Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for the 2019 financial year (FY19). 

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. 

Emeco’s lost time injury frequency rate is zero, however despite our continued focus on safety performance, 
the number of employees being injured during the past year rose, with the total recordable injury frequency 
rate increasing from 1.2 to 4.6. Given we have a ‘zero harm’ target, steps have been taken within the business 
to ensure our most important resources are provided a safe workplace at all times. 

For  more  information  on  our  sustainability  performance  and  policies,  please  refer  to  Emeco’s  FY19 
Sustainability Report available on our website. 

Growing earnings and cash flow 

Emeco continued to execute well upon its growth strategy. Our earnings, supported by a growing asset fleet, 
increased  equipment  utilisation  and  underpinned  by  tight  cost  control,  increased  significantly  in  FY19. 
Importantly, Emeco is well-placed to generate stronger earnings and cash flow in FY20 and is on track building 
a business of scale, quality and lowest cost to ensure we are stronger and more resilient.  

Reduction in outstanding debt and leverage 

During the year, Emeco bought back US$33.8 million of the outstanding notes and refinanced the $40.0 million 
revolving cash facility in September 2018 with a new $65.0 million facility expiring in 2021 (with a two-year 
option to extend). This not only  provided greater flexibility and liquidity it allowed us to enter into additional 
financial instruments to hedge our remaining USD notes exposure. We have now fully hedged our US senior 
notes at 72.9 cents.  

While investing in growth assets during the year, leverage decreased from 2.6x to below 2.0x and is targeted 
to decrease further in FY20 through growth in earnings generating strong operating cash flow. This will ensure 
the notes can be refinanced at the optimal time and on materially better terms. 

With a strengthening balance sheet, we look forward to re-establishing our dividend program in coming years.  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support of Emeco. I would 
also like to thank management and all our employees for their efforts in continuing to build the company to 
sustainability. This continued support is critical to Emeco’s short and long-term success.

Managing Director’s Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

During  FY19,  Emeco  continued  to  execute  on  our  strategy  to  become  the  highest  quality  and  lowest  cost 
provider of earthmoving equipment services in Australia.  

Safety and sustainability 

During the past year, our lost time injury frequency rate was zero, however our total recordable injury frequency 
rate increased from 1.2 to 4.6. As our people are our most important resource, we have significantly increased 
our safety resources in response and will continue to focus on our target of zero harm.  

Growing earnings, margins and returns 

I am pleased to report stronger profitability  in FY19,  with  operating NPAT for the  year up 213.9%  to $63.1 
million, representing shareholder value creation.  

Emeco generated operating EBIT of $125.4 million (up 50.7% on FY18) and EBITDA of $214.0 million (up 
39.9% on FY18). 

Operating EBITDA margin was up 590bps to 46.1%, driven by improvements in operating utilisation and rates, 
continued tight cost control, strong project management and a full year contribution from Force and Matilda.  

The  workshops  business  continued  to  see  significant  activity  growth  in  the  year  as  a  result  of  capacity 
expansion throughout Australia and increased retail work and work on Emeco Rental fleet. The workshops 
provide  an  important  strategic  element  to  the  Group  by  providing  low  capital  intensive  earnings  through 
increasing the services and value Emeco can provide to customers. The internal works ensures Emeco has 
capability and critical components available to keep the Rental fleet working and customers mining. 

Emeco’s Workshops and asset management capabilities also provides Emeco with a competitive advantage 
of  minimising  the  capital  intensity  of  Emeco’s  assets  throughout  its  life  cycle.  By  being  cost  effective  and 
extending asset lives, this allows Emeco to maximise returns as evidenced by a strong FY19 return on capital 
of ROC of 21.0%. 

Increasing free cash flow and reduction in leverage 

On the back of the strong profitability in the year, we generated operating free cash flow of $90.1m (pre-growth 
capex of $85.1 million)  which enabled debt repayment and investment in strategic growth assets for future 
earnings.  

Notwithstanding this investment, our strong earnings and cash flow reduced net debt / operating EBITDA to 
below 2.0x at the end of FY19 (from 2.6x in FY18) – a significant milestone in Emeco’s deleveraging strategy. 
We expect the pace of deleveraging to accelerate in FY20 with a greater earnings base combined with the 
strong operating free cash flow we are now generating.  

Emeco is committed to further reducing its gross debt, refinancing the notes on notably improved terms in the 
future and, subsequently, reaching its goal to be able to pay a dividend to shareholders. 

Outlook for FY20 

The  Company  expects  to  see  additional  growth  in  revenue  and  earnings  in  FY20,  albeit  with  a  greater 
weighting to earnings in 2H20.  

FY20 sees Emeco pursuing greater commodity diversification.  

Whilst we expect continued demand in metallurgical coal, particularly as customers remain disciplined with 
capital  expenditure  allocation,  we  are  also  focused  on  diversifying  Eastern  Region  exposure  to  gold  and 
copper.

Improving conditions in the Western Region have been observed in early FY20 with approximately 100 pieces 
of equipment already committed into new gold and iron ore projects. However, the full benefit of earnings is 
not expected to be realised until 2H20. We anticipate allocating some growth assets and assets from thermal 
projects to the Western Region to meet fleet requirements. 

With the fast growth experienced in the Force workshops in FY19, FY20 will build on this growth by increasing 
workshop  activity  by  building  a  larger  retail  business  for  low  capital-intensive  earnings  and  to  service  the 
Rental fleet.  

At a higher level, Emeco will investigate opportunities to further build on our business model and  widen our 
value proposition to achieve growth and sustainability through the cycle.  

We are excited for the year ahead.  

Finally, 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.

IMPROVED OPERATING EBITDA 

Operating  EBITDA  increased  to  $214.0  million  (up  $61.0  million  or  39.9%  on  FY18)  as  a  result  of  recent 
acquisitions, increased utilisation of the fleet by customers, rental rate increases and further cost management 
measures implemented over FY19.  

Group  operating  revenue  from  continuing  operations  increased  to  $464.5  million  in  FY19  (FY18:  $381.0 
million).  Rental  revenue  increased  to  $363.3  million  (FY18:  $324.0  million)  as  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of 
Matilda Equipment (Matilda) in July 2018, increased operating utilisation of the rental fleet and improvements 
in rental rates on new and renewed contracts. Maintenance services revenue from both rental maintenance 
services  and  workshop  increased  80.3%  to  $99.5  million  (FY18:  $55.2  million)  as  a  result  of  a  full  year 
contribution of the Workshop division and an additional three workshops opening midway through the year. 

Operating EBITDA margins increased to 46.1% (FY18: 40.2%) as a result of disciplined cost management 
and increased rental rates achieved across all regions, in addition to the benefit of operational efficiencies 
achieved through business improvement initiatives. The increase in Operating EBITDA margin is especially 
strong  given  the  lower  margin  generated  by  the  Force  workshops.  Operating  EBIT  recovery  improved 
operating return on capital (ROC) to 21.0% in FY19 (FY18: 19.6%).

Repairs  and  maintenance  expense  decreased  to  $89.1  million  (FY18:  $104.9  million)  driven  by  increased 
focus on cost management throughout the business, improved contractual responsibilities and cost synergies 
obtained  through  the  internal  workshop  capability.  FY18  expenditure  also  included  a  large  component  of 
catch-up  maintenance  work  on  the  acquired  Andy’s  and  Orionstone  fleets  which  are  now  complete.  This 
contributed to the decrease in repairs and maintenance expense in FY19 as a percentage of rental revenue 
from 32.4% in FY18 to 24.5%.  

