Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders, welcome to Mader Group’s Annual Report 
for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (FY21).

As our operations make a robust return to pre-COVID 
growth levels, we remember the journey it has taken 
to get here. From the red dirt of Western Australia’s 
Pilbara outback to the mountainous terrain of 
Colorado, the outlook has been the same – charted 
with the remnants of a worldwide pandemic.  

Closing off the financial year at a historical high, our 
hard work has paid off. We are proud to announce 
another record performance and important milestone 
as Mader Group exceeded $300 million in revenue 
for the first time. Irrespective of the challenges of 
the year passed, we have continued to grow our 
operations with an ethos of comradery and top tier 
workmanship echoed throughout the business.

A laser focus on our people, culture and reputation 
has earnt us a loyal and dedicated team who have 
stuck with us through the thick of unprecedented 
times. Against a backdrop of uncertainty, our 
workforce of more than 1,600 showed great 
resillience and stood unified, working hard and fast 
to ensure customers are supported, and similarly, 
looking out for one another in the field.

The tap on, tap off nature of our services has proved 
advantageous over the financial year, as we’ve learnt 
to navigate border changes quickly, efficiently and 
safely. We are particularly proud of our inhouse 
team of coordinators who have demonstrated their 
strengths in reactive mobilisation with a quickly 
changing landscape to meet customers’ demands.

We’ve built strong and enduring relationships with 
a large network, that allows us to stand where we 
are today - equipped and ready for success. We 
continue to grow strongly and have further solidified 
our leading position as the largest independent 
maintenance provider for heavy mobile equipment in 
Australia, with ambition to become an international 
household name. 

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.aucontinued passion and determination. As the 
Chairman of Mader Group and on behalf of my  
fellow Directors, I welcome you to read our  
FY21 Annual Report. 

Yours faithfully

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman 

We’ve come a long way since our initial public 
offering on the Australian Securities Exchange 
in October 2019, continuing to deliver on results 
irrespective of evolving markets. The relatively 
low capital intensity of the business coupled with 
sustained efficiency and a diversified service mix 
has enabled Mader Group to pay dividends to its 
shareholders whilst continuing to achieve growth. 
Mader Group distributed $6 million to shareholders in 
fully franked dividends over the financial year, to the 
value of 3.0 cents per share. 

Ending the year on a high, we commemorate a 
number of key milestones achieved throughout the 
business, including our boundless expansion across 
North America which will see us enter Canada in the 
coming months. We consider North America well 
suited to the Mader business model and look forward 
to advancing our operations in the region.

In Australia, we added 65 tradespeople to our 
Trade Upgrade Program over the year, bringing 
the program’s total to 92 since inception. With 
candidates eager to broaden their skillsets across 
Australia, we expanded the program’s reach to 
Queensland with significant levels of interest 
displayed from many keen to gain a foothold into the 
mining industry. 

We also welcomed a number of fresh faces to our 
leadership team. This includes Mr Justin Nuich who 
was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in 
January 2021 and Mr Paul Hegarty, appointed Chief 
Financial Officer (CFO) in September 2020.  Both 
bring a wealth of experience to Mader Group with 
their significant value clearly reflected in our solid 
end of year results.  

In closing, I would like to extend our thanks and 
appreciation to the leadership team, employees, 
shareholders, clients and suppliers for their

CEO's Review of Operations

We believe that exceeding the expectations of our 
clients whilst providing superior maintenance; a great 
and safe workplace for our people; and enhanced 
returns to our investors - is the ultimate measure of 
our success. 

As I review our operations for the financial year 
ending 30 June 2021, it’s clear to see that this 
mindset is central to all of our activities and decision-
making. It’s what drives us to take our operations to 
the next level and is reflected in our strong financial 
performance as we close the year on a high.

The success of any business starts with its people 
and culture. Each page of this Annual Report reflects 
a business underpinned by an exceptional team 
culture and workforce alive with positivity and drive. 
Since commencing as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 
and Executive Director in January 2021 (former 
Non-Executive Director and Board Member) I have 
been welcomed into the new role with open arms, 
diving straight into the detail of this fast paced 
and incredibly unique business. I’d like to thank the 
team at Mader Group and our valued customers and 
shareholders for their overwhelming support. 

Safety is Paramount 

Success is about more than generating earnings, it’s 
about keeping our people and our customers safe. 
The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is at 
the forefront of everything we do. Mader Group’s 
Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) 
remained steady throughout the year at 6 injuries 
per million hours worked.

