its right-to-use the underlying leased asset and a lease 
liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. 

(ii)  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (2015) 

The  new  standard  replaces  AASB  118  which  covers  the  revenues  arising  from  the  sale  of  goods  and  the 
rendering of services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the 
principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. 

(iii)  AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2014) 

AASB 9 will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that 
may affect the Group on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include: 
• 

simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those 
carried at fair value; 
permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an equity 
instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI); 
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the 
change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create 
an ‘accounting mismatch’; 
introducing a new model for hedge accounting that permits greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, 
particularly with respect to non-financial items; and 
requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost based on an expected loss approach. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

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. 

(a) 

(b) 

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. 

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(c) 

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. 

(d)  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. 

(e) 

(f) 

Share based payment transactions 
The fair value of employee share options, management incentive plan shares, long term incentive plan and 
retention 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 market price at purchase 
date. 

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.  

(g) 

Assets held for sale 
The  fair  value  of  assets  designated  as  held  for  sale  are  determined  with  reference  to  an 
independent external valuation, market demand and costs of disposal.

6  Financial instruments 

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

credit risk;  
liquidity risk; and 

• 
• 
•  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  management  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 assessed on a case by case basis and where possible, prepayment 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  $700,000,000  (2015: 
$700,000,000).  The Australian and Chilean businesses held insurance for the entire financial year ended 30 June 
2016. The Canadian business held credit insurance from 1 September 2015 to 30 June 2016. 

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 2016 the Group’s doubtful debts provision for continuing and discontinued operations was $1,090,000 
(2015: $5,874,000). As at 30 June 2016 the Group recognised bad debt write offs for continuing and discontinued 
operations  for  a  total  amount  of  $4,924,000  (2015:  $4,089,000)  which  $4,924,000  related  to  one  customer  in 
Indonesia.  

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’s maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was:

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk (continued) 

Derivatives 
The Group also held derivative assets in relation to cross currency interest rate swaps and forward exchange rate 
swaps to the total value of $18,944,000 (2015: $51,043,000) at 30 June 2016, which represents its maximum credit 
exposure on these assets.  The interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps are held with bank and 
financial institution counter parties which are rated greater than A-. 

Cash 
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $24,854,000 at 30 June 2016 (2015: $27,800,000), 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 2016 the Group held $116,000 of 
bank guarantees (2015: $9,884,000) and $Nil of prepayments (2015: $Nil). 

Guarantees  
Financial  guarantees  are  generally  only  provided  to  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  or  when  entering  into  a  premise 
rental agreement or performance bonds for completion of contract. Details of outstanding guarantees are provided 
in note 29. At 30 June 2016 $11,504,000 guarantees were outstanding (2015: $10,491,000). 

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.

Liquidity risk (continued) 

The Group has issued secured fixed interest notes in the 144A high yield bond market comprising US$335,000,000 
which matures on 15 March 2019. The nominal fixed interest rate is 9.875%. These notes will remain fully drawn 
until maturity. 

The Group has an A$75,000,000 asset backed loan facility that matures in December 2017 and will be available for 
general corporate purposes.  When utilised, the nominal interest rate is equal to the aggregate of the margin of 
1.75% per annum and bank bill swap rate (BBSY). The asset backed loan has no maintenance covenants unless the 
facility is more than 50% utilised, at which stage it requires Emeco to have an interest cover ratio of 1.25 times and 
gearing of less than 65%. At 30 June 2016 the loan was undrawn but had utilised A$11,504,000 in bank guarantees. 

The Group has a facility agreement comprising a credit card facility with a limit of A$750,000 and bank guarantee 
where the aggregate face  value shall not exceed A$866,013. The facility matures in December 2016 and will be 
available for general corporate purposes. The facility is secured via a cash cover account. The bank guarantee is 
subject to a fee of 3% per annum on the face value of the bank guarantee. At 30 June 2016 the facility was utilised 
at A$866,013. 

The Group has finance lease facilities totalling A$9,006,000 (2015: A$4,915,000) which have various maturities up 
to November 2020.  

The Group has financed its insurance payments with A$535,000 remaining at year end which matures in August 
2016. 

The  following  are  the  contractual  maturities  of  financial  liabilities,  including  estimated  interest  payments  and 
excluding the impact of netting agreements.

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. cross 
currency interest rate swaps.

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). 

When possible, 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.  If available, the Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.  Most of the 
forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than six months. 

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

Interest  on  borrowings  from  the  debt  facility  is  generally  denominated  in  currencies  that  match  the  cash  flows 
generated  by  the  underlying  operations  of  the  Group,  primarily  AUD,  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 has been applied to these  instruments. When 
possible, the Group aims to offset the remainder of the USD foreign exchange exposure through the use of financial 
assets denominated in the same currency providing an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into.  

In December 2015, the Group closed out US$138,500,000 face value of cross currency interest rate swaps, which 
generated a cash inflow of A$48,167,000. These proceeds were used to finance the purchase of US$52,280,000 
144A  notes  for  consideration  of  A$41,971,000  (US$29,799,000)  with  a  resulting  gain  on  repurchase  of 
A$31,663,000. The Group considered the risk of an increased unhedged position against the benefits of managing 
the Group’s interest rate and liquidity risk.

Sensitivity analysis 
A weakening of the Australian dollar, as indicated below, against the following currencies at 30 June 2016 would 
have  affected  the  measurement  of 
foreign  currency  and 
increased/(decreased)  equity  and  profit  or  loss  by  the  amounts  shown  below.  This  analysis  is  based  on  foreign 
currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting 
period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.  The analysis is 
performed on the same basis for 2015, as indicated below:

Interest rate risk 
In accordance  with the board’s policy the Group is required to maintain an appropriate exposure to changes  in 
interest rates on borrowings on a fixed rate basis, taking into account assets with exposure to changes in interest 
rates. This is achieved by entering into cross currency interest rate swaps and the issue of fixed interest notes.

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.

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Market risk (continued) 

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

Capital management 
Underpinning  Emeco’s  strategic  framework  is  consistent  value  creation  for  shareholders.   Central  to  this  is  the 
continual evaluation of the Company’s capital structure to ensure it is optimised to deliver value to shareholders. 
The board’s policy is to maintain diversified, long term sources of funding to maintain investor, creditor and market 
confidence and to support the future growth of the business.  

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.

(1)  The  Canadian  CGU  was  impaired  in  December  2015  due  to  a  decline  in  the  conditions  in  the  Canadian 
market which resulted in the value in use of assets disposed to a third party being recognised at less than 
the fair value less costs to dispose of fleet.  The impairment recognised on the fleet sold has been reversed 
to align the written down value of this fleet to its fair value less costs of disposal.

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 (2015: $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 $25,518,000 (2015: $18,861,000) 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.

15  Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale 

During the year $43,755,000 of non-current assets were transferred from property, plant and equipment into non-

their fair value less cost to sell based on market prices of similar equipment. 

As  at  30  June  2016,  the  non-current  assets  held  for  sale  comprised  assets  of  $30,728,000  (2015:  $32,328,000).  
These relate to plant and equipment from Indonesia (included in note 14), Canada, Chile and Australia. The Group 
is actively marketing these assets and they are expected to be disposed of within 12 months.

16  Segment reporting 

The Group has three (2015: 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

managing director and board of directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis.  The following 
summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments: 

Australia

Indonesia.  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 tests for cash generating units 
The Group conducts impairment testing when impairment indicators, such as market capitalisation being greater 
than the net assets of the Group, exist. The Group has determined the recoverable amount of its cash generating 
units (CGU) using a value in use methodology (2015: value in use) which is based on discounted cash flows for 
five  years  plus  a  terminal  value.  CGU’s  are  classified  as  the  operating  segments  of  the  Group.  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. 

Impairment testing is intended to assess the recoverable amount of both tangible and intangible assets. 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 2016. 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 CGUs valuations range between 8.9% and 10.4% (2015: 6.5% and 8.8%). 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 2.2% 
and 7.2% (2015: 4.1% and 11.2%).  

Market conditions continued to be challenging during the year with the anticipated recovery being slower than 
previously expected by the Group which has led to impairments in the Australian and Chilean CGUs.  During the 
year the Group made the decision to restructure the Canadian operations, in response to falling oil prices, leading 
to the recognition of an impairment loss for the Canadian CGU.  The table below outlines the amount recognised 
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for each CGU during the year 
ended 30 June 2016. 

Impairment  testing  conducted  during  the  year  ending  30  June  2016  determined  that  the  three  CGU’s  were 
impaired. The table below outlines the amount recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income for each CGU during the year ended 30 June 2016.

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  presents  the  amount  by  which  the  impairment 
recognised for each CGU changes due to a 1 percent drop in CGU average utilisation over the forecast period and 
a 1 percent increase in discount rates.

Bank loans 
The Group has an A$75,000,000 asset backed loan facility that matures in December 2017 and is available for 
general corporate purposes. When utilised, the nominal interest rate is equal to the aggregate of the margin of 
1.75% per annum and bank bill swap rate (BBSY). The asset backed loan has no maintenance covenants unless 
the facility is more than 50% utilised, at which stage it requires Emeco to have an interest cover ratio of 1.25 
times and gearing of less than 65%. At year end, the Group had drawn $Nil of the available facility but had utilised 
$11,504,000 in bank guarantees.

Interest bearing liabilities (continued) 

144A notes issue 
Under the terms of the note agreement, the noteholders hold a joint fixed and floating charge with the asset 
backed loan bank group over the assets and undertakings of the Group. The Group issued secured fixed interest 
notes in the 144A high yield bond market comprising US$335,000,000 which matures  on 15 March 2019. The 
nominal interest rate is 9.875%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity.  Of the notes, US$263,500,000 
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.   

In  December  2015,  a  portion  of  the  financial  instruments  used  to  hedge  the  notes  were  sold  to  facilitate  the 
repurchase of US$52,280,000 face value of the notes on issue. The notes purchased by the Group have not been 
cancelled and have been netted off against the total debt of the Group. At 30 June 2016, the notes were drawn 
to  A$451,117,000/US$335,000,000  (June  2015:  A$436,198,000/US$335,000,000)  of  which  the  Group  owns 
A$70,402,000/US$52,280,000 which has been offset on the consolidated statement of financial position. 

The  Group  designated  derivatives  (cross  currency  interest  rate  swaps)  as  hedge  instruments  against  this 
underlying debt.

27  Share based payments (continued) 

The fair  value of  services received in return for the performance shares and rights granted during the year are 
based on the fair value of the RI’s granted, measured using a 20 day value weighted average price (2015: LTIPs 
granted, measured using the 20 day Value Weighted Average Price Monte Carlo simulation analysis).  Expected 
volatility is estimated by considering the Company’s historical daily and monthly share price movement and an 
analysis  of  comparable  companies.  Market  conditions  are  detailed  in  note  3(j)(v).  The  inputs  used  in  the 
measurement of the fair values at grant date are as follows:

The fair value assumptions for MISPs have no further expense to be recognised and have not changed since the 
fair value was determined at grant date in previous years. 

For the Group’s CEO and key management personnel the following applies: 

Dividends: 

• 
• 

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

Absolute change in control: 

• 
• 

• 

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

(1)  Included in share based employee expenses for the year is the write back of prior year share based employee 
expenses as a result of the shares, rights or options being forfeited during the year because the employee does 
not meet the required performance hurdles or service requirements. Should an employee be made redundant, 
the remaining share based payment expense for the vesting period will be accelerated and recognised in the 
period the employee was made redundant.

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,  which 
comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement 
of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  statement  of  cash  flows  and  the 
statement of changes in equity 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 consolidated entity, comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 
the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 39 to 119. 

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 gives a true and fair view and is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to  fraud  or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in 
accordance  with  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that 
the  consolidated 
financial  statements  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.  Those  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  company’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 
company’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. 

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. 

Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 

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

Auditor’s Independence Declaration 

In  conducting  our  audit,  we  have  complied  with  the  independence  requirements  of  the 
Corporations  Act  2001.  We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the 
Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has  been  given  to  the  directors  of  Emeco  Holdings  Limited, 
would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.  

Opinion 

In our opinion: 

(a) the financial report of Emeco Holdings Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 

2001, including: 

(i)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 

2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and 

(ii)  complying  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Regulations 

2001; and 

(b) the  financial statements  also  comply with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as 

disclosed in Note 2. 

Report on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 25 to 37 of the directors’ report 
for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016.  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 Australian Auditing Standards.  

Opinion 

In  our  opinion  the  Remuneration  Report  of  Emeco  Holdings  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30
