Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders, 

Welcome to Mader Group’s Annual 
Report for the financial year ended 
30 June 2020 (FY2020).

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman 

6

Following a successful initial public offering on the 
Australian Securities Exchange in October 2019, we 
are pleased to present a year of results that reflect 
continuing momentum on a strong growing business. 

Servicing a global network of 200+ mining and civil 
companies across more than 350 sites, Mader Group 
continues to capitalise on its leading position as the 
largest independent maintenance provider for heavy 
mobile equipment in Australia.

Through the provision of exceptional service to its 
clients, the Company continues to grow its wide and 
diverse client base, broadening skillsets alongside 
fellow industry leaders and supporting some of the 
world’s largest mining companies. 

Steady growth during FY2020 through renewed 
contracts with longstanding customers and the 
securement of new work scope with key mining 
companies, places Mader in an exciting position for 
increased market penetration going forward.

Mader Group is proud to report the achievement of a 
series of significant milestones, accomplished during 
unprecedented times with the COVID-19 global 
pandemic. Despite the challenges presented by 
COVID-19, the Company has continued to grow and 
maintained a strong culture of comradery and top 
tier performance. 

As the Company celebrates 15 years in operation, we 
are proud of our continuing track record of sustained 
organic growth and operational performance in 
FY2020. 

Resilience During A Global Pandemic 

Whilst always a top priority, this year more than 
ever, the safety of our people has been a critical 
focus area for the business. The evolving nature of 
the COVID-19 global pandemic required the Board 
and management team to strategise on how best 
to limit the spread of COVID-19 and protect the 
health and safety of its workforce. This resulted in 
the unanimous decision to withdraw the Company’s 
expatriate workforce from operations in Africa and 
Asia; operations which have since re-commenced in 
a limited capacity. 

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auDuring this period, the mining industry has been 
impacted by some extra costs due to travel 
restrictions, closed borders and isolation regulations 
however Mader Group has persisted in growing its 
revenue base and maintaining stable operations. 
To date, there have been no confirmed cases of 
COVID-19 among Mader Group employees. 

A Strong Balance Sheet 

Over the financial year, Mader Group was able to 
leverage its balance sheet responsibly to deliver 
high performing results. Earnings increased to $33.0 
million, representing a 30% increase from $25.5 
million EBITDA in FY2019. 

The Company provided over 2.7 million hours of 
maintenance labour services to over 200 customers 
and achieved a reduction in net debt to $18.5 million at 
30 June 2020, down 14% from $21.2 million at  
the close of FY2019. Sales revenue grew from $228.6 
million in FY2019 to $273.5 million in FY2020. 

The relatively low capital intensity of the business 
has enabled Mader Group to pay dividends to its 
shareholders whilst achieving sustainable growth. 
The Directors were pleased to pay dividends totalling 
$4.3 million to shareholders in FY2020, including 
$1.3 million to shareholders pre IPO and an interim 
dividend of $3 million to shareholders following 
the ASX listing. As disclosed in Mader Group’s 
Prospectus dated 16 August 2019, the Company 
proposed an interim and final dividend for FY2020, 
each to the value of 1.5 cents per share fully franked. 
The final dividend of $3 million was declared and paid 
post the end of the FY2020.

15 Years’ Strong

In 15 years of mining services excellence, Mader 
Group has grown and adapted to deliver a wide range 
of maintenance services, including the successful 
roll out of a series of related and complementary 
solutions to its cornerstone service offering of 
mechanical maintenance for heavy mobile equipment.

A well established and leading position in the 
maintenance services sector has enabled Mader 
Group to gain experience operating in 17 countries 
spanning 4 continents and maintain its unique and 
longstanding competitive position in the market.

Leadership and Board

Led by Mader Group’s CEO Patrick Conway, the 
Company is headed by a robust executive team and 
experienced Board. The leadership team includes 
former tradespeople who know the industry well and 
have overseen the business through a variety of 
growth phases and markets. They are complemented 
by senior executives experienced in business and 
financial management. 

We welcome Mr Paul Hegarty to the leadership team. 
Appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in September 
2020, he brings a wealth of experience to the Group 
and we look forward to his input in what we envision 
will be a high performing year. We thank Ms Lili Lim 
for her significant contribution during her time as 
CFO and during the IPO process. Ms Lim will remain 
within the business, leveraging her broad company 
knowledge and leadership skills to pursue her 
passion in operational finance.

Culture and People

We operate a blue sky business model with stretch 
targets and numbers that speak volumes. The focus 
of our people, our culture and reputation has earnt us 
a loyal and dedicated team, with our workforce near 
tripling in size since FY2017. We close this financial 
year collectively housing almost 1,400 highly skilled 
employees globally.

Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, 
the principles of mateship and comradery remain 
deeply engrained in our culture and daily operations. 
The current global pandemic serves to highlight the 
resilience of our people as we have banded together 
to thrive in the face change. 

During the financial year, Mader Group was 
recognised for its transparent, flexible and inclusive 
workplace environment cultivated through years of 
investment in its culture. The Company has been 
recently selected as a finalist for the Australian 
HR Awards 2020, Employer of Choice (>1000 
Employees) category - a testament to its unique and 
people-centric business model.

A differentiated culture allows Mader Group to lead 
the market as a trailblazer in the industry, crafting 
purpose driven careers and innovative employee 
benefits to keep our people happy and engaged.

Corporate Social Mission 

Closing statement

As the Chairman of Mader Group and on behalf of my 
fellow Directors, I welcome you to read our FY2020 
Annual Report, each page of which reflects a  
well-run business with sustainable growth prospects 
and high earnings potential.

I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to 
the leadership team, employees, shareholders, clients 
and suppliers for their overwhelming support during 
the initial public offer process and throughout the 
year just gone.