Our pursuit of our zero harm goal is relentless, 
including the ongoing development of our internal 
safety systems. We have rolled out several initiatives 
that empower our people to make the right decisions 
and bring us closer to achieving our goal of zero 
harm. 

Mr Justin Nuich 
Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auDuring the financial year, we: 

Operational Performance 

•  Expanded our Mader Day Program, raising safety 

awareness and encouraging positive safety 
behaviours for internal staff across Australia.

• 

• 

Invested in the safety of our people through the 
roll out of in-vehicle monitoring systems for Mader 
Group's service fleets across the globe.

Increased meaningful leadership interactions in 
the field and operational efficiency through our 
Field Leadership Program.

•  Enhanced employee engagement on our safety 

focused mobile app.

•  Developed our custom-built employee mobile 

app to offer multi-level communication including 
regional broadcasts and alerts. Our app connects 
our remote and mobile workforce and provides 
employees access to integrated safety systems.

The Financial Highlights 

Our full year financial results reflect strong revenue 
and profit growth across the business. In summary:

•  Record revenue of $304 million delivered, up 11.2% 

from $274 million in FY20.

•  EBITDA of $36 million, up 8.2% from $33 million in 

FY20.

•  NPAT of $19 million, up 10.5% from $18 million in 

FY20.

•  Net debt of $24 million, up 29.7% from $18 million 

at the close of FY20.

•  Shareholders received $6 million in fully franked 

dividends, to the value of 3.0 cents per share. This 
included a final payment for FY20 activities, paid 
in September 2020. 

•  A final dividend for FY21 activities declared, to be 

paid on the 28 September 2021, to the value of 1.5 
cents per share, fully franked. 

Over the financial year, Mader Group grew its staff 
base to more than 1,600, providing 3.4 million hours 
of maintenance services to a diverse network of 
over 240 customers across more than 370 sites. 
High demand for our services and enhanced internal 
systems contributed to our performance, as we 
delivered flexible, fit for purpose and cost-effective 
maintenance solutions to our customers across 
seven countries. 

It gives me great pleasure to report record revenue 
of more than $304 million generated across the 
Group earnings of $19 million. Backed by a strong 
balance sheet, increased cashflow, low capital 
intensity, significant global and local growth 
opportunities, Mader Group is well positioned to 
continue this growth trajectory into FY22.

Markets and Growth 

Mader Group has grown and adapted to deliver its 
services across a wide range of markets, with its 
proven business model successfully rolled out more 
than 20 times across new service areas and regions. 
A range of complementary specialist services are 
being delivered alongside our cornerstone offering  
of mechanical maintenance for heavy mobile 
equipment.

This financial year, we placed a dedicated focus 
on expanding our ancillary and infrastructure 
maintenance divisions, seeing strong growth across 
both service lines. We also introduced a number of 
new services including specialist drill and excavator 
services, power generation support, marine 
vessel support and professional support roles for 
maintenance planning and scheduling.

We opened the financial year in two countries due 
to the impacts of COVID-19, however the Group has 
made a steady return to its international operations

and closed the year in seven countries including 
Australia, the United States of America, Mongolia, 
Laos, Papua New Guinea, Zambia and Mauritania. 
Preparations for operational delivery into Canada are 
now also complete with service vehicles primed to 
support inaugural operations.

Australia

Activity levels in Australia were strong with $273 
million generated for the year ending 30 June 
2021, up 10.7% as compared to $247 million in 
FY20. Growth was underpinned by the continued 
geographical expansion of the Company’s service 
areas and the continued scaling of a range of 
complementary and value add services to Mader 
Group’s core offering of mechanical maintenance. 

Across the market, Mader Group provided specialised 
contract labour for the maintenance of heavy mobile 
and fixed plant equipment in mining and civil industries. 
The Company’s skilled workforce provided a range of 
services including rostered labour, highly responsive 
field support (trade qualified specialists with service 
vehicles and diagnostic tooling), shutdown teams for 
major overhauls and a range of ancillary services. Mader 
Group also has a workshop in Perth which provides 
offsite repairs, machine refurbishments, specialised tool 
hire, component rebuilds and a component exchange 
program for mining and civil operations throughout 
Australia.

Mader Group’s Australian operations introduced several 
new services including climate control maintenance 
for heavy mobile equipment; high-level white collar 
support roles for maintenance planning and scheduling; 

EMV (Equipped Manual Vehicle) installations to upgrade 
Autonomous Hauling Systems; power generation 
station support; and equipment maintenance for marine 
vessels and port infrastructure. The Company increased 
revenue generated from its existing ancillary services 
by 20.6% and infrastructure maintenance by 24.3%.

