Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholders  

I am pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for the 2023 financial year (FY23). 

FY23  has  been  another  active  year  for  Emeco  as  strong  conditions  in  commodity  markets  fuelled 
exceptional demand and activity levels across our business.  Our robust business model assisted our highly 
capable management team to meet the ongoing challenges of managing cost inflation and labour shortages 
in a dynamic equipment market. 

On  behalf  of  the  Board,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  entire  Emeco  team  for  their  ongoing  commitment  to 
providing  the  highest  quality  rental  fleet  and  services  to  our  customers  across  each  of  our  businesses.  
Their ability to work proactively with our customers to deliver solutions that add value to their operations 
remains core to the ongoing success of our Company.  

Operational & Financial Performance 

Safety  remains  Emeco’s  highest  priority  and  our  performance  in  good  safety  is  something  we  are  very 
proud of.  Regrettably, during the year, we reported our first Lost Time Injury (LTI) in over seven years and 
this saw our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) increase to 2.9.  We are never complacent 
about safety, and we learn from these experiences and have reviewed our processes and addressed the 
risks which led to this event.   

Our  financial  performance  can  be  considered  a  story  of  two  halves.    Pleasingly,  we  delivered  a  strong 
turnaround  performance  in  the  second  half,  with  growth  in  revenue  and  earnings  across  each  of  our 
businesses.  This  followed  a  disappointing  start  to  the  year  which  was  negatively  impacted  by  the 
underperformance of our Pit N Portal (PNP) business, as reported in our half year results.   

On a very positive note, the Group reported revenue of $874.9 million for the year, an increase of 16% on 
the prior period, and Operating EBITDA of $250.4 million which was largely in line with FY22. 

Credit issues reported in the first half have been addressed with the resetting of the PNP project portfolio, 
increased resources and the implementation of enhanced processes surrounding customer selection and 
credit management. 

Sustainability 

Emeco  strives  to  create  a  sustainable  business  which  continues  to  deliver  creative  solutions  for  our 
customers, a family feel for our people, support for our local communities, and value for our investors.   

The  Board  endorsed  Emeco’s  inaugural  Environmental,  Social  and  Governance  (ESG)  Strategy  in 
February 2023.  An ESG Committee was established in March to discuss, shape and measure initiatives 
of the  Strategy and to assist with establishing systems to report on progress and compliance with  Task 
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). 

This work included:    
- 

identifying the relevant data required to be collected as well as implementing processes to enhance 
our compliance reporting; 
the formation of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) working group in June 2023 to assist with the 
implementation of the Company’s inaugural RAP, which is currently being drafted with 
Reconciliation Australia; 
development of the Company’s climate change position, regarding Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; 
and 
investing in technology development to support our lowering of carbon emissions for our customers.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management 

Emeco  remains  committed  to  prudent  capital  management  and  disciplined  capital  allocation  decision 
making across our sustaining, replacement, and growth investment initiatives.  The strength of our balance 
sheet and our continuing strong cash flow generation allows us to return funds to our shareholders whilst 
providing flexibility to sustain and grow our Company.

Dear Shareholders  

I am pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for the 2023 financial year (FY23). 

FY23  has  been  another  active  year  for  Emeco  as  strong  conditions  in  commodity  markets  fuelled

about safety, and we learn from these experiences and have reviewed our processes and addressed the

businesses.  This  followed  a  disappointing  start  to  the  year  which  was  negatively  impacted  by  the 

underperformance of our Pit N Portal (PNP) business, as reported in our half year results.   

On a very positive note, the Group reported revenue of $874.9 million for the year, an increase of 16% on

the formation of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) working group in June 2023 to assist with the 

implementation of the Company’s inaugural RAP, which is currently being drafted with 

development of the Company’s climate change position, regarding Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; 

investing in technology development to support our lowering of carbon emissions for our customers.   

Strong cash conversion, particularly in the second half, allowed the Group to continue to fund its capital 
investment  programme,  which  included  $21.8  million  in  growth  capital  expenditure,  the  assets  of  which 
have now been deployed into projects.

The Board remains committed to its capital management policy of returning 25-40% of Operating NPAT to 
shareholders  via  dividend  payments  and/or  share  buy-backs.    During  the  year,  Emeco  returned  $20.4
million to shareholders by way of the payment  of  2.5  cents per share of fully franked dividends and  the 
repurchase of $7.3 million in shares.  

The Board has approved a final fully franked dividend of 1.25 cents per share, bringing total fully franked 
dividends with respect to the FY23 financial year to 2.5 cents per share.  In addition to this, the Board has 
also allocated $7.3 million to repurchase additional shares on market in 1H24, bringing total shareholder 
payouts with respect to FY23 to ~35% of Operating NPAT.  

Emeco’s balance sheet remains strong with net leverage of 1.1x, which is largely in line with the Board’s 
long-term target of 1.0x.  The Group also maintains lines of undrawn funding and cash which provide the 
flexibility to respond to the changing needs of the business and to pursue opportunities for growth.  As at 
30 June 2023, the Group held over $140.0 million in available liquidity.

In February 2023, Fitch Ratings upgraded their long-term issuer default rating to BB- from B+.  In doing so,
they noted the improvement in Emeco’s revenue visibility and defensibility through diversifying our service 
offering,  increasing  contract  tenures,  and  improving  customer  and  commodity  diversification.    This  is  a 
positive  reflection  on  the  work  that  has  been  done  by  our  management  team,  pursuant  to  our  well-
articulated strategy.   

Board & Key Management Personnel Changes

The year saw the retirement of Mr Keith Skinner from our Board.  Keith made an important contribution to 
the  Group’s  governance  and  processes,  particularly through  his  roles  as  Chair  of  the  Audit  and  Risk 
Management Committee and as a member of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee.  On behalf of 
the Board and shareholders I thank Keith and wish him well in retirement.  

In June of this year, the Company welcomed the appointment of Mr James Walker III to the Board.  James
brings  significant  financial  and  commercial  experience  from  his  30-year  career  in  executive  leadership, 
asset  management  and  investment  banking. He  also  brings  extensive  strategic  experience  from  a 
successful  career  where  he  has  been  instrumental  in  delivering  growth  and  value  for  shareholders  and 
investors.

During the year our CFO, Ms Thao Pham also announced her retirement after over a decade of service to 
Emeco in various roles. Thao’s contribution over the past decade has been exceptional, having played an 
instrumental role in the re-establishment of Emeco as Australia’s leading equipment rental and services 
Company in Australia. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Thao for her dedication and contribution. 

The Board was pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Theresa Mlikota as our new CFO.  Theresa, 
who commenced in May, is a well credentialled finance executive with deep industry knowledge and we 
are excited by the leadership and contribution she is already making to the Group.

and we have a clear strategy to deliver sustainable growth and create value for our shareholders.  

I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their ongoing contribution and to our Managing Director

shareholder value.

Managing Director’s Report 

Dear Shareholders 

It has been both an exciting and challenging year for Emeco.  Our results were delivered against a backdrop 
of record demand for our equipment and services but tested by ongoing inflationary pressures across the 
business.  Our Pit N Portal (PNP) portfolio was successfully de-risked and reset, including the renegotiation 
of rates and contractual terms with a key customer.   

The  business  is  resilient,  and  our  dedicated  team  continues  to  tackle  each  challenge  and  create  new 
opportunities, always motivated by delivering strong returns for our shareholders.   

Health & Safety 

The health and safety of our people is paramount.  Emeco remains committed to providing a healthy and 
safe workplace with a focus on continually reducing our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR). 

Unfortunately, during the year we recorded the Company’s first Lost Time Injury (LTI) in over seven years.  
This  incident  contributed  to  an  increase  in  the  Group’s  TRIFR  to  2.9.    Whilst  we  consider  this  result 
unacceptable, it is a timely reminder that when it comes to safety, we can never be complacent.     

Safeguarding  the  lives  and  health  of  our  people  is  integral  to  Emeco’s  operational  discipline,  and  we 
continue  to  embed  a  zero-harm  objective  across  all  our  sites.    We  have  developed  a  Health,  Safety, 
Environment and Training (HSET) Strategic Plan that is overseen by the General Manager, HSET and the 
members of the HSET Leadership Team.   

We  are  committed  to  re-establishing  our  strong  track  record  of  improving  safety  and  will  implement 
improvements as part of our broader HSET strategy. 

Operating and Financial Performance 

During the year, the Group delivered record revenue of $874.9 million, up 16%, driven by strong rental and 
workshop demand and an increase in fully maintained projects. 

Our second half earnings recovered strongly, after a disappointing first half.  Second half Operating EBITDA 
of $136.9 million was an increase of 21% on the first half, and a 6% increase on the prior corresponding 
period, reflecting earnings growth across each of our businesses.  Our first half earnings were impacted by 
the poor performance of our PNP business. Full year Operating EBITDA of $250.4 million was just ahead 
of FY22.    

Operating NPAT of $59.1 million and reported NPAT of $41.3 million, were both down on last year driven 
primarily by the underperformance of the PNP business as well as higher interest costs. 

Our Rental business revenue grew by 19% over the year as we deployed fleet to meet strong customer 
demand  and  increased  the  number  of  fully  maintained  projects,  in  line  with  our  strategy.    Gross  fleet 
utilisation increased to 93% driven by this new work.  Operating EBITDA increased by $19.5 million or 8% 
on FY22.  Margins declined from FY22 as a result of the increase in fully maintained projects, use of cross- 
hired fleet to meet customer demand and ongoing parts and labour cost inflation.  Margins stabilised during 
the second half with the application of contractual and out-of-cycle pricing and fleet deployment.    

Our Force business continued its strong performance, driven by a significant increase in retail customer 
activity,  whilst  also  supporting  increased  internal  rebuild  and  maintenance  activity,  with  125  equipment 
rebuilds completed during the year.  Revenue from retail customers increased 73% and Operating EBITDA 
increased 30% compared to FY22.   

Our mid-life asset rebuild model continues to underpin our ability to replace and grow our  Rental fleet to 
meet customer demand in a capital and cost-efficient manner, maximising our financial returns. We have 
also significantly increased the proportion of Force built components to both counter parts price inflation 
and to ensure security of supply in a challenging market.

Our Force business continued its strong performance, driven by a significant increase in retail customer 

activity,  whilst  also  supporting  increased  internal  rebuild  and  maintenance  activity,  with  125  equipment 

rebuilds completed during the year.  Revenue from retail customers increased 73% and Operating EBITDA

meet customer demand in a capital and cost-efficient manner, maximising our financial returns. We have 

also significantly increased the proportion of Force built components to both counter parts price inflation 

and to ensure security of supply in a challenging market.   

PNP delivered a strong second half turnaround performance, underpinned by the successful renegotiation 
of  our  contract  with  a  key  customer,  as  well  as  the  commencement  of  several  new  projects.    First  half 
earnings  were  disappointing,  reflecting  the  termination  of  several  projects,  as  we  de-risked  our  project 
portfolio.  This negatively impacted both revenue and  Operating EBITDA, as we demobilised equipment 
and people.  A $22.9 million credit loss provision was recognised in first half Statutory EBITDA to account 
for losses associated with terminated projects. The recovery from Minjar/Barto receivable during 2H23 was 
sufficient to cover a credit loss associated with Aurora Metals in 2H23 and the de-risking and reset of the 
project portfolio without the need for additional provisions.  A comprehensive counterparty risk review has 
been completed and additional credit management resources have been injected into the finance function 
to improve counterparty risk exposure going forward. 

We continue to be disciplined in our investment of capital, with $154.1 million in net sustaining capital spent 
over the course of the year.  In response to the strong customer demand in our Rental business, we also 
invested $21.8 million into additional growth fleet during the year.  This highly sought after equipment was 
quickly placed into work and is generating strong earnings and returns in line with our expectations.  The 
strength of our mid-life asset model and the capital efficiency that we drive through our asset procurement 
team and Force’s rebuild capability, provide us with a significant competitive advantage.  This is critical to 
ensuring our capital spend remains as cost efficient as possible in the current inflationary environment.   

Group  returns  remain  robust  despite  the  challenges  faced  during  the  year.    Return  on  capital  (ROC) 
employed of 13% reflects the issues at PNP, with Group ROC excluding PNP remaining strong at 18%, 
comfortably above our cost of capital.   

People & Diversity 

Emeco operates in a highly skilled and tight labour market.  Consequently, our ability to attract and retain 
people is a major pillar to the ongoing growth and success of our business.  Emeco continues to target 
greater employee engagement and to focus on long-term retention and development strategies.  

During the year our General Manager - People and Culture ran leadership development sessions for teams 
and individuals across the business.  We have also recently implemented strategies to reduce our reliance 
on subcontractors through an enhanced employee value proposition and we expect to see the benefits of 
this in FY24.   Emeco also supports its workforce in their work and personal lives, through an employee 
assistance programme, provided via a third party to all employees and their extended families.  

Diversity is an important element of meeting the changing needs of a business that operates in a dynamic 
economic  and  operational  environment.    Emeco’s  workforce  currently  comprises  13%  female  and  3.2% 
Indigenous employees, which is a solid foundation to work from to improve the diversity of our employee 
base.    The  Company  considers  a  flexible  work  arrangement  as  being  important  in  attracting  a  diverse 
workforce.    The  Group’s  flexible  work  arrangements,  saw  a  significant  increase  in  part  time  and  casual 
workers in FY23.   

Strategy 

Our strategic goal of making Emeco a sustainable and resilient business that generates long term value for 
our shareholders, guides our everyday decision making.  We continue to deliver against our four pillars of: 

-  Being the lowest cost, highest quality provider of mining equipment;  
-  Widening our customer value proposition;   
-  Building a balanced and diversified portfolio of customers and projects throughout Australia with a 

broad commodity mix; whilst  

-  Maintaining a strong balance sheet. 

In FY23, our customer value proposition was endorsed by the mining sector with a demonstrated increase 
in demand for our high-quality workshop services, the significant increase in the number of fully maintained 
projects in our Rental business and the increased use of our EOS technology. 

The  Group’s  portfolio  of  projects  expanded  during  the  year,  with  revenue  evenly  balanced  across 
commodities, customers and geographies.  Further, with the reset of the PNP project portfolio, the credit 
quality of our customer base has also been enhanced.

The Group has maintained a strong balance sheet with good access to liquidity, providing it with flexibility 
for growth or capital management initiatives.  Second half cash flow was very strong and supported the 
investment  in  fleet  and  growth  capex,  whilst also  delivering  cash  returns  to  shareholders  by  way  of 
dividends.

