Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for the 2018 financial year (FY18). 

Safety and sustainability 

Emeco continues to maintain its commitment to our people, the environment and the communities in which we 
operate. Emeco’s most valued assets are our people and their safety is at the forefront of all decisions across 
the  business.  Our  continued  improving  safety  performance  demonstrates  this  commitment  to  our  staff  and 
customers. 

Overall, we continue to improve our safety record notwithstanding the  significant increase in the number of 
employees  and  operations  through  increased  activity  and  the  acquisition  of  Force  in  November  2017.  We 
continue to strive to create industry best safety practices and eliminate harm. 

For  more  information  on  our  sustainability  performance  and  policies,  please  refer  to  Emeco’s  FY18 
Sustainability Report available on our website. 

Return to profitability  

In FY18, Emeco’s focus has been on executing our growth strategy and driving operational efficiencies, whilst 
continuing to strengthen the balance sheet. 

In addition to realising the full year benefits of the merger with Andy’s Earthmovers and Orionstone in FY18, 
Emeco acquired Force and announced an agreement to acquire Matilda Equipment (which completed shortly 
after year-end). As well as these acquisitions, Emeco’s ongoing business improvement initiatives ensured it 
maintained strong discipline in operating costs and capital expenditures.  

As a result, I am pleased Emeco will be reporting a return to profitability in FY18, with positive operating NPAT 
for the first time since FY13.  

Continued focus on cash flow and deleveraging  

In FY18, Emeco generated operating cash flow of $178.2 million and ended the year with net debt / pro forma 
run rate operating EBITDA of 2.0x1 (down from 3.9x2 in FY17). This places the business in a strong position 
to renew the fleet as required, take advantage of growth opportunities in the market and refinance our debt on 
terms that are more attractive. 

I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  our  shareholders  for  their  overwhelming  continued  support  of 
Emeco with the acquisitions of Force and Matilda. I would also like to thank management and all our employees 
for their efforts in returning the company to profitability. This continued support is critical to Emeco’s short and 
long-term success.

Managing Director’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

During  FY18,  Emeco  continued  to  execute  on  our  strategy  to  become  the  highest  quality  and  lowest  cost 
provider of equipment rental solutions. I am pleased to report that our focus on serving our customers and the 
hard work of our team has resulted in a return to positive operating NPAT for the first time since FY13. 

Significant increase in the Australian fleet’s scale and enhanced workshop capabilities 

In line with our strategy, Emeco has recently made two significant acquisitions. In November 2017, Emeco 
acquired Force Equipment Pty Ltd (Force). The Force acquisition  significantly increased Emeco’s scale by 
providing Emeco with 179 high quality, low hour machines to complement the Emeco fleet.  

With four strategically located workshops around Australia, Force’s retail maintenance business also allowed 
Emeco to widen our customer offering and providing a new source of low capital intensity earnings. In addition 
to  this,  the  Force  maintenance  capability  also  provides  Emeco  with  in-house  major  component  rebuild 
capabilities,  allowing  us  to  reduce  our  reliance  on  external  service  providers  and  mitigate  Emeco’s  risk  of 
critical component supply disruption in a tight market. Since the acquisition of Force, Emeco has been able to 
utilise these workshops to realise material cost and capex savings. 

On  30  April  2018,  Emeco  also  announced  an  agreement  to  acquire  Matilda  Equipment  Holdings  Pty  Ltd 
(Matilda), a national equipment rental business. Matilda specialises in individual  high margin rentals of high 
demand, late model ancillary equipment, also providing Emeco with a channel to sustain our ongoing capex 
requirements for such assets. This acquisition completed in early FY19 on 2 July 2018. 

Operational initiatives 

During FY18, Emeco has continued to improve our systems and processes to maintain operational excellence 
and  cost  discipline.  This  has  included  a  focus  on  enhanced  centralised  support  to  the  regions,  including 
centralising  planning  of  our  component  change  outs,  standardising  processes  across  regions  and  using 
technology to drive best practice asset management, particularly given the potential for cost pressures in a 
tightening market. 

Emeco’s  group  operating  utilisation  at  the  end  of  FY18  was  62%,  representing  a  significant  improvement 
compared with 56% at the beginning of the reporting period. There remains capacity to work our fleet harder 
to drive returns through the cycle. The teams continue to increase operating utilisation and rental rates at every 
opportunity, and we have had new project wins and existing project scope expansions leading into FY19. 

Emeco is a leading employer with ~500 employees across Australia, including ~320 skilled tradespeople and 
~20 apprentices. We remain focused on developing our permanent employee workforce rather than relying on 
subcontractors.  Through  centralisation  initiatives,  the  objective  is  to  increase  labour  productivity  and 
efficiencies in a tightening market in order to control costs. 

We continue to focus on safety and a key focus in integrating the Force business (and also Matilda going into 
FY19) is standardising and implementing best safety practices across the business. I am proud that Emeco 
achieved a 45% reduction in its total recordable injury frequency rate over FY18 (down from 2.2 to 1.2). 

Emeco wound down our exposure in Chile at the end of FY17 and disposed of the Canadian business in April 
2018, allowing management to focus on the expanding Australian operations.

Financial performance 

I am pleased to report a return to profitability for the first time since FY13, with operating NPAT for the year of 
$20.1 million. Emeco generated operating EBIT of $83.2 million (up 593% on FY17) and EBITDA of $153.0 
million (up 83% on FY17), from operating revenue of $381.0 million (up 64% on FY17). Operating EBITDA 
margin was up 440bps to 40.2%, driven by our increased scale and continued cost reduction initiatives.  

This has resulted in strong operating cash flow generation in FY18, giving Emeco the flexibility to invest in our 
fleet and the business to promote further growth.   

The strong operating cash flow performance, together with the equity raising to fund the acquisition of Force, 
has driven down Emeco’s net debt / pro forma run rate operating EBITDA to 2.0x3 at the end of FY18 (from 
3.9x4 in FY17). This is in line with Emeco’s aggressive deleveraging strategy in order to position us to refinance 
the notes on more favourable terms.  

Outlook for FY19 

The Company expects to see additional growth in revenue and earnings in FY19, driven by further increases 
in  utilisation  and  rates,  additional  retail  maintenance  services,  a  full  year  contribution  from  Force  and  the 
completion of the acquisition of Matilda.  

I would like to thank the Emeco team for all of their continued hard work throughout the last 12 months, and 
thank our shareholders for their continued support especially through the recent capital raisings.

Operating and Financial Review 

The  Emeco  Group  supplies  safe,  reliable  and  maintained  equipment  rental  solutions  to  the  earthmoving 
industry.  The  Group  also  supplies  external  maintenance  and  component  rebuild  services  for  earthmoving 
equipment and offers EOS, an equipment productivity and management tool, to its customers. Established in 
1972, the business listed on the ASX in July 2006 and is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. 

Emeco  generates  earnings  from  the  provision  of  equipment  rental  and  maintenance  solutions  to  the 
earthmoving  industry.  Operating  costs  principally  comprise  parts,  labour  and  tooling  associated  with 
maintaining  earthmoving  equipment.  Capital  expenditure  principally  comprises  the  purchase  of  equipment 
and replacement of major components over the asset’s life cycle while owned by Emeco.