Mader Group’s Trade Upgrade Program (an integrated 
training platform which upskills Light Vehicle and 
Road Transport Mechanics into qualified Heavy Duty 
Diesel Mechanics) inducted 65 new candidates into its 
program during the financial year, bringing the program’s 
intake to 92 tradespeople since inception in late 2019. 
In response to a tightening labour market and increased 
customer demand, Mader Group made the decision to 
expand the program nationally, delivering training both in 
Western Australia and Queensland.

During the period, Mader Group secured a 25% equity 
interest in Western Plant Hire (WPH) for $3.5 million. 
WPH is a mobile plant hire provider with a broad client 
base in Western Australia. Through this strategic, long 
term investment, Mader Group hopes to leverage the 
market positions of both companies to deliver enhanced 
service offerings and improved operational efficiency.

Headquartered in Perth (WA), the Australian Group have 
regional offices in Kalgoorlie (WA), Brisbane (QLD) and 
Adelaide (SA). During the financial year, the East Coast 
management team closed its regional offices in Mackay 
(QLD) and Hunter Valley (NSW) relocating each team to 
a central hub in Brisbane (QLD). The new facility location 
provided added flexibility and mobility for the Group’s 
Eastern State operations and a unified leadership 
structure whilst remaining geographically close to 
customers and workforce in both regions.

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auNorth America

Rest of World (Africa, Asia and Latin America)

Revenue generated in the United States increased 
to $24 million for the year ending 30 June 2021, up 
75.0% as compared to $14 million in FY20 (94.6% 
increase excluding AUD/USD foreign exchange 
movements). Mader Group strengthened its position 
by broadening its customer base and regional 
service areas to deliver heavy mobile equipment 
maintenance. During the financial year, Mader Group 
was active in 14 states including a number of the 
country’s top mineral producing centres.

Supporting several major customers in the resources 
industry, the Group’s USA operations were active in 
strong commodity markets primarily gold, copper and 
zinc. Services provided include rostered labour, highly 
responsive field support (trade qualified technicians 
with service vehicles), shutdown teams for major 
overhauls and training of maintenance teams. 

Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, the Group’s 
USA operations have regional offices in Canonsburg, 
Pennsylvania and Reno, Nevada. During the financial 
year, Mader Group committed additional human 
resources to local office operations to assist with 
recruitment and customer acquisition, attributing its 
continued expansion to the strong recruitment of 
local, high quality labour which represents 90%+ of 
the total US workforce. 

Mader Group also executed a fleet expansion plan 
to facilitate projected growth. Its service fleet has 
increased to 80+ specialised mine spec crane trucks. 
The fleet will also support the Company’s entry into 
Canada as service delivery to the region becomes 
operational.

During the onset of COVID-19, Mader Group made 
the decision to withdraw its expatriate workforce 
from Africa and Asia in April 2020. Subsequently, the 
Group commenced FY21 with no operational activity 
or revenue in this reporting segment.

Plans to re-enter international markets were 
implemented in Q1 FY21 with the division selectively 
re-engaging customers in former areas of operation. 
Whilst demand for Mader’s services internationally 
remained high, new opportunities were assessed 
on a case-by-case basis to protect the health and 
wellbeing of our employees and customers.  

During the financial year, the Company provided 
limited services in Africa and Asia with small 
teams mobilised to provide breakdown support, 
preventative maintenance and training of 
maintenance teams. By the close of FY21,  
Mader Group ramped up its international services 
to deliver recurring scopes of work in five countries, 
comprising Papua New Guinea, Mongolia, Laos, 
Zambia and Mauritania. 

The Mader International division has regional offices 
in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Solwezi, Zambia. Mader 
Group generated $7 million in revenue for the year 
ending 30 June 2021, down 47.0% as compared 
to $13 million in FY20. Although the segment saw 
a fall in revenue vs PCP; activity levels regained 
momentum quarter on quarter.

inclusive workplace that provides employees with 
the guidance, empowerment and prospects to be as 
successful as they can. Today, the business employs 
over 1,600 people globally - many of which would 
commend Mader Group on its team culture, access to

programs have won us an Award of Excellence in the 
Employer of Choice (>1,000 Employees) category 
at the 2020 Australian HR Awards, and a loyal 
workforce that have stuck with us through the 
challenges of the past year.

Equipping the Community

Our community engagement program is global and 
evolving, with a dedicated focus on the regions 
we operate in.  We strive to equip individuals and 
communities with the tools they need to succeed 
in life, through our involvement in a broad scope of 
community projects, events, charity and volunteer 
initiatives. 