With the acquisition of Matilda and a full year contribution of Force, employee expenses increased 27.0% in 
FY19 to $38.1 million (FY18: $30.0 million). Total headcount has increased from  approximately 500 to 543 
over FY19. 

Net other expenses were flat at $30.8 million (FY18: $31.0 million). 

Depreciation expense increased to $87.4 million in FY19 (FY18: $68.9 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 and capital WIP and inventory increased to $574.2 million in 
FY19  primarily  due  to  the  acquisition  of  Matilda  adding  an  additional  $79.0  million  of  fleet,  and  a  further 
investment of $85.1 million to acquire a package of 35 pieces of growth assets.  

A further $88.5 million, net of disposals of $23.6 million, was incurred in sustaining capex.  

An investment of $7.3 million was made during the period in component inventory to ensure security of supply 
of critical components and support Rental fleet machine availability and revenue. 

We continually review our rental fleet mix to ensure it meets long term rental demand and to maximise returns 
on investment. Assets which are surplus to the fleet or are approaching the end of its useful life are transferred 
to non-current assets held for sale and are actively marketed through Emeco’s global network of brokers.

2. Operating cash flow excludes any non-recurring items (FY19: Redundancy and restructure expense $4.4 million, Acquisition

expense refund $0.2 million (FY18: Redundancy and restructure expense $4.0 million))

Operating EBITDA increased from $153.0 million in FY18 to $214.0 million in FY19. However, the investment 
in  the  growth  assets  in  FY19  resulted  in  a  net  operating  cash  flow  decrease  to  $5.0  million  (FY18:  $77.7 
million). Excluding the investment in growth assets, operating free cash flow was $90.1 million.  

Working capital management was again an ongoing focus with $7.6 million relating to the package of growth 
assets being deferred until FY20, so will unwind in FY20. 

Net sustaining capital expenditure increased from $57.6 million in FY18 to $88.5 million in FY19 in line with a 
larger fleet. FY18 capital expenditure also included a large portion of catch-up major component expenditure 
on the acquired Andy’s and Orionstone fleets which are now complete. 

Finance  costs  were  higher  for  the  period  due  to  the  change  the  timing  of  payments  with  the  inception  of 
additional hedging implemented during the period.

Total outstanding debt reduced by $16.6 million due to the repurchase of US$33.8 million of the outstanding 
notes, offset by an increase in finance lease liabilities ($21.9 million) as part of the growth asset acquisition 
and impacts of foreign currency translation until the debt was fully hedged. As a result of the growth assets 
being  fully  cash/debt  funded,  adjusted  net  debt  increased  to  $427.4  million  at  30  June  2019  from  $396.3 
million at 30 June 2018. 

The 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. At 30 June 2019, US$322.1 million of the 
notes were outstanding (FY18: US$355.9 million). 

Additional hedging was entered into during the period to hedge the remaining unhedged  US$220.1 million 
portion of the outstanding notes. The effective hedge rate of the outstanding notes is AUD:USD 0.7293. Due 
to the movements in the Australian dollar between the inception of the hedge on 31 March 2017 and 30 June 
2019  as  well  as  movements  in  USD  and  AUD  interest  rates,  a  net  hedge  asset  of  $7.0  million  has  been 
recognised at June 2019.  The hedges entered into have  quarterly AUD interest obligations as opposed to 
larger semi-annual obligations previously experienced on the unhedged debt.    

The A$40.0 million revolving credit facility (RCF), consisting of an A$35.0 million cash advance facility and an 
A$5.0 million bank guarantee facility maturing in March 2020, was refinanced in September 2018 and was 
replaced with an A$65.0 million facility maturing in September 2021 (with a two-year option to extend). A$1.7 
million of the facility was utilised for bank guarantees at 30 June 2019. 

Emeco’s cash balance decreased to $36.2 million at 30 June 2019, largely due to cash on hand at 30 June 
2018  being  used  to fund  the  acquisition  of Matilda, in addition to the  investment  in the growth  assets and 
repurchasing notes. Refer to note 23 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information on 
Emeco’s financing facilities. 

Emeco’s leverage ratio has improved from 2.6x at 30 June 2018 to  2.0x at 30 June 2019. The Company 
expects leverage to continue to decrease in FY20 as a result of increased earnings and cash flows. 

No dividends were declared or paid during FY19.

Segment Business Overview 

Main markets 
The Company’s business operations comprised of two segments: Rental and Workshops.  

Rental 
Revenue  in  the  Rental  segment  increased  by  13.1%  to  $401.7  million  with  operating  EBITDA  margins 
increasing from 47.3% in FY18 to 50.8% in FY19.  

Group operating utilisation1 increased over FY19 averaging 64%, up from 58% in FY18. Operating utilisation 
is a measure of how hard the equipment is working. Gross utilisation averaged 90% in FY19 (FY18: 90%). 
Management is focused on increasing the operating utilisation of machines currently on rent and looking for 
opportunities to dispose of underutilised fleet to generate greater returns. 

Workshops 
The Workshops segment contributed a full year of earnings in FY19 after completion of the Force acquisition 
in November 2017. An additional three workshops were also added to the segment during FY19 (taking the 
total number of workshops to seven). 

Total Workshops activity (as measured by retail and internal revenue pre-intercompany eliminations) increased 
from $41.8 million in FY182 to $114.7 million in FY19. The internal portion of Workshops activity increased in 
FY19 to 45% (FY18: 40%) 

The Operating EBIT contribution from the retail earnings increased 78% to $4.7 million (FY18: $2.7 million).  
All overheads, including the additional overheads associated with the three new workshops, are allocated to 
the  retail  earnings.  Given  the  greater  percentage  of  internal  works  being  completed  by  the  Workshops, 
Operating EBIT margin for the period decreased to 7.5% (FY18: 8.9%).

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

Non-audit services 

During  the  year,  Deloitte  Touche  Tohmatsu,  the  Group’s  auditor,  has  performed  certain  other  services  in 
addition  to  their  statutory  duties.  This  is  for  provision  of  audit  and  tax  services  as  well  as  other  specific 
assurance and due diligence services around business acquisitions.  No other advisory or consulting services 
were provided by Deloitte during the year. 

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 39 and forms part of the directors’ report. 

Rounding off 

The amounts contained  in  the financial report have been rounded to the  nearest $1,000 (unless otherwise 
stated)  under  the  option  available  to  the  Company  as  referred  to  in  ASIC  Corporations  (Rounding  in 
Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016. The Company is an entity to which 
the class order applies.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

Letter from the chair of the remuneration and nomination committee 

Dear Shareholders, 

On  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Emeco  Holdings  Limited  (Emeco)  I  am  pleased  to  present  the 
Company’s 2019 Remuneration Report. 

FY19 performance and remuneration 

As Emeco continues on its journey of becoming the highest quality and lowest cost provider of earthmoving 
equipment services, the Board has sought to ensure that the remuneration strategy for the executive team and 
management are progressive and consistent with company objectives and shareholder values. 

In  determining  the  remuneration  for  our  executives,  the  Board  considers  their  roles,  responsibilities  and 
performance, together with the operational and financial performance of the Company.  

In FY19, key performance indicators under the FY19 Emeco Hybrid Incentive Plan (EHIP) were partially met 
reflecting growth in the Company’s earnings having first achieved the deleveraging goal targeted at  further 
strengthening the Company’s balance sheet. While safety goals were not met, the Company had a lost time 
injury frequency rate of zero. 

A more detailed explanation of the FY19 remuneration outcomes for all executives is included in section 5 of 
this report.  

