LETTER

founder, 
Wes  Maas,  our  entrepreneurial 
continues  to  lead  the  Group  admirably.  Wes 
is  supported  by  an  experienced,  stable,  and 
passionate management team. The team are 
committed  to  maintaining  the  Company’s

and  an  increase  in  net  profit  after  tax  of  6%

The  integration  of  Dandy  Premix,  Austek, 
and Schwarz Excavations into the Group has 
enabled the Company to expand its operating 
footprint  and  offering,  enhance  its  vertical

platform for long-term growth.

The  Company’s  strong  pipeline  of  work 
and  the  significant  investments  made  in 
the  Construction  Materials  and  Property 
segments,  have  the  Company  well  placed 
to  again  deliver  earnings  growth  for  FY24 
and  beyond.  This,  together  with  our  capital

I  want  to  thank  my  fellow  Directors  for  their 
support,  effort,  and  commitment  this  year.  I 
also  take  this  opportunity  to  acknowledge 
the  retirement  of  Stewart  Butel.  Stewart  has 
made  an  outstanding  contribution  to  the 
Maas Group board over the past three years. 
Stewart  retires  with  our  sincere  thanks  and 
best wishes. 

I  would  also  like  to  congratulate  and  thank 
Wes  and  the  executive  team  for  their  hard 
work and dedication in delivering a successful 
financial  result  and  providing  a  strong 
platform for continued growth. The efforts of 
all Company staff, who are our greatest asset 
and have been integral to our successful year, 
are also acknowledged and appreciated.  

Finally,  thank  you  to  our  shareholders, many 
of whom have been on the journey with Maas 
since the IPO. While there has been enormous 
progress since 2002, being founded by Wes in 
Dubbo  with  a  single  bobcat,  I  am  conscious 
there  is  still  more  to  be  done.  I  look  forward 
to  continuing  to  build  a  great  Australian 
business  with  you.  Thank  you  for  your 
continued support.

two 
significant

geographical  footprint  and  product  offering 
in Victoria and Queensland. Both acquisitions 
represent  greater  opportunity  for  long-term 
growth  as  well  as  leverage  from  our  other 
areas of the business. 

CEO  
REPORT

Maas’  culture  is  defined  by  commitment 
and  care  for  the  outcomes  of  our  business 
at  every  level  of  the  organisation  and  our 
reputation  for  doing  what  we  say  we  will 
do.  This  is  again  demonstrated  in  our  FY23 
performance.  Despite  the  challenges  faced 
by  many  businesses  in  the  past  year,  Maas 
has achieved yet another year of growth. Our 
net  profit  after  tax  reached  $65.5M,  marking 
a 6% increase compared to the previous year. 
This  progress  stems  from  a  combination 
of  our  strong  pipeline  of  work  and  strategic 
acquisitions  in  key  segments,  including  Civil 
Construction  and  Hire  and  Construction 
Materials.

These  results  are  a  testament  to  the 
exceptional  team  we  have  built  and  the 
unwavering  dedication  of  everyone  across 
our  organisation.  We  remain  committed

to delivering value to both our customers and 
our communities, and I am extremely proud 
of  the  efforts  and  resilience  the  Group  has 
exhibited this year. 

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND  
CAPITAL INVESTMENT 

In  FY23,  the  business  achieved  proforma 
EBITDA  of  $163.1M.  This  result  represents  a 
growth of 30% on the prior financial year and 
is  at  the  top  end  of  the  tightened  guidance 
range  provided  by  Maas  of  $150M-$165M  in 
June 2023.

Growth has been achieved across four of our 
five  key  operating  segments  despite  some 
challenging market conditions.

As  a  Group,  we  continued  to  grow  through 
in  our  construction 
strategic 

investment 

We also further expanded our hub operations 
in Central Queensland through the acquisition 
of  Schwarz  Excavations.  As  experienced 
contractors  to  the  rail  sector  and  with 
significant  synergies  to  our  construction 
materials  segment,  Schwarz 
is  a  highly 
complementary  business  supporting  our 
long-term  growth  objectives  in  the  Central 
Queensland market.

HARNESSING A HIGH-PERFORMING 
CULTURE TO ACHIEVE GROWTH 

is  deeply 

The  distinctive  and  high-performing  culture 
at  Maas 
ingrained  within  our 
organisation and aligns closely with our core 
values.  As  our  business  has  continued  to 
expand, we have made it a priority to preserve 
the  strong  culture  and  guiding  principles 
upon which our company was founded. 

Safety  remains  paramount  to  our  success, 
and 
I  am  proud  that  our  culture  of 
commitment and care extends to our safety-
first  mindset.  At  Maas,  we  are  committed 
to  our  people  and  their  safety.  Our  Health, 
Safety  and  Environment  Strategy  focuses 
on  our  people  and  risks,  supported  by  our 
systems.  Through  genuine  consultation  and 
effective communication, we are dedicated to 
achieving our safety objectives and ensuring 
everyone goes home safely at the end of each 
day.

Our  people  are  our  greatest  asset.  We 
continue  to  invest  in  nurturing  our  existing 
talent  through  training  and  development 
to  ensure  a  highly  engaged  workforce 
committed to upholding our values. We also 

remain committed to attracting new talent to 
ensure the sustained growth of our business. 

We  remain  actively 
involved  and  deeply 
rooted in the communities where we operate, 
supporting  charitable  organisations, 
local 
sports  clubs,  and  community 
initiatives. 
The  communities  that  support  us  are  of 
great  importance,  and  we  are  committed  to 
maintaining  our  active  engagement  with 
them.

At  Maas,  we  are  a  team,  and  we  need  the 
support  of  each  other  to  be  able  to  achieve 
our  goals.  I  would  like  to  thank  everyone  for 
their  commitment  to  the  business,  passion 
in  supporting  us  to  grow.  In 
and  focus 
particular,  I  would  like  to  acknowledge  our 
executive  leadership  team  for  carving  the 
path of success this year. 

I  thank  the  Board  of  Directors  for  their 
invaluable  guidance  and  support  over  the 
past  year  as  we  have  driven  the  company 
forward. 

Lastly, I extend my thanks to our shareholders 
for their trust and confidence in our company 
throughout  the  course  of  the  past  year.  I 
assure  you  of  my  continued  dedication  to 
fostering the company’s growth and fulfilling 
our commitments. I am excited by the future, 
forward-thinking  and 
as  Maas 
continuously  challenges  the  status  quo  to 
achieve  our  goals  and  deliver  results  for  our 
shareholders,  employees,  customers,  and 
communities.

OUR  
COMMUNITIES

Fundamental to our business are the communities in which we operate, and 
we  are  committed  to  helping  to  make  them  better,  more  sustainable  and 
thriving places for those that live there today and in the future. 

Our local communities are 
integral to our success, and we 
are committed to supporting 
them in the most meaningful 
way possible 

Wes Maas, Maas Group CEO 

In our day-to-day operations, we do this by developing authentic communities that enhance the 
lifestyle of those living there and those that visit. We plan places that encourage active living and 
promote the natural environment. We also invest in community and shared facilities that allow 
people to meet and come together. 

Outside of our day-to-day operations, we are proud to support initiatives representing who we 
are as an organisation, our team and local communities’ values. Our focus in FY23 has been on 
supporting  children’s  and  mental  health  charities,  local  community  and  sporting  groups,  and 
initiatives that support economic and social outcomes at a grassroots level. 

•  Dolly’s  Dream:  As  our  national  charity  of 
choice for FY23, Maas raised over $16,000 to 
support young people and their families in 
addressing  the  impact  of  bullying,  anxiety, 
depression  and  youth  suicide  through 
education and awareness-raising initiatives. 
Looking  forward  to  FY24,  we  seek  further 
opportunities to partner with Dolly’s Dream 
to grow our contribution to this cause. 

•  Dubbo  Regional  Theatre  &  Convention 
Centre  (DRTCC):  Maas  Group  is  a  proud 
Centre  Stage  sponsor  of  the  DRTCC, 
a  critical  pillar  of  the  arts  and  culture 
community  in  the  Dubbo  region.  Through 
our  sponsorship,  DRTCC  has  funded  and 
supported major cultural shows and events 
for  the  community,  including  bringing  the 
Sydney and Melbourne Comedy Festival to 
the  region  and  prominent  performing  and 
musical artists. 

•  The  Clontarf  Foundation:  We  are  proud 
to  have  a  long-term  partnership  with  the 
Clontarf Foundation – supporting education, 
life  skills,  self-esteem  and  employment 
prospects  of  young  Aboriginal  and  Torres 
Strait Islander men across regional Australia.

•  Dubbo  Macquarie  Titan  Mud  Run:  Maas 
has  been  the  major  sponsor  of  the  Dubbo 
Macquarie Titan Mud Run for over 10 years. 
This significant community event in Dubbo 
draws  large  groups  of  locals,  promoting 
physical and mental health and well-being 
while  raising  funds  to  build  community 
sports infrastructure and facilities.

ENVIRONMENT 
& CLIMATE

Maas  remains  dedicated  to  its  journey  of  minimising  environmental  and 
climate-related impacts.

The  business  has  several  initiatives  underway  across  the  Group  to  reduce 
adverse  environmental  impacts  and  transition  to  low-carbon  products.    In 
FY23, new initiatives included: 

•  Hybrid  Hydrogen  fuel  replacement  trial: 
Working 
in  partnership  with  Australian 
company HYDI, Maas commenced a hybrid 
hydrogen  fuel  system  trial  in  a  selected 
fleet.  The  use  of  hydrogen  as  a  fuel  has 
environmental  benefits  related  to  reduced 
fuel  usage  and  reduces  carbon  monoxide 
and  particulate  matter  emissions.  The 
trial  has  already  realised  fuel  savings  to 
the  Company  of  approximately  $0.13  per 
kilometre, with further analysis of emissions 
data  to  be  completed  as  the  trial  rollout 
continues  across  other  heavy  vehicle 
applications.  

•  Sustainable  Asphalt:  Our 

sustainable 
asphalt  product,  Carbonphalt,  uses  carbon 
char extracted from recycled vehicle tyres. It 
offers improved performance as an asphalt 
product,  and  for  each  tonne  produced, 
10  vehicle  tyres  are  removed  from  waste 
landfills  and  repurposed  into  roads.  As 
the  manufacturing  process  recycles  100% 
of  each  tyre,  this  removes  a  significant 
contributor from landfill, with an estimated 
56  million  tyres12  awaiting  disposal  at  sites 
in  Australia.  The  Austek  asphalt  plant  also 
uses  recycled  tyre  derived  fuel  (Zeroad) 
as  its  primary  fuel  source  (as  opposed  to 
diesel). Austek is the first plant in  Australia 
to implement this innovation. The use of the 
recycled  tyre  fuel  and  Recovered  Carbon 
Black  reduces  the  embodied  carbon  by 

up to 24% compared to a standard asphalt 
plant.  

•  Recycling  in  concrete  production:    Maas 
continues  to  implement  ways  to  reduce 
the  environmental 
impact  of  concrete 
production.  Returned  concrete  is  either 
used  to  manufacture  products  that  have 
uses across our construction and quarrying 
businesses,  crushed  and  sold  as  a  recycled 
aggregate  for  use  in  road  or  other  civil 
construction,  or  reprocessed  through  the 
plant. This avoids placing waste concrete in 
landfill. By-products from the burning of coal 
for  electricity  production,  referred  to  as  fly 
ash, are used to supplement cement as the 
cementitious agent in concrete production, 
reducing  the  reliance  on  production  and 
supply  of  cement.  This  reduces  the  net 
emissions  of  greenhouse  gas  associated 
with  concrete  production.  Where  possible, 
manufactured  sand  is  used  in  preference 
to  natural  sand.    This  maximises  the  use 
of  already  extracted  rock  and  reduces 
the  reliance  on  the  excavation  of  natural 
sand.  Further,  water  management  of  each 
concrete  plant  is  maximised  to  capture 
and  reuse  any  water  not  retained  within 
the batched concrete or concrete products.  
This  reduces  the  total  volume  of 
‘raw’ 
water  required  for  each  tonne  of  concrete 
manufactured.