This multifaceted and impactful program also 
includes a component that supports our industry's 
superstars of tomorrow through varied support to 
local TAFE Institutes and high schools, commonly 
those based in key mining regions. 

Over the financial year, Mader Group has expanded 
its operations in line with its growth strategy, 
increasing its revenue base and delivering value to 
shareholders without raising external capital. Two 
payments of fully franked dividends were declared to 
shareholders for the FY21 period, totaling $6 million, 
each to the value of 1.5 cents per share. This includes 
a final dividend for the period, declared on 23 August 
2021 and set to be paid to Shareholders on the 
28 September 2021. Dividends distributed for the 
period, represent a payout ratio of 31%. 

Looking Ahead

I’d like to commend the Mader Group team for their 
continued hard work and outstanding achievements 
throughout the year. Looking forward, I am optimistic 
about Mader Group’s future as we build on our 
technical strengths and explore a number of new 
growth opportunities ahead. Whilst the gears in our 
expansion plan are turning, the key drivers behind 
our success remain unchanged. We penetrate 
new markets with a proven business model and a 
powerful focus on our people, safety and culture. Our 
team is more unified and adaptable than ever and I 
look forward to seeing what we can achieve in the 
financial year to come.

Community Engagement

Our global community engagement 
program aims to equip individuals 
and communities with the tools 
they need to succeed in life.

This includes a contingent targeted at supporting 
the industry’s superstars of tomorrow such as 
youth living in remote mining regions or entering 
trades in the maintenance sector.  

Other areas of the program include involvement 
in community projects, sponsorships, charity 
and volunteer initiatives to drive positive change. 
Centered around providing support to the regions 
we operate in, this program plays a key role in 
shaping the communities around us. 

Some highlights this year included:

•  A partnership with Nevada Gold Mines a 

locally based businesses in Elko, Nevada, to 
donate Chromebooks to students struggling 
to gain access to digital learning during 
COVID-19;

•  The donation of protective workwear, 

valedictory award prizes and other resources 
to select high schools and TAFE institutes in 
Western Australia and New South Wales;

•  Sponsorship of the Desert to Reef Fishing 
Tournament raising important funds for the 
WA Police Legacy in the Pilbara, Western 
Australia, providing financial support to the 
children and families of police officers killed 
or seriously injured in the line of duty; and

•  A series of volunteer efforts supporting 
youth in need through Ronald McDonald 
House Charities and Dismantle programs in 
Perth, Western Australia.

By participating in the Home for Dinner Program, Mader Group is helping 
create a home away from home experience for regional WA families in our 
care" Joshua Lawrence, Partnerships Manager (RMHC WA)

The program also provides a fantastic platform 
for employees to submit and implement their own 
ideas, connect with the local community and have 
fun whilst doing so. We believe that this helps our 
people foster a sense of purpose and belonging 
that is critical to maintaining a fulfilled, engaged and 
productive workforce.

"We are grateful to Mader Group 
for their involvement at the 2021 
Desert to Reef Fishing Tournament. 
Companies like Mader make an 
incredible difference to the quality

impacted by the dangers of frontline 
Policework."

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. 

Future Developments

Mader Group is well placed to take advantage of 
growth opportunities and strong commodity markets 
as they present with a dedicated focus on customer 
service and regional diversification to mitigate macro 
market risks and enhance earnings potential.

The Group seeks to improve the quality of its revenue 
base through quality service delivery, operational 
efficiency and strengthened profit margins across 
existing and emerging markets. Its global expansion 
strategy is centred around achieving sustainable 
growth whilst upholding its positive workplace 
culture and world class reputation.

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

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

• 

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

•  Expansion to new addressable markets where use 
of heavy mobile equipment is significant or where 
markets complement Mader Group’s business 
model, service offerings, skill sets and/or abilities; 
and

•  The continued diversification and scaling 
of supplementary services in established 
regions, such as Mader Group’s ancillary 
services and infrastructure maintenance. 
These services are complementary and add 
value to Mader Group’s core capabilities in 
mechanical maintenance. 

20

The Group sees a continuance of the current 
trends in its business and strong macro trends 
with growth momentum expected to be maintained 
through strategic diversification in large existing and 
emerging markets. 

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 its range of service offerings 

and markets entered.

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.

Executive Remuneration

How we determine executive remuneration policies and structures

Four principles guide our decisions about executive remuneration at Mader Group:

•  Fairness: provide a fair level of reward to all employees;

•  Transparency: build a culture of achievement by transparent links between reward and performance;

•  Alignment: promote mutually beneficial outcomes by aligning employee, customer, shareholder interests; and

•  Mader Group Culture: drive leadership performance and behaviours that create a culture that promotes safety, 

diversity and employee satisfaction.