Existing incentive plans 

Management incentive plan 

In  March  2017,  the  Company  executed  the  transformative  three-way  merger  and  recapitalisation 
(Transaction). The Transaction was conditional upon the establishment of the management incentive plan 
(MIP) with 10% of the post-Transaction issued capital being allocated to Mr Testrow and management.  This 
was a requirement of Emeco, Andy’s Earthmovers (Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd (Andy’s) and Orionstone Holdings 
Pty Limited (Orionstone) creditors and shareholders (all of who ultimately became Emeco shareholders as a 
result of the Transaction) as they required management to be incentivised to remain employed with the Group 
in the long term to ensure the successful integration of merged entities and to drive shareholder value. The 
MIP aligned management with shareholder interests and, since the allocation of the initial MIP, Emeco’s share 
price has increased significantly.  

At  the  2018  AGM,  shareholders  approved  the  last  allocation  proposed  under  the  MIP  to  Mr  Testrow.    As 
announced by the Company at the time, the allocation, which vests across 5 years, was agreed in conjunction 
with an extension of Mr Testrow’s contract beyond 31 March 2020 and to increase long term alignment with 
the business and shareholder interests.  Extending Ian’s contract past 31 March 2020 was key, not only for 
the business, but in order to extend the vesting date for future equity settled incentive plans.   

Ian  has  led  Emeco  through  a  period  of  extremely  challenging  market  conditions  and  his  tireless  work  and 
determination has resulted in a strengthened Emeco and return to profitability.  On behalf of the Board, thank 
you to all shareholders that supported this allocation to Ian.

Directors’ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

Emeco hybrid incentive plan  

In  mid-2017,  we  introduced  the  Emeco  Hybrid  Incentive  Plan  (EHIP).    The  EHIP  combined  short-term 
incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI) into a single incentive plan with the intention to build long-term 
shareholder  alignment  through  meaningful  share  ownership  subject  to  achievement  of  KPIs  and  continued 
employment with the Group.  Given the transformation and dynamic nature of the Company and the cyclical 
nature of the market, setting meaningful long term KPIs had become extremely challenging. As a result, the 
EHIP KPIs focussed on shorter term metrics which the Board believed at that point in the Company’s rebuilding 
program, drove and set up the platform for the Company’s long term sustainability and shareholder wealth.  

While most stakeholders were supportive of the MIP and EHIP, there were some concerns voiced in respect 
of certain  elements of the  plans.  In response,  the Company  undertook a review of executive remuneration 
arrangements.   

Changes to the remuneration structure for FY20  

The Board recognises that, with the growth and maturity of the Company, it is now appropriate to evolve the 
Company’s incentive plans.  As such, in FY20 the Company will separate the STI and LTI plans.  The main 
consideration  for  the  Board  in  adopting  this  more  traditional  structure  is  to  ensure  the  LTI  performance 
measures  remain  relevant  throughout  the  medium  to  long  term  so  they  continue  to  reflect  the  Company’s 
circumstances and incentivise management whilst aligning with shareholder interests. 

As  Emeco  is  a  dynamic  company  operating  in  a  cyclical  market,  the  FY20  LTI  plan  will  have  performance 
measures which will be set annually but achievement will be assessed over a three-year period.  The Board 
believes that this will give the Company the flexibility necessary to ensure that goals for the upcoming year 
remain aligned with the interests and expectations of shareholders and other stakeholders.  

Details of the Board’s understanding of shareholder issues and its responses in relation to the incentive plans 
and other remuneration arrangements are provided in section 2 of this Remuneration Report. 

Looking ahead 

The  Company  is  continuing  to  build  a  sustainable  platform  through  the  cycle  and  with  the  remuneration 
changes  to  be  implemented,  we  believe  this  framework  will  appropriately  support  Emeco  to  deliver  on  the 
outcomes desired by its shareholders.  

The Board looks forward to providing further details of the remuneration changes implemented in FY20 as we 
continue to engage with stakeholders.  We thank you for your ongoing support of Emeco.

Response to “first-strike” 

At  the  2018  Annual  General  Meeting  (2018  AGM)  held  on  15  November  2018,  approximately  74%  of 
shareholder votes voted in favour of the adoption of the 2018 Remuneration Report.  As more than 25% of 
shareholders voted against the adoption, the Company incurred a ‘first strike’ pursuant to section 250R of the 
Act.  

Subsequent to the 2018 AGM, the Board has considered the concerns raised, predominantly by proxy advisor 
groups, in relation to the Remuneration Report and other related resolutions put to the 2018 AGM and although 
stakeholder engagement is ongoing, has taken the below action to date: 

 
 

consultation with a number of the Company’s major shareholders; 
the  Chair  of  the  Board  and  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  has  met  with  representatives  of 
various proxy advisors and industry shareholder groups to understand their views and further explain the 
Company position on these matters;   

  procurement  of  independent  external  advice  from The  Reward  Practice  Pty  Ltd  on  some  of  the  issues 

raised and the likely views of key stakeholders and proxy advisor groups in particular; and 
consideration of all of the above in determining changes for FY20.  

 

The table below provides further information on key remuneration matters raised by proxy advisor groups and 
the Company’s response:  

Issue 

Company’s response  

Emeco Hybrid Incentive Plan (EHIP) 
►  Too short-term oriented and not 

performance linked over medium to 
long term. 

►  The EHIP was designed to build meaningful executive 

► 

share ownership which ensures executives are 
incentivised to drive long term shareholder value which 
impacts the value of the award upon vesting.   
In recent years, establishing long term KPIs for the 
Company and management has been exceptionally 
challenging given the transformation of the Company and 
the cyclical nature of the market.  The EHIP helped to 
address these challenges by measuring performance on 
shorter term metrics which impact the Company’s long 
term sustainability and shareholder wealth.   

►  The Board acknowledges and respects stakeholder 

views and, as a result, in FY20 the Company will offer 
separate STI and LTI incentive plans with the LTI 
performance measures to be assessed over a three year 
period.

Issue 

Company’s response 

Management Incentive Plan (MIP) 
► Quantum is too high, and vesting is
based on service condition only.

MD fixed remuneration quantum 
► Relatively high and historical
increases seen as excessive.

Dilution impact of employee share 
plans 
► Quantum of recent equity awards

viewed as excessive and dilutionary.

► Implementation of the MIP was driven by the Emeco,

Andy’s and Orionstone shareholders and creditors who
wanted to ensure management, particularly the Emeco
CEO, was incentivised to remain with the Group to
ensure the successful integration of the merged entities
and drive shareholder value.

► As Emeco’s CEO sacrificed a portion of his 2017 MIP
allocation (due to vest in March 2020) to ensure the
recapitalisation and mergers proceeded, the 2018 MIP
allocation was aimed at increasing CEO long term
alignment with the business and shareholder interests.
► The MIP has proven an effective retention incentive for
management in challenging periods including periods of
transformation, integration and significant growth.
However, in the Company’s current circumstances, and
with low management turnover, the Board considers a
performance based plan will help to further drive
performance and wealth creation for shareholders whilst
continuing to effectively incentivise proven performers.

► The Company does not intend to issue any further

awards under the MIP although existing awards will be
unaffected.

► In 2015, Mr Testrow was appointed as CEO with a TFR

29% lower than that of his predecessor.  Since
Mr Testrow’s appointment, the Company has undergone
a transformation and continued growth.  This is
evidenced by: (i) the share price increasing 37% on
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis; (ii) 49%
increase in EBITDA on a CAGR basis; and (iii) an
absolute increase of 31% in return on capital.

► As a result, CEO fixed remuneration has been increased

over time to align with market comparable sector peers
and ensure appropriate reward retains the level of skills,
experience required for Emeco.

► In line with contemporary practices of large listed

companies, the Board recognises some adaptation is
required to update Emeco’s approach when setting and
reviewing executive remuneration.

► Emeco will continue to monitor employee share

ownership at an accepted level and where appropriate,
will seek to limit dilution impact through on-market share
purchases.

Remuneration governance

Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  reviews  and  makes  recommendations  to  the  Board  on 
remuneration  packages  and  policies  applicable  to  the  Managing  Director,  executives  and  Directors 
themselves.  The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee’s  role  also  includes  responsibility  for  general 
remuneration strategy, superannuation and other benefits, and employee share plans. 

The  members  of  the  remuneration  and  nomination  committee  in  FY19  were  Mr  Peter  Richards  (Chair), 
Mr Keith Skinner and Mr Darren Yeates. 

Further information on the Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s role and responsibilities can be found 
at https://www.emecogroup.com/investors-overview/corporate-governance.    

Use of remuneration consultants 

To  ensure  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  is  fully  informed  when  making  remuneration 
decisions, it seeks external remuneration advice from time to time.  Remuneration consultants are engaged 
by,  and  report  directly  to,  the  Committee.  In  selecting  remuneration  consultants,  the  Committee  considers 
potential conflicts of interest and requires independence from the Company’s key management personnel and 
other executives as part of their terms of engagement. 

During the financial year, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee engaged  The Reward Practice Pty 
Ltd as remuneration consultants to provide remuneration services in respect to external market analysis and 
general insights for executive remuneration structures. During the period no remuneration recommendations, 
as defined by the Act, were provided by The Reward Practice Pty Ltd. 

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.

Executive remuneration arrangements 

4.A  Remuneration principles and strategy 

Emeco’s executive remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain high performing individuals 
and align the interests of executives and shareholders. 

The following diagram illustrates how the Company’s remuneration strategy aligns with the strategic direction 
and links remuneration outcomes to performance. 

Differentiating Emeco to create a competitive advantage by being the highest quality and lowest cost provider of 
earthmoving equipment services to drive value through the cycle 

Business objective 

Remuneration strategy linkages to business objective 

Remunerate fairly and appropriately 

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

Benchmark remuneration structures 
to ensure alignment with industry 
trends. 

Align executive interests with those 
of shareholders  

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

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

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

Attract, retain and develop proven 
performers  

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

fulfilling their respective roles with the 
Group;  

 

achieving the Group’s strategic 
objectives; and 

  maximising Group earnings and returns 

to shareholders.

4.B 

Approach to setting remuneration and details of incentive plans  

In  FY19,  the  executive  remuneration  framework  consisted  of  fixed  remuneration  and  short  and  long  term 
incentives as outlined below. 

Overall remuneration level and mix 

How is overall 
remuneration 
and mix 
determined? 

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix (proportion of fixed remuneration, 
short term incentives and long-term incentives) of remuneration appropriate to their position, 
responsibilities and performance within the Company and that which is aligned with targeted 
market comparators.  

In FY19 remuneration benchmarking was undertaken with reference to industry peers (mining and 
mining services companies) and market capitalisation. 

The chart below summarises the MD’s and other executives’ target remuneration mix for fixed 
remuneration, short term incentives and long-term incentives.  The target mix is considered 
appropriate for Emeco based on the Company’s current phase of operations.

Fixed remuneration 

How is fixed 
remuneration 
reviewed and 
approved? 

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually from benchmarked remuneration data.  Any fixed 
remuneration changes for executives take into account changes in responsibilities and 
performance within the Company and are aligned with targeted market comparators.  Changes to 
an executive’s fixed remuneration is subject to approval from the Board considering 
recommendations from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Variable remuneration  

What is the 
Emeco Hybrid 
Incentive 
Plan?  

In FY18, a variable remuneration review was undertaken.  After considering the Group’s 
transformative transactions in FY17 and key items of focus for the FY18 financial year, Emeco’s 
hybrid incentive plan (EHIP) was developed.   

Given the 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. Retaining senior management is particularly important to the Company given the 
Group’s significant growth and focus on deleveraging in order to drive the success of the Company 
and position the Group well for refinancing the Group’s notes due in 2022. 

The EHIP includes both short term, cash incentive and long term, equity settled incentive 
elements, award of which is determined by reference to the Company’s performance. 

What are the 
performance 
criteria and 
how do they 
align with 
business 
performance? 

The key performance indicators (KPIs) for the EHIP are based on a balance of both financial and 
non-financial measures which are aligned with the long term performance and sustainability of the 
Company. In FY19, a safety KPI was once again included given the importance of safety to the 
Group’s workforce, customers and stakeholders. A financial KPI (EBITDA) was included to further 
focus executive efforts on strengthening the Group’s financial position and the long term 
sustainability and success of the Group. Achievement of the financial KPI was also subject to a 
specified leverage ratio.  

See table 11 for more information on the KPIs. 

How much 
can 
executives 
earn? 

The below table sets out the maximum incentive opportunity for each executive under the FY19 
EHIP attributable to: 
• 
• 

short term, cash incentive as a percentage of total fixed remuneration (TFR); and 
longer term, equity settled incentive as a percentage of TFR if the executives remain 
employed by the Group until the vesting date if maximum performance is achieved.

When is 
performance 
measured? 

How are 
awards 
determined? 

Variable incentive awards are measured in August, once the Company’s annual financial 
performance is determined. 

Awards are determined by the Board, on recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee, after consideration of Company performance against the KPIs.

Variable remuneration 

How is it 
paid? 

An executive’s maximum achievable cash and equity award is set as a percentage of TFR (see table 
10 above for details pertaining to the FY19 EHIP).   

The  cash  component  of  the  EHIP  is  determined,  and  paid,  after  the  Company’s  financial  year 
performance  is  assessed  against  the  KPIs.    The  equity  settled  component  of  the  EHIP  is  also 
determined  by  reference  to  the  KPIs  but  is  subject  to  an  additional  service  condition  in  order  to 
incentivise continued employment with the Group (see table 15).  The ultimate value of the equity 
settled component of the EHIP is determined by the share price at the end of the vesting period   

EHIP equity settled awards are rights (Rights) to fully paid ordinary Emeco shares (Shares).  
Rights awarded under the EHIP may vest at the end of the vesting period, subject to the executive 
remaining employed by the Group (see table 15).  Rights that do not vest will lapse.   

The award of Rights under the FY19 EHIP is at no cost and is calculated by reference to the July 
2018 VWAP of Emeco shares. 

The  cash  component  of  the  EHIP  is  only  paid  to  executives  employed  by  the  Group  after 
performance is assessed against the KPIs. 

Rights awarded under the EHIP  may vest on an accelerated basis in the event of  an executive’s 
death, total and permanent disability, retrenchment or retirement.  If an executive leaves the Group 
for any other reason, the Rights will lapse (unless otherwise agreed by the Board).   

In the event of absolute change in control (i.e., the acquisition by a third party and its associates 
>50% of Emeco shares), Rights awarded under the EHIP will vest on the change date.   

Dividends are not payable on unvested Rights awarded under the EHIP.

Legacy retention plan - Management Incentive Plan (MIP) 

In FY17 the MIP was introduced.  Implementation of the MIP was driven by the Emeco, Andy’s and Orionstone 
shareholders and creditors who required executives, particularly the Emeco CEO, to be incentivised to remain 
with  the  Group  after  the  Transaction  to  ensure  the  successful  integration  of  the  companies  and  drive 
shareholder value.   