Lastly, I commend our workforce and industry 
peers for their determination and efforts during 
such challenging times. Together we have achieved 
an outstanding performance despite navigating 
what has been an unchartered and fast changing 
landscape. I look forward to seeing what we can 
achieve in the financial year ahead.

Yours faithfully

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman 

We strive to empower communities, improve social 
dynamics and lessen inequality through community 
participation and the sponsorship of a variety of 
regional events and sporting associations. At Mader 
Group, we believe that community involvement 
helps employees to foster a sense of purpose and 
belonging that is critical to maintaining a fulfilled, 
engaged and productive workforce.

In the past financial year, Mader Group further 
established its relationship with Tom Price Senior 
High School in Western Australia and Singleton 
Heights Public School in New South Wales, and 
raised funds for the Harry Perkins Institute of 
Medical Research through the MACA Cancer 200: 
Ride for Research challenge. The Company also 
participated in a series of ‘Home for Dinner’ volunteer 
events, cooking meals for the families of sick kids 
through Ronald McDonald House Charities. 

Looking Ahead 

The metrics of the broader industry indicate rising 
mining production, machine hours and usage within 
Mader Group’s key regions of operation. Closing the 
year with a strong balance sheet, Mader Group is 
well positioned to continue its growth trajectory. The 
Company delivers flexible, fit for purpose and cost 
effective maintenance solutions to its customers 
and forecasts high demand for its services in the 
year ahead, particularly from iron-ore and gold mining 
customers in Western Australia and in the USA, 
which continues to ramp up. 

The successful roll out of a Trade Upgrade Program 
in the past financial year, allows Mader Group to 
partner with fellow industry leaders to upskill 
experienced tradespeople for entry into the mining 
sector. This scalable training program qualified 
light vehicle and road transport mechanics to 
become heavy duty diesel mechanics through an 
apprenticeship. The program serves to increase the 
availability of skilled labour in the medium to long 
term, to support our growth.

•  For FY2019, 0.29 million ($0.21 million tax effected) Public Company

Operating and financial review

Mader Group’s operating and financial results reflect 
strong revenue and sustainable growth. The Group 
closed the year with total revenue of $273.5 million, 
up 19.6% from $228.6 million. Earnings growth 
was driven by growth in two of the three reporting 
segments, Australia (23.1%) and USA (1,242.6%). 
The Group saw a 52.7% reduction in the other 
segment, principally a result of a temporary pause in 
international operations (non-USA) due to COVID-19 
impacts. 

Operations in Australia and USA experienced increased 
demand from new and existing customers, particularly 
from customers operating in strong commodity 
markets. Market sentiment finished the year softer in 
QLD due to coal price movements however demand for 
services in the region remained steady. 

Over the period, Mader Group renewed contracts 
with several key customers, including BHP and was 
appointed a preferred maintenance supplier for 
Roy Hill. Mader Group was also selected to support 
John Holland on Fortescue Metals Group’s Eliwana 
Integrated Railway Project.

The Group secured and delivered new workscopes 
across Australia, USA, Chile, Philippines and Papua New 
Guinea and serviced existing customers in Mongolia, 
Laos, India and Central/West Africa prior to the onset 
of COVID-19. At the close of the financial year the 
Group implemented a strategy to return limited service 
to customers in Africa and Asia with small teams 
currently mobilised in Papua New Guinea and Laos.

Accordingly, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation 
and amortisation (EBITDA) in FY2020 improved to 
$33.0 million from $25.5 million representing a 29.8% 
yearon-year increase. In FY19, Group EBITDA was 
36.83% year-on-year increase.

Group earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) 
improved to $26.4 million from $21.6 million with the 
22.2% year-on-year increase. Earnings growth was 
slightly offset by the impact of COVID-19 and the 
reduced relative contribution from international (non-
USA) operations. 

Consolidated adjusted net profit after tax (NPAT) 
improved to $18.1 million, representing a 19.2% 
increase from $15.2 million in FY2019. For a 
reconciliation of adjusted NPAT to reported NPAT 
refer to the table on page 13. Basic earnings per 
share (EPS) of 8.75 cents was achieved compared 
to 8.76 cents in FY2019, with the slight decrease 
attributable to the reorganisation of capital 
immediately prior to the IPO.

Three payments of fully franked dividends were 
declared to shareholders for the FY2020 period, 
totalling $7.3 million. $4.3 million of this was paid  
during the financial year with a final dividend declared  
post the end of the FY2020 and paid in September 
2020. Dividend payments relating to the period 
represent a payout ratio of 33.3%.

Net operating cashflow of $20.4 million (FY2019: 
$10.0 million) reflected the strong operational 
performance with operating cash flow before 
interest and tax (OCFBIT) of $28.3 million 
representing a $15.5 million increase on FY2019. 

Net capital expenditure of $12.9 million (FY2019: 
$15.9 million) represented a $3.0 million decrease from 
the previous financial year and a $3.2 million increase 
over the IPO Prospectus Forecast ($9.7 million) due to 
higher than forecast growth in the USA.

The Group concluded the year with net debt of $18.5 
million at 30 June 2020, a decrease of $2.7 million as 
compared to FY2019. Net debt comprised total debt 
of $24.9 million less cash of $6.5 million.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORT

15

 
• USA achieved an EBITDA of $3.1 million for

FY2020 which represents higher than forecast
growth than at the time of IPO. EBITDA increased
by $3.5 million, representing a 862.4% over its
inaugural year of operation.

• All other achieved an EBITDA of $2.8 million for
FY2020 which represents a decrease of $1.8
million over the prior year. The lower EBITDA
resulted from of a pause in our international
operations (non-USA) due to COVID-19 and
reduced relative contribution from countries
within the segment.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation charges of $6.6 million were recorded 
for the year in relation to the Group’s plant and 
equipment. This was $2.7 million higher than the 
charge in the previous year. The increase was mainly 
driven by an increase in the Group's operating fleet. 
Increases in revenue are correlated with increased 
depreciation charges but not entirely proportional 
due to a reduction in the contribution of the All Other 
segment which is capital light.