How remuneration is governed

Mader Group has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (the Committee) to assist the Directors 
in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities. The Committee provides advice, recommendations and 
assistance to the Directors with respect to:

•  Remuneration policies for Non-Executive Directors;

•  Remuneration policies for Executive Directors;

•  Remuneration policies for Executive Management;

•  Equity participation;

•  Human resources policies; and

•  Other matters referred to the Committee by the Directors.

26

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auR E M U N E R A T I O N   R E P O R T   -   A U D I T E D

The Committee presently consists of Messrs Jim Walker, Craig Burton, Justin Nuich, Luke Mader and Patrick 
Conway. Mr Burton acts as the Chairman of the Committee.

The Committee may, when it considers necessary or appropriate, obtain advice from external consultants or 
specialists in relation to remuneration related matters at the Company’s expense. During the financial year the 
Company did not engage any such advisors.

Elements of executive remuneration

Fixed remuneration

Executive fixed remuneration is competitively structured and may include cash, superannuation and other 
non-financial benefits. Non-financial benefits generally consist of items to enable the effective discharge of 
the executive’s duties and may include the provision of motor vehicles, mobile phones and computers. Fixed 
remuneration is designed to reward the Executive for their relevant skills, experience and qualifications with 
reference to their role.

Variable remuneration - short-term incentives (STI)

STIs currently take the form of a cash bonus which is paid to Executives following the end of the financial year. 
The Committee is responsible for determining the achievement of the targets and whether a bonus amount is 
paid. The Committee will consider the Executive’s performance and contributions in making their determination.

Features of the STI plan is set out below.

Feature

Description

Maximum opportunity

Performance metrics

Executives can earn up to 3.33% of the increase in Statutory Net Profit Before Tax for the 
financial year, when compared to financial year in which the Executive commenced with  
the Group.

The STI metrics align with the Group’s strategic targets as follows:
•  Economic profit is a core component and aligns to growth in shareholder’s wealth;
•  Attract and retain qualified, experienced and high calibre executives rewarding long term 

commitment to the Group

•  Reward performance and achievement of the Group’s strategic targets

There is currently no long-term incentive plan in place as the Committee believes the current remuneration 
structure is aligned to the Group’s long-term strategic targets.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Mader Group’s Non-Executive Director fee policy is designed to attract and retain high calibre directors 
who can discharge the roles and responsibilities required in terms of good governance, strong oversight, 
independence and objectivity. The fees reflect the demands and responsibilities of the Directors whilst 
incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Directors currently do no receive any additional fees 
for participation in Board Committees.

The Committee reviews non-executive directors’ remuneration annually against comparable companies and 
may consider advice from external advisors if deemed necessary. Non-Executive director fees are determined 
within an aggregated non-executive director fee pool limit of $300,000 per annum. 

Executive Service Agreements

Each KMP has entered into a service agreement with the Company. All KMP are entitled to receive payment in 
lieu of notice of any accrued statutory entitlement (i.e. annual leave and long service leave) on cessation of their 
employment. In addition, all KMP are entitled to participate in the STIP and LTIP that has been disclosed above.

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auNotes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

1.  Corporate Information

These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared 
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Accounting Standards and other authoritative 
pronouncements issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”), and comply 
with other requirements of the law.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards 
ensures that the financial statements and notes 
of the Group comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (FRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (ASB). 
Consequently, this financial report has been 
prepared in accordance with and complies with IFRS 
as issued by the IASB.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated 
financial statements of the Group and were 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution 
of the board of directors dated 23 August 2021. For 
the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial 
statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

These financial statements are presented in 
Australian Dollars ($). Foreign operations are 
included in accordance with policies set out in 
note 2. In addition, the financial statements have 
been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical 
costs are generally based on the fair value of 
the consideration given in exchange for goods 
and services. Fair value is 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, regardless 
of whether that price is directly observable or 
estimated using another valuation technique.

The Company is a company of the kind referred to 
in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 issued 
by the Australian Securities and Investments 
Commission dated 24 March 2016, and in 
accordance with the Corporations Instrument, 
amounts in this report have been rounded off to the 
nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

2. 

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies

(a)  Going Concern

The Directors have, at the time of approving the 
financial statements, a reasonable expectation that 
the Group have adequate resources to continue the 
operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis 
of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

(b)  Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprises the 
financial statements of the Company and the entities 
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control 
is achieved when the Company 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 its returns

The Company reassesses 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 listed above. Consolidation of 
a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains 
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
Company loses control of the subsidiary.  The results 
of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the 
year are included in the profit and loss from the 
date of the Company gains control until the date the 
Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income 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 transactions 
between members of the Group are eliminated in full 
on consolidation.