Looking Ahead

The  outlook for  FY24  is  positive  with  demand  across  all  businesses  expected  to  remain  robust driving 
earnings growth. Emeco continues to meet the challenges of a dynamic equipment rental market, whilst 
delivering  solid  returns  to  shareholders.    We  will  continue  to  focus  on  business  improvements,  cost
efficiencies and contract repricing initiatives to maintain the strong returns we generate on our core Rental 
business.  

Rental earnings growth is expected to be driven predominantly by high fleet utilisation and fleet growth.  
We will continue our focus on cost improvement, targeting the replacement of cross-hired fleet with owned 
equipment and converting subcontracted labour into full-time employees.  A strong portfolio of contracted 
retail  projects  will  underpin  growth  at  our  Force  workshops,  whilst  they  continue  to  support  our  Rental 
business through a growing internal rebuild program.  

PNP earnings will increase on FY23 albeit on a lower revenue base following the de-risking and reset of 
the project portfolio.  We continue to review the PNP business to consider options to improve returns.  

Net sustaining capex for the year ahead is expected to be approximately $160 million, largely in line with 
FY23 and in line with depreciation.  

Emeco  has  a  strong  track-record  in  achieving  high  returns  on  capital  investments  in  our  core  Rental 
business through our mid-life asset rebuild model.  Our FY24 capex program also includes: growth capital 
expenditure  of  approximately  $7  million  to  rebuild  five  789C  trucks,  to  replace  cross-hired  fleet,  with  an
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 19%. Further, growth capital expenditure of approximately $19 million has 
been committed to acquire 18 x 793D fleet cores.  A staged rebuild program, linked to customer demand 
will bring the total investment for this 793D fleet to $24 – 37 million. Both these investments are expected 
to generate an IRR of ~20%, once equipment is rebuilt and deployed into projects.

Emeco has also committed to the upgrade of its ERP over the next 3 years, with an approved project spend 
of ~$8 million for FY24.  This investment in technology is critical to the sustained success and growth of 
the business.

Leverage is expected to remain around the Company’s long-term target of 1.0x Operating EBITDA.

We are confident that our business model will enable us to deliver sustainable growth and deliver increased
shareholder returns in FY24.

Acknowledgements

In closing, I would like to pay tribute to the entire Emeco team across Australia.  Our people are our most 
valuable  asset  and  their  dedication  to  providing  the  highest  quality  equipment  and  solutions  for  our 
customers is unrelenting.  In what has been an exciting and challenging year, I am immensely proud of how 
they  have  demonstrated  their  capabilities  and  capacity  to  adapt  and  deliver  for  our  customers  and 
stakeholders.

Our customers are the reason our business exists, we thank them for their loyalty and support when they 
choose our brands.  We also extend our thanks to Emeco’s suppliers, financiers and community partners 
who  are  essential  to  the  delivery  of  the  high-quality equipment  and  services  that  we  provide  for  our 
customers.   

Finally, thank you to our shareholders for your continued support and investment in our Company.

The Group has maintained a strong balance sheet with good access to liquidity, providing it with flexibility 

for growth or capital management initiatives.  Second half cash flow was very strong and supported the 

investment  in  fleet  and  growth  capex,  whilst also  delivering  cash  returns  to  shareholders  by  way  of 

dividends.

Looking Ahead

business.  

The  outlook for  FY24  is  positive  with  demand  across  all  businesses  expected  to  remain  robust driving 

earnings growth. Emeco continues to meet the challenges of a dynamic equipment rental market, whilst 

delivering  solid  returns  to  shareholders.    We  will  continue  to  focus  on  business  improvements,  cost

efficiencies and contract repricing initiatives to maintain the strong returns we generate on our core Rental 

Rental earnings growth is expected to be driven predominantly by high fleet utilisation and fleet growth.  

We will continue our focus on cost improvement, targeting the replacement of cross-hired fleet with owned 

equipment and converting subcontracted labour into full-time employees.  A strong portfolio of contracted 

retail  projects  will  underpin  growth  at  our  Force  workshops,  whilst  they  continue  to  support  our  Rental 

business through a growing internal rebuild program.  

PNP earnings will increase on FY23 albeit on a lower revenue base following the de-risking and reset of 

the project portfolio.  We continue to review the PNP business to consider options to improve returns.  

Net sustaining capex for the year ahead is expected to be approximately $160 million, largely in line with 

FY23 and in line with depreciation.  

Emeco  has  a  strong  track-record  in  achieving  high  returns  on  capital  investments  in  our  core  Rental 

business through our mid-life asset rebuild model.  Our FY24 capex program also includes: growth capital 

expenditure  of  approximately  $7  million  to  rebuild  five  789C  trucks,  to  replace  cross-hired  fleet,  with  an

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 19%. Further, growth capital expenditure of approximately $19 million has 

been committed to acquire 18 x 793D fleet cores.  A staged rebuild program, linked to customer demand 

will bring the total investment for this 793D fleet to $24 – 37 million. Both these investments are expected 

to generate an IRR of ~20%, once equipment is rebuilt and deployed into projects.

Emeco has also committed to the upgrade of its ERP over the next 3 years, with an approved project spend 

of ~$8 million for FY24.  This investment in technology is critical to the sustained success and growth of 

the business.

Leverage is expected to remain around the Company’s long-term target of 1.0x Operating EBITDA.

We are confident that our business model will enable us to deliver sustainable growth and deliver increased

shareholder returns in FY24.

CONTINUED SOLID RETURNS  

Group revenue from operations was a record, increasing by 16% to $874.9 million in FY23 (FY22: $754.4 
million).  

External  Rental  revenue  increased  to  $494.8  million  (FY22:  $415.1  million),  primarily  due  to  higher 
equipment utilisation through new and expanded projects secured during the period and the increase in 
fully maintained projects.  Higher contract rates also drove revenue higher with the application of contracted 
rise and fall mechanisms as well as out-of-cycle price increases on some contracts. Force delivered a 42% 
increase  in  total  revenue,  delivering  over  125  machine  rebuilds  (both  internal  and  external)  through  its 
regional  network  of  workshops.  External  revenue  from  Force  increased  from  $90.6  million  in  FY22  to  
$156.5 million in FY23, with strong demand across all regions. Pit N Portal revenue decreased by 10% or 
$25.1 million, to $223.6 million during the year (FY22: $248.7 million), following the completion of a number 
of projects as well as the de-risking and reset of the project portfolio. 

Operating EBITDA increased to $250.4 million in FY23 (up $0.2 million on FY22).  A strong recovery in 
second half earnings, reflecting growth across each business, drove a significant improvement in half on 
half Operating EBITDA and Operating EBIT (increasing 21% and 56% respectively).  First half earnings 
were impacted by the poor performance from the Pit N Portal business.    

Operating EBITDA margins decreased to 28.6% (FY22: 33.2%), due to the poor first half performance from 
Pit N Portal.  Revenue mix (an increase in Force revenue which is lower margin) and cost inflation also 
impacted margins.  The Group continues to  pursue repricing opportunities  to counter cost  inflation and 
business  improvement  opportunities  to  improve  margins,  with  a  key  focus  on  reducing  the  use  of 
subcontracted labour and cross-hired fleet. 

Return  on  capital  (ROC)  remains  above  our  cost  of  capital  but  was  lower  at  13%  (FY22:  16%),  driven 
primarily by the  underperformance of the Pit N  Portal business.  ROC excluding Pit N  Portal of 18% is 
comfortably higher than the Company’s cost of capital.

Net other expenses for Operating EBITDA in FY22 excludes restructuring expenses of $0.8 million as well as Covid related

Repairs and maintenance expense increased to $152.7 million (FY22: $123.5 million) driven by increased 
levels of equipment utilisation, including return to work and mobilisation costs as well as parts and labour 
cost inflation.

External mining and maintenance services expenses increased to $223.9 million (FY22: $162.7 million) 
predominantly  due  to  an  increase  in  the  volume  of  rebuild  jobs  with  blue  chip  customers  in  the  Force
business, as well as an increase in parts and labour costs.

Employee  expenses increased  to  $149.8  million  (FY22:  $140.4  million),  with  higher  average  employee 
numbers to service new projects.  The Emeco workforce was supplemented with subcontracted labour, 
particularly during new project start-ups.  

Cartage and fuel expenses increased to $21.6 million, in line with higher utilisation and revenue growth 
across all segments.

Net other expenses increased to $76.5 million (FY22: $60.2 million) primarily as a result of increased fleet 
cross-hire expenses to meet customer demand for rental equipment. 

Depreciation and amortisation expense increased to $145.8 million in FY23 (FY22: $129.4 million) in line 
with revenue growth and increased equipment utilisation.

REINVESTMENT IN RENTAL FLEET 

The Group has a good track record in achieving strong returns on its investment in its fleet through the 
application of our proven mid-life asset model.  In FY23, the written down value (WDV) of the equipment 
fleet including capital work in progress and inventory increased by $49.0 million to $752.6 million, primarily 
due to the investment in capital expenditure to sustain, replace and grow our fleet size, partially offset by 
depreciation and disposals.  Our investment in sustaining capital is predominantly made up of parts and 
labour costs associated with rebuilds through our Force workshops.  

Net sustaining capital expenditure plus component inventory increased marginally, from $150.6 million in 
FY22 to $154.1 million in FY23, driven by higher utilisation levels.

Emeco  also  invested  $21.8  million  in  growth  capex  (FY22:  $17.0 million)  during  the  year  including 
approximately  $20.0  million  in  our  Rental  business,  for  the  rebuild  of  a  second-hand  fleet  of  18  trucks 
purchased at auction in FY22.  This fleet is now fully deployed and generating strong earnings and returns 
(IRR  21%)  for  our  Rental  business,  demonstrating  the  competitive  advantage  our  mid-life  asset  model 
delivers.

Total debt increased to $322.7 million, up 7% from $301.1 million in the prior year. Lease liabilities and 
other financing increased by $21.6 million or 42%, predominantly due to recognition of right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities as a result of extending several property leases.

Emeco’s cash balance was $46.7 million at 30 June 2023, a $13.5 million decrease compared to 30 June 
2022. The decrease from the prior year is predominantly due to a working capital outflow as a result of 
$23.0 million of debtor write-offs relating to Pit N Portal receivables (FY22: nil). 

The  Group  paid  dividends 
in  FY23

On 22 August 2023, the board resolved to pay a fully franked final dividend for the year ended 30 June 
2023 of 1.25 cents per share. This in combination with the fully franked interim dividend of 1.25 cents per 
share, results in total dividends for the year of 2.5 cent per share. The final dividend will be fully franked 
and will be paid on 29 September 2023. The board also resolved to undertake an on market buy-back of 
$7.3 million. This  in combination with the dividends declared for the year, results in  a  35% payout ratio 
against Operating NPAT, which is at the higher end of the Company’s preferred payout policy of 25 – 40%.

Segment Business Overview

Main markets

The Company’s business operations comprised of three segments: Rental, Pit N Portal and Workshops. 

Rental

Revenue growth was driven by strong rental demand in both Eastern and Western Regions, across coal, 
iron ore and gold projects.

The Rental segment achieved total revenue of $499.6 million during the year, an increase of 16% on FY22, 
driven  by  increased  SMU  hours  (utilisation), increased  contract  rates  and  higher  levels  of  maintained 
services, resulting from new projects secured.  External revenue of $494.8 million, increased by 19% on 
FY22.

Gross utilisation increased to 93% in FY23 (FY22: 92%) driven by new work at Saraji, Burton, Goonyella, 
Whyalla, New Wilkie, Solomon, Fimiston and South Flank projects.

Rental  Operating  EBITDA  increased  from  $240.2  million  to  $259.7  million,  an  8%  increase. Margins 
stabilised in 2H23 with the application of out-of-cycle pricing, scheduled rise and fall rate increases and 
deployment  of  idle  fleet.    Business  improvement  initiatives  will  target  contract  repricing,  subcontracted 
labour and cross-hired fleet, to improve margins which were lower at 52% for the year.  

Force Workshops

Total Force workshop activity (as measured by retail and internal revenue pre-intercompany eliminations) 
increased from $173.7 million in FY22 to $246.7 million in FY23, as a result of securing component rebuild 
works with blue chip retail customers and high internal demand from our Rental division. Over 125 machine 
rebuilds (both internal and external) were completed during the period, with retail revenue and earnings 
supported  by  growing  demand from  all  regions. The  Operating  EBITDA  contribution  from  external 
customers increased to $11.8 million (FY22: $9.0 million).

Pit N Portal

Pit  N  Portal’s  revenue  decreased  from  $248.7  million  in  FY22  to  $223.6  million  in  FY23,  reflecting 
completion of a number of projects as well as the de-risking and reset of the project portfolio.  Credit losses 
provisioned in the first half of $22.9 million were sufficient to account for full year cash losses associated 
with underperforming credits in the second half.

A strong second half turnaround in performance, with a $10.2 million improvement in Operating EBITDA 
and an increase in margin to 14%, was driven by an improvement in contract terms with a key customer
across two core projects as well as new projects secured, including Tank, Daisy Milano and Kidston.

Full  year Operating  EBITDA  decreased  from  $32.7  million  to  $17.2 million,  as  a  result  of  operational 
performance and project exits in the first half.

A review of this business is underway to identify opportunities to improve returns.

driven  by  increased  SMU  hours  (utilisation), increased  contract  rates  and  higher  levels  of  maintained 

services, resulting from new projects secured.  External revenue of $494.8 million, increased by 19% on 

Gross utilisation increased to 93% in FY23 (FY22: 92%) driven by new work at Saraji, Burton, Goonyella, 

Whyalla, New Wilkie, Solomon, Fimiston and South Flank projects.

Rental  Operating  EBITDA  increased  from  $240.2  million  to  $259.7  million,  an  8%  increase. Margins 

stabilised in 2H23 with the application of out-of-cycle pricing, scheduled rise and fall rate increases and 

deployment  of  idle  fleet.    Business  improvement  initiatives  will  target  contract  repricing,  subcontracted 

labour and cross-hired fleet, to improve margins which were lower at 52% for the year.  