At the extraordinary general meeting on 13 March 2017, shareholders approved the making of grants under 
the  MIP  over  a  three-year  period.    After  completion  of  the  Transaction,  selected  participants  were  offered 
Rights under the MIP. Another one off grant under the MIP was made in FY19 in recognition of participants’ 
ability to drive the long term objectives of the Emeco Group.   

MIP awards to executives are delivered in the form of Rights to ordinary Shares at no cost. The Rights have 
been granted in various tranches which may vest over period ranging up to five years, subject to the executive 
remaining employed by the Group on the vesting date.  Rights that do not vest will lapse.  

In the event of death, total and permanent disability, retrenchment or retirement resulting in a participant in the 
MIP ceasing employment prior to the award vesting, Rights may vest on an accelerated basis.  If a participant 
leaves the Group for any other reason, the Rights will lapse (unless otherwise agreed by the Board). In the 
event of absolute change in control (i.e., the acquisition by a third party and its associates >50% of Emeco 
shares), Rights awarded under the MIP will vest on the change date. 

Table 15 in section 9 provides details of Rights awarded and vested during the year and Table 16 in section 9 
provides details of the value of Rights awarded, exercised and lapsed during the year. 

Following a review of remuneration arrangements, the Company does not intend to issue any further awards 
under the MIP although existing awards will be unaffected.

5.  Relationship between executive remuneration and company performance   

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  a  downturn  to  recover  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 MIP and 
the initial MIP awards to executives.  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. 

The acquisition of Force Equipment in November 2017 resulted in further consolidation of the equipment rental 
market and an ability to generate less capital intensive earnings and savings on capital expenditure and R&M 
through Force’s workshops and component rebuild capability.  The acquisition of Matilda Equipment in July 
2018  further  increased  the  Group’s  earnings  and  fleet  size.  Both  transactions  have  strengthened  Emeco’s 
balance sheet. 

The Company believes retaining executives over the period and throughout the more recent Matilda Equipment 
and Force  Equipment  integrations has been integral  to  Emeco’s continued  growth  and plays a  vital part in 
Emeco  achieving  its  objective  of  deleveraging  to  strengthen  its  balance  sheet  and  ensuring  sustainability 
through  the  cycles.  As  such,  retaining  and  rewarding  senior  management  is  key  in  driving  Company 
performance,  deleveraging  and  achievement  of  the  Group’s  other  business  and  strategic  objectives  and 
therefore value creation for shareholders.  To this end, a further grant of awards was made under the MIP in 
FY19, which was approved by shareholders at the 2018 AGM.  See table 15 for more information.

6.    Executive remuneration outcomes for FY19 

Fixed remuneration outcomes  

Based  on  the  methodology  outlined  in  Section  4B  of  the  Remuneration  Report,  an  annual  review  of  fixed 
remuneration was undertaken for each executive. 

As a result  of the annual review,  in FY19 there  was a 15%  increase to  fixed remuneration  for Mr  Testrow, 
39.6% increase  to  fixed remuneration for  Ms  Pham and  22.9%  increase to  fixed remuneration for  Ms Lea.  
These  increases  recognised  expanded  responsibilities  based  on  recent  transactions,  continued  strong 
performance in their respective roles and alignment to market.  Notably, the fixed remuneration of Ms Pham 
and Ms Lea was realigned at the 50th percentile of the market. 

Incentive outcomes (EHIP)  

In FY19, the executives had identical KPIs to focus executive efforts on the overall performance and strategic 
objectives of the Group in addition to promoting collaboration and support between the executives. 

Table 11 below sets out the KPIs for the FY19 EHIP and the respective weightings attributable. In the Board’s 
view, these KPIs align the reward of executives with the interests of shareholders. The FY19 EHIP provided 
for pro-rata entitlements where performance in respect of the KPIs was between the thresholds and targets.

Legacy incentive plan outcomes (FY16 RI) 

In  FY16  the  Company  offered  executives  retention  incentives.  The  award  of  these  incentives  were  not 
conditional on Company performance.  These incentives were scheduled  to vest at the end of a three-year 
period (performance period), subject to the executive remaining employed by the Group.  These incentives 
were designed to encourage senior management to remain with the Group. 

The Rights previously issued to Mr Testrow and Ms Pham under the FY16 retention incentive plan vested in 
full on 17 September 2018.  Further details of vested awards for executives during the FY19, are set out in 
Table 15.

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 against fees paid to 
NEDs of comparable companies with similar market capitalisation  and industry of the Company. The Board 
may consider advice from external consultants when undertaking the annual review process.  

A review was undertaken in FY19 (no review in FY18) resulting in some increases to fees as outlined below 
to align to market, taking effect on 20 August 2018. 

The ASX listing rules specify that the NED fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. 
The Company’s constitution has provided for an aggregate fee pool of $1,200,000 per year since its listing on 
the ASX. 

The Board will not seek any increase for the NED pool at the 2019 AGM. 

Structure 

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.  Due  to  the  small  number  of  Australian  based  non-executive 
directors  in  FY19,  all  Australian  non-executive  directors  sit  on  more  than  one  committee.    However,  non-
executive directors only get paid for sitting on one committee. 

The table below summarises the NED fee policy for FY19 (inclusive of superannuation): 

Board fees 

Chairman 

Directors 

Committee fees 

Committee Chair 

$158,238   (FY18 $158,238) 

$100,000     (FY18 $90,422) 

$13,333 

(FY18 $9,042) 

Committee Member 

$10,000 

(FY18 $6,782) 

NEDs do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs.

Additional disclosures relating to share-based payments 

Table 15:  Summary of executive KMP allocated, vested or lapsed equity 

Grants and vesting of equity settled awards made to executives in connection with the FY19 EHIP, and the 
Company’s long term incentive plans in FY16, FY17, FY18 and FY19 are set out in the following table: 

[A]  Mr Ian Testrow’s grant of awards under the: (i) FY16 long term incentive plan was approved by shareholders on 14 December 2016; 
(ii) FY17 MIP was approved by shareholders on 13 March 2017, subject to completion of the Transaction; (iii) FY18 EHIP and FY19 
MIP were approved by shareholders on 15 November 2018; and (iv) FY19 EHIP is subject to shareholder approval at the 2019 annual 
general meeting. 

[B]  Awards granted to Ms Pham and Ms Lea under the MIP on 10 August 2018 are subject to continued employment to the vesting date.  
[1]  A ‘performance share’ is a right to one fully paid ordinary Emeco share currently 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 to satisfaction of vesting 
conditions.    

[2]  For  grants  made  prior  to  the  Share  Consolidation  being  implemented,  both  pre-share  consolidation  and  post-share  consolidation 

figures are provided. 

[3]  Vesting of Rights 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 table 11 for details of the KPIs applicable to awards under 
the  FY19  EHIP.    Full  details  of  the  vesting  conditions  for  all  prior  year  equity  settled  grants  to  executives  are  included  in  the 
remuneration report for the relevant year. 

[4]  Where exact vesting dates are not noted, the vesting date will follow release of the Company’s full year results.  
[5]  The fair value of the awards granted in FY16 was determined using a Monte Carlo share price simulation model.  The fair value of 
awards  granted  under the  MIP in  FY17  and FY19  and  FY18  and FY19 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 13) is the portion of the fair value of the securities 
recognised in FY19.  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. 

[6]  Note that the fair value per share/right at grant date is based on pre-Share Consolidation shares for all grant dates occurring prior to 

27 November 2018.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

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 2019 comprises 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 2018. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  board  of  directors  on  20 
August 2019. 