STRONG OPERATING UTILISATION LEADING INTO FY19 

Group operating utilisation increased over FY18 to end the period at 62% compared to 56% at June 2017. 
The size of the fleet also significantly increased over the period. Management is focused on increasing the 
operating utilisation of machines currently on rent and looking for opportunities to redeploy underutilised fleet 
to generate greater returns.

Group  operating  revenue  from  continuing  operations  increased  to  $381.0  million  in  FY18  (FY17:  $233.0 
million).  Rental  revenue  increased  to  $324.0  million  (FY17:  $208.8  million)  as  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of 
Force  Equipment  (Force)  in  November  2017,  increased  operating  utilisation  of  the  rental  fleet  and 
improvements in rental rates on new and renewed contracts. Maintenance services revenue increased 150.9% 
to  $55.2  million  (FY17:  $22.0  million)  primarily  due  to  the  addition  of  the  external  maintenance  capability 
acquired in the Force acquisition. 

Operating EBITDA margins increased to 40.2% (FY17: 35.8%) as a result of increased rental rates achieved 
across all regions, innovative contract structures with customers and further cost reductions, in addition to the 
benefit  of  previous  cost  control  measures  and  operational  efficiencies.  The  increase  in  EBITDA  margin  is 
especially strong given the lower margin, low capital intensity workshop revenue stream acquired  as part of 
Force. EBIT recovery improved operating return on capital (ROC) to 19.6% in FY18 (FY17: 3.3%).

Operating  EBITDA  increased  to  $153.0  million  (up  $69.5  million  or  83.2%  on  FY17)  as  a  result  of  recent 
acquisitions,  increased  utilisation  of  the  fleet  by  customers,  rental  rate  increases  and  cost  management 
measures implemented over FY17 and FY18. Total revenue increased to $381.0 million (up $148.0 million or 
63.5%  on  FY17),  partly  due  to  a  full  year  contribution  of  the  Andy’s  and  Orionstone  businesses  and  the 
acquisition of Force on 30 November 2017. 

Repairs and maintenance expense increased to $104.9 million (FY17: $60.7 million) driven by the larger fleet 
and  higher  operating  utilisation.  As  a  percentage  of  rental  revenue,  repairs  and  maintenance  expense 
increased from 29.1% in FY17 to 32.4%, largely due to catch up maintenance work on the acquired Andy’s 
and Orionstone fleets.  

Due  to  increased  scale  as  well  as  the  addition  of  the  Force  maintenance  workforce  in  November  2017, 
employee  expenses  increased  40.8%  in  FY18  to  $30.0  million  (FY17:  $21.3  million).  Total  headcount  has 
increased from approximately 240 in FY17 to approximately 500 in FY18. 

Other expenses increased to $31.0 million (FY17: $21.4 million) predominately  due to  increased operating 
overheads associated  with growth  in  the company, namely  insurance, property  rental costs and employee 
travel. Costs associated with hired in equipment and labour, predominately equipment operating leases and 
subcontract  labour,  declined  by  41.8%  due  to  the  increased  ability  to  replace  this  equipment  with  owned 
equipment and a concerted effort to replace subcontract labour with full time employees where feasible. Refer 
to note 8 in the financial statements for further breakdown of other expenses (page 70). 

Depreciation expense increased to $68.9 million in FY18 (FY17: $70.6 million) driven by the increased scale 
of fleet from recent acquisitions and increased utilisation of equipment.

The  written  down  value  (WDV)  of  the  rental  fleet  increased  to  $399.5  million  in  FY18  primarily  due  to  the 
acquisition of Force, adding an additional $59.2 million. The size of the rental fleet in Australia has increased 
significantly  over  the  past  18  months  as  a  result  of  the  recent  acquisitions  and  innovative  asset  swaps  to 
exchange fleets from the international businesses for machines in Australia.  

An impairment loss on plant and equipment of $11.1 million was incurred in FY18, down from $18.4 million in 
FY17 (refer to note 22,) as the business continued to rationalise non-core fleet acquired through the recent 
acquisitions  and  dispose  of  assets  approaching  the  end  of  their  useful  life.  The  impairment  of  plant  and 
equipment relates to the assets designated as held for sale during the period (refer to note 15). 

We continually review our rental fleet, matching fleet mix to rental demand to maximise returns on investment. 
Idle units identified as having low rental demand, are no longer profitable or approaching end of useful life are 
transferred to non-current assets held for sale and are actively marketed through Emeco’s global network of 
brokers.

Note: 2018 results include Canada discontinued operation and exclude Chile discontinued operations. 

Operating EBITDA increased from $83.5 million in FY17 to $153.0 million in FY18 and, in combination with 
improved working capital, free cash flow increased by $75.3 million to $73.7 million.  

Working capital management improved over in FY18 as the working capital inefficiencies associated with the 
acquisition of the Andy’s and Orionstone businesses was rectified. 1H18 included the receipt of $12.0 million 
of funds associated with the Chilean asset swap at the end of FY17. The working capital management of the 
Group  was not  impacted by  the addition of the Force workshop operations and  continued to strengthen  in 
2H18 with reduced debtor days outstanding and beneficial supplier terms. 

Net capital expenditure increased by $57.1 million due to the significant increase in the size of the fleet over 
the last 12 months, increased utilisation and catch up capital component replacement required on machines 
acquired from Andy’s and Orionstone in late FY17. Disposals predominately related to the sale of assets at 
the end of life in addition to rationalising fleet added through recent business acquisitions that were non-core 
to the Emeco rental fleet.

STRENGTHENED BALANCE SHEET 

Following the successful debt restructuring in FY17 and recapitalisation of the business, the Company has 
continued to delever the business through increased earnings and the ability to convert these earnings into 
sustained cash flows.

1.  Movement is due to the decline in the AUD/USD (June17: 0.7692, June18: 0.7391) 

Emeco’s adjusted net debt decreased to $400.8 million at 30 June 2018 from $457.1 million at 30 June 2017. 
As at 30 June 2018, the net amount of US$355.9 million in notes are outstanding. These secured notes mature 
in March 2022 and a semi-annual coupon of 9.25% is payable in January and July each year. The note terms 
do not contain maintenance covenants.  

The semi-annual coupon relating to US$230.0 million of the US$355.9 million of notes has been hedged to 
AUD to  provide cashflow certainty  of interest payments.  US$100 million  principal of the US$355.9m notes 
held has been hedged. Due to the movements in the Australian dollar between the inception of the hedge on 
31 March 2017 and 30 June 2018, a net hedge liability of $2.2 million has been recognised at June 2018.  

At 1 July 2017, Emeco had a  A$65 million revolving credit facility (RCF) consisting of a A$35 million cash 
advance facility and a A$30 million bank guarantee facility which matures in March 2020. In April 2018, as a 
result of the reduced requirement for the guarantee facility following the exit of the international businesses 
the $30 million facility was reduced to A$5 million to reduce the costs associated with the unutilised portion of 
this facility. At 30 June 2018 the RCF was undrawn and $3.5 million of the bank guarantee facility was utilised. 

Finance lease liabilities decreased from $9.8 million at 30 June 2017 to $1.2 million at 30 June 2018 as the 
Company  closed  out  multiple  leases  acquired  from  the  Andy’s  and  Orionstone  businesses  and  assigned 
several leases through the disposal of the Canadian business.  

