The Multipurpose Support Vessel MMA Prestige is one of MMA’s flagship vessels and has operated successfully in South East Asia and the Middle 

East since delivery from MMA’s Batam Shipyard in 2016. The MMA Prestige has been designed and constructed to provide customers the opportunity 

for faster, more efficient and cost-effective project mobilisation times. MMA Prestige offers superior ultra-deep water lift capabilities and has been 

designed with on-board systems and infrastructure to be on location longer with minimised external support, and maximum shipboard facilities for 

productive offshore work.

MMA’s combination of quality offshore 
vessels, technical marine expertise and 
strategically located onshore facilities 
enables it to provide innovative, fit for 
purpose vessel solutions to the offshore 
oil and gas industry. This includes 
collaborating with clients on specialised 
vessel designs, vessel conversions 
and modification projects to meet their 
unique project requirements.

MMA also has a strong capability in 
project managing larger marine logistics 
projects, supplementing its owned fleet 
with chartered vessels as required. MMA 
can leverage its land based facilities 
in South East Asia as staging and 
preparation facilities to service these 
projects.

MMA prides itself on the quality, safety 
and reliability of its operations which 
are critical to success in the offshore 
industry. 

Onshore Facilities

Supporting vessel operations are MMA’s 
two onshore facilities in South East Asia.

Singapore Onshore Support Facility

MMA’s Singapore Facility includes a 2.5 
hectare site with 130 meters of water 
frontage, making it an ideal facility for 
vessel modification projects, mobilisation 
and demobilisation scopes and as a 
staging area for offshore projects.

Batam Shipyard Facility

MMA’s Batam Shipyard includes an 
18.1 hectare yard site, fabrication and 
construction areas and warehouse 
storage facilities. The facility was 
previously used to build customised 
offshore support vessels and is now 
used as a multi-user storage, staging 
and project preparation facility.

Offshore Vessels

MMA currently owns and operates a 
fleet of 28 high quality offshore vessels 
with an average age of approximately 6 
years. The owned fleet is supported by 
chartered vessels as required.

Our key regions of operation include 
Australia/New Zealand, South East Asia, 
the Middle East and Africa.

MMA’s fleet is capable of undertaking 
a range of offshore marine and subsea 
services including:

•  Offtake support;

•  Supply operations – drilling and 

production;

•  Construction support;

•  Seismic and survey support;

•  Tug and barge operations;

•  Anchor handling and towing;

•  Accommodation support;

•  Dive and ROV support;

•  Subsea installation support; and

•  Subsea inspection, maintenance and 

repair.

2018 Financial Report

C h a i r m a n ’s   A d d r e s s

MMA has streamlined its  busi ness  and  s trengt hened  it s  balance s heet   

to p osition the Company  for  an  im prov ement  in  mar ke t  co ndit ions

Whilst we continue to feel the impact of 
the prolonged downturn in the offshore 
vessel market, the broader oil and gas 
market has improved over the course of 
FY2018 with the oil price recovering and 
holding over US$70 per barrel (Brent) for 
the past six months. 

The outlook for the oil price appears to 
be more positive with industry experts 
now predicting a tightening in the 
supply-demand balance with limited 
spare production capacity in the market. 
Notwithstanding this, we can expect 
the oil market to remain volatile and 
be subjected to ongoing supply and 
demand fluctuations.

The outlook for LNG has also improved 
with increased demand expected over 
the coming years, particularly from 
China. 

The improved oil price, in conjunction 
with significant reductions in operating 
costs has begun to translate to oil 
company earnings, with the majors 
recently reporting large profit increases. 
In addition, project FIDs are expected 
to increase significantly in 2018 and 
2019, as previously deferred projects 
are sanctioned in an effort to replace 
depleting reserves. This bodes well for 
an increase in vessel activity over time.

On the supply side, the vessel market 
remains oversupplied, however there 
is increasing consensus that a large 
number of vessels which have been laid 
up during the downturn may not return 
to service due to prohibitive reactivation 
costs and a reluctance by oil companies 
to contract vessels which have been out 
of service for long periods of time. These 
circumstances should reduce some of 
the supply overhang. 

MMA has had a focused strategy over 
the past three years to manage its cash 
flow and debt obligations and to position 
the Company for a return to more normal 
trading conditions. 

As part of our ongoing cost reduction 
programme, we have significantly 
reduced our direct operating costs and 
overheads with corporate and vessel 
overheads reduced by 50% since 
FY2015.

A key part of our strategy was 
the disposal of assets which were 
considered to not be core to the 
business going forward. This included 
the Company’s Australian Supply Base 
assets which were sold for $52.8 million 
in the previous financial year. In addition, 
we reviewed our fleet and sold 36 of our 
smaller, older and more commoditised 
vessels realising cash of approximately 
$100 million. The proceeds from these 
asset sales were predominantly used 
to reduce debt, improving our gearing 
and reducing our interest costs. The 
sales programme has also stemmed 
the ongoing operating losses and cash 
drain from these underutilised vessels, 
an estimated cumulative saving of $20 
million.

Following the strategic repositioning of 
the fleet, MMA is now focused on the 
more complex and higher margin sectors 
of the industry where it can leverage 
its marine expertise to generate higher 
returns on its assets. The core fleet 
now comprises 28 high quality vessels 
with an average age of approximately 
six years, young by industry standards. 
We have been diligent in maintaining 
our vessels to a high standard during 
the downturn which will position these 
vessels well to compete for contracts as 
market activity increases.

In addition to the asset sales mentioned 
above, MMA further strengthened 
its balance sheet in December 2017 
through an equity raising under which 
the Company raised $97 million (before 
costs) and concurrently secured 
valuable amendments to the terms of 
the Company’s debt facilities.  These 
amendments included an extension of 
the term of the facilities by two years 
through to September 2021, amended 
covenants including a covenant holiday 
until June 2019, a reduced interest rate 
and revised amortisation profile.  

The equity raising was oversubscribed 
and the funds raised at a very modest 
discount to the share price at the time 
which was pleasing. MMA now has an 
improved cash buffer and a stronger 
platform to take advantage of future 
opportunities. 

Notwithstanding the strengthened 
balance sheet, MMA’s net debt as a 
multiple of its current earnings remains 
well above our target level. 

A key focus is to improve the returns on 
our assets to acceptable levels which will 
in turn improve our debt metrics.

Returns should improve through 
increased utilisation and rates as 
the market normalises. However, we 
are not relying solely on this to drive 
improved returns on our assets. We 
are also focused on boosting returns 
through providing additional services to 
clients, chartering in additional vessels, 
managing large logistics projects and 
increasing our presence in the subsea 
vessel market. Whilst we have made 
progress on these initiatives in FY18 
we plan to accelerate these efforts in 
the current year as we strive to improve 
financial performance as quickly as 
possible.

Fundamental to our success is our 
operational excellence and service 
delivery to clients. MMA has a strong 
reputation as a quality operator with 
a unique skill in delivering innovative 
marine solutions to our clients. This 
has translated into a number of very 
significant contract wins over the past 
three years in a highly competitive 
market.

Safety is core to our operations and 
pleasingly MMA maintained its excellent 
safety performance in FY2018 with a 
total recordable case frequency of 0.28 
per million hours worked. This truly is 
a world class safety performance and 
significantly better than the marine 
industry average of 1.8.

We expect market conditions in terms of 
vessel utilisation to improve during the 
course of FY2019. It will, however, take 
time for higher utilisation to translate into 
higher day rates.

We are targeting a cash flow neutral 
position for the business in FY2019 while 
we continue to position the Company 
to take advantage of improved market 
conditions and opportunities as they 
emerge.

I would like to conclude by thanking 
my fellow Board members for their 
valuable contribution and stewardship 
of the business over what continues to 
be a challenging time for our industry. I 
would like to welcome our newest Board 
member, Mr Peter Kennan, who joined 
the Board in September 2017. Peter is 
the Managing Partner and CIO of Black 
Crane Capital, MMA’s largest shareholder 
and we welcome his valuable expertise 
to the Board of Directors.

I would also like to pay tribute to Mr 
Tony Howarth AO, who retired from the 
Board in November 2017. Tony made a 
tremendous contribution to MMA during 
his 16 years on the Board, 11 of which 
he served as Chairman. 

We are very lucky to have an excellent 
team of people at MMA. I would like to 
acknowledge our Managing Director, 
Mr Jeff Weber and all management and 
staff for their ongoing dedication and 
commitment to MMA. 

Finally, I would like to thank you, our 
shareholders for your ongoing support of 
the Company.

offshore vessel market continued 

EBITDA and utilisation over the 

fleet completed

to be challenging during FY2018 

previous financial year

Revenue for the year was $200.4 million, 
down 9.6% on FY2017. EBITDA was 
up 2% at $18.5 million, including a 
$2.3 million loss from Dampier Slipway 
which ceased operations in June 
2018. Excluding this loss, the business 
produced an EBITDA of $20.8 million up 
15.6% on the previous year. 

Australian operations contributed 
revenue of $142.2 million during FY2018, 
down slightly on the $148.8 million 
generated in FY2017. Revenue from 
international operations was $58.2 
million, down from $72.9 million in 
FY2017.  

Average utilisation for the year was 56% 
up from 52% in FY2017. Second half 
utilisation was stronger at 65% (1H 47%) 
as a number of our non-core vessels 
were disposed of. The sale of these 
vessels reduced the drag on utilisation 
and also improved our margins as 
holding costs were eliminated. Excluding 
vessels held for sale, utilisation for the 
core fleet was 69%. 

MMA’s strategic repositioning of its 
fleet through its non-core vessel sales 
programme has been very successful, 
saving cash and reducing MMA’s 
exposure to vessels which are not 
expected to generate a satisfactory 
return on assets over time.  