Total Force workshop activity (as measured by retail and internal revenue pre-intercompany eliminations) 

increased from $173.7 million in FY22 to $246.7 million in FY23, as a result of securing component rebuild 

works with blue chip retail customers and high internal demand from our Rental division. Over 125 machine 

rebuilds (both internal and external) were completed during the period, with retail revenue and earnings 

supported  by  growing  demand from  all  regions. The  Operating  EBITDA  contribution  from  external 

customers increased to $11.8 million (FY22: $9.0 million).

Force Workshops

Pit N Portal

Pit  N  Portal’s  revenue  decreased  from  $248.7  million  in  FY22  to  $223.6  million  in  FY23,  reflecting 

completion of a number of projects as well as the de-risking and reset of the project portfolio.  Credit losses 

provisioned in the first half of $22.9 million were sufficient to account for full year cash losses associated 

with underperforming credits in the second half.

A strong second half turnaround in performance, with a $10.2 million improvement in Operating EBITDA 

and an increase in margin to 14%, was driven by an improvement in contract terms with a key customer

across two core projects as well as new projects secured, including Tank, Daisy Milano and Kidston.

Full  year Operating  EBITDA  decreased  from  $32.7  million  to  $17.2 million,  as  a  result  of  operational 

performance and project exits in the first half.

A review of this business is underway to identify opportunities to improve returns.

Business Risks 

Emeco’s short to medium term operational and financial success may be impacted by a number of factors 
which, whilst not considered likely to have an individually material impact, may be material to the Company’s 
operational and financial success if multiple risks eventuated at the same time or for prolonged durations. 
Some of these risks and mitigation strategies include, but are not limited to: 

Risk  
Vulnerability to 
mining and 
commodity cycles  

Mitigation & management strategies 
Emeco’s financial performance is influenced by the level of activity in the 
resources and mining industry, which is impacted by a number of factors beyond 
Emeco’s control. This includes: 

Climate change 
risk/Environmental, 
Social and 
Governance (ESG) 
considerations 

•  Demand for mining production which may be influenced by factors such 

as commodity prices, exchange rates and the competitiveness of 
Australian mining operations. 

•  Government policy on infrastructure spending, royalties and taxes. 
•  Policies of mine owners including their decisions to undertake their 

operations using their own equipment or rented equipment. 

In recent years, Emeco has had a firm focus on building a sustainable business 
that generates shareholder value through the cycles. To mitigate the risks posed 
by the cyclical nature of the industry, Emeco has significantly reduced its cost 
base and its capital intensity, particularly through its mid-life asset rebuild model. 
The acquisition of Force has assisted with this as it allows Emeco to rebuild its 
own components and assets cost effectively. Emeco has also focused on 
increasing the level of maintained services it provides to its customers to embed 
Emeco in customers’ operations and secure longer contract tenure. Emeco has 
also significantly diversified its commodity exposure, including an overall reduction 
in coal exposure.  

Emeco is exposed directly and indirectly to climate change risks, including an 
exposure to coal customers, which gives rise to several risks such as: 

•  Regulatory and policy risk – growing regulatory pressures and societal 

demands require companies like Emeco to be more accountable for their 
ESG performance.  Regulatory requirements and government policies to 
combat climate change and reduce greenhouse emissions are increasing. 
These regulations can lead to increased costs, operational constraints, 
and potential penalties for non-compliance for the mine owners and 
subsequently Emeco. 

•  Market and financial risk - as countries and industries shift towards 

cleaner energy sources, the demand for coal may decline, leading to 
reduced market value and potential financial losses for companies heavily 
reliant on coal. Additionally, financiers and investors are increasingly 
considering climate-related risks and may choose to divest from 
companies with high exposure to carbon-intensive assets. This may 
impact Emeco’s ability to secure cost efficient funding to maintain and 
grow its operations. 

Emeco’s acquisitions of Force (2017) and Pit N Portal (2020), together with the 
recent transfer of equipment from the Eastern Region to the Western Region has 
resulted in a significant reduction in Emeco’s coal exposure, reducing from 65% in 
FY19 to 31% in FY23.  

There is a risk that Emeco may not meet community and/or other stakeholder 
expectations regarding its business activities or other ESG performance, 
potentially leading to loss of contracts, loss of reputation, higher compliance costs, 
loss of investor confidence and an inability to secure labour.

Technology 

The technology landscape is evolving quickly. Emeco is exposed to the impacts of 
new and competing technologies in the mining services sector. 

Emeco are increasingly engaging in industry networks and maintaining 
relationships with equipment and parts manufacturers and technology providers. 
This keeps Emeco informed of changes that can be embedded into future 
strategies. Through our Force business, Emeco are in a unique position to 
leverage expertise and customer relationships to explore decarbonisation 
developments.  The Company’s mid-life asset model minimises exposure to 
equipment becoming obsolete.  

Delay or 
unavailability of 
parts  

Emeco has a significant fleet of equipment and has substantial ongoing 
requirements for consumables including parts, tyres and lubricants. If Emeco 
cannot secure a reliable supply of equipment, parts and/or consumables, there is 
a risk that its operational and financial performance may be adversely affected. 

Inflationary cost 
pressures  

Through its Force workshops, the Group has been able to increase its resilience 
to supply chain issues by reducing its reliance on third party suppliers. Emeco 
maintains strong relationships with OEM dealers and aftermarket alternate 
suppliers. Emeco uses long range forecasts to enhance the security of its supply.  
Emeco has also increased its parts inventory levels in recent times to ensure its 
fleet can be repaired and maintained as required.  

Emeco procures goods and services from a range of suppliers, that are critical to 
its business operations. These goods and services are subject to availability 
shortages and price inflation, which may not be within Emeco’s control. In 
particular, parts and labour.  The rate of cost inflation may outpace the Company’s 
ability to adjust contract pricing, which may negatively impact Emeco’s financial 
performance. 

Emeco has been engaging with customers on out-of-cycle rate increases and also 
ensuring appropriate rate increase mechanisms are included in its revenue 
contracts. There is also a tight focus on cost management and appropriate back 
charging of costs to customers. Further, performing works in-house through our 
Force business also assists to mitigate against cost pressures.  

Skilled labour 
shortages  

Emeco’s growth and profitability may be limited by loss of key operating 
personnel, inability to recruit and retain skilled and experienced employees or by 
increases in employee costs. The industry has experienced a labour shortage 
(particularly skilled labour) throughout Australia in recent times. 

Serious injury or 
fatality  

To mitigate against this, Emeco has a ‘People and Culture’ team dedicated to 
ensuring employees and potential employees become embedded in the Company 
and feel part of the team. In addition, Emeco does regular benchmarking to 
ensure employees are remunerated appropriately and in line with the market to 
remain competitive.  

There are a range of potential safety hazards to which Emeco’s employee and 
contractor workforces, and visitors are exposed. Where a serious risk results in 
the worst-case scenario, it can lead to serious injury or fatality to persons while 
undertaking activities or attending locations in connection with the Emeco 
business. Apart from the direct workers compensation expense, this may 
adversely impact operational performance or the Company’s ability to continue 
operations. Further, an employer who is found to be engaged in negligent conduct 
that results in a workplace death, may face penalties, imprisonment, legal costs, 
and reputational impacts. 

Emeco endeavours to continuously improve its management and mitigation of this 
risk through ongoing enhancements to safety plans, processes and resources.

Emeco endeavours to continuously improve its management and mitigation of this 

risk through ongoing enhancements to safety plans, processes and resources. 

Short term 
contracts, contract 
terminations and/or 
timely 
redeployment of 
fleet  

Underperformance 
of contracts 

Emeco’s traditional sources of revenue are often subject to short term contractual 
arrangements with mechanisms for termination by the client, for reasons outside 
Emeco’s control.  This may adversely affect Emeco’s ability to deliver financial 
performance in line with the expectations of the market.   

In recent years, Emeco has focused on increasing the average tenure of its 
contracts. As part of this, the Company has also focused on increasing the level of 
service it provides to its customers to embed itself in customers’ operations and 
secure longer contract tenure.  

The acquisition of Pit N Portal in 2020 has increased the average tenor of projects 
within the Emeco portfolio, given the longer-term nature of the projects within this 
business.  The Company maintains strong customer relationships to understand 
fleet requirements in order to plan fleet allocation and minimise the time fleet is 
“off hire” between projects.  

Emeco’s earnings are dependent on profitable contracts and from time to time, 
there may be underperforming contracts. Execution and delivery of projects 
involves judgement regarding the planning, development and operation of 
complex operating facilities and equipment. As a result, Emeco’s operations, cash 
flows and liquidity could be affected if the resources or time needed to complete a 
project are miscalculated, if it fails to meet contractual obligations, or if it 
encounters delays or unspecified conditions.  Financial performance of contracts 
can be impacted by matters outside the Company’s control, including wet weather, 
client funding, mine economics and planning and commodity price cycles. 

Emeco maintains a broad portfolio of contracts and customers, with a broad 
commodity and geographic spread.  This assists to ensure that the financial 
impact of any single underperforming contract is minimised. 

Extreme weather 
events 

Emeco recognises the physical impacts of extreme weather events. Risks related 
to the physical impacts of extreme weather events could disrupt mining operations 
and impact the health and safety of our workforce.  

Business disruption 
due to a cyber 
security incident 

Lack of capital 

Emeco seeks to address revenue exposure to shutdowns or contract suspensions 
through the inclusion of standby rates. The Group works with its customers in 
scenarios where extreme events have caused site wide issues or lack of access.  

The potential of cyber security attacks, misuse and release of sensitive 
information pose ongoing and real risks. 

Emeco remains vigilant to cyber threats and has taken proactive steps to reduce 
cyber risk. Critical IT assets have been identified, controls have been put in place 
to restrict unauthorised access and threat detection technology has been 
deployed to identify and isolate potential breaches.  Emeco employees also 
receive regular cyber risk awareness training. 

Emeco is capital intensive and relies on banks and other institutions to source its 
funding needs. A failure to access sufficient liquidity may limit the Company’s 
ability to grow its earnings and may prevent the Company from paying its debts as 
and when they fall due. Further, where the Company does not maintain access to 
multiple funding sources across a range of tenors, it may be subjected to 
increased establishment and interest expenses. 

Emeco adopts a conservative approach to capital management and seeks to 
maintain a low gearing, ensuring the balance sheet can withstand market shocks 
and retain the flexibility to fund opportunities which deliver earnings growth. As 
part of its pro-active capital management strategies, Emeco renewed its revolving 
credit facility in December 2022 for a tenor of three years with an option to extend 
for a further two years to December 2027 at Emeco’s election.  Further, the 
Company has secured substantial funding through the Australian loan note market 
through to 2026. 

Additionally,  the  Company  is  exposed  to  other  risks  such  as  the  impact  of  macroeconomic  factors  and 
competition. The Company manages these risks at both a strategic and day-to-day operational level.

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 current and former chief financial officer and the company secretary. Under the terms 
of  the  deed,  the  Company  indemnifies  the  officer  or  former  officer,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  for 
liabilities incurred as an officer of the Company. The deed provides that the Company must advance the 
officer reasonable costs incurred by the officer in defending certain proceedings or appearing before an 
inquiry or hearing of a government agency. 

Since  the  end  of  the  previous  financial  year,  the  Company  has  paid  premiums  in  respect  of  contracts

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 certain assurance and tax compliance services.  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

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 certain assurance and tax compliance services.  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 10 of the notes to the financial

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  &  Chief  Executive  Officer, 
executives and non-executive directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s role also includes 
responsibility  for  general  remuneration  strategy,  superannuation  and  other  benefits,  and  employee 
incentive schemes. 

The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in FY23 were Mr Peter Richards (Chair), 
Mr Peter Kane and Mr Keith Skinner (prior to his resignation on 13 June 2023). Mr James Walker III was 
appointed as a member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee from 15 August 2023.  

Further  information  on  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee’s  role  and  responsibilities  can  be

decisions,  it  seeks  external  remuneration  advice  from  time  to  time.    Where  required,  remuneration 
consultants  are  engaged  by,  and  report  directly  to,  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee.  In 
selecting  remuneration  consultants,  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  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  period,  no  remuneration  recommendations  (as  defined  by  the  Act)  were  provided  by 
remuneration consultants to the Company.   

Prohibition of hedging securities

Executive remuneration arrangements 

3. 
3.1  Remuneration principles and strategy 

Emeco’s executive remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain talented individuals 
and  align  the  interests  of  executives  and  shareholders.  The  following  diagram  illustrates  how  the 
Company’s  remuneration  strategy  aligns  with  its  strategic  direction  and  links  remuneration  outcomes  to 
performance. 

Business objective 
Build a sustainable, resilient and profitable business through scale, customer and commodity diversification and creating value through 
providing the lowest cost, highest quality earthmoving equipment solutions and related services that add value to our customers’ 
projects and embed Emeco in its customers’ operations  

Remuneration strategy linkages to business objective 

Remunerate fairly and 
appropriately 

Align executive interests with 
those of shareholders 

Attract, retain and develop proven 
performers 

Provide market-competitive 
remuneration and rewards to executives 
in order to secure the long-term benefits 
of their time, experience and loyalty and 
ensure alignment with industry trends. 

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

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

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

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

•  fulfilling their respective roles within the Group; 

•  achieving the Group’s strategic objectives; and 

•  maximising Group earnings and returns to 

shareholders.

Changes to an executive’s scope of 
responsibilities are considered during the 
annual remuneration review and, along with 
performance, drive remuneration changes. 

Rewards executives for their contribution to 
achievement of key performance indicators 
(KPIs) during the financial year. 

The key performance measures in FY23 
which determine if any short-term component 
is payable are: 
•   Emeco health and safety (total 

recordable injury frequency rate 
(TRIFR)),  

•   operating earnings before interest, tax, 

depreciation and amortisation 
(Operating EBITDA); and  

•   executive-specific operational or financial 

targets and focus areas. 

Targets are discussed in section 5. 

Variable long-
term incentive 
plan (LTI) 

Awards are made 
in the form of rights 
to ordinary Emeco 
shares (Rights). 

Rewards executives for their contribution to 
progressive achievement of Company KPIs 
over the three-year performance period. 
Awards of Rights are dependent on 
achievement of the LTI KPI.  

Vesting of awards is dependent on the 
Company’s performance inherent within 
which is the creation of long-term growth and 
value for shareholders and a more 
sustainable, resilient and profitable business. 

Performance Rights may be converted into 
shares after vesting at the end of the three-
year performance period (subject to any 
earlier vesting as set out below) directly 
aligning executive interests with 
shareholder value over the three-year 
period. 

Further, the incentive’s value is ultimately 
dependent on the Company’s share price 
after the three-year performance period, 
driving executives to maximise shareholder 
return.  Targets are discussed in section 5.

Approach to setting remuneration and details of incentive plans  

In FY23, the executive remuneration framework consisted of fixed remuneration and short-term 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 which is aligned with targeted market 
comparators. This level and mix is determined on an individual basis. 

The table below illustrates the overall remuneration mix available for fixed remuneration and short 
and long-term incentives for the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer and other executives 
for FY23.  The target mix for each individual is considered appropriate for Emeco based on the 
Company’s short-term and long-term objectives and the relevant executive’s role and 
responsibilities.

Fixed remuneration 

How is fixed 
remuneration 
reviewed and

Fixed remuneration is reviewed periodically.  Any fixed remuneration changes for executives 
takes into account changes in position, responsibilities and performance and are aligned with 
targeted market comparators.  Changes to an executive’s fixed remuneration is subject to 
approval from the Board (and any recommendations of the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee).  

Variable remuneration - FY23 Short-term incentive plan (FY23 STI) 

What is the purpose 
of the plan? 

The FY23 STI plan is a cash incentive that rewards executives for their contribution to 
achievement of certain KPIs in the financial year. 

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

When is 
performance 
measured? 

The KPIs for the FY23 STI plan are based on a balance of financial and non-financial 
measures which provide the platform for the long-term performance, growth, resilience and 
sustainability of the Company, assessed at either a Company or individual level.  

See section 5 for more information on the FY23 KPIs. 

Achievement against the STI KPIs is assessed in conjunction with finalisation of the Company’s 
full year results. 

How are awards 
determined? 

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

How is it paid? 

FY23 STI awards are paid in cash. 

What happens if an 
executive leaves?  

The FY23 STI award is only paid to executives employed by the Group after performance is 
assessed against the STI KPIs. 

Variable remuneration - FY23 Long-term incentive plan (FY23 LTI)  

What is the purpose 
of the plan? 

The FY23 LTI plan is an equity incentive that rewards executives for their contribution to 
achievement of certain KPIs over a three-year period. 

Under this plan, one-third of a participant’s maximum entitlement is tested each year against 
the KPI set for that year.  The Board believes that assessing KPIs each year is appropriate 
given the cyclic nature of the mining sector.  Assessing achievement annually ensures that 
executives are rewarded for their performance in each year of the performance period.  

Awards under the FY23 LTI plan are made in the form of Rights.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors’ report 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 

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

The KPI for year 1 of the FY23 LTI is earnings per share growth, which is designed to further 
align management with shareholder value through the focus on Company performance and 
financial outcomes.   

To ensure continued appropriate alignment of the KPI to business performance and 
shareholder interests throughout the business and industry cycle, the Board will consider the 
KPI for each of year 2 and year 3 of the FY23 LTI at the beginning of the relevant year.  

See section 5 for more information on the FY23 KPI. 

When is 
performance 
measured? 

Achievement against the LTI KPI is measured by the Board, with the assistance of the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee, at the time of the Company’s full year results. 

The FY23 LTI plan spans a three-year performance period. Performance is assessed annually 
by the Board in conjunction with approval of the full year results (see “How is variable 
remuneration delivered” on page 30). 

How are awards 
determined? 

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

How is it paid? 

FY23 LTI awards are paid by issuing rights (Rights) to fully paid ordinary Emeco shares 
(Shares). Rights issued under the FY23 LTI plan are scheduled to vest after announcement of 
Emeco’s annual results in 2025.  

Under the FY23 LTI Plan, executives have the option to convert the Rights into Shares at any 
time within 5 years from the vesting date, unless the executive leaves Emeco earlier (see 
“What happens if an executive leaves?” below). 

The maximum possible award of Rights to each executive under the FY23 LTI plan was 
calculated by reference to the volume-weighted average price of Emeco shares for the 20 
business days following the release of Emeco’s FY22 results, being 88.68 cents. Rights will be 
issued at no cost to the executive. The ultimate value of the FY23 LTI award is determined by 
the Emeco share price once the Rights have vested and are converted into Shares, providing 
further alignment with the long-term interests of shareholders. 

What happens if an 
executive leaves?  

Under the FY23 LTI plan, if Emeco has terminated the executive’s employment for misconduct 
or other breach of employment contract, all the Rights issued to the executive under the FY23 
LTI plan will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board.  

If the executive leaves the Emeco Group for any other reason, Rights that have been tested 
and issued under the FY23 LTI plan will immediately vest and must be exercised into Shares 
within 12 months from vesting.  

The executive will have no entitlement to untested awards. 

What happens if 
there is a change in 
control? 

In the event of absolute change in control (i.e. the acquisition by a third party and its associates 
of more than 50% of the Company’s shares) or an effective change of control (i.e. a third party 
acquiring the capacity to determine the Company’s financial and operating policies): 
• 
rights which have been tested and issued under the FY23 LTI plan; and  
•    awards in respect of any component of the FY23 LTI that has not been tested, 

will vest on the change date.   

What other terms 
apply to the Rights? 

Dividends are not payable, and there are no voting entitlements, on Rights issued under the 
LTI plan (whether vested or unvested). Rights cannot be disposed of, other than by conversion 
of vested Rights into Shares (which, can then be transferred or sold subject to the Company’s 
share trading policy).

4.    Relationship between executive remuneration and company performance   

Emeco’s remuneration objectives aim to align the interests of Emeco’s executives with the interests of the 
Company and its shareholders. This is achieved by ensuring that a significant proportion of an executive’s 
remuneration is “at risk” and tied to the satisfaction of KPIs which relate to the Company’s performance and 
long-term growth. Details of those KPIs, and the Company’s performance in respect of those measures, 
are set out in section 5. 

In FY23, the KPIs for variable components of executive remuneration were directed at driving and rewarding 
the executive’s contribution to the Group’s financial and safety performance and personal achievements 
consistent with the Company’s strategy, performance, governance, evolution and long-term value creation.  

The STI KPIs (detailed in section 5) focussed on safety, earnings and executive-specific personal targets 
based on their roles. The FY23 LTI KPI (applicable to the FY23 testing period under the FY21 LTI, FY22 
LTI  and  FY23  LTI  Plans)  of  FY23  earnings  per  share  growth  is  designed  to  further  increase  alignment 
between  management  and  shareholders  by  recognising  the  importance  of  financial  outcomes  in  overall 
Company performance. 

Throughout  FY23,  Emeco  continued  its  focus  on  building  a  profitable  and  resilient  customer-focussed 
solutions business. External revenue for Emeco Group’s rental and workshops businesses grew 19% and 
72% respectively during FY23.  However, the consequences of the Pit N Portal project terminations and 
associated one-off costs in 1H23, together with the continuing tightening of the labour market, cross-hired 
fleet  costs,  extreme  weather  and  ongoing  inflationary  pressures,  impacted  Emeco  Group’s  overall 
performance in FY23.  As a result, the Company’s financial performance and EPS for FY23 did not achieve 
the levels required to satisfy key financial FY23 KPIs.  

Emeco is committed to maintaining a strong safety culture. Regrettably, the total recordable injury frequency 
rate  (TRIFR)  has  increased  from  1.9  in  FY22  to  2.9  in  FY23,  with  the  Company’s  first  Lost  Time  Injury 
reported in over 7 years. Due to the increase in TRIFR, the safety target for FY23 was not met. 

However, satisfaction of personal goals and key initiatives identified for each executive under the individual 
STI targets (set out in section 5) resulted in partial STI awards. 

What are the KPIs 

and how do they 

The KPI for year 1 of the FY23 LTI is earnings per share growth, which is designed to further 

align management with shareholder value through the focus on Company performance and 

align with business 

financial outcomes.   

performance? 

To ensure continued appropriate alignment of the KPI to business performance and 

shareholder interests throughout the business and industry cycle, the Board will consider the 

KPI for each of year 2 and year 3 of the FY23 LTI at the beginning of the relevant year.  

See section 5 for more information on the FY23 KPI. 

When is 

performance 

measured? 

Achievement against the LTI KPI is measured by the Board, with the assistance of the 

Remuneration and Nomination Committee, at the time of the Company’s full year results. 

The FY23 LTI plan spans a three-year performance period. Performance is assessed annually 

by the Board in conjunction with approval of the full year results (see “How is variable 

remuneration delivered” on page 30). 

How are awards 

determined? 

Awards are determined by the Board, on recommendation of the Remuneration and 

Nomination Committee, after consideration of performance against the applicable KPI. 

How is it paid? 

FY23 LTI awards are paid by issuing rights (Rights) to fully paid ordinary Emeco shares 

(Shares). Rights issued under the FY23 LTI plan are scheduled to vest after announcement of 

Emeco’s annual results in 2025.  

Under the FY23 LTI Plan, executives have the option to convert the Rights into Shares at any 

time within 5 years from the vesting date, unless the executive leaves Emeco earlier (see 

“What happens if an executive leaves?” below). 

The maximum possible award of Rights to each executive under the FY23 LTI plan was 

calculated by reference to the volume-weighted average price of Emeco shares for the 20 

business days following the release of Emeco’s FY22 results, being 88.68 cents. Rights will be 

issued at no cost to the executive. The ultimate value of the FY23 LTI award is determined by 

the Emeco share price once the Rights have vested and are converted into Shares, providing 

further alignment with the long-term interests of shareholders. 

What happens if an 

executive leaves?  

Under the FY23 LTI plan, if Emeco has terminated the executive’s employment for misconduct 

or other breach of employment contract, all the Rights issued to the executive under the FY23 

LTI plan will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board.  

If the executive leaves the Emeco Group for any other reason, Rights that have been tested 

and issued under the FY23 LTI plan will immediately vest and must be exercised into Shares 

within 12 months from vesting.  

The executive will have no entitlement to untested awards. 

What happens if 

there is a change in 

In the event of absolute change in control (i.e. the acquisition by a third party and its associates 

of more than 50% of the Company’s shares) or an effective change of control (i.e. a third party 

control? 

acquiring the capacity to determine the Company’s financial and operating policies): 

• 

rights which have been tested and issued under the FY23 LTI plan; and  

•    awards in respect of any component of the FY23 LTI that has not been tested, 

will vest on the change date.   

What other terms 

apply to the Rights? 

Dividends are not payable, and there are no voting entitlements, on Rights issued under the 

LTI plan (whether vested or unvested). Rights cannot be disposed of, other than by conversion 

of vested Rights into Shares (which, can then be transferred or sold subject to the Company’s 

share trading policy).

5.    Executive remuneration outcomes for FY23 

5.1   Fixed remuneration outcomes  

Following the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and to ensure that the 
Company  continues  to  remunerate  executives  fairly  and  appropriately  and  provide  market-competitive 
remuneration, existing executives received a 4.5% increase in their total fixed remuneration in FY23, (which 
included the compulsory 0.5% increase in the superannuation guarantee) as part of their annual review. 

5.2  Variable remuneration outcomes 

In  FY23,  executives  had  both  common  and  individual  KPIs  in  order  to  align  the  performance  of  each 
executive with the overall success of the Company.  Set out below is information regarding satisfaction of 
the applicable KPIs for the FY23 STI and LTI plans. 

5.2.1  FY23 STI plan 

Table 12 below sets out the KPIs for the FY23 STI and the respective weightings. In the Board’s view, these 
KPIs align the reward of executives with the interests of shareholders. The FY23 STI provided for pro-rata 
entitlements where achievement was between the thresholds and targets.

5.2.2  FY23 LTI plan 

The Board sets the KPI for the FY23 LTI annually for each financial year during the performance period. 
This allows the Board to ensure that the KPI remains appropriate and targets those areas most applicable 
to business performance.   

The  FY23  KPI  is  based  on  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  growth  during  FY23,  reflecting  the  importance  of 
financial outcomes in overall company performance at this stage in  the Company’s evolution. The same 
FY23 EPS growth KPI applied for the FY23 testing periods under each of the open LTI plans, being year 1 
of the FY23 LTI, year 2 of the FY22 LTI and year 3 of the FY21 LTI. 

In light of the Company’s overall performance, the EPS growth outcome did not meet the level required to 
satisfy the EPS growth KPI.   

5.2.1  FY23 STI plan 

5.2.3  Incentive outcomes 

As set out above, the FY23 STI KPIs focused on safety, earnings and executive-specific personal targets. 
As the safety and earnings KPIs were below the required threshold, no award was made for these items. 
However, good performance against personal STI targets resulted in partial STI awards.  

Following the partial achievement of these personal KPIs, Mr Ian Testrow received an STI award for FY23 
equal to 18% of the maximum STI award, with the remaining 82% forfeited. 

Ms Thao Pham, received an STI award attributable to her achievements in FY23 while a KMP equal to 13% 
of the maximum STI award, with the remaining 87% forfeited.

As  noted  above,  the  FY23  LTI  is  assessed  progressively  over  a  three-year  period  with  one-third  of  the 
maximum incentive being tested each year. Accordingly, a maximum of two-thirds of each executive’s FY23 
award is available to be earned after FY23, with one-third deferred to after FY24 and one-third deferred to 
after FY25.  

As no award was made under the FY23 LTI for the FY23 testing period, the maximum that may be received 
under the FY23 LTI Plan following deferred testing in FY24 and FY25 is equal to 67% or two-thirds of the 
maximum FY23 LTI entitlement (see table 11 above for maximum entitlement).  

After assessment of the FY23 EPS growth KPI with no award being made for the FY23 testing period under 
the FY21 LTI plan, FY22 LTI plan and FY23 LTI plan, the cumulative LTI outcomes are summarised in the

Executive contracts 

FY23 remuneration arrangements for executives are formalised in employment agreements which provide 
for an indefinite term. The executives’ termination provisions under those employment agreements during 
FY23 are as follows:

[1]  Other than salary in lieu of notice and accrued statutory leave entitlements.  
[2]  As announced to the ASX on 3 August 2023, Mr Testrow’s employment agreement was varied with effect from FY24 such that 
various aspects of the termination provisions for FY24 to FY27 will be different from that stated above. As set out in the ASX 
announcement dated 3 August 2023 and subject to obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals, pursuant to the contract 
variation, if Mr Testrow were to die or suffer a total and permanent disability or if there were to be an absolute change of control 
of the Company during this period, Mr Testrow may be eligible to receive unpaid fixed remuneration up to 30 June 2027 and 
Mr Testrow’s untested incentives relating to FY24 to FY27 may be awarded and vest.  

7. 

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 objectivity and avoid any 
perceived bias in their decision-making.  

Non-executive director fees are usually reviewed and benchmarked annually in August against fees paid 
to non-executive directors of comparable companies with similar market capitalisation and industry as the 
Company. The Board may consider advice from external consultants when undertaking the annual review 
process.  

The ASX listing rules specify that the non-executive directors 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 non-executive directors’ pool at the 2023 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.  

Following the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, the non-executive director 
fees were increased by 4% in FY23.

For the year ended 30 June 2023 

[A]  Mr Testrow’s grant of awards under the: (i) FY19 MIP were approved by shareholders on 15 November 2018; (ii) FY20 LTI (Year 1) 
was approved by shareholders on 12 November 2020; (iii) FY20 LTI (Year 2) and FY21 LTI (Year 1) was approved by shareholders 
on 18 November 2021 and (iv) FY20 LTI (Year 3), FY21 LTI (Year 2) and FY22 LTI (Year 1) was approved by shareholders on 
17 November 2022. No grant will be made in respect of FY21 LTI (Year 3), FY22 LTI (Year 2) and FY23 LTI (Year 1).  Refer to 
the applicable notice of meeting for further details regarding these grants. Mr Testrow may, subject to shareholder approval, also 
be granted up to 353,607 Rights in respect of Year 3 of the FY22 LTI and up to 479,192 Rights in respect of each of Year 2 and 
Year 3 of the FY23 LTI.   

[B]  Ms Pham ceased to be a KMP on 7 May 2023.  
[C]  This figure represents maximum entitlement under the FY20, FY21, FY22 and FY23 LTI plans across each year in the three-year 
performance period and does not reflect the number of Rights that may be issued in each year across the performance period 
after testing of the relevant KPIs. Refer to table 16 for more information regarding Rights held by KMPs. 

[D]  Rights  under  the  FY20  LTI  vested  on  18  August  2022,  becoming  vested  performance  rights  capable  of  being  exercised  into 
ordinary shares in accordance with their terms. Further details regarding the FY20 LTI plan is set out in the FY20 remuneration 
report. 

[E]  Following satisfaction of the applicable service condition, Ms Pham received 553,557 shares following the vesting of the FY19 
MIP performance rights on 30 June 2023. Further details regarding the FY19 MIP are set out in the FY19 remuneration report. 
[1]  Grant date in this table relates to the grant of the long-term incentive for accounting purposes only and, in respect of the FY20, 

FY21 FY22 and FY23 incentive plans, differs from the date Rights may be issued over the course of the life of the plan. 

[2]  All figures are post-consolidation (where applicable). Figures for Mr Testrow are stated following assessment of the relevant KPI 
by the Board and shareholder approval. Figures for other executives represent the maximum entitlement under the FY20, FY21, 
FY22 and FY23 LTI plans and are stated prior to assessment of the relevant KPI. 

[3]  Includes amounts for FY21 LTI (Year 3), FY22 LTI (Year 2) and FY23 LTI (Year 1) following the assessment of the FY23 KPI by 

the Board after the end of the FY23 financial year. 

[4]  Vesting of Rights are subject to satisfaction of vesting and performance conditions and, in some circumstances, may be earlier 
than the date stated above (see section 3.2, ‘What happens if an executive leaves?’ in respect of the FY23 LTI plan). A participant 
has a period of time in which to exercise any vested rights into shares. The minimum total value of the grants for future financial 
years is zero if the service condition is not satisfied. An estimate of the maximum possible total value in future financial years is 
the fair value at grant date multiplied by the number of equity instruments awarded. See section 5 for details of the year 1  KPI 
applicable to awards under the FY23 LTI.  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. 

[5]  Where exact vesting dates are not noted, the vesting date will follow release of the Company’s full year results.  
[6]  For the long-term incentive awards, the fair value of awards granted in the year is the fair value of those rights calculated at grant 
date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  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  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive  Income  for  the 
relevant period.  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. 

[7]  Ms Mlikota commenced her role in May 2023 and is eligible to participate in the STI and LTI plans from FY24.

Loans to key management personnel and their related parties 

As approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM, a zero-interest loan for a principal amount of $4,948,640.55 
was provided by a subsidiary of the Company to Mr Ian Testrow. The principal amount was advanced to 
Mr Testrow in February 2023 and is repayable on the earlier of 30 June 2027, within 6 months in the event 
of Mr Testrow’s death or total and permanent disability; or, prior to the amendment of the loan described 
below, within 3 months of Mr Testrow ceasing to be employed by the Emeco Group.  

This loan aimed to incentivise Mr Testrow to retain his equity investment in the Company at current levels 
and to avoid any need for Mr Testrow to sell shares in the Company.  The proceeds of the loan were used 
to discharge a third-party interest-bearing loan taken out by Mr Testrow to assist in funding personal tax 
liabilities arising from shares in the Company received by Mr Testrow under the management incentive plan 
(as approved by shareholders in 2017 at the time of the Company’s recapitalisation).   

As  announced  on  the  ASX  on  3  August  2023  and  to  further  incentivise  Mr  Testrow  to  remain  with  the 
Company for at least the next four years, the terms of the loan to Mr Testrow have been varied with effect 
from FY24 to provide that if Mr Testrow were to resign and his employment end before 30 June 2027: 

• 

• 

the loan will attract an interest rate of 12% per annum from the date the loan was drawn until the date 
the loan is repaid in full (loan previously interest free in all circumstances); and 
the loan becomes due on the date Mr Testrow’s employment ends (previously three months after Mr 
Testrow’s employment ends).

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 

1  Reporting entity 

Emeco  Holdings  Limited  (the  ‘Company’)  is  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  address  of  the  Company’s 
registered  office  is  Level  3,  133  Hasler  Road,  Osborne  Park  WA  6017.    The  consolidated  financial 
statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’). The Group is a ‘for profit’ entity and primarily involved 
in the provision of safe, reliable and maintained earthmoving equipment solutions and mining services to 
its  customers  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 2022. 

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 22 
August 2023. 

(b)   Comparative financial information – restatement and reclassification 

The presentation of certain items in the financial statements have been amended during the period 
to simplify the presentation and aid understanding. Where applicable, comparative amounts have 
been reclassified to ensure comparability.  

On the face of the Consolidated Statement of  Profit or Loss, the  Group has  reclassified certain 
“hired  in  equipment  and  services”  costs  totalling  $12,842,000  from  “external  mining  and 
maintenance  services”  to  “other  expenses“,  to  more  accurately  reflect  the  nature  of  expenses 
incurred (refer to note 9 for further information). There was no impact on total expenses as a result 
of this reclassification.  

On  the  face  of  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position,  the  Group  has  reclassified  “leased  plant  & 
equipment” with a net book value of $14,701,000, from “Property, plant and equipment” to “Right-
of-use asset" to more accurately reflect the nature of asset held. Refer to note 21 and note 22 for 
further information. There was no impact on total assets, profit or loss or cash flow as a result of 
this reclassification. 

In  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity,  the  Group  has  transferred  the  opening 
balance of foreign currency translation reserves of $14,579,000 to accumulated losses, relating to 
foreign operations discontinued in prior periods with no likelihood of commencing in the future.  

The Company has amended the presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows for the cash receipts 
from customers and cash paid to suppliers and employees to be presented gross of GST. This 
was  done  as  it  is  considered  to  present  more  useful  information  and  aid  in  understanding. 
Comparatives have been reclassified accordingly as outlined in the table below:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 

2   Basis of preparation (continued) 

(c)   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: 
•  assets held for sale at fair value less costs of disposal; and 
• 
The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5. 

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

(d)   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  2016/191,  dated  24  March  2016,  and  in  accordance  with  that 
Corporations  Instrument,  amounts  in  the  Directors’  Report  and  the  financial  statements  are 
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows 
may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. 

(e)   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.  

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: 

Impairment of assets 
The  Group  performs  annual  impairment  testing  as  at  30  June  for  any  intangible  assets  with 
indefinite useful lives. More frequent reviews are performed of both intangible and tangible assets 
or asset groups where there are potential indicators of impairment. The identification of impairment 
indicators involves management judgement. When an indicator of impairment is identified, a formal 
impairment  assessment  is  performed.  Impairment  testing  involves  comparing  an  asset's 
recoverable amount to its carrying amount (refer to note 21 for further information).  

The Group performed annual impairment testing at 30 June 2023, and considered the following 
factors as indicators that its cash generating units (CGU’s) may be impaired: 

•  The carrying amount of the net assets of the Group were more than its market capitalisation 

at 30 June 2023; 

•  The Pit N Portal CGU incurred an EBIT loss during the period; and 
•  Market  interest  rates  have  increased  during  the  current  and  preceding  periods,  resulting  in 

higher discount rates used to calculate the CGU’s recoverable amount. 

An  impairment  assessment  was  performed  for  the  Group's  key  cash  generating  units  (CGUs), 
being Rental, Workshops and Pit N Portal, with no impairment identified.  

The Group has prepared value-in-use models for the purpose of impairment testing as at 30 June 
2023, using a five-year discounted cash flow model for Pit N Portal and ten-year discounted cash 
flow model for Rental  and  Workshops.  Cash flows beyond the  forecast period are extrapolated 
using a terminal value growth rate. Key areas of judgement relate to the forecast utilisation rates, 
pricing  for  the  fleet,  repairs  and  maintenance  expenditure,  other  operating  costs,  capital 
expenditure and discount rates.

Impairment of assets (continued) 
In performing its detailed impairment assessment, the Group has considered: 
• 

long-term  commodity  prices  and  therefore  the  demand  for  earthmoving  equipment  and 
associated services; 
independent fair market value of its property, plant and equipment; 
supply chain risks and therefore the impact on the ability of the Group to deliver its products 
and services; 
the  likelihood  of  any  continued  disruption  to  the  operations  of  the  Group’s  customers,  as  a 
result of labour shortages; and 
the impact of decarbonisation and ESG related impacts on operations and asset life.   

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for 

the following material items in the statement of financial position: 

•  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.

The  Group  performs  annual  impairment  testing  as  at  30  June  for  any  intangible  assets  with 

indefinite useful lives. More frequent reviews are performed of both intangible and tangible assets 

or asset groups where there are potential indicators of impairment. The identification of impairment

impairment  assessment  is  performed.  Impairment  testing  involves  comparing  an  asset's 

recoverable amount to its carrying amount (refer to note 21 for further information).  

The Group performed annual impairment testing at 30 June 2023, and considered the following 

factors as indicators that its cash generating units (CGU’s) may be impaired: 

•  The carrying amount of the net assets of the Group were more than its market capitalisation 

at 30 June 2023; 

•  The Pit N Portal CGU incurred an EBIT loss during the period; and 

•  Market  interest  rates  have  increased  during  the  current  and  preceding  periods,  resulting  in 

higher discount rates used to calculate the CGU’s recoverable amount. 

An  impairment  assessment  was  performed  for  the  Group's  key  cash  generating  units  (CGUs), 

being Rental, Workshops and Pit N Portal, with no impairment identified.  

The Group has prepared value-in-use models for the purpose of impairment testing as at 30 June 

2023, using a five-year discounted cash flow model for Pit N Portal and ten-year discounted cash 

flow model for Rental  and  Workshops.  Cash flows beyond the  forecast period are extrapolated 

using a terminal value growth rate. Key areas of judgement relate to the forecast utilisation rates, 

pricing  for  the  fleet,  repairs  and  maintenance  expenditure,  other  operating  costs,  capital 

expenditure and discount rates. 

The  post-tax  discount  rate  used  in  the  calculations  is  9.8%  (2022:  8.7%).  The  rate  reflects  the 
underlying cost of capital adjusted for market and asset specific risks. For the future cash flows of 
the CGU’s, 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  depend on the level  of tendering activity and the Group’s conversion rate and for 
subsequent years were based on Rental’s ten-year, and Pit N Portal’s five-year outlook taking into 
account all available information at this current time and are subject to change over time.  

The  forecast  cash  flow  estimates  used  in  assessments  for  all  CGU’s  were  based  on  Board 
approved budgets for the  year ending  30 June 2024.  A revenue compound annual  growth rate 
(CAGR) of 2.2% for Rental and Workshops and 9.7% for Pit N Portal was used over the remaining 
forecast years. The terminal value growth rate represents the long-term forecast consumer price 
index  (CPI)  of  2.0%  (2022:  2.0%)  for  all  CGUs.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  all  of  the  Group's 
CGUs continued to exceed their carrying amounts at 30 June 2023, with no reasonably possible 
changes to key assumptions giving rise to a risk of impairment in the Rental and Workshop CGUs.  

The  recoverability  of  the  Pit  N  Portal  CGU  is  sensitive  to  reasonably  possible  changes  in  key 
assumptions.  Specifically, the recoverability of the CGU is dependent on returning to historic levels 
of EBITDA achieved in the years ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022 on a sustained basis and 
in the terminal year.   

In  addition  to  determining  the  recoverable  value  through  the  value-in-use  models,  the  Group 
obtained an external valuation (on a fair value basis) of the plant and equipment held by the Group 
which supported the carrying value of that plant and equipment as at 30 June 2023. 

Assets held for sale 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies  for assets held for sale (refer note 3(j)), 
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 which are dependent on the 
supply of and demand for  the specific categories of equipment being held for sale. 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. 

Recoverability of receivables 
The Group applies judgement in determining recoverability of receivables as described in note 6.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 

2   Basis of preparation (continued) 

(e)   Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 

Recoverability carried forward tax losses 
The Group prepares long-term earnings forecasts to assess the recoverability of its carried forward 
tax  losses.  The  assumptions  used  in  the  long-term  earnings  forecasts  are  described  in  the 
impairment of assets section above. 

Assumed interest rate on zero-interest loan provided to related party 
The non-monetary benefit of the zero-interest loan provided to the Managing Director and Chief 
Executive  Officer  was  determined  by  reference  to  the  Australian  Taxation  Office  benchmark 
interest rate for the FBT year ending 31 March 2024. Refer to note 33 for further information. 

3  Significant accounting policies 

The  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2022 except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 2022. 
The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued 
but is not yet effective. 

(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)  
 i.  

Foreign currency 
Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group 
entities  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency 
at  the  exchange  rate  at  that  date.  The  foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the 
difference  between  amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  period, 
adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign 
currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.  

 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.

Recoverability carried forward tax losses 

The Group prepares long-term earnings forecasts to assess the recoverability of its carried forward 

tax  losses.  The  assumptions  used  in  the  long-term  earnings  forecasts  are  described  in  the 

impairment of assets section above. 

Assumed interest rate on zero-interest loan provided to related party 

The non-monetary benefit of the zero-interest loan provided to the Managing Director and Chief 

Executive  Officer  was  determined  by  reference  to  the  Australian  Taxation  Office  benchmark 

interest rate for the FBT year ending 31 March 2024. Refer to note 33 for further information. 

3  Significant accounting policies 

The  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are 

consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements 

for the year ended 30 June 2022 except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 2022. 

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued 

but is not yet effective. 

(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)  

 i.  

Foreign currency 

Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group 

entities  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities 

denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency 

at  the  exchange  rate  at  that  date.  The  foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the 

difference  between  amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  period, 

adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign 

currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.  

 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.

(c)   AASB 16 Leases  

The Group as lessee 
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The 
Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease 
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a 
lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal 
computers,  small  items  of  office  furniture  and  telephones).  For  these  leases,  the  Group 
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which 
economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not 
paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate 
cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: 
• 

Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives 
receivable; 
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index 
or rate at the commencement date; 
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 
The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the 
options; and 
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of 
an option to terminate the lease. 

• 

• 
• 

• 

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest 
on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to 
reflect the lease payments made. 

The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related 
right-of-use asset) whenever: 
• 

The  lease  term  has  changed  or  there  is  a  significant  event  or  change  in  circumstances 
resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the 
lease  liability  is  remeasured  by  discounting  the  revised  lease  payments  using  a  revised 
discount rate. 
The lease payments change due to changes in an  index or rate or a change in expected 
payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which case the lease liability is remeasured 
by discounting the revised  lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the 
lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised 
discount rate is used). 
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate 
lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified 
lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective 
date of the modification.

The  right-of-use  assets  comprise  the  initial  measurement  of  the  corresponding  lease  liability, 
lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received 
and  any  initial  direct  costs.  They  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses. 

Whenever  the  Group  incurs  an  obligation  for  costs  to  dismantle  and  remove  a  leased  asset, 
restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by 
the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under AASB 137. 
To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related 
right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

(c)   AASB 16 Leases (continued) 

Right-of-use  assets  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  period  of  lease  term  and  useful  life  of  the 
underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-
use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use 
asset  is  depreciated  over  the  useful  life  of  the  underlying  asset.  The  depreciation  starts  at  the 
commencement date of the lease. 

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial 
position. 

The Group applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts 
for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ policy (as 
outlined in the financial report for the annual reporting period). 

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the 
lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in 
the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in 
the line “Other expenses” in profit or loss. 

(d)   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.  

i.  Classification  

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. Derivatives are presented as current assets 
or liabilities to the extent of the cashflows occurring within 12 months after the end of the reporting 
period. 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.

use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use

(d)   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.  

i.  Classification  

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. Derivatives are presented as current assets 

or liabilities to the extent of the cashflows occurring within 12 months after the end of the reporting

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.

ii.  Measurement (continued) 

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. 

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  Fair  Value  through  Other  Comprehensive  Income  (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. 

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 
assets  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 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 in the period in which they are paid from retained earnings. 

Share buy-backs 
Share buy-backs are recognised in the period in which they are paid against share capital.

(e)  Property, plant and equipment 
 i.  Recognition and measurement 

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

Cost includes expenditure  that is directly attributable to the acquisition  of the asset. The cost of 
self-constructed assets includes the following: 
• 
the cost of materials and direct labour; 
•  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to  a  working  condition  for  their 

intended use; 

•  when the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, an estimate of the 
costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; 
and 
capitalised borrowing costs. 

• 

Cost includes transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign 
currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the 
functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. 

When  parts  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  have  different  useful  lives,  they  are 
accounted for as separate items (major equipment 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. 

ii.  Subsequent costs  

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits 
associated  with  the  expenditure  will  flow  to  the  Group.  Expenditure  on  major  overhauls  and 
refurbishments of equipment is capitalised in property, plant and equipment as it is incurred, where 
that  expenditure  is  expected  to  provide  future  economic  benefits.  The  costs  of  the  day-to-day 
servicing of property, plant and equipment and ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as 
incurred, with the exception of contract costs (refer to note 3(o) for further information). 

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 profit or loss and other 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.

Intangible assets 

(f) 
 i.   Research and development 

Expenditure  on  research  activities  is  recognised  in  profit  or  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  or  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 tangible and intangible 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. 

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

iii.  Other intangible assets 

Software  that  is  acquired  and  internally  developed  by  the  Group  and  has  finite  useful  lives  are 
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.  

Intangibles that are acquired by the Group as part of a business combination and have finite useful 
lives are measured at fair value less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment 
losses.  

iv.  Amortisation 

Intangible assets with a finite useful life 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  

1 – 4 years 
1 – 3 years 

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

Inventories 
Inventories consist of equipment and parts and 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. 

(h)   Work in progress   

Progressive  work  to  inventory  and  fixed  assets  are  carried  in  work  in  progress  accounts  within 
inventory  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  being  (disclosed  as  a  ‘capital  work  in  progress’) 
respectively.  Upon work completion the balance is reclassified from capital work in progress to 
the relevant category of asset within property, plant and equipment. 

Impairment  

(i)  
 i.   Non-derivative financial assets 

The expected credit loss model under AASB 9 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 three main segments of Rental, Workshops and Pit 
N Portal in line with the main segments and work undertaken. The debtors in each segment are 
then further classified as follows:

value.  

Inventories consist of equipment and parts and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable 

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. 

(h)   Work in progress   

Progressive  work  to  inventory  and  fixed  assets  are  carried  in  work  in  progress  accounts  within 

inventory  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  being  (disclosed  as  a  ‘capital  work  in  progress’) 

respectively.  Upon work completion the balance is reclassified from capital work in progress to 

the relevant category of asset within property, plant and equipment. 

(i)  

Impairment  

 i.   Non-derivative financial assets 

The expected credit loss model under AASB 9 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 three main segments of Rental, Workshops and Pit 

N Portal in line with the main segments and work undertaken. The debtors in each segment are 

•  Rental  –  blue  chip  customers,  insured  customers,  underinsured  customers  and  uninsured 

then further classified as follows: 

customers. 

•  Workshop  –  blue  chip  customers,  insured  customers,  underinsured  customers,  uninsured 

•  Pit N Portal – blue chip customers, insured customers, underinsured customers, uninsured 

customers, and small retail customers. 

customers, and small retail customers.

Impairment (continued) 

(i)  
 i.   Non-derivative financial assets (continued) 

These categories are defined as: 
•  Blue  chip  customers  –  those  that  are  typically  defined  as  having  a  market  capitalisation  of 
greater than $1 billion. 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. 

• 

•  Underinsured  customers  -  those  that  have  not  been  granted  sufficient  credit  limits  by  the 

insurer to cover sales within credit terms. 

•  Uninsured  customers  –  are  all  other  customers  that  are  not  recognised  in  the  above 

categories.  

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.  Specifically,  the  Group  has  considered  the  macroeconomic  impacts  of  the 
likelihood  of  any  potential  and  significant  decreases  to  commodity  prices  on  its  customers’ 
operations and therefore their potential capacity to repay amounts owing to the Group. 

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

Bad debt policy 
An allowance for expected credit losses 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.

(i)   Non-derivative financial assets (continued) 
 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.  

(j) 

 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  for  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.

(k)   Employee benefits 
 i. 

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

 ii.   Other long-term employee benefits 

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

 iii.   Termination benefits 

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

 iv.  Short-term benefits 

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

 v.   Share-based payment transactions  

Under  the  Emeco  long-term  incentive  plans  (LTI)  and  the  legacy  management  incentive  plan 
(MIP), certain executives have been granted rights (Rights) to receive fully paid ordinary shares 
(Shares) in the Company, the award and vesting of which is subject to varying performance and 
or service conditions. There is no entitlement to dividends (or shadow dividends) on Rights. 

Under  the  LTI  plans,  Rights  are  issued  based  on  the  performance  of  the  executive  and  the 
Company over a three-year period, with  one-third of the maximum LTI entitlement being tested 
each year. Issued Rights vest at the end of the three-year performance period. If Emeco terminates 
the  executive’s  employment  for  misconduct  or  other  breach  of  the  executive’s  employment 
contract,  the  Board  may  lapse  some  or  all  of  the  Rights  issued  to  the  executive.  Rights  issued 
under the LTI will otherwise vest. The fair value of Rights issued are measured using the Black 
Scholes  pricing  model.  The  grant  date  in  respect  of  the  LTI  Plans,  for  all  eligible  employees 
excluding the Managing Director (“MD”), was the day the plan was approved by the Board.  Any 
issue of awards to the MD under the LTI plans are subject to shareholder approval. The fair value 
of rights granted are expensed over the three-year period from grant date to vesting date based 
on the maximum LTI available in each year.  At the completion of the annual testing, when the final 
number of rights are approved with respect to the specific financial year, the expense is adjusted 
in  the  year  of  approval  to  align  with  the  actual  Rights  approved  which  may  be  less  than  the 
maximum Rights available for that financial year.  With respect to the MD and upon approval by 
the  shareholders  the  fair  value  of  the  rights  will  be  remeasured  at  the  date  of  the  shareholder 
meeting (being grant date) at which point they will be treated consistently to the other employees. 
If the reward to the MD by shareholders is not approved, the previously recognised expense will 
be reversed.

On 3 August 2023, the Group announced material changes to the terms of employment of the MD, 
whereby LTI plans in respect of FY24 to FY27 (inclusive) will have a one-year performance period. 
All equity awards granted will vest on the earlier of release of the Group’s FY27 full-year results 
and the end of the MD’s employment. All awards will be in equity. Where Shareholder approval for 
an award is not obtained, the award will be paid in cash. 

Under the MIP, Rights granted to participants are subject to service conditions. These have various 
vesting dates ranging up to 5 years. The fair values of these Rights are based on Volume Weighted 
Average Price (“VWAP”) and are expensed evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date.  

In the event of death, total and permanent disability, retrenchment or retirement of the participant, 
Rights granted under the MIP may vest on an accelerated basis. Rights granted under the MIP will 
lapse if the executive ceases employment for any other reason.  

(l) 

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. 

(m)  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. 

(n)   Revenue 

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

i.  Rental revenue 

Revenue from the rental of both open cut and underground equipment is recognised in profit  or 
loss over time 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.  

ii.  Goods sold 

Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value 
of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and 
volume rebates. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when 
the products are delivered and accepted by the customers’. The Group’s obligation to repair or 
replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.   

iii.  Maintenance services 

Maintenance services relates to the provision of both major component and full equipment rebuilds 
for both internal and external customers and the provision of mobile workshops and infrastructure 
to support both Emeco and external customers’ equipment fleets. Revenue from services rendered 
is recognised in profit or loss over time in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction 
at the reporting date, and customers are billed monthly. The Group’s obligation to repair or make-
good faulty works under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

iv.  Mining services 

Mining  services  relate  to  the  provision  of  equipment,  equipment  operator,  technology  and 
engineering  solutions  and  the  provision  and  maintenance  of  onsite  infrastructure  (electrical, 
ventilation, pumping, lighting services and special purpose vehicles). Mining services revenue is 
recognised  over  time  on  the  basis  of  the  work  completed  and  billed  to  the  customer  as  the 
customer receives the benefit. Customer contracts are generally based on schedule of rates or a 
cost-plus basis.  

Certain contracts with customers include a variable element which is subject to the group meeting 
either  certain  cost  targets  or  material  movement  Key  Performance  Indicators  (“KPIs”).  Variable 
consideration is recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not 
occur in a subsequent period. 

(o)   Contract costs 

Costs incurred to prepare assets for work on a specific contract (or specific anticipated contract) 
that can be separately identified, such as freight of earthmoving equipment to customer sites and 
modifying assets to  meet customer specifications, are recognised as a contract  cost 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: 
•  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 

•  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: 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

 direct labour;  
 direct materials; 
 allocations of costs that relate directly to the contract or to contract activities;  
 costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract; and  
 other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the contract. 

Amortisation and impairment 
An asset recognised is 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.

The Group’s finance income and finance costs include: 
• 
interest income; 
• 
interest expense; 
•  dividend income; 
•  discount on repurchased debt; 
• 
• 
•  withholding tax;  
•  amortisation of the loan receivable from related party (refer to note 33 for further information) 
•  amortisation of borrowing costs capitalised using the effective interest method; and 
• 

the net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; 
the foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and liabilities; 

fees on supply chain financing facilities. 

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

(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.

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 

purposes.  

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 

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. 

(q)  

Income tax (continued) 
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 and increased to 
the extent unrecognised tax losses are now considered probable. 

(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 of the tax consolidated group 
is Emeco Holdings Limited. 

(iv)  Tax consolidation 

Amounts  payable  or  receivable  under  the  tax-funding  arrangement  between  the  Company 
and the entities in the tax consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer within 
group’  approach  to  determine  the  tax  contribution  amounts  payable  or  receivable  by  each 
member of the tax-consolidated group. This approach results in the tax effect of transactions 
being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred and does not tax effect 
transactions that have no tax consequences to the  Group. The same basis is used for tax 
allocation within the tax-consolidated group.  

The  Company  has  not  adopted  the  AASB  112  amendments  related  to  the  Organisation  for 
Economic  Co-operation  and  Development  Pillar  two  tax  reforms  and  has  not  performed  an 
assessment of its potential exposure to the profit or loss and tax liability, which will be performed 
for the half-year ending 31 December 2023. 

(r)   Segment reporting 

Segment results that are reported to the board of directors include items directly attributable to a 
segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise 
mainly cash, interest bearing liabilities and finance expense.  

4  New standards and interpretations 

The  new  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  which  are  mandatory  and  have  been 
adopted by the Group are set out below:  

(i)  AASB  2020-3  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Annual  improvements 

2018-2020 and other amendments 

The annual improvements amend the following standards: 

•  AASB 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards permits a subsidiary that 
applies  paragraph  D16(a)  of  AASB  1  to  measure  cumulative  translation  differences  using  the 
amounts  reported  by  its  parent,  based  on  the  parent’s  date  of  transition  to  IFRS  Accounting 
Standards.   

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments clarifies that in applying the ‘10 per cent’ test to assess whether to 
derecognise a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the 
borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the 
other’s behalf.

4  New standards and interpretations (continued) 

Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use  
The amendments to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit deducting from the cost of an 
item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  any  proceeds  from  selling  items  produced  while  bringing  that 
asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended 
by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, 
is recognised in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify the meaning of ‘testing whether an asset is 
functioning  properly’.  AASB  116  now  specifies  this  as  assessing  whether  the  technical  and  physical 
performance of the asset is such that it is capable of being used in the production or supply of goods or 
services,  for  rental  to  others  or  for  administrative  purposes.  The  amendments  have  been  applied 
retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and 
condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management or on 
or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first 
applies the amendments. 

Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract  
The amendments to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify that the 
‘cost of fulfilling’ an onerous contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that 
relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (e.g. direct labour 
and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (e.g. the allocation 
of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).  

(ii)  AASB  2021-7  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  effective  date  of 

amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and editorial corrections 

The editorial corrections in AASB 2021-7 are effective for either annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2023 (those in respect of AASB 17 Insurance Contracts) or 1 January 2022.  

The  application  of  all  amendments  mentioned  above  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Group's 
consolidated  financial  statements,  as  the  amendments  either  do  not  affect  the  Group’s  existing 
accounting policies, or does not apply to situations, transactions and events that the Group undertakes.

5  Determination of fair values 

Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use  

The amendments to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit deducting from the cost of an 

item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  any  proceeds  from  selling  items  produced  while  bringing  that 

asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended 

by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, 

is recognised in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify the meaning of ‘testing whether an asset is 

functioning  properly’.  AASB  116  now  specifies  this  as  assessing  whether  the  technical  and  physical 

performance of the asset is such that it is capable of being used in the production or supply of goods or 

services,  for  rental  to  others  or  for  administrative  purposes.  The  amendments  have  been  applied 

retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and 

condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management or on 

or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first 

applies the amendments. 

Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract  

The amendments to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify that the 

‘cost of fulfilling’ an onerous contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that 

relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (e.g. direct labour 

and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (e.g. the allocation 

of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).  

(ii)  AASB  2021-7  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  effective  date  of 

amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and editorial corrections 

The editorial corrections in AASB 2021-7 are effective for either annual periods beginning on or after 1 

January 2023 (those in respect of AASB 17 Insurance Contracts) or 1 January 2022.  

The  application  of  all  amendments  mentioned  above  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Group's 

consolidated  financial  statements,  as  the  amendments  either  do  not  affect  the  Group’s  existing 

accounting policies, or does not apply to situations, transactions and events that the Group undertakes.  

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, 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)  Other financial assets 

Other  financial  assets  are  recognised  at  amortised  cost  and  subsequently  measured  using  the 
effective interest rate method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in 
profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group’s other financial 
assets at amortised cost include a loan to related party. Refer to note 33 for further information. 

(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 leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference 
to similar lease agreements. 

(e)  Share-based payment transactions 

The fair value of the Rights awarded under the LTI plan and MIP are measured using the volume 
weighted average price of Shares as at the grant date. The volume weighted average price inputs 
include the weighted average of the closing share price and volume traded over a specified period 
of time. 

(f) 

Equity and debt securities 
The fair value of equity and debt securities is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid 
price  at  the  reporting  date,  or  if  unquoted  determined  using  a  valuation  technique.  Valuation 
techniques employed include market multiples and discounted cash flow analysis using expected 
future cash flows and a market related discount rate. The fair value of held to maturity investments 
is determined for disclosure purposes only.  

(g)  Assets held for sale 

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

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 counterparty limits and where possible insures 
its income within Australia and generally operates on a ‘cash for keys’ policy for the sale of equipment 
and parts. The Group has also increased its internal review and authorisation procedures that are applied 
to new clients and in the ongoing strengthening of appropriate credit limits for existing customers. 

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 
will be requested. 

Where commercially available, the Group aims to insure the majority of 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  $1,000,000,000 
(2022: $750,000,000).  The Group held insurance for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2023.

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 categorised its trade receivables as follows:

- 

Insured customers: those that are trading within terms and their trade receivable exposure is under 
the insured limit;  

-  Underinsured: those that have not been granted sufficient credit limits by the insurer to cover sales 

within credit terms; 

-  Uninsured customers: all other customers that are not recognised in the above category.

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

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.

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 the Groups’ customers run their operations or achieve profitability and cash 
flows to pay their receivables. As part of this assessment, the Group has considered the potential impact 
of commodity demand and prices.   

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, Matilda in July 2018, and Pit N Portal in February 2020, 
the Group has determined it is not appropriate to include a rental customer history earlier than FY19. 
Therefore, only loss history from FY19 is used for this assessment.  

Based on the factors outlined above, the Group has calculated an expected credit loss of $190,000 based 
on  historical  loss  trends  and  economic  factors  (2022:  $189,000).  During  the  period,  allowances  for 
specific  customers  were  identified  as  doubtful  and  subsequently  written  off  by  the  Group  totalling 
$23,013,000 (2022: nil).   

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

Opening loss allowance as at 1 July 
Net remeasurement of loss allowance 
Loss allowance on receivables arising during the period 
Loss allowance on receivables recovered/written off during the period 

Loss allowance as at 30 June

The  Group  believes  that  the  unimpaired  amounts  that  are  past  due  by  more  than  30  days  are  still 
collectible,  based  on  industry  standards,  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. 
An  allowance  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 $46,673,000 at 30 June 2023 (2022: $60,158,000), 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 2023 the Group held 
nil bank guarantees (2022: nil) and $400,000 of advance payments from customers (2022: nil).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk (continued) 

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 
29. At 30 June 2023, $3,509,000 guarantees were outstanding (2022: $3,121,000). 

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  returns  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.  

Notes 
The Group has issued secured fixed interest notes to the value of $250,000,000 which mature on 10 July 
2026. The nominal fixed interest rate is 6.25%. Refer to note 24 for further details.  

Revolving Credit Facility 
The Group has a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) facility of $100,000,000, which matures in December 
2025, which has two sub facilities consisting of a Loan Note Agreement Facility (LNA) of $95,000,000 
(30 June 2022: $96,800,000) and a Bank Guarantee Facility of $5,000,000 (30 June 2022: $3,200,000). 
In December 2022, the Group successfully refinanced the facility with existing lenders in the syndicate, 
with the tenor of the facility being three years, with an option to extend for a further two years to December 
2027 at the Group’s election. 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  2.75%  and  3.75%  dependent  on  the  portion  of  the  facility  utilised  and  credit  agency  ratings 
(2.75% if less than 25% drawn and credit agency ratings of Ba2/BB or higher; 3.75% if greater than or 
equal to 25% drawn and credit agency ratings lower than B1/B+).  

The  facilities  require  the  Group  to  maintain  a  collateral  coverage  ratio  greater  than  2.0x  and  a  fixed 
charge coverage ratio greater than 1.5x. At 30 June 2023, the Group had no drawn amount of the LNA 
and had utilised $3,509,000 of the bank guarantee facility.  

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

To manage the cash flow conversion cycle on goods and services procured by the Group, and to ensure 
that  suppliers  receive  payment  in  a  timely  manner,  the  Group  offers  some  suppliers  supply  chain 
financing. The Group’s supply chain financing facilities totalled $25,500,000 as at 30 June 2023 (2022: 
$25,500,000). Refer to note 23 for further information. 

The Group has lease facilities totalling $70,721,000 (2022: $54,648,000) which have various maturities 
up to June 2033.

Market risk (continued) 

To  comply  with  the  provisions  of  AASB  13  Fair  Value  Measurement,  the  Group  incorporates  credit 
valuation  adjustments  to  appropriately  reflect  both  its  own  non-performance  risk  and  the  respective 
counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.  

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 average invested capital, which is defined as the average over 
the period of equity, plus interest bearing liabilities, less cash and intangibles. The Group’s ROC for the 
year was 9.6% (2022: 14.9%).  

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

timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Group’s fleet is 
commodity agnostic i.e. the fleet can be used across a range of different commodities without significant 
modification, and decision making relating to the sale of goods and services is driven by the economic 
factors affecting each business unit. For further information regarding revenue earned by business unit, 
refer to note 15.

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

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. 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 
(e) 

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  $2,780,000  (2022:  $2,821,000).  In 
accordance with the tax consolidation legislation, the Company as the head entity in the Australian tax 
consolidated group has also assumed the benefit of $72,268,000 (2022: $77,870,000) franking credits. 

14  Disposal groups and assets held for sale 

During  the  year  $3,062,000  (FY22:  $5,576,000)  of  assets  were  transferred  from  property,  plant  and 
equipment into assets held for sale. Assets previously classified during the period as held for sale were 
further  impaired by  $983,000 (FY22:  $1,036,000) to  their fair value less cost to  sell  based on market 
prices of similar equipment. 

As at 30 June 2023, assets held for sale comprised of $1,165,000 (2022: $4,094,000).  Level 3 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.

15  Segment reporting 

The  Group  has  three  (2022:  three)  reportable  segments,  as  described  below,  which  are  the  Group’s 
strategic  business  units.    The  strategic  business  units  offer  different  products  and  services,  and  are 
managed separately because they require different operational strategies for each geographic region.  
For each of the strategic business units, the  Managing Director and board of directors review internal 
management reports on a monthly basis.  The following summary describes the operations in each of 
the Group’s reportable segments: 

Rental 

Workshops 

Pit N Portal 

Provides a wide range of earthmoving equipment solutions to customers in 
Australia.  Additional  technology  platforms  have  been  developed  to  enable 
customers to improve earthmoving efficiencies of their rental machines. 

Provides  maintenance  and  component  rebuild  services  to  customers  in 
Australia. 

Provides  a  range  of  mining  services  solutions  and  associated  services  to 
customers in Australia. 

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. 

Major customers 
For the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group had three (2022: one) major customers comprising 10% or 
more of total Group revenue across the segments as indicated below:

18  Trade and other receivables (continued) 

The movement in the allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) in respect of trade receivables and 
accrued revenue during the period was as follows: 

Opening loss allowance 
Collective ECL recognised during the period(1) 
Loss allowance on trade receivables arising during the period(2)

(1)  The collective ECL is calculated using a combination of historical losses and economic conditions 
that are representative of those expected to exist during the life of the receivable. This is based on 
historical  loss  rates,  ageing  of  debtors  and  economic  factors  that  include  commodity  prices.  The 
Group  considers  blue  chip  and  insured  customers  as  no  risk,  and  only  assesses  uninsured  and 
underinsured customers that have breached their trading terms in the ECL calculation. The Group 
also reviews specific customer receivables deemed a higher recoverability risk (see below). Refer to 
note 6 for further information. 

(2)  Loss allowance arising during the period is the GST exclusive amount, which is now fully written off 

(refer to note 3 below). The amount including GST is $25,314,000. 

(3)  Losses  on  trade  receivables  written  off  during  the  year  relate  to  Pit  N  Portal  customers.  A  loss 
allowance  of  $22,965,000  was  made  at  31  December  2022  against  amounts  owing  in  relation  to 
Minjar/Barto.  Subsequent  to  31  December  2022,  a  total  of  $10,909,000  was  received  from 
Minjar/Barto with the balance of $12,056,000 written off. Additional amounts written off during the 
year included $9,638,000 for Aurora Metals following its placement into receivership and $1,273,000 
for KMG following termination of this contract.

Contract intangible and goodwill 

Goodwill  of  $8,005,000  was  recognised  on  the  acquisition  of  Matilda  Equipment  Holdings  Pty  Ltd 
(Matilda) in FY19 and represents the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair 
value  of  the  identifiable  assets  and  liabilities  acquired.  The  goodwill  is  recognised  in  the  Australian 
Rental operating segment.   

On the  acquisition of Pit  N Portal on 28 February  2020,  a customer intangible  was recognised. This 
represented the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair value of the identifiable 
assets and liabilities acquired. The customer intangible is being amortised over the determined life of 
the intangible. Also included in this balance are contract intangibles acquired relating to the acquisition 
of Borex Pty Ltd in FY22. 

Software 
Software has been acquired and developed internally by the business for asset management, monitoring 
and planning purposes. Software is amortised over 1 to 4 years. 

Amortisation and impairment of intangible assets 
The amortisation charge and impairment of intangible assets are recognised in the following line item in

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 notes issued. Refer 
to note 24 for further details. 

Impairment tests for cash generating units 
The Group conducts impairment testing annually at 30 June each year and when impairment indicators 
exist. At 30 June 2023, detailed impairment testing was undertaken for the Australian Rental CGU and 
the Pit N Portal CGU and testing carried out for the Workshops CGU, with no impairment being identified. 
Additionally,  carrying  value  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  was  supported  by  an  independent  fair 
market valuation. Refer to note 2(e) “Estimates and judgements” for detailed consideration of this matter. 
During the period, assets classified as held for sale were impaired by $983,000 (FY22: $1,036,000) to 
their fair value less cost to sell based on market prices of similar equipment.

The  Group’s  exposure  to  currency  and  liquidity  risk  associated  with  trade  and  other  payables  is 
disclosed in note 6. 

Trade and other payables are stated at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to 
the Group prior to the end of the financial year, which are unpaid at the reporting date. 

To manage the cash flow conversion cycle on some goods and services procured by the Group, and to 
ensure that suppliers receive payment in a timely manner, the Group offers some suppliers supply chain 
financing.  At  30  June  2023,  the  balance  of  the  supply  chain  finance  programmes  was  $25,517,000 
(2022: $24,736,000). The supply chain financing programmes attract fees in the range of 1.15% - 2.04% 
of the transaction value, and are repaid on 60-day terms. The Group evaluates supplier arrangements 
against a number of indicators to assess if the payable continues to have the same characteristics of a 
trade  payable  or  should  be  classified  as  borrowings.  These  indicators  include  whether  the  payment 
terms exceed customary payment terms in the industry, the extent to which the rights and obligations (if 
any) under the contractual relationships attached to the original liability have been modified, and whether 
there are any additional credit enhancements arising from the supply chain financing arrangements. At 
30 June 2023, the Group has concluded the payables subject to supply chain financing arrangements 
did not meet all of the characteristics to be classified as borrowings and accordingly the balances remain 
in trade and other payables. 

The Company has also entered into a deed of cross guarantee with certain subsidiaries as described in 
note 37. Under the terms of the deed, the Company has guaranteed the repayment of all current and 
future  creditors  in  the  event  any  of  the  entities  party  to  the  deed  are  wound  up.    Details  of  the 
consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries party to the deed are set out in note 37.

(1)  A current financial liability of $1,217,000 (2022: nil) and non-current financial liability of $3,042,000 

(2022: nil) was recognised, relating to the sale and leaseback of equipment. 

(2)  Carried  at  amortised  cost.  The  movement  from  prior  year  is  due  to  amortisation  recorded  in  the 

Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year. 

Revolving Credit Facility 
The Group has a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of $100,000,000 which matures in  December 2025 
and has two sub facilities consisting of a Loan Note Agreement Facility (LNA) of $95,000,000 (2022: 
$96,800,000) and a Bank Guarantee Facility of $5,000,000 (2022: $3,200,000). In December 2022, the 
Group successfully refinanced the facility with existing lenders in the syndicate, with the tenor of the 
facility  being  three  years,  with  an  option  to  extend  for  a  further  two  years  to  December  2027  at  the 
Group’s election. 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 
2.75% and 3.75% dependent on the portion of the facility utilised and credit agency ratings (2.75% if 
less than 25% drawn and credit agency ratings of Ba2/BB or higher; 3.75% if greater than or equal to 
25% drawn and credit agency ratings lower than B1/B+).  

The  facilities  require  the  Group  to  maintain  a  collateral  coverage  ratio  greater  than  2.0x  and  a  fixed 
charge  coverage  ratio  greater  than  1.5x.  The  collateral  coverage  ratio  is  based  on  an  independent 
valuation of the rental fleet in ratio to the drawn LNA. At 30 June 2023, the LNA was undrawn (2022: 
nil). 

Secured notes issue 
On 2 July 2021, the Company successfully completed the issuance of $250,000,000 notes in the AMTN 
market  (AUD  Notes).  The  notes  have  a  fixed  coupon  of  6.25%,  payable  semi-annually,  and  have  a 
maturity  date  of  10  July  2026.  The  funds  received  from  this  debt  raising  were  used  to  repay  the 
outstanding US$180,007,000 March 2024 notes, call premium and to close out all hedging associated 
with those notes on 2 July 2021, resulting in cash out flows of $11,191,000 for early repayment of the 
Note,  debt  financing  payments  of  $5,566,000  and  a  mark-to-market  payment  on  hedge  close-out  of 
$5,314,000. These cash out flows were recorded in financing activities for the year ended 30 June 2022, 
with  the  profit  or  loss  impact  predominantly  recorded  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The fair value of Rights granted during the year are measured using the Black Scholes model resulting 
in a fair value of $0.65 (FY22: $0.94). The Black Scholes model requires inputs including the risk-free 
rate, volatility and dividend yield. For Rights granted during the year, the risk-free rate was determined 
by reference to the Reserve Bank  of  Australia’s 3-year government bond rate.  Volatility was  derived 
from historical share price movements over a period similar to the life of the Rights granted, and dividend 
yield is reflective of the Company’s share price at year end and historical dividends paid. Please refer 
to note 3(k)v. for further information.

The weighted average share price for Rights exercised during the year was $0.77 (FY22: $1.09).

The following applies to Rights:
-
-

there is no entitlement to dividends or shadow dividends on unvested rights; and
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 will vest.

Remuneration of key management personnel by the Group
The  compensation  disclosed  above  represents  an  allocation  of  the  key  management  personnel’s 
compensation from the Group in relation to their services rendered to the Company.

Individual directors and executives compensation disclosures
Information regarding individual directors’ and executives’ compensation and some equity instruments 
disclosures  as  required  by  Corporations  Regulations  2M.3.03  and  2M.6.04  are  provided  in  the 
remuneration report section of the directors’ report on pages 26 to 43.

Apart from the details disclosed in this note, no director has entered into a material contract with the 
Company or the Group since the end of the previous financial year and there were no material contracts 
involving directors’ interests existing at year end.

Equity Instruments

Rights  over  equity  instruments  granted  as  compensation  under  management  incentive  plan 
(MIP)
The Company has a management incentive plan in which rights to shares have been granted to certain 
employees of the Company. Rights awarded under the MIP will vest at the end of the applicable vesting 
period, subject to the employee remaining employed by the Company. Rights that do not vest will lapse.

Rights over equity instruments granted as compensation under long-term incentive plan (LTI)
The  Company  has a retention  incentive  plan  that  rewards  executives  for  their  contribution  to the
achievement of certain KPIs over a three-year period. KPIs are reviewed annually, but achievement is 
assessed over a three-year period with one-third of the maximum entitlement being tested each year. 
Assessing achievements annually also ensures that executives are rewarded for their performance in 
each  year  over  the  three-year  period.  By  assessing  outcomes  in  this  manner,  consistent  high 
performance over each year within the three-year performance period is required in order to achieve 
maximum award. Awards under the LTI plan are made in the form of Rights.

Other key management personnel transactions
Key management persons, or their related parties, hold positions in other entities that may result in them 
having  control  or  significant  influence  over  the  financial  or  operating  policies  of  those  entities.  There 
were no transactions, other than as disclosed in note 33, between the Group and these related entities 
during the year (FY22: nil).

Loan issued to related party 
At the Company’s AGM on 17 November 2022, the provision of a zero-interest loan by a subsidiary of 
the  Company  to  Mr  Ian  Testrow  (Managing  Director  and  Chief  Executive  Officer)  was  approved  by 
Shareholders. The principal amount of the loan of $4,948,640.55 was drawn on 17 February 2023.  

An amount of $166,868 was reimbursed to Mr Ian Testrow for interest expense incurred on a personal 
loan drawn with a third party Australian financial institution. The estimated FBT liability associated with 
the interest expense reimbursement provided to Mr Ian Testrow is $147,978, resulting in a total cost of 
interest reimbursement of $314,846.  

A non-monetary deferred employee benefits expense of $115,103 has been recognised in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss or Other Comprehensive Income, reflecting the zero-interest component of the loan 
provided to Mr Ian Testrow. The estimated FBT liability associated with the zero-interest component of 
the unsecured loan provided to Mr Ian Testrow is $102,073, resulting in a total zero-interest loan benefit 
of $217,176. The non-monetary benefit and FBT liability has been determined using an assumed interest 
rate of 7.77%, based on the Australian Taxation Office benchmark interest rate for the FBT year ending 
31 March 2024.  

The total cost of the  interest expense reimbursement and zero-interest component  of the  unsecured 
loan provided to Mr Ian Testrow for the year ended 30 June 2023, inclusive of estimated FBT is $532,022 
(2022: nil). 

A deferred employee benefits expense of $262,000 is recorded in other receivables (refer to note 18), 
reflecting the expected employee benefits expense to be recognised over the next 12 months for the 
zero-interest  loan  provided  to  Mr  Ian  Testrow,  while  the  remaining  loan  receivable  of  $4,677,000  is 
recorded as an “other financial asset” on the Statement of Financial Position.  

On 3 August 2023, the Group announced material changes to Mr Ian Testrow’s terms of employment, 
resulting  in  the  loan  attracting  an  interest  rate  of  12%  per  annum,  only  in  the  event  Mr  Ian  Testrow 
resigns and his employment ends before 30 June 2027 (calculated from the date the loan was drawn 
until  repayment  date).  The  loan  is  also  repayable  on  the  date  Mr  Ian  Testrow’s  employment  ends 
(previously three months after employment ends). 

The  loan  was  drawn  to  fund  tax  liabilities  arising  from  the  vesting  of  Management  Incentive  Plan 
(“MIP17”) Shares granted in March 2017. The intention of the zero-interest loan is to incentivise Mr Ian 
Testrow to retain his equity investment in the Company. 

Subsidiaries 
Loans  are  made  between  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  of  the  Group  for  corporate  purposes.    Loans 
outstanding  between  the  different  wholly  owned  entities  of  the  Company  have  no  fixed  date  of 
repayment.  Loans made between subsidiaries within a common taxable jurisdiction are interest free.   

Ultimate parent entity 
Emeco Holdings Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the Group. 

34  Subsequent events 

On 22 August 2023, the board resolved to pay a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2023 of 1.25 
cents per share, representing a total cash payment of $6.5 million. The dividend will be fully franked and 
will be paid on 29 September 2023. 

On 22 August 2023, the Company announced its intention to undertake an on-market share buy-back 
of up to $7.3 million. The Company reserves the right to vary, suspend or terminate the buy-back at any 
time.

On  3  August  2023,  the  Group  announced  material  changes  to  the  Managing  Director  &  CEO’s  (Mr

terms of employment include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

(this is a permanent change to Mr Testrow’s terms of employment).
Participation in a short-term and long-term incentive scheme of 250% of TFR (this is a permanent
change to Mr Testrow’s terms of employment).
Increased participation in the short-term incentive (“STI”) plan from 80% to 130% of TFR for the
variation period. A portion of the STI may be payable in equity (subject to approval of Shareholders)
unless Mr Testrow elects to take the whole of any STI award as cash. All STI equity awards will vest
on 30 June 2027, and any STI equity awards which are not approved by Shareholders will be paid
in cash.
Long-term  incentive  (“LTI”)  plans  in  respect  of  FY24  to  FY27  (inclusive)  will  have  a  one-year
performance period. All equity awards granted will vest on the earlier of release of the Group’s FY27
results and the end of Mr Testrow’s employment. All awards will be in equity, and where shareholder
approval for an award is not obtained, the award will be paid in cash.
If Mr Testrow resigns and his employment ends before 30 June 2027, the loan issued to Mr Testrow
(refer to note 33 for further information) will attract an interest rate of 12% per annum (calculated
from the date the loan was drawn until repayment date). The loan was previously interest-free in all
circumstances. The loan is also repayable on the date Mr Testrow’s employment ends (previously
three months after employment ends). Mr Testrow receives equity incentives tested and awarded
prior to the date his employment ends, however forfeits equity incentives in respect of years’ partly
or not yet worked. Post-employment restraints apply until 30 June 2027.
In a change of control event, or if Mr Testrow’s employment ends due to total or permanent disability
or death, Mr Testrow will receive unpaid fixed remuneration up to 30 June 2027 and the maximum
equity  incentives  available  under  the  LTI  plans  which  have  not  yet  been  tested  or  awarded  (in
addition to equity incentives tested and awarded).

Other than the  above, there have been  no significant events subsequent to the  year ended 30 June 
2023.

of  any  debt  in  the  event  of  winding  up  of  any  of  the  subsidiaries  under  certain  provisions  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001.  If a winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only

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 2023, 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 material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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

 Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year

then ended; and
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  &  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110 Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.

As disclosed in notes 20 and 21, the carrying value of
goodwill as at 30 June 2022 was $8.0 million (June
2022: $8.0 million), and the carrying value of property,
plant and equipment was $752.6 million (June 2022:
$703.7 million).

Management undertakes impairment testing to assess
the recoverability of non-current assets including,
goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant &
equipment annually, or whenever a trigger is identified.

Our focus was as a result of the market capitalisation of
the Group falling below the carrying value of net assets
during the year in addition to the loss recorded by the
Pit N Portal cash generating unit (‘CGU’).

The assessment of the recoverable value requires
judgement in respect of assumptions and estimates in
preparing a value in use model (‘VIU’).  Significant
judgements include but are not limited to:

•

•
•
•

forecast revenue, operating costs and the
resulting forecast EBITDA;
sustaining capital forecasts;
terminal growth rate; and
discount rate.

In addition, and in relation to Pit n Portal the key
judgement underpinning the assessment of the
recoverability of the carrying value of that CGU related
to the ability of the Company to return that CGU to a
sustainable level of EBITDA in line with historic periods
(excluding the current year).

RReeccoovveerraabbiilliittyy  ooff  ttrraaddee  rreecceeiivvaabblleess  aanndd  aaccccrruueedd
rreevveennuuee

In conjunction with our valuation specialists, our procedures
included, but were not limited to assessing:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

impairment risk indicators using internal and external
information;

management’s historical budgeting accuracy for each
individual cash generating unit (CGU);

budgets and forecasts for reasonableness compared to
historical actual performance;

the mathematical accuracy of management’s value-in-use
models;

the appropriateness of the discount rate applied;

the risk of impairment by performing independent
breakeven analysis on management’s value-in-use models
for a range of changes in the key assumptions based on
parameters determined in conjunction with our valuation
specialists; and

assessing whether a reasonably possible change in key
assumptions would result in an impairment.

In addition, we specifically assessed the Company’s ability to
return the Pit N Portal CGU to historic levels of EBITDA through
review of historic performance, the make up of current
contracts and the tender pipeline for additional contracts.

We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in note 2(e),
to the financial statements.

As disclosed in notes 6 and 18, the Company has
written off $23.0 million of trade receivables during the
period (June 2022: nil) with an allowance for expected
credit losses at 30 June 2023 of $190k (June 2022:
$189k).

Management determine an expected credit loss based
on the policy disclosed in notes 3(d)(iii), 3(i)i and the
assumptions disclosed in note 6 including any specific
allowances and/or write offs required.

Our focus was on whether it was appropriate to write
off the amounts during the period and the
recoverability of trade receivables and accrued revenue
remaining at 30 June 2023 including the sufficiency of
the allowance for expected credit losses.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

obtaining and assessing the trade receivables and accrued
revenue reconciliations and supporting listings;

inquiring with management in relation to aged debtors or
accrued balances and any known delays or concerns
relating to recoverability of amounts from customers;

performing subsequent receipts testing on a sample of
trade receivables;

corroborating the status of recoverability by reviewing
supporting agreements with customers;

obtaining and assessing management’s Expected Credit
Loss allowance calculation and assessing the calculation in
line with the requirements of AASB 9 Financial
Instruments, including sample testing the ageing of

receivables and the amount of insurance in place for
certain customers;

•

challenging management’s position as to the
recoverability and sufficiency of the allowance for
expected credit losses by

•

•

assessing a sample of current credit ratings of
customers; and

assessing past payment history for selected
receivables.

We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in note 6 and
18 to the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors  are  responsible  for the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises the  information  included  in the
Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, 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 fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.

118

 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’s 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

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.