2. 

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, 
without a loss of control, is accounted for as an 
equity transaction. If the Company loses control 
over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets 
(including goodwill), assets, liabilities and other 
components of equity, with any resultant gain or 
loss resulting from the difference between the 
consideration received and the net financial position 
of the subsidiary is recognised in profit or loss.

(c)  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 compute 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.

Deferred tax 

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, 

42

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.

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 to 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 

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.au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.

(d)  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. Freehold land is 
not depreciated.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on a cost 
basis. At each reporting date, the Group reviews 
the carrying amounts of its property, plant and 
equipment to determine whether there is any 
indication that those assets have suffered an 
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to 
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if 
any). Where the asset does not generate cash 
flows that are independent from other assets, the 
Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating units for which a reasonable and 
consistent allocation basis can be identified.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value 
less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 
discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market 
assessments of the time value of money and the 
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of 
future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its 
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the 

asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to 
its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where an 
impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying 
amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is 
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable 
amount, but so that the increased carrying amount 
does not exceed the carrying amount that would 
have been determined had no impairment loss 
been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating 
unit) in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss to the extent 
that it eliminates the impairment loss which has been 
recognised for the asset in prior years.

An item of property, plant and equipment is 
derecognised upon disposal or when no future 
economic benefits are expected to arise from the 
continued use of the asset. The gains or loss on 
disposal or retirement of the asset is determined 
by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. 
These gains or losses are included in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost 
(other than freehold land) less their residual values 
over the useful lives, using the diminishing value 
method. The depreciation rates used for each class 
of depreciable assets are as follows:

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.

2. 

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

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

(e)  Leases

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 Group 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 Group determines whether a right of use asset is 
impaired and accounts for any identified impairment 
loss as described in the ‘Property, Plant and 
Equipment’ policy above.

The Group 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. Lease 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 

4 4

payments to be made over the term of the lease, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the 
lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the 
Group’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

•  termination penalties

When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment 
is made to the corresponding right of use asset, or to 
the profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right 
of use asset is fully written down.

(f) 

 Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are 
recognised in the Group’s Statement of Financial 
Position when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially 
measured at fair value, except for trade receivables 
that do not have a significant financing component 
which are measured at transaction price. Transaction 
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition 
or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities 
(other than financial assets and liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted 
from the fair value of the financial assets or financial 
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. 

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auTransaction costs attributable to the acquisition of 
financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss are recognised immediately in 
profit or loss.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets 
are recognised and derecognised on a trade date 
basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases 
or sales of financial assets that require delivery 
of assets within the time frame established by 
regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured 
subsequently in their entirety at either amortised 
cost or fair value, depending on the classification of 
financial assets.

The effective interest method is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument 
and of allocating interest income over the relevant 
period. For financial assets other than assets 
that are credit-impaired on initial recognition, the 
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated cash receipts, excluding 
expected credit losses, through the expected life of 
the debt instrument or where appropriate a shorter 
period to the gross carrying amount of the debt 
instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount 
at which the financial asset is measure at initial 
recognition minus the principal repayments, plus 
the cumulative amortisation using the effective 
interest method of any difference between that 
initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for 
any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a 
financial asset is the amortised costs of a financial 
asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is 
included in the ‘Other Revenue’ line item.

The Group derecognises a financial asset only 
when the contractual rights to the cash flows from 
the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial 
asset and substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the 
Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all 

the risks and rewards of ownership and continues 
to control the transferred asset, the Group 
recognises its retained interest in the asset and an 
associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. 
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at 
amortised costs, the difference between the asset’s 
carrying amount and the sum of the consideration 
received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Debt and equity instruments are classified 
as either financial liabilities or as equity in 
accordance with the substance of the contractual 
arrangements and the definitions of a financial 
liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences 
a residual interest in the assets of an entity after 
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments 
issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds 
received, net of direct issue costs.

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
The effective interest method is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability 
and of allocating interest expense over the relevant 
period. The effective interest rate is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments 
(including all fees and points paid or received that 
form an integral part of the effective interest rate, 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) 
through the expected life of the financial liability, or 
(where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised 
cost of a financial liability.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and 
only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, 
cancelled or have expired. The difference between 
the carrying amount of the financial liability 
derecognised and the consideration paid and payable 
is recognised in profit or loss.