Net financing costs

The Group paid interest expenses of $1.5 million 
associated with the Group’s working capital and 
asset financing facilities. This compared to a $1.2 
million interest expense in the previous financial year.

year of 29.7% which was in line with expectations.

D I R E C T O R S '   R E P O R T

Revenue

Revenue increased by $44.9 million compared to the 
prior corresponding year driven by:

• 23.5% growth in annual revenue during the
year due to steady demand for mobile plant
maintenance in the Pilbara, Goldfields and South
West regions of Western Australia. Ancillary and
complementary services achieved year on year
revenue growth of 41% in Western Australia;

• 30.5% growth in annual revenue from operations
in Queensland and New South Wales. Revenue
base includes higher than anticipated growth
in New South Wales of 107% attributed to
continued expansion into the Hunter Valley and
diversification into Central West New South
Wales;

• 4.2% growth in annual revenue from operations

in the Central Region, comprising steady revenue
growth of 16% in the Northern Territory and a
slight decline in revenue in South Australia;

• Revenue declined by 52.7% for Mader

International in FY2020, principally as a result of
a pause in our international operations (non-USA)
due to COVID19 impacts; and

• Higher than forecast growth of 1,242% in annual
revenue from operations in the USA with average
quarterly revenue growth of 60%. Revenue
growth is primarily attributed to the delivery of
services in strong commodity markets of copper,
gold and zinc.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation 
and amortisation

The Group’s EBITDA of $33.0 million for the year was 
an increase over the prior year by $7.6 million.

• Australia achieved an EBITDA of $23.3 million for
FY2020 which represents an increase of $1.3
million over the prior year. The higher EBITDA
resulted from increased revenue from all areas
of operation excluding South Australia which
saw a slight decline in revenue due to workforce
rationalisation at Olympic Dam.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auCashflow

Financial position

Key movements in cashflow compared to the prior 
period are as follows:

•  Net cashflow from operations was $20.4 million 
compared to $10.0 million in the prior year. The 
$10.4 million increase can be attributed to:

 - Mader operations generated $28.3 million in 

operating cashflow before interest and tax for 
the year compared to $12.7 million in the prior 
year. Both years produced lesser operating 
cashflow before interest and tax than EBITDA 
due to increased trade receivables and 
improved trading terms. Operating cashflow 
before interest and tax is a non-IFRS measure 
and is calculated by excluding interest and tax 
payments from cash flows from operations as 
presented in the Statement of Cash Flows;

 - Cash flows associated with financing for the year 
were a net cash outflow of $4.1 million, compared  
to the previous year of $0.27 million; and

 - Tax payments totalling $6.4 million were made 
during the year, compared with $2.8 million in 
the prior year, due to the Group’s Australian tax 
instalment rate being adjusted in the current 
financial year in line with higher prior year profit, 
and timing differences in international tax 
payments due to 31 December tax year end.

•  Net investing cash outflows for the year 

decreased to $12.9 million compared to $15.4 
million in the previous year and comprised:

 - $14.0 million for capital expenditure compared 

to $16.7 million the previous year; and

 - $1.1 million from the sale of plant and equipment, 

compared to $0.7 million the previous year.

•  Net cash inflow or provided by financing activities 

for the year included:

 - $4.3 million paid in dividends as compared to 

$9.2 million the previous year; and

 - $1.4 million, being the net drawdown on the 

asset finance facility for capital purchases, less 
any repayment of the facility during the year 
(compared to net inflow of $8.2 million last year).

The financial position of the Group increased as 
compared with the previous year, with Net Assets of 
$48.1 million (2019: $34.2 million). At 30 June 2020 
Current Assets exceeded Current Liabilities by $25.5 
million (30 June 2019: $16.0 million).

Net debt and financing facilities

•  The Group ended the year with Net Debt of $18.5 
million, a decrease of $2.7 million over the $21.2 
million balance at the prior year end. Net Debt at 
30 June 2020 comprised cash of $6.5 million less 
the total debt $24.9 million.

•  The Group’s finance facilities available at 30 June 

2020 comprised:

 - invoice finance facilities totalling $22.0 million 

(drawn: $5.6 million);

 - asset finance facilities totalling $19.0 million 

(drawn: $18.4 million);

 - short term finance facilities totalling $0.9 million 

(drawn $0.9 million); and

 - bank guarantee facilities totalling $0.3 million 

(drawn: $0.3 million).

•  The Group was in compliance with each of the 

financial covenants at the date of the Director's 
Report.

Other Balance Sheet items / movements

Other key balance sheet movements during the  
year included:

•  Trade and other receivables was $55.0 million at 

30 June 2020, an increase of $0.5 million from the 
prior year’s closing balance of $54.5 million;

•  Plant and equipment at 30 June 2020 was $32.5 
million compared to $26.2 million at 30 June 2019 
and reflects the net of additions ($13.9 million) and 
disposals ($1.7 million) for the year exceeding the 
annual depreciation charge ($6.0 million); and

•  Trade and other payables was $18.9 million at  
30 June 2020, a decrease of $5.9 million from  
the prior year’s closing balance of $24.8 million.

18

The Mader Group international (non-USA) provides 
specialised contract labour for the maintenance of 
heavy mobile equipment in the resources industry 
from an in-house pool of skilled employees. The 
services provided include maintenance labour, field 
support (site labour with support vehicles and tools), 
shutdown teams for major overhauls and training of

• Revenue for the year was A$12.8m, as compared

to A$27.1m in FY2019.

• Mader International withdrew its expatriate

workforce from Africa and Asia during the initial
principle impact of COVID-19, largely re-mobilising
them in Australia. This decision was made to
protect the health and safety of its workforce.
To date, there have been no confirmed cases of
COVID-19 among Mader Group’s employees.

