Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders, I am honoured to present to you Mader's Annual 
Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22). 

It is truly rewarding to look upon the last financial 
year and acknowledge the significant progress we 
have made in the pursuit of our strategic goals. 
Since listing on the ASX in 2019 Mader has delivered 
on its growth agenda through continued service 
line and geographical diversification – from humble 
beginnings in Western Australia, to steadily becoming 
a global provider of specialist technical services 
across multiple industries.  

Reporting another record-breaking performance as 
Mader surpasses $400 million in revenue for the first 
time, it is clear that the challenges we have faced 
over the past few years have made our business 
more adaptable than ever.  

With our 2,200 strong team displaying unwavering 
commitment, we placed a dedicated focus on our 
people. Treating obstacles as valuable learning 
experiences, we effectively tightened processes and 
systems to support our workforce as they navigated 
a dynamic operating environment. 

Guided by an action-oriented management team, 
our inclusive culture of fellowship and comradery is 
underpinned by our core value of safety. We make 
it our priority to ensure we do everything in our 
power to keep ourselves and those around us safe. 
Our team stood united when we lost one of our own 
in a non-work related incident in March. We extend 
our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and 
colleagues of Bradley Taylor.  

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auHaving regard to Mader's unique positioning in the 
market, robust balance sheet and organic growth 
opportunities I am optimistic about what the future 
holds for the business. On behalf of the Board, I 
would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to our 
shareholders, customers and suppliers for your 
ongoing support. 

To the Mader team, thank you for making this year our 
best yet. We recognise that you are the driving force 
behind our business, without your hard work and 
dedication our achievements would not be possible. 
It is with great pride that I invite you to read our FY22 
Annual Report.  

Yours faithfully

Jim Walker 
Non-Executive Chairman 

Our results are a direct reflection of continued 
delivery against our strategic growth priorities, with 
solid foundations laid through organic start-ups in 
new markets. Highlighting the latest in our campaign 
to expand across North America, we have leveraged 
our industry experience and relationships to launch 
Mader Energy and our Canada business unit.  

Introducing the Mader business model to the oil and 
gas industry has proved favourable, with our tap on, 
tap off services now being delivered to a number 
of customers in the large addressable energy 
market. Aligned to our vision of becoming a globally 
recognised household name, we are pleased with 
the milestones we have achieved in expanding our 
portfolio of service offerings.  

In Australia, the business’ ancillary and infrastructure 
maintenance divisions have optimised existing 
operations to widen service areas and deliver support 
across multiple states. Backed by an exceptional 
team, we have played to our strengths and swiftly 
pivoted to meet market needs. As a key pillar in our 
growth strategy, identifying further geographical 
and project opportunities is fundamental in driving 
success.  

A record financial performance, coupled with 
improved earnings has enabled an increase in returns 
to shareholders, with a total of $8.0 million declared 
during the period. Dividends distributed for the period 
represent a payout ratio of 31%*. 

* Calculated based on adjusted net profit after tax which removes the impact of sale of associate.

CEO's Report of Operations

As I reflect on the year that was, I am humbled to 
say that the themes our Founder and Executive 
Director, Luke Mader, embedded into the business at 
inception, are alive and stronger than ever.

17-years on, we continue to cultivate an electric and 
progressive culture that pulses through the veins of 
our operations globally. Building upon our position 
as an employer of choice, we have given our people 
access to unprecedented opportunity as we evolve 
into a truly diversified, global business. 

We close the year standing tall with 2,200 
employees and look to the horizon with a view to 
outperform expectations, set new benchmarks 
and provide compounding returns for our people, 
customers and investors. 

Safety is Paramount 

Safety comes first, always. Returning our people 
home safely to their loved ones is our top priority. 
Creating safe systems of work and reducing hazards 
is key to ensuring our workforce are empowered to 
be their best both physically and mentally. Mader’s 
Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) 
improved significantly over the financial year, with 
4.48 recordable injuries per million hours worked. 
The improvement is a testament to the ongoing 
development of our safety processes, systems and 
communication. 

