MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016Demonstrating resilience 
through the cycle 

2016 has seen a continuation of the challenging market conditions 
that have characterised the resources services sector for the past few 
years. In this operating environment we have continued to pursue our 
goals with tenacity and determination whilst at the same time adjusting 
our business model to meet the challenges before us and to best 
position the Company for the future.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman’s 
Review

2016 has seen a continuation of the 
challenging market conditions that have 
characterised the resources services 
sector for the past few years. In this difficult 
operating environment we have continued 
to pursue our goals with tenacity and 
determination whilst at the same time 
adjusting our business model to meet the 
challenges before us and to best position the 
Company for the future.  

Whilst in recent months we have observed a small uplift in 
some commodity prices, confidence levels across the broader 
market remained subdued throughout most of the year, 
resulting in a limited number of greenfield tender opportunities 
for Macmahon. In regards to brownfield projects, the Company 
did participate in numerous tender opportunities as mining 
companies continued to pursue further cost savings and 
productivity gains. 

Pleasingly, prior to Christmas, Macmahon was successful in 
securing two new projects in Australia and another new project 
in Indonesia (in joint venture with a local partner). These surface 
mining contract awards clearly demonstrated our ability to 
provide value added solutions to our clients at a time when they 
are needed most. Importantly, the Company’s ongoing focus on 
safety, and our commitment to working closely with our clients 
to provide a safe and productive workplace, was a critical 
component in securing this new work.

During the year the Board continued to focus on our core 
objectives – being to constantly refine our business model, 
further reduce our operating costs and maintain our healthy 
balance sheet. 

We also maintained a strong focus on capital management and 
in October 2015 commenced a buy-back program of 10% of 
the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares over a twelve month 
period. The Board is of the view that the average share price 
during the period did not reflect the fair value of the Company, 
particularly in light of the Company’s current cash reserves 
and  therefore considered the share buy-back a sound use of 
available capital.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Whilst our current financial position remains sound, the 
Company recorded a net profit after tax of only $1.7 million 
for the 2016 financial year. This result reflects performance 
issues at our Nigerian operations, losses incurred at Telfer due 
primarily to start-up costs, complicated site conditions and 
additional maintenance rectification costs for client supplied 
equipment, as well as a lack of new work in our underground 
business following the completion of our development contract 
at Olympic Dam in the first half. These issues have been a 
core priority for the Board and Management Team and we are 
working diligently to address them.

The Board has determined that no dividend will be declared for 
the year ending 30 June 2016, as we believe the current share 
buy-back is the most effective way to return capital to our 
shareholders. This initiative expires in October 2016. The Board 
remains committed to returning value to shareholders and will 
continue to consider various capital management initiatives in 
the year ahead.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

PEOPLE

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Whilst the past 12 months have been challenging for our people 
we have worked hard to do ‘more with less’ and I have been 
extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and 
dedication shown by our workforce at large. I am very proud of 
what we have been able to achieve, particularly in regards to the 
safe start-up of our new projects over the Christmas and New 
Year period and I think it reflects the determination of our people 
to succeed and the pride they have in the work they do.  

Moving forward, our focus will be on ensuring that we have the 
right level of resourcing to successfully execute our current 
workload. This will mean maintaining tight control over our 
overheads whilst also ensuring that we have the appropriate 
level of capability and expertise throughout the organisation to 
deliver on our contractual obligations. 

Our leadership team has a clear objective to deliver improved 
returns to shareholders through enhanced operational 
performance and I am confident that we will address the issues 
currently impacting the business and successfully deliver on 
this objective.  

Nigerian kidnapping incident

On 22 June 2016, five Macmahon employees and two sub-
contractors were abducted by armed gunmen whilst travelling 
to our project office near Calabar, Nigeria.  

Thankfully, after a significant effort by the Macmahon Crisis 
Management Team, Nigerian authorities as well as government 
authorities in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, we were 
successful in achieving the safe release of all seven men. 

I am incredibly proud of the professionalism shown by our team 
who worked around the clock in locations around the world to 
achieve this great result. I would also like to commend the men 
involved for their bravery and particularly thank their families for 
working so closely with us during what was an extremely difficult 
and stressful time. 

I would like to acknowledge the many companies, both here 
in Australia and in Africa who called to offer their assistance. 
The level of support from so many sources was humbling, 
and demonstrates the mateship amongst Australia’s miners 
operating around the globe.

Tragically during this incident one of our sub-contractors, 
Matthew Odok, was fatally injured. Our thoughts and prayers are 
with his family, work colleagues and friends.

As I said in my introduction market conditions remain 
challenging, however the mining industry has started to show 
signs of improvement and I would expect to see this trend flow 
through to the mining services sector in the near future.

In relation to Macmahon in particular, over the near term we 
expect our profitability to be impacted by the issues mentioned 
above in Nigeria and at Telfer. However, on a positive note, 
volumes at Tropicana are expected to expand and discussions 
are currently underway with our client regarding a potential 
future scope increase. Furthermore, there is continued upside 
opportunity from the disposal of surplus assets and inventory 
currently sitting on our balance sheet.

Our strategy during this period is to remain focused on our 
existing projects and ensure that we deliver on our contractual 
obligations in a safe and efficient manner. Revenue for FY17 is 
expected to be in the range of $350 - $370 million with more 
than $320 million already contracted. Importantly, our current 
order book runs for another 5 years and as such, we are well 
positioned financially, to see this downturn through to more 
buoyant times.

Whilst successfully delivering our existing projects is 
paramount, securing new work is still a priority, however we are 
remaining disciplined in regards to the margins we are willing to 
accept when tendering new work.

Pleasingly, the Company is currently tendering a number of 
tenders, both in Australia and overseas. This work is spread 
across a range of commodities including coal, copper, gold, and 
lithium.

GOVERNANCE AND THE BOARD

The Board remains committed to maintaining the highest 
standards of governance, compliance, business ethics 
and safety performance. We believe that good corporate 
governance is critical to the long term sustainability of any 
organisation. 

With this in mind we have continued to monitor and review 
our corporate governance and reporting practices to ensure 
alignment with the latest ASX principles and recommendations. 
In addition to this report, our corporate governance statement 
can be found on our website, and we encourage all shareholders 
to read it.

SHAREHOLDERS AND SUPPLIERS

Finally, I wish to acknowledge and thank our shareholders and our 
suppliers for their ongoing support during the year. This has been 
a challenging period for Macmahon and the sector more broadly 
and I thank you for your patience and trust in the Company. 

We remain firmly committed to returning Macmahon to 
sustainable profitability and to achieving the returns that  
our shareholders deserve.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 20164

Operational 
Review

Macmahon offers the complete package 
of mining services to clients in Australia, 
New Zealand, South East Asia and Africa. 
Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, 
the Company has extensive knowledge and 
experience in both surface and underground 
mining as well as engineering design and 
fabrication, and maintenance services.

SURFACE MINING 

Macmahon offers a full range of surface mining services, 
including (but not limited to) mine planning, drill and blast, 
bulk and selective mining, crushing and screening, materials 
handling, resource infrastructure development and plant 
operation and maintenance. 

Project activity
 ∆ Macmahon is currently providing a full range of mining 

services at the Tropicana Gold Mine in Western Australia for 
Anglo Gold Ashanti and Independence Group. Operations 
continued to perform well during the year with the 
introduction of new operating methodologies which resulted 
in the achievement of industry best productivity and 
efficiency benchmarks and record production levels towards 
the end of the reporting period. Excitingly, there are further 
opportunities to improve performance and the collective 
site teams are focused on materialising these opportunities. 
Importantly, the Company’s unique relationship remains very 
strong and is highly valued by Macmahon. This relationship 
has been a key factor in identifying and unlocking the 
improvements required to continually reduce base operating 
costs and extend the mine life. The contract is based on a 
Life of Mine principle and discussions are currently underway 
regarding the transition to a significant increase in scope 
should the Long Island study achieve a positive outcome 
early next year.

In November 2015 the Company was awarded a contract by 
St Ives Gold Mining Company Pty Ltd, to provide plant and 
personnel for large scale open cut mining operations to the 
St Ives Gold Mine near Kambalda in Western Australia. The 
fleet has been sourced from Macmahon’s idle equipment 
inventory, and is being used to deliver additional capacity 
to the St Ives Gold Mine. Since the original contract 
announcement, Macmahon has been awarded an extension 
for a further 24 months, highlighting the Company’s ongoing 
performance and relationship with the client. The extension 
has included adjustments to the original contract structure 
based on learnings during the initial phase and appropriate 
incentives to enhance production on site. 

 ∆

 ∆ Also in November 2015 the Company was awarded a 

contract by Newcrest Mining Limited to undertake contract 
mining services at its Telfer operation. Under this contract, 
Macmahon is providing the full scope of open pit mining and 
bulk earthworks related services, including drill and blast, 
mining of waste materials, equipment hire and subcontractor 
management. 

 ∆ During the period Macmahon continued to fulfil its 3 year 

contract with Rio Tinto to manage its tailings dam operations 
at the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

UNDERGROUND MINING 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Macmahon has a 25+ year track record of successfully 
operating overseas. 

The Company’s operations span a number of locations including 
Indonesia, Malaysia and Nigeria. Macmahon provides a range of 
mining services in these locations.

Due to heightened security concerns, Macmahon is currently 
reviewing whether it should continue its business in Nigeria.  
If Macmahon decides to withdraw from Nigeria, possible  
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) losses will be 
reclassified to the Profit and Loss statement. The current  
FCTR loss is $6.4 million.

Project activity – South East Asia
 ∆

In November 2015 the Company was awarded a contract 
by PT Agincourt Resources to provide mining services at 
the Martabe gold mine, in the North Sumatran province of 
Indonesia. The contact is being delivered by Macmahon in 
a 50:50 joint venture with a leading Indonesian contractor 
with the award being made following a competitive tendering 
process involving several mining contractors from Australia 
and Indonesia. Since its start up over the Christmas period, 
this project has exceeded production targets and the 
relationship with the client and the community has continued 
to strengthen.

 ∆ Separately, Macmahon continues to provide a range of 

mining services for LafargeHolcim at operations in Malaysia 
and Indonesia and these operations have performed as 
expected. 

