CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT

FY2021 was dominated by the global coronavirus 
pandemic which severely impacted our business 
both operationally and financially.

Notwithstanding the challenges presented by COVID-19, I am 
pleased to report that MMA achieved a number of significant 
milestones during the past financial year.

Earnings were in line with market guidance with the Company 
reporting Earnings before Interest Tax and Depreciation 
(“EBITDA”) of $45.9 million for the year. Reported EBITDA 
included the impact of several one-off items including a $14.8 
million debt forgiveness benefit (note 2.2), provision for legal 
settlement costs of $6.4 million (note 3.11), doubtful debts 
recovered of $1.3 million (note 3.2) and acquisition and debt 
restructuring costs totalling $0.7 million (note 2.2). 

Importantly, the Company remained cash positive and closed 
the financial year with cash at bank of $96.2 million.

In November 2020, we successfully restructured our 
balance sheet through an $80 million equity raising and debt 
restructuring. As part of the debt restructuring MMA received 
a $14.8 million debt concession from certain members of its 
Banking Syndicate, with the total debt reduction amounting 
to $91.9 million and the term of the facilities extended out to 
January 2025. In addition, the syndicate reduced from seven 
to four banks. The balance sheet restructure was a significant 
milestone for the Company, bringing our leverage metrics 
within a more appropriate range and enabling the business to 
focus on delivering its growth strategy. Following the raising, 
a 10 for 1 share consolidation was undertaken to reduce the 
number of shares on issue and provide a more appropriate 
capital structure for the Company going forward.

Whilst we are diversifying our earnings base to more 
sustainable sectors such as offshore wind and government 
services, at present we remain highly leveraged to oil and gas 
activity which was significantly impacted by the pandemic. 
Several projects were cancelled or deferred, reducing 
demand for our vessels and services in that market.

MMA ACHIEVED A 
NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT 
MILESTONES DURING 
THE YEAR

FY2021 saw a number of changes to the 
Board of Directors as part of our Board 
renewal program. We farewelled two 
of our long-standing Directors, Andrew 
Edwards and Eve Howell, who retired 
from the Board during the year. Andrew 
served on the Board for 11 years, three 
as Chairman and Eve served on the 
Board for nine years including three as 
Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. I 
would like to pay tribute to both Andrew 
and Eve for their significant contribution to 
the Company during this time. I am also 
pleased to welcome two new directors, 
Sue Murphy and Sally Langer, both 
outstanding appointments to the Board 
and I very much look forward to their 
contribution and stewardship as we steer 
the Company through the next phase of 
our development. 

I would like to conclude by thanking the 
senior leadership and staff of MMA for 
their perseverance and dedication to the 
business in these challenging times. I 
have been extremely impressed by how 
our people have risen to the challenges 
and increased operational complexity 
presented by the pandemic and I thank 
each of them sincerely for their efforts. 

Whilst we are operating in uncertain and 
rapidly changing times, I am confident in 
our growth strategy to deliver improved 
returns for you our shareholders.

Ian Macliver 
Chairman

Whilst our operations have continued 
successfully throughout the majority of 
the pandemic, the recent Delta variant 
has significantly increased the challenge. 
Border restrictions and quarantine 
requirements have intensified, making 
vessel and personnel movements 
far more difficult and costly and we 
are beginning to see this impact the 
timing of work scopes. The increased 
transmissibility of the Delta strain is also 
increasing the risk of our personnel being 
infected in transit, which despite the most 
robust testing protocols, can result in an 
entire vessel being shut down and placed 
in quarantine. 

The pandemic has also elevated the 
global focus on climate change and social 
issues and has significantly accelerated 
the pace of the energy transition. Whilst 
MMA has always had a strong focus on 
environmental, social and governance 
issues, during the year we formalised 
this at Board level expanding the remit of 
the Audit and Risk Committee to include 
sustainability issues. Our current focus is 
on establishing systems and processes 
to enable us to report in line with the 
relevant voluntary frameworks and we 
have included comprehensive detail on 
our ESG activities in the Sustainability 
section of this Annual Report. 