Nine vessels were sold during the 
FY2018 financial year for a total of 
approximately A$27 million with a further 
vessel sold in July 2018 for A$5.1 million. 
Since FY2016, MMA has disposed of 36 
vessels for a total of approximately $100 
million. 

The programme has resulted in the 
elimination of cumulative cash operating 
losses on these vessels of approximately 
$20 million from date of sale through to 
30 June 2018. In addition, there have 
been substantial savings in interest costs 
and docking costs.

The majority of vessels sold have been 
older tonnage not relevant to the future 
market, or more commoditised vessels 
which we anticipate will be the slowest 
market to recover. The sales programme 
has freed up operational capacity 
to focus on higher margin and more 
complex sectors of the industry where 
MMA can leverage its marine expertise 
to generate better returns. 

although the signs of a recovery 

continue to be positive

The broader oil and gas market has 
improved with the oil price increasing 
60% since the beginning of the financial 
year.

As a result of the downturn over 
the past few years, there has been 
significant underinvestment by oil and 
gas companies in the replacement of 
depleting reserves. We are starting to 
see some signs of this changing with 
Rystad Energy recently predicting that 
project FIDs will rise significantly in 2018 
and 2019 as previously deferred projects 
are sanctioned. 

Seismic and subsea companies are also 
reporting increases in activity, all of which 
are early indicators of an increase in 
vessel activity over time. 

Offshore maintenance expenditure, 
which has been deferred during the 
downturn should also increase as 
conditions improve, increasing demand 
in the IMR market. 

Whilst the broader oil and gas market 
is improving, this has yet to translate to 
the offshore vessel sector due to the 
lag between investment decisions by 
oil companies and an increase in vessel 
demand. However, the indicators are 
positive and we do appear to be at the 
bottom of the cycle with utilisation, rates 
and asset values appearing to have 
stabilised over the past 12 months.

Operating & Financial Review

2018 Financial Report

Under the amendments to MMA’s debt 
facilities which were agreed in November 
2017, the Company committed to $30 
million in amortisation from vessel sales 
by 31 December 2018. As at the date of 
this report, the full $30 million target has 
been met. 

The vessel sales programme is almost 
complete with two vessels remaining on 
the sales list with one of these currently 
under a sales contract.

Ongoing cost reduction 

programme has resulted in a 

significantly reduced cost base

MMA has taken significant steps to 
sustainably reduce its cost base over 
the past three years with corporate 
and vessel overheads down 50% since 
FY2015.

There has also been a major focus 
on reducing our direct costs through 
retendering key expense items and 
ongoing supplier renegotiations.

MMA continues to review all aspects 
of its business for improvements and 
efficiencies.

As mentioned previously the non-core 
vessel sales programme has been a 
major initiative to reduce holding costs 
on underutilised vessels.

MMA also actively manages costs on its 
vessels between contracts to minimise 
operating costs. 

The decision to close the Dampier 
Slipway on 30 June 2018, which posted 
a loss of $2.3 million for FY18, will 
reduce costs in FY2019. Unfortunately 
the volume of activity in the region made 
it no longer sustainable to have an 
in-house vessel maintenance facility in 
Australia.

MMA continues to focus on reducing 
costs in all areas of the business whilst 
maintaining high safety and operating 
standards which are essential to success 
in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Market Outlook

vessel operations

At MMA we understand that our people 
are critical to our success.

The last four years have been very 
challenging for MMA from a people 
perspective as market conditions 
necessitated a significant reduction in our 
workforce. I would like to acknowledge 
all those who contributed to MMA over 
the years who are no longer with the 
Company.

I would like to thank my Senior 
Management Team who have shown 
strong leadership and commitment 
and all MMA staff for their valuable 
contribution to the business over what 
has been a difficult time.

We had a number of changes to the 
Board of Directors during the year. 
I would like to pay special tribute to 
Tony Howarth our former Chairman 
who retired in November 2017 after 16 
years on the Board. I would also like to 
formally acknowledge our new Chairman 
Andrew Edwards who has seamlessly 
transitioned into the role. I would 
also like to welcome our most recent 
appointment to the Board, Mr Peter 
Kennan who joined the Board during 
the year. Peter is the representative of a 
major shareholder, Black Crane Capital 
and brings a wealth of investment and 
corporate finance skills to the Company. 
I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank the Board of Directors for their 
valuable guidance and stewardship.

MMA has strategically repositioned its 
business over the past 2 years with the 
sale of its Australian supply base assets 
and non-core vessels.

MMA’s strategy is now focused on a core 
fleet of 28 high quality vessels targeting 
more specialised and complex projects 
where MMA can leverage its marine 
expertise to extract the most value from 
its assets. 

The owned fleet will be supplemented by 
chartered vessels as required to boost 
earnings. 

MMA has a strong project management 
capability and will continue to leverage 
this expertise to project manage 
larger marine logistics projects. MMA’s 
land based facilities in South East 
Asia provide additional capability and 
resources to mobilise and deliver these 
types of projects.

MMA is also focused on building its 
subsea capability focusing on the light 
construction, inspection maintenance 
and repair and dive support sectors of 
the market. MMA currently has 5 vessels 
working in this sector and is seeking to 
grow its fleet and internal capability to 
meet expected increased demand. 

Regionally, we continue to focus on 
maintaining operating scale in our key 
regions of Australia/New Zealand, the 
Middle East and South East Asia, with 
operations in Africa on the back of long 
term contracts.

Market sentiment continues to be 
positive around a recovery in market 
conditions for offshore vessels. We 
are already starting to see improved 
conditions in the broader oil and gas 
market and early signs of a recovery in oil 
and gas investment including increased 
FIDs, seismic and subsea orders. 

Unfortunately there is a lag between 
investment decisions by oil and gas 
companies and an increase in vessel 
demand so we expect market conditions 
to remain challenging in FY2019.

The oversupply of offshore vessels in 
the market is still an issue, although we 
anticipate that a large proportion of the 
global cold stacked fleet will not return to 
service which will eliminate some of the 
supply overhang. 

MMA currently has 18 of its 28 core 
vessels under contract with the 
remaining vessels operating in the spot 
market. As at 30 June 2018, MMA had 
41% of total vessel days contracted for 
FY2019 (58% for the PSV fleet, 51% 
for the MPSV/IMR fleet and 30% for the 
AHT/AHTS fleet).

We expect utilisation to increase across 
the course of FY2019 with only modest 
improvement in day rates this financial 
year. 

Jeff Weber
Managing Director

MMA continues to improve its safety 
performance. MMA’s Total Recordable 
Case Frequency (“TRCF”) for FY2018 
was 0.28 per million hours worked, 
the Company’s best ever performance 
and significantly better than the marine 
industry average.

MMA continues to strive for ‘A Perfect 
Day Every Day’, that is a day free of 
recordable injuries or illness and material 
incidents. In FY2018, we achieved 339 
Perfect Days across the organisation, 
up from 310 perfect days in FY2017. 
We continue to strive for our target of 
365 perfect days, a target we believe is 
achievable. 

We also completed a comprehensive 
review of our Target 365 Critical 
Controls during the year, to ensure that 
they remain relevant to our changing 
business.

Safety is a critical focus area for 
MMA and we will continue to drive 
improvements in safety across the 
organisation.

In December 2017, MMA completed 
a balance sheet recapitalisation, 
raising $97m in equity combined with 
amendments to the Company’s debt 
facilities. 

The equity component was fully 
underwritten and comprised a $22.4 
million institutional placement and 
a $74.6 million 1 for 1, pro-rata, 
accelerated, non-renounceable 
entitlement offer. 

The proceeds of the equity raising were 
used to repay, in part, $30 million of debt 
and provide an improved cash buffer 
and stronger capital structure for the 
Company. 

As part of the recapitalisation, MMA’s 
existing lenders agreed to a number 
of important amendments to the 
Company’s debt facilities including: 

•  An extension of the term to  

30 September 2021;

•  A reduction in the interest rate and 

removal of the payment in kind (PIK) 
interest;

•  Amended covenants including a 

covenant holiday until 30 June 2019; 
and

•  A revised amortisation profile with 

scheduled amortisation commencing 
in June 2020 including a cash sweep 
above $70 million.

Full details of the equity raising and debt 
facility amendments can be found in the 
Equity Raising Investor Presentation, 
dated 16 November 2017, which can be 
found on the Company’s website.

Following the equity raising and debt 
amendments, MMA’s cash at bank as 
at 30 June 2018 was $69.6 million and 
Net Debt (Interest Bearing Liabilities 
less Cash at Bank) was $199.0 million. 
Gearing (Net debt / Equity) has reduced 
from 115.2% as at 30 June 2017 to 
60.7% as at 30 June 2018.

MMA reviewed the carrying value of 
its fleet as at 31 December 2017, in 
line with accounting standards, which 
resulted in a small reversal of the 
previous impairment charge of $8.4m. 
No further adjustments to the carrying 
value of MMA’s assets were required on 
30 June 2018.

Financially FY2018 was focused on 
two key areas: firstly, strengthening 
the Balance Sheet through the capital 
raising, debt amendments and asset 
sales and secondly, maximising earnings 
before interest, tax and depreciation 
(EBITDA) through utilisation and cost 
rationalisation in the current challenging 
market conditions.

The capital raising has delivered 
stability to the balance sheet, giving 
our customers surety that we are a 
genuine long-term partner and providing 
sufficient cash runway to capitalise on 
opportunities during the recovery. 

Impairment Reversal

The Company reported a net loss after 
tax for the 2018 financial year of $(27.9) 
million. This included a reversal of non-
cash impairment charges of $8.4 million 
against the carrying value.

In accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, the Company 
assessed the recoverable amount of its 
vessel assets as at 31 December 2017 
and again at 30 June 2018.