(g)    Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected 
credit losses (“ECLs”) on lease receivables, trade 
receivables and contract assets. The amount of ECLs 

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT

45

 
N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes 
in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective 
financial instrument.

The ECLs are estimated using a provision matrix 
based on the Group’s historical credit loss 
experience, adjusted for factors that are specific 
to the debtors, general economic conditions and an 
assessment of both the current as well as forecast 
direction of conditions at the reporting date, including 
time value of money where appropriate.

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased 
significantly since initial recognition, the Group 
compares the risk of a default occurring at the 
reporting date with the risk of a default occurring 
at the date of initial recognition. In making this 
assessment, the Group considers both quantitative 
and qualitative information that is reasonable and 
supportable, including historical experience and 
forward-looking information that is available without 
undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information 
considered includes the future prospects of the 
industries in which the Group’s debtors operate, 
obtained from economic expert reports, financial 
analysts, government bodies, relevant think-
tanks and other similar organisations, as well as 
consideration of various external sources of actual 
and forecast economic information that relate to the 
Group’s core operations.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of 
the criteria used to identify whether there has been 
a significant increase in credit risk and revises them 
as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable 
of identifying significant increase in credit risk before 
the amount becomes past due.

The Group writes off a financial asset when there 
is information indicating that the debtor is in severe 
financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect 
of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed 
under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy 
proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be 
subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s 
recovery procedures, considering legal advice where 
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in 
profit or loss.

46

(h)    Short-Term and Other Long-Term Employee 

Benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to 
employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual 
leave and sick leave in the period the related 
service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of 
the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for 
that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term 
employee benefits are measured at the present 
value of the estimated future cash outflows 
expected to be made by the Group in respect 
of services provided by employees up to the 
reporting date.

(i) 

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

(j) 

  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 taxation 
authority. 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 
tax authority is included within ‘Other Receivables 
or Other Payables’ in the Statement of Financial 
Position.

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of 
Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component 
of cashflows arising from investing and financing 
activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, 
the taxation authority is classified within operating 
cash flows.

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auFor the purpose of presenting consolidated financial 
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s 
foreign operations are translated at exchange rates 
prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense 
items are translated at the average exchange rates 
for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate 
significantly during that period, in which case the 
exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. 
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised 
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in 
a foreign exchange translation reserve (attributed to 
non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. disposal of 
the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or 
a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary 
that includes a foreign operation of which the 
retained interest becomes a financial asset), all the 
exchange differences accumulated in a foreign 
exchange translation reserve in respect of that 
operation attributable to the owners of the Company 
are reclassified to profit or loss.

(k)    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 
costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in 
which they occur.

(l) 

 Foreign Currency Translation

In preparing the financial statements of the 
Group entities, transactions in currencies other 
than the entity’s functional currency (foreign 
currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange 
prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At 
each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities 
that are denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. 
Non-monetary Items carried at fair value that are 
denominated in foreign currencies are translated 
at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair 
value was determined. Non-monetary items that 
are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss 
in the period in which they arise except for:

•  Exchange differences on foreign currency 

borrowings relating to assets under construction 
for future productive use, which are included in the 
cost of those assets when they are regarded as 
an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign 
currency borrowings

•  Exchange differences on monetary items 

receivable from or payable to a foreign operation 
for which settlement is neither planned nor likely 
to occur in the foreseeable future (therefore 
forming part of the net investment in the foreign 
operation), which are recognised initially in other 
comprehensive income and reclassified from 
equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial 
disposal of the net investment.

2. 

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a 
subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that 
does not result in the Group losing control over the 
subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated 
exchange differences are re-attributed to non-
controlling interests and are not recognised in profit 
or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial 
disposals of associates or joint arrangements that 
do no result in the Group losing significant influence 
or joint control), the proportionate share of the 
accumulated exchange differences is reclassified 
to profit or loss.

(m)    Revenue Recognition

The Group derives revenue from labour hire 
and support and maintenance services to the 
mining sector. Revenue is measured based on the 
consideration to which the Group expects to be 
entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes 
amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The 
Group recognises revenue when it transfers control 
of a product or service to a customer.

Services revenue

Contracts entered into can cover services which 
may involve various different processes or servicing 
of related assets. Where these processes and 
activities are highly interrelated, and the Group 
provides a significant service of integration for 
these activities, they are taken as one performance 
obligation. The transaction price is allocated across 
each performance obligation based on contracted 
prices. Variable consideration may be included in 
the transaction price. The performance obligation is 
fulfilled over time as the Group enhances the assets 
which the customer controls, for which the Group 
has no alternative use and has a right to payment for 
performance to date.