Overall Group strategy, prospects and risks 

Mader Group’s strategic plan remains in line with 
expectations at the time of IPO. The Group sees a 
continuance of the current trends in its business and 
strong macro trends which position Mader Group for 
continued growth.

Mader Group is well placed to take advantage of 
organic growth opportunities and strong commodity 
markets as they present. The Group seeks to improve 
the quality of its revenue base in addressable 
markets through higher client and regional 
diversification and a dedicated focus on improved 
profit margins. 

Whilst Mader Group has recently implemented plans 
to step back into international markets (non-USA), 
the outlook of COVID-19 in the near to mid term is 
expected to impact operations in Africa and Asia 
which will likely only make a small contribution in 
FY21.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auThe Board is confident that Mader Group’s leading 
market position and reputation will enable the 
business to continue to grow through the ongoing 
attraction of high quality and suitably skilled people 
and the penetration of new and existing resource 
projects.

The Mader Group’s revenue growth is predominantly 
driven by three factors:

• 

Increase in demand in regions where the Mader 
Group already operates (both existing and new 
customers). The Mader Group believes there 
remains significant revenue growth potential in 
all regions in which the Mader Group currently 
operates;

•  Expansion to new addressable markets where 

usage of heavy mobile equipment is significant; 
and 

•  The continued scaling of a strategy to deliver 

ancillary services in established regions. These 
are complementary and value add services to the 
core capabilities of the Mader Group including auto 
electrics, light vehicle mechanics, line boring and 

boilermaking.

Growth in industry demand is affected by:

•  The outlook and impacts of COVID-19 in the near 

to mid term;

•  Total commodity production (more production 

means more machine stock);

•  The average age of existing machinery stock (older 

machines means more maintenance); and

•  The extent to which mining companies outsource 

maintenance workforce requirements.

The Group’s specific growth strategies include:

•  Replicating the business model in new areas;

•  Continuing to diversify by commodity;

•  Being an employer of choice;

•  Continuing to maintain and develop new customer 

relationships; and

•  Continuing to expand the range of trades supplied.

Mader Group's economic performance and future 
prospects are subject to a number of risks which 
may impact its business and which include the 
Group’s ability to maintain its culture; maintaining 
quality of work and delivery; occupational health, 
safety and environment; potential downturn in 
the resources industry; loss of key personnel; 
management of growth; ability to win new work; the 
Group’s large casual workforce; changes to industrial 
relations policy or labour laws; reliance on key 
customers and projects; foreign operations; increase 
in labour costs; increased competition; labour 
shortages; decline in the trend towards outsourcing 
maintenance activities; customer pricing risk, and 
capital requirements for growth.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state 
of affairs of the Group that occurred during the 
financial year not otherwise disclosed in this report 
or the financial statements.

There have been no other matters or circumstances 
that have arisen after the balance sheet date that 
have significantly affected, or may significantly 
affect the operations of the Group, the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group 
in future financial periods.

Environmental regulation and performance

The Group holds various licences and is subject to 
various environmental regulations at its workshops.

The Group has not received any notification from 
any regulatory authority or client of any breaches 
of environmental regulations and to the best 
of its knowledge has complied with all material 
requirements up to the date of this report.

Likely development and expected results of 
operations

Likely developments in the operations of the Group 
in future financial years and the expected results of 
those operations have been included generally within 
the financial report.

Events subsequent to balance date

Subsequent to 30 June 2020, the Directors declared 
a final dividend of 1.5 cents per share, which was paid 
in September 2020.

The Group has executed a multi borrower facility 
of $62 million to replace existing finance facilities 
expiring on the 30 September 2020. The facility 
comprises of an Asset Finance Facility of $25 million  
and an Invoice Finance Facility of $37 million.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and 
while it had affected the international operations for 
the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not 
practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive 
or negative, after the reporting date. The situation 
is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures 
imposed by the Australian Government and other 
countries, such as maintaining social distancing 
requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any 
economic stimulus that may  
be provided.

How remuneration is governed

Company did not engage any such advisors.

Elements of Executive Remuneration

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salary and superannuation capped at the relevant concessional contribution 
limit and other benefits (if deemed appropriate and may include a fully expensed mobile phone and other forms of 
remuneration). The opportunity to salary sacrifice benefits on a tax compliant basis is available on request. Fixed 
remuneration is set with reference to role, market and relevant experience, which is reviewed annually and upon

actual time worked by the participant in the financial 
year. If a participant’s employment with the Company 
is terminated, either through dismissal or resignation, 
then the participant will not be entitled to future 
bonuses, including for the financial year in which the 
participant’s employment was terminated.

Relationship between remuneration and Group performance

The Board rewards the performance of KMPs with regard to the achievement of operational and financial targets 
having regard to the duties, performance and contribution of the KMP during the financial year.

align the interests of KMPs with those of shareholders. The annual cash bonus payments to KMPs is based on 
a percentage of the NPBT of the Group made over a KMPs “initial base line”. KMPs initial base line is set by the 
Board and is generally linked to the NPBT of the Group for the financial year in which the KMPs employment with 
the Company commenced.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auNotes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

1.  Corporate Information

(b) Going concern

The consolidated financial statements of Mader 
Group Limited (Mader Group or the Company) and 
its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the year 
ended were authorised for issue in accordance with a 
resolution of the board of directors on 28 September 
2020.

Mader Group Limited is a for profit company limited 
by shares incorporated in Australia.

The nature of the operations and principal activities 
of the Group are described in the Director’s report.

2.  Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies

(a)  Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose report, 
which has been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, 
Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board. The Company is for a 
profit entity for financial reporting purposes under 
Australian Accounting Standards. These financial 
statements also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standrads as issued by the Interenational 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting 
policies that the AASB has concluded would 
result in a financial report containing relevant and 
reliable information about transactions, events and 
conditions. The financial statements and notes 
also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards.

The financial report has been prepared on a historical 
cost basis unless otherwise stated in the notes.

The financial report is presented in Australian 
dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest 
thousand ($000), except when otherwise indicated 
under the option available to the Company under 
ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191.

The financial statements have been approved by the 
Directors on a going concern basis. In determining 
the appropriateness of the basis of preparation, 
the Directors have considered the impact of the 
COVID19 pandemic on the position of the Group at 
30 June 2020 and its operations in future periods.

(c) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner 
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
chief operating decision maker. The chief operating 
decision maker, who is responsible for allocating 
resources and assessing performance of the 
operating segments, has been identified as the full 
Board of Directors.

(d) Contributed equity

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. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares 
or options for the acquisition of a business are not 
included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the 
purchase consideration.

(e) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing the profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year.

(ii) 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.

 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprises 
the financial statements of the Company and its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June 2020. Control is achieved 
when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable 
returns from its involvement with the investee and 
has the ability to affect those returns through its 
power over the investee. Specifically, the Group 
controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has: 

• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that
give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee)

• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its

involvement with the investee

• The ability to use its power over the investee to

affect is returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of 
voting rights results in control. The Group considers 
all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing 
whether it has power over an investee, including:

• The contractual agreement(s) with the other vote

holders of the investee

transactions between members of the Group are 
eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, 
without a loss of control, is accounted for as an 
equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it 
derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), 
liabilities and other components of equity, while any 
resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

(g) Income Tax

Current income tax 

Current income tax assets and liabilities are 
measured at the amount expected to be recovered 
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax 
rates and tax laws used to computer the amount are 
those that are enacted or substantively enacted at 
the reporting date in the countries where the Group 
operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognised 
directly in equity is recognised in equity and not 
in the statement of profit or loss. Management 
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax 
returns with respect to situations in which applicable 
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and 
establishes provisions where appropriate.

• Rights arising from other contractual agreements

Deferred tax 

• The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assess whether or not it controls an 
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there 
are changes to one or more of the three elements of 
control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when 
the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. 
Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary 
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in 
the consolidated financial statements from the date 
of the Group gains control until the date the Group 
ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of OCI are 
attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the 
Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if 
this results in the non-controlling interests having a 
deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, 
equity, income, expense and cash flows relating to 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method 
on temporary differences between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for 
financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable 
temporary differences, except:

• When the deferred tax liabilities arises from the

initial recognition of goodwill or asset or liability in
a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

•

In respect of taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint arrangements,
when the timing of reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is probable
that the temporary differences will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.

46

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auDeferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible 
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused 
tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred 
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that taxable profit will be available against 
which the deductible temporary differences, and the 
carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax 
losses can be utilised, except:

•  When the deferred tax assets relating to the 

deductible temporary difference arises from initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction 
that is not a business combination and, at the time 
of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
profit nor taxable profit or loss.

• 

In respect in deductible temporary differences 
associated with investments in subsidiaries, 
associates and interest in joint arrangements, 
deferred tax assets are recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that the temporary 
differences will reverse in the foreseeable future 
and taxable profit will be available against which 
the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is 
reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient 
taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of 
the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each 
reporting date and are recognised to the extent that 
it has become probable that future taxable profits 
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based 
on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to 
the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in 
equity.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred 
tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable 
right to set off current tax assets and current tax 
liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred 
tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the 
same taxation authority on either the same taxable 
entity or different taxable entities which intend 

either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on 
a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the 
liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in 
which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or 
assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

(h)  Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the 
statement of financial position based on current/
non-current classification. An asset is current when 
it is:

•  Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle

•  Held primarily for the purpose of trading

•  Expected to be realised within twelve months 

after the reporting year

Or

•  Cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from 
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at 
least twelve months after the reporting year

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating 
cycle

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

It is due to be settled within twelve months after 
the reporting year

• 

• 

• 

Or

There is no unconditional right to defer the 
settlement of the liability for at least twelve months 
after the reporting year

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-
current.

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

 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost 
or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

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

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated on a diminishing value 
basis over the asset’s useful life to the company 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready 
for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of 
depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed assets

Depreciation rate

Computer equipment

Office furniture and fittings

Motor vehicles

Plant and equipment

37.5%

10 – 40%

20 – 30%

10 – 30%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are 
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
balance date.

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

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by 
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. 

48

These gains or losses are included in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 
When revalued assets are sold, amounts included 
in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are 
transferred to retained earnings.

(j) Leases

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 
Leases from 1 July 2019, using the modified 
retrospective approach and therefore has not 
restated comparative for the 2019 reporting 
period, as permitted under the specific transitional 
provisions in the standard. 

Right of use assets

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

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

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise 
a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability 
for short-term leases with terms of 12 months 
or less and leases of low-value assets. Leases 
payments on these assets are expensed to profit or 
loss as incurred. 

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement 
date of a lease. The lease liability is initially 
recognised at the present value of the lease 
payments to be made over the term of the lease, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the 

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.aulease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, 
the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing 
rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payment 
less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease 
payments that depends on an index or a rate, 
amounts expected to be paid under residual value 
guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when 
the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to 
occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The 
variable lease payments that do not depend on an 
index or a rate are expensed in the period in which 
they are incurred. 

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

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Lease payments for operating leases, where 
substantially all the risks and benefits remain with 
the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis over 
the length of the lease.

Lease incentives under operating leases are 
recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.

(k)   Financial Instruments – Financial Assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, 
as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair 
value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and 
fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial 
recognition depends on the financial asset’s 
contractual cash flow characteristics and the 
Group’s business model for managing them. With the 
exception of trade receivables that do not contain 
a significant financing component or for which the 
Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group 
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value 

plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value 
through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade 
receivables that do not contain a significant financing 
component or for which the Group has applied the 
practical expedient are measured at the transaction 
price determined under AASB 15. 

In order for a financial asset to be classified and 
measured at amortised cost or fair value through 
OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely 
payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the 
principal amount outstanding. This assessment is 
referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an 
instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial 
assets refers to how it manages its financial assets 
in order to operate cash flows. The business model 
determines whether cash flows will result from 
collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial 
assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require 
delivery of assets within a time frame established 
by regulation or convention in the market place 
(regular way trades) are recognised on the trade 
date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to 
purchase or sell the assets.

Subsequent Measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial 
assets are classified in three categories:

•  Financial assets at amortised costs 

•  Financial assets at fair value through OCI with 

recycling of cumulative gains and losses 

•  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at amortised costs 

This category is the most relevant to the Group. The 
Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if 
both of the following conditions are met:

•  The financial asset is held within a business model 
with the objective to hold financial asset in order 
to collect contractual cash flows; and

•  The contractual terms of the financial asset give 
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are 
solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.

 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)

 Financial Instruments – Financial Assets
(continued)

Financial assets at amortised costs (continued)

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently 
measured using the effective interest (EIR) method 
and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses 
are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is 
derecoginsed, modified or impaired.

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost 
includes trade receivables, and loan to an associate 
and loan to a director included under other current 
financial assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
included financial assets held for trading, financial 
assets designated upon initial recognition at fair 
value through profit or loss, or financial assets 
mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. 
Financial assets are classified as held for trading 
if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or 
repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets 
with cash flows that are not solely payments of 
principal and interest are classified and measured 
at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of 
the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria 
for debt instruments to be classified at amortised 
cost or fair value through OCI, as described above, 
debt instruments may be designated at fair value 
through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so 
eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting 
mismatch.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
are carried in the statement of financial position at 
fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in 
the statement of profit or loss.

Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at 
fair value through profit or loss are designated at the 
initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in 
AASB 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated 
any financial asset as at fair value through profit or 
loss.

50

Derecognition

A financial asset is primarily derecognised (i.e. 
removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of 
financial position) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have 
expired; or 

The Group has transferred its rights to receive 
cash flows from the asset or has assumed an 
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full 
without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-
through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has 
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of 
the assets, or (b) the Group has neither transferred 
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of 
the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected 
credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. ECLs are 
based on the difference between the contractual 
cash flows due in accordance with the contract and 
all cash flows that the Group expects to receive, 
discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will 
include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or 
other credit enhancements that are integral to the 
contractual terms. 

The Group does not track changes in credit risk, 
but instead recognises a loss allowance based on 
lifetime (ECLs) at each reporting date. The Group 
has established a provision matrix that is based on 
its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for 
forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and 
the economic environment.

The Group considers a financial asset in default 
when contractual payments are over 90 days past 
due. However, in certain cases, the Group may 
also considers a financial assets to be in default 
when internal or external information indicates that 
the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding 
contractual amounts in full before taking into 
account any credit enhancements held by the Group. 
A financial asset is written off when there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual 
cash flows.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.au(l) 

 Financial instruments – Financial Liabilities

Derecognition

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, 
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss, loans and borrowings, payable as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair 
value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and 
payables, net of directly attributable transaction 
costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and 
other payables, loans and borrowings including bank 
overdrafts.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on 
their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss include financial liabilities held for trading and 
financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition 
as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition 
at fair value through profit or loss are designated 
at the initial date of recognition, and only if the 
criteria in AASB 9 are satisfied. The Group has not 
designated any financial liability as at fair value 
through profit or loss.

Loans and borrowings

This is the category most relevant to the Group. 
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and 
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the (Effective Interest Rate) EIR method. 
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss 
when the liabilities are derecognised as well as 
through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortisation cost is calculated by taking into 
account any discount or premium on acquisition and 
fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The 
EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the 
statement of profit or loss.

This category generally applied to interest-bearing 
loans and borrowings. For more information, refer to 
Note 16.

A financial liability is derecognised when the 
obligation under the liability is discharged or 
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial 
liability is replaced by another from the same lender 
on substantially different terms, or the terms 
of an existing liability are substantially modified, 
such an exchange or modification is treated as 
the derecognition of the original liability and the 
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the 
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss.

(m)  Fair Value measurement

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices 
for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted 
securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and option pricing 
models.

(n)  Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews 
the carrying values of its tangible and intangible 
assets to determine whether there is any indication 
that those assets have been impaired. If such an 
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the 
asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use, is compare to the 
asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s 
carrying value over its recoverable amount is 
expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income.

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

(o)  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a 
legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past 
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of 
economic benefits will result and that outflow can 
be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at the 
best estimate of the amounts required to settle the 
obligation at the end of the reporting year.

 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)

(o)   Provisions (continued) 

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for 
employee benefits arising from services rendered by 
employees to balance date. Employee benefits have 
been measured at nominal amounts expected to be 
paid when the liability is settled (excluding on-costs). 

Provision for long service leave is recognised when 
an employee reached seven years of consecutive 
service.

(p) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with banks, other short-term 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of 
three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank 
overdrafts are shown within financial liabilities in 
current liabilities on the Statement of Financial 
Position.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net 
of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian 
Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST 
is recognised as part of the costs of acquisition 
of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the Statement of 
Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. The net 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
ATO is included with other receivables or payables in 
the Statement of Financial Position

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of 
Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST 
component of investing and financing activities, 
which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(r) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of an asset 
that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to 
get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised 
as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing 

52

costs are expensed in the year in which they are 
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other 
costs that an entity incurs in connection with the 
borrowing of funds.

(s) Trade and Other Receivables

A receivable represents the Group’s right to an 
amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only 
the passage of time is required before payment of the 
consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of 
financial assets in section (g) Financial Instruments – 
initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

The Group applies the simplified approach to 
measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime 
expected credit loss provision for trade receivables 
and contract assets. To measure expected credit 
losses on a collective basis, trade receivables and 
contract assets are grouped based on similar credit 
risk and aging. The contract assets have similar risk 
characteristics to the trade receivables for similar 
types of contracts.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, 
less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(t) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for 
goods and services received by the company that 
remain unpaid at 30 June 2020. Refer to accounting 
policies of financial liabilities in section (l) Financial 
Instruments – initial recognition and subsequent 
measurement.

(u)

 Foreign Currency Translation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is also parent 
company’s functional currency. The functional 
currency of the Group’s main overseas operating 
entities are USD. For each entity, the Group 
determines the functional currency and items 
included in the financial statements of each entity 
are measured using that functional currency. 

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially 
recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective 
functional currency spot rates at the date of the 
transaction first qualifies for recognition.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.auMonetary assets and liabilities determined in foreign 
currencies are translated at the functional currency 
spot rates of exchange rate at the reporting date.

The amount billed to customers are not secured and 
are typically due within 60 – 90 days from an invoice 
date.

Differences arising on settlement or translation 
of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. 
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial 
transactions. 

Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign 
operations are translated into Australian dollars 
at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting 
date and their statements of profit or loss are 
translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates 
of transaction. The exchange differences arising on 
translation for consolidation are recognised in OCI. 
On disposal of a foreign operation, the component 
of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is 
reclassified to profit or loss.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign 
operation and any fair value adjustments to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on 
the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of 
the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate 
of exchange at the reporting date

(v)   Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group is in the business of providing labour hire, 
and support and maintenance services to the mining 
sector. Revenue from contracts with customers is 
recognised when control of the goods or services 
are transferred to the customer at the amount that 
reflects the consideration to which the Group expects 
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. 

Services revenue

The Group derives revenue from the provision of 
maintenance and repair services to mining companies. 
Maintenance and repair services performance 
obligations are fulfilled over time as the group 
enhances assets which the customer controls, for 
which the Group does not have an alternative use 
and for which the Group has right to payment for 
performance to date. Revenue is recognised for each 
contracts based on the agreed contractual rate to 
which the group is entitled.

Warranty obligations

Mader offer warranty on workshop rebuilt 
components including engines and powertrain parts. 
Other warranties items are assessed on a case by 
case basis and if agreed by both parties warranty 
could be offered.

Refund liabilities

Mader do not currently have any specific current 
liabilities related to workmanship. Refunds if offered 
are approved by the CEO and CFO.

(w)  New and amended standards and interpretations

This note explains the impact of the adoption of 
AASB 16 Leases on the group’s financial statements 
and discloses the new accounting policies that have 
been applied from 1 July 2019 in note (j) above. The 
group has adopted AASB 16 retrospectively from 
1 July 2019 but has not restated comparatives for 
the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the 
specific transitional provisions in the standard. The 
reclassifications and the adjustments arising from 
the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the 
opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

(a) 

 Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease 
liabilities in relation to leases which had previously 
been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the 
principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were 
measured at the present value of the remaining lease 
payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental 
borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted 
average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied 
to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 4.3%.

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, 
adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the 
balance sheet at 1 July 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to 
the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets:

The group has also elected not to reassess whether 
a contract is (or contains) a lease at the date of 
initial application. Instead, for contracts entered 
into before the transition date the group relied 
on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and 
Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement 
contains a Lease.

(b)

Issued but not yet effective

Australian Accounting Standards and Intrepretations 
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 2020. These standards are 
not expected to have a material impact on the 
consolidated entity in the current or future reporting 
periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Properties

Total right-of-use assets

(i) Practical expedients applied

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the
group has used the following practical
expedients permitted by the standard:

• The use of a single discount rate to a

portfolio of leases with reasonably similar
characteristics;

• Reliance on previous assessments on

whether leases are onerous;

• The accounting for operating leases with
a remaining lease term of less than 12
months as at 1 July 2019 as short term
leases;

• The exclusion of initial direct costs for the
measurement of the right-of-use asset at
the date of initial application; and

• The use of hindsight in determining the
lease term where the contract contains
options to extend or terminate the lease.

5 4 MADER GROUP 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s 
historical credit loss experience and forecast of 
economic conditions may also not be representative 
of customer’s actual default in the future. The 
information about the ECLs on the Group’s trade 
receivables and contract assets is disclosed in Note 11.

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives 
of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based 
on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties 
in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence 
that may change the utility of certain software and IT 
equipment.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the 
impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based 
on known information. This consideration extends to 
the nature of the services offered, customers, supply 
chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the 
consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed 
in specific notes, there does not currently appear to 
be either any significant impact upon the financial 
statements or any significant uncertainties with 
respect to events or conditions which may impact the 
consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting 
date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus 
(COVID-19) pandemic.

3. 

 Significant accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets 
and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and 
the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty 
about these assumptions and estimates could result 
in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the 
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in 
future periods.

Impairment of non-financial assets

In assessing impairment, management estimates the 
recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating 
unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an 
interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty 
relates to assumptions about future operating results 
and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

Provision for expected credit losses of trade 
receivables

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for 
trade receivables and contract assets. The provision 
rates are based on days past due for groupings of 
various customer segments that have similar loss 
patterns (i.e., by geography, customer type and rating, 
and coverage by letters of credit and other forms of 
credit insurance).

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s 
historical observed default rates. The Group will 
calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit 
loss experience with forward-looking information. 
For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., 
gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate 
over the next year which can lead to an increased 
number of defaults in the mining sector, the historical 
default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, 
the historical observed default rates are updated 
and changes in the forward-looking estimates are 
analysed.