The health and wellbeing of our people 
has been a key priority during the 
pandemic, and we have been particularly 
conscious of mental health issues at this 
time. During the year we launched a new 
Employee Assistance Program which 
provides 24/7 access to counselling 
services for our staff both onshore and 
onboard our vessels as well as a range of 
other support services. We also signed 
up to the Neptune Declaration to improve 
the welfare of seafarers globally during the 
pandemic. 

Macro conditions for oil and gas improved 
during the second half of the financial 
year with the Brent oil price recovering 
79% over the course of the year and 
remaining above US$60 per barrel since 
February 2021. This has brought a level 
of confidence back into the market and 
we have recently seen activity start to 
increase including a number of major 
LNG projects recently sanctioned for 
development. Final investment decisions 
on other key projects are also expected in 
the short term. 

Offshore wind activity has been buoyant 
with construction of a number of offshore 
wind farms in Taiwan driving activity for 
MMA. We have seen significant growth in 
that aspect of our business over the past 
12 months with the sector representing 
16% of our total revenue for FY2021. 
The longer-term outlook for offshore wind 
is extremely positive, with significant 
new capacity to be installed in the Asia 
Pacific region over the coming years. 
A key part of our strategy is around 
positioning ourselves to capitalise on 
growth in that market. We recently signed 
a memorandum of understanding with 
Worley to jointly provide services to the 
offshore wind sector in South East Asia 
and we have established a local operating 
structure and agreed a joint venture in 
Taiwan to facilitate growth. 

We also made good progress in the 
government and defence sector 
predominantly through our participation 
in the HydroScheme Industry Partnership 
Program, where we have been contracted 
to undertake hydrographic surveys for 
the Australian Department of Defence, as 
part of an extensive program of nautical 
charting surveys in Australian waters.

We continue to see the benefits of having 
acquired the subsea business with our 
enhanced service offering proving to be 
valued by clients and resulting in higher 
utilisation on a number of our vessels 
during the year. We will continue to focus 
on maximising the benefits of our broader 
service offering and skill base within the 
business, to drive growth in all market 
sectors.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S
REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

FY2021 operational earnings were in line with 
expectations having regard to the impacts of 
COVID-19 on the business. 

MMA reported Revenue of $237.5 million, down 13% on the 
prior year. Reported EBITDA for FY2021 was $45.9 million 
inclusive of a number of one-off items including a  
$14.8 million debt forgiveness benefit (note 2.2), provision 
for legal settlement costs of $6.4 million (note 3.11), doubtful 
debts recovered of $1.3 million (note 3.2) and acquisition 
and debt restructuring cost totalling $0.7 million (note 2.2). 
Excluding the impact of these one-off items EBITDA was 
$36.9 million, in line with our earnings guidance range. 

Importantly MMA remained cash positive during the year 
generating operating cash flow of $26.9 million. Cash at 
bank as at 30 June 2021 was $96.2 million, providing a 
solid buffer in the current uncertain times.

MMA’s activities were impacted by COVID-19 throughout 
the financial year both in terms of overall demand for our 
assets and services and the increased complexity and costs 
associated with operating assets and moving personnel 
across borders in a global pandemic environment. 

In recent months the COVID-19 challenge has escalated 
significantly with the new highly infectious Delta variant 
impacting our key operating regions. Within Australia, 
interstate border restrictions and increased quarantine 
requirements are increasing the costs associated with 
changing crew on our vessels as well as our ability to source 
personnel for new projects. Internationally, we are seeing 
activity in some regions suspended and delays in project 
timelines due to the inability to get project personnel across 
borders. The new variant has also increased the risk of 
our personnel being exposed to the virus during transit. 
Whilst we have a robust suite of on-boarding and testing 
procedures in place, a positive case can result in an entire 
vessel being shut down and placed into quarantine which 
has a significant impact on our business. 