Revenue is recognised in the accounting period 
in which services are rendered. Customers are in 
general invoiced for an amount that is calculated 
based on agreed contract terms in accordance 
with stand-alone selling prices for each 
performance obligation.

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.au(n)   Adoption of New and Amended Standards and Interpretations

Impact of the initial application of new and amended Standards that are effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to the Australian Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Standards Board (“AASB”) that are effective for an annual period that 
begins on or after 1 July 2020. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the 
amounts reported in these financial statements.

Amending Standard

Description

AASB 2018-7 
Amendments to 
Australian Accounting 
Standards – Definition 
of Material

The Group has adopted these amendments for the first time in the current year. The 
amendments make the definition of material in AASB 101 easier to understand and are not 
intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in Australian Accounting Standards. The 
concept of ‘obscuring’ material information with immaterial information has been included as part 
of the new definition.

The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed from ‘could influence’ to ‘could 
reasonably be expected to influence’. The definition of material in AASB 108 has been replaced 
by a reference to the definition of material in AASB 101. In addition, the Standard also amends 
other Australian Accounting Standards and the Conceptual Framework that contain a definition 
of ‘material’ or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency.

AASB 2019-1 
Amendments to 
Australian Accounting 
Standards – References 
to the Conceptual 
Framework

The Group has adopted the amendments included in AASB 2019-1 for the first time in the 
current year. The amendments include consequential amendments to affected Australian 
Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of the 
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the “Conceptual Framework”) by the AASB.

The amendments include:
•  Framework or to clarify which version is being referenced. These amendments apply to for-
profit private sector entities that have public accountability and are required by legislation 
to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other for-profit entities that voluntarily 
elect to apply the new Conceptual Framework

•  Permit other entities to continue using the Conceptual Framework adopted by the AASB 

AASB 2019-5 
Amendments to 
Australian Accounting 
Standards – Disclosure 
of the Effect of New 
IFRS Standards Not Yet 
Issued in Australia

This standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures by adding 
a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the 
information specified in AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and 
Errors on the potential effect of an IFRS standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB. The 
Group has adopted these amendments for the first time in the current year.

3.  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described above, management are required to make 
judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions 
about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered 
to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the 
period of the review and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgements and estimations that management have made in the process of applying 
the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements:

•  Assessment and impairment of property, plant and equipment (Note 2(d))

•  Estimation of expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Note 2(d))

•  Estimation of allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets (Note 2(g))

Ordinary shares

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the 
proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares 
held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limit on the amount of 
authorised capital.

20.  Reserves

Nature and purpose of reserves

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of 
foreign operations with functional currencies other than those of the presentation currency of these financial 
statements.

21.  Financial Instruments

Financial risk management objectives

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments 
which include foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 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 borrowings, lease liabilities and trade and other payables. The 
main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial 
assets include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The 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. Different methods are used to measure 
different types of risk to which the Group is exposed to. These methods include age analysis in the case of credit 
risk and monitoring market rates in the case of interest rate 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.

Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with 
respect to the US dollar. Consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise as a result of transactions 
that are denominated in a currency other than the Group’s functional currency. To minimise the risk, management 
utilises a natural hedge by ensuring both the customer contracts and recoverable costs are denominated in the 
same foreign currency. As a result, the impact to the profit or loss would be immaterial.

62

MADER GROUP  2021 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auInterest rate risk

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 based on floating interest rates. Manages the 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.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet 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 from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions. The 
credit risk associated with the Group’s financing activities is limited because counterparties are banks with high 
credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

As the Group’s activities are largely focused on the mining and mining services industry, its credit risk for 
trade receivables is concentrated in this sector. 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. To further minimise the Group’s credit risk exposure, transactions are entered into with a 
number of key operators within the resources industry. During the financial year two customers individually 
contributed greater than 10% of group revenue.

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 trade receivables are regularly monitored with focus being placed on 
customers that exceed their credit terms and who are not within the specified limits established by management. 
Refer to the ‘Trade and Other Receivables’ note for further details on the expected credit loss allowance 
recognised. The maximum exposure to credit risk, without considering the value of any collateral or other 
security, in the event that other parties fail to perform their obligations is the carrying amount of the financial 
assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position.

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 its 
available financing facilities. The Group has established a number of policies and processes for managing liquidity 
risks which include:

•  maintaining adequate borrowing and finance facilities

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

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 2021, 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:
