Chairman’s Report

As the potential impacts of 
COVID‑19 became clear in early 
2020 your Board and the leadership 
team accelerated efforts to ensure 
the business’s cash position was 
sound and it is indeed pleasing to 
report that despite the impacts of 
COVID‑19 and a rapidly declining 
end market the Net Debt position  
of MaxiTRANS is 61% ($20m) lower 
than at the end of FY19. A combination 
of ongoing improvement in cost 
base, inventory management and 
debt collection have been the 
predominant drivers of this and 
reflect the company value of 
“Become better every day in  
all that we do”. 

Strategically the Board has shifted 
much of its focus to the short/
medium term outlook. While the 
external environment remains so 
fluid we will continue to focus on 
maintaining a prudent approach  

As a Board we also understand  
this approach has had an impact  
on those of you who have come to 
expect a dividend from MaxiTRANS 
and by association our share price. 
I can assure you it is our intention 
to return to dividend payments  
as soon as we feel comfortable  
and confident in the end market 
environment and balance sheet 
position. Unfortunately, when this 
will occur is something I cannot 
estimate given the uncertain times. 

Looking towards the FY21 year,  
I am pleased to say that our trailer 
orderbook in Australia is in its  
best position since FY18 as a result 
of the recent rains south of the 
NSW/Queensland border and  
an improving position in the 
Maxi‑CUBE (grocery/fresh food) 
segment. This combined with  
the continued resilience of the 
MaxiPARTS business positively 

Looking towards the FY21 year, I am pleased to say  
that our trailer orderbook in Australia is in its best 
position since FY18 as a result of the recent rains  
south of the NSW/Queensland border and an improving

segment. This combined with the continued resilience  
of the MaxiPARTS business positively supports the  
first half outlook when compared to last year.

to the balance sheet and new 
expenditure on growth activity  
will be constrained as much as 
possible. An improving balance 
sheet will enable the business to 
review all options as they become 
available both during and after  
the COVID‑19 market impact. 

MaxiPARTS has again shown an 
enviable level of resilience in the 
year with normalised profitability 
effectively flat despite the COVID‑19 
impacts. This underpins the 
Board’s desire to continue growing 
MaxiPARTS as a percentage of the 
MaxiTRANS group revenue and 
profitability; however this will 
always be balanced with a prudent 
approach to debt and the balance 
sheet position. 

supports the first half outlook when 
compared to last year. As a business 
we remain concerned about the 
medium term impacts of COVID‑19 
and associated implications of the 
winding back of government support, 
making it even more difficult to give 
longer term guidance than the usual 
cyclical challenges of our end markets.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, 
we thank you for your ongoing 
support and we hope that you  
and yours stay safe.

Robert H. Wylie 
Chairman

Dear Shareholder,

As chairman of MaxiTRANS,  
I must admit that I would never 
have expected to be reflecting  
on the year with a backdrop of  
an ongoing global pandemic. 
Firstly, let me sincerely thank  
our staff for the tireless efforts 
they have put in over the year to 
ensure everyone remains safe  
and for enabling our operations  
to continue supporting our 
customers despite all that  
has occurred. 

Similarly, without the ongoing 
support of our customers during 
these times MaxiTRANS would  
not be in the position it is today.  
On behalf of our entire business 
and the many suppliers – most of 
whom are small businesses – that 
support us in Australia and New 
Zealand, we thank every customer.

The Managing Director’s Review 
provides further detail, but I would 
also like to mention the whole  
of government approach in both 
Australia and New Zealand to 
COVID‑19. The combination of 
actions taken definitely helped 
MaxiTRANS continue to employ 
people through the difficult times 
and in most cases, continue  
to operate without substantial  
shut downs. 

Turning to the year just gone  
and our ongoing safety journey at 
MaxiTRANS, the year saw a 35% 
reduction in the Recordable Injury 
rate and an 82% reduction since 
FY15. We will continue to focus  
on “Sending all our people home 
safely” with a focus in FY21 on 
mental health.

Managing Director’s Review

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

FY20 has again seen declining  
end markets which led the business  
to dramatically reduce costs 
through the year and focus on  
cash generation. This resulted in 
$8.4m of realised savings in the 
year with another $1.6m to be 
realised in the FY21 year. As the 
potential impacts of COVID‑19 
became clearer in early 2020, 
MaxiTRANS remained firmly 
focused on cash generation and 
maintaining balance sheet stability. 
This resulted in Net Debt of $12.1m 
at June 30, a $40.2m reduction over 
the last 18 months. MaxiTRANS 
achieved an operating cash inflow 
of $31.4m, of which $4.5m related 
to early customer receipts for the 
Trailer Solutions business and 
$8.7m of lease payments (AASB‑16 
reporting related). The remainder 
of $18.2m was predominantly due 
to inventory and debtor reductions.

As disclosed in the H1 FY20  
results, the Group initiated 
substantive cost reductions over 
calendar year 2019. The annualised 
target of $10m remains on track 
with 84% being delivered in FY20 
and late FY19. 

The Group has worked with our 
debt holders to develop a revised 
suite of debt covenants with effect 
from 1 July 2020.

MaxiPARTS

Despite the impacts of COVID‑19, 
MaxiPARTS external revenue grew 
by 1.5% over PCP. Underlying EBITDA 
before corporate allocations on  
a like‑for‑like basis adjusted for 
AASB16 Lease accounting was  
in line with PCP at $8.4m.

As was the case with the entire 
business, efficient use of capital 
remained a focus through the year 
with stock turns improving by  
11% in the year. 

Organic growth initiatives continued 
to support the MaxiPARTS business 
and largely offset the end market 
challenges over FY20. Sales to  
fleet customers looking to take 
advantage of MaxiPARTS integrated 
offering grew by 24.5% while the 
programs aimed at expanding the 
portfolio further into truck and bus 
markets which had an 8% growth.

Trailer Solutions

Revenue in the year declined 15.4% 
over PCP driven by a continued 
decline in the external trailer market. 

Throughout the year operating 
efficiencies continued to be achieved 
predominantly in the main plant  
in Ballarat – with efficiency and 
manufacturing quality measures 
well ahead of FY19. 

Dear Shareholder,

Before starting the detailed  
MD report, I would like to reiterate 
the comments of our Chairman 
and recognise the efforts of our 
customers through COVID‑19.  
As Ben Maguire (outgoing Chief 
Executive of the Australian 
Trucking Association) has  
said regularly over 2020, “the 
importance to Australian society  
of the Trucking and Logistics 
sector has become more apparent 
in recent times than anyone could 
imagine”. The same sentiment 
applies equally in New Zealand.

Similarly, to our staff and their 
families, thanks so much for  
the hard work and effort you  
have put in to support our 
customers and by association  
the Australian community.

Managing Director’s Review (Cont.)

Overhead cost reduction targets 
remained on track. Despite these 
measures delivering a $10.1m 
benefit, which weren’t significant 
enough to offset the decline in 
volume, mix and manufacturing 
overhead recoveries of $17.1m.

The efficiency improvements 
introduced by the manufacturing 
team should be extended into the 
Queensland operations over the 
next 2 years with benefits of the 
ERP (Enterprise Resource 
Planning) system and new site 
coming together. The new Brisbane 
site becomes operational in Q2 
FY21 with benefits expected to start 
accruing in H2 FY21 and FY22. 

COVID‑19 

In H2 FY20 some sections of  
the business were eligible for 
government assistance packages 
(JobKeeper in Australia and Wage 
Subsidy Scheme in New Zealand).

As a result of this, MaxiTRANS  
was able to retain total employment 
at similar levels throughout the 
March‑June period, with a relatively 
small number of forced shut  
down days.

Government assistance in the 
period totalled $5.2m, with the 
Instant Asset write off program 

also assisting Trailer Sales 
volumes in May and June.

MaxiTRANS does not anticipate 
being eligible for any additional 
funding post 30 September 2020.

Outlook

While the ongoing impacts of 
COVID‑19 remain uncertain in  
both the near and medium term, 
MaxiTRANS will remain focused  
on efficient use of capital and 
shorter term financial controls. 
Investment in any new growth 
programs will be constrained  
for the foreseeable future.

MaxiPARTS continues to perform 
well in these challenging times  
and remains well positioned to be 
an active part of the Commercial 
Vehicle Aftermarket Parts segment 
consolidation after COVID‑19.  
This remains MaxiTRANS’ strategic 
growth platform into the future.

After a rapid reduction in  
revenue early in the COVID‑19 
pandemic, MaxiPARTS revenue 
grew consistently to finish the  
year at volumes which were 
comparable to pre‑COVID‑19 levels. 

As infection rates fluctuate  
in the Australian community 
MaxiTRANS expects a level of 
short‑term volatility, although  

the experience of H2 FY20  
supports return to trend 
performance quite quickly.

In the Trailer Solutions business, 
recent rains support what is likely 
to be one of the better South East 
Australian grain crops in recent 
years with an associated increase 
in MaxiTRANS bulk tipper segment. 
Recent quotation levels have been 
higher than the last 12 months, and 
when combined with a sustained 
conversion rate this has resulted  
in an improved order‑book position 
heading into FY21. COVID‑19 
presents a potential risk to delivery 
of these orders if there is any 
supply chain disruption or  
further lock‑downs interrupting 
production.

Counter to this the New Zealand 
order book remains low as 
customers defer ordering due  
to economic concerns.

The COVID‑19 virus and associated 
economic impacts remains a risk  
to the Group.

Dean Jenkins 
Managing Director & CEO

Strategic activity to focus on near term

Whilst maintaining consistent pathways of strategy the scope has been refined to ensure we 
underpin continued focus on balance sheet prudence:

 „ Operational excellence – Ensure the Group’s 
systems and processes deliver high quality, 
cost effective products and services, with a 
focus on margin over chasing market share.

 „ Return on Assets – Actively review the  

most efficient use of the Group’s assets  
to deliver the best return on our 
shareholders’ investment.

 „ Growth – Leverage market leading position  
to optimise opportunities in MaxiPARTS.

 „ People – Continue investing in Inclusion  
and Diversity programs, supported by 
continuation of our front line and senior 
leaders’ development program.

 „ Safety – Continued focus on improving  

our safety performance to not only ensure  
we send our people home safely but that 
MaxiTRANS’ products design also sends  
our customer’s people home safely.

MaxiPARTS –  
POSITIONED FOR FUTURE

Business Resilience

MaxiPARTS has been able to 
produce another strong result for 
FY20 despite all the headwinds 
from the second half. 

Throughout the duration of the 
year, the business proactively 
implemented a range of cost 
reduction programs including 

personnel restructure, discretionary 
cost controls and rental support 
that saw year on year profitability 
continue to impress.

year at exceptionally good  
levels which contributed  
to the overall Group’s cash 
generation. These programs 
were sustainable and have not 
impacted the strong operating 
fundamentals or service  
levels within MaxiPARTS.

Impacts of COVID‑19

Sustaining Strong Operations 

Pleasingly, after the market shock 
in March 2020 when COVID‑19  
first started to impact Australia, 
MaxiPARTS’ activity progressively 
recovered with trading returning  
to pre‑COVID levels by Q4.  
This, combined with strong 
inventory management processes 
and active communication with the 
supplier base, means MaxiPARTS 
did not experience any material 
impact on stock availability.

The specific organic growth 
projects implemented over the  
past few years around both 
customers and products has led  
to MaxiPARTS becoming a more 
diverse business and better able  
to produce consistent results 
through various market cycles.

With the volatility of the 
Australian dollar and a slowing 
market, MaxiPARTS did observe 
an impact on margin that 
resulted in a decline by 1% YoY. 
However, with local increases 
being passed on to customers, 
along with price inflation on 
imported products implemented 
on 1 June 2020, MaxiPARTS saw 
a recovery in the last quarter.

Furthermore, to maintain 
profitability in this abnormal 
period, the business 
implemented a range of 
working capital improvement 
projects that saw both inventory 
and debtor days finish the

CUSTOMER 
FOCUSED

Cementing relationships

“The team at MaxiTRANS were terrific. They listened and worked with us to deliver to our requirements. 
The added convenience of being locally manufactured in Brisbane enabled Boral to be closely involved  
in the whole build process, in turn fostering a fantastic partnership with MaxiTRANS.” 

MaxiTRANS has shifted focus over 
the course of the past year to become 
further engaged with our customers. 
As we continue to grow customer 
cadence, our focus allows MaxiTRANS 
to invest a greater emphasis in 
delivering a more responsive dealer 
network. We’ve continued to expand 
our network which includes new 
partnerships in Western Australia 
(Roadwest Transport Equipment, 
G&A Lombardi) and Victoria  
(GTM Shepparton). 

The year ahead we will continue to 
expand our partnerships to focus 
on uptime for our customers by 
ensuring they have greater access 
to parts and service support. 

Partnering for success

MaxiTRANS believes in partnering 
with its customers to establish 
long‑term relationships, building 
on our commitment to offer 
complete support throughout the 
life of our products and beyond. 

One example is Boral Logistics 
which recently decided to replace 
its aged fleet of side tippers, 
turning to MaxiTRANS to help  
find the ideal solution to distribute 
its quarry products throughout 
Western Queensland. 

Segment growth

While the overall trailer market 
declined through FY20, Freighter 
and Maxi‑CUBE continued to hold 
market position within the general 
freight and grocery segments,  
in a challenging market. 

MaxiTRANS’ bulk segment brands 
continue to perform in line with 
market movement as declining civil 
works, infrastructure projects and 
drought impact market growth.

Coming into FY21 MaxiTRANS  
has already seen a positive uplift  
in demand for bulk product,  
driven by positive outlook within  
the agriculture sector.  

The business has established a 
need for additional resources to 
meet this demand and support this 
growth through recruitment drives 
at both Victorian and Queensland 
manufacturing facilities. 

Customer Loyalty

Our customers’ loyalty is only 
possible because of the continued 
investment in the evolution of our 
brands, as well as our dedication  
to securing long term relationships 
with our stakeholders. Uniquely, 
our customer success model 
reflects both legacy in almost  
75 years of service and converting 
customers of the future. 

Many clients we partner with  
are in their third generation 
supporting MaxiTRANS as their 
partner of choice.

Proud OEM 

MaxiTRANS is a proud Australian 
manufacturer. 

To help showcase this, the company 
embarked on the journey to become 
accredited to use the Australian 
made logo. The use of the highly 
recognisable logo demonstrates 
MaxiTRANS’ commitment to 
Australian manufacturing and 
Australian jobs, while providing  
our customers with peace of  
mind that they are supporting 
Australian made products.

Supporting Industry

During the past twelve months, 
MaxiTRANS has actively increased 
its participation and voice in key 
industry associations at a national 
level. MaxiTRANS has positioned 
itself as a driving voice for a more 
efficient and safer road network 
through industry involvement  
with the ATA (Australian Trucking 
Association) and HVIA (Heavy Vehicle 
Industry Association Australia). 

As we closed the book on another 
successful year of providing 
customers with transport solutions, 
we celebrated a key milestone  
for the Hamelex White portfolio. 
2020 marked 25 years for this iconic 
Australian tipper brand which is a 
testament to the support from our 
loyal customers over the journey.

As we press ahead into the new 
year, MaxiTRANS will continue  
to celebrate milestones and key 
achievements. Most notably  
will see Freighter, Australia’s 
leading general freight brand, 
celebrate 75 years. Additionally,  
our manufacturing facilities  
will mark the production of the 
100,000th unit.

Supporting Industry 

FY21 will see an expansion in manufacturing capacity for  
MaxiTRANS as plans to open a new purpose built facility in  
Carole Park, Queensland are realised.

Supporting Community 

MaxiTRANS continues to grow  
from strength to strength in 
supporting initiatives that better 
our communities. Throughout  
the year MaxiTRANS raised over 
$19,000 in support for ‘RUOK? Day’. 
In its third year, we continue to 
enhance the awareness of mental 
health and are proud to have  
been able to donate almost  
$45,000 since MaxiTRANS first 
partnered with RUOK. 

Drought, Bushfires, and hardship 
attracted a lot of media attention 
throughout 2019 and into the 
beginning of 2020, and again, 
MaxiTRANS united and assisted in 
many initiatives, including drought 
and bushfire relief programs,  
as well as loaning our equipment  
to donate supplies to affected 
communities. This included 
donating in excess of 22 pallets of 
food, water and gifts to a drought 
stricken NSW outback town in 
Trundle in time for Christmas.  
In all instances, our community 
participation is something 
MaxiTRANS employees value.

OPERATIONAL  
SUMMARY

High Performance Culture

Operational Excellence

Manufacturing Capability

Despite FY20 volumes being  
lower than FY19 driving the  
need to reduce our fixed costs, 
MaxiTRANS continued to make 
progress with operational 
excellence. This was achieved 
through consolidating the  
efforts into a smaller number  
of strategic projects focussed  
on core disciplines of MxPS 

(MaxiTRANS Production System) 
and Engineering and Supply Chain. 

We also continued with the 
evolution of our Queensland 
manufacturing footprint.  
Each of these projects  
delivered very positive results. 
Efficiency across manufacturing 
improved by $3.9m and on‑time 
delivery has improved YoY. 

The Queensland Manufacturing 
project has absorbed a substantial 
amount of resources in FY20  
and will culminate in Q2 2020  
with the launch of the new  
Carole Park facility. 

It will also have the ability to 
manufacture Freighter product, 
allowing us to diversify our 
manufacturing capability.

Manufacturing again made 
significant progress in safety 
in FY20. The real highlight for 
this year was at Richlands 
manufacturing facility running 
the last 9 months of the year 
without suffering a recordable 
injury. Ballarat reduced injury 
frequency rate by more than 50%.

SIGNIFICANT  
PROGRESS IN  
SAFETY

Safety Performance

From a safety perspective,  
our KPIs improved in all  
areas, led by the reduction  
in our Total Injury Frequency  
Rate (TIFR) which was  
down by an impressive  
35% compared to FY19. 

33%

We have also seen a reduction 
in First Aid reported injuries of 
33% compared to FY19. Through 
our early intervention program 
we have had over 80 employees 
participate, reducing the number 
and costs of claims submitted 
while making the experience  
of recovery from minor injury 
more seamless for our people.

35%

Building Diversity 

The Carole Park facility will provide 
greater safety, flexibility, efficiency 
and quality outcomes for our business 
and our customers. 

Designed to match the equipment 
levels and standard processes 
available at Ballarat, Carole Park 
will provide greater capacity to the 
MaxiTRANS Group and will serve 
us well, in addition to covering any 
total market growth.

It has been another big year for 
MaxiTRANS on the people front. 
FY19 was about building foundations 
while moving into FY20 our goal was 
to embed the critical processes  
that enable people growth.  
To date, we’ve invested in more  
than 100 employees undertaking  
a leadership program, which  
equips participants with tools to help 
drive a high performance culture. 

MaxiTRANS conducted in‑depth 
research to get a better 
understanding of the barriers  
to creating a diverse culture.  
Focus on driving inclusion was 
identified as necessary if we  
want to successfully build  
diversity. Positively, we have  
more than doubled our female 
promotion rate from 10.5%  
last year to 27.6% this year.

subjected to regular government agency audit and site 
inspections. The Group has a policy of complying with its

Operating & Financial Review

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Group operates two types of businesses:  
the Trailer Solutions business comprising the  
design, manufacture, sale and servicing of trailers  
in australia and New Zealand; and the Parts  
business, MaxiPaRTS, a trailer and truck parts  
business in australia.

The Group continued its focus on cash generation  
and debt reduction throughout FY20 with operating  
cash inflows of $31.4 million. When adjusted for the 
change in aaSB16 Leases, this would be $22.7 million 
(FY19: $6.1 million outflow), allowing the Group to repay 
a further $6.0 million in debt and reduce its Net debt to 
$12.1 million (FY19: $32.0 million) at 30 June 2020. Since 
February 2020, the Group, along with the rest of the 
australian and New Zealand economies, has been 
affected by COVid‑19. Government assistance in the 
period totalled $5.2m, with $4.9 million in JobKeeper 
support from the australian government and $0.3 million 
in Wage Subsidy from the New Zealand government. 
The instant asset write off program also assisted 
Trailer Sales volumes in May and June.

Parts Business – MaxiPARTS

The Parts business sells commercial vehicle parts  
at both a wholesale and trade level in australia.

The trade business sells parts to road transport 
operators as well as commercial vehicle service  
and repair providers in australia under the 
MaxiPaRTS brand.

The wholesale business operates in Victoria, 
Queensland, New South Wales and Western australia. 
Wholesale customers are typically part resellers and 
trailer manufacturers. at the end of FY20, MaxiPaRTS 
operated 20 wholesale sites and retail stores.

The MaxiPaRTS business experienced a 1.5% growth in 
external revenue and maintained a consistent year on 
year profit despite the effect of COVid‑19 in the second 
half. This revenue growth reflects the continued success 
of the specific organic growth projects implemented over 
the past few years around both customers and products 
leading to MaxiPaRTS becoming a more diverse business 
and better able to produce consistent results through 
various market cycles.

MaxiPaRTS continues to operate as a key supplier to our 
manufacturing and service facilities, thus ensuring parts 
and component procurement is leveraging the Group’s 
full scale, procurement and logistics capability.

17

With the decline in revenue for the year and the  
non‑cash impairment of the assets of $44.5 million 
pre‑tax (refer below), net loss after tax attributable to 
MaxiTRaNS equity holders was $35.5 million in FY20.

The Group reported impairment of $44.5m during the 
year: impairment of Goodwill $4.9m; and impairment 
of Other non‑financial assets for the Trailers division 
of $39.6m. The impairment was a result of the current 
and forecast end customer market conditions for the 
Trailers division.

Legal proceedings in relation to the Transform eRP 
commenced in late FY19 and the Group has incurred 
$2.0 million on the litigation to 30 June 2020.

Cash Generation & Capital Management

Operating cash flow was positive $31.4 million in FY20. 
When adjusted for the change in aaSB16 Leases, this 
would be $22.7 million which represents an increase 
of $28.8 million from the cash generated in FY19 
(FY19: Cash outflow $6.1 million).

The Group’s focus on cash generation has delivered 
significant improvements to working capital during FY20 
resulting from reductions in inventory ($0.9 million), 
debtors ($15.8 million) and increased deferred  
revenue (i.e. customer deposits received in advance) 
($1.4 million) with an offset through a decrease in 
creditors ($3.5 million). added to this was an income  
tax inflow of $3.8 million.

during FY20, the Group completed a sale and leaseback 
of the rental trailer fleet of $4.9 million enabling the 
rental fleet to grow by approximately 50 trailers during 
the year. Capital expenditure continued to be a key focus 
with a 60% reduction year on year.

Net debt at 30 June 2020 was reduced to $12.1m from 
$32.0m at 30 June 2019. This resulted in the Net debt  
to equity ratio at 30 June 2020 being reduced to 16%, 
down from 28% in FY19.

External Financing Facilities

during FY20, the Group reduced the available facility 
to $43.75m. This facility is sufficient to support the 
business in its current form. The facility is currently 
drawn to $37.5 million with a Net debt at 30 June 2020 
of $12.1 million.

Report of the Directors (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Trailer Solutions Business

The Trailer Solutions business has a diverse portfolio of 
trailers with market leading brands and a reputation for 
high quality with customers. Sales of products through 
our dealer network, comprising both owned dealerships 
and licensed dealerships provides a full solution 
including after sales service and parts to customers.

Australia

Trailer Solutions revenue in the year declined 15.4% over 
the PCP driven by a continued decline in the external 
trailer market. Leading to Revenue in the first half of 
FY20 declining 19.9% over the prior corresponding  
period (“PCP”). Order intake from our customers for  
both new and used trailers significantly improved on  
the introduction of the australian Federal government 
incentive to increase the instant asset write off threshold 
from $30,000 to $150,000 on the 12 March 2020, enabling 
the australian Trailers division to increase revenues  
in the May and June period.

Trailer solutions continues to focus on operating 
efficiencies with efficiency and manufacturing quality 
measures well ahead of FY19 and cost reductions 
remaining on track. Overhead cost reduction targets 
remain on track. despite these measures delivering 
a $10.1m benefit, these weren’t significant enough to 
offset the decline in volume, mix and manufacturing 
overhead recoveries of $17.1m.

New Zealand

Revenue from our New Zealand business was in line  
with the prior year. Margins were lower in the second  
half due to the impact of COVid‑19 affecting the 
Company’s supply chain out of China and staff availability.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Sales

Total revenue decreased by 9.9% for the year to 
$317.6 million.

The Parts business recorded a 1.5% external revenue 
increase to finish FY20 with revenue of $114.4 million  
and the Trailer business decreased external revenue  
by 15% to finish FY20 at $203.2 million.

Profit

underlying eBiTda was $14.7 million. From 1 July 2019, 
the new accounting standard aaSB16 Leases came into 
effect, moving $9.4 million of rent costs to interest and 
amortisation. adjusting for the effect of aaSB16 Leases, 
underlying eBiTda would have been $5.3 million 
(FY19: $14.2 million).

ANNUAL REPORT 202018

MaxiTRaNS iNduSTRieS

Report of the Directors (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

RISK

MaxiTRaNS recognises that risk is inherent in its 
business and that effective risk management is essential 
to protecting the business value and delivering the 
ongoing performance of the business.

The MaxiTRaNS audit & Risk Management Committee, 
a sub‑committee of the Board, governs the framework 
and process for the identification and mitigation of 
material business risks.

Operational Risks

during FY20, the Group continued to deliver its risk 
management maturity roadmap to address the latest 
requirements of global risk management standard 
iSO31000:2009.

The Group identifies risk based on likelihood and 
materiality. By understanding and mitigating key  
risks, we can:

Foreign Exchange & Commodities Risk

The Group has exposure to movements in the australian 
dollar against the united States dollar, the euro and the 
Chinese Yuan.

The Trailer Solutions business has exposures to these 
currencies arising from the purchase of raw materials 
and components consumed in the manufacture of 
trailers. The Trailer business also has significant 
exposure to commodity price fluctuations for steel  
and aluminium used in the manufacturing process. 
Similarly, the Parts business also has exposure to  
these currencies as a result of importing parts for sale.

The Group has a policy of only hedging foreign currency 
cash flow risk utilising forward contracts to protect 
against movements in short term committed expenditure.

The Group does not hedge against currency risk arising 
from the translation of foreign operations.

depreciation of the australian dollar may:

•  increase the likelihood of achieving our strategic  

•  adversely affect the operating cost base and therefore 

goals and objectives;

•  improve our decision making and capital  

allocation; and

•  enhance corporate governance and 

regulatory compliance.

The key operational risks identified are as follows:

•  COVid‑19 effect on the Group’s operations,  

customers, suppliers, and the global economy;

•  Health and Safety of our people;

•  Manufacturing process efficiency, iT systems,  

quality and delivery schedule;

•  Trailer sales pipeline management, pricing and 

retention of key customers;

•  MaxiPaRTS key customer retention and 

competitiveness; and

•  Finance and governance; management of working 
capital; an appropriate funding model; internal 
policies and procedures; changing regulatory 
environment and maintenance of proper licences 
to operate the business.

Management report to the audit & Risk Management 
Committee on the ongoing status of activities in place 
to mitigate each of these risks.

margins. The Group currently hedges short term 
committed foreign currency purchases. Some or  
all of this risk may be further mitigated by price 
management and efficiency improvement, however;

•  also benefit the Group insofar as it also acts as 
a potential barrier to entry for imports that may 
be uncompetitive in price against locally 
produced products.

Conversely, an appreciating australian dollar  
against major currencies increases the risk of import 
competition. The specialised and customised nature 
of the trailer industry, together with demand for 
short delivery times, reduces this risk.

HEALTH & SAFETY

MaxiTRaNS has continued to see outstanding results 
within Health Safety environment (“HSe”) and wellbeing, 
with an all‑time low total injury frequency rate of 14. 
This is a massive 35% decrease compared to last  
year and continues the trend of reductions in injuries 
since FY15. it is a commendable achievement and is 
helping achieve our core value of ‘Send all our people 
home safely’.

The Board continues to see the safety of our people 
as a priority and currently monitors, and will continue 
to monitor, the Group’s health and safety performance 
on a monthly basis.

Report of the Directors (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

STRATEGY

OUTLOOK

Given the uncertain times in which MaxiTRaNS  
is operating, the Board has decided to reduce  
strategic activity in scale, scope and to focus on  
nearer term benefit.

Whilst maintaining consistent pathways of strategy 
the scope has been refined to ensure they underpin 
continued focus on balance sheet prudence:

•  Operational excellence that will ensure the Group’s 
systems and processes deliver high quality, cost 
effective products and services. With a focus on 
margin over chasing market share;

•  Leveraging its market leading position to  
optimise organic growth opportunities in  
the MaxiPaRTS markets;

•  Continue investing in inclusion and diversity 
programs, supported by continuation of our  
front line and senior leaders development  
program; and

•  actively review the most efficient use of the  

groups assets to deliver the best return on our 
shareholders investment.

•  underlying this will be a continued focus on  

improving our safety performance to not only  
ensure we send our people home safely but that 
MaxiTRaNS’ products are designed to also send  
our customer’s people home safely.

it is expected market conditions in the australian  
trailer market will continue to be slow as the impact  
of COVid‑19 is compounding the already low levels  
of consumer confidence and other macro‑economic 
drivers remain soft while operators continue to age  
their fleets. This has the potential to affect performance 
in both the MaxiPaRTS business as well as the  
australian Trailer business.

MaxiPaRTS has shown strong resilience through 
the COVid‑19 period to date and whilst growth may 
be slower, the underlying business is expected to 
remain strong.

The australian Trailer business has been supported 
in offsetting this risk through the australian Federal 
government incentive to increase the instant asset  
write off threshold from $30,000 to $150,000 (through  
to 31 december 2020) combined with the 15 month 
investment incentive (through to 30 June 2021) and  
is expected to continue to benefit the Trailer Solutions 
business during this period. Rains in South eastern 
australia should also support a higher production  
rate of Bulk Tipper trailers during the grain season  
in H1 FY21.

in the short term, order intake is improving, in food and 
grocery, general freight and tipper sectors, benefiting  
the Group’s Maxi‑CuBe, Freighter, Hamelex White and 
Lusty products. These product lines are directly affected 
by the broader economic conditions, the crop outlook  
and the timing of commencement of new housing and 
infrastructure projects.

On behalf of the Board, i am pleased to present the FY20 Remuneration Report. This report sets out the remuneration 
information for our Non‑executive directors and Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) and describes our approach to 
remuneration. Our remuneration approach has been set to align with our broader business strategy to grow the business 
and deliver shareholder value. Through short and long‑term variable reward programmes, it aims to reward executives 
for delivering target financial outcomes and improved shareholder value.

We have made a number of changes to our remuneration structure during FY19 and FY20. to better align the remuneration 
of our executives with the interests of our shareholders. The main changes included:

•  linking the short term incentive to four Company Priorities (annual Financial results, People, Safety, Strategy) 

with individual weightings varying year on year depending on the needs of the Company;

•  requiring an employee to remain employed by the Group on the date of payment of the short term incentive in order 

to receive that payment; and

•  a profit gate to the short term incentive program whereby executives will only ordinarily be eligible for a payment if the 
Group achieves 100% of the target net profit after tax (NPaT), subject to board discretion for exceptional circumstance.

i would like to acknowledge the stakeholders who have shared their feedback with us over the past year. 
We are committed to ensuring the needs of our shareholders are front and centre in the development of our 
remuneration approach.

1.  Approach to remuneration

MaxiTRaNS’ remuneration approach is set in line with the business and talent strategy in order to ensure MaxiTRaNS 
attracts and retains the right talent to drive the business forward. The executive package is based on 3 remuneration 
components, that make up the Total Remuneration Package (details of each component are explained in the table below). 
Our approach is reviewed every year to ensure that it is still relevant and competitive.

an annual grant of 
Performance Rights which, if 
they vest on the achievement of 
specific long‑term performance 
hurdles, give the right to be 
issued a number of ordinary 
shares in the Company

2.  Alignment of FY20 variable remuneration outcomes to performance

Rem Component & Conditions

Link to Company Performance

STi – drives annual Company performance  
against 4 priorities – Strategy deployment,  
People, Safety and annual Financial Results

LTi – a yearly % ROiC increase drives executives  
to manage the business in a way that creates  
long term shareholder value

The net profit after tax hurdle was not achieved,  
so no other performance targets were considered

The performance rights issued in 2017 were due to  
vest this year. The target ROiC for those performance 
rights was 7.95%. The actual ROiC was 1.67%.  
Therefore, those performance rights did not vest

3.  Long Term Incentive Program (LTI Program)

(a)  Who participates?

at the discretion of the Board, senior managers and executive directors of the Company are invited to participate in the 
LTi Program.

(b)  What type of awards are granted?

Performance rights are granted to participants. each performance right will, on its exercise, entitle the holder to receive 
one fully paid ordinary share in the Company, which will rank equally with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares.  
The exercise of a performance right is subject to certain performance hurdles being met.

(c)  How is the size of the award calculated?

an award of performance rights is calculated by reference to a participant’s remuneration package. in FY20 the Managing 
director received performance rights equal to 25% of his total remuneration package. For other participating executives, 
the value of their performance rights was 20% of their total remuneration package.

(d)  How is the number of rights to be awarded calculated?

The number of performance rights a participant receives is calculated on a “face value” basis by dividing the participant’s 
performance right entitlement by the Company’s share price. The share price is determined using the volume weighted 
average price (VWaP) over the first month of the financial year in which the rights are granted (ie, for rights granted in 
2020 with a FY20 base, the July 2020 VWaP is used). This is on the basis that the start of the financial year is the starting 
point for measuring the achievement of the ROiC target.

(e)  What is the performance period?

Performance rights are tested over a three year period. awards made in FY20 will be tested over the period 1 July 2019  
to 30 June 2022.

(f)  What is the performance hurdle?

The performance rights will vest and be exercisable only if the performance hurdle attached to the performance rights 
is satisfied.

The performance hurdle for all performance rights on issue is return on invested capital (“ROiC”). ROiC is calculated by 
taking a company’s net operating profit less adjusted taxes (“NOPLaT”) and dividing it by the invested capital. ROiC is seen 
as the most appropriate measurement of management’s performance to focus the right attention on the efficient use of 
capital within the business.

The performance hurdle for all performance rights currently on issue is to achieve the target average ROiC over a period 
of 3 years. a sliding scale will apply for partial attainment of the performance hurdle. The minimum target is 67% of the 
targeted improvement in ROiC, which must be achieved before any of the performance rights vest, at which point 50% of 
the performance rights will vest. 100% of the performance rights will vest if the target ROiC is fully achieved or exceeded.

Report of the Directors (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

any unvested performance rights will lapse. For the Performance Rights proposed to be granted in FY21, the performance 
hurdle is consistent with the previous year’s grant and requires a ROiC of 6.95% as at 30 June 2023. The ROiC targets for 
LTis that have been granted but have not yet vested are:

The Board has discretion to determine award outcomes for participants in certain circumstances, such as when an

as at the date of the report there are 5,448,821 performance rights on issue under the Performance Rights Plan.  
These include 3,033,099 performance rights granted to eligible executives in the FY20 and which remain on issue.

4.  FY20 LTI Outcomes

Performance rights granted in 2017 were tested against the ROiC performance hurdle over the period 1 July 2017 to 
30 June 2020 with a ROiC target in FY20 of 7.95%. The ROiC for FY20 was 1.67%. Therefore, the Performance Rights 
granted in 2017 will not vest.

5.  Managing Director Remuneration mix

The Managing director’s total available remuneration (“TaR”) consists of:

•  Fixed component of $800,000 inclusive of superannuation and allowances, comprising 60% of TaR;

•  STi component, comprising 15% of TaR; and

•  LTi component, comprising 25% of TaR.

7.  Response to high no vote on Remuneration Report in 2019

at the 2019 aGM, 23.89% of shareholders, either in person or by proxy, voted against the Company’s Remuneration  
Report. While the Company avoided a ‘first strike’, the size of the no vote was the cause of great concern to the Board. 
Following the aGM the Board engaged with shareholders to understand the reasons for the high no vote. The main 
feedback provided by shareholders was that more information should be disclosed about the Company’s Long  
Term incentive Program and the performance hurdles required to be met in order for performance rights to vest. 
Section 3 above sets out in detail how the Company’s LTi Program operates, including the ROiC performance hurdle.

Total remuneration for all Non‑executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2012 aGM, is not to exceed 
$600,000 per annum and directors’ fees are set based on advice from external advisors with reference to fees paid to 
Non‑executive directors of comparable companies.

directors’ base fees (inclusive of superannuation) for the year were unchanged from the previous financial year at  
$75,000 per annum for Non‑executive directors (other than the Chairman) and $140,000 for the Chairman.

Given the effect of COVid‑19 on the underlying MaxiTRaNS business, the Board and Management focused on optimising 
cash generation and conservation over the closing months of FY20. as the Board announced on 3 april 2020, the Board 
determined that for a 4 month period commencing on 1 april 2020, the Non‑executive directors would take a 20% 
reduction in directors’ fees. This resulted in total fees paid for the year of $65,069 for Non‑executive directors and 
$121,461 for the Chairman.

Non‑executive directors do not receive performance related remuneration and are not entitled to participate in the  
STi or LTi programs. directors’ fees cover all main board activities and membership or chairing of all committees.  
Non‑executive directors are not entitled to any retirement benefits.

10. Details of remuneration and service contracts

it is the Group’s policy that employment agreements for executive directors and senior executives be unlimited in term 
but capable of termination on up to six months’ notice, and that the Group retains the right to terminate the contract 
immediately, by making payment of up to six months’ pay in lieu of notice.

The Group has entered into employment agreements with each executive director and senior executive that entitle those 
executives to receive, on termination of employment, their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service 
leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

The employment contract outlines the components of remuneration paid to the executive director and senior executives 
but does not prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed each year 
and take into account cost‑of‑living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive  
and any changes required to meet the principles of the Group’s executive Remuneration Policy including performance 
related objectives if applicable.

Share Options

No options were granted to any of the directors or key 
management personnel of the Company or Group as  
part of their remuneration during or since the end of the 
financial year.

Shares Issued on the Exercise of Options

No options were exercised during the financial year.

Further details on the Group’s Performance Rights  
Plan are detailed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial 
statements and in the Remuneration Report.

Non‑Audit Services

during the year, KPMG, the Company’s auditor, 
performed certain other services in addition to their 
statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non‑audit services 
provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance 
with written advice provided by resolution of the audit 
and Risk Management Committee, is satisfied that the 
provision of those non‑audit services during the year by 
the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, 
the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non‑audit services were subject to the corporate 
governance procedures adopted by the Group and 
have been reviewed by the audit and Risk Management 
Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity 
and objectivity of the auditor; and

•  The non‑audit services provided do not undermine  

the general principles relating to auditor independence 
as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or 
auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a 
management or decision making capacity for the 
Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly 
sharing risks and rewards.

a copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as 
required under Section 307C of the Corporations act  
is included in, and forms part of this Report of the 
directors on page 33.

as at the date of this report, the Company had an  
audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of 
directors that met six times during the year. The details 
of the functions and memberships of the committees of 
the Board are presented in the Corporate 
Governance Statement.

Indemnity

With the exception of the matters noted below, 
the Company has not, during or since the end of the 
financial year, in respect of any person who is or has 
been an officer or auditor of the Company or a related 
body corporate:

(i) 

indemnified or made any relevant agreement for 
indemnifying against a liability incurred as an officer, 
including costs and expenses in successfully 
defending legal proceedings; or

(ii)  Paid or agreed to pay a premium in respect of 
a contract insuring against a liability incurred  
as an officer for the costs or expenses to defend 
legal proceedings.

The Group has entered into a contract of insurance in 
relation to the indemnity of the Group’s directors and 
officers. The insurance policy relates to claims for 
damages, judgements, settlements or costs in respect  
of wrongful acts committed by directors or officers in 
their capacity as directors or officers but excluding  
wilful, dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious acts 
or omissions by any director or officer. The directors 
indemnified are those existing at the date of this report. 
The officers indemnified include each full‑time executive 
officer and secretary.

during the financial year, the Group paid premiums  
of $94,500 (2019: $49,500) in respect of directors’ and 
officers’ liability insurance contracts.

Clause 101 of the Company’s constitution contains 
indemnities for officers of the Company. The Company 
has entered into a deed of protection with each of the 
directors to:

(i) 

(ii) 

indemnify the director to ensure that the director will 
have the benefit of the indemnities after the director 
ceases being a director of any group company;

insure the director against certain liabilities after  
the director ceases to be a director of any group 
company; and

(iii)  Provide the director with access to the books of 

group companies.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2020

1. 

 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

MaxiTRaNS industries Limited (the ‘Company’) is 
a company domiciled in australia and its registered 
office is 346 Boundary Road, derrimut, Victoria. 
The consolidated financial statements of MaxiTRaNS 
industries Limited as at and for the year ended 
30 June 2020 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries 
(together referred to as the ‘Group’) and the Group’s 
interest in joint ventures and jointly controlled entities. 
The Group is a for‑profit entity.

•  aaSB 123 Borrowing Costs. The amendments clarify 

that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any 
borrowing originally made to develop a qualifying 
asset when substantially all the activities necessary 
to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are 
complete. The amendments did not affect the Groups 
consolidated financial statements.

•  aaSB 16 Leases. Mandatory for years beginning  

on or after 1 January 2019. This standard replaces 
aaSB 117 Leases. Leases are accounted for as 
described in accounting policy (ac).

Basis of preparation

Going Concern

The financial report is a general purpose financial  
report which has been prepared in accordance with 
australian accounting Standards (‘aaSBs’) adopted  
by the australian accounting Standards Board (‘aaSB’) 
and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report  
also complies with international Financial Reporting 
Standards (‘iFRSs’) adopted by the international 
accounting Standards Board (‘iaSB’).

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals 
basis and is based on historical costs and does not take 
into account changing money values or, except where 
stated, current valuations of non‑current assets.  
Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration  
given in exchange for assets. These accounting policies 
have been consistently applied to all periods presented  
in the consolidated financial report by each entity in the 
Group and are consistent with those of the previous year. 
The financial report contains comparative information 
that has been adjusted to align with the presentation  
of the current period, where necessary.

These consolidated financial statements are presented 
in australian dollars, which is the Company’s 
functional currency.

The Group has applied the relief available to it in aSiC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/directors Reports) 
instruments 2016/191 and, accordingly, amounts in the 
financial statements and Report of the directors have 
been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless 
specifically stated to be otherwise.

The financial report was approved by the board of 
directors on 21 august 2020.

The relevant australian accounting Standards and 
interpretations that became effective and that were  
early adopted by the Group since 30 June 2019 were:

•  aaSB 112 Income Taxes. The amendments clarify  
that the income tax consequences of dividends  
are linked more directly to past transactions or  
events that generated distributable profits than  
to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity 
recognises the income tax consequences of where  
the entity originally recognised those past 
transactions or events. The amendment did not  
affect the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes  
that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and  
when they become due and payable.

For the year ended 30 June 2020:

•  The Group recorded a net loss after tax of 

$35,492 thousand including an impairment 
of $44,476 thousand (30 June 2019: loss of 
$27,040 thousand including an impairment 
of $36,218 thousand).

•  The Group had a net debt balance of $12,124 thousand 

(30 June 2019: $32,000 thousand).

•  Working capital, being current assets less current 

liabilities, amounted to a surplus of $49,015 thousand 
(30 June 2019: $58,354 thousand).

•  Net cash inflows from operating activities were 

$31,387 thousand (30 June 2019: $6,098 thousand 
outflow).

•  To enable the Group and the debt holders to work 

through a debt restructure, the Company and the debt 
holders had agreed covenants up to 31 March 2020. 
The group was in breach of certain debt covenants 
at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2020. The debt 
holders provided waivers to both of these covenant 
breaches. There were no covenant requirements  
at 30 June 2020.

On 30 June 2020, the debt holders agreed to 
amendments to the Syndicated Facility agreement 
(“SFa”), including:

•  New simplified debt covenants based on the  
Group’s forecast profitability and liquidity up  
to 30 June 2021; and

•  The extension of the working capital facility  

(Facility C) to 31 July 2021.

if the Group does not meet its obligations under this 
amendment, this would constitute an event of default 
under the SFa. as is consistent with prior arrangements 
with the debt holders, an event of default would result  
in the loan facility falling due and payable on demand 
($37,500 thousand drawn at 30 June 2020).

The ongoing COVid‑19 pandemic has increased the 
estimation uncertainty in the preparation of budgets, 
generally, due to the impact of the following factors:

•  the extent and duration of actions by governments, 
businesses and consumers to contain the spread 
of the virus;

•  the extent and duration of the expected economic 
downturn. This includes the disruption to capital 
markets, deteriorating credit, higher unemployment, 
and changes in consumer discretionary spending 
behaviours; and

•  the effectiveness of government measures that  

have and will be put in place to support businesses 
and consumers through this disruption and 
economic downturn.

Management is targeting various initiatives to improve 
both the underlying business results and cash flows. 
This includes, but is not limited to the sale of assets, 
alternative financing arrangements and working 
capital improvements.

While the directors are cautious in the current COVid‑19 
environment, recent quotation levels have been higher 
than the last 12 months, when combined with a sustained 
conversion rate this has resulted in an improved 
order‑book position heading into FY21.

added to this, recent rains support what is likely to 
be one of the better South east australian grain crops 
in recent years with an associated increase in the 
MaxiTRaNS bulk tipper segment.

The directors believe that the Group has the support of 
its debt holders and it will continue to meet the ongoing 
compliance requirements of the SFa (as disclosed in 
Note 24) and its amendments. The directors anticipate 
that the initiatives outlined above combined with the net 
debt position at 30 June 2020, will be appropriate to 
address the underlying business results and cash flow 
requirements, which will ensure that the Group will 
comply with its revised covenants.

The directors acknowledge that uncertainty remains 
over the Group’s ability to meet its funding requirements 
and to refinance or repay its banking facilities if they fall 
due. if for any reason the Group is unable to continue as 
a going concern, then this could have an impact on the 
Group’s ability to realise assets at their recognised 
values, in particular goodwill and other intangible assets, 
and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of 
business at the amounts stated in the consolidated 
financial statements.

Accounting policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting 
policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the 
financial report.

(a)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial report comprises the 
financial statements of MaxiTRaNS industries 
Limited and all its subsidiaries. a subsidiary is any 
entity controlled by MaxiTRaNS industries Limited 
or any of its subsidiaries. Control exists where 
MaxiTRaNS industries Limited is exposed to, or  
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the entity. a list of 
subsidiaries is contained in Note 18 to the 
financial statements.

all inter‑company balances and transactions 
between entities in the Group, including any 
unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated 
on consolidation.

Business combinations are accounted for using  
the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, 
which is the date on which control is transferred  
to the Group.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those 
associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, 
that the Group incurs in connection with a business 
combination are expensed as incurred.

any contingent consideration payable is recognised 
at fair value at the acquisition date. if the contingent 
consideration is classified as equity, it is not 
remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within 
equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair 
value of the contingent consideration are recognised 
in profit or loss.

Where subsidiaries have entered or left the Group 
during the year, their operating results have been 
included from the date control was obtained or until 
the date control ceased. The accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to 
align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

NCi are measured at their proportionate share of 
the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date 
of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in 
a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control 
are accounted for as equity transactions.

The Group’s interests in equity‑accounted investees 
comprise interests in associates. associates are 
those entities in which the Group has significant 
influence, but not control or joint control, over the 
financial and operating policies.

interests in associates are accounted for using 
the equity method. They are initially recognised at 
cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, the consolidated financial 
statements include the Group’s share of profit or 
loss and OCi of equity‑accounted investees and 
reduced by dividends received, until the date on 
which significant influence ceases.

ANNUAL REPORT 202042

MaxiTRaNS iNduSTRieS

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its 
interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying  
amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further 
losses is discontinued except to the extent that the 
Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations 
or made payments on behalf of an associate.

unrealised gains arising from transactions with 
associates are eliminated to the extent of the 
Group’s interest in the associate.

(b)  Foreign currency

(i)  Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are 
translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at 
the reporting date are translated into australian 
dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at 
that date. Foreign exchange differences arising 
on translation are recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss. Non‑monetary 
assets and liabilities that are measured in  
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency  
are translated using the exchange rate at the 
date of the transaction. Non‑monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
that are stated at fair value are translated into 
australian dollars at foreign exchange rates 
ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

(ii)  Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, 
including goodwill and fair value adjustments 
arising on consolidation, are translated into 
australian dollars at foreign exchange rates 
ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and 
expenses of foreign operations are translated 
into australian dollars at rates approximating 
the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of 
the transactions. Foreign exchange differences 
arising on translation are recognised directly in 
a separate component of equity.

(c)  Inventories

inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Costs are assigned on a weighted 
average basis and include direct materials, direct 
labour and an appropriate proportion of variable  
and fixed factory overheads, based on the normal 
operating capacity of the production facilities.  
Net realisable value is determined on the basis  
of each inventory line’s normal selling price.

(d)  Property, plant and equipment

(i)  Owned assets Land and buildings

Property whose fair value can be measured 
reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being  
its fair value at the date of the revaluation less 
any subsequent accumulated depreciation and 
subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 
Fair value of land and buildings is assessed  
at each reporting period.

independent valuations were obtained during 
the financial year ending 30 June 2020 in relation 
to all land and buildings.

These were considered by the directors in 
establishing revaluation amounts.

if an asset’s carrying amount is increased as 
a result of a revaluation, the increase is credited 
directly to equity under the heading of asset 
Revaluation Reserve. However, the increase is 
recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it 
reverses a revaluation decrease of the same 
asset previously recognised in profit or loss. 
if an asset’s carrying amount is decreased  
as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is 
recognised in profit or loss. However, the 
decrease is debited directly to equity under the 
heading of asset Revaluation Reserve to the 
extent of any credit balance existing in the 
revaluation reserve in respect of that asset. 
Changes to an asset’s carrying amount are 
brought to account. On realisation of any 
amounts contained in the asset Realisation 
Reserve, the balance is transferred to 
retained earnings.

Plant and equipment

items of plant and equipment are stated at cost 
or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation 
and impairment losses (see accounting policy 
(i)). The cost of self‑constructed assets includes 
the cost of materials, direct labour, and an 
appropriate proportion of production overheads. 
The cost of self‑constructed assets and acquired 
assets includes (i) the initial estimate, at the 
time of installation and during the period of use, 
when relevant, of the costs of dismantling and 
removing the items and restoring the site on 
which they are located, and (ii) changes in the 
measurement of existing liabilities recognised 
for these costs resulting from changes in the 
timing or outflow of resources required to settle 
the obligation or from changes in the 
discount rate.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and 
equipment have different useful lives, they are 
accounted for as separate items of property, 
plant and equipment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

43

(ii)  Leased assets

(ii)  Research and development

Leases for which the Group assumes 
substantially all of the risks and rewards of 
ownership are classified as finance leases. 
The plant and equipment acquired by way of 
a finance lease is stated at an amount equal to 
the lower of its fair value and the present value 
of the minimum lease payments at inception  
of the lease, less accumulated depreciation.

Lease payments are accounted for as described 
in accounting policy (ac).

(iii)  Depreciation

depreciation is charged to the consolidated 
profit and loss on a straight‑line basis over the 
estimated useful lives of each part of an item of 
property, plant and equipment when it’s ready 
for use. Land is not depreciated. The estimated 
useful lives are reflected in the following rates  
in the current and comparative periods:

2020

2019

expenditure on research activities, undertaken 
with the prospect of gaining new scientific  
or technical knowledge and understanding,  
is recognised in the profit and loss as an 
expense as incurred.

expenditure on development activities,  
whereby research findings are applied to  
a plan or design for the production of new or 
substantially improved products and processes, 
is capitalised if the product or process is 
technically and commercially feasible and the 
Group has sufficient resources to complete 
the development.

The expenditure capitalised includes the cost  
of materials, direct labour and an appropriate 
proportion of overheads. Other development 
expenditure is recognised in the profit and  
loss as an expense as incurred. Capitalised 
development expenditure is stated at cost less 
accumulated amortisation (see below) and 
impairment losses (see accounting policy (i)).

and equipment 3.33‑10 years 3.33‑10 years

The residual value, the useful life and the 
depreciation method applied to an asset are 
reassessed at least annually.

(e)  Intangibles

(i)  Goodwill

all business combinations are accounted  
for by applying the acquisition method.  
Goodwill represents the difference between  
the consideration transferred for the acquisition 
and the net recognised amount (generally fair 
value of the identifiable assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed), all measured as of 
acquisition date.

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated 
impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to 
cash‑ generating units and is tested annually 
for impairment (see accounting policy (i)). 
in respect of joint ventures, the carrying amount 
of goodwill is included in the carrying amount 
of the investment in the joint venture.

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition  
is recognised directly in profit or loss.

Brand names acquired by the Group have 
indefinite useful lives and are measured at cost 
less accumulated impairment. They are tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently 
if events or circumstances indicate that they 
might be impaired.

(iv)  Intellectual Property

intellectual property acquired by the Group  
with definite useful lives are measured at cost 
less accumulated impairment. They are tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently 
if events or circumstances indicate that they 
might be impaired.

(v)  Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by  
the Group are stated at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses.

(vi)  Amortisation

amortisation of intangibles other than goodwill 
and indefinite life intangibles is charged to the 
profit and loss on a straight‑line basis over 
the estimated useful lives of intangible assets 
unless such lives are indefinite. Goodwill and 
intangible assets with an indefinite useful  
life are tested for impairment at least at each 
annual reporting date. Other intangible assets 
are amortised from the date that they are 
available for use.

amortisation methods, useful lives and residual 
values are reviewed at each financial year end  
and adjusted if appropriate.

(f)  Non‑current assets held for sale

Non‑current assets that are highly probable to  
be recovered primarily through sale or distribution 
rather than through continuing use, are classified  
as held for sale. immediately before classification, 
the assets are remeasured in accordance with the 
Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally 
the assets are measured at the lower of their 
carrying amount and fair value less costs to 
sell. impairment losses on initial classification 
as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses 
on remeasurement are recognised in profit or  
loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any 
cumulative impairment loss.

(g)  Trade and other receivables

The Group measures trade and other receivables  
are stated at their amortised cost less impairment 
losses (see accounting policy (i)) if both of the 
following conditions are met:

•  The financial asset is held within a business 

model with the objective to hold financial assets 
in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

(h)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances 
and call deposits with an original maturity of three 
months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable 
on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s 
cash management are included as a component of 
cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the 
statement of cash flows.

(i) 

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, other 
than inventories (see accounting policy (c)) and 
deferred tax assets (see accounting policy (p)), 
are reviewed at each reporting date to determine 
whether there is any indication of impairment.  

an impairment loss is recognised whenever the 
carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating 
unit exceeds its recoverable amount. impairment 
losses are recognised in the profit and loss unless 
the asset has previously been revalued, in which 
case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal 
to the extent of that previous revaluation with any 
excess recognised through the profit and loss.

impairment losses recognised in respect of 
cash‑generating units are allocated first to reduce 
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to  
the cash‑generating unit (group of units) and then, 
to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets 
in the unit (group of units) on a pro‑rata basis.

For trade and other receivables, the Group applies 
a simplified approach in calculating expected credit 
losses. Therefore, the Group does not track changes 
in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance 
at each reporting date, based on known issues on 
collectability of outstanding debt.

(j)  Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the Group’s receivables 
carried at amortised cost is calculated as the 
present value of estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest  
rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed  
at initial recognition of these financial assets). 
Receivables with a short duration (less than 
12 months) are not discounted.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the 
greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value 
in use. in assessing value in use, the estimated 
future cash flows are discounted to their present 
value using a post‑tax nominal discount rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 
For an asset that does not generate largely 
independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount  
is determined for the cash‑generating unit to which 
the asset belongs.

(k)  Reversals of impairment

an impairment loss in respect of receivables  
carried at amortised cost is reversed if the 
subsequent increase in recoverable amount can  
be related objectively to an event occurring after  
the impairment loss was recognised.

an impairment loss in respect of goodwill is 
not reversed.

in respect of other assets, an impairment loss is 
reversed if there has been a change in the estimates 
used to determine the recoverable amount.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

45

an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent 
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the 
carrying amount that would have been determined, 
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment 
loss had been recognised.

(l) 

Interest‑bearing borrowings

interest‑bearing borrowings are recognised initially 
at fair value less attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, interest‑bearing 
borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any 
difference between cost and redemption value being 
recognised in the profit or loss over the period of  
the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(iv)  Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave  

and non‑monetary benefits

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, 
salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent 
present obligations resulting from employees’ 
services provided to reporting date, calculated 
at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration 
wage and salary rates that the Group expects  
to pay as at reporting date including related 
on‑costs, such as workers compensation 
insurance and payroll tax. Non‑accumulating 
non‑monetary benefits, such as medical care, 
housing, cars and free or subsidised goods  
and services, are expensed based on the net 
marginal cost to the Group as the benefits  
are taken by the employees.

(m)  Employee benefits

(i)  Defined contribution superannuation funds

(n)  Provisions

Obligations for contributions to defined 
contribution superannuation funds are 
recognised as an expense in the profit  
or loss as incurred.

(ii)  Long‑term service benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of 
long‑term service benefits, other than pension 
plans, is the amount of future benefit that 
employees have earned in return for their 
service in the current and prior periods.  
The obligation is calculated using expected 
future increases in wage and salary rates 
including related on‑costs and expected 
settlement dates and is discounted using  
the rates attached to corporate bonds at  
the reporting date which have maturity  
dates approximating the terms of the 
Group’s obligations.

(iii)  Share based payments transactions

MaxiTRaNS industries Limited grants 
performance rights from time to time to certain 
employees under the Performance Rights Plan.

The fair value of performance rights granted 
is recognised as an employee expense with 
a corresponding increase in equity recorded 
over the vesting period.

The fair value of the performance rights is 
calculated at the date of grant using a Monte 
Carlo simulation model and allocated to each 
reporting period over the period from grant 
date to vesting date. The value disclosed is 
the portion of the fair value of the performance 
rights allocated to this reporting period.

a provision is recognised in the consolidated 
statement of financial position when the Group has 
a present legal or constructive obligation as a result 
of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of 
economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation. if the effect is material, provisions are 
determined by discounting the expected future cash 
flows at a pre‑tax rate that reflects current market 
assessments of the time value of money and,  
when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(o)  Warranties

a provision for warranties is recognised when 
the underlying products or services are sold. 
The provision is based on historical warranty 
data and known warranty claims.

(p)  Income tax

income tax expense comprises current and  
deferred tax. income tax is recognised in the  
profit or loss except to the extent that it relates  
to items recognised directly in equity, in which  
case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the 
taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted 
or substantially enacted at the reporting date,  
and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of 
previous years.

in determining the amount of current and deferred 
tax, the Group takes into account the impact of 
uncertain tax positions. The Group believes that its 
accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open 
tax years. This assessment relies on estimates and 
assumptions and may involve judgements about 
future events.

ANNUAL REPORT 202046

MaxiTRaNS iNduSTRieS

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet 
liability method, providing for temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the 
amounts used for taxation purposes. The following 
temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill, 
the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that 
affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and 
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries 
to the extent that they will probably not reverse in 
the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred 
tax provided is based on the expected manner of 
realisation or settlement of the carrying amount 
of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted 
or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

a deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which the asset can be utilised.

deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that  
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit 
will be realised.

additional income taxes that arise from the 
distribution of dividends are recognised at the same 
time as the liability to pay the related dividend.

(q)  Tax consolidation

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

due to the existence of a tax contribution agreement 
between the entities in the tax consolidated group, 
the parent entity recognises the tax effects of its own 
transactions and the current tax liabilities and the 
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses 
and unused tax credits assumed from the 
subsidiary entities.

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

in accordance with the tax contribution agreement, 
the subsidiary entities are compensated/charged  
for the assets and liabilities assumed by the parent 
entity as intercompany receivables and payables  
and for amounts which equal the amounts initially 
recognised by the subsidiary entities.

(r)  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“ePS”) is calculated by 
dividing the net profit attributable to members of 
the parent entity for the reporting period, by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares of 
the Company.

diluted ePS is calculated by dividing the basic 
earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing 
costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary 
shares and the effect on revenues and expenses  
of conversion to ordinary shares associated with 
dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares and dilutive 
potential ordinary shares.

(s)  Revenue

(i)  Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised 
at a point in time upon satisfaction of the 
performance obligation by transferring  
control of the promised good to the customer.

(ii)  Revenue from the rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is 
recognised at a point in time as the services 
are completed.

(iii)  Other income

interest income is recognised in the profit 
and loss as it accrues, using the effective 
interest method.

(iv)  Dividend income

dividend revenue is recognised when the right 
to receive a dividend has been established.

(t)  Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised  
net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), 
except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the australian Tax Office (aTO).  
in these circumstances the GST is recognised  
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset  
or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the  
amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or  
payable to, the aTO is included as a current asset  
or liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statements of cash 
flows on a gross basis. The GST components of  
cash flows arising from investing and financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable  
to, the aTO are classified as operating cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

(u)  Trade and other payables

(x)  Accounting estimates and judgements

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be  
paid in the future for goods or services received. 
Trade accounts payable are normally settled 
within 60 days.

(v)  Expenses

(i)  Finance costs

Finance costs comprise interest payable  
on borrowings calculated using the effective 
interest method, foreign exchange losses, 
and losses on hedging instruments that are 
recognised in the profit and loss. Borrowing 
costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of 
a qualifying asset are capitalised as part  
of the cost of the asset. all other borrowing 
costs are recognised in the profit and loss  
using the effective interest method.

(w)  Derivative financial instruments

The Group from time to time uses derivative financial 
instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange 
and interest rate risks arising from operational, 
financing and investment activities. The Group does 
not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for 
trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not 
qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as 
trading instruments.

derivatives are initially recognised at fair value. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial 
instruments are stated at fair value, and changes 
therein are recognised in profit or loss. However, 
where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, 
recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends 
on the nature of the item being hedged.

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow 
hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes 
in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in 
OCi and accumulated in the hedging reserve. 
any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value 
of the derivative is recognised in the profit or loss.

The amount accumulated in equity is retained in 
OCi and reclassified to profit or loss in the same 
period or periods during which the hedged item 
affects profit or loss.

if the hedging instrument no longer meets the 
criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, 
terminated or exercised, or the designation is 
revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued 
prospectively. if the forecast transaction is no longer 
expected to occur, then the amount accumulated  
in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

Management discussed with the Board audit and 
Risk Management Committee the development, 
selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical 
accounting policies and estimates and the 
application of these policies and estimates. 
The estimates and judgements that have a  
significant risk of causing a material adjustment  
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) 

Impairment of goodwill and intangibles

The Group assesses whether goodwill and 
intangibles with indefinite useful lives are 
impaired at least annually in accordance 
with accounting policy (i).

These calculations involve an estimation of 
the recoverable amount of the cash‑generating 
units to which the goodwill and intangibles with 
indefinite useful lives are allocated.

COVID‑19

The ongoing COVid‑19 pandemic has increased 
the uncertainty of estimation in the preparation 
of budgets and therefore over the estimation 
of the recoverable amount. The Group has 
prepared the budget to represent its best 
understanding of COVid‑19 market and 
industry factors.

The budget has assumed the continuation  
of the JobKeeper payments through to 
30 September 2020, the continuation of the 
instant asset write‑off program through  
to 31 december 2020, and that operations 
remain largely unaffected by restrictions  
with both the Trailer Solutions and Parts 
businesses continuing to be classified as  
an essential service.

(ii)  Provisions

The calculation of the provisions for warranty 
claims and impairment provisions for inventory 
and receivables involves estimation and 
judgement surrounding future claims and 
potential losses and exposures based primarily 
on past experience, the likelihood of claims or 
losses and exposures arising in the future as 
well as management knowledge and experience 
together with a detailed examination of financial 
and non‑financial information and trends. 
Refer accounting policy (n) for details of the 
recognition and measurement criteria applied.

COVID‑19

(z)  Segment reporting

The Group has assessed the estimation and 
judgements in light of the current COVid‑19 
pandemic. To date the Group has not seen an 
impact on the estimation and judgements for 
warranty claims, provisions for inventory 
and receivables.

(y)  Financial risk management

(i)  Overview

The Group has exposure to credit, market 
and liquidity risks associated with the use 
of financial instruments.

The Board has delegated to the audit and Risk 
Management Committee responsibility for the 
establishment of policies on risk oversight 
and management.

Risk management policies are established to 
identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, 
to set appropriate risk controls, and to monitor 
risks and adherence to limits.

The Group does not enter into or trade financial 
instruments, including derivative financial 
instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to  
the financial risks associated with changes in 
foreign currency exchange rates and interest 
rates. The carrying value of financial assets 
and financial liabilities recognised in the 
accounts approximate their fair value with  
the exception of borrowings which are  
recorded at amortised cost.

There have not been any changes to the 
objectives, policies and procedures for 
managing risk during the current year  
or in the prior year.

(ii)  Capital management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong  
capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor 
and market confidence and to sustain future 
development of the business.

The Board monitors the earnings per share  
and the levels of dividends to ordinary 
shareholders together with the net debt/equity 
ratio, which at 30 June 2020 was 17% (2019: 
28%). The dividend Reinvestment Plan was 
suspended on 21 June 2011. The Board seeks  
to maintain a balance between higher returns 
that might be possible with higher levels of 
borrowings and the advantages afforded by 
a sound capital position.

Operating segments are identified, and segment 
information disclosed on the basis of internal reports 
that are regularly provided to or reviewed by the 
Group’s chief operating decision maker which, for the 
Group, is the Managing director. in this regard, such 
information is provided using different measures to 
those used in preparing the consolidated statement 
of profit or loss and consolidated balance sheet.

Reconciliations of such management information to 
the statutory information contained in the financial 
report have been included.

(aa) Determination of fair values

a number of the Group’s accounting policies and 
disclosures require the determination of fair value, 
for both financial and non‑financial assets and 
liabilities. Fair values have been determined for 
measurement and/or disclosure purposes based 
on the following methods. When applicable,  
further information about the assumptions made  
in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes 
specific to that asset or liability.

(i)  Land and buildings

The fair value of property is based on market 
values. The market value of property is the 
estimated amount for which a property could  
be exchanged on the date of valuation between 
a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller 
in an arm’s length transaction after 
proper marketing.

(ii)  Derivatives

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is 
based on their listed market price, if available. 
if a listed market price is not available, then fair 
value is estimated by discounting the difference 
between the contractual forward price and the 
current forward price for the residual maturity 
of the contract.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based 
on independent valuations.

Fair values reflect the credit risk of the 
instrument and include adjustments to take 
account of the credit risk of the Group entity 
and counterparty when appropriate.

 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

49

(iii)  Non‑derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure 
purposes, is calculated based on the present 
value of future principal and interest cash flows, 
discounted at the market rate of interest at the 
reporting date. For finance leases the market 
rate of interest is determined by reference to 
similar lease agreements

(ab) Government grants

From time to time the Group becomes eligible for 
government grants. These grants, which are related 
to assets are accounted for in accordance with 
aaSB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and 
Disclosure of Government Assistance. The Group has 
elected to recognise government grants by reducing 
the carrying amount of the asset.

amounts received under Government COVid‑19‑
related stimulus schemes are recognised as other 
income when confirmation that the payments will  
be made is received and the Group has satisfied its 
obligations under the respective scheme. all such 
amounts are recorded in the consolidated statement 
of profit or loss on a gross basis.

(ac) Leases

aaSB 16 introduces a single, on‑balance sheet lease 
accounting model for lessees. a lessee recognises 
a right‑of‑use asset representing its right to use the 
underlying asset and a lease liability representing 
its obligation to make lease payments. There are 
recognition exemptions for short‑term leases and 
leases of low‑value items. Lessor accounting 
remains similar to aaSB 117 – i.e. lessors continue 
to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

The Group has adopted aaSB 16 using the modified 
retrospective effect method, with the effect of 
initially applying this standard recognised at the date 
of initial application (i.e. 1 July 2019). Therefore, the 
cumulative effect of adopting aaSB 16 was recognised 
as an adjustment to the opening balance assets and 
liabilities at 1 July 2019, with no restatement of 
comparative information.

The Group recognises a right‑of‑use asset and 
a lease liability at the lease commencement date. 
The right‑of‑use asset is initially measured at cost, 
and subsequently at cost less any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses,and adjusted 
from certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present 
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest 
rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be 
readily determined, the Group’s incremental 
borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its 
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the 
interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by 
lease payments made. it is remeasured when there 
is a change in future lease payments arising from 
a change in index or rate, a change in the estimate of 
the amount expected to be payable under a residual 
value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the 
assessment of whether a purchase or extension 
option is reasonably certain to be exercised or 
a termination option is reasonably certain not  
to be exercised.

The Group has applied judgement to determine the 
lease term for some lease contracts in which it is 
a lessee that include renewal options. The Group 
is reasonably certain to exercise renewal options 
included in land and buildings leases, which 
significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities 
and right‑of use assets recognised at the date of 
initial application.

(i)  Leases in which the Group is the lessee

Previously, the Group recognised operating 
lease expense on a straight‑line basis over the 
term of the lease, and recognised assets and 
liabilities only to the extent that there was 
a timing difference between actual lease 
payments and the expense.

The Group recognised new assets and liabilities 
for its operating leases of rental properties, 
motor vehicle fleet and other equipment lease 
agreements. The nature of expenses related  
to those leases has now changed because the 
Group recognised a depreciation charge for  
the right‑of‑use assets and interest expense  
on lease liabilities. in additional, the Group will 
no longer recognise provisions for operating 
leases that it assesses to be onerous. instead, 
the Group includes the payments due under  
the lease in its lease liability.

There was no significant impact on the Group’s 
finance leases. Minimum lease payments are 
apportioned between the finance charge and the 
reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance 
charge is allocated to each period during the 
lease term so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the liability.

(ii)  Leases in which the Group is the lessor

The Group is not required to make any 
adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor.

(iii)  Impact on transition

On transition to aaSB16, the Group recognised 
additional right‑of‑use‑assets and additional 
lease liabilities, recognising the difference in 
retained earnings. The impact of the transition

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that 
were classified as operating leases, the Group 
discounted lease payments using its incremental 
borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted 
average rate applied is 5.3%, with rates ranging 
from 3.68% to 5.72% based on tenure of lease  
as at adoption date.

Impairment tests for Goodwill and Other Intangibles

as disclosed in the annual Report 2019 and half‑year ended 31 december 2019 accounts, impairment would result from 
any adverse movement in discount rate or a decline in the underlying business performance (eBiTda) potentially driven 
by a variety of factors including a softening of the end market for Trailer Solutions. FY20 has seen a decline in the end 
market for Trailer Solutions and has resulted in an impairment of $44,476 thousand for the year.

The carrying amount of the Trailer Solutions CGu was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and 
an impairment loss of $40,747 thousand was recognised. Furthermore, the carrying amount of the group of CGus 
was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and an additional impairment loss of $3,730 thousand 
was recognised.

The impairment loss was allocated as follows:

Impairment Loss ($’000)

Goodwill

The recoverable amount was based on value in use. Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows 
expected to be generated from the continuing use of the assets. Value in use as at 30 June 2020 was determined similarly 
to the 30 June 2019 goodwill impairment test and was based on the following key assumptions:

•  Most recent forecast projections by key management for FY21 and subsequently reviewed by the Board;

•  Growth rates for year 2‑5 of 3.5%, 2.5%, 2.1% and 2.1% (annually) (30 June 2019: 2.1%);

•  Terminal growth rate of 2.0% (30 June 2019: 2.0%); and

•  Pre‑tax nominal discount rate of 12.3% (30 June 2019: 12.0%).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent the Group’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are 
based on historical data from both external sources and internal sources.

Following the impairment loss in the Trailer Solutions CGu, the recoverable amount is equal to the carrying amount. 
an additional impairment would result from any adverse movement in discount rate or a decline in underlying business 
performance (eBiTda) potentially driven by a variety of factors including a softening of the end market.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

it is the Group’s policy that inter–segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and 
liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 
unallocated items mainly comprise interest–bearing loans, borrowings and corporate assets and expenses. Total finance 
costs of the Group are included in unallocated corporate costs.

The MaxiTrans Group reports on two Cash Generating units (CGu’s): Trailer Solutions and Parts. The Trailer Solutions 
business manufactures a diverse portfolio of trailers. The trailers are sold through our dealer network, comprising  
both owned dealerships and licensed dealerships, providing full solution including after sales service and parts to our 
customers. The Parts business sells trailer and truck parts at both a wholesale and retail level in australia.

Geographical segments

The Group’s external revenues are predominantly derived from customers located within australia. The customer  
base is sufficiently diverse to ensure the Group is not reliant on any particular customer. The Group’s assets and capital 
expenditure activities are predominantly located within australia.

The fair value of PRs is calculated at the date of grant by an independent external valuer, Grant Thornton, using the  
Monte Carlo simulation model and allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting 
date. expected volatility is estimated by considering historic average share price volatility.

PRs are granted under a service condition and, for grants to key management personnel, non–market performance 
conditions. Non–market performance conditions are not taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement  
of the services received.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the PRs on issue are as follows:

Fair value at grant date

Share price at grant date

expected volatility

expected dividend yield

Risk–free rate of return

Expense/(income) recognised in profit and loss

Share based payments expense recognised

Share based payments reversed

Total share based payment expense/(income) recognised as employee costs

at any given point in time the Group may be engaged in defending legal actions brought against it. in the opinion of the 
directors such actions are not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s financial position.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a)  Risk management framework/policies

The Group’s key activities include the design, manufacture, sale, service and repair of transport equipment and related 
component and spare parts. These activities expose the Group to a variety of financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit 
risk and market risk such as currency and interest rate risk.

The Group’s financial risk management program seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects of the unpredictability 
of financial markets on the financial performance of the Group by utilising derivative financial instruments for purchase 
of supplies and raw materials. The Group measures risk exposure through sensitivity analysis in the case of currency risk, 
cash flow forecasting and ageing analysis for credit risk.

(b)  Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed  
by the use of fixed interest rate contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and 
defined risk appetite, ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the statement of financial 
performance or protecting interest rate expense through different interest rate cycles.

as at reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest‑bearing financial instruments were:

Borrowings – fixed rate

Borrowings – floating rate

(c)  Currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in foreign currency, primarily  
united States dollars. derivative financial instruments (forward exchange contracts) are used by the Group to 
economically hedge exposure to exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency transactions.

Forward exchange contracts

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to  
the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily from trade and other receivables  
and financing activities, including deposits with financial institutions. The carrying amount of these financial assets 
at year‑end represented the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Group has a policy of only dealing with 
credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of 
financial losses from defaults. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counter party. 
The majority of accounts receivable are due from entities within the transport industry.

Guarantees

Performance guarantees of $3,629,950 (2019: $2,625,945) are held by Commonwealth Bank of australia.

(e)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s 
liquidity management policies include Board approval of all changes to debt facilities including the terms of fixed rate 
debt as well as robust management practices in short and long term cashflow management.

The Group has focused on reducing debt over the last financial year, which has seen a reduction in net debt (total 
borrowings less cash on hand) of $19,876k to a net debt position of $12,124k (2019: $32,000k). The net debt reduction 
has resulted from a combination of cost saving initiatives, working capital improvements and constrained CaPex 
capital expenditure.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Core australian and New Zealand loan facilities of $53.75m mature as follows, subject to continuing compliance with the 
terms of the facilities:

•  $30.00m in July 2021;

•  $13.75m in June 2022; and

•  $10.00m in July 2021.

interest rates are a combination of fixed and variable.

as referenced in the Going Concern disclosure, the group was in breach of certain debt covenants at 30 September 2019 
and 31 March 2020. The debt holders have provided waivers to both of these covenant breaches. at 30 June 2020 there 
was no covenants in place under the Syndicated Facilities (SFa) agreement with the Groups Lenders. as at 30 June 2020 
an amendment to the SFa has been agreed to between the Group and lenders with covenant targets for the next 12 months; 
the Groups forecast indicates that the Group will comply with all covenants in the next 12 months.

(e)  Fair value

Determination of fair value

Net fair value has been determined in respect of financial assets and financial liabilities, with reference to the carrying 
amount of such assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with the accounting 
policies disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

The carrying amount approximates estimated net fair value for the Group’s financial assets and liabilities.

Classification of fair value

Fair Value Measurement requires that financial and non‑financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value 
(being forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and land and buildings) be disclosed according to their position 
in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at 30 June 2020.

•  Level 1 is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical items;

•  Level 2 is based on quoted prices or other observable market data not included in level 1; and

•  Level 3 valuations are based on inputs other than observable market data.

Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 and their fair value is determined by 
reference to observable inputs from active markets or prices from markets not considered active. They are priced 
with reference to an active yield or rate, but with an adjustment applied to reflect the timing of maturity dates.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps at balance date is as follows:

derivative assets

derivative liabilities

Consolidated

2020 
$’000

–

731

2019 
$’000

349

–

Land and buildings are classified as Level 3 and their fair value reflects the use of directly unobservable market inputs 
in their valuation, including assumptions about rents, yields and discount rates obtained from analysed transactions.

Valuations and assessments against current market prices have been performed at 30 June 2020 by external, independent 
property valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and 
category of the property being valued. The valuation technique is based on the highest and best use to market participants. 
The independent valuations contained market uncertainty clauses given the impacts of COVid‑19. The valuations can be 
relied upon at 30 June 2020, however a higher level of valuation uncertainty than normal is assumed.

27. RESTATEMENT

during the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, the Group discovered in the impairment testing 
at 30 June 2019 of the Trailer Solutions CGu, the carrying amount of the CGu did not include all the assets related to the 
Trailer Solutions CGu. as a consequence, the impairment loss was understated and intangible assets were overstated. 
This impact has been adjusted by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior period. 
The following tables summarises the impacts on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2019.

28. STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT 

29. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

There have been no events subsequent to the reporting 
date which would have a material effect on the Group’s 
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

YET EFFECTIVE

a number of new standards are effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning after 1 July 2020 and earlier 
application is permitted; the Group has early adopted  
the following new or amended standards in preparing 
these consolidated financial statements.

(a)  Amendments to AASB 16 Leases

The iaSB issued COVid‑19 Related Rent Concessions, 
which amended aaSB 16 Leases. The amendment 
permits lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess 
whether particular rent concessions occurring as 
a direct consequence of the COVid‑19 pandemic are 
lease modifications and instead to account for those  
rent concessions as if they are not lease modifications.

The Group has elected to early adopt the amendment and 
the financial statement impact is disclosed in note 22.

The following amended standards and interpretations 
have not been early adopted by the Group are not 
expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements.

(b)  Amendments to References to Conceptual 

Framework in AASB Standards.

The iaSB issued amendments to reference the revised 
conceptual framework published in March 2018.

(c)  Definition of a business (Amendments AASB 3)

The amendments are changes to appendix a Defined 
terms, the application guidance, and the illustrative 
examples of aaSB 3 only.

(d)  Definition of Material (Amendments AASB 101 

and AASB 108)

The amendments clarify the definition of ‘material’ and 
align with definition used in the Conceptual Framework 
and the standards.

(e)  AASB 17 Insurance Contracts

aaSB 17 requires insurance liabilities to be measured  
at a current fulfilment value and provides a more  
uniform measurement and presentation approach for all 
insurance contracts. These requirements are designed 
to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle‑based 
accounting for insurance contracts. aaSB 17 supersedes 
aaSB 4 Insurance Contracts as of 1 January 2021.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the shareholders of MaxiTRANS Industries Limited 

Report on the audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the Financial Report of 
MaxiTRANS Industries Limited (the 
Company). 

In our opinion, the accompanying 
Financial Report of the Company is in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

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

The Financial Report comprises:  

• Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2020 

• Consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income, Consolidated 
statement of changes in equity, and Consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year then ended 

• Notes including a summary of significant accounting 
policies

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report. 

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for

Independent Auditor’s Report (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 1, “Going Concern” in the Financial Report. The conditions disclosed in Note 1, 
indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal 
course of business, and at the amounts stated in the Financial Report.  Our opinion is not modified in 
respect of this matter. 

In concluding there is a material uncertainty related to going concern we evaluated the extent of 
uncertainty regarding events or conditions casting significant doubt in the Group’s assessment of going 
concern, particularly those related to potential impacts and changes in management's plans from COVID-
19.  Our approach to this involved:  

  Assessing the Group’s cash flow forecasts for incorporation of the Group’s operations and plans to 
address going concern, in particular in light of the recent history of loss making operations and the 
potential further impacts resulting from business interruption from COVID-19; 

  Evaluating the feasibility, quantum and timing of the Group’s plans to manage liquidity and business 

performance, to address going concern; 

  Determining the completeness of the Group’s going concern disclosures for the principle matters 

casting significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Group’s plans to 
address these matters, and the material uncertainty. 

Restatement of comparative balances – Emphasis of mater 

We draw attention to Note 27, “Restatement” in the Financial Report, which describes that the 
comparative information presented as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019 has been restated for the 
correction of an error. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the Financial Report of the current period. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have 
determined the matter described below to be the Key Audit Matter. 

Impairment of goodwill and non-financial assets ($44.5m) 

Refer to Note 7 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

A key audit matter for us was the 
Group’s annual testing of goodwill 

Our procedures included: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

83

and non-financial assets, given the: 
  size of the balance; and 
  market capitalisation of the 
Group being below the 
carrying amount of the net 
assets of the Group at year-
end, increasing the possibility 
of goodwill and non-financial 
assets being impaired and 
increasing our audit effort in 
this area. 

In relation to the carrying value of 
goodwill and non-financial assets we 
focused on the significant forward-
looking assumptions the Group 
applied in their value in use model, 
including: 
 

forecast cash flows, growth rates 
and terminal growth rates - the 
Group has experienced 
competitive market conditions in 
the current year and incurred a 
loss during the year; and 

  discount rate - this is complicated 
in nature and vary according to 
the conditions and environment 
the specific CGU is subject to 
from time to time, and the 
model’s approach to incorporating 
risks into the cash flows or 
discount rate. 

We involved valuation specialists to 
supplement our senior audit team 
members in assessing this key audit 
matter. 

In addition to the above, the Group 
recorded an impairment charge of 
$44.5m against goodwill and non-
financial assets, resulting from the 
softening of the end market, increasing 
the sensitivity of the model to small 
changes. This further increased our audit 
effort in this key audit matter. 

  We considered the appropriateness of the value in 
use method applied by the Group to perform the 
annual test of goodwill and non-financial assets for 
impairment against the requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

  We assessed the integrity of the value in use model 
used, including the accuracy of the underlying 
calculation formulas. 

  We compared the forecast cash flows contained in 
the value in use model to Board approved budget. 

  We assessed the accuracy of previous Group 
forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts 
incorporated in the model. 

  We challenged the forecast cash flows by comparing 
the financial year 2021 forecast cash flows to the 
historical actual growth in sales, gross profit and 
EBITDA. We used our knowledge of the Group, their 
past performance, business and customers. 

  We inspected post year-end management 

reporting accounts to compare actual performance 
to date against forecast for financial year 2021. 

  We considered the sensitivity of the model by varying 
key assumptions, such as financial year 2021 forecast 
cash flows, growth rates, terminal growth rates and 
discount rate, within a reasonably possible range, to 
identify those CGUs at higher risk of impairment and 
to focus our further audit procedures. 

  We compared forecast growth rates and terminal 

growth rates to published studies of industry trends 
and expectations. We used our knowledge of the 
Group, their past performance, business and 
customers, and our industry experience. 

  Working with our valuation specialists we 

independently developed a discount rate range 
considered comparable using publicly available market 
data for comparable entities, adjusted by risk factors 
specific to the Group and the industry it operates in.  

  We assessed the Group’s reconciliation of differences 
between the year-end market capitalisation and the 
carrying amount of the net assets by comparing the 
trading multiples from the model to trading multiples 
of comparable entities.

  We recalculated the impairment charge for the

recorded amount disclosed. 

  We assessed the respective disclosures in the 

financial report using our understanding obtained from

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in MaxiTRANS Industries Limited’s annual 
reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are 
responsible for the Other Information. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we 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. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting 

Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 

• implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true 

and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error 

• assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the 

going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related 
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate 
the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is:  

• 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.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report (Cont.)
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the 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 at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our