The assessment of the correlation between historical 
observed default rates, forecast economic conditions, 
the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount 
of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances

Management has determined that the strategic operating segments comprise of Australia, United States, all 
other segments (Africa, Asia and South America) and Corporate. These reporting segments provide a more 
balanced view of cross-operational performance across business units, recognising and compensating for inter-
regional differences in relation to technical methodologies and processes, the cost of labour, the existence of 
competition and differing customer requirements that may affect product pricing.

During the financial year two customers within the Australian segment individually contributed greater than 10% 
of group revenue. The revenue received from these two clients was $48.0 million and $30.5 million (2019: $37.5 
million and $32.1 million ) respectively.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms between 30 and 90 days. All amounts are 
short term. The carrying value of trade receivables are considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Refer to note 3 for the basis of input and assumptions.

Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of 
the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries. It is also use to record the effect of hedging net investments in 
foreign operations.

21. Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern 
while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balances. The capital 
structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings in Note 16, cash and equity, comprising 
issued capital and retained earnings.

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

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since 
the prior year. This strategy is to ensure that the Groups gearing ratio (net debt/receivables) is less than 50%.

The gearing ratios for the years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 are as follows:

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial 
instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and 
the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented 
throughout these financial statements.

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. The main 
purpose of these finance liabilities is to finance the Group’s operation. The Group’s principal financial assets 
include trade receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations. 

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program 
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the 
financial performance of the business. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to 
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and 
other price risks and ageing analysis of credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by the finance function under principles and parameters approved by the Board 
of Directors. The finance function identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s 
operating units.

68

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.au22.   Financial risk management (continued)

(a)  Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. 

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures with acceptable 
parameters while optimising returns.

(i)  Foreign currency exchange risk management

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate 
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. . Foreign currency exchange risk arises from future commercial 
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities that denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s 
functional currency. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising 
from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar as a result of its operations in African 
and American regions.

Management has put in place a policy requiring business units and Group entities to manage their foreign 
exchange risk against their functional currency. The Group companies are required to bring evaluation.

Sensitivity

The following tables demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD exchange rates, with 
all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of 
monetary assets and liabilities. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not 
material.

Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates 
primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and 
borrowings and analyses its interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis.

The Group has elected to not include cash balances as the balances are held in transactional accounts with very 
low interest rates, for the purposes of the sensitivity. The Group also does not include any chattel mortgage 
finance leases in the sensitivity as each lease, which are for vehicles, are fixed at the commencement of the 
lease.

(iii) Price risk

The Group is not exposed to material price risk relating to equity securities and it has therefore not been included 
in the sensitivity analysis.

MADER GROUP  2020 ANNUAL REPORTmadergroup.com.au22.  Financial risk management (continued)

(b)  Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meets its obligation under a financial instrument or customer 
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily 
trade receivables and cash deposits). Credit risk is co-operatively managed by the finance function and the 
operating units for customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions and at a Group 
level for credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks and financial institutions. 
Only reputable banks and financial institutions are dealt with.

Trade receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk for trade receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of 
each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including 
the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence 
on credit risk. The Group enters into transactions with a number of high quality customers within the resources 
industry sector thereby minimising concentration of credit risk for trade receivables. The Group has multiple 
contracts with its significant customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries 
and locations. The Group’s activities are largely focused on the mining and mining services industry sectors and 
as a result its credit risk for trade receivables is concentrated in this sector.

Individual risk exposures are set for customers in accordance with specified limits established by management 
based on independent credit reports, financial information, credit references and the Group’s credit and trading 
history with the customer. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any credit concerns 
highlighted to senior management.

Concentration of credit exposure analysis

The concentration of credit risk is monitored by the Group through geographical areas. The following tables show 
the maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date by geographical areas.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, without taking into account the value of any collateral or other security, 
in the event that other parties fall to perform their obligations under financial instruments for each class of 
reporting recognised financial asset at the reporting date is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in 
the statement of financial position.

Cash and cash equivalent

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial 
institutions with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of 
bank overdrafts, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. The Group has established a number of 
policies and processes for managing liquidity risk. These include:

• continuously monitoring cash flows on a daily basis as well as forecasting cash flows on a medium and long-

term basis;

• maintaining adequate borrowing and finance facilities; and

• monitoring the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities in order to match inflows and outflows.

(c)  Capital Expenditure Commitments

There is no capital expenditure commitments as at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).

(d)  Contingencies

The Group has a significant casual workforce given the nature of its business, and has reviewed the outcomes 
of the recent Federal Court decision in WorkPac Pty Ltd v Rossato [2020] FCAFC 84 for its potential application. 
The decision provided further clarity around how the courts would define a casual worker and pointed to 
circumstances where there was a firm advance commitment from the employer and as a result the employee 
had an expectation of continuing and indefinite work.

Management has performed a review of its businesses and how they engage with their casual employees and 
has determined that the outcomes of this case have limited implications to the Group primarily as there is no firm 
advance commitment to our casual workers and therefore no liability has been recognised by the Group. Given 
the broad application and the significant number of casuals that the Group engage there is a potential that an 
obligation may arise in the future should the courts judgement be more broadly interpreted.

There is no other contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).

Subsequent to 30 June 2020, the Directors declared a final dividend of 1.5 cents per share. The final dividend 
was paid on 17 September 2020.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it had affected the international 
operations for the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, 
positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures 
imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintain social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

The Group has executed a multi borrower facility of $62 million to replace existing finance facilities facilities 
which would have expired on 30 September 2020. The facility comprises of an Asset Finance Facility of $25 
million and an Invoice Finance facility of $37 million.

There have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen after the balance sheet date that have 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or 
the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Mader Group Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Mader Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

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

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

Key audit matters

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

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

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

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