Market Conditions 

MMA predominantly provides services to the offshore oil and 
gas sector with a growing focus on the offshore wind and 
government and defence sectors. 

Market conditions for the offshore oil and gas sector were 
extremely challenging during the year with the sector being 
one of the worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. During 
the first half of the financial year, we saw oil prices at below 
US$40 per barrel as global demand for oil plummeted. 
Macro conditions improved during the second half with the 
oil price recovering almost 80% and remaining above US$60 
per barrel (Brent) since February 2021. The market for LNG 
held up well with overall demand increasing globally and 
spot prices rising to record highs in 2021. We have seen 
a resumption in activity in recent months with previously 
cancelled projects resuming and a number of major projects 
being sanctioned or moving into FEED. 

Activity remains heavily impacted by the 
pandemic and the ever-changing status 
of border controls and lockdowns. At the 
time of writing this report, some of our 
key Asian markets, for example Malaysia, 
are effectively closed due to the pandemic 
with very limited oil and gas activity in 
what is traditionally our busiest period of 
the year. This is having an ongoing impact 
on our business. 

There have been some early signs of 
rate increases for offshore vessels in 
certain regional markets and segments, 
however average rates are still down on 
pre-pandemic levels and we continue to 
see pressure from oil and gas companies 
to reduce rates on existing contract 
positions.

Activity in the offshore wind market has 
remained buoyant with construction of 
several wind farm projects in Taiwan 
continuing through the pandemic. The 
past 12 months has seen a significantly 
increased focus on climate change with 
the offshore wind industry projected 
to grow exponentially over the coming 
decade. As a vessel intensive industry 
this market is a key focus area of 
MMA’s longer-term growth strategy for 
both the construction and longer-term 
maintenance phases.

Other segments such as government 
and defence and infrastructure have also 
continued throughout the pandemic, 
highlighting the benefits of a more 
diversified revenue base.

Strategy

Our strategy is focused on maximising 
the returns from our core oil and gas 
business whilst further diversifying into 
new markets such as offshore wind, 
government services and infrastructure 
maintenance, transforming our business 
along with the energy transition.

A key strategic focus is to leverage our 
skills and assets across our vessels, 
subsea, project logistics and engineering 
businesses to deliver integrated project 
scopes for our clients across all markets. 
We successfully delivered a number of 
integrated projects in the oil and gas and 
renewables sectors during the year. We 
will continue to develop our integrated 
service model with the aim of further 
embedding our services with our clients. 

Whilst we expect oil and gas will be a 
fundamental part of the energy mix for 
some time, the focus on climate change 
has increased the pace of the transition 
to renewable energy, including offshore 
wind. We see renewables as a key future 
market for MMA with a significant number 
of new offshore wind farms expected to 
be developed in the Asia Pacific region 
over the coming decade. During the year, 
MMA supported a number of offshore 
wind development projects in Taiwan 
utilising our vessels and subsea services 
to deliver a range of work scopes. We 
recently signed a memorandum of 
understanding with Worley to provide 
integrated services to the offshore wind 
market and we have established an 
operating platform in Taiwan to drive our 
growth in this market. 

We are also targeting the government 
and defence sectors as well as select 
infrastructure maintenance contracts to 
further diversify our revenue base. We are 
currently active in delivering hydrographic 
survey services to the Australian Navy 
and we are also engaged on a number 
of infrastructure maintenance contracts 
around Australia. We will continue building 
upon both of these areas as part of our 
strategy.

Underpinning the strategy is the marine 
expertise within our business which 
enables us to deliver innovative solutions 
to our clients to differentiate us from our 
competitors. 

Our innovation program is focused on 
finding better and more sustainable 
ways to deliver marine services. We 
are involved in a number of exciting 
innovation initiatives including the 
printing of 3D parts in collaboration with 
Wilhelmsen and thyssenkrupp as well 
as supporting the PIER71 Smart Port 
Challenge in Singapore, aimed to facilitate 
innovation within the maritime industry. 

Sustainability

Sustainability is integral to our overall 
strategy as an organisation and we are 
committed to growing our business 
whilst achieving sustainability outcomes 
for our people, the environment and 
the community whilst operating with 
strong ethics and governance. Further 
information on our commitment 
to sustainability is included in our 
Sustainability Report which forms part of 
this Annual Report.

Balance Sheet

MMA’s Cash at Bank as at 30 June 2021 
was $96.2 million providing a strong 
buffer against the current economic 
uncertainty due to the ongoing impacts of 
the pandemic. 

During the financial year, MMA achieved 
a significant milestone, completing a 
Balance Sheet restructure in November 
2020. The restructure was completed by 
way of an $80 million equity raising, the 
proceeds of which were used to reduce 
debt. As part of the debt restructure, 
MMA received a $14.8 million debt 
concession resulting in a total debt 
reduction of approximately $91.9 million. 

The restructure has strengthened MMA’s 
Balance Sheet with MMA’s Gross Debt 
reducing to $163.5 million at 30 June 
2021, down from $273.4 million in  
June 2020 and Net Debt (Gross Debt less 
Cash) at $67.3 million down from  
$186.8 million. MMA’s key leverage 
metrics have significantly improved with 
Net Debt / EBITDA as at 30 June 2021 
at 1.8x, down from 3.8x and Net Debt to 
Property Plant and Equipment of 18.5% 
down from 45.0%.

As part of the restructure, MMA’s debt 
facilities were extended to January 2025, 
a significant extension in the current 
environment and the syndicate reduced 
from seven to four banks. 

In February 2021, MMA undertook a 1 
for 10 share consolidation to reduce the 
number of shares on issue and provide 
a more appropriate and effective capital 
structure for the Company going forward. 

Asset Sales

As part of our core business strategy, 
we continually review the composition 
of our fleet and we are currently in the 
process of divesting a number of our 
more commoditised AHTS vessels, where 
the returns are suboptimal and where 
there is limited opportunity to differentiate 
MMA on the basis of our service quality 
and delivery. 

During the year, we completed the sale of 
four vessels for a total of approximately 
A$7.5 million, and are continuing to 
negotiate further sales. Sales values have 
been generally in line with the assets held 
for sale value on the Company’s balance 
sheet. 

We also entered into sub-lease 
agreement for a substantial portion of our 
shipyard facility in Batam, Indonesia and 
granted the lessor an option to purchase 
the yard for a total of US$15.0 million. 
The option to purchase may be exercised 
by the lessor any time up to 12 March 
2024. 

As MMA has ceased shipbuilding, the 
sublease and potential sale of the yard 
is a sensible strategic decision for the 
Company.

Cost Control

Cost control remains an ongoing key 
focus for MMA whilst ensuring we never 
compromise on the quality or safety of 
our operations. 

The pandemic has increased the costs 
and complexity of moving crew and 
assets across international and interstate 
borders whilst complying with rapidly 
changing quarantine requirements. 

Notwithstanding the increased 
complexity, we remain focused on 
closely managing our costs across both 
overhead and direct operating costs.

Direct vessel operating costs are a 
material component of our cost base and 
the ability to flex these costs in line with 
market demand is critical in the current 
environment. We have a well-developed 
system for switching our vessels into a 
warm layup mode between contracts to 
reduce operating costs whilst off-hire. 
This has the benefit of minimising holding 
costs whilst ensuring the vessels remain 
in a well-maintained and operational 
state, which enables them to be quickly 
reactivated as new contracts present.  

We have stripped a significant amount of 
overhead out of the business in recent 
years and continue to seek further 
efficiencies in our existing business whilst 
ensuring we invest in the development of 
our new growth markets.

Operational Update

Vessel Services

Vessel revenue for the year was $165.8 
million, down 27.6% on FY2020 and 
vessel EBITDA was $38.2 million, down 
19.7%.

Average utilisation for the year was 53%, 
down from 64% in FY2020. Utilisation 
for the more specialised vessels was 
stronger, with the AHT, PSV and MPSV 
segments all achieving over 70% 
utilisation for the year. Utilisation of the 
AHTS fleet, which is more commoditised 
and generally operates in the construction 
and exploration sectors was 19% for the 
year, bringing down the overall average. 
A number of the AHTS vessels were laid 
up for most of the year and we continue 
to progress our strategy to largely exit this 
segment. 

As at 30 June 2021, MMA had a total 25 
vessels, having sold four AHTS vessels 
and redelivered one chartered MPSV. 
Of the total fleet, 18 vessels were under 
short and long-term contracts with the 
remaining vessels available for work in the 
spot market. A total of 29% of available 
vessel days for FY2022 were contracted, 
increasing to 43% taking into account 
highly probable contract awards and 
extension periods. This compares to 32% 
and 44% at the same time last year. On 
a revenue basis, 46% of our forecast 
revenue is already under contract for 
FY2022, (69% including highly probable) 
as compared to 61% and 79% at the 
same time last year. 

COVID-19 continues to have a twofold 
impact on the vessel business, both 
in terms of demand and increased 
operational complexity and cost. We 
continue to manage our operations safely 
and effectively in the current environment.

RENEWABLES ARE A KEY FUTURE 
MARKET FOR MMA

During the year, our vessels were active 
on a number of key work scopes:

Long-term Contracts

The MMA Plover and MMA Brewster 
continued on their long-term contracts 
with INPEX supporting the Ichthys LNG 
Project. The MMA Plover recently had 
its contract extended to provide drilling 
rig support for a further two-years with 
additional option periods thereafter.

The Mermaid Strait and Mermaid Cove 
continue to provide offtake support to 
Woodside’s facilities in the North West 
Shelf, with the contracts extended during 
the year through to March 2022. 

The MMA Inscription continues on 
contract with Santos supporting the 
Bayu-Undan Project and was recently 
extended to February 2022. 

The MMA Pinnacle continues on its 
contract with iTech 7, Subsea 7’s Life of 
Field business unit, performing a range of 
work scopes and is currently operating 
in the North Sea. The vessel is on a 
three-year firm contract, which completes 
in December 2021, with a further two 
optional years if required. 

In June 2021, we announced a new 
contract with OMV New Zealand for 
the MMA Vision to provide field support 
duties for the Maari and Maui gas fields 
in the Taranaki Basin. The contract is for 
a period of three years firm, with a further 
two one-year option periods. Expanding 
our operational portfolio into New Zealand 
is a key step for MMA and we will seek 
to expand our footprint within the New 
Zealand region as further opportunities 
arise. 

Walk to Work Services

We continue to differentiate ourselves 
by providing value adding services 
to our clients and have developed a 
specialisation in providing offshore 
accommodation and walk to work 
solutions for offshore construction and 
maintenance operations. During the year 
we had three vessels engaged in walk to 
work services. The MMA Pride supported 
Shell Brunei as a walk to work vessel and 
was awarded a number of service awards 
from the client including “Best Performing 
Vessel” and one of their top three “Best 
Performing Maritime Business Partners” 
during the year. The MMA Pride has since 
relocated to Taiwan for a walk to work 
project supporting wind farm construction 
works. 

The MWV Falcon completed a number of 
accommodation and walk to work scopes 
in India prior to being redelivered to its 
owner early in the second half. 

The MMA Privilege provided 
accommodation and walk to work 
services to support FPSO shutdown 
operations for a long-term client in Côte 
d’Ivoire, to be immediately followed by a 
light construction and walk to work scope 
for Shell Brunei, commencing in the first 
quarter of FY2022. 

We will continue to focus on expanding 
our presence in this niche market. 

Offshore Wind Support

We are focused on growing our offshore 
wind support business and had a number 
of vessels active in the offshore wind 
sector during the year.

The MMA Prestige completed an 
integrated survey scope, the MMA 
Leveque supported a bubble curtain 
noise mitigation scope and the MMA 
Vigilant supported piling installation 
works. 

In March 2021, MMA announced three 
further offshore wind contracts. The 
MMA Pride was contracted to provide 
accommodation and walk to work 
services supporting turbine works for 
offshore wind farm construction, the MMA 
Crystal was contacted to support a pre-
installation noise mitigation survey for the 
Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm project 
and the MMA Responder was contracted 
to support a bubble curtain noise 
mitigation scope for turbine installation 
works on the Changfang and Xidao Wind 
Farm project. The MMA Pride and MMA 
Crystal commenced in early April 2021 
and the MMA Responder in June 2021. 

Decommissioning 

The Mermaid Searcher is currently on 
contract with UPS providing support 
services for the Northern Endeavour 
FPSO which is currently being operated 
and maintained in lighthouse mode for 
the Australian Government pending 
decommissioning. 

With an increased focus on 
decommissioning by governments and 
regulatory authorities expected in the 
coming years, MMA is well placed to 
service and grow its services in this 
market.

Integrated Subsea Work-Scopes

Following the acquisition of our subsea 
business, we continued to grow our 
integrated service offering delivering a 
number of integrated work scopes to 
clients during the year. The MMA Prestige 
completed a six-month work scope 
with MMA’s survey team supporting the 
Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm project in 
Taiwan and the MMA Leeuwin supported 
Esso on an integrated vessel and subsea 
services scope in the Bass Strait. 

Providing integrated services enables 
MMA to capture incremental margin and 
enhance vessel utilisation improving the 
returns on our assets and we continue 
to focus on growing this aspect of our 
business.

Subsea Services

The Subsea business has been 
significantly impacted by COVID-19. 
Revenue for the financial year was 
$70.6 million and EBITDA was $(1.5) 
million. Whilst still in a loss-making 
position, the financial performance for the 
second half was encouraging, with the 
subsea business generating an EBITDA 
improvement of $0.8 million half on half. 

Whilst suppressed activity levels have 
impacted demand for oil and gas related 
subsea services, we were successful 
in securing a number of work scopes 
supporting large Engineering Procurement 
and Construction (EPC) contractors on a 
range of services including stabilisation, 
grouting and survey. We continue to work 
closely with EPC contractors as we look 
to provide support services for larger 
projects and grow the volume of work we 
perform for these clients.

During the year the subsea business 
was active on a number of key projects 
including several rig positioning scopes 
including for Woodside in Senegal, 
an integrated inspection scope with 
the MMA Leeuwin for Esso, a pipeline 
inspection scope for Santos utilising 
hybrid AUV technology and an air diving 
scope for Woodside. 

We have also made good progress on 
our diversification strategy with a number 
of projects delivered for the offshore wind 
sector in Taiwan utilising a combination of 
MMA and third-party vessels.

INNOVATION &
SUSTAINABILITY

Our primary rationale for acquiring 
the subsea business was to broaden 
our service base and enable MMA to 
deliver an integrated offering to clients 
capturing a greater proportion of the value 
chain. With the subsea business now 
embedded into MMA’s overall operations, 
we are seeing traction in this area with 
a number of integrated work scopes 
completed during the year and multiple 
bids submitted. We will continue to grow 
our integrated service offering as well 
as focus on improving the profitability of 
the subsea business through improved 
operational processes.

We are also focused on delivering value 
through innovation and completed our 
first remote survey scope during the 
year. Under the project, MMA provided 
survey and positioning services remotely 
from our centre of excellence in Perth to 
our subsea inspection vessel, the MMA 
Leeuwin, operating in the Bass Strait. 
We were also awarded a key contract to 
bring a state-of-the-art hybrid AUV into 
Australia for the execution of pipeline 
inspection surveys in the second half. 

The UK engineering and fabrication 
businesses was impacted by COVID-19 
during the year with significantly reduced 
activity in the first half. Conditions 
improved through the second half and the 
UK group was successful in securing a 
number of work scopes including a well 
decommissioning scope for OMV New 
Zealand. MMA’s UK-based engineering 
team designed and developed a 
number of custom designed engineered 
connector recovery and wellhead cap 
replacement components to replace the 
existing capping mechanisms currently 
in place on three wells with all equipment 
designed, manufactured and tested at 
MMA’s UK-based facilities.

FOCUSED ON 
DELIVERING 
VALUE THROUGH 
INNOVATION

Responsibility for the renewables 
business currently sits within the subsea 
business unit and significant progress 
has been made on our renewables 
strategy during the year including the 
establishment of a local entity and office 
in Taiwan, recruitment of a local General 
Manager, and agreeing a joint venture 
arrangement with a local Taiwanese 
survey company.

With renewables activity in Taiwan and the 
wider South East Asian region forecast 
to grow significatly, we are focused on 
solidifying our position as a key service 
provider to offshore wind developments in 
the Asia Pacific region. 

We are also building our government 
services business and recently secured 
our second hydrographic survey scope 
for the Australian Navy under the 
HydroScheme Industry Partnership 
Program of which MMA Offshore is one of 
seven panel members. 

The subsea business was also 
engaged on a number of infrastructure 
maintenance scopes during the year 
including a jetty refurbishment scope 
for South32 on Groote Eylandt and an 
inspection and maintenance contract 
for Chevron on Barrow Island which has 
recently concluded. We will continue 
to selectively focus on key marine 
infrastructure projects in Australia to grow 
this segment of the business.

Project Logistics

Health & Safety

The Project Logistics division was created 
with the aim of targeting logistics scopes 
associated with large LNG and offshore 
wind projects in East Africa, Asia and 
Australia, predominantly using third-party 
assets. 

The division generated revenue for the 
year of $16.5 million and EBITDA of 
$(5.5) million. Reported EBITDA included 
the impact of a $6.4 million provision 
raised for settlement costs in relation to a 
historical shipyard legal dispute.

Project activity in Australia is ramping 
up and MMA was recently successful in 
securing three logistics scopes to provide 
tug and barge services for major projects 
in the region. 

Commencing in September 2021, MMA 
will support Subsea 7 with two tug and 
barge sets and two assist vessels on the 
Julimar 2 Project. The vessels will deliver 
subsea spools from Indonesia to Dampier, 
Western Australia and support installation 
of the equipment.

Following the Julimar scope, MMA will 
provide TechnipFMC with a fleet of four 
tug and barge sets and two offshore 
positioning tugs to support subsea 
installation works on a major LNG project. 
MMA will act as lead contractor and will 
subcontract to other vessel operators to 
provide the overall vessel requirements. 
The contract is expected to commence in 
October 2021 with a total contract value 
in excess of A$20 million.

MMA has also secured a scope of 
work on the Ichthys 2 Project which will 
commence in 2022.

MMA’s operations in Mozambique are 
currently winding down. A total of five 
third-party landing craft have been on 
charter supporting the construction of the 
Mozambique LNG Project. In April 2021, 
due to a serious escalation of insurgency 
activity in the region, Total declared force 
majeure and suspended the construction 
of the project indefinitely. MMA had a 
continued involvement in supporting the 
demobilisation of construction activities 
through the second half including 
brokering an accommodation vessel 
to support personnel as part of the 
demobilisation activities. 

MMA will continue to monitor the market 
in Mozambique, however in the current 
environment timelines for a resumption in 
activity remain uncertain. 

Keeping our people safe and healthy is 
fundamental to how we operate at MMA. 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic 
continues to be a challenge for the 
organisation in terms of managing our 
operations and also for our people in their 
daily lives. 