(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(q)), 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  $165,649,000  (2018:  $67,932,000)  of  previously  unrecognised  Australian  tax 
losses as a deferred tax asset of $49,695,000 (2018: $20,380,000) onto the balance sheet at this 
time. Of this $49,695,000 of recognised losses, $23,900,000 relates to probable future taxable profits 
with the remaining $25,795,000 balance relating to the offset of temporary differences. Australian 
tax losses of $95,263,000 (2018: $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).  
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 14. 

Business combinations 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for business combinations (refer note 3(t)), 
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 35 for further information on business combinations and note 5(h) for details 
on determination of fair value. 

Provision for doubtful debts 
The Company uses significant judgment and assumptions in the expected credit loss model used to 
measure the fair value of financial assets not classified as fair value through profit or loss. Refer to 
note 3 (h)(i) for further detail on how the Company determines expected credit losses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

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  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
AASB 9 Financial Instruments sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets,
financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces AASB
139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The adoption of AASB 9 has not had a
significant  effect  on  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  related  to  recognition  and  measurement  of
financial assets and financial liabilities, or in relation to hedge accounting.

(i) Classification

From 1 July 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities in the following measurement
categories:
• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income,

or through profit or loss), and

• Those to be measured at amortised cost.

The  classification  depends  on  the  Group’s  business  model  for  managing  financial  assets  and 
liabilities,  and  the  contractual  terms  of  the  cash  flows.  For  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair 
value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For 
investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is 
held. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether 
the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity 
investment  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income.  The  Group  reclassifies  debt 
investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. 

(ii) Measurement

At  initial  recognition,  the  Group  measures  a  financial  asset  at  its  fair  value  plus,  in  the  case  of  a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable
to  the  acquisition  of  the  financial  asset.  Transaction  costs  of  financial  assets  carried  at  fair  value
through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Measurement of cash and cash equivalents and
trade and other receivables remains at amortised cost consistent with the comparative period.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities
All  loans  and  borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  being  the  amount  received  less
attributable  transaction  costs.  After  initial  recognition,  interest  bearing  liabilities  are  stated  at
amortised  cost  with  any  difference  between  cost  and  redemption  value  being  recognised  in  the
statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

Trade and other payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid for goods or services received. Trade payables are
settled on terms aligned with the normal commercial terms in operations.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c)   Financial instruments (continued) 
(ii)  Measurement (continued) 

Equity instruments  
The  Group  subsequently  measures  all  equity  investments  at  fair  value.  Where  the  Group’s 
management  has  elected  to  present  fair  value  gains  and  losses  on  equity  investments  in  other 
comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit 
or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to 
be  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  other  income  when  the  Group’s  right  to  receive  payments  is 
established. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured 
at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Changes in the fair value of 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other expenses in the statement 
of profit or loss as applicable. 

Derivative financial instruments 

Cash flow hedge  
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as 
cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative 
change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. 
The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within 
other expenses.  

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or 
loss, as follows: 

•  The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate 

borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within ‘finance cost’. 

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the 
criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in 
equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition 
of a non-financial asset such as inventory. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to 
occur, the cumulative gain  or loss and deferred costs of hedging that  were reported in  equity  are 
immediately reclassified to profit or loss. Hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in profit or loss within 
other expenses.  

Accounting policies for remaining hedges and derivatives are consistent with the comparative period. 

(iii)  Impairment 

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt 
instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on 
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, contract  debtors 
and  lease  receivables,  the  Group  applies  the  simplified  approach  permitted  by  AASB  9,  which 
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) 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)
(i)

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

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




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

 when the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, 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.

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

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

(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


 Customer contracts

0 – 3 years 
0 – 2 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.

Workshop  work  in  progress  represents  jobs  started  but  not  completed  by  period  end.  Upon
completion the job is invoiced to the customer.

(h)
(i)

Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
AASB 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in AASB 139 with an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model.
This applies to trade receivables measured at amortised cost.  The Group has assessed the initial
impact of the expected credit loss model to result in a $400,000 increase in the provision for doubtful
debts  on  adoption  of  AASB  9.  The  one-off  increase  under  the  modified  retrospective  transition
approach results in an adjustment to retained earnings and comparatives are therefore not restated.

The expected credit loss model is used to measure the fair value of financial assets not classified
as  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  To  assist  in  this  process,  the  Group  segregates  trade
receivables into various customer segments where they may have similar loss patterns.

The loss allowance is calculated by taking the following factors into consideration:

Grouping of receivables
The  Group  has  classified  its  receivables  into  two  main  segments  of  Australian  Rental  and 
Workshops in line with the main segments and work undertaken. The debtors in each segment is 
then further classified as follows: 


Australian Rental  – blue chip customers, insured customers, uninsured customers and cash
sale customers.

 Workshop  –  blue  chip  customers,  insured  customers,  uninsured  customers,  cash  sales  and

small retail customers.

These categories are defined as: 


Blue  chip  customers  –  those  that  are  typically  defined  as  having  a  market  capitalisation  of 
greater than $750m. The classification of Blue Chip is determined under the credit risk of the 
Groups Insurance Policy.
Insured  customers  –  those  that  are  trading  within  terms  with  their  trade  receivable  exposure 
under the insured limit.



 Cash sales – customers that pay cash and are not on terms.
 Uninsured customers – are all other customers that are not recognised in the above category. 

Historical loss rates and forward looking information 
The  Group  uses  a  combination  of  historical  losses  recognised  for  receivables  in  the  above 
categories  and  takes  a  view  on  the  future  economic  conditions  that  are  representative  of  those 
expected to exist.  

For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or 
prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost.

Impairment (continued)
Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
Bad debt policy
A provision for a doubtful debt is made when the Group receives notification a customer is placed
into administration or liquidation, or information becomes available to the Group indicating collection
may be in doubt. The realisation of a bad debt subsequently comes into effect when all avenues of
collection  have  been  exhausted  without  success,  and  a  commercial  decision  is  made  that  it  is
uneconomical to pursue debt recovery.

Definition of default
The  Group  considers  the  following  as  constituting  an  event  of  default  for  internal  credit  risk
management purposes as historical experience indicates that financial assets that meet either of the
following criteria are generally not recoverable:
•
•

when the customer breaches their agreed credit limit; or
information  obtained  from  external  sources  indicates  that  the  debtor  is  unlikely  to  pay  its
creditors, including the Group, in full.

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial 
asset is more than 120 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information 
to demonstrate that alternative default criterion is more appropriate. 

(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.

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.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(i)

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

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated to the assets
and liabilities on a pro rata  basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets,
deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the
Group’s  other  accounting  policies.  Impairment  losses  on  initial  classification  as  held-for-sale  and
subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

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

(j)
(i)

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

(ii) Other long term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit
is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in
the period in which they arise.

(iii)

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

(iv) Short term benefits

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

Employee benefits (continued)
Share based payment transactions
Under the retention incentive (RI) plan, the Emeco hybrid incentive plan (EHIP) and the management
incentive plan (MIP), certain management personnel have been awarded rights (Rights) to receive
fully paid ordinary shares in the company, the award and vesting of which is subject to performance
and or service conditions. There is no entitlement to dividends (or shadow dividends) on unvested
rights.

Under the FY16 RI, rights granted to each RI participant vested if service conditions were met. The
fair value of these rights granted under the RI have been measured using Monte Carlo simulation
analysis and are expensed evenly over the period from grant to vesting date.