EBITDA was $18.5 million which 
included a ($2.3) million EBITDA loss 
from the Company’s Slipway operations. 
The Slipway ceased operations on 30 
June 2018. Adjusting for the Slipway 
loss, underlying EBITDA for the year was 
$20.8m.

A recapitalisation of the Company 
occurred in December 2017 with 
net funds of $92.4 million raised to 
strengthen the balance sheet and 
position the Company for a recovery 
in market conditions. Of the net $92.4 
million, $30.0 million was used to pay 
down debt.

An independent valuation of the fleet was 
undertaken which indicated that market 
values appear to have stabilised over 
the past 12 months. This assessment 
resulted in a reduction to the enbloc 
discount, which is applied to the vessel 
valuation, from 20.0% to 17.5% as at 
December 2017. This reduction along 
with foreign exchange movements and 
depreciation resulted in a write back of 
previous vessel impairments to the value 
of $8.4m.

Balance Sheet

Dividends

In addition to the capital raising, the 
Company received net proceeds of 
$25.3 million during the year from asset 
sales which included the sale of nine 
non-core vessels in the fleet during 
FY2018. 

A further $6.0 million of funds from prior 
year sales, which were on balance sheet 
at 30 June 2017, were also remitted to 
the banking syndicate over the year. 

Total repayment of borrowings during the 
year including the funds from the capital 
raising was $61.3 million.  

Cash flow from operations for the 2018 
financial year was negative $(2.3) million 
after meeting interest and cash costs on 
the Company’s debt facilities of $(16.9) 
million.

Capital expenditure for the year of $9.2 
million represented sustaining capital 
expenditure only. Sustaining capital 
expenditure is required to maintain the 
Company’s vessels as well as its licence 
to operate to generate income. 

No growth capital expenditure was 
incurred during the financial year due 
to the prevailing market conditions and 
availability of assets to charter in, limiting 
the need for MMA to deploy capital to 
secure contracts in the short term. 

In December 2017, MMA undertook a 
recapitalisation of the Company, raising 
$97m in equity before costs, $30m of 
which was used to repay debt.

As part of the recapitalisation MMA 
secured the following key amendments 
to the Company’s existing debt facilities: 

•  A facility extension to 30 Sept 2021;

•  Reduced interest rate including the 
removal of payment in kind (PIK) 
interest;

•  Amended covenants including a 

covenant holiday to 30 June 2019;

No dividends have been declared for  
the 2018 financial year.

•  A revised amortisation profile with 

scheduled amortisation commencing 
in June 2020 including a cash sweep 
above $70 million.

The Company has the ongoing support 
of its Banking Syndicate who continue 
to work with the Company during these 
challenging trading conditions.  

The Company continues to have a 
strong asset base comprising its core 
fleet of high quality vessels with an 
average age of just over six years. At 30 
June 2018, the Company reported Total 
Assets of $639.8 million, Net Assets of 
$328.3 million and a NTA backing of 
$0.38 per share.

At 30 June 2018 the Company had  
cash reserves totalling $69.6 million. 

The Company’s gearing ratio (net debt 
to equity) at 30 June 2018 following 
the impairment reversal for the year 
decreased to 60.7%, compared to 
115.2% the previous year.

Operating & Financial Review

Governance

2018 Financial Report

R i s k s

Effectively ident ifyi ng  and  mana ging   

ris k i s cr itical to  MMA’s  success.

MMA operates an enterprise risk 
management framework aligned to  
ISO 31000:2018, the international 
standard for risk management. 

This section describes (in no order of 
significance) the material risks that have 
been identified and are being managed 
in order for the Company to deliver on 
its objectives. It is not intended to be 
all encompassing, nor are any of the 
assumptions intended to be taken as 
a statement of fact. These risks can be 
affected by a variety of factors which 
can, in turn, impact the Company’s 
performance.

Dependence on level of activity in 
the offshore oil and gas industry

The Company is dependent on the 
level of activity in the offshore oil and 
gas industry, particularly in the areas 
where the Company currently operates 
(including Australia, New Zealand, South 
East Asia, the Middle East and Africa).

The level of activity in the offshore oil 
and gas industry may vary and be 
affected by, amongst other things, 
prevailing or predicted future oil and gas 
prices.  A number of other factors also 
affect the offshore oil and gas industry, 
including economic growth, energy 
demand, the cost and availability of other 
energy sources and changes in energy 
technology and regulation. There can 
be no assurance that the current levels 
of offshore oil and gas activity will be 
maintained or increased in the future 
or that oil and gas companies will not 
further reduce their offshore activities 
and capital expenditure. Any prolonged 
period of low offshore oil and gas activity 
(such as that which is currently being 
experienced) will have an adverse effect 
on MMA’s business. 

The Company aims to mitigate the 
impact of lower offshore oil and gas 
activity by differentiating itself through 
innovation and operational excellence, by 
diversifying our contract portfolio across 
exploration, construction, production and 
maintenance/repair and by diversifying 
our geographic footprint across a 
number of key regional areas.

Any decreases in industry activity or a 
lack of recovery in industry activity may 
also increase the risk of the Company 
failing to comply with the covenants 
associated with its Banking Facilities. 
In addition to the controls listed above, 
MMA seeks to manage this risk through 
proactively engaging with its lenders 
and through ongoing monitoring and 
review of the Company’s Balance Sheet 
strategy.

Competition, vessel oversupply 
and fleet composition 
misalignment with market 
demand 

Demand for MMA’s vessels is also 
affected by the number of vessels 
available in the market and the 
competitive landscape.

In the current market, there is 
an oversupply of vessels and a 
corresponding misalignment with 
demand. This has led to an increase in 
competition which adversely impacts 
vessel utilisation, rates and contract 
terms, thereby impacting MMA’s 
earnings and profitability.

MMA seeks to manage this risk by 
having a clear strategic plan including 
an ongoing review of its asset mix and 
capability to meet market demand. 
To this end, MMA has disposed of a 
number of non-core vessels from the 
fleet which are commoditised in nature to 
focus on more technically sophisticated 
vessels where MMA can utilise its marine 
expertise to extract the most value out 
of both its own assets and those assets 
bareboat chartered from third party 
owners. 

MMA also has an active lay-up 
programme to minimise holding costs 
for vessels between contracts. These 
laid-up vessels are either cold or warm 
stacked predominantly at our land based 
facilities in Batam and Singapore to 
minimise costs.

MMA’s strategic plan to manage this risk 
also focuses on regional strategies to 
position itself in the most advantageous 
areas to operate (both in terms of 
demand and clients).

MMA’s strategy is to differentiate 
itself from its competitors through 
operational excellence, proactive 
and innovative solutions, long-term 
customer relationships and responsive 
account management - whilst remaining 
competitive on price.

Operational risks

The Company’s operations are subject 
to various risks inherent in servicing 
the offshore oil and gas industry. Our 
international operations broaden our risk 
exposure in terms of both opportunities 
and threats.

Operational risks include (but are not 
limited to):

Geopolitical, government and 
regulatory factors

•  Health and safety incidents;

• 

• 

Loss of key customers/contracts;

Failure by customers to pay 
for services contracted and/or 
performed;

•  Redeployment costs of assets that 

are unable to be used in their current 
geography for a period of time;

•  Equipment damage, technical 

failures or human error;

• 

Industrial unrest;

•  Capsizing, sinking, grounding, 
collisions, fires and explosions, 
piracy, vessel seizures or arrests and 
acts of terrorism;

•  Environmental pollution/

contamination and other related 
accidents; 

•  Regulatory and legislative non-

compliance;

Fraud and theft;

Increases in input costs; 

Loss of key personnel; and

• 

• 

• 

•  Contractual assumptions of risk.

Potential consequences associated with 
these risks include the loss of human life 
or serious injury, pollution, environmental 
damage, significant damage to or loss 
of assets and equipment, business 
disruption, client dissatisfaction, loss 
of contracts, damage to our reputation 
and legal and regulatory action, 
including fines. This could expose 
MMA to significant liabilities, a loss of 
utilisation, revenue and/or the incurrence 
of additional costs and therefore may 
have a materially adverse impact on 
the Company’s financial position and 
profitability.

We employ a number of well executed 
controls to manage these risks, 
including, but not limited to, appropriate 
insurance coverage, hazard and risk 
management processes, quality audits, 
planned maintenance programmes, 
compliance programmes, tender and 
contract management processes, 
access to in-house and external 
legal expertise, industrial relations 
strategies, emergency preparedness 
and contingency plans, preferred 
supplier and subcontractor processes, 
counterparty risk assessments and a 
host of engineering and operational 
controls.

Our international operations are subject 
to challenging geopolitical climates 
to varying degrees. Changes in the 
geopolitical climate in our market areas, 
such as the outbreak or resolution of 
war, nationalisation of a customer’s oil 
and gas project and changes to industry 
related legislation, protectionist measures 
and economic sanctions, may open up 
more advantageous areas to operate or 
could require us to discontinue operating 
in that area, leading to corresponding 
impacts on vessel and service utilisation.

MMA may face restrictions on its ability 
to win work in certain countries due to 
changing cabotage regulations and/or 
may be required to form joint ventures 
in some countries in order to access the 
local offshore oil and gas markets.  Joint 
ventures may introduce a higher level of 
operational, financial and counterparty 
risk. 

MMA’s strategic plan considers such 
risks and operationally we risk assess 
market areas and clients regularly to limit 
negative and optimise positive impacts.

Industry news, experienced personnel 
and industry relationships are leveraged 
to ensure we base our decisions on 
up to date geopolitical and market 
information. Contingency plans for fast 
emerging geopolitical risks are used to 
limit business disruption.

Foreign exchange

The majority of MMA’s revenues are 
paid in either Australian or US Dollars 
and the Company’s operating costs are 
primarily denominated in a combination 
of Australian, Singaporean and US 
Dollars, providing a natural hedge for our 
activities. MMA also has a combination 
of Australian Dollar and US Dollar debt.

Adverse movements in these currencies 
may result in a negative impact on 
MMA’s earnings.

MMA’s treasury policy and contract 
management processes further mitigate 
this risk. The Board also considers from 
time to time whether to manage currency 
fluctuation risk through appropriate 
hedging.

Australia/New Zealand

MMA’s Australian operations performed 
relatively well with a number of significant 
contracts boosting activity in the second 
half. Second half utilisation for the 
Australian fleet was 81%, a level that we 
have not seen for some time. 

In January 2018, MMA commenced a 
contract with Technip for the provision of 
two platform supply vessels (“PSVs”), the 
MMA Leveque and the MMA Valour, for 
a pipehaul project at Woodside’s Greater 
Enfield project off Exmouth in Western 
Australia. The scope of work included 
the transportation of line pipe from the 
Exmouth Gulf to the Greater Enfield Field 
from the Pipe Carrier Vessel ‘Global 
1201’. MMA also supplied a vessel to 
carry cargo from Vietnam to Dampier 
for the project. The project completed 
successfully in May 2018.

In March 2018, MMA commenced a 10 
month contract with ConocoPhillips for 
a multi-vessel marine spread to support 
drilling and shutdown operations at the 
Bayu-Undan gas field in the Timor Sea. 
Two PSVs, the MMA Leeuwin and MMA 
Responder (a PSV specifically chartered 
in for the project) are contracted to 
provide supply support services for 
the duration of the drilling campaign. 
In addition to the PSVs a number of 
anchor handling tug supply vessels 
(AHTSs) are supporting shut down, rig 
moves and additional supply scopes. 
This is an important project for MMA and 
will provide utilisation for these vessels 
through to the second half of FY2019.

We are seeing a reasonable amount 
of activity in Brunei and Malaysia and 
our two large AHTS vessels, the Jaya 
Majestic and Sea Hawk 1, were active in 
those markets on a number of projects 
during the year achieving utilisation of 
over 60%.

The MMA Almighty, a smaller AHTS, 
completed its long term production 
support with Ophir in Thailand early in 
the financial year and spent most of the 
remainder of the year idle. The contract 
was retendered and awarded at less 
than cash breakeven rates, an indication 
of the competitive nature of the South 
East Asian market for these more 
commoditised vessels. 

Our IMR vessels, the MMA Pinnacle and 
Prestige, are building a solid reputation 
in the IMR and dive support market, 
completing a number of short term 
work scopes across all of our operating 
regions during the first half. The South 
East Asian monsoon impacted demand 
towards the end of the calendar year 
with both vessels idle from the latter 
half of December and through most of 
the third quarter. Utilisation for the first 
half for these two vessels was 75% 
dropping to 52% in the second half. The 
lower utilisation in the second half had a 
significant impact on our financial result 
as the holding costs on these vessels are 
relatively high. As mentioned previously, 
the MMA Pinnacle has secured a three 
year contract with iTech/Subsea 7, 
commencing in Oct 2018, which will 
secure a baseload of utilisation for that 
vessel over the contract period. 

During the year, MMA was also 
contracted by Subsea7 for the provision, 
management and operation of tug and 
barge support vessels to transport 
project materials and equipment for 
Woodside’s Greater Western Flank-2 
Subsea Installation Project. The vessel 
spread includes a combination of owned 
and sub-contracted vessels including 
two of MMA’s 8,000bhp AHTSs, the 
MMA Coral and MMA Crystal, in 
addition to two smaller chartered in 
tugs and 2 chartered cargo barges. 
MMA managed and carried out the 
required mobilisation for the barges at 
its onshore facility in Batam, Indonesia. 
The project commenced in June 2018 
and is expected to continue through to 
September 2018.

In addition to the project work described 
above, MMA’s long term production 
support contracts in Australia continue 
to provide full utilisation for a number 
of our vessels. The MMA Brewster, 
MMA Plover, MMA Inscription, MMA 
Sound, MMA Strait and MMA Cove all 
experienced close to full utilisation during 
the year. 

There has also been a slight uptick in 
the amount of seismic work in the region 
with the MMA Searcher, which was 
relocated to New Zealand, completing 
seismic work for Shell and Schlumberger. 
The vessel has since returned to 
Australia to continue operations as 
a seismic support vessel. The MMA 
Vantage was also mobilised to support 
the seismic market and has been active 
during the year conducting a number 
of scopes in Australia for Polarcus and 
other clients.

MMA currently has 15 vessels working  
in Australia / New Zealand.

South East Asia (continued)

Middle East

Africa 

The remainder of the international spot 
fleet had low utilisation of approximately 
30%, excluding vessels held for sale, 
reflective of the ongoing difficult market 
conditions.

Tendering activity has increased 
somewhat in recent months with 
both volume of tenders and quality of 
counterparties improving. 

We are also starting to see the impact 
of long term laid up vessels on market 
availability, with some owners’ vessels 
being disqualified from tender awards 
due to lack of maintenance and 
compliance standards. We anticipate 
that a large proportion of long term laid 
up vessels will never return to the market 
due to the significant costs associated 
with bringing them back to acceptable 
operating standards. MMA has been 
diligent in maintaining its vessels 
throughout the downturn to ensure that 
they are available for work as and when 
required.

 At this stage it is difficult to say when 
market conditions will improve, although 
the region is set for a number of FIDs 
which should increase activity over time.

MMA currently has 8 vessels working  
in South East Asia. 

The MMA Centurion and MMA Chieftain 
continued their long term contracts for 
a client in Saudi Arabia achieving full 
utilisation during the year. A third vessel, 
the MMA Concordia went back on hire 
on this contract during the second half 
following an extended period off hire due 
to technical difficulties. Pleasingly, these 
contracts have been extended for a 
further year and will run through to  
Jun-19 with a further 1 year option.

The MMA Pride and MMA Cavalier 
are currently positioned in the Middle 
East and are working the spot market. 
These vessels are also mobilised to 
other regions for specific contracts, 
for example the Pride has recently 
been mobilised to Brunei for a 90 day 
contract. 

We are currently seeing strong tendering 
activity out of the Middle East region 
although competition remains intense. 
The Middle East requires a high level 
of technical and operational expertise 
and is well suited to MMA’s skillset. As 
such, MMA is focused on growing our 
presence in this region. 

The MMA Privilege, a large multipurpose 
maintenance vessel, is currently on a 
long term maintenance support contract 
in Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa. The vessel 
has been operating in Côte d’Ivoire since 
it was delivered from MMA’s Batam 
shipyard in 2016. MMA secured a further 
one year contract for the vessel in April 
2018.

MMA currently does not have any 
vessels operating in the West African 
spot market due to the current market 
conditions but we will transfer vessels 
into this market on the back of long term 
contracts.

Whilst market activity in West Africa 
remains subdued, the longer term 
prospects for East Africa remain 
promising with a number of LNG projects 
flagged for development. In June 2017, 
ENI sanctioned its Coral South FLNG 
project in offshore Mozambique. Key 
EPC contracts have been awarded 
and the project is targeting first gas in 
2022. A final investment decision is also 
expected on Anadarko’s Mozambique 
LNG Project in 2019. East Africa is 
an emerging region with significant 
gas discoveries and MMA will seek to 
leverage its experience in frontier LNG 
developments in Australia to support 
these projects.

At MMA Offshore, the health and safety 
of our employees, contractors, visitors 
and clients is fundamental to the way we 
do business.

Our operations are underpinned by 
our Target 365 Culture, our relentless 
commitment to the systematic 
management of health and safety and 
the environment in which we operate in.

In FY2018 MMA maintained a world 
class HSEQ performance. MMA’s Total 
Recordable Case Frequency “TRCF” 
for the year was 0.28, per million hours 
worked, our best ever performance, a 
70% improvement on 2017 and a 91% 
improvement over the past five years. 
This is world class health and safety 
performance compared to our industry 
peers with the IMCA average for 2017 at 
1.8 per million hours worked.  

MMA continues to strive for ‘A Perfect 
Day Every Day’, that is a day free of 
recordable injuries or illness and material 
incidents; our “Target 365”. MMA tracks 
the number of ‘Perfect Days’ across its 
global operations with our target being 
365 perfect days each year. In FY2018, 
MMA achieved a level of 93% Perfect 
Days across the whole organisation, 
an 8% improvement on the previous 
reporting period. 

MMA continues to encourage an open 
reporting culture and is now including 
measures relating to asset reliability in its 
Target 365 reporting.

As part of our continuous improvement 
culture, we have implemented a number 
of initiatives during the year, including:

•  A comprehensive internal assurance 
programme targeted at verifying that 
sufficient controls are in place  to 
prevent incidents and maintain our 
licence to operate;

•  Continued to embed and completed 
a comprehensive review of our 
Target 365 Critical Controls. We will 
roll out an updated set of Target 365 
Critical Control’s in FY2019, which 
have been benchmarked against 
industry standards; and

•  Undertaking our largest ever review 
of our management systems. 
In FY2019, we will complete a 
significant change to our systems to 
ensure efficient and effective global 
operations.

MMA continues to be active in industry 
HSEQ forums by openly sharing lessons 
learned and through active involvement 
in events and forums across our 
global operations. MMA contributed 
to the International Marine Contractors 
Association (“IMCA”) Global HSSE 
Committee as the representative for 
the Asia Pacific region and is an active 
member of Safer Together WA/NT in 
Australia.

Environment

MMA remains committed to achieving 
the highest standard of environmental 
performance across all of its business 
activities.

MMA completed a programme of 
environmental monitoring and reporting 
during FY2018, in compliance with our 
onshore environmental licences.

Quality

During FY2018, MMA attained global 
accreditation to the revised ISO 
9001:2015 Standard and maintained ISO

O u r   C o m m u n i t y

At MMA we strive to provide a diverse, 
high performance workplace built on 
trust, cooperation and mutual respect. 

The key to our success is our ability to 
attract and retain the best people in the 
business. This is in part due to a strong 
culture that unites our people across 
business groups, countries and vessels, 
as well as the professional development 
opportunities that come with a career at 
MMA.

MMA’s workforce planning principles 
continue to be based on a dynamic 
model that plans for the right person, to 
be in the right job, with the right skills, at 
the right time. 

In 2017, we finalised new Enterprise 
Agreements covering our Australian 
marine personnel for a period of four 
years. The agreements have now been 
in operation for over a year and will 
continue to provide certainty to our 
clients and employees through to 2021.

Additionally, FY2018 saw the continued 
refinement of MMA’s resource planning 
and utilisation analysis tools, which has 
enabled the business to optimise the 
scheduling of our offshore employees.

Training and Development

MMA is committed to the development 
of our people through performance 
feedback, internal development 
opportunities and training programmes.

MMA continues to focus on providing 
our people with the right skills so that 
they can perform their roles safely and 
competently.

During FY2018, MMA redesigned and 
renewed its focus on our Performance 
Management framework with the aim of 
further embedding a high performance 
culture within the business. 

We have continued with the commitment 
to providing in-house training activities 
during the year, with several new training 
programmes developed to meet specific 
needs or risks within the business.
Throughout the year, 820 employees 
completed 7,014 individual training 
programmes. Of these, 80% were 
developed in-house using MMA’s online 
learning environment and 859 were 
verification of competencies completed 
by our crew onboard a vessel.

MMA also resumed its cadet training 
programme during the year emphasising 
its commitment to developing the next 
generation of ocean going seafarers in 
Australia. Four Deck and Engineering 
Officer Graduates commenced with 
MMA during the past twelve months, 
with each of these undertaking on-shore 
study at the Australian Maritime College 
in Launceston Tasmania.

Diversity

As a business with a global focus, MMA 
aims to have a workforce that best 
represents the communities in which we 
do business.

MMA’s employees are made up of 
22 different nationalities, with 519 of 
our people coming from non-English 
speaking backgrounds.

Employment opportunities for Timor 
Leste citizens have increased in line with 
the company’s increased operational 
presence in the region.

Increasing the employment opportunities 
for Indigenous Australians continues 
to be a focus as well as providing 
opportunities for women in non-
traditional seafaring roles. 

In terms of gender diversity, the 
percentage of women holding senior 
management positions within the 
company for FY2018 was as follows:

•  Board of Directors - 20%

•  Executive Management - 20%

•  Senior Management - 26.8%

MMA  is committed to  makin g a po s itive con tr ibutio n to  the commun iti es i n whi ch we operate.

To support its community engagement 
goals MMA is committed to:

• 

Investing in local community projects 
that have a positive and sustainable 
benefit;

•  Seeking business opportunities with 

local suppliers and subcontractors;

•  Striving to be good corporate 

citizens, conducting business in an 
ethical manner;

•  Developing long term relationships 
with local indigenous communities 
in order to increase indigenous 
participation in our workforce and 
promote opportunities for training 
and development; and

•  Creating and maintaining cross 

cultural awareness throughout the 
business

MMA strives to enhance community 
participation through the procurement 
of local goods and services as well as 
through the promotion of opportunities 
for training and development. MMA 
also continues its participation in 
locally-based industry network groups 
to enhance its interaction with local 
stakeholders.

Procurement

Supporting local contractors and 
vendors (including indigenous 
businesses) is a key priority for MMA.

Where practical, MMA aims to procure 
at least 80% of its operational spend 
through localised supply and service 
agreements.

We also actively look for ways to develop 
new capabilities in the communities in 
which we operate. 

Typically, we identify opportunities 
where local providers have the ability 
to directly service MMA’s requirements 
and where this is not possible, we work 
with counterparties to develop these 
offerings.

In FY2018 MMA continued to engage 
with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 
(“ATSI”) enterprises to support its 
operations offshore Australia.

The range of products and services 
supplied by ATSI businesses includes 
waste management services, office 
supplies, personal protective equipment, 
lifting and rigging equipment and 
consumables, victualling supplies, 
facilities maintenance, graphic design, 
and payroll and recruitment services. 

Employment 

As a business with a global focus, MMA 
aims to have a workforce that best 
represents the communities in which we 
operate. 

MMA has a number of targeted 
employment opportunities and 
programmes in place including a Timor-
Leste Local Content Strategy and an 
ATSI traineeship programme.

MMA’s operations increased in the 
Timor Sea during FY2018, as a result 
of its contract to support operations at 
ConocoPhillips’ Bayu-Undan project. 
Through its activities in this region, MMA 
is committed to providing a marine 
career pathway for Timorese nationals.

Two STCW-rated cadets have graduated 
from the Akademi Laut Malaysia Seafarer 
Program. An additional five Timorese 
cadets have been recruited and will 
undertake their study during 2018/19.
These graduates will then have the 
opportunity to enter our international 
fleet to gain valuable sea time as well as 
have access to ongoing positions within 
the fleet. 

MMA’s ATSI Traineeship programme is 
providing marine careers to ATSI people 
in Northern Australia. With a growing 
number of vessels operating from 
Darwin, ATSI communities are a key 
stakeholder in our operations. 

In the last 12 months, one ATSI trainee 
has successfully completed a Certificate 
III in Maritime Operations (Integrated 
Rating) at South Metropolitan TAFE. This 
trainee has progressed to sea time in 
order to gain eligibility for an Integrated 
Rating Certificate of Proficiency. An 
additional ATSI trainee has commenced 
the on-shore study component of the 
traineeship.

Sponsorship 

As part of MMA’s ongoing Target 365 
rewards programme, business units 
contributed donations to a range of 
charities during FY2018 including Motor 
Neuron Disease Australia, The Starlight 
Children’s Foundation, Red Nose, The 
Royal Flying Doctor Service and a range 
of fundraisers through Everyday Hero. 

MMA recognises that supporting 
community endeavours, either in kind or 
monetarily, is a responsibility we have to 
the communities in which we operate. 
We look forward to continuing our 
corporate citizenship in FY2019.

Principal Activities

The principal activities and operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year were the provision of marine logistics and 
marine services to the offshore oil and gas industry.

During the financial year, the Company completed an equity raise and amendments to its debt facilities.  Details of these are 
contained in notes 3.8 and 4.1 to the financial statements. Other than as previously referred to in the annual report, there were no 
other significant changes in the nature of the activities of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Review of Operations

A review of the operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year and the results of those operations are set out in the 
Chairman’s Address and the Managing Director’s Report on pages 4 - 9.

Changes in State of Affairs

The Chairman’s Address and the Managing Director’s Report (on pages 4 - 9) sets out a number of matters which have had a 
significant effect on the state of affairs of the consolidated entity. Other than those matters, there was no significant change in the 
state of affairs of the consolidated entity.

Subsequent Events

There has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, 
or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the

Secretary and all Executive Officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred in acting in their 
capacity as a Director, Company Secretary or Executive Officer of the Company to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth). The relevant contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company’s Constitution requires the Company, so far as permitted under applicable law and to the extent the person is not 
otherwise indemnified, to indemnify each officer of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and may indemnify its auditors, 
against a liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor to any person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) 
including a liability incurred as a result of appointment or nomination by the Company or subsidiary as trustee or as an officer of 
another corporation, unless the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith.  The Company has entered into Deeds 
of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each of the Directors of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in terms of the 
indemnity provided under the Company’s Constitution.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or 
agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against any liability incurred in acting in 
their capacity as such an officer of the Company.

No indemnity payment has been made under any of the documents referred to above during or since the end of the financial year.

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, outlines the remuneration of the Company’s key management 
personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. 

The Company’s ‘key management personnel’ are those persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, either directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) 
of the consolidated entity.

The prescribed details for each person covered by this Remuneration Report are detailed below under the following headings:

•  Key Management Personnel;

•  Remuneration Policy;

•  Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company Performance;

•  Remuneration of Key Management Personnel; and

•  Key Terms of Employment Contracts.

Key Management Personnel

The Directors and other key management personnel of the consolidated entity during and since the end of the financial year were:

No proceedings have been brought on behalf of the Company, nor has any application been made in respect of the Company, 
under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Executive Director

Mr J Weber (Managing Director)

Non-Audit Services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the external auditor for non-audit services provided during the year are outlined in note 5.5 
to the Financial Statements.

During the year, the Company paid Deloitte the sum of $300,497 for the provision of non-audit services (being extensive debt 
restructuring advice) and the sum of $600,258 for the provision of audit services. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of 
non-audit services during the year by the external auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 5.5 to the Financial Statements do not compromise the 
external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit and Risk Committee, for the following reasons:

•  All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 

auditor; and

•  None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants’ issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the 
Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration is included on page 45 of this Annual Report.

Rounding Off of Amounts

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and the 
Financial Statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

2018 Financial ReportOverviewOperating & Financial ReviewGovernanceRemuneration Policy

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is delegated responsibility by the Board for reviewing the remuneration packages 
of all Directors and key management personnel on an annual basis and making recommendations to the Board in this regard. The 
specific responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are set out in the Committee’s Charter, which can be found 
on the Corporate Governance page of our website at www.mmaoffshore.com/investor-centre/corporate-governance.

Remuneration packages are typically reviewed and determined with due regard to current market rates and are benchmarked 
against comparable industry salaries and are adjusted to reflect changes in the performance of the Company.

Given current financial constraints, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee carried out an internal review of the remuneration 
packages of the Managing Director and non-director key management personnel for the 2018 financial year, without engaging the 
services of an independent remuneration consultant. The Board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations made by the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee were free from undue influence by any member of the key management personnel to 
whom the recommendations relate.

Key Remuneration Outcomes

Having regard to the overall performance of the Company during the 2018 financial year and current market conditions, the key 
remuneration outcomes for the Company’s key management personnel in 2018 were as follows:

Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR)

•  The Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer (former) and Chief Operating Officer accepted a 10% decrease in FAR for the 

2018 financial year. 

•  The other Senior Management of the Company did not receive any increase in FAR for the 2018 financial year.

Short-term Incentive (STI)

•  The Board exercised its discretion to suspend the STI component in relation to the Managing Director and other key 

management personnel for the 2018 financial year.

Long-term Incentive (LTI)

•  The Board exercised its discretion to suspend the LTI component in relation to the Managing Director and other key 

management personnel for the 2018 financial year.

Remuneration Report 2017

MMA Offshore Limited’s Remuneration Report for the 2017 financial year was adopted at the Annual General Meeting on 19 
December 2017 with a clear majority of 396,521,717 votes in favour of the motion (representing 77% of the votes received).

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool which is periodically recommended for 
approval by shareholders. The maximum fees payable to Non-Executive Directors are currently $950,000 per annum in aggregate 
(as approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 22 November 2012).

Non-Executive Directors are paid fixed fees for their services in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. Fees paid to Non-
Executive Directors are set at levels which reflect both the responsibilities of, and time commitments required from each Non-
Executive Director to discharge their duties. Non-Executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board to ensure they are 
appropriate for the duties performed, including Board committee duties, and are in line with the market. Non-Executive Directors 
do not receive performance-based remuneration. Other than statutory superannuation, Directors are not entitled to retirement 
allowances.

For the 2018 financial year, there was a general 10% decrease in Non-Executive Directors’ fees, with the Chairman agreeing to a 
27% decrease in fees for the 2018 financial year.

In addition, following a review by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, there has been no increase in Non-Executive 
Directors’ fees for the 2019 financial year. 

Other Key Management Personnel

Remuneration of the Managing Director and other executive key management personnel generally comprises both a fixed 
component and an incentive or “at-risk” component, which is designed to remunerate key management personnel for increasing 
shareholder value and for achieving financial targets and business strategies set by the Board.

The remuneration of the Managing Director and other key management personnel has the following three components:

No.

1

Remuneration Component

Details

Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR)

•  Comprising base salary and superannuation.

•  In setting FAR, consideration is given to current market rates and 
industry benchmarking against appropriate comparator groups 
(including the median market rates within the sector and industry peers), 
Company performance and individual performance.

•  As previously reported, the Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer 
(former) and Chief Operating Officer accepted a 10% decrease in 
FAR for the 2018 financial year. The other Senior Management of the 
Company did not receive any increase in FAR for the 2018 financial 
year.

•  Given the performance of the Company and current market conditions, 

the Board has determined that for the 2019 financial year:

(a)  The Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer (current) and Chief 

Operating Officer will not receive any increase in FAR; and

(b) The other key management personnel will receive a general 

increase in FAR of 2.9% - with some additional realignment for 
those key management personnel whose roles changed.

2

Short-term Incentive (STI)

•  An annual “at-risk” cash component designed to reward performance 

against the achievement of key performance indicators (KPIs) set by the 
Board.

•  The invitation to participate in the STI is at the absolute discretion of the 
Board and is subject to such conditions which the Board may prescribe 
from time to time.

•  As previously reported, given the performance of the Company and 

current market conditions, the Board exercised its discretion to suspend 
the STI component for the 2018 financial year.

•  Once again, the Board has exercised its discretion to suspend the STI 
component for the 2019 financial year (subject always to the Board’s 
discretion to reinstate the STI component if the Company’s performance 
or market conditions change). 

3

Long-term Incentive (LTI)

•  The Company grants rights over its ordinary shares under the LTI.

•  The vesting of these rights is based on the achievement of stipulated 

performance criteria targets over a 3 year period.

•  The LTI also aims to align executives’ long-term interests with those of 

shareholders and to retain executives.

•  Given the performance of the Company and current market conditions, 
the Board exercised its discretion to suspend the LTI component for the 
2018 financial year.

•  The Board has exercised its discretion to reinstate the LTI component 

for the 2019 financial year. The Board is currently developing a new LTI 
plan. It is anticipated that the new LTI Plan – which will have a 3 year 
performance period (expiring 1 July 2021) – will include performance 
hurdles relating to Relative TSR (50% weighting), Net Debt to EBITDA 
ratio (25% weighting) and Debt Refinancing (25% weighting) targets. 
The new LTI Plan for the Managing Director will be presented for 
shareholder approval at the Company’s 2018 AGM. The Board 
considers that the reinstatement of the LTI Plan and the selection of 
these performance hurdles is appropriate in the current circumstances 
to achieve its business turnaround strategy, to retain key management 
personnel within the Company and to achieve the strategic objectives of 
the Company.

2018 Financial ReportOverviewOperating & Financial ReviewGovernanceAllocation of Executive Remuneration between Fixed and Variable Remuneration

Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

The allocation of total executive remuneration between fixed and variable remuneration for the 2018 financial year is as follows:

Managing Director

Other  Executives (Maximum)

2%

2%

98%

98%

In this Annual Report, remuneration outcomes are presented based on the requirements of accounting standards (which has 
the benefit of being readily comparable with other companies) rather than the actual “take-home” pay received by executive key 
management personnel (being cash, other benefits and the value of equity vesting during the relevant financial year).

An example of this includes LTI awards which are recognised and accounted for over the performance period (3 years) based 
on their assessed value when originally granted to the executive. This may be significantly different to their value, if and when the 
incentive vests to that executive.

The following tables disclose:

(A)  The actual remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel of the Company for the 2018 financial year (i.e. 

the actual “take-home” pay received by key management personnel for the 2018 financial year); and

(B)  The statutory presentation of the remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel of the Company for the 

2018 financial year and for the previous financial year based on the requirements of accounting standards.

Director (for other executives), and subsequently provide details of the dealing within five business days of the dealing taking place. 
Any breach of the Share Trading Policy is taken very seriously by the Company and is subject to disciplinary action, including 
possible termination of a person’s employment or appointment. A copy of the Company’s Share Trading Policy can be found on the 
Corporate Governance page of our website at www.mmaoffshore.com/investor-centre/corporate-governance.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2018

1.  General Notes

MMA Offshore Limited (MMA or the Company) is a listed public company incorporated in Australia. Its shares are traded on 
the Australian Securities Exchange.   

1.1  Statement of Compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AASB’s) and other authoritative pronouncements of 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in previous reporting periods.  

The Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on [20] September 2018.

1.2  Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain assets which have been 
impaired and financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values 
of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Transactions in foreign currencies are 
recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign 
currencies at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences are 
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for certain hedging transactions as described in note 
4.2. 

For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with this Corporations Instrument, amounts in the 
financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 

1.3  Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company 
(its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company: 

•  has power over the investee;

• 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income from the 
date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into 
line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members 
of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The above Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

1.5  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be 
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

The following critical judgement has been made by the Directors in the process of applying the Group’s accounting 
policies.

Allowance for doubtful debts – refer note 3.2

Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end 
of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next financial year.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment – refer note 3.5

Impairment of property, plant and equipment – refer note 3.6

1.4  New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and amended AASBs that are mandatorily effective for an 
accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2017: 

AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian  
Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: 
Amendments to AASB 107 

The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that 
enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in 
liabilities arising from financing activities, including both cash and 
non-cash changes.  

In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period. As a result 
of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and 
Interpretations on the Company, and therefore, no material change is necessary to the Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of the Financial Statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below relevant to the 
Group’s operations, were issued but not yet effective:

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective from 1 July 2018)

AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with 
customers. The core principal of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised as the promised goods or services are provided 
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or 
services. The standard introduces a five-step process for applying this principle which includes guidance in respect 
of identifying the performance obligations under the contract, allocation of the revenue across those performance 
obligations and recognising the revenue as those performance obligations are satisfied.

The Group plans to adopt the new standard from 1 July 2018 using the modified transitional approach where any 
adjustment on initial recognition is recognised in retained earnings at 1 July 2018 without adjustment to comparatives. It 
will only be applied to contracts that remain in place at that date.

The Group’s revenue is mainly derived from the time charter of vessels. The supply of each vessel is considered to 
be a single performance obligation provided over time for a contracted day rate. Apart from providing more extensive 
disclosures on the Group’s revenue transactions the application of AASB 15 will not have an impact on the financial 
position or financial performance of the Group.         

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 July 2018)

In relation to the impairment of financial assets, AASB 9 requires an expected credit loss model as opposed to an 
incurred credit loss model under AASB 139. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected 
credit losses and changes in expected losses to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. It is no longer 
necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

In general, the directors anticipate that the application of the expected credit loss model will result in earlier recognition 
of any credit losses. However, given the credit risk management approach on our current customers and receivables we 
do not anticipate this having a significant impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group.                 

AASB 16 Leases (effective from 1 July 2019)

AASB 16 introduces a new model for the accounting for lessees which will require the recognition of assets and 
liabilities for all leases. The standard removes the current distinction of between operating and finance leases and is 
replaced by a model where a right of use asset and a corresponding liability are recognised for all leases except for 
short term leases and leases of low value assets. The right of use asset will be depreciated over the lease term and the 
lease liability will be adjusted for lease payments and interest charged. The impact on the financial performance of the 
company will be to reduce administration expenses with a related increase in finance costs.

A preliminary assessment of the Group’s leases at 30 June 2018 has indicated that some existing non cancellable 
operating leases, for example office leases, would qualify as leases under the new standard resulting in recognition of 
right of use assets and corresponding liabilities. Due to the potential changing nature of these agreements we have not 
yet quantified the potential impact of applying the new standard.

Financial Performance

2.1  Segment Information

An operating segment is a component of a group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue 
and incur expenses and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (The 
Board of Directors) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. For the current 
reporting period the Group had one reportable segment in continuing operations being its Vessel operations. 

The Group’s previously reportable Supply Base and Slipway segments were sold during the prior reporting period and 
were classified as discontinued operations (see note 2.3). 

Information regarding the Vessel operating segment is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable 
segment are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Segment revenues and results

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment:

Segment profit/(loss) represents the profit/(loss) earned by the Vessel segment without allocation of investment revenue, 
other gains and losses, administration costs, finance costs and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the 
chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The 
stage of completion of the contract is determined progressively at contractual rates as service hours are delivered and 
direct expenses incurred.

The tax rate used for the 2018 and 2017 reconciliations above is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian 
corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law.

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income because of items of income or expense that 
are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current 
tax is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.5  Earnings per Share 

The earnings used in the calculation of basic earnings per share are as follows:

Loss for the year used in the calculation of basic earnings per share from 
continuing operations  

Loss from discontinued operations

The average credit period on rendering of services is 30 days. An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable 
trade receivable amounts arising from the past rendering of services.

Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, $13.8 million (2017: $16.1 million) is outstanding from the 
Group’s largest debtor and $7.4 million (2017: $6.8 million) from the Group’s second largest debtor.

Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts (see below for aged analysis) that are past due at the end of the 
reporting period but against which the Group has not recognised an allowance for doubtful receivables because there 
has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.

The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account 
when collection is considered at risk. When a trade receivable is subsequently considered uncollectible, it is written 
off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the 
allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the 
trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. In making their judgement on the 
appropriateness of the allowance for doubtful debts they have considered the outcomes of regular meetings with 
customers, ongoing contractual arrangements and regularity of receipts from the customers. Accordingly, the Directors 
believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are 
considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after 
the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling 
price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

3.4  Assets Classified as Held for Sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale 
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the 
lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial write-down 
of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. Information regarding the assets held for sale in the Statement of Financial 
Position is presented below.

At 31 December 2016, the Group resolved to dispose of a number of non-core vessels within the fleet. 

At 30 June 2018, the carrying value of the vessels not yet sold was $9.4 million (2017: $35.9million).

Leasehold buildings and improvements, vessels, plant and equipment and equipment under finance lease are stated at 
cost less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly 
attributed to the acquisition of the item.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful 
lives. Leasehold buildings and improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, 
whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.

Assets and Liabilities (continued)

3.5  Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the 
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting 
period. The following rates are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Leasehold buildings and improvements 
Vessels 
Vessel refits 
Plant and equipment 

2% - 39% straight-line
4% - 8.33% straight-line
20% - 40% straight-line
5% - 100% straight-line

Key source of estimation uncertainty

The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting 
period. At the end of this reporting period, the Directors have determined that there was no adjustment required to the 
Group’s property, plant and equipment’s useful lives.

3.6 

Impairment of non-current assets

The Group performs a review of non-current asset values at each reporting period and whenever events occur or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may be impaired. Market conditions are 
monitored for indications of impairment for all of the Group’s operating assets and where such indications are identified, 
a formal impairment assessment is performed.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately.

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

Key source of estimation uncertainty

Determining whether assets are impaired requires an estimate of the recoverable value of the assets. In order to 
determine the recoverable value of the assets in the current year, a Fair Value less Cost of Disposal (FVLCOD) approach 
was used (2017: FVLCOD approach). The FVLCOD method requires an estimate of the current market value of the 
assets and the costs that would be associated with a disposal of the assets. In estimating the current market value of 
the assets, the Group engaged experienced and qualified valuers to perform valuations. 

The Group performs its impairment testing annually on 30 June each year. In addition, market conditions are monitored 
for indications of impairment for all of the Group’s operating assets. Where an indication of impairment is identified, a 
formal impairment assessment is performed. We note an assessment of impairment was performed at 31 December 
2017, resulting in an impairment reversal of $8.4 million.

The Group has identified the following indicators of impairment at 30 June 2018:

• 

the carrying amount of the net assets of the Group is greater than the Company’s market capitalisation; and 

•  market conditions in both Australia and internationally have continued to be challenging as the impact of lower oil 

prices is felt across the offshore support industry.

As a result, the Group assessed the recoverable amounts of the Vessels Cash-Generating Unit (‘CGU’).

The Supply Base and Slipway CGU’s were classified as Held for Sale as at 31 December 2016 resulting in the 
recognition of an impairment at that date as disclosed below. These assets were subsequently disposed of on 15 June 
2017.     

3.6 

Impairment of non-current assets (continued)

Impairment testing

The Group has evaluated whether the recoverable amount of each CGU exceeds its carrying amount. The recoverable 
amount is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCOD”) or its value in use. In all 

instances, the FVLCOD method was used for the purpose of impairment testing on 30 June 2018.

The impairment reversal/(charge) recognised for Vessels is reflected as part of the Group’s continuing operations (note 
2.2) while the impairment charge for Supply Base and Slipway CGUs are reflected in discontinued operations (note 2.3).         

The inputs used in deriving the recoverable amount of each CGU is categorised in accordance within the following 
levels of the fair value hierarchy:

(i) 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. In our calculations the inputs used are based 
on both observable and unobservable market data prepared by an independent valuation consultant together with 
internally determined valuations. Due to the unobservable market data and internal valuation components of the 
valuations, the inputs are considered Level 3.

Vessels

The oil and gas sector has been through one of its worst periods in history over the past three and a half years. 
However, sector sentiment has improved significantly around a recovery in oil and gas markets with key industry 
commentators indicating that the market may have bottomed. We expect the recovery to be volatile and the timing is still 
uncertain. The oil markets are rebalancing and demand remains strong whilst supply is tighter as a result of production 
cuts. Sentiment around the offshore support vessel markets has become more positive with increasing tendering activity 
in a number of regions and work scopes. In addition, a proportion of the global cold stacked vessels are not expected 
to return to service eliminating some of the supply overhang.

As disclosed in note 3.4, a group of non-core vessels in the fleet were classified as being held for sale as at 31 
December 2016. This classification has resulted in two separate fair value assessments for the fleet, being those core 
vessels used for continuing operations and those non-core vessels that are held for sale.

3. 

Assets and Liabilities (continued) 

3.6 

Impairment of non-current assets (continued) 

Continuing Operations

The recoverable amount of the core vessels was determined using a market based approach, reflecting the value which 
could be expected to be realised through the disposal of the vessels, in an orderly market, on an “as is where is” basis 
between a willing buyer and willing seller.

An independent valuation of the fleet was undertaken by a specialist marine valuation consultancy and shipbroking 
company. In preparing their valuation report, some of the factors they considered include the current market conditions 
in which the vessels operate, a review of recent market sales of similar vessels, consideration of the specification and 
earnings potential of each vessel and the inherent value and replacement cost of each vessel. 

A key input into the recoverable amount of the CGU was the application of a discount to the independent vessel 
valuation to reflect the amount which would be achieved if the fleet was disposed of in one single transaction. In the 
June 2017 impairment assessment, the company used a discount of 20%. Given the stabilisation of the market, where 
we are in the cycle and taking into account the independent valuers assessment of the fleet, the Board have applied a 
discount of 17.5% to the value for the fleet which reflects recoverable value.

The following factors were taken into account in determining this value:

•  The stable rising trend in oil prices during the 2018 financial year

•  An increase in project and development commitments by the oil and gas majors

• 

• 

Increasing tender opportunities in the market

Increasing activity in the vessel sales market

•  Acknowledging the increased activity in the industry is still at an early stage in the market cycle and there is 

uncertainty about the extent and timing of recovery

•  Acknowledging the impact of the significant vessel tonnage in the industry 

A 2.5% increase or decrease in the ‘en bloc discount rate would result in a corresponding $15 million increase or 
decrease in the impairment reversal or charge.

Another key input was the estimated costs of disposal. The Company has adopted a selling cost equal to 2% of the sale 
value of each vessel based on actual selling costs of between 1.5% and 2.5% for previous vessel sales.

Inputs in determining the classification level within the fair value hierarchy are reassessed at each reporting period as 
part of the impairment process. The inputs used within calculations are assessed and discussed internally to determine 
the extent to which they can be compared to observable market information and classified accordingly.   

Held for Sale

The recoverable amount of the non-core vessels was determined using a market based approach, reflecting the value 
which could be expected to be realised through an accelerated sale program.

In assessing the fair value of these non-core vessels the Company has taken into consideration the following factors:

•  actual sales of the non-core vessels that have been completed to date 

•  current sale contracts and negotiations on the remaining non-core vessels

•  market sales evidence for similar vessels over the past 6 months

The price that would be expected to be received in these circumstances for these non-core vessels would be less than 
if sold in an orderly transaction with no time restrictions to complete the sale. 

A 5% increase or decrease of expected sale proceeds would result in corresponding $0.5 million decrease or increase 
in the fair value for these non-core vessels.

The hire purchase liabilities are fixed interest rate debt with repayment periods not exceeding 3 years. The current 
weighted average interest rate on the hire purchase liabilities is 2.9% (2017: 2.9%).

In conjunction with the capital raising that occurred during this reporting period, the Group was able to renegotiate 
the terms of its Syndicated Debt Facility with its existing lenders. The key amendments to the Facility included:

•  Extending the term for a further 2 years from maturity on 30 September 2019 to 30 September 2021

•  Reducing the interest rate

•  Agreeing certain amendments and holidays to specified covenants

•  Cash sweep of excess cash above $70.0 million from 30 June 2020, 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021

•  Agreeing to a revised amortisation profile

The revised amortisation profile includes:

•  A payment of $30.0 million by 31 December 2017 which was linked with the capital raising and was paid

•  $5.0 million by 30 June 2020

•  $7.5 million by 31 December 2020

•  $7.5 million by 30 June 2021

•  The balance is to be repaid on maturity at 30 September 2021

In addition, proceeds from the sale of non-core vessels will continue to be applied against the outstanding 
amount with $30.0 million to be repaid by 31 December 2018. Any shortfall is to be funded from the Group’s cash 
reserves. This obligation has now been met as a result of the successful completion of vessel sales, with $26.0 
million repaid prior to 30 June 2018 and a further $5.1 million repaid in July 2018. 

The facility is fully secured by fixed and floating charges given by controlled entities within the Group, registered 
ship mortgages over a number of vessels owned by certain entities and real property mortgages.

The current weighted average interest rate on the bank loans is 6.08% (2017: 7.6%).

(iii) 

The unamortised loan fees are in relation to the Syndicated Facility Agreement.

Other financial liabilities including borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with 
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective 
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the 
financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

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

885

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long 
service leave in the period the related service is performed.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the 
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

3.9  Provisions (continued)

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

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it 
is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of 
the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation 
at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is 
measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of 
those cash flows.

A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for restructuring and has 
raised a valid expectation with those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or 
announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the 
direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the 
restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.

4. 

Capital Structure

4.1 

Issued Capital

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are 
generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be 
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period(s) in which the 
liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that 
would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount 
of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends 
to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. 

Unrecognised deferred tax assets

Deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits for 
which no deferred tax assets have been recognised are attributable to the following:

Tax losses (revenue in nature)

Tax losses (capital in nature)

Deductible temporary differences

64,603

19,320

5,668

39,371

19,313

10,116

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement 
with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, MMA Offshore Ltd and each of the entities in the 
tax-consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current 
tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other 
entities in the tax-consolidated group.

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination 
of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment 
obligations or if any entity should leave the tax consolidated group. The effect of the tax sharing agreement is that each 
member’s liability for tax payable by the tax consolidated group is limited to the amount payable to the head entity under 
the tax funding arrangement.

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.

Share Rights

As at 30 June 2018, executives and employees held rights over 9,555,660 ordinary shares (2017: 10,923,881) in 
aggregate (see note 5.2). All remaining share rights lapsed in July 2018.

Share rights granted under the employee share rights plans carry no right to dividends and no voting rights. 

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

The employee equity settled benefits reserve arises on the grant of share rights to executives and employees under the 
Company’s share rights plans. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the rights vest or 
expire.

The hedging reserve is used to record gains and losses on hedges designated as cash flow hedges including hedges 
of net investments in a foreign operation. Gains and losses accumulated in the hedge reserve are taken to the profit 
or loss when the hedged transaction impacts the profit or loss, or is included as an adjustment to the initial carrying 
amount of the hedged item. For a net investment in a foreign operation any gains and losses are taken to profit and loss 
on disposal of the foreign operation.

The foreign currency translation reserve represents exchange differences relating to the translation from the functional 
currencies of the Group’s foreign controlled entities into Australian Dollars.

The assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian Dollars using exchange rates 
prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange 
rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised through other comprehensive income and 
recognised in equity. 

On the disposal of the foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation), all of the 
accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss.

Capital Structure (continued)

4.3  Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns, while 
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall 
strategy remains unchanged from 2017.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in note 3.8 offset by cash at bank 
balances) and equity of the Group (comprising issued capital and reserves as detailed in notes 4.1 and 4.2 and 
accumulated losses).

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than normal banking requirements.

Based on recommendations of management and the Board, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through 
new share issues as well as the establishment of new borrowing facilities or repayment of existing facilities. The Group 
uses its gearing ratio (measured as net debt to equity) to manage its capital. The ratio is monitored on a monthly basis 
by the Board and management. 

Gearing Ratio

The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

Debt(i)

Cash and cash equivalents

Net debt

Equity(ii)

Gearing ratio

(i) 
(ii) 

Debt is defined as long and short-term borrowings, as detailed in note 3.8.
Equity includes all capital and reserves of the Group that are managed as capital.

Finance leases relate to various equipment with lease terms of up to 5 years. The Group has options to purchase the 
equipment for a nominated amount at the conclusion of the lease agreements.

Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of 
the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is 
included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs and reduction of the lease obligations so as to achieve a 
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance costs are recognised immediately in profit or 
loss.

with an option to extend for a further 5-year term. The Group also has a 2-year lease agreement in place for the 
Singapore office expiring on 31 January 2020. 

(ii)   Onshore facility rental commitments:  

The Group has a rental commitment for the lease of the Singapore Onshore Facility for a term expiring on 15 April 
2021. 

(iii)   Vessel charter commitments: 

As of 30 June 2018, the Company had three vessels (2017: Nil) under bare boat charter agreement. Vessel 
charter commitments represent charter fee payments to be made to the owners of these vessels.

(iv)   Other lease commitments: 

The Group has leases over a number of residential properties and various items of machinery and equipment. 
These leases are all on commercial terms for periods up to 5 years.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where 
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset 
are consumed.

5.  Other Notes (continued)

5.2  Share Based Payments

Share rights incentive plans

The Group has established ownership based compensation plans whereby executives and employees of the Group 
have been issued rights over ordinary shares of MMA Offshore Limited.

Upon exercise, each share right, converts into one ordinary share of MMA Offshore Limited. No amounts are paid or 
are payable by the recipient on receipt of the rights. The rights carry no entitlement to dividends and no voting rights. 
Holders of rights do not have the entitlement, by virtue of the right, to participate in any share issue of the Company. The 
rights may be exercised at any time from their vesting date to the date of their expiry. The rights are not quoted on the 
ASX.

The following share based payment arrangements were in existence during the current reporting period:

None of the Performance Criteria for rights issued during the 2015 financial year as part of Series 1, 2 and 3 were met. 
As such, all the rights have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Plan rules. 

Performance Rights issued during the 2016 financial year as part of Series 4, 5 and 6 to executives and employees are 
subject to achievement of a number of vesting targets. 50% of the rights are subject to achieving a share price target 
and the remaining 50% are subject to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return percentile ranking relative to a selected 
Peer Group over the 3-year vesting period. At 30 June 2018 none of the performance criteria for these rights had been 
met and they will lapse in accordance with the terms of the Plan rules.

Please refer to the Remuneration Report on pages 35 to 44 for further details of Performance Rights issued to 
executives and employees.

Fair value of share rights granted during the year

There were no share rights granted during the year.

Equity settled share based payments to employees are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight-line 
basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a 
corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of 
equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit 
or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with corresponding adjustment to the employee 
equity settled benefits reserve.

Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s treasury function includes the management of the Group’s financial assets and commitments including 
ensuring adequate procedures and controls are in place to manage financial risks. These risks include market risk 
(including currency and interest rate risk) credit risk and liquidity risk.

A Treasury Policy has been approved by the Board and provides guidelines for conducting treasury activities. 
Compliance with this Policy is monitored through internal audit procedures and subsequent reporting to the Audit and 
Risk Committee.

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks, by using, where considered appropriate, derivative financial 
instruments to hedge these risk exposures. The allowable financial derivatives and conditions for their use are 
documented in the Treasury Policy. 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 of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and 
interest rates. Where required, the Group can enter into a range of derivative financial instruments to manage its 
exposure to these risks.

At a Group level, these market risks are managed through sensitivity analysis. There is no change in the manner in 
which these risks are managed and measured in the current year.

Foreign currency risk management 

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, exposures to exchange rate 
fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign 
exchange contracts, when it is considered appropriate. 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end 
of the financial year are as follows:

US Dollars

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to US Dollars (USD), Singapore Dollars (SGD) and Euro (EUR).

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian Dollar against the 
relevant foreign currencies. The 10% sensitivity represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible 
change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated 
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive 
number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the Australian dollar strengthens 10% against the relevant 
currency. For a 10% weakening of the Australian Dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and 
opposite impact on the profit or equity.

The current and comparative year USD impact relates to the translation from the functional currencies of the 
Group’s foreign entities into Australian Dollars.

The Group’s profit and loss sensitivity to foreign currency has decreased at the end of the current period due to lower 
net USD denominated assets.

Interest rate risk management

5.  Other Notes (continued)

5.8  Financial Instruments (continued)

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds primarily at floating interest rates. The risk is 
managed by the Group by the use of interest rate swap contracts when considered appropriate. Hedging activities are 
evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied, if 
required.

The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk 
management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting 
period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of 
the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting 
interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably 
possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, 
the impact on the net profit of the Group would be as follows:

•  Net profit would decrease / increase by $2,690,012 (2017: decrease / increase by $3,242,085). This is attributable to 

the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable borrowings.

The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current year due to the decrease in the carrying value 
of the variable rate debt instruments as a result of the principal repayments made during the year.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the Group. The Group has a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties. The Group’s exposures to its 
counterparties are continuously monitored by management. Where appropriate, the Group obtains guarantees from 
customers. Cash terms, advance payments or letters of credit are required from customers of lower credit standing.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers spread across the offshore oil and gas exploration, 
development and production industries and across diverse geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed 
on the financial condition of trade receivables.

Apart from the largest, second and third largest trade receivables (refer note 3.2), the Group does not have any 
significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. 
The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. The credit risk on the three 
largest receivables is managed through regular meetings with the customers, on-going contractual arrangements and 
regular receipts for the balances outstanding.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with 
high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recognised in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk management

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and borrowing facilities, continuously 
monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and managing credit terms with customers and suppliers.

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with 
agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities 
based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal 
cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from current interest 
rates at the end of the reporting period.

liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

•  The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in 

accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

5.9  Events After the Reporting Period

There has not been any matter or circumstance that occurred subsequent to the end of the financial year that