Over the financial year, we: 

• 

Introduced vehicle ignition interlock devices to 
improve driver safety across our workforce. The 
trial was complete in FY22 with devices being 
installed throughout FY23 for our Australian fleet.

•  Tested cutting-edge artificial intelligence 

technology to monitor driver fatigue and detect 
unusual driver behaviour.

Mr Justin Nuich 
Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer 

10

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.au•  Rolled out our custom-built mobile app to 

•  Enhanced returns for shareholders with dividend 

our workforce in North America, effectively 
connecting our remote network of employees to 
company news, important alerts and safety tools. 

• 

Introduced an online training platform within 
our Mader mobile app and launched a series of 
safety-related training modules to support the 
development and education of our workforce. 

•  Streamlined internal systems to track and monitor 

employee vaccination statuses as required 
by local government mandates and to satisfy 
customer requirements. 

• 

Increased frontline leadership and safety 
interactions through site visits and Mader Day’s 
to improve workplace safety behaviour and 
awareness. 

Sadly, on 13 March 2022, we lost one of our team 
members, Bradley Taylor, in a non-work related 
incident in Western Australia. We extend our 
heartfelt condolences to Bradley’s family, friends 
and colleagues and continue to provide channels of 
support and counselling to those affected.  

The Financial Highlights 

Our ability to sustainably deliver against our strategic 
priorities and growth goals is reflected in our results 
across the Group. Demonstrating the strength and 
stability of the business, we are pleased to report the 
following financial highlights in FY22:

•  Mader generated record revenue of $402.1m, up 

32% from $304.3m in FY21. 

•  EBITDA* of $48.0m delivered, up 34% from 

$35.7m in FY21.

•  NPAT* of $26.0m delivered, up 34% from $19.3m 

in FY21.

•  Net debt of $26.7m, equating to net leverage of 

~0.6x*.

growth of 33%.

•  During the financial year, shareholders received 

$7.0 million in fully franked dividends, to the value 
of 3.5 cents per share (1.5 cents final FY21, 2.0 
cents interim FY22).

•  A final dividend for FY22 activities declared, to be 
paid on the 27 September 2022, to the value of  
2.0 cents per share, fully franked.

We are tremendously proud to have outperformed 
our FY22 market guidance of at least $370 million 
in revenue and $24 million in NPAT. Exceeding our 
revenue guidance by 9%, exemplifies the efforts of a 
high performing team, motivated culture and unique 
business model that we continue to deploy across 
the world.

Operational Performance 

Active in nine countries, we successfully diversified 
service offerings and expanded into new markets to 
support over 350 customers across more than 480 
locations. Backed by a 2,200 strong workforce, our 
technical specialists provided 3.9 million hours of 
maintenance and support across the mining, energy 
and industrial sectors.

The business maintained a strong balance sheet, 
positive operating cash flow and low capital intensity 
which has allowed us to rapidly address market 
opportunities as they present. I am incredibly 
optimistic about the trajectory of the Mader business 
and the value we will extend to shareholders. 

Markets and Growth 

Mader’s growth profile is impressive. Placing a focus 
on expanding our market share, we targeted a series 
of opportunities; launched new services; reached 
new regions and built a name for ourselves in new 
sectors.

C E O ' S   R E P O R T   O F   O P E R A T I O N S

With an adaptive business model that allows us 
to deliver across a range of markets, we were able 
to introduce new revenue streams into the Group 
through the establishment of two organic start-ups 
in North America; Mader Energy and our Canada 
business unit. Both operations delivered first 
revenue in FY22 and are expected to develop into 
key growth drivers for the business in FY23. 

This financial year also saw our ancillary and 
infrastructure maintenance divisions experience 
significant growth. Both service lines were well 
received in new geographical markets with 
infrastructure maintenance providing support in 
five states; Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria, 
South Australia and Northern Territory. We also 
introduced a hard rock equipment maintenance 
service based out of Mt Isa, Queensland, to focus 
specifically on hard rock mineralisation and its 
associated equipment maintenance requirements. 

Our newer service lines; specialist drill and excavator 
services, power generation and marine vessel 
support, hard rock equipment maintenance and rail 
services are all expected to accelerate rapidly as we 
establish a stronger brand presence and build our 
customer base in these large markets. 

International activity continued to rebound, with the 
Group’s specialists supporting a global network of 
customers and providing technical advisory across 
nine countries, including Australia, the United States 
of America, Canada, Laos, Mongolia, Papua New 
Guinea, Philippines, Mauritania and Zambia.

Australia

Mader’s Australian business performed strongly, with 
$342.0 million revenue delivered for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2022. The 25% increase on FY21 
reflects our commitment to scaling operations through 
service diversification and geographic expansion.

A positive economic landscape and tight labour 
market in Australia saw demand increase for both 
our core mechanical services and ancillary products. 
Through field support (technical specialists with 
service vehicles and diagnostic tooling), shutdown 
crews and rostered labour, our in-house team of 
specialists kept our customers’ operations online 
and powering. Our newer service lines continued 
to advance from strength to strength, providing 
maintenance for rail equipment, power generation 
facilities, marine vessels and port infrastructure.

Infrastructure maintenance and our ancillary 
services remained key pillars in our growth strategy, 
with revenue generated increasing by 120% and 
20% respectively. A rise in demand for light vehicle 
mechanics, heavy road transport mechanics and 
boilermakers attributed to growth in our ancillary 
division, whilst geographical expansion was a primary 
driver for infrastructure maintenance. 

Currently reported within our ancillary segment, 
our rail services division delivered maintenance and 
repairs across locomotive and wagon equipment 
in Western Australia with goals to commence 
operations on the East Coast of Australia in early 
FY23.

On the East Coast, operational growth was aided by 
strengthening commodity prices and the introduction 
of new service lines. Responding to demand we 
introduced a dedicated specialist excavator and 
drill rig support team, and a hard rock equipment 
maintenance service. Both service lines provide 
highly specialised maintenance and opportunities to 
broaden our revenue base whilst adding value for our 
customers. 

The completion of our custom-built Mader 
Maintenance Centre in Perth was a high point of the  
year, with the first of a series of rebuild projects  
commencing in early FY23. The economics of the 
world-class facility are underpinned by an impressive 

12

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auforward order book of 28 machine rebuilds, valued 
at more than $20 million. Replacing our existing 
workshop, the 3,400m2 space has significantly 
increased our capacity, allowing us to provide large-
scale offsite repairs and equipment rebuilds for 
customers throughout Australia.

Working to close the skills gap, Mader’s tailored  
Trade Upgrade Program continued to deliver. 
Operating in Western Australia and Queensland, 
the program gave almost 70 Light Vehicle and Road 
Transport Mechanics the opportunity to develop 
their skills and become qualified Heavy Duty Diesel 
Mechanics, with 28 participants graduating from the 
program in the year. We are proud to have received 
recognition, winning a Training Excellence Award at 
the 2021 Australian Business Awards, a testament to 
the hard work of the entire team. 

Last financial year, we acquired a 25% equity interest 
in Western Plant Hire (WPH), a Western Australian 
based mobile plant hire provider. Although the 
business performed well and delivered solid returns, 
we made the decision to divest based on capital 
allocation rationale. The disposal was completed in 
January 2022 and proceeds will be redeployed to 
fund growth activities across the globe. 

Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, our 
Australian operations are also supported by regional 
offices in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia; and Brisbane, 
Queensland. With community-based support we 
were able to maintain unbeatable flexibility and an 
exceptional service for our customers.

North America

Revenue generated in North America increased to 
$50.0 million for the year ended 30 June 2022, up 
107% on the $24.2 million delivered in FY21 (100% 
increase excluding AUD/USD foreign exchange 
movements). Revenue growth was driven by the 
segment’s mining operations in the United States, 

with the team supporting several new customers 
and increasing volume across existing operations. 
The team provided a full suite of mechanical and 
electrical services, rounding out their capabilities 
with the introduction of a new custom welding and 
fabrication service.

Central to Mader’s growth strategy, North America is 
a large addressable market for the Group, brimming 
with business development opportunities including 
our latest start-ups; Mader Energy and our Canada 
business unit. Both ventures were launched and 
delivered first revenue within the financial year –  
a remarkable accomplishment for the Group.   

Key management personnel were repositioned to 
support our North American operations in FY22, 
leveraging industry relationships to build brand 
awareness and secure a steady pipeline of work 
across the continent. Our unique business model 
has been well received in all markets with operations 
trending positively and strong growth in several key 
mineral producing regions. During the year, our team 
of technicians were deployed throughout 20 states 
for scheduled and unplanned maintenance support. 

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, our new start-up 
in Canada was boosted by our Global Pathways 
Initiative; an internal program that allows highly 
skilled expatriate technicians to stretch their legs 
across the world whilst supporting a global network 
of customers. The Canadian team also secured a 
fleet of Dodge Ram 5500 crane trucks with fully 
heated cabinets and an additional order has been 
placed in anticipation of projected growth. 

Mader Energy was introduced to support customers 
across the United States’ oil and gas sector; the 
world’s largest energy market. Based in Fort Worth, 
Texas, the new business will initially provide natural 
gas compressor maintenance in several states. The 
organic start-up introduces a new revenue stream 
for the Group with large growth potential. Since

commencement, the business has established a 
strong industry presence and a stable customer 
base with upstream and midstream operators across 
multiple shale formations. 

Rest of World (Africa, Asia and Latin America)

Our Rest of World segment has endured a number of 
challenges in recent years, including varying mobility 
and work permit restrictions. Despite these hurdles, 
the Group has achieved year-on-year growth 
with high global demand resulting from a large 
maintenance deficit. In the financial year, we placed a 
focus on securing new opportunities whilst actively 
re-engaging existing and previous customers. 

In Africa, our team delivered comprehensive 
shutdown and breakdown support in Mauritania, 
effectively improving digger and drill fleet reliability 
for a key customer. In Zambia, we provided hands-on 
technical advisory services, with our OEM-trained 
team imparting their best practice knowledge to 
the local workforce. Visiting Zambia on a business 
development trip, our management team were 
able to return to the Kijilamatambo Primary School 
in Solwezi for the first time since the pandemic. 
After funding the construction of the school’s new 
classroom block in 2018, our team were thrilled to  
deliver supplies and conduct building repairs four 
years on. 

In Asia, our team completed a major project in 
Laos, welcomed a new client in the Philippines and 
continued to provide technical support in Mongolia. 
Additionally, we increased support for customers 
in Papua New Guinea as travel restrictions eased 
to allow safe and efficient mobilisation into these 
regions. 

We are encouraged by the outlook in this area and 
have taken proactive steps to rebuild operations to 
pre-covid levels. We have strategically bolstered our 
management personnel including the introduction of 
a business development manager employed to drive 
growth in the segment in FY23.

Our People and Culture 

Whilst performance against our strategy was 
exceptional, it would not be possible without 
our passionate and dedicated team. Reaching 
a milestone of 2,200 employees is reflective of 
our vision – to provide a transparent, flexible and 
inclusive workplace where the safety and wellbeing 
of our people is the highest priority. To encourage our 
staff and enable their accomplishment, we are proud 
to offer global career opportunities, training and 
development, leadership pathways and unmatched 
flexibility and job variety. 

Driving continuous improvement, we utilise 
effective leadership and communication, coupled 
with enhancements in our digital strategy and 
internal systems to support a fast-paced, team 
environment. Our adaptable business model allows us 
to remain nimble, increasing flexibility around roster

alongside their work mates. We look forward to rolling 
out this program globally in the year to come.

These programs and initiatives have earned us 
external recognition, landing Employer of the Year

Equipping the Community

This financial year, we were pleased to formally intro-
duce our community engagement program, Tools for 
Life. Tools for Life aims to equip individuals and com-
munities with the tools they need to build a better 
future and succeed in life. Getting involved in  
numerous volunteer, charity and sponsorship  
initiatives around the globe, the program effectively 
recognises the opportunity we have to improve  
socio-economic development in the regions we 
operate in. 

With a focus on youth, education and support, we 
are proud to be encouraging the future generation 
to identify available pathways and build sustainable 
careers within the industry.

A Bright Future
It is an exciting time in the journey of Mader. From the 
heat of the desert to freezing snowfields – we get 
the job done no matter what it takes. Behind the hard 
work, greasy spanners, night shifts, long swings and 
extreme conditions is a united and passionate team 
celebrating every win and having fun along the way. 

With clear goals and a resilient mindset, we forge 
ahead fearlessly. We look to the future with optimism 
and confidence, knowing that our disciplined 
approach and ability to recognise our strengths will 
enable us to achieve incredible feats.

Yours sincerely 

Justin Nuich

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 is well positioned to address growth 
opportunities and strong commodity markets 
as they present, with a dedicated focus on 
diversification to mitigate macro market risks and 
enhance earnings potential. 

The Group’s growth pillars seek to improve the 
strength of its revenue base, with a dedicated focus 
on service line, geographic and sector diversification 
to effectively improve profit margins across 
existing and emerging markets. Its global expansion 
strategy is staggered in two key phases; primary 
and secondary to ensure long-term, sustainable 
momentum. 

Primary: 

•  North America

• 

Infrastructure Maintenance

•  Mader Energy

Secondary: 

•  Other Ancillary Services

•  Power Generation and Marine

•  Rail Services

The Board is confident that Mader’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 new 
and existing addressable markets. 

24

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

• 

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

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

•  Sector and geographic diversification through 

expansion to new addressable markets that suit 
Mader’s business model, skillsets and/or abilities. 

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:

•  Total commodity/mineral 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, energy and industrial 
companies outsource equipment maintenance.

The Group’s specific growth strategies include:

•  Being an employer of choice;

•  Replicating the business model in new areas;

•  Continuing to diversify by commodity;

•  Continuing to maintain and develop new customer 

relationships; and

•  Continuing to expand its range of service offerings 

and markets entered.

Mader's economic performance and future

Group’s ability to maintain its culture; maintaining 
quality of work and delivery; occupational health, 
safety and environment; potential downturn in

relations policy or labour laws; reliance on key 
customers and projects; foreign operations; increase

Executive Remuneration

How we determine executive remuneration policies and structures

Four principles guide our decisions about executive remuneration at Mader:

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

diversity and employee satisfaction.

How remuneration is governed

Mader 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.

30

MADER GROUP  2022 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.

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, plus any discretionary amounts as decided by the Board in its sole discretion.

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

Variable remuneration - long-term incentives (LTI)

LTIs currently take the form of an equity incentive plan for eligible participants. The LTI offered to Executives forms 
a key part of their remuneration and assists to align their interest with the long term interest of shareholders. 
The purpose of the LTI is to reward Executives for attaining results over a long, measurable period and also as a 
retention mechanism.

In accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by the shareholders at a previous annual general meeting, 
rights may be offered by the Board to Executives and are an entitlement to receive ordinary shares in the Company 
upon satisfaction of applicable performance conditions. The Committee is responsible for determining the 
achievement of the targets and whether the performance hurdles have been satisfied.

Features of the LTI plan is set out below.

Component

Description

Types of securities

The plan provides the Company with the ability to grant Performance Rights or Share 
Appreciation Rights (Rights).