Project activity – Africa

Ewekoro

 ∆

In April 2016, Macmahon concluded its contract 
with LafargeHolcim at the Ewekoro mine in Nigeria. 
Disappointingly, in the lead up to the cessation of activities, 
the Company endured a period of industrial action, which 
in turn had a negative impact on performance towards the 
end of this project. The project also incurred higher than 
expected demobilisation costs.

Calabar

 ∆ Operations at Calabar incurred losses during the year due 

to low volumes and high equipment rental and maintenance 
costs. Financial performance in FY17 is at risk if these issues 
persist.

Macmahon has a strong track record of providing high quality 
underground development and production services. The 
Company’s underground capability also includes the full suite 
of ground support services (rock bolting, cable bolting and 
shotcreting) as well as ventilation and access services including 
shaft sinking, raise drilling and shaft lining. 

Project activity
 ∆ Macmahon’s Mining Services business is currently providing 
a range of services (including drilling, shotcreting, raise 
drilling, shaft sinking and engineering design) to a number of 
projects including the Mount Wright Gold Mine in Queensland 
for Carpentaria Gold and the Ballarat Gold Project in Victoria 
for Castlemaine Gold Fields.

 ∆ Macmahon is also providing raise drilling services at BHP 
Billiton’s Olympic Dam Mine in South Australia. Macmahon 
has been active at this site for more than 10 years with the 
current scope of works contracted to 2018.

 ∆ Separately, the Company is also undertaking cablebolting 
activities at Newcrest Mining’s Cadia Project in New South 
Wales where it has maintained a presence since 2008.

 ∆ During the period Macmahon continued to provide care and 
maintenance services at the Ranger Mine in the Northern 
Territory for Energy Resources of Australia. 

Projects completed 
 ∆

In September 2015, Macmahon successfully completed its 
underground development contract at BHP Billiton’s Olympic 
Dam Mine in South Australia. 

 ∆

 ∆

In March 2016, Macmahon also completed its underground 
mining service contract at Olympic Dam.

In April 2016 the Company’s ‘Big-Rig’ Herrenknecht RBR900 
raisedrill also completed its project at Olympic Dam. It has 
now been mobilised to a new project in Western Australia 
where it will commence operations early in the new financial 
year. 

 ∆ Macmahon’s Mining Services business successfully 

completed operations at the Lanfranchi and Savannah Mines 
in Western Australia for Panoramic Resources.

 ∆ During the period the Company also completed its drilling 

contract at George Fisher utilising a new Canadian designed 
drill rig. This rig was the first of its kind in Macmahon’s 
underground fleet and was able to deliver greater flexibility in 
relation to mobility, drill length and drill diameter.

Other achievements

Almost two years to the day since setting a world record for 
underground production drilling, Macmahon has again set a new 
record with the same machine at the same mine – this time for 
the highest number of metres drilled in a single shift.

The new record of 564m drilled in a single shift was set at 
Carpentaria Gold’s Mount Wright mine at Ravenswood, the same 
mine where Macmahon set the June 2014 record for production 
drilling by a single rig – recording a staggering 20,272m in just 
one month.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Financial 
Review

PROFIT AND LOSS 

Income 

The Company reported total revenue of $347.4 million. 
Revenue was lower than the 2015 financial year, largely due 
to the completion of the Waihi, Eaglefield,  Tavan Tolgoi and 
the Christmas Creek 2 projects. Additionally the underground 
development contract at Olympic Dam ended in October 2015, 
and the Olympic Dam mining service contract ended in March 
2016, however, this was partially offset by revenues from 
new contracts that commenced during the year at St Ives in 
December 2015 and Telfer in February 2016. 

The Company reported a consolidated profit after tax of $1.7 
million for the 2016 financial year. This compares favourably 
to the loss after income tax for 2015 of $217.9 million. This 
year’s net profit includes a significant one off item, being 
an additional provision against onerous lease of $1.4 million 
after tax. Excluding the significant one off item, the Company 
reported an underlying Net Profit After Tax of $3.1 which is lower 
than the $10 million underlying profit in 2015 and is mainly 
attributable to the lower volume of work, the conclusion of a 
major underground contract, ongoing performance issues in 
Nigeria and issues at Telfer. Significant items in the prior year 
represented impairment of property, plant and equipment and 
goodwill, and a write–down of inventory.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016Expenditure

Recurring expenditure from continuing operations (consisting 
of materials, sub-contractors, operating leases and personnel 
costs) was $305.9 million. This was lower than the prior year and 
was mainly as a result of the lower revenue.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment from continuing 
operations for the 2016 financial year was $33.1 million 
and decreased in line with revenue. The vast majority of the 
Company’s plant and equipment is depreciated on cumulative 
hours worked.

Net finance costs of $2.4 million, was lower than the 2015 
financial year. The decrease was as a result of the repayment of 
the Company’s Syndicated Debt Facility and lower debt levels 
during the year.

Tax Expense

The Group reported a tax expense of $0.4 million for continuing 
operations. The effective tax rate for continuing operations is 
slightly lower than 30% primarily due to profit being earned in 
foreign jurisdictions.

Other Comprehensive Income

Included in Other Comprehensive Income is an amount of 
$9.3 million being a foreign currency translation loss that is 
currently reflected as part of Reserves on the balance sheet. 
A substantial portion of this loss relates to the Nigerian 
operations and reflects the material devaluation of the Nigerian 
Naira in June 2016. The portion of foreign currency translation 
reserve loss ($6.4 million at 30 June 2016) applicable to Nigeria 
will be reclassified to the profit and loss at the time of cessation 
of operations in Nigeria.

Dividend and Capital Management

The Board has determined that a dividend will not be declared 
for the year ending 30 June 2016, as it believes the current 
share buy-back is the most effective way to return capital to 
shareholders. 

The initiative, which commenced in October 2015, will see 
the Company buy back, on market, up to 10% of its fully paid 
ordinary shares. The share buy-back falls within the “10/12” 
limit permitted under the Corporations Act and forms part of 
the Company’s ongoing capital management, at times when the 
Company’s shares trade at a significant discount to their net 
tangible asset value. The Board remains committed to returning 
value to shareholders and will continue to consider various 
capital management initiatives in the year ahead.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

BALANCE SHEET

Financing

The Company’s balance sheet is in a strong position, with a cash 
balance of $56.7 million at year end against a total debt of $0.2 
million. This resulted in a net cash position of $56.5 million.

On 31 July 2015, the Company repaid the Syndicated Debt 
Facility in full. The Company has a general purpose corporate 
facility of $30 million which expires in November 2016. This 
facility has no drawn debt and is currently used for bank 
guarantees. The Company is in the process of renegotiating the 
facility to extend it by at least another one year on improved 
terms.

Working Capital

Current trade and other receivables were $59.6 million at  
30 June 2016 ($66.8 million in 2015) while current trade and 
other payables were $61.4 million at 30 June 2016 ($89.1 
million in 2015). The reduction in payables was largely due to a 
lower level of creditors from reduced volume of work. Inventory 
reduced from $50.9 million in 2015 to $37.3 million in line with 
the reduced volume of work.

Non-current Assets

As at 30 June 2016, the value of the Company’s property, plant 
and equipment totalled $124.6 million, compared to $141.5 
million in the prior year. The reduction in property plant and 
equipment was driven largely by depreciation and asset sales. 

Despite the closure of several projects, the Company has 
redeployed some of its surplus equipment to existing projects 
and as a result maintains a manageable level of idle equipment.  
Management recognises the importance of discipline with 
regards to its capital expenditure and will seek to transition idle 
fleet when appropriate either via deployment to new projects or 
disposal.

During the year the Company established a joint venture in 
Indonesia for the Martabe Project and accordingly invested  
$5.6 million in that business.

Cash Flow

Net operating cash during the year totalled $9.1 million 
compared to $53.8 million in 2015. EBITDA cash conversion 
was negatively impacted by a reduction in provisions relating 
to project closures during the year as well as the higher net 
working capital in 2016. 

The Company realised $17.6 million from sales of surplus and 
idle assets. Offsetting this inflow the Company incurred capital 
expenditure of $23.5 million, mainly on existing projects, and 
invested $5.6 million in the Martabe joint venture.

Net cash outflows from financing activities in the 2016 financial 
year totalled $177.0 million comprising repayment of borrowings 
and associated costs of $171.6 million and share buy back of 
$5.4 million.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 20168

Business 
Strategy

Macmahon’s core objective is to secure 
and deliver work safely, profitably and 
consistently in order to deliver sustainable 
returns to shareholders.

To achieve this objective the Company remains focused on 
securing new work by capitalising on its reputation as a highly 
experienced contractor with proven mining capabilities. 

Additionally, in an effort to achieve a greater competitive 
advantage in what has become a highly congested mining 
services market, Macmahon is currently investigating a range of 
options to: 

1)  broaden its current capability through developing enhanced 

technology solutions, 

2) 

improve existing systems and processes to drive 
productivity and efficiency gains,

3)  develop a culture of innovation and flexibility by investing 

further in human capital. 

These initiatives, combined with the current business unit 
strategies outlined below, are currently in the process of being 
developed to ensure that Macmahon can continue to offer 
differentiated, value driven solutions to clients well into the 
future. 

Business Unit Strategic Areas of Focus

The safety of our people is our number one priority and is at the 
core of the following areas of focus:

 ∆ Macmahon’s core domestic Surface Mining business 

strategy revolves primarily around operational excellence, 
customer focus and project selection, ensuring that the 
business increases its contract retention and tender win 
rates while maintaining discipline on the use of its balance 
sheet and resources,

 ∆

 ∆

In its Underground Mining business, Macmahon’s strategic 
focus is on bolstering its client engagement activities 
and developing a competitive advantage through the 
implementation of a range of new technologies and cost 
effective mining techniques, and

Internationally, Macmahon’s strategy is to capitalise on its 
foothold in South East Asia, whilst continuing to assess 
opportunities with blue chip clients in locations where the 
Company deems there is an acceptable level of risk. 

The Macmahon Way

The Macmahon Business System is the cornerstone for how 
we undertake our work and ensure that we achieve strategic 
business objectives.  Our systems are an essential element of 
our business and serves to meet customer requirements, keep 
our people safe, reduce business risk, improve profitability and 
demonstrate responsible management to our stakeholders. We 
believe that we can minimise risk and improve performance by 
having clear and comprehensive documented processes which 
guide the behaviour of our leaders and employees. 

With the restructure of the business, we recognised the need to 
ensure that our systems are updated to reflect these changes.  
During the year we reviewed our business processes to ensure 
they are effective and deliver efficient outcomes for the 
business. We realise that further work is needed to continually 
improve our systems to meet a changing environment, to 
ensure the capture and retention of our specialised corporate 
and operational knowledge and to embed efficiencies in the way 
we work.  

Our health and safety, environment and quality systems 
continue to be independently certified by the BSI Group (British 
Standards Institution) as meeting the requirements of: ISO 
14001, (Environment); OHSAS 18001 and AS/NZS 4801 (Health 
and Safety); and ISO 9001 (Quality). Our systems have also 
been developed to meet the requirements of ISO 31000 (Risk 
Management).

Risk Management

Macmahon defines risk management as the 
identification, assessment and management 
of risks that have the potential to materially 
impact the Company’s operations, people, 
reputation, and financial results.  

Macmahon’s risk management framework is embedded within 
existing processes and is aligned to the Company’s strategic 
business objectives. Given the breadth of operations and the 
geographies and markets in which the Company operates, 
a wide range of risk factors have the potential to affect the 
achievement of these objectives.

Set out below is an overview of a number of material risks 
facing Macmahon. These risks are not set out in any particular 
order and do not comprise every risk that Macmahon could 
encounter when conducting its business. Rather, they are the 
most significant risks that, in the opinion of the Board, should 
be monitored and managed and considered by investors before 
investing in the Company.

Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”) Risk

The mining industry involves a high degree of operational risk 
and whilst Macmahon believes it takes reasonable precautions 
to manage safety and environmental risks, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will avoid significant costs, liability 
and penalties or criminal prosecution. This risk is mitigated by 
progressively improving on already high safety performance 
standards across the business. Central to this is the Company’s 
Safety Risk Management processes and Lifesaving Rules which 
are well embedded and embraced across our business. 

Security Risk

Some of Macmahon’s projects are in areas where there is a 
heightened security risk. 

For overseas projects Macmahon has in place a number of 
security risk processes, including specialist travel and in-
country risk advisory systems to ensure all travellers and 
expatriate workers are kept updated on security and travel 
risks for any country they may be travelling to. In country risk is 
managed via site security and journey management plans.   

Project Delivery Risk

The execution and delivery of projects involves judgment 
regarding the planning, development and operation of complex 
operating facilities and equipment. Some parts of Macmahon’s 
business are involved in large-scale, complex projects that may 
occur over extended time periods. As a result, the Company’s 
operations, cash flows and liquidity could be affected if 
Macmahon miscalculates the resources or time needed to 
complete a project, if it fails to meet contractual obligations, or 
if it encounters delays or unspecified conditions. 

Competition Risk

The market in which Macmahon operates is highly competitive, 
which may result in downward pressure on prices and margins. 
If Macmahon is unable to compete effectively in its markets, it 
runs the risk of losing market share.

Demand Risk

Macmahon derives revenue predominately from the mining 
and resources market. In this market, the timing of or failure to 
obtain contracts, delays in awards of contracts, cancellations, 
delays in completion, changes in economic conditions, 
volatile cyclical nature of commodity prices and demand for 
our customers’ goods and services means that the demand 
for Macmahon’s goods and services can be cyclical and 
may sometimes vary markedly over relatively short periods. 
Accordingly, any change to these markets or key customers 
could impact Macmahon’s financial performance. 

Order Book Risk

Generally in the mining industry, most contracts can be 
terminated for convenience by the customer at short notice and 
without penalty with the customer paying for all work completed 
to date, unused material and in most cases demobilisation 
from the site and redundancies. As a result, there can be no 
assurance that work in hand will be realised as revenue in any 
future period. In Macmahon’s business, this risk is increased by 
the high percentage of its revenue that is derived from a single 
project. Macmahon is selective in the contracts that it enters 
into and always seeks to extend contracts where possible in an 
effort to maximise its return on capital.

Contract Pricing Risk 

Macmahon has mixed exposure of contract types. However, if 
the Company materially underestimates the cost of providing 
services, equipment, or plant, there is a risk of a negative impact 
on Macmahon’s financial performance. 

Contractual Risk

Macmahon operates under contracts that are generally 
complex and require skill to administer correctly. From time 
to time, the Company is involved in disputes with clients about 
contractual entitlements. If the Company fails to provide 
the necessary documentation to substantiate claims or is 
otherwise unsuccessful in negotiating a reasonable settlement, 
Macmahon’s financial performance could be affected.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Legal Claims and Proceedings Risk 

Interest rate risk

Macmahon may be subject to various claims or legal 
proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. 
These claims may seek, amongst others things, compensation 
for alleged personal injury, workers compensation, breach of 
work place practices, breach of contract or statutory duty, 
property damage, liquidated damages and contractual claims. 
The outcomes of these disputes can be difficult to predict. An 
adverse determination on such claims or proceedings may harm 
our reputation and in certain instances where our insurance 
coverage is inadequate, may cause a material negative impact 
on any one year’s financial performance.

Liquidity Risk 

The risk of Macmahon not being able to meet its financial 
obligations as they fall due is managed by maintaining adequate 
cash reserves and available borrowing facilities. Errors or 
unforeseen changes in actual and forecast cash flows that then 
create a mismatch against the maturity profiles of financial 
assets and liabilities could have a detrimental effect on a 
company’s liquidity. The Company’s approach to managing 
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have 
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both 
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable 
losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Partner Risk 

Macmahon, in some cases, may undertake services through 
and participate in joint ventures or partnering/alliance 
arrangements. The success of these partnering activities 
depends on the satisfactory performance by Macmahon’s 
partners. The failure of partners to meet performance 
obligations could impose additional financial and performance 
obligations that could cause significant impact on Macmahon’s 
reputation and financial results, including loss or termination of 
the contract and loss of profits.

The risks associated with fluctuating interest rates, specifically 
on the Company’s variable rate borrowings is managed under 
the Company’s approved Treasury Policy in which interest 
rate exposures on committed capital finance borrowings are 
hedged in order to attain 100% fixed rates (by volume). The 
hedging instruments approved by the Board of Directors for 
this purpose, are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps 
and floors. Further information is contained in note 17 of the 
financial statements.

Currency fluctuation

As a Company with international operations, Macmahon is 
exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Australian dollar 
versus other currencies. Because Macmahon’s consolidated 
financial results are reported in Australian dollars, if Macmahon 
generates sales or earnings or has assets and liabilities in 
other currencies, the translation into Australian dollars for 
financial reporting purposes can result in a significant increase 
or decrease in the amount of those sales or earnings and net 
assets.

Other material risks that could affect Macmahon include:

 ∆ A major operational failure or disruption at key facilities or 
to communication systems which interrupt Macmahon’s 
business;

 ∆ Changing government regulation including tax, occupational 

health and safety, and changes in policy and spending;

 ∆ Operating in international markets can expose Macmahon 
to economic conditions, civil unrest, conflicts, security 
breaches and bribery and corrupt practices;

 ∆ Loss of reputation through poor project outcomes, 

unsafe work practices, unethical business practices, and 
not meeting the market’s expectation of our financial 
performance;

 ∆ Foreign exchange rates and interest rates in the ordinary 

course of business; and

 ∆ Loss of key Board, management or operational personnel.

Safety

Macmahon’s commitment to health, safety, 
the environment, quality and the community 
is unwavering and our improved health and 
safety record for 2016 demonstrates that 
the Company’s strategy and site based 
actions are working effectively to achieve the 
Company’s overall objective of Zero Harm.

This comes from a strong belief that workplace injuries and 
illnesses are preventable and every job can be done safely. It 
also comes from a commitment to make health and safety an 
essential element to the successful delivery of all our projects. 

Macmahon Values 

We recognise that our people are our greatest asset and 
accordingly, the safety of our people is always our number one 
priority. To ensure that our people return home safe and well at 
the end of every working day, Macmahon empowers its people 
to live the company’s values. These values set the guiding 
principles for our behaviour and actions in the work place.

SAFETY

TEAMWORK

Look after yourself, 
your team and others 
around you

Work smart, work 
hard, work together

OUR VALUES

ENVIRONMENT

Reduce, recycle,  
and rejuvenate

INTEGRITY

Do what you say  
you are going  
to do

PROSPERITY

Create value for 
shareholders, 
employees, clients 
and partners

Working safely

Macmahon’s health and safety is achieved through three vital 
elements:

 ∆ A culture of accountability for one’s own health and safety 

and that of others; 

 ∆ Leaders who are passionate about safety and believe that 

workplace injuries and illnesses are preventable; and

 ∆ Robust health and safety systems and practices that 

workers understand and believe in.

When delivering projects, Macmahon seeks to work closely with 
its clients in order to establish and manage safe systems of 
work. During the 2016 financial year the Company was pleased 
to successfully complete the start-up of the Telfer, St Ives and 
Martabe operations with no lost time injuries. As part of the 
successful commencement programs associated with each 
of these projects, Macmahon worked collaboratively with each 
of its respective clients, to ensure that safety remained our 
number one priority across all sites.

Measuring safety performance is also a fundamental part of 
the Macmahon safety management system. The Macmahon 
performance evaluation process enables us to measure, 
evaluate and communicate performance using indicators which 
are based on accurate, relevant, reliable, measureable and 
verifiable information. 

In the 2016 financial year, Macmahon recorded a total of five Lost 
Time Injuries, for the second consecutive year, with the Lost Time 
Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) remaining relatively unchanged and 
continued improvement to the Total Recordable Injury Frequency 
Rate (TRIFR) compared to  2015. In addition to the improved 
TRIFR, the incident severity rate also improved during the year, 
with the severity of injuries dropping considerably. 

The key health and safety achievements over the last 12 
months include:

 ∆ The lowest TRIFR in the last five years;

 ∆ Successful start-up of three major projects without a lost 

time injury;

 ∆ Kanthan operating 11 years LTI free; 

 ∆ Shotcreting Division operating 9 years LTI free; 

 ∆ WAC Workshop operating 8 years LTI free;

 ∆ Underground Drilling Division operating 7 years LTI free;

 ∆ Lhok Nga operating 7 years LTI free; and

 ∆ Maintenance of ISO Certification to ISO18001 and AS/NZS 4801. 

In 2017, our strategic focus will remain on leadership and 
culture, whilst ensuring that our safe systems of work are 
maintained across all of our international and local operations, 
in an ever changing work environment. 

We are committed to continuous improvement and believe 
through the following initiatives and the maintenance of current 
practices, that we will meet this commitment. To achieve our 
strategy, Macmahon have allocated resources to a number of 
areas and key projects.

-  Focus on risk: to ensure risks are effectively identified and 

managed at every level of the organisation;

-  Focus on safe acts: targeting the quality use of our key 

safety processes and tools;

-  Enhanced communication: ensuring our employees and 
contractors are well informed on key health and safety 
topics and issues; 

-  Reward and recognition: building a culture of positive safety  

performance;

-  Leadership training: coaching and training our leaders to 
build critical safety, risk management and engagement 
skills; and

-  Streamlined systems: simplified key information and access 

to key policies, procedures and HSEQ documentation.

Training and development

Macmahon seeks to provide rewarding employment, training 
and development opportunities to all its employees. The aim of 
training and development is to provide the workforce with the 
necessary skills and knowledge to maximise their potential and 
to perform work safely in accordance with specified industry 
and Company standards for all divisions of the Macmahon 
business. 

Macmahon training and assessment resources have been 
contextualised and reflect Macmahon’s policies and procedures, 
equipment and regulatory requirements. The training activities 
encompass training and assessing competent operations of 
mobile plant through to Macmahon’s safety systems such 
as Take 5s and JSEA’s, and are compliant with all safety and 
environmental standards and requirements on site. 

With a focus on personal development as well as on safety, 
Macmahon’s training programs successfully integrate 
Macmahon’s core values of Safety, Teamwork, Prosperity, 
Integrity and Environment.

Macmahon’s Enterprise Registered Training Organisation 
(ERTO) is embedded within Macmahon’s group training team 
and as a result Macmahon’s learning outcomes are nationally 
recognised. The Company’s training programs successfully align 
components of day-to-day mining operations with the national 
unit criteria to enable the Macmahon employees to be trained 
within a nationally accredited qualification framework.

People

Macmahon maintains that its people are 
the core to building a better business. This 
year the focus has been on maximising 
the potential of our existing workforce; 
working closely with our clients to keep their 
operations efficient and productive; and 
ensuring we are able to compete effectively 
for new work. This has been enabled by 
simpler human resource systems, quality 
training and development programs and 
strong support for our line managers in 
people management and engagement.

New Projects

This year has seen Macmahon win three projects in close 
succession which resulted in a rapid ramp up of recruitment, 
mobilisation and induction activities.

Prior to being awarded these projects there was much 
preparatory work that went into ensuring Macmahon was 
the right contractor for the job and could deliver on its 
commitments, including:

-  Martabe - Indonesian appropriate HR policies, procedures, 
position descriptions and processes for recruitment and 
training were drafted in both Bahasa and English. 

-  Telfer - Macmahon sought approval for a section 318 

exemption under the Fair Work Act which meant we were 
able to employ any transitioning Newcrest employees under 
our own Enterprise Agreement terms and conditions.  

Upon being awarded the contracts Macmahon successfully 
recruited 85 employees for St Ives, 487 for Martabe and 208 for 
Telfer in time for commencement of those projects.

Working with our clients

During the year Macmahon continued to work closely with  Anglo 
Gold Ashanti at its Tropicana Gold Mine to further  leverage 
synergies between the two organisations. As a result, improved 
structures now exist within HSEQ, Administration, Mine Planning 
and Engineering and these functions are now integrated 
between the two companies.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 201614

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Environment

Our environmental policy, values and 
commitment reflects the integrated way 
in which we work at each of our locations. 
These support and advance our strategic 
agenda and ensure that we maintain a 
shared sense of purpose and alignment to 
how we operate.  

We continue to improve our understanding of the sources, scope 
and extent of our resource use, environmental emissions and 
impacts. Our overarching goal for environmental management 
is to avoid or, where this is not possible minimise our impacts, 
while contributing to lasting benefits across the areas where we 
operate.

During the year, we continued to implement environmental 
management strategies and plans to ensure the very highest 
levels of compliance, to minimise environmental impacts and to 
reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. We 
were able to maintain our industry leading level of compliance 
across all the areas where we operate. We had no environmental 
fines, breaches or major environmental incidents during 
this period which contributes to our unblemished record of 
compliance within the mining sector. 

Traineeships

The Macmahon Traineeship Program offers site-based 
employees the opportunity to gain the nationally recognised 
RII30113 Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations. 21 
employees successfully completed the traineeship this year 
with an additional 40 employees currently enrolled. The training 
team is currently focussing on extending this training initiative 
to our most recently awarded projects.

Apprenticeships

Macmahon’s Apprenticeship Program continued its success 
with 17 apprentices completing their tradesmen certification 
in a range of trades including HD fitter, boilermaker, auto 
electrician and electricians. A further 22 apprentices are still 
on the program, ensuring Macmahon continues to be one of 
Western Australia’s largest employers of apprentices.

Pilot leadership program 

In partnership with South Metropolitan TAFE, Macmahon 
has implemented a pilot training program which is aimed 
at the current and future leaders of our business. Upon 
successful completion candidates will be awarded with the 
nationally recognised RII50113 Diploma of Surface Operations 
Management, opening the pathway towards the Western 
Australian Quarry Manager’s Certificate of Competency. 

MacTrain

MacTrain is the online training portal used throughout 
Macmahon that allows employees and contractors to complete 
online inductions and training programs that are specific to 
their site and job role. It covers topics such as Macmahon 
Underground Induction, Macmahon Corporate Induction, Code 
of Conduct, EEO Awareness, Personal Protective Equipment 
(PPE), Manual Handling Awareness, Fire Awareness, Fatigue 
Awareness, Environmental and Heritage Awareness and 
Extreme Working Conditions.

During the year the Group Training Team created two new 
learning modules in-house. These are the Telfer Online Induction 
and Mac 5 training. 

Key People achievements over the last 12 months include:

 ∆ Successful start-up of three projects, including 780 new 

employees recruited and mobilised;

 ∆ Successful s318 Order application for Telfer operations;  

 ∆ 1350 employees and contractors undertook online training, 

completing a total of 9400 learning modules;

 ∆ Macmahon ERTO issued 690 Units of Competency to 138

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The audited remuneration report is set out on pages 22 to 28 
and forms part of this Director's report.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

The Company has indemnified the Directors and Executives of 
the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a Director or 
Executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except 
where there is a lack of good faith.

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in 
respect of a contract to insure the Directors and Executives of 
the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of liability and the amount of the 
premium.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF AUDITOR

The Company has not, during or since 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.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT ENTITY

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

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 29 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 29 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 parent entity, acting as advocate for the parent entity or 
jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The consolidated entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) 
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 Class 
Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the 
nearest dollar.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON MARKET

The following securities were purchased on market during the 
financial year for the share buy back.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
REMUNERATION REPORT

INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REMUNERATION 
AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board, I present the Remuneration Report 
for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 (“FY16”). Following 
the structural changes to the Company and Executive Team 
last year, the Board and Management have been focusing on 
reducing costs and rebuilding the order book. 

With this in mind the Board has taken a conservative approach 
to remuneration, choosing to support Management’s proposal 
to not issue any short or long term incentives for the FY16 
period. Labour costs across our operations has also been 
a critical focus area, including restructuring of existing 
operations, reviews of employee entitlements and the 
successful implementation and re-negotiation of industrial 
agreements that are designed to keep our Company competitive 
in the current market.  

With these initiatives underway, our efforts are now on the long 
term strategy to rebuild Macmahon. To achieve this, we will 
reinstate both a short-term and long-term incentive in the FY17 
period. These incentives are designed to encourage positive 
performance in key measures of the Company’s success 
including safety, innovation, business growth, and profitability.

FY 16 REMUNERATION OUTCOMES 

With cost reduction as the focus for FY16, the key remuneration 
outcomes in FY16 were:

1.  The Chairman of the Board, who had held the role of 
Executive Chairman from 22 January 2015 with no 
additional remuneration, ceased these duties as of 13 July 
2015 with the appointment of the new CEO.

2.  The Board welcomed the appointment of Mr Sybrandt 

van Dyk as the CEO and Managing Director as of 13 July 
2015. The salary package negotiated with Mr van Dyk was 
significantly less than that applicable to the former CEO.

3.  The remuneration for the Executive KMP was significantly 

reduced in FY16 in comparison to FY15, with reduced fixed 
remuneration contracts for both the new CEO and CFO 
roles and a much smaller Executive KMP group as a result 
of the organisational changes made in March 2015. 

4.  While it was proposed in the last Annual Report, the 

Company did not issue either a short-term incentive (“STI”) 
or Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) plan for the FY16 period. 

5.  The only performance rights to vest under the Company’s 
previous LTI plans were time based performance rights 
issued in 2012. This resulted in 404,997 performance 
rights vesting for twenty two senior personnel. No member 
of the current Executive KMP were participants.

6.  A nine day fortnight was applied to the Executive KMP 
with a consequential 10% reduction in their total fixed 
remuneration. This will remain in place until business 
conditions improve.

21

REMUNERATION STRATEGY 

The Board’s remuneration strategy for FY17 is to use the 
STI to focus on key short-term objectives including safety, 
project optimisation, order book and profitability and use the 
LTI to focus on absolute shareholder returns. This strategy 
has resulted in a slight change in the STI plan structure, which 
is designed to provide clear links to the Company’s strategic 
objectives and a strengthening of hurdles to ensure reward is 
only for above budget performance. 

The LTI Plan has also been simplified to create a direct link 
for both participants and shareholders between Executive 
remuneration and shareholder returns over the longer term. This 
has been achieved by making the Company’s total returns to 
shareholders over a three year period the only performance hurdle 
for vesting of the LTI. This is seen as a far more effective strategy 
to reward the Executive Team in the current economic climate, 
and appropriate for a company that sits outside the ASX300. 

The Board believes the Company’s revised remuneration 
framework will ensure that the Executive Team and key senior 
personnel are incentivised to grow the business and achieve 
positive capital returns for shareholders over the short and 
medium term.  

RESPONSE TO VOTE AGAINST 2015 REMUNERATION 
REPORT

At the 2015 Annual General Meeting, Macmahon received votes 
against the Remuneration Report representing greater than 
25% of the votes cast by persons entitled to vote. In accordance 
with the Corporations Act 2001, this resulted in Macmahon 
receiving a “First Strike” against its 2015 Remuneration 
Report. In these circumstances, the Act requires Macmahon 
to include in this year’s Remuneration Report, an explanation 
of the Board’s proposed action in response to that First Strike 
or, alternatively, if the Board does not propose any action, the 
Board’s reason for such inaction. 

Macmahon’s response to the First Strike was to arrange for the 
Chairman and Senior Management to meet with investors (who 
collectively hold approximately 50% of the Company’s share 
register) to discuss and to understand the main reasons why 
Macmahon received the vote against the 2015 Remuneration 
Report. In summary, no common theme emerged from  
these discussions.

Subsequent to the 2015 Annual General Meeting, the Macmahon 
Board and the Macmahon Remuneration Committee engaged 
Ernst & Young to advise on the remuneration structure of its 
Executive remuneration. Macmahon Management also engaged 
with key investors to discuss the remuneration strategy.

Macmahon has not made any material amendments to its 
overall remuneration structure, with the only change being to 
the performance hurdle used in the LTI Plan. The Macmahon 
Board remains confident that the Macmahon remuneration 
policy and the level and structure of its Executive remuneration 
are suitable for the company and its shareholders. We therefore 
seek your support for this Report at the Company’s Annual 
General Meeting in November 2016.

1.2 Remuneration Strategy

1.3 Remuneration Governance 

The Company’s overall remuneration objective is to compensate 
employees in a way that is cost effective and appropriate for 
current industry conditions, but also sufficient to attract and 
retain the calibre of personnel needed to effectively execute the 
Company’s strategy.

Business Strategy

Our overarching objective is to secure and deliver work safely, 
profitably and consistently in order to deliver sustainable 
returns to shareholders. 

Our strategy centres on strengthening the Company’s 
operations in its base market of Australia and diversifying 
into geographies that offer strong market growth based on 
Macmahon’s existing expertise and international experience. 

Remuneration Strategy

The Board’s remuneration strategy is based on three pillars:

 ∆ Attracting and retaining quality personnel through market 

competitive fixed remuneration principles; 

 ∆ Reward key senior personnel for delivering on the Company’s 

key short-term objectives as a means of setting the 
foundations for a stronger company; and

 ∆ Rewarding the Executive for delivering longer term absolute 

shareholder returns.

The Board oversees the remuneration arrangements of the 
Company. In performing this function the Board is assisted 
by input and recommendations from the Remuneration & 
Nomination Committee (“Committee”), external consultants 
and internal advice. The Committee is responsible for 
the overview, and recommendation to the full Board, of 
remuneration arrangements for Directors, the Chief Executive 
Officer (“CEO”), and other Executives. The CEO, in consultation 
with the Board, sets remuneration arrangements for other 
Executives. No Executive is directly involved in deciding their 
own remuneration (including the CEO). 

Further details of the role and function of the Committee are 
set out in the Charter for the Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee on the Company’s website at  
http://www.macmahon.com.au. 

The Committee obtains advice and market remuneration data 
from external remuneration advisors as required. When advice 
and market remuneration data is obtained, the Committee 
follows protocols regarding the engagement and use of external 
remuneration consultants to ensure ongoing compliance with 
Executive remuneration legislation. These protocols ensure that 
any remuneration recommendation from an external consultant 
is free from undue influence by any member of the Company’s 
KMP to whom it relates.

During the 2016 financial year, the Remuneration Committee 
engaged Ernst & Young to specifically review and make 
recommendations on the elements of the Company’s LTI plan 
and the performance conditions.  EY was paid $12,618 for the 
review and recommendations relating to the LTI plan. 

EY also provided analysis and advice to management on LTI 
options during the FY16 period. This advice did not include 
remuneration recommendations as defined by Division 1 of 
Part 1.2 of Chapter 1 of the Corporations Act 2011. EY was paid 
$3,090 for this analysis and advice.

The protocols for EY providing the remuneration 
recommendations prohibited EY from providing advice 
or recommendations to members of the KMP before the 
recommendations were given to the Remuneration Committee. 
EY had permission to provide advice to KMP after subsequent 
approval from the Remuneration Committee Chairman. These 
arrangements were implemented to ensure that EY would be 
able to carry out its work, including information capture and 
formation of its recommendations, free from undue influence by 
members of the Executive about whom they relate.

The Board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations 
were made by EY free from undue influence by members of 
the Executive about whom they relate. The Board undertook 
its own inquiries and review of the processes followed by EY 
during the course of the engagement and is satisfied that its 
remunerations recommendations were made free from undue 
influence.

1.4 Group Performance Affecting FY16 Outcomes 

As required under the Corporations Act 2001, the five year performance of the Company has been set out in the table below. These 
form the key Company performance measures that have been included in incentive plans for relevant Executives. Whilst there was 
no STI or LTI issued for FY16, the Committee believes these KPIs are aligned to shareholder wealth and returns to investors, and will 
continue to be used as guides for KMP performance.

2. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK AND OUTCOMES 

For the 2016 financial year, Macmahon continued the remuneration framework and structure that was established in FY13. However, 
the STI and LTI were suspended for 2016.

2.1 Target remuneration mix 

There has been no change to the remuneration mix proposed for the Managing Director and CEO as set out in the 2015 Annual Report. 
Having being appointed in the FY16 period on significantly lower TFR,  a strong focus on rewarding long term outcomes continues to be 
the approach proposed by the Board. The remuneration mix for the Executive KMP is set out in Diagram below.

2.2 Remuneration payment cycle

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED

2.3 Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) 

2.4.3 Deferral

All Executive KMP and Senior Management receive a TFR 
package that is based on the size and scope of their role, 
knowledge and experience and market benchmarks for that 
role. TFR comprises base salary, any applicable role specific 
allowances, and superannuation. 

Macmahon regularly reviews and benchmarks the base salaries 
and TFR of the KMP and Senior Management to ensure that the 
remuneration is appropriate and competitive with its market 
and industry peers. Benchmarking was completed during FY16 
using industry surveys and reports.

Both the CEO and CFO roles were recruited in FY16 on 
significantly lower TFR than the roles previously provided. This 
was considered appropriate given the market conditions and the 
size of the organisation. 

The KMP’s TFR is outlined in the remuneration table on page 28 
of this report. 

2.4 Short-Term Incentive (STI) Plan 

There was no STI plan issued for FY16 as part of the Company’s 
focus on minimising costs. For FY17 the Company will issue a 
STI to all Executive KMP and Senior Management. As outlined 
in the remuneration strategy, this is designed to reward 
performance against key performance indicators (KPIs) that are 
considered to drive positive business outcomes. 

The KPIs to be applied to the KMP for FY17 include:

 ∆ Net Profit After Tax (NPAT); 

 ∆ Return on Equity (ROE); 

 ∆ Value of Order Book; and

 ∆ Personal KPIs

Very specific financial and safety hurdles have been set to 
ensure that the STI focusses on rewarding above budget 
performance. The personal KPIs are set by the Board for the CEO 
and by the CEO for the Executive.

The key features of the STI Plan for FY17 are outlined below. 

2.4.1 Eligibility

Eligibility is extended to KMP and Senior Management 
employees who have a significant influence on the business 
performance of the Company. 

2.4.2 Structure

The Committee approved a number of changes to ensure the 
proposed FY17 STI focused the reward for performance on 
exceeding budget and minimum safety expectations. Based on 
the remuneration mix, the following payout levels against the 
Executive KMP's TFR will be included in the FY17 STI Plan for the 
Executive KMP:

% OF TFR EARNED 
ON THRESHOLD 
ACHIEVEMENT (100% 
OF BUDGET)

% OF TFR EARNED 
ONTARGET 
ACHIEVEMENT 
(112.5% OF BUDGET)

% OF TFR EARNED 
ON STRETCH 
ACHIEVEMENT (125% 
OF BUDGET)

CEO

CFO

25%

25%

50%

50%

75%

75%

The FY17 STI Plan provides for deferral of 25% of the KMP and 
participating Executive’s STI achieved award for a period of 
two years. If an Executive leaves during this two year period, 
payment will be at the Board’s discretion. 

2.4.4 STI Gateway and Conditions

The FY17 plan has a requirement that 100% of the Company’s 
budgeted NPAT is achieved before any STI payment can be made 
and is still subject to absolute Board discretion. The Board may 
exercise discretion to award an STI where the gateway has not 
been met. This is restricted to individuals at project level and 
only where there has been exceptional project performance.  

If a fatality occurs, no STI will be paid, unless the Board, in its 
sole discretion, determine there are extenuating circumstances 
which warrant a payment.

STI is forfeited if an Executive resigns or is terminated before 
the payment date. In exceptional circumstances this may be 
reviewed by the Board.

2.5 Long Term Incentive Plan for Executives 

 There was no LTI Plan issued for FY16 given the Board wished 
to carefully consider the appropriate performance measure for 
Macmahon’s current circumstances.

The FY17 LTI Plan seeks to drive the right results for 
shareholders over the longer term. Specifically, the Board 
believes the LTI needs to focus on absolute shareholder 
returns, in line with shareholders expectations of a company of 
Macmahon’s size and the current industry challenges.

The FY17 Plan will offer performance rights with the opportunity 
to receive fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for no 
consideration. The number of performance rights granted will 
be determined by the Executive remuneration mix and is at the 
discretion of the Board.  Performance rights will only vest if the 
minimum hurdles have been met as listed in section 2.5.3.

2.5.1 Eligibility 

The FY17 LTI Plan is restricted to a small group of senior 
Executives as determined by the Board, including the CEO. 

2.5.2 Structure

For the FY17 Plan, the performance rights will be tested against 
an absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance 
hurdle. The Board believes that having an absolute TSR measure 
provides a simpler measure of company performance, is more 
appropriate during a period of significant market volatility, 
and aligns the participants’ incentives to absolute returns to 
shareholders.

The performance conditions are measured over a three year 
period. There is no time-based component of the Plan.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 201626

2.5.3 Performance Hurdles 

3.0 EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION 

The FY17 LTI Plan is based on the Company’s absolute TSR 
performance. All of the performance rights will be eligible to 
vest, subject to achieving the target increase in Macmahon’s 
Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over the Performance Period, 
as a compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

2.5.4 Vesting schedule

The Plan provides for 100% of performance rights to vest 
after three years if the Target performance hurdle is met and 
employment is continued.  

2.5.5 Re-testing

There is no re-testing for LTI grants.

2.5.6 Restrictions on disposals

Vested plan shares held in trust are subject to disposal 
restrictions, in line with the Company’s Trading in Shares Policy. 

2.5.7 Dilution limits

Macmahon seeks to limit dilution of existing Shareholders. At 30 
June 2016 the Company had 17,505,741, performance rights 
on issue, which was less than 1.5% of the number of ordinary 
shares. Macmahon currently purchases shares for all Executive 
performance rights on market and holds them in trust, and in 
these circumstances dilution is not applicable.

2.5.8 Dividends

Performance rights do not carry any rights to dividends or 
voting rights. Shares allocated upon vesting of performance 
rights rank equally with other ordinary shares on issue. 

2.5.9 Change of control

If a change of control occurs or if the Company is wound 
up or delisted, the Board may (in its absolute discretion) 
determine that all or a portion of the performance rights will 
vest notwithstanding that time restrictions or performance 
conditions applicable to the share performance have not been 
satisfied.

2.5.10 Cessation of employment

If an Executive ceases employment before performance rights 
vest, rights to unvested Plan shares lapse immediately unless 
the Board in its absolute discretion determines otherwise.

3.1 Summary

3.1.1 Managing Director and CEO Remuneration 

In FY16, Mr Sybrant van Dyk’s remuneration package comprised 
the following components: 

1.  Nominal Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) of $650,000 
per annum, inclusive of superannuation. As part of his 
participation in the nine day fortnight initiative this was 
reduced to $585,000 for FY16.

2.  There was no STI or LTI plan issued to Mr van Dyk for FY16.

3.  Under the terms of the 2014 LTI Plan to which Mr van 

Dyk was invited, there were no rights due to vest in 2016. 
They are still held until 2017 when they will be subject to 
assessment against the performance hurdles.

3.1.2 CFO Remuneration

In FY16, Mr José Martins’ remuneration package comprised the 
following components:

1.   Nominal Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) of $458,000 
per annum, inclusive of superannuation. As part of his 
participation in the nine day fortnight initiative this was 
reduced to $412,200 per annum for FY16.

2.   There was no STI or LTI plan issued to Mr Martins for FY16.

3.2 Executive Remuneration 

3.2.1 Executive Salary Adjustments 

The company continued to apply a 10% salary reduction to the 
KMP and a number of the Executive as part of the introduction 
of a nine day fortnight across the senior salaried workforce 
within the Corporate support functions. The nine day fortnight 
was introduced in June 2015 as an interim cost saving measure.

There were no pay increases during the year for the current KMP. 

3.2.2 No hedging of performance rights 

The Board has adopted the Macmahon Trading in Shares Policy 
which prohibits employees from entering into transactions 
that limit the economic risk of participating in unvested 
employee entitlements. Hedging of unvested equity will result in 
immediate forfeiture. 

3.2.3 LTI performance rights

During the period the Company issued no performance rights to 
Executives or Senior Management. 

During the period relevant performance hurdles were tested for 
previous LTI plans. The only performance rights to vest under 
the Company’s previous LTI plans were time based performance 
rights issued under in 2012. This resulted in 404,997 
performance rights vesting for twenty two senior personnel. No 
member of the current Executive KMP were participants. For all 
performance based plans no hurdles were met and therefore no 
associated performance rights vested. 

As at 30 June 2016, Macmahon had 17,505,741 performance 
rights outstanding from all grants under past LTI plans.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity has identified its reportable segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief 
Executive Officer and Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the 
allocation of resources. 

Management have identified three operating segments; Surface Mining, Underground Mining and International Mining. These segments 
have been aggregated into "Mining" due to all segments exhibiting similar economic characteristics in terms of the nature of the 
products and services, production processes, type or class of customers, methods used to provide their services and regulatory 
environments which these services are provided in.

The following describes the operations of each reportable segment.

Mining
Provides a complete set of mining services for surface and underground operations - from mine development to materials delivery, 
including the full range of engineering services which include design, construction and on site services to deliver on client needs from 
the design phase right through to completion.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for 
more than one period.

Joint Ventures

Revenue from joint venture entities is not recognised in the financial statements as these entities are equity accounted. For such 
entities, the share of net profits is recognised.

The consolidated entity’s share of revenue from joint venture entities is excluded from the income statement in accordance with 
Accounting Standards. 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit 
before income tax as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the consolidated entity’s CEO and Managing 
Director. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in 
evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

The Mining segment operates in two principal geographical areas - Australia and Overseas (2015: three areas, including Mongolia 
which was significant in 2014). In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the 
geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets.

Major customer

Approximately 48% (2015: 33%) of the consolidated entities revenue is attributable to sale transactions with its largest customer.

NOTE 1. SEGMENT INFORMATION CONTINUED

Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the consolidated entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues 
and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the consolidated entity's other 
components. All operating segments' operating results are regularly reviewed by the consolidated entity's CEO and Managing Director 
to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial 
information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO and Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those 
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses, and income 
tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets 
other than goodwill.

Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with 
the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised within other income / other expenses in profit or loss.

During the previous year, the Company relocated all of the West Perth based employees to the Hudswell Road airport facilities.  
The Company has partially sublet the West Perth office to save on rental expenses. An onerous contract provision of $2.1 million  
(2015: $4.5 million) has been taken up which is based on lowest cost to exit being the present value of future outgoings net of 
estimated recoveries (from sub-letting).

Income tax

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

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially 
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax 
liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

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.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on laws 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
43

NOTE 4. TAX CONTINUED

Income tax continued

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they 
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle 
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each 
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability to 
pay the related dividend is recognised. The consolidated entity does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its Shareholders.

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and 
are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Macmahon Holdings Limited.

Current income tax expense / benefit, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the 
members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated 
group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate 
financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the 
head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable to / (receivable from) other entities in the tax 
consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer below). Any difference between these amounts is 
recognised by the consolidated entity as an equity contribution or distribution.

The consolidated entity recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the unused tax losses can be 
utilised. Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments 
of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements

The head entity, 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 asset / (liability) assumed by the head entity and any deferred tax 
loss asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity payable / (receivable) equal in amount to 
the tax asset / (liability) assumed. The inter-entity payables / (receivables) are 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 head entity 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.

Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in 
determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of 
business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit 
issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is 
different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such 
determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

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

NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE CONTINUED

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Macmahon 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.

Customers with balances past due but without any allowance for doubtful debts amount to $5.1 million as at 30 June 2016 ($16.9 million as at 30 
June 2015).

After reviewing credit terms of customers based on recent collection practices, the consolidated entity did not consider this to be a credit risk on 
the aggregate balances.

The ageing of the past due but not doubtful debts are as follows:

Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses. Due to the short-term nature of trade and other receivables, 
their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by 
reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for doubtful trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the 
consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial 
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in 
payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be doubtful. The amount of the 
doubtful allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of 
discounting is immaterial.

Accrued revenue

Accrued revenue represents the unbilled amount at year end in respect of mining services provided. 

Provision for doubtful receivables

The provision for doubful receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of provision is assessed by 
taking into account recent sales experience, ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual 
debtors financial position.

The company reviewed the value of items in inventory and reduced inventory to net realisable value based on an assessment of current 
market conditions with the assistance of external valuations provided by an independent valuer and internal assessments, where 
necessary. This did not result in any inventory writedowns in the current year (2015: $27.3 million).

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and 
other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provision for impairment of inventories

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of the provision is 
assessed by taking into account recent sales experience, ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

The Trust Company Ltd is the Trustee of the Macmahon Employees Superannuation Fund (“the Fund”) and is responsible for all areas 
of compliance with regard to the Fund. All members of the now closed defined benefit section were previously invited to transfer their 
entitlement to the accumulation section of the Fund. At 30 June 2016, 1 member (2015: 4 members) remained in the defined benefit 
section.

Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and accumulating sick leave 
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date  are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services 
up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick 
leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right to defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The liability is measured as 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 on national government bonds at the reporting date with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity 
and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are 
recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid 
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to 
a defined contribution plan which are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service 
are discounted to their present value.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS49

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS CONTINUED

Employee benefits continued

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the consolidated entity is committed demonstrably, without realistic 
possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide 
termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies 
are recognised as an expense if the consolidated entity has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the 
offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the 
reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value.

Long service leave provision

The liabilities for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured 
at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining 
the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into 
account.

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.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS50

NOTE 11. PROVISIONS CONTINUED

Provisions

The consolidated entity accrues for its contracted obligation to replace major components and tyres for client owned equipment, which 
it operates under its mining service contracts. The provision represents the wear and tear of components and tyres up to the balance 
date. As components and tyres are replaced, these items are charged against that provision. The provision is utilised completely by the 
end of the contract term.

Provision for project closure

The provision for project closure requires a degree of estimation and judgement around contractual term, expected redundancy and 
demobilisation costs, and reimbursement from customers. The provision is assessed by taking into account past history of contract 
closures and likelihood of contract extensions.

Client plant maintenance provision

The provision for client plant maintenance requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of provision is assessed by taking 
into account actual and forecast utilisation of the fleet and current consumption rate and maintenance cost.

Other

Other provisions reflect miscellaneous contract related claim provisions and require a degree of estimation and judgement.

NOTE 13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT CONTINUED

Reconciliations continued

Profit on disposal of property, plant and equipment from continuing operations was $6.3 million (2015: $13.0 million loss).

There was no impairment of assets during the current financial year (2015: $183.7 million). 

Property, plant and equipment secured under finance leases

Refer to note 18 for further information on property, plant and equipment secured under finance leases.

Security

Freehold land, buildings, leasehold improvements and plant and equipment are subject to a registered charge to secure banking 
facilities (see note 18).

Assets classified as held for sale

Assets classified as held for sale include surplus mining plant and equipment which the company is actively marketing for sale 
amounting to $8.1 million (2015: $12.1 million). Discontinued operations comprise the remaining balance of the assets classified as 
held for sale amounting to $1.1 million (2015: $0.8 million).

Property, plant and equipment

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

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the 
cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended 
use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. 
Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges from foreign currency purchases of 
property, plant and equipment.  Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part 
of that equipment.

The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values.  The market 
value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged, on the date of valuation between a willing buyer 
and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently 
and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market prices for 
similar items.

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

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a 
component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation on buildings, leasehold improvements and minor plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis. Depreciation 
on major plant and equipment and components is calculated on machine hours worked over their estimated useful life. Leased assets 
are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the consolidated entity will 
obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed on regular basis with annual reassessments for major items and 
adjusted if appropriate.

The expected useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:

- Buildings: 40 Years

- Leasehold improvements: Period of the lease

- Plant and equipment: 3-12 years

The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity’s assets, other than inventories (see inventory accounting policy) and deferred tax 
assets (see income tax accounting policy), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of 
impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated (see impairment of non-financial assets below).

For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
goodwill might be impaired.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS53

NOTE 13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT CONTINUED

Property, plant and equipment continued

Depreciation and amortisation continued

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable 
amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any 
revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it 
is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the consolidated entity, and its cost can be 
measured reliably.  The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant 
and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

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. 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.

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.

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; including the continued 
performance of contracted work, growth rates of the estimated future cash flows and discount rates based on the current cost of 
capital.

In the prior year, goodwill was fully impaired as the carrying amount was determined not to be recoverable.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of 
the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment.

Software

Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably or the process is technically and 
commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the consolidated entity intends to and has sufficient resources to 
complete development and to use the asset. The software expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and 
overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised 
in profit or loss as incurred.

Capitalised software development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment 
losses.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS55

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets 
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value 
of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to 
which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

There are no foreign exchange forward contracts in place at 30 June 2016 (2015: Notional Value $1.9 million). Foreign exchange 
forward contracts which are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of committed forecast purchase transactions are 
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of 
committed forecast purchases and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

There are no cash flow hedges of committed forecast transactions in place at 30 June 2016. Therefore no unrealised gain or loss 
position (2015: unrealised gain of $0.4 million) or related deferred tax position (2015: deferred tax liability $0.1 million) related to 
foreign exchange forward contracts is included in hedging reserve.

At 30 June 2016, the consolidated entity has no interest rate swap agreements in place (2015: Notional Value $155 million). The swaps 
were used to hedge the consolidated entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of its term facility (see note 18). On 31 July 2015 the 
Company repaid the term facility in full and closed out the interest rate swaps.

Derivative financial instruments

The consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its 
foreign currency risk and interest rate exposures, respectively. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative 
contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent 
changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being 
hedged. 

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTINUED

Derivative financial instruments continued

Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are used to cover the consolidated entity's exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to particular risk 
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect income or expenses. The effective portion of 
the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. 
Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast 
transaction occurs.

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that each hedge is 
highly effective and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the 
amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes ineffective 
and is no longer a designated hedge, the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's financial 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 2 and level 3

Derivative financial instruments have been valued using market comparison technique. This valuation technique maximises the use of 
observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS57

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT CONTINUED

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-
term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value of loans from banks and other financial liabilities, obligations under finance and hire purchase leases are estimated by 
discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

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.

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.

Fair value measurement hierarchy

"The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured 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; 
and 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgment is required to determine what is significant to fair value 
and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective."

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash 
flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS58

NOTE 17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management objectives

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. This 
framework is designed to identify, monitor and manage the material risks throughout the consolidated entity, to ensure risks remain 
within appropriate limits.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the consolidated entity’s 
activities. The consolidated entity, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and 
constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the consolidated entity’s risk management policies and 
procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the consolidated entity. 
The Board of Directors is assisted in its oversight role by the Audit and Risk Committee, to which internal audit reports. Internal audit 
undertakes reviews of controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee.

The consolidated entity has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

 ∆ Market risk

 ∆ Credit risk

 ∆ Liquidity risk

 ∆ Operational risk

This note presents qualitative and quantitative information about the consolidated entity’s exposure to each of the above risks, their 
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the consolidated 
entity’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control 
market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns.

Currency risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other 
than respective functional currencies of entities within the consolidated Group, which are primarily the Australian Dollar (AUD), but 
also the US Dollar (USD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Nigerian Naira (NGN) and Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The 
consolidated entity is also exposed to foreign currency risk on plant and equipment purchases that are denominated in a currency 
other than the AUD. 

The consolidated entity uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its purchases of major items of plant and equipment that 
are denominated in a foreign currency when a firm commitment is made. As at 30 June 2016 there are no foreign exchange forward 
contracts in place.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the AUD, the consolidated entity ensures that the net 
exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term 
imbalances.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk on variable rate borrowings is managed under the consolidated entity’s approved Financial Risk Management Policy. 
Under this policy, interest rate exposures on committed capital finance borrowings can be hedged up to 75% (by volume). The hedging 
instruments approved by the Board of Directors for this purpose, are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors.

As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate exposed financial assets and liabilities:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet 
its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the consolidated entity’s receivables from customers and cash and cash 
equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents

The consolidated entity limits its exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents by only investing in liquid securities and with 
counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating where possible.

Trade and other receivables

The consolidated entity’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the characteristics of each individual customer. The 
demographics of the consolidated entity’s customer base, including the default risk of the industries and countries in which customers 
operate, has less influence on credit risk.  Approximately 48% (2015: 33%) of the consolidated entity’s revenue is attributable to sale 
transactions with a single customer.  Geographically, the concentration of credit risk is in Australia.

Under the consolidated entity’s systems and procedures, each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the 
consolidated entity’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.  The exposure to credit risk is monitored on an 
ongoing basis. The consolidated entity’s analysis includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references.  Credit 
risk is minimised by managing payment terms, receiving advance payments, receiving the benefit of a bank guarantee or by entering 
into credit insurance for customers considered to be at risk.

More than 72% (2015: 70%) of the consolidated entity’s trade receivables exposed to credit risk are from customers who have been 
transacting with the consolidated entity for over three years.

The consolidated entity establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected / incurred losses in respect 
of trade and other receivables.  At 30 June 2016 the consolidated entities collective impairment on its trade receivables was $1.3 
million (2015: $1.5 million).

Guarantees

The consolidated entity’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to or for subsidiaries. Details of outstanding guarantees are 
provided in note 21.

The consolidated entity’s most significant trade receivable, a mining customer, accounts for $16.1 million of the trade receivables 
carrying amount at 30 June 2016 (2015: $16.0 million). 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The consolidated 
entity’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities 
when due,  without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the consolidated entity’s reputation.

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.

Information about changes in term facilities during the year is disclosed in note 18. As at 30 June 2016, the undrawn amount on the 
term facility was $23.7 million (2015: $150.8 million) of which $6.3 million is represented by bank guarantees (2015: $27.3 million). 
Outstanding individual lease agreements drawn under past facilities remain in place until their expiry date. In addition, the consolidated 
entity has a $71.3 million (2015: $107.6 million) insurance bond facility with $59.6 million (2015: $96.3 million) available at year end.

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 financial position.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are expected to occur in line with contractual terms.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the consolidated entity’s 
processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as 
those arising from the unexpected termination of contracts by customers, legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted 
standards of corporate behaviour. This risk includes loss of major contract or non extension of current contracts. Operational risks 
arise from all of the consolidated entity’s operations.

The consolidated entity’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the 
consolidated entity’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior 
management within each business unit (operating segments). This responsibility is supported by the development of overall 
consolidated entity’s standards for the management of operational risk.

Term facilities

Following the sale of its Mongolian business in June 2015, the Company repaid all its outstanding debt under the Syndicated Facility 
Agreement on 31 July 2015 and closed out the corresponding interest rate swaps.

In November 2015 the Company executed a $30 million multi-option financing facility (including a $0.3 million credit card facility). The 
twelve month facility which matures on 17 November 2016 can be used for general corporate purposes. $6.3 million of the facility is 
drawn at 30 June 2016 for bank guarantees.

Operating lease facility

As at 30 June 2016, the domestic operating lease facility was drawn by $37.3 million (2015: $41.3 million).

Assets pledged as security

The consolidated entity’s hire purchase / finance lease liabilities are secured by the leased assets and in the event of default, the leased 
assets revert to the lessor. All remaining assets of the Group are pledged as security under the multioption financing facility.

NOTE 19. EQUITY - ISSUED CAPITAL CONTINUED

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are 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.

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 parent entity's share price at the time of the investment.

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 consolidated entity monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net 
debt is calculated as 'total borrowings' less 'cash and cash equivalents' as shown in the statement of financial position. Total equity is 
as shown in the statement of financial position. At 30 June 2016 the consolidated entity was in a net cash position (Gearing ratio: nil). 

Share buy-back

On 6 October 2015, the Company announced an on-market share buy-back of up to 10% over 12 months of its fully paid ordinary 
shares as part of a capital management plan. During the financial year, the Company acquired 51,212,092 shares at an average price of 
10.7 cents per share for a total of $5,432,691, taking the percentage of shares acquired to 4.06%. 

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.

Shares purchased on market by the consolidated entity are recognised at fair value, less transaction costs and reduce issued capital.

Bank guarantees and insurance bonds are issued to contract counterparties in the normal course of business as security for the 
performance by Macmahon of various contractual obligations. 

Other contingent liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, Macmahon is also called upon to give guarantees and indemnities direct to contract counterparties 
in relation to the performance of contractual and financial obligations. The value of these guarantees and indemnities is 
indeterminable.

Macmahon has entered into various joint venture arrangements under which it may be jointly and severally liable for the liabilities of the 
joint arrangement.  Macmahon has the normal contractor’s liability in relation to its current and completed mining and construction 
projects (for example, liability relating to design, workmanship and damage), as well as liability for personal injury and property damage 
during a project. Potential liability may arise from claims, disputes and/or litigation against Group companies and/or joint venture 
arrangements in which the Group has an interest. Macmahon is currently managing a number of claims, disputes and litigation 
processes in relation to its contracts, as well as in relation to personal injury and property damage arising from project delivery. 

On 9 November 2015, Macmahon was served with a shareholder class action filed in the Federal Court of Australia by ACA Lawyers. 
The action was filed on behalf of shareholders who acquired Macmahon securities between 2 May 2012 and 19 September 2012, the 
quantum of the claim has not been specified and relates to disclosures by Macmahon in 2012 regarding the now completed Hope 
Downs 4 contract. The company denies any wrong doing and is defending the proceeding.

The consolidated entity leases a number of offices and industrial workshop facilities.  The leases typically run for a period of 10 years, 
with an option to renew the lease after that date. Some leases provide for additional payments that are based on changes in a local 
price index or CPI. The consolidated entity does not have an option to purchase the leased assets at the expiry of their lease period.

Operating leases - equipment

On 31 July 2013, the consolidated entity entered into a Master Operating Lease Agreement for plant and equipment. The leases 
typically run for a term of 3 to 5 years with an option to extend for up to 3 years after that date. The consolidated entity has an option 
to purchase the assets at the expiry of their lease period. This agreement replaced the $230 million domestic operating lease facility 
signed October 2007. Outstanding individual lease agreements drawn under the $230 million facility remain in place until their expiry. 
As at 30 June 2016, the total value of outstanding operating leases under both agreements was $37.3 million (2015: $41.3 million).

Finance leases - equipment

Finance lease commitments in Note 18 include contracted amounts for various plant and equipment with a written down value of $5.3 
million (2015: $9.6 million) under finance leases expiring within 1 year. Under the terms of the leases, the consolidated entity has the 
option to acquire the leased assets for predetermined residual values on the expiry of the leases.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an 
assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement 
conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and 
benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all 
such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present 
value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance 
costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life 
and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease.

Major component expenditure on operating leased equipment is capitalised to plant and equipment and amortised over the shorter of 
the remaining lease term or the useful life of the component.

NOTE 23. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Due to heightened security concerns, Macmahon is currently reviewing whether it should continue its business in Nigeria. If Macmahon 
decides to withdraw from Nigeria, possible Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) losses will be reclassified to the Profit and

NOTE 28. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The consolidated entity has the following equity compensation plans in place to remunerate executives and employees of the Group:

 ∆ Macmahon Executive Equity Plan ("EEP" or "LTI Plan")

 ∆ Macmahon CEO LTI Plan - expired in 2015

Macmahon EEP or LTI Plan

The LTI Plan provides Executives (including the CEO) and other senior personnel with the opportunity to receive fully paid shares in 
Macmahon for no consideration, subject to specified time restrictions, continuous employment and performance conditions being met. 
Each performance right will entitle participants to receive one fully paid ordinary share at the time of vesting. The LTI Plan is designed 
to assist with employee retention, and to incentivise employees to maximise returns and earnings for shareholders.

Participants are granted Performance Rights, which are contractual rights to receive fully paid shares in Macmahon, subject to the LTI 
Plan conditions being satisfied. The Board determines which Executives are eligible to participate and the number of rights granted. 
Each right will entitle the participant to receive one fully paid ordinary Macmahon share on vesting.

Relative TSR was chosen by the Board as a suitable performance measure as it provides alignment between shareholder returns and 
executive remuneration. The Performance Rights lapse if the employee ceases employment with Macmahon, or the TSR performance 
condition has not been achieved within the term of each plan.

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions 
relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the 
next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS76

NOTE 28. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS CONTINUED

Share-based payments

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.

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.

In the previous period, the entity has adopted the amendments introduced by the annual improvements to IFRS 2010-2012 cycle, 
to determine the accounting for any performance rights which have been forfeited for failure to complete a service period. Any 
performance rights  issued on 1 July 2014 or earlier, have accordingly been treated as a forfeiture and the costs of the performance 
rights costs are trued up i.e., amounts previously expensed are no longer incurred and accordingly reversed in the current year. This 
policy is applied irrespective of whether the employee resigns voluntarily or is dismissed by the Company.

Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved 
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgment of financial statements, and Directors’ report. 

It is a condition of the Class Order that Macmahon Holdings Limited (“the Company”) and each of the subsidiaries ("Extended Closed 
Group") below enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee (“Deed”). The effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor, 
payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If 
a winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has 
not been paid in full. The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up.

The following entities are party to a Deed of Cross Guarantee under which each company guarantees the debts of the others:

Macmahon Southern Pty Ltd

NOTE 32. OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AASB 16 Leases

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

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or 
amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are 
mandatory for the current reporting period.

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

Changes in accounting policy

The accounting policies applied in these financial statements 
are the same as those applied in the consolidated entity’s 
annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 
June 2015, except for new and revised or amended Accounting 
Standards below.

New, revised or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted:

 ∆ AASB 2015-3: Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality

 ∆ AASB 2015-4: Financial Reporting Requirements for 

Australian Groups with a foreign parent

The above have had no significant impact on the financial 
statements.

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

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 2016. The consolidated 
entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Standards issued but not effective

AASB 15 Revenue fron Contracts with Customers

Summary of requirements

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for 
determining whether, how much, and when revenue is 
recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, 
including AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction contracts, 
and INT 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.

AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or 
after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Summary of requirements

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating 
leases or finance leases for the lessee-effectively treating all 
leases as finance leases. This replaces the current accounting 
guidance in AASB 17 Leases and when applied, would result in 
an increase in assets and liabilities for lease arrangements and 
potential increase in depreciation and amortisation expenses 
and a reduction in other operating expenses.

AASB 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or 
after 1 January 2019 with early adoption permitted.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments - published in July 2014, 
replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised 
guidance on the classification and measurement of financial 
instruments, including a new expected credit loss model 
for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new 
general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward 
the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial 
instruments from IAS 39. AASB 9 is effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with 
early adoption permitted. The Group is assessing the potential 
impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from 
the application of AASB 9.

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 under the 
historical cost convention, except for, defined benefit plan 
assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments 
which are stated at their fair value. Certain property, plant and 
equipment and inventory is recognised at fair value less costs to 
sell and net realisable value respectively.

Critical accounting estimates

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

Parent entity information

Possible impact on consolidated financial statements

The Group is assessing the potential impact on its consolidated 
financial statements resulting from the application of IFRS 15.

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 31.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS82

NOTE 32. OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
CONTIUNED

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Macmahon Holdings Limited 
('parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all 
subsidiaries for the year then ended. Macmahon 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.

Interest in equity accounted investees

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated 
into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting 
date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currency at the reporting date are translated to the functional 
currency at the exchange rate at that date. The income and 
expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian 
dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign 
currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive 
income, and presented in the foreign currency translation 
reserve in equity.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or 
payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the 
foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising 
from such a monetary item form part of a net investment in a 
foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive 
income, and are presented in the foreign currency translation 
reserve in equity.

When a foreign operation is disposed of the cumulative amount 
in the translation reserve related to the foreign operation is 
reclassified to profit and loss as part of gain or loss on disposal.

The consolidated entity's interests in equity accounted 
investees comprise interests in associates and joint ventures.

Revenue recognition

Associates are those entities in which the consolidated entity 
has significant influence, but not control or joint control, 
over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is 
an arrangement in which the consolidated entity has joint 
control, whereby the consolidated entity has rights to the net 
assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and 
obligations for its liabilities. 

Interest in associates and the joint ventures are accounted 
for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at 
cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, the consolidated financial statements include 
the consolidated entity's share of the profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, until the 
date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

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.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, 
which is Macmahon Holdings Limited's functional and 
presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian 
dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from 
the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
at the reporting date exchange rates of monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Revenue (including maintenance services) is recognised when 
the services are provided and is based on surveys of work 
performed where applicable. Revenues are based on volumes 
of work performed on a monthly basis and in certain contracts 
are performed throughout the first life of the underlying mine or 
continuously throughtout the duration of the contract.

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable, to the extent that it is probable that the 
economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be 
reliably measured.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated 
entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for 
sale and that represents a separate major line of business or 
geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated 
plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, 
or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The 
results of discontinued operations are presented separately 
on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial 
position based on current and non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected 
to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it 
is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting 
period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted 
from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 
months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified 
as non-current.

MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2016NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS83

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.

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.

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.

Rounding of amounts

The consolidated entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors' Reports) 
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 Class 
Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the 
nearest dollar.

NOTE 32. OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
CONTIUNED

Current and non-current classification continued

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to 
be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the 
purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to 
defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-
current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-
current.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured 
at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the 
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either 
amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. 
Classification is determined based on the purpose of the 
acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories 
is restricted.

For unlisted investments, the consolidated entity establishes 
fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the 
use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other 
instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash 
flow analysis, and option pricing models.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive 
cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have 
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit 
or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting 
period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective 
evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or 
obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in 
payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to 
economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise 
do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy 
or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active 
market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that 
there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and 
receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between 
the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated 
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest 
rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot 
exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised 
had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or 
loss.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Macmahon Holdings Limited

Report on the financial report

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Macmahon  Holdings  Limited (the 
Company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016,
and  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income, consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on 
that  date,  notes  1  to  32 comprising  a  summary of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other 
explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and 
the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives 
a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations 
Act  2001 and  for  such internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the 
preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or 
error. In  note  32, the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standard 
AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.  We 
conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  These  Auditing 
Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
report is free from material misstatement.

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, 
including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether 
due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control 
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates  made  by  the  directors,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation of  the financial 
report.  

We  performed  the  procedures  to  assess  whether  in  all  material  respects  the  financial  report 
presents  fairly,  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  a  true  and  fair  view  which  is  consistent  with  our  understanding  of  the  Group’s 
financial position and of its performance.  

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