We  intend  to  extend  our  current  initiatives  to  innovate  and  drive  sustainable 
development for long-term value for our stakeholders.

The  Group  recognises  and  supports  the  growing  interest  of  our  stakeholders  concerning  the 
potential  risks  and  opportunities  posed  to  our  business  and  the  broader  sector  due  to  climate 
change  and  the  global  transition  towards  a  lower  carbon  economy.  In  2024  we  expect  to 
demonstrate targets and a pathway towards improving our energy efficiency and reducing our 
own carbon footprint as well as support the national decarbonisation agenda. The pursuit of such 
future targets in all business segments will translate into meaningful shareholder value.

The Board is currently developing a roadmap to meet future sustainability reporting requirements 
in accordance with the International Sustainability Standards Board first two IFRS Sustainability 
Standards.

GOVERNANCE 

Sustainability presents both challenges and opportunities for Maas. The Board 
and Executive are committed to actively managing our risks and opportunities, 
essential for long-term sustainable performance.

In the second half of 2023, the Health, Safety, and Environment Committee will be renamed to 
the  Health,  Safety,  Environment  and  Sustainability  (HSES)  Committee  to  reflect  our  maturing 
commitment to sustainability. In addition to its current role, the HSES Committee will advise and 
assist the Board in relation to corporate social responsibility and sustainability.  

The Executive recognises that sustainability is a fundamental component of our operations and 
is focused on implementing continuous improvement in sustainability.

Maas has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th edition) 
(“ASX Recommendations”) to the extent appropriate for the size, nature and maturity of the Group’s 
operations.  Maas  has  prepared  a  statement  that  sets  out  the  corporate  governance  practices 
that  were  in  operation  during  the  year  and  have  identified  any  of  the  ASX  Recommendations 
which have not been followed and, where appropriate, provides reasons for not following the ASX 
Recommendations. The Group’s Corporate Governance Statement and policies are available on 
our website at:

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Quarries | Concrete | Asphalt | Geo-Tech | Logistics

We are a leading supplier of quarry 
materials, aggregates, pre-mix concrete, 
crushing  and  screening  services, 
asphalt and transport and logistics to 
the  civil  infrastructure,  building  and 
construction,  and  mining  sectors 
across  the  east  coast  of  Australia. 
We also offer geotechnical services, 
including  geological  engineering, 
drilling  and  testing  through  our 
Macquarie Geotech business. 

Australia’s east coast is home to some of the 
most  critical  infrastructure  projects  in  the 
country.  Our  quarries,  concrete  and  asphalt 
plants  are  strategically  located  along  the 
east  coast  –  stretching  from  Central  QLD  to 
Victoria  and  provide  us  with  an  expansive 
product  reach  aligned  to  markets  set  to 
take  advantage  of  the  significant  regional 
infrastructure pipeline.

To  expand  our  capabilities  and  increase  our 
market  share,  we  constantly  seek  to  acquire 
strategically  located  quarries  in  new  and 
existing markets where operational scale can be 
achieved. In FY23, this included the acquisition 
of  Dandy  Premix,  a  large  concrete  producer 
with  five  plants  in  suburban  Melbourne  and 
two self-supplying quarries in the Yarra Valley 
and  Grantville.  This  strategic  acquisition 
opens the Group to new opportunities in the 
fragmented  Victorian  market,  particularly  in 
the rail and construction sectors. 

FY23  also  saw  the  Group  acquire  the 
controlling  share  in  Austek  –  a  significant 
asphalt  services  business  servicing 
the 
Brisbane and Gold Coast markets and regional 
areas of Queensland and Northern NSW.

Major 
investment  across 
regional  and  metro  markets  has  driven  our 
acquisition  strategy.  In  FY23,  we  finalised 
the  acquisition  of  Schwarz  Excavations,  an 
experienced  and  well-regarded  civil  and 
rail  contractor  in  Central  Queensland.  This 
acquisition  will  enable  Maas  to  achieve 
greater pull-through when working alongside 
our construction materials segment on major 
projects in this high-growth market. 

Our  integrated  capability  as  a  large  civil  and 
electrical  contractor  means  we  can  supply 
services across the project lifecycle. 

Through  our  electrical  transmission  and 
distribution  businesses,  JLE  Electrical  and

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Earnings Summary 

The Group delivered a record Proforma EBITDA result for the year end 30 June 2023 of $163.134m, representing an increase 
of 30.4% from FY22 ($125.130m). Accompanying this result was an increase in consolidated Proforma Revenue of 48.6% to 
$801.000m (FY22 $539.095m) and an increase in Statutory NPAT by 6.3% to $65.455m (FY22 $61.562m). 

Growth was achieved across four of the five operating segments, with Construction Materials, Civil Construction & Hire, 
Commerical Real Estate and Manufacturing all reporting strong returns.  Residential Real Estate contributed to the result 
however the segment was impacted by the sharp interest rates rises throughout the year and consequent challenging 
market  conditions.   Strategic  acquisitions  in  the  Construction  Material  and  Civil  Construction  &  Hire  segments  also 
contributed to the growth in FY23. 

The Group’s result reinforces the track record of delivering continued organic growth mixed with accretive acquisitions. 
Disciplined capital allocation with a focus on return on capital has allowed for all five operating segments to contribute 
to this record result in FY23. 

The Group delivered this result amidst challenging macroeconomic conditions, in particular, persistent high inflation and 
ongoing interest rate increases which existed throughout FY23, as well as significant weather-related disruptions which 
impacted operations in the first half of FY23. 

An overview of operating segment performance is summarised below. 

Construction Materials 

Proforma  revenue  in  the  Construction  Materials  segment  increased  by  88.25%  to  $229.664m  (FY22  $122.000m)  with 
proforma  EBITDA  increasing  by  81.8%  to  $52.028m  (FY22  $28.600m). This  growth  was  underpinned  by  increases  in 
average selling price, quarry sales volumes and concrete volumes from existing operations and acquisitions. The entry to 
Victoria  through  the  Dandy  Premix  acquisition  has  resulted  in  the  segment  achieving  an  established  presence  in  the 
Victorian Construction Materials market which achieved strong concrete  sales and delivery since acquisition driven by 
heightened  demand  on  major  state  government  projects.  The  segment  result  was  delivered  despite  the  impact  of 
significant wet weather across the segment’s operating regions in the first half of FY23 and increasing fuel and energy 
costs throughout the whole of FY23. 

The  significant wet  weather  events  during  the  first  half  of FY23  impacted  revenues  through  the  delay  of  projects and 
decreased production efficiency resulting in higher costs. Favourable operating conditions returned during the second 
half  of  FY23,  driving an  increase  in  demand and  production  efficiency.  The  segment continues  to  manage inflationary 
risks  through  regular  customer  pricing  reviews  and  continued  focus  on  leveraging  procurement  power  across  the 
Group. While  wet  weather  remains  a  material  risk,  the  segment  witnessed  more  favourable  weather  and  improved 
operating conditions in the second half of FY23.  

Civil, Construction & Hire 

Proforma revenue in the Civil, Construction & Hire segment increased by 46.86% to $370.536m (FY22 $252.300m) with 
proforma EBITDA increasing by 38.3% to $68.717m (FY22 $49.700m).  The increase was driven by a combination of organic 
growth of existing operations and acquisitions with Garde contributing for the full period and Schwarz Excavations for 
eleven months in the year ended 30 June 2023. Integration synergies continue to be realised through consolidation  of 
leadership,  assets,  equipment  pools,  systems  and  shared  services  for  project  management,  engineering  and 
administration support. 

The  Civil,  Construction  &  Hire  segment  year-on-year  result  was  driven  by  enhanced  project  delivery  across  major 
infrastructure projects. The growth of the segment continued to benefit from the integrated industrial services offering 
to major infrastructure projects across the east coast of Australia. While the segment results were impacted adversely 
during the first half of FY23 due to wet weather, strong project delivery and efficiency returned in the second half of FY23.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

Residential Real Estate 

Mergers and Acquisition 

Proforma  revenue  in  the  Residential  Real  Estate  segment  decreased  by  13.4%  to  $89.667m  (FY22  $103.562m)  with 
proforma EBITDA decreasing 56.4% to $12.832m (FY22 $29.447m). The decrease was driven by reduced sales volumes with 
181  settlements  (including  55  build  to  rent)  in  the  period  (FY22:  270  lots  including  30  build  to  rent).  Subdued  buyer 
sentiment  arose  due  to  a  combination  of  consecutive  interest  rate  rises  and  cost  of  living  pressures  which  negatively 
impacted sales volumes. Despite the adverse sentiment, the segment noted increased home delivery with 172 build starts 
and 174 build completions (FY22: 155 Starts; 110 Completions). The land delivery and home building programs are scalable 
and controlled, allowing flexibility to react to market demand. Valuation adjustments were noted related to the continued 
delivery of the Build-to-Rent program of $4.168m (FY22: $4.328m). 

Increased uncertainty continued in residential real estate during the period, arising from numerous successive increases 
in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the inflationary impacts on build costs.  The combination of 
the higher interest rates and the frequency of increases has dampened market conditions in the segment, causing an 
increased  time  to  covert  sales  from  inquiry  to  settlement.  The  uncertainty  in  this  segment  is  expected  to  continue 
throughout  FY24. The  inflationary  pressure  on  housing  construction  costs  continues  to  be  a  risk  to  the  industry. The 
acquisition by  the Group of a building supplies business in FY22 has assisted in mitigating this risk through improved 
supply chains and procurement practices. 

Commercial Real Estate 

Proforma  revenue  in  the  Commercial  Real  Estate  segment  increased  by  61.8%  to  $138.216m  (FY22  $85.4291m)  with 
proforma  EBITDA  increasing  by  68.5%  to  $41.677m  (FY22  $24.731m). The  result  was  underpinned  by  the  growth  of 
commercial  construction  businesses and  the  increased  project  delivery  from  commercial  construction  contracts.  Cost 
inflation on projects was mitigated through procurement activities from the building supplies business unit, supporting 
comparably  stable  project  margins.  Valuation  increases  from  the  commercial  development  portfolio resulted  in  the 
recognition of $26.243m (FY22: $14.515m) revaluation as the projects reached key milestones. 

The portfolio of assets continued to expand during the period with the Group now holding industrial sites, self-storage 
facilities,  childcare  development  locations  as  well  as  other  commercial  development  properties.  At  varying  stages  of 
development, the portfolio represents a gross development value of $871.800m as at 30 June 2023 with significant ability 
to self-perform projects through construction capability and the building supplies business unit. 

Increased  uncertainty  continued  in  broader  real  estate  markets  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2023,  arising  from 
numerous successive increases in interest rates by the RBA and the inflationary impacts on build costs.  The combination 
of  a  higher  interest  rate  environment  dampened  market  conditions  in  areas  of  the  Commercial  Real  Estate  industry, 
although  some  asset  classes,  such  as  industrial  property,  remain  resilient  from  these  headwinds  with  strong  demand 
remaining.  

While the Group anticipates the uncertainty of broader real estate markets to impact this segment in FY24, given the 
broadness of the asset classes within the portfolio, it is unlikely to materially impact the segment. The inflationary pressure 
on construction costs continues to be a risk to the industry however shorter lifecycle of projects within the segment assist 
in job cost management. The acquisition by the Group of a building supplies business in FY22 has assisted in mitigating 
this risk through improved supply chains and procurement practices. 

Manufacturing 

Proforma revenue in the Manufacturing segment increased by 54.6% to $30.570m (FY22 $19.800m) with proforma EBITDA 
increasing by 129.0% to $4.102m (FY22 $1.800m). Improved operating conditions as the external supply market normalises 
post  COVID  and  realisation  of  operational  efficiencies  in  both  production  and  sales  has  resulted  in  the  improved 
performance  of  this  division.  Significant  investment  in  Jacon  brand  recognition  contributed  to  increased  distribution 
pathways for machine sales.  

Trading conditions are expected to remain stable in FY24 with planned distribution channel expansion into the United 
States and Europe.  

The Group continued to pursue strategic acquisitions through the hub and spoke model which expands operations while 
realising synergies and offer accretive growth during the year to 30 June 2023 with a total investment of $178.821m across 
four acquisitions: 

(1)  Schwarz  Excavations  Pty  Ltd  (Schwarz)  was  acquired  in  July  2022  and  is  reported  in  the  Civil,  Construction  &  Hire 
segment. Based in Central Queensland, the acquisition further enhances the Group’s contracting capabilities in the 
region, offering synergies with existing operations and assets. 

(2)  Clermont Quarries (Clermont) was acquired in September 2022 and is reported in the Construction Materials segment. 
This acquisition in Central Queensland contained four hard rock quarries complimenting the existing operations and 
capability in the region. 

(3)  Dandy Premix Quarries Pty Ltd (Dandy) was acquired in December 2022 and is reported in the Construction Materials 
segment.  Based  in  South  East  Melbourne,  Dandy  is  an  integrated  construction  materials  business  operating  five 
concrete plants, a sand quarry and a hard rock quarry. This acquisition represents the entry into the Victorian metro 
market for the Group. 

(4)  A 75% interest in Austek Asphalt was acquired in May 2023 and is reported in the Construction Materials segment. 
Based in South East Queensland, the Asphalt operator is a downstream user of quarry productions and represents an 
expansion of current capabilities for the Group. 

Further details on the acquisitions are set out in note 37 to the financial statements. 

Cash Flow and Working Capital 

Statutory operating cash inflows before payments for land inventory increased 45.8% to $113.659m (FY22 $77.908m) as a 
result of higher earnings and greater working capital management. The Group continues to take a proactive approach in 
managing  credit  default  risk,  including  monitoring  customers  trading  activity,  particularly  within  the  construction 
industry.  Operating  cashflows  were  reduced  by  the  further  investment  inland  inventory  of  $111.095m  which  exhibits  a 
multiyear lag between englobo and project acquisition and settlement as developed lots. 

Significant  investing  cash  outflows  occurred  during  the  period  as  the Group  transacted on  opportunities  that aligned 
with operational strategy or incurred capital expenditure that passed return on capital benchmarks. This included the 
acquisition of four businesses as mentioned above and material commercial property acquisitions of the Quest Hotel in 
Dubbo, NSW ($15.610m) and the Sandgate development site in Newcastle, NSW ($24.724m). These commercial property 
acquisitions continue to build the Group’s diversified asset portfolio with additions to commercial and future industrial 
redevelopment. The cash payments for property plant and equipment during the period totalled $82.158m and was split 
between $46.000m for Growth and $36.158mfor Maintenance. The Group is committed to continuing to measure assets 
against performance benchmarks and undertaking capital recycling where required. 

The Group issued 29,389,177 new ordinary shares during the year ended 30 June 2023. This resulted in the value of share 
capital increasing by 27.33% to $550.778m (FY22 $432.530m). The share capital increase is represented by $118.408m from 
capital  raises  (net  of  transaction  costs),  a  DRP  of  $1.507m  and  $2.499m  as  part  consideration  for  businesses  acquired 
during  the  period  offset  by  $4.166m  of  shares  withdrawn  from  the  market  via  buyback.  Refer  to  note  24  for  further 
information. 

Group Debt and Dividends 

Net  debt  excluding  AASB  16  property  leases  increased  by  72.8%  to  $442.875m  over  the  year  to  30  June  2023  (FY22 
$256.240m) largely driven by the investing cash outflows discussed above. The Group received continued support from 
its  banking  partners  during  the  period  with  increases  in  banking  facility  limits  to  $600.000m  (FY22  $500.000m).  This 
increase included an $85.000m increase to the term loan and a $15.000m increase to the equipment finance facility. In 
addition  to  this  facility,  the  Group  also  retains  the  consent  to  source  separate  commercial  property  funding  of  up  to 
$200.000m  in  aggregate  from  financiers  for  commercial  property  projects  with  $8.000m  drawn  at  30  June  2023.  All 
banking covenants were adhered with during the period. 

The Board Policy of a dividend payout ratio of 20%-40% of Cash NPAT has continued during the year ended 30 June 2023, 
underpinned by strengthened earnings. The Board has declared a 3c fully franked dividend on the 17th August 2023 in 
relation to the year end 30 June 2023. Combined with the 3c fully franked interim dividend paid, there was a 9.0% growth 
in dividends during FY23.

Directors' report

MAAS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
30 JUNE 2023

Principal Risks  

The  Group  acknowledges  a  range  of  risks  that  exist  across  the  operations.  It  is  committed  to  building  a  strong  risk 
management culture to ensure the Group continues to deliver on its vision and strategy. This includes the development 
and incorporation of risk management procedures into strategic plans and budgets, and regular reporting on the status 
of key risks to relevant committees and the Board. 

(1)  Economic Conditions – The RBA has continued to increase interest rates over the last twelve months and  there is a 
risk  of  further  interest  rate  rises.  The  Group,  particularly  in  the  Residential  and  Commercial  Real  Estate  segments, 
operate  in an  environment where  customer  demand  may be  impacted  by  negative  economic  sentiment, and  this 
may  delay  the  demand  of  the  Group’s sales  or  impact  selling  prices and  carrying  values.    The  Group also  relies  on 
external  suppliers  for  the  delivery  of  its  services  and  has  been  and  may  continue  to  be  impacted  by  supply  chain 
interruptions and cost inflation. 

(2)  Infrastructure Programs and Government Policy – The Group benefits from offering large infrastructure projects an 
integrated service solution, with such projects usually dependent on government fiscal policy decisions. Changes in 
government infrastructure fiscal policy direction can impact the Group results positively through via stimulus, and 
adversely through spending restriction. 

(3)  Wet  Weather  –  The  Group  activities  have  and  can  be  impacted  by  extreme  weather  events,  including  prolonged 
periods  of  rain.  These  weather  events  can  impact  both  productivity  and  access  to  work  sites,  resulting  in  delayed 
revenue and increased costs. 

(4)  Workforce Management and Skilled Labour – The Group is dependent on its ability to attract and retain employees in 
order to operate and grow the business. The market for labour is highly competitive and there is no guarantee that 
the Group will be able to identify, recruit and retain the employees required to operate the business at current levels 
and / or to enable the growth of the business in accordance with its plans. 

(5)  Health & Safety – The Group operates in environments where inherent safety risk can arise in the normal course of 
business. The Group operates across a diverse network of site locations and physical equipment which includes the 
operation of large light and heavy vehicle fleet where there is a potential ongoing risk of accidents which could cause 
injury or death notwithstanding the safety systems of the Group. 

(6)  Capital Management – The Group’s continued ability to effectively implement its strategy over time may depend in 
part on its ability to raise additional funds, manage its capital position effectively and/or refinance its existing debt. 
Capital  mismanagement  or  access  to  additional  working  capital  if  required,  may  impact  Maas  Group’s  growth 
aspirations. 

(7)  Competition and loss of revenue – The industries in which the Group operates are highly competitive and are expected 
to remain so. Any increase in competition could result in loss of market share, reduced operating margins, and price 
reductions. Although the Company  has a sound track record in securing new contracts and competing effectively, 
there can be no assurance that any or all of its businesses will continue to perform in the future. 

(8)  Acquisitions  –  The  Group  has  and  will  continue  to  pursue  strategic  acquisitions  to  deliver  on  its  strategic  plan.  To 
finance any future acquisitions, the Group may procure additional debt and/or seek to raise equity capital, which may 
further dilute the holdings of shareholders.  There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to identify suitable 
candidates  for  successful  acquisitions  at  acceptable  prices,  or  successfully  execute  acquisitions  and  integration  of 
targets once identified. 

(9)  Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations – The Group acknowledges the growing demands of our 
stakeholders  in ESG, and  the potential  risks  and opportunities  posed  to  our  business,  and  the  broader  sector, as a 
result of our environmental footprint, climate change and the anticipated global transition towards a lower carbon 
economy. The Group is committed to defining benchmarks for ESG performance and subsequent metrics to measure 
performance. The Group acknowledges there is a risk of ESG inaction which could result in potential non-compliance 
fines  and  mismanaged  community  expectations.  The  board  is  currently  developing  a  roadmap  to  meet  future 
sustainability reporting requirements in accordance with the International Sustainability Standards Board's first two 
IFRS Sustainability Standards.

Directors' report 
30 June 2023 
MAAS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
30 JUNE 2023

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

Proforma Revenue, Proforma NPAT, Proforma EPS, Proforma EBITDA, Proforma EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted 
EBIT are non-IFRS earnings measures which do not have any standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore 
may not be comparable to Revenue, NPAT, EPS, EBIT and EBITDA presented by other companies. These measures, which 
are unaudited, are important to management as an additional way to evaluate the consolidated entity’s performance. 

SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS 

The following changes occurred during the year in the sub-committees: 

(1)  Audit and Risk Committee: 

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of significant items of income and expenditure which may have an impact on the 
quality of earnings because of isolated or non-recurring events.  

Proforma EBITDA is adjusted for the pre-acquisition EBITDA of business combinations where the company is entitled to 
pre-completion  profits  and  non-operational  items  during  the  year  including  share-based  payments  and  fair  value 
movement of contingent consideration. 

Proforma Revenue is normalised for pre-acquisition revenue of business combinations where the company is entitled to 
pre-completion revenue as well as the reversal of non-controlling interest revenue. Proforma EBIT is normalised for one 
off depreciation adjustments as well as the reversal of non-controlling interest depreciation and amortisation. 

Proforma NPAT (Net Profit After Tax) is normalised for the NPAT impact of Proforma EBIT above in addition to Proforma 
interest. Proforma EPS (Earnings Per Share) is calculated using Proforma NPAT divided by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year ended 
outside of those discussed above, in the Chairman's Letter, Chief Executive Officer's Report and Operating and Financial 
Review.  

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 

Dividend 

The Directors declared a fully franked final dividend of 3 cents per share on 17 August 2023, which reflects a full year 
dividend of 6 cents per share, an increase of 9.0% from the prior year. 

Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP) 

On  the  17th  August  2023  the  Directors  approved  an  Award  in  relation  to  FY22  under  the  LTIP  program  previously 
approved by shareholders.   

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future 
financial years.  

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The  Group  enters  FY24  with  operations  and  strategies  consistent  with  that  of  FY23.  There  is  a  focus  on  continued 
execution of business excellence and consolidation of processes of newly acquired businesses. This includes potential 
capital recycling programs which will be delivered in line with internal return on capital benchmarks.  

Other than items discussed above, in the Chairman's Letter, Chief Executive Officer's Report and Operating and Financial 
Review, no other information on likely developments in operations of the Group and the expected results of operations 
have been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in the unreasonable prejudice 
to the Group.  

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION 

The  Group  is  subject  to  various  environmental  regulations  under  Commonwealth  and  State  laws.  To  the  Directors 
knowledge, the Group has conducted its operations in accordance with this legislation and has not been subject to any 
penalty by the relevant authority.  

The nature of the Group's operations requires ongoing discussion with relevant authorities responsible for monitoring 
and regulating the environmental impact of the Group's activities.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED 

LETTER FROM THE REMUNERATION & NOMINATION COMMITTEE CHAIR 

Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present our 2023 Remuneration Report.  At Maas Group we are committed to 
creating long term value for all our stakeholders and the Board continues to work together with the CEO, Wes Maas, to 
ensure our remuneration and incentive arrangements align the interests of both our employees and shareholders. 

FY23 Performance and Remuneration Outcomes  

The  Group  has  continued  to  deliver  on  its  long-term  strategy  and  has  reported  a  strong  result  again  in  FY23. Sales 
Revenue  increased  by  55.7%  to  $805.324m  (FY22:$517.121m),  pro  forma  EBIT  increased  by  27.3%  to  $119.966m  (FY22 
$94.200m) and statutory net profit after tax increased by 6.3% to $65.455m (FY22 $61.562m). 

The Board declared a fully franked dividend of 3 cents per share, resulting in a full year fully franked dividend of 6 cents 
for FY23 (FY22 5.5 cents). 

Despite the difficult market conditions, impacted by record wet weather events, rising interest rates with a backdrop of 
high  inflation,  and  the  continued  disruption  of  international  supply  chains,  the  Board  is  extremely  pleased  with  the 
Group's  performance  in  FY23  and  we  would  like  to  thank Wes,  the  leadership  team,  and  all  our  employees  for  their 
commitment and achievements during the year. 

Changes to the Remuneration Framework During FY23 

Changes were made to the Short-Term Incentive (STI) program in FY23 which included the incorporation of a STI for the 
CEO, Wes Maas, into his remuneration package. The STI for the CEO includes a range of financial and non-financial goals. 
Further details on the financial outcomes of the STI’s for the Executives is included in section 5. 

Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) 

Recognising the need to attract and retain high calibre employees, our shareholders approved the Group’s Long Term 
Incentive Plan (LTIP) in November 2021. The LTIP was established to enable the award of equity incentives to eligible 
employees and contractors, linking the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the long-term 
performance of the Group. 

 Eligible  participants  will  receive  an  Award  based  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  Group  for  the  preceding  year, 
measured  against  targets  set  by  the  Board.   Earnings  before  Interest  and  Tax  (EBIT)  is  considered  the  appropriate 
measure to determine the value of the Award. The participant will receive the Award value in Performances Rights with 
performance hurdles linked to Earnings Per Share growth (EPS CAGR) and Return on Equity for the four financial years 
following the Award year. The vesting of the performance rights will be linked to achieving the performance hurdles and 
continued employment by the participant at the vesting date. 

The participants include executive KMP (Executive), other executives and senior managers who have been identified as 
key drivers of Maas Group’s performance and long term success. The grant date for the annual Awards will be aligned 
with the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. 

The Board has approved the initial annual award program (Award) under the LTIP on 17 August 2023 as follows: 
●  Award of 550,950 performance rights relating to the FY22 financial year. The number of rights to be granted have been 
determined  using  the  face  value  of  the  award  ($2,203,800)  divided  by  the  share  price  using  the  volume  weighted 
average  price  (VWAP)  during  the  20-day  period  immediately  after  the  issue  of  the  FY22  results  ($4.00). The 
performance rights will vest in August 2026 with EPS CAGR and average Return on Equity hurdles for the four year 
period ending 30 June 2026. Further information can be found in section 6.

Directors' report

2.1.  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE 

The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Group’s remuneration framework, monitoring and managing the 
performance of the CEO, Executives and management, and approving and managing succession plans. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assists and advises the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities 
to shareholders and other stakeholders by ensuring that the Group has remuneration policies that: 
●  attract,  retain  and  motivate  high  quality  Directors,  Executives  and  management  who  will  generate  value  for 

shareholders;

●  are market competitive based on role, location and industry; 
●  are aligned to the Board’s vision, values and overall business objectives;

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role.  

Non-Executive Directors fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

6.    EXECUTIVE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI) OUTCOMES 

LTI’s  for Executives  are  based  on a  profit  share allocation  of  Earnings Before  Interest  and  Tax  (EBIT)  for  the  preceding 
financial year. The initial allocation (Award) is based on a percentage of the participants base salary and is designed to 
grow over time as the Group’s earnings grow. The annual Award is based on the Group’s actual EBIT against Target EBIT 
(100%) with adjustments for Threshold (70%) and Maximum (130%). The Board will set Target EBIT annually as part of the 
Group’s budget process. 

The  LTI  is  issued  as  Performance  Rights  with  financial  performance  hurdles  tested  over  the  four-year  period  post 
allocation. 

 The table below sets out the key components of the LTI structure for Executives: 

Who is Eligible to 
Participate? 

What is the LTI Structure? 

Award Value 

How are the number of 
Performance Rights Issued 
determined? 

• 

• 
• 
• 

• 
• 

• 

• 

• 

Invitation program for Executive KMP and other executives and managers in the Group. 
Invitation is annual and participants must exhibit the Group core values. 

Annual award of Performance Rights linked to the underlying MGH securities. 
The Performance Rights do not receive distributions or voting until vesting. 

Based on a profit pool allocation of EBIT for preceding financial year 
Maximum annual profit share pool for all KMP and non KMP participants 5% of annual 
EBIT. 
Individual allocation determined based on starting % of base salary (17.5% – 50%) which 
can grow over time as the Group’s earnings grow. 

The number of Performance Rights allocated are calculated as the Award Value divided 
by the Share Price 
The Share Price is determined using the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) 
during the 20-day period immediately after the issue of the annual financial statements. 

What is the Vesting Period? 

•   The  Performance  Rights  will  vest  four  years  post  allocation,  subject  to  meeting  the 

Performance Hurdles and ongoing employment by the participant 

What are the Performance 
Hurdles? 

• 

• 

• 

Earnings Per Share – compound annual growth rate over the four financial years post 
Award. This is considered the underlying value driver for the Group and over the longer 
term should align with Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 
Return  on  Equity  –  average  over  the  four financial  years  post-award.    Measure  of  the 
efficiency of the deployment of capital. 
Hurdles  are  set  to  be  challenging  for  management  with  a  stretch  component  but 
without encouraging inappropriate risk taking. 

What is the weighting of the 
performance hurdles 

• 
• 

50% EPS hurdle 
50% Return on Equity 

Can the hurdles be adjusted  

•  No (subject to ASX Listing Rule adjustments) 

Participant Leaves 

•  If participant is a good leaver they will retain a portion of their unvested Performance 

Rights, pro-rated for time served and subject performance testing. 

Change of Control 

•   The Board retains discretion in the unlikely event of change of control. 

On 17 August 2023 the Board approved the LTI Award for FY22, noting that the LTI Award of the CEO and other Executive 
Board members are subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. 

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Directors' report

The key elements of the FY22 Award is set out in the following table. The EPS CAGR and Return on Equity range are for 
the purposes of testing criteria for vesting of Performance Rights. The range does not constitute earnings guidance for 
the Group. Further definition of key criteria relevant for measuring the LTIP will be provided in the financial year in which 
performance rights are granted.

The  Board  will  approve  the calculation of  the financial  hurdles  which will  be  based  on reported  results  in  the audited 
financial statements.   

The reported earnings for the Group includes the fair value remeasurement of deferred equity consideration relating to 
acquisitions.  This can result in earning fluctuations based on movements in MGH’s share price (a decrease in share price 
results in a positive fair value adjustment, an increase in share price results in a negative fair value adjustment).  

The  Board  considers  that  the  fair  value  movements  on  deferred  equity  consideration  do  not  reflect  the  underlying 
performance of the Group and will be normalised in the EPS CAGR and Return on Equity calculations for vesting testing, 
removing the impact of these adjustments. 

The  Board  has  considered  the  fair  value  remeasurement  relating  to  development  projects  held  for  investment. While 
these movements are non-cash, the Board believes that they reflect the economic value added (or deducted) during the 
relevant  reporting  period  in  relation  the  development  projects.  As  a  result,  the  fair  value  remeasurement  on 
developments  held  for  investment  will  be  included  in  the  calculation  of  EPS  CAGR  and  Return  on  Equity  for  vesting 
testing.

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

SHARES ISSUED ON THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

There were no ordinary shares of MAAS Group Holdings Limited issued on the exercise of options during the year ended 
30 June 2023 and up to the date of this report.  

On behalf of the directors

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer 

SHARES ISSUED ON THE EXERCISE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS 

There were no ordinary shares of MAAS Group Holdings Limited issued on the exercise of performance rights during the 
year ended 30 June 2023 and up to the date of this report.  

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR AUDITOR 

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the 
company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During  the  financial  year,  the  company  has  not  paid  a  premium  in  respect  of  a  contract  to  insure  the  auditor  of  the 
company or any related entity. 

During  the  financial  year  the company  paid a  premium  to insure  each  of  the  directors against  liabilities  for  costs  and 
expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in a capacity of 
Director other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Group. The contract of insurance prohibits 
the disclosure of the nature of the liabilities covered and the amount of the premium paid. The Corporations Act does not 
require disclosure of the information in these circumstances.  

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY 

No  person  has applied  to  the  Court  under  section 237  of  the  Corporations  Act 2001  for  leave  to  bring  proceedings on 
behalf  of  the company,  or  to  intervene  in  any  proceedings to  which  the  company  is a  party  for  the  purpose  of  taking 
responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings.  

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

Details  of  the amounts  paid or  payable  to  the auditor for  non-audit  services  provided  during  the financial  year  by  the 
auditor are outlined in note 33 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 33 to the financial statements do not compromise 
the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
●  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 

of the auditor; and 

●  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, 
acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS 

The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with 
that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.  

AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION 

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors' report.

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 
MAAS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 JUNE 2023

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

The financial statements cover MAAS Group Holdings Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of MAAS Group Holdings 
Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is MAAS Group Holdings Limited's functional and presentation currency.  

MAAS Group Holdings Limited is an ASX listed company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  

A  description  of  the  nature  of  the  consolidated  entity's  operations  and  its  principal  activities  are  included  in  note  4  - 
Operating Segments.   

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 17 August 2023. The 
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  are  set  out  either  in  the 
respective  notes  or  below.  These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise 
stated.  

NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  that  are  mandatory  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  adoption  of 
these standards and interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the 
consolidated entity.  

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  are  based  on  historical  costs,  modified,  where 
applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  and  investment 
properties. Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less costs of disposal, with the exception of investment property 
held for sale which is measured at fair value. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

PARENT ENTITY INFORMATION 

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 36. 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the assets and  liabilities  of all subsidiaries of  MAAS  Group  Holdings 
Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. MAAS 
Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated 
entity'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from  the  date  on which control  is  transferred  to  the  consolidated  entity.  They  are  de-consolidated  from  the  date  that 
control ceases.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred.  Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistency  with  the 
policies adopted by the consolidated entity.  

The acquisition of subsidiaries in a business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting - 
refer note 37. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where 
the  difference  between  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest 
acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated 
entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results 
in a deficit balance. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The 
consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 

Functional and presentation currency 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is MAAS Group Holdings Limited’s 
functional and presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the 
transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally 
recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net 
investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within other gains/(losses). 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the 
date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported 
as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as 
equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and 
translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive 
income are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Group companies 

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation 
currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 
●  assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date 
● 

income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average 
exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the 
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and 

●  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  any  net  investment  in  foreign  entities,  and  of 
borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  designated  as  hedges  of  such  investments,  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, 
the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.  

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of 
the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Investments and other financial assets  

Classification 

The consolidated entity classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:  
● 

those  to  be  measured  subsequently  at  fair  value  (either  through  other  comprehensive  income  ("OCI"),  or  through 
profit or loss), and 
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

● 

The  classification  depends  on  the  consolidated  entity’s  business  model  for  managing  the  financial  assets  and  the 
contractual terms of the cash flows.  

For assets 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 consolidated entity has 
made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through 
other  comprehensive  income  (FVOCI).  The  consolidated  entity  reclassifies  debt  investments  when  and  only  when  its 
business model for managing those assets changes. 

Measurement 

At initial recognition, the consolidated entity measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset 
not  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  (FVPL),  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.  

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows 
are solely payment of principal and interest. Measurement of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables 
are measured at amortised cost. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Refer to note 9. 

Debt instruments 

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the consolidated entity's business model for managing the 
asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the consolidated 
entity classifies its debt instruments: 
●  Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely 
payments  of  principal  and  interest  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is 
included  in  finance  income  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  is 
recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and 
losses.  Impairment  losses  are  presented  as  a  separate  line  item  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income. 

●  FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ 
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying 
amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign 
exchange  gains  and  losses  which  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  When  the  financial  asset  is  derecognised,  the 
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other 
gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest 
rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are 
presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.  

●  FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt 
investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at  FVPL  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  presented  net  within  other 
gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. 

Equity instruments  

The consolidated entity subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. The consolidated entity measures its 
investments in equity instruments at FVPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other 
gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Investments 

Investments includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities where the 
consolidated entity has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. This category excludes 
financial assets that are held for an undefined period. Investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method adjusted for any principal repayments. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is 
derecognised or impaired. 

Impairment  

The  consolidated  entity  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 and contract assets, the consolidated entity applies the 
simplified  approach  permitted  by  AASB  9,  which  requires  expected  lifetime  losses  to  be  recognised  from  initial 
recognition of the trade receivables and contract assets. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected 
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where 
it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected 
credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present 
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 

At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may 
be impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable 
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying 
amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

FINANCE COSTS 

Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are included in the 
costs  of  qualifying  assets.  The  capitalisation  rate  used  to  determine  the  amount  of  finance  costs  to  be  capitalised  to 
qualifying assets is the weighted average interest rate applicable to the entity’s borrowings during the period.  

Finance costs include interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings, amortisation of discounts 
or  premiums  relating  to  borrowings,  amortisation  of  ancillary  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  the  arrangement  of 
borrowings, finance lease charges and certain exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. 

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ('GST') AND OTHER SIMILAR TAXES 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS 

The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with 
that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023. 
The  consolidated  entity  has  not  yet  assessed  the  impact  of  these  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations. 

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Management  continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and 
estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, 
estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates 
will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the 
next financial year are discussed below. 

Allowance for expected credit losses 

The  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  assessment  for  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets  requires  a  degree  of 
estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes 
assumptions  to  allocate  an  overall  expected  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group.  These  assumptions  include  recent  sales 
experience,  historical  collection  rates  and  forward-looking  information  that  is  available.  Refer  to  note  10  for  further 
information. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of 
technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives 
are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold 
will be written off or written down. There was no material adjustment required to the estimated useful lives of any assets 
during the financial year (2022: no adjustment). 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of 
cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of 
assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated 
future cash flows. Refer to note 18 for further information. 

Investment properties 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 
financial position. 

Investment properties are revalued annually by independent professional valuers or periodically at Directors' valuation. 
The critical inputs underlying the estimated fair value of investment properties are contained in note 30. Any change in 
these inputs may impact the fair value of the investment properties. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments  and  contingencies  are  disclosed  net  of  the  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax 
authority. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The  consolidated  entity  assesses  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life 
intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular 
asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. 
This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates 
and assumptions using information available at the reporting date.

NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONTINUED)

Incremental borrowing rate 

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to 
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such 
a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary 
to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. 

Business Combinations 

(i) Deferred consideration and contingent consideration 
The deferred consideration liability is the difference between the total purchase consideration, usually on an acquisition 
of a business combination, and the amounts paid or settled up to the reporting date, discounted to net present value. 
Contingent consideration included in Provisions (note 23), is measured at fair value and has been estimated using present 
value techniques by discounting the probability-weighted estimated cashflows. The future cashflows are contingent on 
certain hurdles being met in the future and where contingent consideration includes a variable number of shares, the 
contingent liability fair value is affected by the fluctuations in the company’s share price (on date of acquisition and each 
reporting date). The consolidated entity applies provisional accounting for any business combination. Any reassessment 
of  the  liability  during  the  earlier  of  the finalisation  of  the  provisional  accounting  or  12 months  from acquisition  date  is 
adjusted for retrospectively as part of the provisional accounting rules in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations. 
Thereafter, at each reporting date, the contingent consideration liability is reassessed against revised estimates and any 
increase or decrease in the fair value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss to profit or loss. The increase 
in the deferred consideration liability resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

(ii) Fair value of net assets acquired 
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and 
contingent  liabilities  assumed  are  initially  estimated  by  the  consolidated  entity  taking  into  consideration  all  available 
information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is 
retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the  combination  occurred  and  may  have  an  impact  on  the  assets  and 
liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. Refer to note 37 for further information. 

Rehabilitation provisions 

Restoration provisions are based on estimates of the future cost to rehabilitate currently disturbed areas. Future costs 
associated  with  dismantling  and  removing  assets  as  well  as  restoring  sites  to  the  required  condition  under  permit, 
requires  assumptions  of  removal  and  closure  dates,  application  of  environmental  legislation,  available  technologies, 
regulatory requirements, cost inflation and consultant cost estimates.  

NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Identification of reportable operating segments 

During  the  current  financial  year,  following  significant  growth 
in  the  commercial  real  estate  operations, 
management split  the  Real  Estate  segment  into  two  segments:  residential  and  commercial.  The  current  reportable 
segments  are:  Residential  Real  Estate;  Commercial  Real  Estate;  Civil,  Construction  and  Hire;  Manufacturing;  and 
Construction  Materials.  The  30  June  2022  comparatives  have  been  restated  to  reflect  these  changes.  The  reportable 
segments of the business are as follows: 

SEGMENT 

DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENT 

1. Residential Real Estate 

Develops, invests, builds and sells residential land and housing 

2. Commercial Real Estate 

Commercial Construction: builds and constructs commercial developments 
Commercial Development and Investment: delivers commercial property and 
industrial developments, and investing in commercial real estate 

3. Civil, Construction and Hire 

Civil Construction: civil infrastructure construction, roads, dams and mining 
infrastructure 
Plant Hire and Sales: above and underground plant hire for major infrastructure and 
tunnelling projects 
Electrical Services: electrical infrastructure, communications and specialised services 

4. Manufacturing 

Manufacturing, sales and distribution of underground construction and mining 
equipment and parts 

5. Construction Materials 

Quarries: supply of quarry materials and concrete to construction projects 
Crushing and Screening: mobile crushing and screening for quarries, civil works and 
mining 
Geotechnical services 
Asphalt Services 

Other 

This includes corporate 

The operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are 
identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation 
of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. 

At the operating segment level the CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) 
and EBIT. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the 
financial statements. 

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. 

Intersegment transactions 

Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation. 

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans 

Intersegment  loans  are  initially  recognised  at  the  consideration  received.  Intersegment  loans  receivable  and  loans 
payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment 
loans are eliminated on consolidation. 

Segment assets 

Segment assets are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the 
operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. 

Segment liabilities 

Segment liabilities are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These liabilities are allocated based on 
the operations of the segment. 

Major customers 

For  the  years  ended  30  June  2023  and  30  June  2022,  there  was  no  customer  who  contributed  more  than  10%  to  the 
consolidated entity's revenue.

ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION 

Construction - civil infrastructure  

The consolidated entity derives revenue from providing services to civil construction projects across Australia. Contracts 
entered into may be for the construction of one or several separate stages in a project (deliverables). The construction of 
each  individual  deliverable  is  generally  taken  to  be  one  performance  obligation.  Where  contracts  are  entered  for  the 
building of deliverables, the total transaction price is allocated across each deliverable based on stand-alone selling prices. 
The transaction price is normally fixed at the start of the project. It is normal practice for contracts to include bonus and 
penalty elements based on timely construction or other performance criteria known as variable consideration, discussed 
below.  

MAAS Group Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 5. Revenue (continued) 

NOTE 5. REVENUE (CONTINUED)

The performance obligation is fulfilled over time and as such revenue is recognised over time. As work is performed on 
the assets being constructed they are controlled by the customer and have no alternative use to the consolidated entity, 
with the consolidated entity having a right to payment for performance to date.  

Generally, contracts identify various inter-linked activities required in the construction process. Revenue is recognised on 
the measured output of each process based on appraisals that are agreed with the customer on a regular basis.  

Revenue earned is typically invoiced monthly or in some cases on achievement of milestones or to match major capital 
outlay.  

Invoices are paid on normal commercial terms, which may include the customer withholding a retention amount until 
finalisation of the construction. Certain construction projects entered into receive payment prior to work being performed 
in which case revenue is deferred on the statement of financial position. 

Construction - residential & commercial 

The  consolidated  entity  derives  revenue  from  the  construction  of  residential  houses  and  commercial  developments. 
Contracts entered into for the construction of a residential dwelling or commercial developments are to be taken to be 
one performance obligation and a stand-alone selling price. The performance obligation is fulfilled over time and as such 
revenue  is  recognised  over  time.  As  work  is  performed  on  the  assets  being  constructed  they  are  controlled  by  the 
customer and have no alternative use to the consolidated entity, with the consolidated entity having a right to payment 
for performance to date. 

Generally, contracts identify various inter-linked activities required in the construction process. Revenue is recognised on 
the  measured  input,  being  stage  of  completion  of  costs  incurred  against  budgeted  costs.  Stage  of  completion  is 
determined  with  reference  to  the  services  performed  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  anticipated  services  to  be 
performed.  

Customers are invoiced based on the achievement of milestones (included in the contract). Payment is received following 
invoice  on  normal  commercial  terms.  At  reporting  date,  the  amounts  invoiced  are  likely  to  differ  from  the  stage  of 
completion. The difference is recognised as either a contract asset or contract liability. 

Equipment and machinery hire 

The consolidated entity generates revenue from the provision of dry hire and wet hire of plant and equipment to many 
infrastructure  projects  throughout  Australia.  Contracts  include  separate  mobilisation  and  demobilisation  fees  and  a 
schedule of rates for the dry hire or wet hire. Dry hire revenue is generated from hire of equipment only, no supply of 
driver, maintenance or fuel, whereas wet hire includes a driver and can include maintenance services and fuel.  

These form of contracts may vary in scope however all wet hires have one common performance obligation, being the 
provision  of  equipment  and  driver  to  the  customer  which  includes  mobilisation  and  dismantling,  and  maintenance 
services and any ancillary materials that are required to fulfil the obligation. 

The mobilisation fees, maintenance services and ancillary materials are generally taken to be one performance obligation 
as the customer does not benefit from these services on its own, are not considered distinct and therefore are grouped 
with other items in the contract, being the hire of equipment. 

Equipment and machinery rental periods are typically short-term and is recognised at fixed rates over the period of hire. 
Customers are in general invoiced on a monthly basis and payment is received following invoice on normal commercial 
terms.  

Electrical service revenue 

The consolidated entity performs electrical services specialising in underground and overhead power line construction 
and High Voltage and Low Voltage cable jointing for supply authorities and mining professionals. Contracts may include 
multiple processes required to be performed for each milestone set in the project. Milestones may be performed by the 
Group  or  by  other  contractors  employed  by  the  customer and  as  such  are accounted  for  as  separate  obligations.  The 
transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price. The total transaction 
price  may  include  a  variable  pricing  element  which  is  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  policy  on  variable 
consideration. 

Performance obligations are fulfilled over time with revenue recognised in the accounting period in which the electrical 
services are rendered based on the amount of the expected transaction price allocated to each performance obligation 
as the customer continues to control the asset as it is enhanced.

NOTE 5. REVENUE (CONTINUED)

Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on a schedule of rates that is aligned 
with  the  stand  alone  selling  prices  for  each  performance  obligation.  Payment  is  received  following  invoice  on  normal 
commercial terms. 

Service revenue: repairs 

The consolidated entity performs repairs to machinery in the underground mining, tunnelling, civil construction and rail 
industries.  Contracts  include  a  schedule  of  rates  that  is  aligned  with  the  stand  alone  selling  prices  of  the  service 
provided. The  performance  obligation  is  fulfilled  over  time  and  as  such  revenue  is  recognised  over  time  because  the 
customer  simultaneously  receives  and  consumes  the  benefits  provided  by  the  entity’s  performance.  Revenue  is 
recognised on the measured output with reference to the services performed to date. 

Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on a schedule of rates that is aligned 
with  the  stand  alone  selling  prices  for  each  performance  obligation.  Payment  is  received  following  invoice  on  normal 
commercial terms.  

Sales of goods – plant, equipment, parts, building materials, road-base, concrete and asphalt 

The consolidated entity sells plant, equipment, parts, building materials, road-base, concrete and asphalt. Sale of these 
goods usually contains only one performance obligation, with revenue recognised at the point in time when the material 
is transferred to the customer. The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. In most cases, 
the consideration is due when the goods have been transferred to the customer.  

Land development and resale 

The consolidated entity develops and sells residential properties. Property revenue is recognised when control over the 
property  has  been  transferred  to  the  customer.  This  is  generally  at  the  point  when  legal  title  has  transferred  to  the 
customer as properties are not developed based on the specific needs of individual customers. The revenue is measured 
at the transaction price agreed under the contract. 

Geotechnical services 

The consolidated entity provides a range of Geotechnical consulting services to its clients including onsite earthworks 
testing, lab materials testing, geotechnical investigations & drilling, and concrete testing. Individual contracts are typically 
short-term in nature and relate to a discrete project or asset. Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which 
the  services  are  rendered,  at a  point-in-time  when  the results are  provided  to  the client  (the  performance  obligation). 
Payment is generally due within 30 days from completion of the services. Consulting services are generally short-term in 
nature with most contracts completed within 30 days. 

Manufacturing sales 

The consolidated entity recognises a contract asset over the period in which the performance obligation is fulfilled and 
recognises contract liabilities arise where payments are received prior to work being performed. Revenue is recognised 
at the point in time when the manufactured machine is transferred to the customer. Manufacturing sales are included in 
Sale of goods - plant, equipment, parts, road-base and aggregates revenue stream. 

Variable consideration  

It  is  common  for  contracts  to  include  performance  bonuses  or  penalties  assessed  against  the  timeliness  or  cost 
effectiveness  of  work  completed  or  other  performance  related  KPIs.  Where  consideration  in  respect  of  a  contract  is 
variable,  the  expected  value  of  revenue  is  only  recognised  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable 
consideration  is  subsequently  resolved,  known  as  “constraint”  requirements.  The  consolidated  entity  assesses  the 
constraint requirements on a periodic basis when estimating the variable consideration to be included in the transaction 
price. The estimate is based on all available information including historic performance. Where modifications in design or 
contract  requirements  are  entered  into,  the  transaction  price  is  updated  to  reflect  these.  Where  the  price  of  the 
modification has not been confirmed, an estimate is made of the amount of revenue to recognise whilst also considering 
the constraint requirement.

Note 5. Revenue (continued) 

NOTE 5. REVENUE (CONTINUED)

Contract assets and liabilities  

AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued revenue’ 
and  ‘deferred  revenue’.  Contract  assets  are  balances  due  from  customers  under  contracts  as  work  is  performed  and 
therefore a contract asset is recognised over the period in which the performance obligation is fulfilled. This represents 
the entity’s right to consideration for the services transferred to date. Amounts are generally reclassified to receivables 
when these have been certified or invoiced to a customer. Contract liabilities arise where payment is received prior to 
work being performed. 

Warranties and defect periods  

Generally construction and services contracts include defect and warranty periods following completion of the project. 
These obligations are not deemed to be separate performance obligations and therefore estimated and included in the 
total  costs  of  the  contracts.  Where  required,  amounts  are  recognised  accordingly  in  line  with  AASB  137  Provisions, 
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.  

Loss making contracts  

A  provision  is  made  for  the  difference  between  the  expected  cost  of  fulfilling  a  contract  and  the  expected  unearned 
portion of the transaction price where the forecast costs are greater than the forecast revenue. 

Dividends and interest 

Dividend  revenue  is  recognised  when  the  right  to  receive  a  dividend  has  been  established,  and  interest  revenue  is 
recognised using the effective interest method. 

Rent 

Rent  revenue  from  investment  properties  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term.  Lease  incentives 
granted are recognised as part of the rental revenue. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the period when 
earned.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Accounting policy for income tax 

The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except 
for: 
●  when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or 

●  when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the 
timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future.

Accounting policy for cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash 
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

NOTE 10. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available 
for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it 
is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

MAAS Group Holdings Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax 
consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group 
continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate 
taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to  members  of  the  tax 
consolidated group. 

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts,  the  head  entity  also  recognises  the  current  tax  liabilities  (or 
assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary 
in the tax consolidated group. 

The  company,  in  conjunction  with  other  members  of  the  tax-consolidated  group,  has  entered  into  a  tax  funding 
arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax-consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. 
The tax funding arrangements require payments to/from the head entity equal to the current tax liability (asset) assumed 
by the head entity and any tax-loss deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the company recognising 
an  inter-entity  payable  (receivable)  equal  in  amount  to  the  tax  liability  (asset)  assumed.  The  inter-entity  payable 
(receivable) is at call. Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and 
reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities. 

The  company,  in  conjunction  with  other  members  of  the  tax-consolidated  group,  has  also  entered  into  a  tax  sharing 
agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between 
the  entities  should  the  head  entity  default  on  its  tax  payment  obligations.  No  amounts  have  been  recognised  in  the 
financial  statements  in  respect  of  this  agreement  as  payment  of  any  amounts  under  the  tax  sharing  agreement  is 
considered remote.

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary 
course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified 
as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.  

Trade  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  the  amount  of  consideration  that  is  unconditional  unless  they  contain 
significant  financing  components,  when  they  are  recognised  at  fair  value.  The  consolidated  entity  holds  the  trade 
receivables  with  the  objective  to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows  and  therefore  measures  them  subsequently  at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

(a) Fair values of trade and other receivables 
Due to the short term nature of the current receivables, the carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair 
value.

(b) Other receivables at amortised cost 
These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the consolidated entity. Interest 
is charged at commercial rates where the  repayment exceeds 12 months. Collateral is not normally obtained. The non-
current receivables are due and payable within 2 years from the end of the reporting period. 

- Raw materials, finished goods and parts 
Raw materials, finished goods and parts are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Cost comprises direct 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure. Costs of purchased 
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

(c) Impairment and risk exposure 
Note 29 sets out information of financial assets and exposure to credit risk. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion 
and selling expenses. 

Refer note 29 for the consolidated entity's exposure to foreign currency risk.

The increase in contract assets of $7.155m was driven by both the Civil, Construction and Hire and Commercial Real Estate 
Segments. In  the  Civil,  Construction  and  Hire  segment,  an  increase  in  both  the  number  and  value  of  projects  due  to 
organic  growth  and  the  acquisition  of  Schwarz  Excavations  resulted  in  the  higher  contract  asset  movement.  In  the 
Commercial Real Estate segment, an increase in both the number and value of projects due to growth resulted in the 
higher movement. 

Accounting policy for contract assets 

Contract assets are recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred goods or services to the customer but where 
the consolidated entity is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration. Contract assets are treated as financial 
assets for impairment purposes.

The investment properties held for sale at 30 June 2023 consisted of a commercial property with a fair value of $2.000m,

Accounting policy for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale 

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered 
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying 
amount  and  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal.  Investments  properties  held  for  sale  are  measured  at  fair  value.  For  non-
current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in 
their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. 

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal 
groups  to  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal.  A  gain  is  recognised  for  any  subsequent  increases  in  fair  value  less  costs  of 
disposal  of  a  non-current  assets  and  assets  of  disposal  groups,  but  not  in  excess  of  any  cumulative  impairment  loss 
previously recognised. 

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses 
attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised. 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of  disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented 
separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified 
as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

Associates  are  entities  over  which  the  consolidated  entity  has  significant  influence  but  not  control  or  joint  control. 
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits 
or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other 
comprehensive  income.  Investments  in  associates  are  carried  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  at  cost  plus  post-
acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is 
included  in  the  carrying  amount  of  the  investment  and  is  neither  amortised  nor  individually  tested  for  impairment. 
Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 

When the consolidated entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any 
unsecured  long-term  receivables,  the  consolidated  entity  does  not  recognise  further  losses,  unless  it  has  incurred 
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. 

The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate 
and  recognises  any  retained  investment  at  its  fair  value.  Any  difference  between  the  associate's  carrying  amount,  fair 
value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

The investment properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with rentals payable monthly. Lease payments 
for some contracts include CPI increases. Where considered necessary to reduce credit risk, the consolidated entity may 
obtain bank guarantees for the term of the lease. 

Although  the  consolidated  entity  is  exposed  to  changes  in  the  residual  value  at  the  end  of  the  current  leases,  the 
consolidated entity typically enters into new operating leases and therefore will not immediately realise any reduction in 
residual value at the end of these leases. Expectations about the future residual values are reflected in the fair value of the 
properties.

Accounting policy for investment properties 

Investment  properties  principally  comprise  of  freehold  land  and  buildings  held  for  long-term  rental  and  capital 
appreciation  that  are  not  occupied  by  the  consolidated  entity.  Investment  properties  are  initially  recognised  at  cost, 
including  transaction  costs,  and  are  subsequently  remeasured  annually  at  fair  value.  Movements  in  fair  value  are 
recognised directly to profit or loss. 

Investment properties are derecognised when disposed of or when there is no future economic benefit expected. 

Transfers to and from investment properties to inventories are determined by a change in use evidenced by internal and 
external factors. During the period, the group transferred Build-to-Rent land to investment property. The fair value on the 
date of change of use from investment properties to inventories and vice-versa is deemed the cost for the subsequent 
accounting. 

Investment  properties  also  include  properties  under  construction  for  future  use  as  investment  properties.  These  are 
carried at fair value, or at cost where fair value cannot be reliably determined and the construction is incomplete.

All property, plant and equipment except for land and assets under construction, are measured on the  cost basis and 
therefore  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment.  In  the  event  the  carrying 
amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  greater  than  the  estimated  recoverable  amount,  the  carrying  amount  is 
written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised through profit or 
loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. 

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of 
the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash 
flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been 
discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of 
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during 
the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation: 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including land improvements, quarry land & buildings, but excluding freehold 
land, is depreciated on either the diminishing value method or units of production method over the asset’s useful life to 
the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Estimated useful lives for each class of 
depreciable asset are as follows: 

Quarry land 
Buildings 
Leasehold improvements 
Hire equipment and machinery 
Plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 

6-65 years 
2-10 years 
20-25 years 
3-10 years 
3-10 years 
4-8 years 

Quarry land is amortised based on the rate of annual depletion of reserves over the estimated reserves. The remaining 
useful life of each asset is reassessed at regular intervals. Where there is a change during the period to the useful life of 
the mineral reserve, amortisation rates are adjusted prospectively from the beginning of the reporting period.  

Right-of-use assets included in property, plant & equipment is summarised below: 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Buildings, plant and equipment, and motor vehicles under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease 
or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. If the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise a 
purchase option, the right of use asset is depreciated over the underlying assets useful life. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  is 
greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses 
are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.  

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in 
the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, 
and restoring the site or asset.

NOTE 18. INTANGIBLES (CONTINUED)

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset 
at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment 
or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.  

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less (without extension option) and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these 
assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. 

Impairment testing for goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives: 

The calculations use cash flow projections based on cash flow forecasts covering a five-year period. The cash flows are 
based on past results adjusted for current market conditions and known contracts. Cash flows beyond the five-year period 
are  extrapolated  using  the  estimated  growth  rates  stated  below.  These  growth  rates  are  consistent  with  forecasts 
included in industry reports specific to the industry in which each CGU operates.  

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are monitored by management at the following level:

Given the consolidated entity is structured in a vertically integrated manner, recent acquisitions of the consolidated entity 
are used to generate cashflows that are not independent from other assets of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the 
Schwarz  acquisition  is  reported  within  the  Civil,  Construction  and  Hire  operating  segment  and  both  the  Dandy  and 
Clermont  acquisitions  are  reported  within  the  Construction  Materials  operating  segment.  As  a  result  of  the  Austek 
acquisition, one new CGU exists in the Construction Materials segment, this is the Asphalt Services CGU. The Electrical, 
Homes  Constructions,  Commercial  Constructions,  Commercial  Developments,  Manufacturing  and  Building  Materials 
remain unchanged from the comparative period and represent their respective operating segments.

(a)  This  is  the  weighted  average  growth  rate  used  to  extrapolate  cash  flows  beyond  the  budget  period.  The  rates  are 

consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. 

(b)  Reflects specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate. In performing the 
value-in-use calculations for each CGU, the consolidated entity has  applied post-tax discount rates to discount the 
forecast future attributable post-tax cash flows. The equivalent pre-tax rates are disclosed in the table. 

The annual sales growth rate used within value-in-use assessments vary and are based on a mixture of past performance, 
management’s expectations of market development and internal growth benchmarks. 

There is a risk that any erosion of future economic conditions, caused by persistent inflation or rising interest rates, could 
impact  the  consolidated  entity’s  products  and  services  offered,  customers,  supply  chain,  staffing  and  geographical 
regions in which the group operates. Judgment has been used in considering the impact of economic erosion on the 
assumptions  used  in  the  value  in  use  calculations  noting  that  assumptions  have  been  determined  with  reference  to 
current and historical performance and current independent expert economists' forecasts. As the value in use recoverable 
amount  across  all  CGUs  significantly  exceed  their  respective  carrying  value,  the  Group  expects  that  any  reasonably 
possible  adverse  change  in  the  value  in  use  model  assumptions  in  isolation  or  combination  would  not  result  in  an 
impairment. 

Sensitivity 
Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing. Should judgements and estimates 
not occur, the carrying value of goodwill may vary. Any reasonable change in the key assumptions on which the estimates 
and/or discount rate are based would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.  

Accounting policy for intangible assets 

Intangible assets that are acquired are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and 
are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost 
less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of 
intangible  assets  are  measured  as  the  difference  between  net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected 
pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. 

Brand names 

Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried 
at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the Cash Generating Units (“CGU”) expected to benefit 
from the combination’s synergies. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU to which 
the goodwill relates. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require 
the use of assumptions.

Accounting policy for trade and other payables 

Trade  payables  are  amounts  due  to  suppliers  for  goods  purchased  or  services  provided  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business. Trade payables are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. 

Other payables and accrued expenses generally arise from normal transactions within the usual operating activities of 
the consolidated entity and comprise items such as employee taxes, employee on costs and other recurring items. 

A liability is recorded for goods and services received prior to balance date, whether invoiced to the consolidated entity 
or not. Trade payables are normally settled within 45 days. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short 
term nature.

Under the terms of contract the consolidated entity is sometimes required to provide performance guarantees (refer note 
31). 

Brand names acquired in a business combination that qualify for separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets 
at their fair values. Brand names are not amortised on the basis that they have an indefinite life and are reviewed annually.  

The  decrease  in  contract  liabilities  was  driven  by  the  delivery  of  a  large  number  of  machines  by  the  Manufacturing 
segment for which deposits were received prior to June 2022 ($3.354m). 

Customer contracts/relationships 

Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 3-5 years. 

Extraction rights 

Extraction rights are amortised over the life of the lease hold inclusive of any available option periods.

Note 21. Borrowings and lease liabilities (continued) 

NOTE 21. BORROWINGS AND LEASE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Bank loans and multi-option facility 
In  November  2022,  the  company  received  approval  for  the  increase  of  its  banking  facility  limits  from  $500.000m  to 
$600.000m, consisting of a $85.000m increase to the term loan and a $15.000m increase to the hire purchase facility. The 
increased facility will provide additional liquidity to the company under a common terms deed arrangement. $165.000m 
of the $600.000m facility relates to a hire purchase facility whilst the balance of the facilities comprised a term loan, and 
a  multi-option  cash  advance  and  bank  guarantee  facility.  The  multi-option  facility  is  an  interchangeable  bank  facility 
which allows the company to change between cash advances and contract performance guarantees. The balance of the 
contract performance guarantees as at 30 June 2023 amounted to $38.545m (refer note 31). The term loan has a 3-year 
term  and  is  non-amortising.  The  multi-option  facility  also  has  a  3-year  term  with  maturity  in  FY25  and  an  annual 
requirement to fully repay the cash advance component for a period of 7 consecutive days. The repaid amount is then 
able to be redrawn after the 7-day period. The facilities are secured by a combination of General Security Agreements and 
mortgages over Australian group assets and property interests. Interest on the bank loans is calculated using the Bank 
Bill Swap (BBSY) Bid rate plus a relevant margin. Total transaction costs were $2.308m and unamortised transaction costs 
of $0.650m have been offset against the bank loans at 30 June 2023. 

Included in bank loans is a 60 billion VND facility in Vietnam which is secured by land use rights and related assets. The 
facility can be denominated in the currencies of VND or USD and attracts interest rates of 6.5% for VND and 4.4% for USD. 
The loan is denominated in VND. 

(b) Vendor Financing 
Loans relate to land held for resale and development and are secured against the respective assets. Vendor financing 
loans comprise the following: 

Southlakes (i) 
Arcadia (ii) 
Logan (iii) 
Gilgandra (iv) 
Veravista (v) 
Ellida (vi)

payment due 1st of March 2030. 

(iii) Logan  -  Interest  free  loan  of  $1.033m  with  penalty  interest  of  10%  charged  only  on  late  payments.  The  facility  was 
secured  by  assets  acquired  and  the  loan  was  repaid  in  2  instalments  of  $0.516m  due  each  anniversary  of  the 
transaction completion date: 26 August 2021 and 26 August 2022. 

(iv) Gilgandra  -  loan of  $2.750m with  penalty interest  charged  at  the  bank  bill  swap rate  plus 6%  charged  only  on  late

Development Application has been approved. 

All  loan  repayments  scheduled  since  the  reporting  period  and  up  to  the  date  to  when  the  financial  statements  were 
authorised to issue have been paid.

NOTE 21. BORROWINGS AND LEASE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Lease liabilities 
Plant & equipment and motor vehicles: 
The consolidated entity leases various plant and equipment under finance lease and hire purchase. The leases are secured 
over the individual motor vehicles and equipment that the lease relates to. 

Refer to note 17 for right-of-use assets disclosures relating to plant & equipment and motor vehicles under hire purchase. 

Land and buildings: 
The consolidated entity has leases for warehouses and offices. Rental contracts are typically made for a fixed period of 3 - 
5 years with options to extend. With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low value underlying assets, each 
lease  is  reflected  on  the  statement  of  financial  position.  The  consolidated  entity  classifies  its  right-of-use  assets  in  a 
consistent manner to its property, plant and equipment. Most extension options have been included in the lease liability. 

Refer to note 17 for right-of-use assets disclosures relating to the land and buildings. 

Fair value 

The  fair  values  of  borrowings  are  not  materially  different  from  their  carrying  amounts,  since  the  interest  payable  on 
borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short term nature. 

Compliance with loan covenants 

The consolidated entity has complied with the financial covenants of its borrowing facilities during the 2023 and 2022 
reporting periods. 

Financing arrangements 

The consolidated entity had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

*  The used bank loan facility excludes borrowing costs capitalised. 
**  The used multi-option facility includes performance guarantees of $38.545m (2022: $30.297m) - refer note 31. 

Accounting policy for borrowings 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over 
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs on the establishment of loan facilities 
are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn 
down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs.  

Borrowings  are  removed  from  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the 
contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has 
been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred 
or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 

Accounting policy for lease liabilities 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or,  if  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  consolidated  entity's  incremental  borrowing  rate.  Lease  payments 
comprise of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease 
payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price 
of  a  purchase  option  when  the  exercise  of  the  option  is  reasonably  certain  to  occur,  and  any  anticipated  termination 
penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred.  

Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  carrying  amounts  are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; 
residual  guarantee;  lease  term;  certainty  of  a  purchase  option  and  termination  penalties.  When  a  lease  liability  is 
remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of 
the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is presented as provision for employee benefits. All other 
short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

NOTE 22. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

Other long-term employee benefits 

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up 
to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary 
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market 
yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely 
as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Other long-term employee benefits 

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the 
end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee 
benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees  up  to  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields 
at the end of the reporting period on corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows. 

The  consolidated  entity's  obligations  for  long-term  employee  benefits  are  presented  as  non-current  provision  for 
employee benefits the consolidated statement of financial position, except where the consolidated entity does not have 
an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the 
obligations are presented as a current provision for employee benefits.

Close-down and restoration costs include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual 
materials  and  remediation  of  disturbed  areas.  Provisions  for  close-down  and  restoration  costs  do  not  include  any 
additional obligations which are expected to arise from future disturbance. The costs are based on the net present value 
of  the  estimated  future  costs of a site  closure  plan.  Estimated  changes  resulting  from  new  disturbance,  updated  cost 
estimates  including  information  from  tenders,  changes  to  the  lives  of  operations  and  revisions  to  discount  rates  are 
capitalised within property, plant and equipment. These costs are then depreciated over the lives of the assets to which 
they relate. The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is 
charged to the statement of profit or loss in each period as part of finance costs.

Contingent consideration 

The contingent consideration at 30 June 2023 relates to the acquisition of Schwarz, Dandy and Austek (refer note 37) and 
includes  the  balance  outstanding  for  the  acquisitions  completed  in  the  2021  and  2022  financial  years.  The  contingent 
consideration at 30 June 2022 relates to the acquisition of A1 Earthworx, Maas Brothers, Stanaway, Brett Harvey, Inverell, 
Blackwater Quarries, and Garde completed in the 2022 financial year, and includes the balance outstanding for the Amcor 
acquisition that was completed in the 2021 financial year. 

Warranties 

The provision represents the estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the 
reporting  date.  The  provision  is  estimated  based  on  historical  warranty  claim  information,  sales  levels  and  any  recent 
trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

Accounting policy for provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past 
event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made 
of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required 
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the 
obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the 
liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Refer to note 37 for accounting policy on contingent consideration.

NOTE 24. ISSUED CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

Capital risk management 

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that  it  can  provide  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other  stakeholders  and  to  maintain  an  optimum  capital 
structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment.  

Foreign currency reserve 

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all 
capital  risk  management  decisions.  There  have  been  no  events  of  default  on  the  financing  arrangements  during  the 
financial year. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2022 financial report. 

Accounting policy for issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.  

The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign 
operations to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on hedges of the net investments in foreign 
operations. 

Share-based payments reserve 

The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  the  value  of  equity  benefits  provided  to  employees  and  directors  as  part  of  their 
remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services. 

Business combinations under common control 

Any  difference  between  the  cost  of  the  acquisition  and  the  amounts  at  which  the  acquired  assets  and  liabilities  are 
recorded for business combinations under common control have been recognised in the Business combinations under 
common control reserve.

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price 
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses 
on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance 
of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is 
exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, 
ageing analysis for credit risk. 

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the consolidated entity’s risk management objectives and 
policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for day to day management 
of these risks to the Chief Financial Officer. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as 
far  as  possible  without  unduly  affecting  the  Group’s  competitiveness  and  flexibility. Further  details  regarding  these 
policies are set out below: 

Market risk 

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradeable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that 
the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate 
risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). 

Foreign currency risk 

The  consolidated  entity  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at 
the reporting date, shown in Australian Dollars, were as follows: 

Consolidated 

The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for: 
● 
● 
● 

franking credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax at the reporting date 
franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date 
franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date 

Dividend reinvestment plan 

During  the  year,  the  company  had  a  Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan  (DRP)  in  operation.  Under  the  DRP,  eligible 
shareholders elected  to  have  dividends  and  some  or  all  of  their  ordinary  shares  automatically  reinvested  in  additional 
MGH shares at a discount to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 5 days immediately after the day after 
the record date. The Board determined that the discount to the VWAP was 2.5%. No DRP is applicable for FY23 dividends, 

 See note 24 for more information on MGH’s issued capital. 

Dividends not recognised at the end of the reporting period 

In addition to the above dividends, since year end the Directors have recommended the payment of a final dividend of 
3.0 cents per fully paid ordinary share (refer to note 39).  

Accounting policy for dividends 

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year.

30 JUNE 2023

NOTE 29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

The  consolidated  entity  had  net  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  of  $1.423m as  at  30  June  2023  (2022:  net 
liabilities  of  $4.515m).  Based  on  this  exposure,  had  the  Australian  dollar  weakened/strengthened  by  10%  (2022: 
weakened/strengthened by 10%) against these foreign currencies with all other variables held constant, the consolidated 
entity's  profit  before  tax  for  the  year  would  have  been  $0.142m  lower/higher  (2022:  $0.452m  lower/higher)  and  equity 
would  have  been  $0.142m  lower/higher  (2022:  $0.452m  lower/higher).  The  percentage  change  is  the  expected  overall 
volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management's assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations 
taking into consideration movements over the last 12 months each year and the spot rate at each reporting date.  

Price risk 

The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates 
expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the consolidated entity to 
fair value interest rate risk. 

As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate borrowings:

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in 'liquidity' below. 

The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts forecasts.  

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has a strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming  references  and  setting  appropriate  credit  limits.  The  consolidated  entity  obtains  guarantees  where 
appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial 
assets  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for  impairment  of  those  assets,  as  disclosed  in  the  statement  of 
financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral. 

The consolidated entity assess on a forward-looking basis in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables and 
contract assets. The simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses has been applied. To measure the risk of 
expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days past due and reviewed by management at 
the business unit level. Where any issues are highlighted that indicate that the consolidated entity may be exposed to 
expected credit losses, the issues are reported to executive management for consideration and the establishment of an 
action plan. Should expected credit losses not materialise in the future, the provision may be reversed based dependent 
on the existence of expected credit losses. The provision at year-end is considered representative across all customers of 
the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates, and forward-looking information that 
is available.

NOTE 29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Liquidity risk 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities 
by  continuously  monitoring  actual  and  forecast  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities. 

Remaining contractual maturities 

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on 
which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed 
as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed 
above. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include 
the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual 
payments for a period greater than 1 year. 

Fair value of financial instruments 

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair values.

NOTE 30. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT 

Fair value hierarchy 

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three 
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 
Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets for  identical  assets or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can access at  the 
measurement date 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 1 

The fair values of listed equity securities are based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted 
market price used for financial assets held by the consolidated entity is the bid price.  

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 

- Investment properties 
Investment properties are revalued annually based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property 
Institute having recent experience in the location and category of investment property being valued or periodically at 
Directors’ valuation. Valuers have considered valuation techniques including direct comparison method, capitalisation 
approach and/or discounted cash flow analysis in arriving at the fair values as at the reporting date.  

The direct comparison method involves the analysis of comparable sales of similar properties and adjusting the sale prices 
to  that  reflective  of  the  investment  properties.  The  capitalisation approach  captures an  income  stream  into a  present 
value  using  revenue  multipliers  or  single-year  capitalisation  rates.  The  discounted  cash  flow  method  involves  the 
estimation and projection of an income stream over a period and discounting the income stream with an expected rate 
of return. 

All resulting fair value estimates for properties are included in level 3. Investment properties that are held for sale at the 
reporting date and which were valued at their selling price, have been included in level 2. 

- Contingent consideration 
Where there are EBITDA hurdles the fair value of the contingent cash consideration has been estimated using present 
value  techniques,  by  discounting  the  probability-weighted  estimated  future  cash  outflows.  The  fair  value  of  the 
contingent share consideration has been estimated based on the probability of achieving future hurdles which impacts 
the number of shares to be issued, using the share price (at acquisition date and reporting date).

Accounting policy for fair value measurement 

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its 
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications are reviewed  at  each  reporting  date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement.

NOTE 30. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and reputation. Where  there  is a  significant change  in  fair value of an  asset  or  liability  from one  period  to another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data.

the additional depreciation and amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments

consequential tax effects.

NOTE 37. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 37. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

For 30 June 2022, this business combination had initially been accounted for on a provisional basis in accordance with 
AASB 3 Business combinations. Therefore the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially estimated 
by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments 
on  the  finalisation  of  the  business  combination  accounting  is  retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the 
combination  occurred  and  therefore  may  have  an  impact  on  the  assets  and  liabilities,  depreciation  and  amortisation 
reported. 

The consolidated entity has finalised the accounting for this business combination and in doing so adjusted assets and 
liabilities  shown in  the  table below. These adjustments  resulted  in an  increase  in  goodwill  being  recognised. As  noted 
above the finalisation accounting is retrospective and therefore the adjustment impacts the 30 June 2022 financial year. 
These adjustments had no impact on the 30 June 2022 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.  

Details of the fair value of the net assets acquired as recorded on a provisional basis and the final position as impacting 
the fair value of net assets acquired as at 30 June 2022, are as follows: 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling 
interest  in  the  acquiree  and  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  fair  value  of  any  pre-existing 
investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is 
less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is 
recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the 
identification  and  measurement  of  the  net  assets  acquired,  the  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree,  if  any,  the 
consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional  amounts  recognised  and  also  recognises  additional  assets  or  liabilities  during  the  measurement  period, 
based  on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The 
measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer 
receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Accounting policy for business combinations 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations, unless it is a combination involving 
entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments 
issued  or  liabilities  incurred  by  the  acquirer  to  former  owners  of  the  acquiree  and  the  amount  of  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either 
fair  value  or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for 
appropriate  classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms,  economic  conditions,  the 
consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  consolidated  entity  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity 
interest  in  the  acquiree  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  and  the  difference  between  the  fair  value  and  the  previous 
carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within 
equity.

Set out below are summaries of share rights and the performance rights: 

Basic earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share 

Accounting policy for earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of MAAS Group Holdings Limited, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the 
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential 
ordinary shares.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share rights and performance rights outstanding at the end of the 
financial year was 1.42 years (2022: 2.42 years). 

Those granted a performance right, upon vesting, are entitled to receive one ordinary share per performance right held. 
Performance rights that have vested but have not yet been issued are disclosed above as they have not expired as at 30 
June 2023. 

Accounting policy for share-based payments 

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of 
cash is determined by reference to the share price.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 42. Share-based payments (continued) 
30 JUNE 2023

NOTE 41. EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of 
the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions 
that  do  not  determine  whether  the  consolidated  entity  receives  the  services  that  entitle  the  employees  to  receive 
payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either 
the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the 
award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
●  during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by 

● 

the expired portion of the vesting period. 
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date. 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid 
to settle the liability. 

Market  conditions  are  taken  into  consideration  in  determining  fair  value.  Therefore  any  awards  subject  to  market 
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other 
conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition 
is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not 
satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, 
unless the award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of MAAS Group Holdings Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of MAAS Group 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 report, including a summary of significant accounting policies 
and the directors’ declaration. 

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and 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 of 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.  

Revenue recognition 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The assessment of revenue recognition was 
significant to our audit because revenue is a 
material balance in the financial statements for 
the year ended 30 June 2023 and the Group 
derives revenue from a significant number of 
streams. 

The assessment of revenue recognition and 
measurement required significant auditor 
effort. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•

•

•

•

Assessing the revenue recognition policy for
compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers

Documenting the processes and assessing the
internal controls relating to revenue
processing and recognition

Tracing a sample of revenue transactions to
supporting documentation

Assessing the adequacy of the Group's
disclosures within the financial statements.

Valuation and disclosures of non-financial assets including goodwill and indefinite life intangibles 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Group’s disclosures in respect to intangible 
assets, including the impairment assessments 
of goodwill and other intangible assets are 
included in Note 18. 

The carrying value of intangible assets 
represent a significant asset of the Group. 

The Group is required to annually test the 
amount of goodwill and indefinite useful life 
intangible assets for impairment and assess 
other intangible assets for impairment 
indicators. This annual impairment test was 
significant to our audit because the goodwill 
and intangible assets balance is material to the 
financial statements and because 
management’s assessment process is complex, 
highly judgmental and includes estimates and 
assumptions relating to expected future market 
or economic conditions. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

Evaluating management’s determination of the
Group’s Cash Generating Units ("CGU's") to
ensure they are appropriate, including being
at a level no higher than the operating
segments of the Group

Evaluating management’s process regarding
the valuation of the Group’s goodwill and
other intangible assets

Assessing the Group’s assumptions and
estimates relating to forecast revenue, costs,
capital expenditure, discount rates and growth
rates

Involving our internal specialists to assess the
discount rates against comparable market
information

Assessing the disclosures related to the
impairment assessment by comparing these
disclosures to our understanding of the matter
and the applicable accounting standards

Challenging key assumptions by performing
sensitivity analysis on the growth rates and
discount rate assumptions used.

Business combinations 

Investment Properties 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Group’s disclosures in respect to business 
combinations are included in Note 37. 

The audit of the accounting for the business 
combinations is a key audit matter due to the 
significant judgment and complexity involved 
in assessing the determination of the fair 
value of identifiable intangible assets and the 
consideration paid/payable. 

The assessment of business combinations 
required significant auditor effort. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Obtaining an understanding of the transactions
including an assessment of the accounting
acquirer and whether the transaction
constituted a business or an asset acquisition

Comparing the assets and liabilities
recognised on acquisition against the historical
financial information

Evaluating management’s assessment of the fair
value of the consideration paid/payable

Evaluating management’s assessment of the
identifiable assets and liabilities acquired

Engaging with internal experts on the
appropriateness of the calculation of
identifiable intangible assets

Assessing the adequacy of the Group's
disclosures of the acquisitions

Evaluating management’s assessment of each of
the contingent amounts booked at acquisition
date and reporting date, including the
accounting for contingent consideration in the
form of shares or cash

Reviewing and challenging management’s
assumptions in respect of the probability of
occurrence linked to financial hurdles and non-
financial hurdles, at initial recognition.

The balance of investment properties is 
material and determining the fair value 
involves significant judgements. 

Significant auditor effort and focus was 
required on this balance resulting in this 
being a key audit matter for our audit. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•

•

•

•

•

Evaluating management’s assessment of the fair 
value of the properties by obtaining external 
valuations for investment properties held at year 
end

Assessing the professional competence and 
objectivity of the valuer and evaluate the 
appropriateness of the methods and assumptions 
used

Reviewing management’s classification of assets 
to ensure classification in the financial 
statements is in accordance with AASB 140 
Investment Property

Evaluation of capitalised costs recognised and 
challenging management on the appropriateness 
of the treatment in accordance with AASB 140 
Investment Property

Critically assessing the disclosures in relation to 
the determination of the fair value of the 
investment properties by comparing these 
disclosures to the external valuations obtained 
and our understanding of the applicable 
accounting standards.

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.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