Performance Rights

Each Performance Right constitutes a right to receive one 
share upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting or exercise 
conditions. 

Share Appreciation Rights Each Share Appreciation Right constitutes a right to receive a 

number of shares upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting or 
exercise conditions. The number of shares granted is calculated 
in accordance with the following formula:

•  Resulting Value divided by the Subsequent Market Value;

•  Resulting Value is defined as the Subsequent Market Value 
less the market value of the share as at the date of grant;

•  Subsequent Market Value is defined as the market value of a 

share as at the date of exercise.

Rights may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to eligible participants from time to 
time in the absolute discretion of the Board. Luke Mader and non-executive directors are not 
eligible to participate in the plan.

Rights will vest if and to the extent that any applicable performance, service and other 
vesting conditions specified at the time of the grant are satisfied, deemed to be satisfied or 
waived and the Company has given the participant a vesting notice.

The plan has the flexibility for vested Rights to be settled in either shares or cash. Cash 
settlement will only be available if the Company sets out in the terms and conditions of an 
invitation to participate in the plan that cash settlement is available.

Rights will be issued with an expiry date. If no date is specified, the expiry date will be the 
business day prior to the 15 year anniversary of the date of grant.

If a participant ceases employment, their vested and unvested Rights will automatically be 
forfeited unless the Board determines otherwise.

In line with the Group's long term strategic plan, the LTI rewards performance and 
achievements through the following targets:

Type

Target

FY24 Performance Rights The Group achieves net profit after tax of $40 million

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Mader'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.

The Company has executed a deed of access,

the Company to indemnify each Director for 
liability incurred by the Director as an officer of the 
Company subject to the restrictions prescribed

each Director a right of access to Board papers and 
requires the Company to maintain insurance cover

permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify 
an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related 
body corporate against a liability incurred as such an

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.auNotes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2022

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 (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 
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 22 August 2022. 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, 

46

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 other 

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.aucomprehensive income 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.

(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 

48

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  2022 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.

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(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 
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 

50

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.

(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,

cash flows.

equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial 
disposal of the net investment.

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.

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.

(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

 Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

52

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT madergroup.com.au(n)   Share Based Payments

Equity settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at 
the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market 
based vesting conditions. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity settled share based 
transactions are set out in the Share Based Payments note.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a 
straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments 
expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision 
of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the 
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserves.

Equity settled share based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair 
value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which 
case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the enity 
obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

(o)  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 2021. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the 
amounts reported in these financial statements.

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))

•  Estimation of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market 

based vesting conditions and valuation of the equity instruments (Note 2(n))

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.

Nature and purpose of reserves

(a)  Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

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.

(b)  Share Based Payments Reserve

The share based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of the vesting of equity settled share based 
payments provided to employees, including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration.

21. Share Based Payments

Equity Settled Rights Plan

The Group has an equity incentive plan for eligible participants by offering them Performance Rights (PRs) and/or 
Share Appreciation Rights (SARs). In accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by the shareholders at 
a previous annual general meeting, eligible participants include employees and certain Executive Directors of the 
Group as declared by the Board from time to time.

In accordance with the plan, each performance right constitutes a right to receive one share and each share 
appreciation right constitutes a right to receive a number of shares upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting or 
exercise conditions. The number of shares granted for share appreciation rights is calculated in accordance with 
the formula approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting.

22.  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.

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 debt obligations based on floating interest rates. Management minimizes 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.

A sensitivity analysis has not been disclosed in relation to the floating interest rate financial instruments as the 
net results of a reasonable change in interest rates has been determined to be immaterial to the profit or loss.

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 

MADER GROUP  2022 ANNUAL REPORT

69

 
 
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

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, one customer 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.

The following table details the risk profile of trade and other receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix. As 
the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different cus-
tomer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between 
the Group’s different customer segments.

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 2022, 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.