The EHIP comprises a short term cash and longer term equity settled component. The Rights are
granted to each EHIP participant based on KPIs and service conditions. These rights have vesting
dates up to two years. The fair value of rights granted are based on a volume weighted average
price (VWAP) and are expensed evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date.

Under the MIP, Rights granted to participants are subject to service conditions. These have various
vesting dates ranging up to 5  years. The fair value of these  Rights are based on VWAP and are
expensed evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date.

Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the liability.

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

(m) Revenue

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which
is effective from 1 July 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The application of AASB 15
has not had a significant impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group.

Revenue is disclosed based on the type of good or service provided. This is detailed below:

(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.  The  rental  of  each  machine  is  considered  to  be  a  separate
performance obligation with the transaction price generally set at a rate  per hour. Customers are
billed monthly. This treatment is the same as under AASB 118.

(m) Revenue (continued)
(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. This treatment is the same
as under AASB 118.

(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. This treatment is the same as under AASB 118.

(n) Contract assets

Costs incurred to prepare  assets for work on a specific contract  (or specific anticipated contract) 
that can be separately identified are recognised as a contract asset and amortised to direct costs 
over the term of the contract.

The Group accepts that an anticipated contract is a contract where it is more likely than not that the 
contract will be obtained.

In determining the contract asset value, the following is taken into account:
(a) costs of obtaining a contract: the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are 

recognised as an asset if the entity expects to recover those costs; and

(b) costs  of  fulfilling  a  contract:  costs  that  are  required  to  be  incurred  in  order  to  fulfil  contract 
obligations  that  are  not  already  costs  accounted  for  under  other  accounting  standards  i.e. 
inventory or property, plant and equipment. 

Costs that relate directly to a contract (or a specific anticipated contract) include any of the following: 
(a) direct labour;
(b) direct materials;
(c) allocations of costs that relate directly to the contract or to contract activities;
(d) costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract; and
(e) other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the contract.

Amortisation and impairment 
An asset recognised shall be amortised to direct costs on a systematic basis that is consistent with 
the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.  

An impairment loss is recognised in direct costs in the profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying 
amount of the contract asset exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects 
to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less the costs that relate 
directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as expenses.

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.

(q)

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.

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:

(s)

(t)






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. 

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.

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.

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 
2019. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. 

(i)  AASB 16 Leases (2016) 

AASB 16 replaces AASB 17 and will be applied from 1 July 2019. Under the new standard, the Group 
is required to recognise a right of use asset and lease liability for all leases with a term of more than 
12 months, unless the underlying asset is of a low value. 

The Group is currently assessing the impact to the Group’s financial position, and how this will affect 
the Group’s profit and classification of cashflows.  As part of this process, a detailed review of the 
Group’s contracts to determine if the contract is, or contains, a lease has been undertaken. 

At  reporting  date,  the  Group  has  commitments  of  $18,340,000  (see  note  27)  relating  to  non-
cancellable operating leases. Of these commitments approximately $1,704,000 relate to short term, 
or low value assets, and the Group will elect to continue to recognise these on a straight line basis 
as  an  expense  in  the  profit  or  loss.  For  the  remaining  lease  commitments,  the  Group  expects  to 
recognise right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $36,713,000 on 1 
July  2019  which  includes  Managements  expected  exercise  of  extension  options.  The  Group  is 
estimating  an  increase  in  earnings  before  interest  tax  depreciation  and  amortisation  (EBITDA)  of 
$4,976,000, and a $719,000 reduction in reported profit after tax. 

The  Group  intends  to  apply  the  modified  retrospective  transition  approach  and  will  not  restate 
comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption.  

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (2015) has been adopted by the Group in the current 
reporting period. Please refer to the Group’s revenue recognition policy in note 3(m). 

AASB 9 Financial  instruments has  been adopted by the Group  in  the current reporting  period.  Please 
refer to the Group’s financial instruments policy in note 3(c), and impairment policy in note 3(h).

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)

Cross currency interest rate swaps
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.

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(e)

(f)

Share based payment transactions
The fair value of the Rights awarded under the MIP, RI and EHIP are measured using the option
pricing model or volume weighted average price. For the option pricing model that applies to the RI
plan, 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  volume
weighted average price inputs include the weighted average of the closing share price and volume
traded over a specified period of time.

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 through 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.  The fair value of
customer contracts has been assessed using the multi-period excess earnings methodology.

6  Financial instruments 

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

credit risk;
liquidity risk; and

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  controlled  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) 

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 
$750,000,000 (2018: $700,000,000).  The Australian business held insurance for the entire financial year 
ended 30 June 2019. 

The aging of the Group’s trade receivables at the reporting date was: 

Using  the  expected  credit  loss  model  (ECL),  the  Group  establishes  an  allowance  for  impairment  that 
represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. To effectively apply 
the ECL, the Group has categories its trade receivables as follows: 
-
-

Blue chip customers: defined as having a market capitalisation of greater than $750,000,000;
Insured customers: those that are trading within terms and their trade receivable exposure under the
insured limit; and
Uninsured customers: all other customers that are not recognised in the above category.

The  Group’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  for  trade  receivables  at  the  reporting  date  by  type  of 
customer was: 

The  Group  considers  blue  chip  and  insured  customers  and  assumes  no  risk.  The  Group  only  assess 
uninsured customers, and customers that have breached their current credit limit in the ECL calculation. 

To effectively apply the ECL, the following have been considered to determine an expected default rate: 
-
-

Economic data
Historical loss trends

Economic data 
It is anticipated that a movement in key economic data i.e. commodity prices, impacts the expected credit 
loss as it may drive the way our customers’ run their operations, achieve profitability and cash flows to pay 
their receivables.  

The Group determined potential scenarios primarily driven by changes in commodity prices, which have 
been weighted by probability to determine the expected credit loss provision. 

Loss history 
Given  the  significant  change  in  operations  and  customer  mix  due  to  the  acquisition  of  Orionstone  and 
Andy’s in March 2017, Force in November 2018 and Matilda in July 2018, the Group have determined it is 
not  appropriate  to  include  a  history  earlier  than  FY18.  Therefore,  only  from  FY18  is  used  for  this 
assessment. Going forward, management plan on using an average loss history over 3-5 years depending 
on what is appropriate for the business at that point in time and in line with expected future operations. 

Historical loss trends 
The Group uses a combination of historical losses recognised for receivables in the above classifications 
and takes a view on the economic conditions that are representative of those expected to exist during the 
life of the receivable. This is based on the historical loss rates, ageing of debtors and economic factors 
that include commodity prices.

Credit risk (continued) 

Based on the factors outlined above, the Group’s expected credit loss at reporting date was $80,000. In 
addition  to  the  $80,000  provision  calculated  based  on  historical  loss  trends  and  economic  factors, 
$436,000 relating to specific customers is considered doubtful by the Group and has been provided for. 

The movement in the credit loss allowance in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows: 

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.  

Credit-impaired financial assets 
The Group will assess if a financial asset is impaired when amounts are past due by more than 120 days. 
A  provision  for  impairment  will  be  recognised  unless  the  Group  has  reasonable  and  supportable 
information that an impairment is not required to be recognised. 

Cash 
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $36,189,000 at 30 June 2019 (2018: $171,431,000), 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 2019 the Group held 
$Nil of bank guarantees (2018: $116,000) and $Nil of prepayments (2018: $Nil). 

Guarantees  
Financial  guarantees are generally  only  provided to  wholly  owned subsidiaries or  when  entering  into a 
premise rental agreement or asset lease liability. Details of outstanding guarantees are provided in note 
28. At 30 June 2019 $1,744,000 guarantees were outstanding (2018: $3,531,000).

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$322,131,000 which mature on 30 
March 2022. The nominal fixed interest rate is 9.25%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity.  

The Group has an A$65,000,000 facility that matures in September 2021 with a 2 year option to extend, 
which has two sub facilities consisting of a Loan Note Agreement Facility (LNA) of A$62,000,000 and a 
Bank  Guarantee  Facility  of  A$3,000,000.  The  bank  guarantee  facility  was  reduced  from  A$5,000,000 
during the period to reduce the holding costs of the unrequired portion of this facility. The bank guarantee 
facility  attracts  a  fee  of  up  to  1.57%  on  the  unutilised  portion  of  the  facility,  and  a  fee  of  3.5%  on  the 
outstanding balance of guarantees on issue. The nominal interest rate on the LNA is equal to the aggregate 
of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) plus a margin of between 3.25% and 3.5% dependant on the portion of 
the facility utilised. 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 LNA but 
had utilised A$1,744,000 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$21,909,000  (2018:  A$1,155,000)  which  have  various 
maturities up to July 2024.

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

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. 

The Group had issued secured fixed interest notes on 31 March 2017 to the value of US$360,818,000. 
Of these notes on issue, the Group held US$4,890,000, which was netted off the total notes outstanding. 
On 24 August 2018, Emeco cancelled the US$4,890,000 notes that it held leaving US$355,928,000 notes 
on issue.  

On 22 October 2018, Emeco undertook an excess cash offer to buy back notes on market at a price of 
1.0675.  The  total  face  value  of  notes  bought  back  and  subsequently  cancelled  was  US$33,797,000, 
leaving US$322,131,000 notes outstanding at reporting date, of which the full face value of the principal 
and interest has been hedged to Australian Dollars until maturity. As derivatives have been entered into, 
hedge accounting has been applied to these instruments.

Sensitivity analysis 
A weakening of the Australian dollar, as indicated below, against the  US dollar at 30 June 2019 would 
have  affected 
in  US  dollars  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 2018, 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 
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 2018. 

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 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 hedged item is recorded in
the statement of other comprehensive income. Any movements in the fair value of unhedged items
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

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 18.0% 
(2018: 11.7%). This includes non-recurring items of $26,245,000 (2018: $33,500,000) after tax. Had the 
non-recurring items not been included in the Group EBIT, return on capital for the year would have been 
21.0% (2018: 19.6%).  

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
2019 was $23,355,000 (2018: $22,726,000).
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.

13  Capital and reserves (continued) 

Reserve for own shares (1) 
The reserve for own shares comprises of shares purchased on market to satisfy the vesting of shares 
and rights under the  employee share plans.  Rights that are forfeited under the Company’s  employee 
share plans due to employees not meeting the service vesting requirement will remain in the reserve. As 
at  30  June  2019  the  Company  held  16,847,903  treasury  shares  (2018:  restated  comparative  of 
13,508,147 to reflect the 27 November 2018 10:1 share  consolidation) in satisfaction of the employee 
share plans. 

Foreign currency translation reserve (1) 
The  translation  reserve  comprises  all  foreign  currency  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  the 
financial statements of foreign operations. 

Hedging reserve (1) 
The  hedging  reserve  comprises  the  effective  portion  of  the  cumulative  net  change  in  fair  value  of 
underlying  hedged  debt  and  fair  value  of  hedging  instruments  used  in  cash  flow  hedges  pending 
subsequent recognition of hedged cash flows. 

Share based payment reserve (1) 
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 (2018: $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) 
(e) 

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;  
franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years; and 
franking credits acquired through business combinations. 

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 (2018: $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 $77,222,000 (2018: $65,146,000) franking credits.

14  Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale 

During the year $24,380,000 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 $6,641,000 to their fair value less cost to sell based on market prices of 
similar equipment. 

As  at  30  June  2019,  the  non-current  assets  held  for  sale  comprised  assets  of  $2,906,000  (2018: 
$8,007,000).  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.

15  Segment reporting 

The  Group  has  three  (2018:  four)  reportable  segments,  as  described  below,  which  are  the  Group’s 
strategic  business  units.    The  strategic  business  units  offer  different  products  and  services,  and  are 
managed separately because they require different operational strategies for each geographic region.  For 
each  of  the  strategic  business  units,  the  managing  director  and  board  of  directors  review  internal 
management reports on a monthly basis.  The following summary describes the operations in each of the 
Group’s reportable segments: 

Australian Rental 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  solutions  to  customers  in 
Australia,  including  maintenance  services  for  equipment  on  hire.  Additional 
technology  platforms  have  been  developed  to  enable  customers  to  improve 
mining efficiencies of their rental machines. 

Australian Workshops  Provides  maintenance  and  component  rebuild  services  to  customers  in 

Australia. 

Chile (discontinued) 

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

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  $287,000  (2018: 
$6,056,000) is attributable entirely to the owners of the Company.  

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  manages  depreciation  at  an  individual  componentisation  of  asset  level.  Depreciation  is 
calculated based on a standard machine hour usage basis. 

Security 
The Group’s assets are subject to a fixed and floating charge under the terms of the new notes issued. 
Refer note 23 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 2019, it was determined that no significant impairment indicators existed that warranted 
further impairment testing.  

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 2018. 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 9.6%. 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 three 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 2.3% was used over the three years of the forecast.

Bank loans 
The Group has an A$65,000,000 facility that matures in September 2021 with a two year option to extend, 
which has two sub facilities consisting of a Loan Note Agreement Facility (LNA) of A$62,000,000 and a 
Bank  Guarantee  Facility  of  A$3,000,000.  The  bank  guarantee  facility  was  reduced  from  A$5,000,000 
during the period to reduce the holding costs of the unrequired portion of this facility. The bank guarantee 
facility  attracts  a  fee  of  up  to  1.57%  on  the  unutilised  portion  of  the  facility,  and  a  fee  of  3.5%  on  the 
outstanding  balance  of  guarantees  on  issue.  The  nominal  interest  rate  on  the  LNA  is  equal  to  the 
aggregate of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) plus a margin of between 3.25% and 3.5% dependant on 
the portion of the facility utilised. 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 LNA but had utilised A$1,744,000 of the bank guarantee facility. 

Secured notes issue 
The Group has issued secured fixed interest notes to the value of US$322,131,000 which matures on 30 
March 2022. The nominal fixed interest rate is 9.25%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity. 
Under the terms of the note agreement, the noteholders hold a joint fixed and floating charge with the 
revolving credit facility bank over the assets and undertakings of the Group. The notes are measured at 
amortised cost. The notes have a limitation on capital expenditure to the amount of A$100,000,000, net 
of proceeds from disposals for the 12-month period commencing 31 March 2017 and for each subsequent 
12-month period. Any unused limit can be carried forward for the subsequent 12-month period. The debt 
is fully hedged to AUD until maturity and the Group has designated derivatives (cross currency interest 
rate swaps) as hedge instruments against this underlying debt. 

On 22 October 2018, Emeco undertook an excess cash offer to buy back notes on market at a price of 
1.0675.  The  total  face  value  of  notes  bought  back  and  subsequently  cancelled  was  US$33,797,000, 
leaving US$322,131,000 notes outstanding at reporting date.

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.

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 2019, 
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 2019 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.

The relevant 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.   

Significant judgement is 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: 

  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 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 
  Assessing what temporary differences would 

reverse in the forecast taxable income to assist in 
determining how much tax losses will be utilised.  

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.