Emeco’s cash balance was $171.4 million at 30 June 2018 which included $87.5 million in relation to the net 
cash received from the capital raising associated with the acquisition of Matilda Equipment. This cash was 
subsequently  used  to  complete  the  acquisition  of  Matilda  in  July  2018  and  has  been  removed  from  the 
calculation  of  net  debt  at  30  June  2018.  Refer  to  note  24  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements  for 
additional information on Emeco’s financing facilities. 

Emeco’s leverage ratio has improved from 5.5x at 30 June 2017 to 2.6x at 30 June 2018 due to recognition of 
a  full  year  of  earnings  from  Andy’s  and  Orionstone,  increased  cash  reserves  associated  with  greater 
conversion of earnings to cash flow from operations and the acquisition of the Force business in November 
2017.  

In line with FY17 the board declared a nil interim and final dividend for FY18.

Main markets 
Comprised  of  the  segments  being  Australian  rental  and  Workshops.  The  Australian  rental  business  is 
diversified across bulk commodities and metals with segment performance summarised below: 

Australian rental 
Revenue in the Australian rental segment increased by 81.2% to $355.2 million with operating EBITDA margins 
increasing  from  32.9%  in  FY17  to  47.3%  in  FY18  as  a  result  of  increased  rental  rates,  innovative  contract 
structures and utilisation combined with tight cost controls. The Australia rental business improved operating 
utilisation 62% at the end of FY18 (FY17: 56%). The size of the Australian rental fleet has approximately tripled 
over  the  course  of  the  last  18  months  as  a  result  of  acquisitions  and  strategic  asset  swaps  to  exchange 
equipment from the discontinued overseas businesses for equipment located in Australia.  

Workshops 
The Workshops  segment  was  established  through  the  acquisition  of  Force  in  November  2018  and  earned 
revenue of $25.8 million for the seven months of ownership, excluding $17.0 million of work performed for the 
Australian rental business. Due to the low capital intensity of the Workshops operations, the EBITDA margin 
of this segment is significantly lower than the traditional rental business. Workshops contributed $2.7 million 
to  the  Group’s  Operating  EBITDA  at  a  margin  of  10.5%.  The Workshops  provide  the  rental  business  with 
vertical integration and cost savings by providing the capability to rebuild major components. The workshops 
have also provided opportunities for Emeco to provide rental services to workshop customers that were not 
traditionally customers of Emeco. 

International operations 
The operations of the Chilean business were discontinued in June 2017.  

An  agreement  was  entered  into  with  Emeco’s  Canadian  strategic  partner  Heavy  Metal  Equipment  Rental 
(HMER) in FY17 to manage the remaining customer contracts in Canada. In April 2018, ownership of Emeco’s 
Canadian entity  was transferred to HMER. The Company  has no further exposure related to the Canadian 
business.

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 strategy officer, 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

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

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 33 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

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 

Practices aligned with objective 

Remunerate fairly and 
appropriately 

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

Benchmark  remuneration  structures  to  ensure  alignment  with  industry 
trends. 

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

Align executive interests with 
those of shareholders 

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

Attract, retain and develop 
proven performers 

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.

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 FY18, this process 
did not result in any change in any executive’s fixed remuneration.   

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 

The Company is committed to regularly reviewing senior management variable remuneration arrangements to 
reward and retain proven performers within the Group.  Variable remuneration consists of short and long term 
incentives.   

In FY18, the variable remuneration review took into account the Group’s significant recent transformation and 
key items of focus for the FY18 financial year, including continuing to deleverage the Company. This resulted 
in  the  design  of  Emeco’s  new  hybrid  incentive  plan  (EHIP)  for  FY18  which  includes  both  short  term,  cash 
incentive  (STI)  and  long  term,  equity  security  incentive  (LTI)  elements,  award  of  which  is  determined  by 
reference to the Company’s performance over FY18.   

Emeco believes that continuing to retain its long-term, experienced and execution-focused management team 
has  been  instrumental  in  Emeco  attacking  its  challenges  over  the  last  12  months.    As  such,  retaining  and 
rewarding  senior  management  is  considered  key  in  continuing  to  drive  the  Company’s  performance  and 
achievement of the Group’s business and strategic objectives and therefore value generation for shareholders.  

Awards under the FY18 EHIP are for performance assessed over the FY18 financial year, however, the actual 
awards  are  scheduled  to  be  made  at  different  points  in  time.    The  cash  component  of  the  FY18  EHIP  is 
determined,  and  paid,  after  the  Company’s  FY18  performance  is  assessed  against  the  key  performance 
indicators  (KPIs).    See  section  3.3.1.3  for  more  information.    The  equity  component  of  the  EHIP  is  also 
determined by reference to the KPIs but is  subject to  an additional service condition  in order to incentivise 
senior managers (including executives) to continue with the Group.  The ultimate deferred award of the equity 
security component also involves an inherent share price KPI over the vesting period.  See section 3.3.1.2 for 
more information.   

For  each  executive  offered  awards  under  the  EHIP  in  FY18,  the  below  table  sets  out  the  maximum 
remuneration attributable to: 

 

 

short term, cash incentive as a percentage of total fixed remuneration (TFR); and 

long term, equity security incentive as a percentage of TFR if the executives remain employed by the 
Group until the vesting date (see table 14 for details), 

if maximum performance is achieved.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

Table 10:  Components of variable remuneration 

3.3.1  EHIP 

Given the currently highly dynamic status of the Company, the EHIP has been designed to ensure focus on 
the Company’s current objectives, acknowledging these may change with the transformation of the Company 
over a longer period, whilst retaining and rewarding the senior management team thereby enhancing alignment 
between senior management remuneration and wealth creation for shareholders.  

The actual amount of the awards under the EHIP are determined after the end of the financial year in light of 
the Company’s financial performance against  KPIs.  See section 3.3.1.3 below for more information on the 
KPIs.  See tables 11, 13 & 14 for information on actual incentives awarded.  

All  executive  awards  require  review  and  approval  by  the  remuneration  and  nomination  committee  and  the 
board.  

3.3.1.1   Cash / STI 

An executive’s maximum achievable cash award is set as a percentage of TFR (see table 10 above for details).  
The actual amount of the cash award under the EHIP is determined and paid after the end of the financial year 
in light of the Company’s performance against the KPIs.     

3.3.1.2   Equity security / LTI 

The maximum achievable equity security award for each executive is also set out as a percentage of TFR in 
table 10 above.   

EHIP equity awards are rights to fully paid ordinary Emeco shares (Shares), subject to the service condition 
being met.  These awards may be in the form of performance rights or performance shares (Rights).  The only 
difference  between  performance  rights  and  performance  shares  is  that  performance  shares  are  backed  by 
Shares on issue whereas performance rights are not.   Rights that do not vest will lapse. 

Award 
Rights  are  awarded  after  the  Company’s  FY18  performance  is  assessed  against  the  KPIs.    The  award  of 
Rights under the FY18 EHIP is at no cost  to the employee  and is calculated by reference to the July 2017 
VWAP of Emeco shares.   

Service condition 
Subject to continued employment with the Group, EHIP Rights will vest in FY20 on the vesting date (see table 
14  below).    Retaining  senior  management  is  particularly  important  to  the  Company  given  the  Group’s 
significant growth and focus on deleveraging in  order to position the Group well for refinancing the Group’s 
notes due in 2022. 

3.3.1.3   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  include important  non-financial  metrics and goals  which are aligned  with the  long term 
performance and sustainability of the Company.   In FY18, a safety KPI was once again included given the 
importance of safety to the Group’s  workforce, customers and stakeholders.  A deleveraging  KPI  was also 
included  to  further  focus  executive  efforts  on  strengthening  the  Group’s  balance  sheet  and  the  long  term 
sustainability and success of the Group.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

The FY18 EHIP provided for pro-rata entitlements where performance in respect of the KPIs was between the 
thresholds and targets (see table 11).  In FY18, the executives had identical KPIs and no personal KPIs so as 
to  focus  executive  efforts  on  the  overall  performance  and  strategic  objectives  of  the  Group  in  addition  to 
promoting collaboration and support between executives, senior managers and the Group as a whole. 

Table 11 below sets out the KPIs for the FY18 EHIP and the weightings attributable to each of them. In the 
board’s view, these KPIs align the reward of executives with the interests of shareholders. 

Table 11:  FY18 EHIP KPI weightings and entitlements

TRIFR = Number of recordable injuries x 1,000,000 hours  

Total hours worked  

3.4  Prohibition of hedging securities 

Emeco’s share trading policy prohibits executives, directors, officers and employees of the Group 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  are  focused  on  driving  and  rewarding  leadership  performance  and 
behaviours consistent with the Company’s overall performance and strategic objectives, including increasing 
shareholder  wealth.    By  setting  KPIs  which  are  focused  on  the  overall  performance  of  the  Company  and 
deleveraging  to  ensure  a  sustainable  business  throughout  the  mining  cycles,  the  interests  of  Emeco’s 
executives  are  aligned  with  the  interests  of  the  Company  and  its  shareholders.    Further,  the  Company 
considers that KPIs which are consistent across the executive team, promote a strong culture of performance, 
collaboration, support and continuity which is vital to driving Emeco’s financial performance and its business 
and strategic objectives.  

FY17  and  FY18  have  been  periods  of  transformation  for  Emeco.    Going  into  FY17,  Emeco  had  significant 
challenges reflected in its share price.  However, through cost discipline, focus on the Group’s customers and 
the  Group’s  recapitalisation  and  acquisitions  of  Andy’s  Earthmovers  (Asia  Pacific)  Pty  Ltd  (Andy’s)  and 
Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd (Orionstone), Emeco’s financial performance and leverage ratios improved.  This 
resulted in 100% of the executives’ target short term incentive being awarded in FY17.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

Throughout FY18, the Company remained focused on cash generation through increasing rental rates and 
utilisation, reducing costs, and managing capital expenditure and working capital in order to deleverage and 
further strengthen its balance sheet.  Operating EBITDA is a good indicator of the Company’s cash generating 
ability.  The acquisition of Force Equipment Pty Ltd (Force Equipment) in November 2017 has also increased 
the  Group’s  ability  to  generate  revenue  and  manage  capital  expenditure  through  the  addition  of  fleet, 
workshops and component rebuild capability and, overall, has enhanced the Group’s financial flexibility and 
ability to reduce debt.  

Retaining senior management over the period and throughout the Force Equipment, Andy’s and Orionstone 
integrations  has been fundamental to Emeco’s significant improvements in performance  and  in  placing the 
Group in a leading market position from which to benefit from  the current stronger market conditions.  As a 
result  of  Emeco’s  improved  performance  over  FY18,  the  KPIs  were  100%  achieved  and,  accordingly, 
executives will be rewarded with maximum short term and long term awards under EHIP.  

Rights  awarded  under  the  EHIP  are  dependent  on  continued  employment  with  the  Group  over  the  vesting 
period.  As such, the value of rights is ultimately dependent on the share price at the end of the vesting period 
and  therefore  incorporate  an  inherent  share  price  KPI  over  the  vesting  period.    No  incentives  under  the 
Company’s previous long term incentive plans vested in FY18.  See section 6 for more detail. 

A summary of the KPIs for the FY18 EHIP plans are set out in the following table: 

KPI 

Financial 

Cash 

Equity 

Operating EBITDA; Leverage   Share price 

Non-financial 

Safety 

Continued employment 

The awards to executives in FY17 and FY18 reflect the significant improvement in Company performance over 
this period.  The extent to which Emeco has set financial KPIs which are genuinely challenging, and which 
mean that variable remuneration is genuinely at risk, is highlighted by the fact that in FY16 executives only 
received 25% of their target short term incentive as the operating EBITDA target was not met.  In FY15, no 
executive subject to the financial hurdle received a STI payment.  In FY14, no STIs in respect of financial KPIs 
were awarded however STIs were awarded for safety, personal goals and the sale of idle assets KPIs being 
met.  Details of the FY18 KPIs are set out above in section 3.3.1.3.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

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 decline and close 
at  20  cents,  8  cents,  3  cents  on  30  June  2014,  30  June  2015  and  30  June  2016  respectively.    FY17  saw 
improving  market  conditions,  an  increase  in  the  Company’s  earnings  and  completion  of  the  Group’s 
recapitalisation and the acquisitions of Andy’s and Orionstone (Transaction).   Accordingly, the Company’s 
share price increased, closing at 10.5 cents on 30 June 2017.  In FY18, market conditions and the Company’s 
performance  continued  to  improve  and,  towards  the  end  of  the  first  half,  the  Company  acquired  Force 
Equipment,  thereby  expanding  the  Group’s  fleet  and,  importantly,  acquiring  the  strategically  important 
component rebuild capability providing vertical integration.  At market close at the end of FY18, the Company’s 
share price reached 37.5 cents.  Notwithstanding this, no long term securities have vested in the last five years. 

The  change  to  vesting  conditions  for  the  Company’s  long  term  equity  incentive  plans  in  recent  years  has 
provided senior managers with a more meaningful incentive to remain with the Group over the longer term.  
The  Company  regards  retaining  senior  managers  as  a  vital  factor  in  the  performance  of  the  Group  in  the 
immediate and longer term.  The Company’s innovative technological platforms, in addition to the enhanced 
fleet  and  capability,  facilitated  by  the  acquisitions  of  Andy’s,  Orionstone,  Force  Equipment  and  Matilda 
Equipment Holdings Pty Ltd, positions the Group well to add further value for Emeco customers and increase 
Company earnings.  The value of equity awards upon vesting is wholly dependent on the Company’s share 
price, which aligns executives’ interests with that 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  usually  reviewed  and  benchmarked  annually  in  August.    However,  given 
changes  to  the  board  composition  in  April  2017  in  connection  with  the  Group’s  recapitalisation  and  the 
acquisitions of Andy’s and Orionstone, the review did not take place in FY18.    

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 of the board 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 increases to $9,042 for a director who chairs a committee.  All amounts specified in this 
section are inclusive of superannuation contributions.  

Due to the small number of Australian based  non-executive directors in FY18, all Australian  non-executive 
directors sit on more than one committee.  However, non-executive directors only get paid for sitting on one 
committee.

transactional bonus of $1,000,000.  The transactional bonus was entirely dependent on the Transaction completing and therefore was 
either payable in full or not payable at all.  Mr Testrow elected to exercise his option to share, and directed portions of, the transactional 
bonus to other KMPs in recognition of their significant contributions to completion of the Transaction (see note F below).  

[F]  This  figure  includes  one-off  transactional  cash  bonuses  of  $250,000  and  $100,000  paid  to  Ms  Thao  Pham  and  Ms  Justine  Lea 

respectively in recognition of their significant contributions to completion of the Transaction (see note E above).

5.2  FY18 EHIP STI cash grants 

The terms of the FY18 EHIP plan are discussed at pages 24 to 26. 

Details of the vesting profile of the short term, cash grants awarded to executives in respect of FY18 are set 
out below: 

Table 13:  FY18 executive STI vesting information 

[1]  The minimum short term, cash grant value for each executive is zero.   

The awards to executives in FY18 reflect the significant amount of work undertaken to achieve the Company’s 
objectives. 

6. 

Share-based payments  

The terms of the FY18 EHIP, including applicable performance and service conditions, are discussed at page 
24 to 26. 

Historically most of the Company’s 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.    TSR  performance  conditions  became  particularly  difficult  to  satisfy  after  FY12  given  the 
downturn  in  the  mining  sector  and  this  seemingly  affected  the  value  of  these  plans  as  a  retention  tool.  
Recognising the crucial role senior management have in the recovery of a business, in FY16 the Company 
moved to a retention based long term incentive plan, under which the awards vest at the end of a three-year 
period to incentivise continued service.   

In  FY17,  as  part  of  the  Transaction,  the  Company’s  shareholders  approved  the  establishment  of  the 
management incentive plan (MIP) and the MIP awards to Mr Testrow.  Awards to executives under the MIP 
formed an important aspect of the Transaction and incentivised management to remain with the Group post-
Transaction  and  beyond  in  order  to  achieve  timely  integration  of  the  businesses  and  achievement  of  the 
Group’s  long  term  objectives,  thereby  aligning  the  interests  of  executives  with  the  long  term  interests  of 
shareholders.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

Grants and vesting of equity awards made to executives in connection with the FY18 EHIP and the Company’s 
long term incentive plans in FY15, FY16 and FY17 are set out in the following table: 

Table 14:  Summary of executive KMP allocated, vested or lapsed equity 

[A]  Mr  Ian  Testrow’s  grant  of  awards  under  the:  (i)  FY15  and  FY16  long  term  incentive  plans  were  approved  by  shareholders  on  14 
December 2016; (ii) FY17 MIP was approved by shareholders on 13 March 2017, subject to completion of the Transaction; and (iii) 
FY18 EHIP is subject to shareholder approval at the 2018 annual general meeting. 

[1]  A performance share represents one fully paid ordinary Emeco share on issue.  A performance right is a right to receive one fully paid 
ordinary Emeco share. The vesting of performance shares and performance rights is subject satisfaction of vesting conditions.    
[2]  Vesting is subject to satisfaction of vesting conditions. The minimum total value of the grants for future financial years is zero if the 
service condition is not satisfied. An estimate of the maximum possible total value in future financial years is the fair value at grant 
date multiplied by the number of equity instruments awarded. See section 3.3.1.2 for details of the performance and service conditions 
applicable to awards under the FY18 EHIP.  The performance shares granted under the Company’s FY15 long term plan lapsed due 
to the TSR performance condition not being met.  Full details of the vesting conditions for all prior year equity grants to executives are 
included in the remuneration report for the relevant year. 

[3]  The fair value of the performance shares granted in FY15 and FY16 was determined using a Monte Carlo share price simulation 
model.  The fair value of awards granted under the MIP in FY17 and FY18 EHIP was determined using the 30 day volume weighted 
average price on the grant date.  For all securities, the fair value 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 12) is the portion of the fair value of the securities 
recognised in FY18.  The fair value of all securities is not related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that an executive may ultimately 
realise if the equity instruments vest.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

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 2018 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  earthmoving  equipment  solutions  to  customers  in  the 
earthmoving  industry  as  well  as  the  maintenance  and  remanufacturing  of  major  components  of  heavy 
earthmoving equipment.  

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  (AAS)  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 Group has adopted all of the new and revised 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective 
for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2017. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  board  of  directors  on  20 
August 2018. 

(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: 

  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. The impact of 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:

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. Due to the recent history of losses and cyclical nature of the industry, the company has only 
brought to account $67,932,000 of previously unrecognised Australian tax losses as a deferred tax 
asset  of  $20,380,000  onto  the  balance  sheet  at  this  time.  Australian  tax  losses  of  $121,973,000 
(gross) remain unrecognised and available to the Group. 

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).  The  Company  applies  significant 
judgement  and  assumptions  in  determining  the  recoverable  amount  of  assets. Changes  in  these 
assumptions could impact the recoverable amount and accordingly impairment.  

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. 

Business combinations 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for business combinations (refer note 3(r)), 
assets and liabilities acquired under business combinations are recognised at their fair value at the 
date of acquisition. Estimates and assumptions have been made about the collectability of trade and 
other  receivables  and  fair  value  of  inventory  and  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
provisions. Refer to note 36 for further information on business combinations and note 5(h) for details 
on determination of fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

3  Significant accounting policies 

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

(a)   Basis of consolidation 
(i)   Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed 
to, or has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included 
in the consolidated financial statements from the date  on which control commences until the date 
on which control ceases. 

(ii)  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.  

(b)   Foreign currency 
(i)   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.  

(ii)   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 average exchange rates for the period. 

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.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c)   Financial instruments 
(i)   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 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 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 hedging instrument.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c)   Financial instruments (continued) 
(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 hedging 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.

(v)   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. 

(d)  Property, plant and equipment 
(i)   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, an 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.

(d)  Property, plant and equipment (continued) 
(ii)   Subsequent costs  

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

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Buildings and leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Office equipment 
Motor vehicles 
Sundry plant 

15 years 
3 – 15 years 
3 – 10 years 
5 years 
7 – 10 years 

(e) 
(i) 

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. 

(ii)  Goodwill 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the 
acquisition  over  the  Group’s  interest  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and 
contingent liabilities of the acquiree. 

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

(e) 
(iii)  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.  

(iv)  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. 

(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.

Impairment  

(h)  
(i)   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; 
 

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; 
 
  observable  data  indicating  that  there  is  measurable  decrease  in  expected  cash  flows  from  a 

the disappearance of an active market for a security; or 

group 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 
cash generating units (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)   Employee benefits 
(i)   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.

(j)   Employee benefits (continued) 
(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  Retention  Incentive  (RI)  plan  and  the  hybrid  incentive  plan  (EHIP)  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. 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. 

(b)  A short term incentive (STI) plan allows the senior management 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  operating  EBITDA,  leverage,  safety  and 
personal goals. These benefits are accounted for in accordance with AASB 2 and AASB 119.

(k)  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. 

(i) 

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. 

(l)   Revenue 
(i) 

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. 

(ii)  Goods sold 

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

 (iii)  Maintenance services 

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

(m)   Leases 

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

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

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

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

(n)   Finance income and finance costs 

The Group’s finance income and finance costs include: 
interest income; 
 
 
interest expense; 
  dividend income; 
  discount on repurchased debt; 
 
 
  withholding tax; 
 
  amortisation of borrowing costs capitalised using the effective interest method. 

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

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

(o)  

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

(i)  Current tax 

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

(ii)  Deferred tax 

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

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 entities acquired during the period were added to the tax consolidated group on the 
date of acquisition. 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.  

(r)   Business combinations 

Acquisitions  of  businesses  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method.  The  consideration 
transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of 
the  acquisition  date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred  by  the  Group,  liabilities  incurred  by  the 
Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange 
for  control  of  the  acquiree.  Acquisition  related  costs  are  generally  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as 
incurred.  

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised 
at  their  fair  value,  except  that  deferred  tax  assets  or  liabilities,  and  assets  or  liabilities  related  to 
employee  benefit  arrangements  are  recognised  and  measured  in  accordance  with  AASB  112 
Income Taxes and AASB 119 respectively. 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets 
acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts 
of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  exceeds  the  sum  of  the  consideration 
transferred,  the  amount  of  any  non-controlling  interests  in  the  acquiree  and  the  fair  value  of  the 
acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

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 
2018. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. 

(i)  AASB 16 Leases (2016) 

AASB 16 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. 
AASB  16  applies  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019  and  replaces 
AASB 117 Leases and the related interpretations.  
As lessor accounting will remain largely unaffected on application of AASB 16, any impact on the 
Group’s financial statements will arise from operating commitments relating to leases on properties 
and  vehicles.  At  reporting  date,  the  Group  has  commitments  of  $23,810,000  relating  to  non-
cancellable operating leases. The application of AASB 16 is expected to change the expense profile 
relating to operating leases with the following effect on the financial statements: 
 
  Replacement  of  operating  expense  by  amortisation  and  interest  expense  in  the  statement  of 

Increase in both total assets and total liabilities; 

profit or loss and other comprehensive income; and 

  Reclassification of cash flows relating to lease repayments from operating to financing activities.  
The Group continues to assess the potential impact when reviewing new contracts that will fall under 
this standard.  

(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. In reviewing the types of contracts held with customers, management does not believe the 
changes  to  the  standard  will  have  a  material  impact  on  the  financial  performance  and  financial 
position of the Group. The Group’s rental customer contracts constitute leases and will continue to 
be accounted for in  line  with lessor accounting.  Management are in the process of assessing the 
impact  of  this  standard  on  the  maintenance  services  revenue  stream,  however  it’s  expected  that 
there will not be a material change in how this is accounted for.   

(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. 

In  assessing  the  anticipated  impact  of  AASB  9,  management  has  reviewed  historical  losses  on 
financial assets carried at amortised cost. Based on this analysis, management does not expect the 
change in the standard to have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

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)  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 property, plant and equipment has been 
determined with reference to an independent external valuation in addition to comparisons to similar 
assets currently on market. 

(b)  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 and interim reporting date. 

(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 and interim 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)  Share based payment transactions 

The fair value of employee share options, management incentive plan shares, long term incentive 
plan, retention incentive plan and hybrid 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.

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(f) 

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. 

(h)  Business combinations 

The fair value of consideration supplied for the acquisition of entities has been determined using the 
market price of the Company’s listed share price. The methodology has also been applied to the 
valuation of investments acquired though the business combination. The fair value of property, plant 
and equipment has been determined with reference to an independent external valuation in addition 
to comparisons to similar assets currently on market. The fair value of inventory acquired has been 
valued  determined  with  reference  to  the  most  recent  purchase  of  similar  items  from  external 
suppliers.  The  collectability  of  trade  and  other  receivables  has  been  assessed  and  compared  to 
subsequent receipt of payment in determining the fair value of this asset class.

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.  

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:

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 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 (2017: $700,000,000).  The Australian business held insurance for the entire financial year 
ended 30 June 2018. 

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 2018 the Group’s doubtful debts provision for continuing and discontinued operations was 
$352,000 (2017: $200,000). As at 30 June 2018 the Group recognised bad debt write offs for continuing 
and discontinued operations for a total amount of $339,000 (2017: $24,000). 

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 analysis of the underlying customers’ credit 
ratings.

Financial instruments (continued) 
Credit risk (continued) 

The movement  in  the  allowance  for  impairment  in  respect  of  trade  receivables  during  the  year  was  as 
follows: 

Cash 
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $171,431,000 at 30 June 2018 (2017: $16,978,000), 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 2018 the Group held 
$116,000 of bank guarantees (2017: $116,000) and $Nil of prepayments (2017: $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  2018  $3,531,000  guarantees  were  outstanding  (2017: 
$4,172,000). 

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

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

The Group has issued secured fixed interest notes to the value of US$360,818,000 which matures on 30 
March 2022. The nominal fixed interest rate is 9.25%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity. 
Of the notes on issue, the Group holds US$4,890,000 which has been netted off against the total notes 
outstanding. 

The Group has an A$40,000,000 facility that matures in March 2020 which has two sub facilities consisting 
of  a  Revolving  Cash  Advance  Facility  (RCF)  of  A$35,000,000  and  a  Bank  Guarantee  Facility  of 
A$5,000,000. The bank guarantee facility was reduced from A$30,000,000 during the period to reduce the 
holding costs of the unrequired portion of this facility. The bank guarantee facility attracts a fee of 2.75% 
on the unutilised  portion of the facility  and a fee  of 5.5% on the outstanding balance of guarantees  on 
issue. The nominal interest rate on the RCF is equal to the aggregate of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) 
plus a margin of between 5% and 7% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio. The facility also attracts 
an undrawn line fee of between 2.5% and 3.5% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio on the undrawn 
available  balance  of  the  facility.  The  facilities  require  the  Group  to  maintain  a  collateral  coverage  ratio 
greater than 3.0x and a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.2x. At year end the Group had drawn 
$Nil of the RCF but had utilised $3,531,000 of the bank guarantee facility. 

The Group has a facility agreement comprising a credit card facility with a limit of A$150,000 and is secured 
via a cash cover account.  

The  Group  has  finance  lease  facilities  totalling  A$1,155,000  (2017:  A$9,801,000)  which  have  various 
maturities up to November 2020.  

The Group has financed its insurance payments with A$1,857,000 remaining at year end which matures 
in January 2019. 

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

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or 
at significantly different amounts. 

The gross inflows/(outflows) disclosed in the previous tables represents the contractual undiscounted cash

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 functional currency of the Group is the Australian dollar (AUD). The Group holds borrowings in United 
States Dollars (USD) for which currency risk exists. 

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. 

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 2017 the Group  cancelled US$282,720,000 of notes in the  144A  high  yield  market and  were 
replaced  with  US$360,818,000  new  notes  of  which  US$4,890,000  were  held  by  the  Group.  The  net 
exposure of the notes to the Group at 30 June 2018 is US$355,927,000 of which US$230,000,000 face 
value of the annual coupon has been hedged and US$100,000,000 face value of the principal has been 
hedged to Australian Dollars.  As derivatives have been entered into, hedge accounting has been applied 
to these instruments. At 30 June 2018, the Group was unhedged US$125,927,000 face value of the annual 
coupon and US$255,927,000 face value of the net principal outstanding.

Sensitivity analysis 
A weakening of the Australian dollar, as indicated below, against the following currencies at 30 June 2018 
would  have  affected  the  measurement  of  financial  instruments  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and 
increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on 
foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end 
of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain 
constant.  The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2017, 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.

Profile 
At the end of the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments 
as reported to the management of the Group was: 

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. These instruments were disposed of in September 2016. 

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. These instruments 
were disposed of in September 2016. 

The cross currency interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are accounted for as cash flow 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  of  the  USD  fixed  rate  interest 
payments  on  the  debt  principal  amount  of  the  Company’s  outstanding  debt  and  the  foreign  currency 
remeasurement risk arising on the principal balance every six months on the Company’s outstanding debt.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 
A  change  of  100  basis  points  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  would  have  increased/(decreased) 
equity by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign 
currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2017. 

Detailed below is the profit and loss impact of cash flow hedges during the year. 

During the year the hedging relationships were highly effective and no ineffectiveness was recognised in 
the profit or loss for the year.  The hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective throughout the life 
of the hedge and is not expected to impact the profit and loss other than the transfer of the hedge reserve 
to profit and loss as the hedge matures.

Fair values 
Interest rates used for determining fair value 
The  range  of  interest  rates  used  to  discount  estimated  cash  flows,  when  applicable,  are  based  on  the 
Government yield curve at the reporting date plus an adequate credit spread excluding margins, and were 
as follows: 

Fair values versus carrying amounts 
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the balance 
sheet, are as follows: 

(1)  Carried at amortised cost with movements in fair value of the underlying hedge item recorded in the 

profit and loss statement. 

All fair values above have been determined with the use of level 3 inputs which are unobservable.  The 
basis for determining fair values is disclosed in note 5.

Fair value hierarchy 
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 with the exception of certain investments in shares that are 
categorised at level 1. 

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

Historically,  the  board  maintained  a  balance  between  higher  returns  possible  with  higher  levels  of 
borrowings and the security afforded by a sound capital position.  However, given current market condition, 
the board seeks to increase levels of cash held to maintain a strong capital position.   

The Company’s  primary return metric is return on capital (ROC),  which the Group defines  as earnings 
before interest and tax (EBIT) divided by invested capital defined as the average over the period of equity, 
plus interest bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s ROC for the year was 11.7% 
(2017: (22.6%)). This includes non-recurring items of $33,500,000 (2017: $97,800,000) after tax. Had the 
non-recurring items not been included in the Group EBIT return on capital for the year would have been 
19.6% (2017: 3.2%).  

The Group’s return on invested capital at the end of the reporting period was as follows: 

7  Other income 

(1) 

(2) 

Included in net profit on the sale of non-current assets is the sale of rental equipment, including those 
non-current assets classified as held for sale. The gross proceeds from the sale of this equipment in 
2018 was $22,726,000 (2017: $93,518,000 which included $64,430,000 of non-cash assets sales). 
Included in sundry income are fees charged on overdue accounts, bad debts recovered, and receipts 
from  trade  receivables  not  recognised  at  the  point  of  acquisition  of  the  Orionstone  and  Andy’s 
Earthmovers businesses.

The share based payment reserve comprises the expenses incurred from the issue of the Company’s 
securities under its employee share/option plans (refer note 3(j)(v)). 

Dividends (1) 
No dividends were paid or declared during the year (2017: $Nil) or prior to the release of this report. 

Franking account 

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 (2017: $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 $65,146,000 (2017: $46,215,000) franking credits.

14  Discontinued operations 

In April 2018, Emeco entered into an agreement to transfer  ownership of Emeco Canada Limited to its 
local  partner,  HMER  to  enable  the  Company  to  exit  the  Canadian  business.  The  FY17  comparative 
information has been restated. 

In June 2017 the board resolved to exit the Chilean business after a strategic review of the operations. 
The business is currently in the process of being wound down and is not expected to materially contribute 
to the future earnings of the Group. 

The profit from discontinued operations of $6,056,000 (2017: loss of $23,296,000) is attributable entirely 
to the owners of the Company.

15  Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale 

During the year $14,925,000 of non-current assets were transferred from property, plant and equipment 
into non-current assets held for sale. Assets previously classified and classified during the period as held 
for sale were further impaired by $11,136,000 to their fair value less cost to sell based on market prices of 
similar equipment. 

As  at  30  June  2018,  the  non-current  assets  held  for  sale  comprised  assets  of  $8,007,000  (2017: 
$26,421,000).  These relate to plant and equipment in Australia and one piece of equipment in Chile. Level 
2  fair  value  hierarchy  has  been  used  in  determining  the  fair  value  with  reference  to  an  independent 
valuation utilising observable market valuations. The Group is actively marketing these assets and they 
are expected to be disposed of within 12 months.  

Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale relate to assets designated as held for 
sale that have outstanding finance lease repayments remaining. All remaining payments are due within 
six months.

16  Segment reporting 

The  Group  has  four  (2017:  three)  reportable  segments,  as  described  below,  which  are  the  Group’s 
strategic  business  units.    The  strategic  business  units  offer  different  products  and  services,  and  are 
managed separately because they require different operational strategies for each geographic region.  For 
each  of  the  strategic  business  units,  the  managing  director  and  board  of  directors  review  internal 
management reports on a monthly basis.  The following summary describes the operations in each of the 
Group’s reportable segments: 

Australian 
Rental 

Australian 
Workshops 

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

Provides maintenance services to customers in Australia. 

Canada 
(discontinued) 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  maintenance  services  to  customers  who  are  predominately 
within Canada. This segment was discontinued in April 2018. 

Chile 
(discontinued) 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Chile. This segment was discontinued in June 2017. 

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 earnings before 
interest,  income  tax,  depreciation  and  amortisation  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.

Depreciation 
The  Group  has  changed  how  it  manages  depreciation  from  an  individual  asset  to  individual 
componentisation of asset level. The reassessments on componentisation that reflects estimated useful 
life and residual value have decreased depreciation by $16,772,000 in the current year. 

Security 
The Group’s assets are subject to a fixed and floating charge under the terms of the new notes issued. 
Refer note 24 for further details. 

Impairment tests for cash generating units 
The Group conducts impairment testing annually at 30 June each year and when impairment indicators 
exist. At 30 June 2018, it was determined that no significant impairment indicators existed that warranted 
further impairment testing.  

At 30 June 2017 it was determined that impairment indicators existed and further impairment testing was 
conducted with the recoverable amount of its cash generating units (CGU) calculated using a value in use 
and fair value less costs to sell methodologies. CGU’s are classified as the operating segments of the 
Group. The Australia CGU was valued on a value in use methodology which is based on discounted cash 
flows for five years plus a terminal value. The Chile CGU was discontinued in June 2017 and consequently 
has been valued at Fair Value less Costs to Sell. The Canada CGU was valued on a Fair Value less Costs 
to Sell basis.  

Determining  recoverable  amount  requires  the  exercise  of  significant  judgements  for  both  internal  and 
external factors. Judgements for external factors, including but not limited to 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 was 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 2017. 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 Australia rental CGU valuation was 9.5%. For future cashflows 
of the Australia 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  were  based  on  Emeco’s  five  year  outlook  taking  into  account  all  available 
information at this current time and are subject to change over time.   A compound annual growth rate 
(CAGR) of 1.3% was used over the five years of the forecast.

Bank loans 
The  Group  has  an  A$40,000,000  facility  that  matures  in  March  2020  which  has  two  sub  facilities 
consisting of a revolving cash advance facility (RCF) of A$35,000,000 and a bank guarantee Facility of 
A$5,000,000. The bank guarantee facility was reduced from A$30,000,000 during the period to reduce 
the holding costs of the unrequired portion of this facility.  The bank guarantee facility attracts a fee of 
2.75% on the unutilised portion of the facility and a fee of 5.5% on the outstanding balance of guarantees 
on issue. The nominal interest rate on the RCF is equal to the aggregate of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) 
plus a margin of between 5% and 7% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio. The facility also attracts 
an  undrawn  line  fee  of  between  2.5%  and  3.5%  dependant  on  the  calculated  leverage  ratio  on  the 
undrawn available balance of the facility. The facilities require the Group to maintain a collateral coverage 
ratio greater than 3.0x and a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.2x. At year end the Group had 
drawn $Nil of the RCF but had utilised $3,531,000 of the bank guarantee facility.

27  Share based payments (continued) 

The movement of performance shares and performance rights on issue during the year were as follows: 

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 value weighted average price (2017: 
RI’s  granted,  measured  using  a  value  weighted  average  price).    Expected  volatility  is  estimated  by 
considering  the  Company’s  historical  daily  and  monthly  share  price  movement  and  an  analysis  of 
comparable  companies.  Volatility  has  not  been  included  in  the  2017  and  2018  valuation  due  to  the 
incentives not containing market vesting conditions. Market conditions are detailed in note 3(j)(v).

28  Commitments 

(a)  Operating lease commitments 

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

During the year ended 30 June 2018 an amount of $14,145,000 was recognised as an expense in 
profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2017: $17,954,000). 

(b)  Capital commitments 

The Group has entered into commitments for purchases of fixed assets, primarily rental fleet assets, 
with a value of $12,050,000 (2017: $Nil) which are expected to settle at various dates over the next

Guarantees 
The Group has provided bank guarantees in the amount of $3,531,000 (2017: $4,172,000) in relation to 
obligations under operating leases and rental premises. 

Indonesia 
Since the Group announced it would exit its Indonesian operations, the Indonesian tax office commenced 
routine VAT and Corporate income tax audits.  As a consequence the Indonesian tax office have issued 
an assessment which the Group have disputed.  Under local laws an assessment does not become final 
until all appeal avenues have been exhausted.  

The process to liquidate the Indonesian entity has commenced and the Group continues to manage its 
on-going tax and legal obligations in Indonesia. The Group does not believe any potential exposure exists 
in relation to the Indonesian entity.

Andy’s Earthmovers (Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd 
On 31 March 2017, Emeco Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the shares in Andy’s Earthmovers (Asia 
Pacific)  Pty  Ltd  (Andy’s)  for  total  consideration  transferred  of  $8,788,666  arising  from  the  issue  of 
105,887,545 shares. The issue of Emeco shares was at the market price of $0.083. 

Goodwill of $4,947,000 represents the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair 
value of identified tangible and intangible assets. 

The trade and other receivables acquired in this transaction with a fair value of $15,439,000 had a gross 
contractual amount of $23,845,517. The best estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not 
expected to be collected is $8,407,000. 

Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd 
On 31 March 2017, Emeco Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the shares in Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd 
(Orionstone)  for  total  consideration  transferred  of  $17,793,598  arising  from  the  issue  of  214,380,704 
shares. The issue of Emeco shares was at the market price of $0.083. 

Goodwill of $72,933,000 represents the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair 
value of identified tangible and intangible assets. 

The trade and other receivables acquired in this transaction with a fair value of $10,017,000 had gross 
contractual amounts of $15,349,942. The best estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows 
not expected to be collected is $5,332,690. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  of  $77,880,000  was  recognised  on  the  acquisition  of  Andy’s  ($4,947,000)  and  Orionstone 
($72,933,000)  and  was  allocated  to  the  Australia  cash  generating  unit  (CGU).  Goodwill  arose  in  the 
acquisition of Andy’s and Orionstone due to an increase in the Company’s share price over the period that 
completion of transaction was delayed in addition to an increase in short term liabilities acquired from both 
businesses. The Company did not intend to provide consideration for the transaction in excess of the fair 
value. Impairment testing indicated the Australia CGU was impaired by $77,880,000. In accordance with 
AASB 136, the impairment was first allocated against the goodwill recognised in the Australia CGU. The 
resulting  impairment  resulted  in  the  goodwill  acquired  during  the  period  being  impaired  to  zero.  An 
impairment expense of $77,880,000 was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income during the period.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members
of Emeco Holdings Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Emeco Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries
(the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018,
the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended,
and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and

(ii)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor
independence  requirements  of  the Corporations  Act  2001 and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110 Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as
at the time of this auditor’s report.

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  the  current  period.  These  matters  were  addressed  in  the
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key Audit Matter

How the scope of our audit responded to the Key
Audit Matter

Acquisition Accounting

On 30 November 2017 Emeco Holdings
Limited acquired Force Equipment Pty Ltd as
disclosed in note 36.

Accounting for this transaction is complex,
requiring management to exercise
judgement to determine the fair value of
acquired assets and liabilities, including
separately identifiable intangible assets and
determining the allocation of purchase
consideration to goodwill.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

The Group has recognised $22.4 million of
deferred tax assets as at 30 June 2018 as
per note 12.

Australian Accounting Standards require
deferred tax assets to be recognised only to
the extent that it is probable that sufficient
future taxable profits will be generated in
order for the benefits of the deferred tax
assets to be realised.

We focussed on this matter due to the
significant judgement required to assess the
probability that future taxable profits will be
available against which unused tax losses
can be utilised profits.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

•

•

•

Reading the purchase agreements to understand
key terms and conditions and confirming our
understanding of the transaction with
management;
Assessing the reliability of third party valuations
including consideration of their competency and
experience which were utilised by management in
the determination of fair value of acquired assets;
and
Reviewing the opening balances of Force
Equipment’s working capital balances and the fair
value adjustments.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures in note 36 to the financial statements.

We assessed the Group’s ability to utilise the deferred
tax assets recognised as at 30 June 2018, based on
the extent to which they can be recovered by future
taxable profits, through:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Understanding the process that management
undertakes to develop the model for future
taxable profit;
Comparing profit forecasts to Board approved
business plans;
Assessing historical forecasting accuracy by
comparing actual performance to budgets;
Testing on a sample basis management’s model
for future taxable profit for mathematical
accuracy;
In conjunction with our tax experts evaluating
whether the unused tax losses are available to the
Group and whether the profit forecasts had been
appropriately adjusted for the differences between
accounting profits and taxable profits; and
recalculating deferred tax asset balances which
comprise a combination of timing differences
between tax and accounting values, and tax
losses.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures in note 12 to the financial statements.

Other Information

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s
report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions,
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

forgery, 

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the  audit 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 Group’s internal control.

•

•

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial

report  or,  if  such disclosures  are  inadequate,  to modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of  the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in  internal control
that we identify during our audit.

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical
requirements  regarding independence, and  to communicate  with them all relationships and  other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not  be communicated in our report because the  adverse  consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 20 to 32 of the Directors’ Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2018.

2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

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.