We have implemented a range of control 
measures, protocols and procedures 
to safely continue our operations whilst 
protecting the health and welfare of our 
people and the wider community. Our 
COVID-19 management team continues 
to monitor the situation daily and work 
to ensure the best practical practices are 
deployed and vigilantly adhered to across 
the business.

Several of our regional offices have 
experienced long lockdowns during the 
year with many of our people working 
remotely for extended periods of time. 
Our offshore personnel have had to adjust 
to ever-changing quarantine requirements 
and at times extended time away from 
their families and friends due to border 
restrictions. Our operational teams 
are dealing with increased operational 
complexity and logistical challenges 
associated with the pandemic every 
day. We sincerely appreciate the efforts 
of our people in maintaining the high 
quality of our operations through these 
extraordinary times. 

We are acutely aware of the impact the 
ongoing pandemic can have on the 
mental health and overall wellbeing of our 
people. During the year we launched a 
new Employee Assistance Program with 
24/7 access to counselling services and 
a range of other support services for our 
staff across the globe both onshore and 
offshore. We also signed the Neptune 
Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing which 
aims to protect the welfare of seafarers 
who have been unable to crew change off 
vessels due to the pandemic. 

During FY2021, we maintained an above 
average safety performance with a Total 
Recordable Case Frequency (“TRCF”) 
per million hours worked of 1.13 as 
compared to the marine industry average 
of 1.53 as measured by the International 
Marine Contractors Association (“IMCA”). 

With the subsea business fully integrated 
into our safety systems and processes 
during the year we have consolidated the 
safety statistics for the entire organisation.

Notwithstanding our relatively strong 
safety record, we operate in a high-risk 
industry which requires safety to be at 
the forefront of each and every person’s 
mind each and every day. To enforce our 
commitment to safety we conducted a 
“Stand Together for Safety” campaign 
in June 2021, whereby all of our offices, 
worksites and vessels paused work to 
have a critical discussion about how we 
can improve our safety performance.

We refuse to accept safety incidents and 
continue to work hard to embed this 
philosophy across the business as part of 
our Target 365 “a Perfect Day, Every Day” 
Program.

Outlook for FY2022

The medium-term outlook is positive 
with increased project activity forecast 
in our sectors and regions and our 
diversification strategy beginning to 
deliver results.

However, the short-term impacts of the 
COVID-19 Delta variant are significantly 
increasing costs and restricting our ability 
to execute projects.

The first quarter of FY2022 is expected 
to be soft with the remainder of FY2022 
dependent on the ongoing impacts of 
COVID-19.

SUSTAINABILITY
REPORT

WE BELIEVE MARINE 
RESOURCES SHOULD BE 
DEVELOPED SUSTAINABLY

Sustainability is at the core of MMA’s vision and is integral to our strategy as an organisation. MMA is  
committed to achieving sustainable outcomes for the environment, our people and the community whilst 
operating with strong ethics and governance. 

During FY2021 MMA enhanced its 
commitment to sustainability, formally 
adding sustainability to the Board’s Audit 
and Risk Committee agenda, forming a 
Sustainability Committee and a number of 
working groups to drive key sustainability 
initiatives. 

MMA’s corporate strategy embraces 
sustainability and addresses both the 
risks and opportunities arising as a result 
of the transition to a net zero economy. 
MMA is diversifying its business and 
moving into greener sectors such as 
offshore wind which are seeing rapid 
growth as governments take steps 
to reduce their emissions. We are 
also looking at strategies to reduce 
our emissions including emerging 
technologies and innovations to address 
industry wide challenges.

The importance of ESG issues to all 
of our stakeholders has accelerated in 
recent years and particularly since the 
onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. MMA 
is committed to helping address the key 
issues of our time.

Sustainability Strategy

MMA’s ESG strategy is focused on the 
following key elements:

Environment – how MMA performs as a 
steward of nature.

MMA’s key ESG initiatives are focused on 
a number of key issues as identified in the

ENVIRONMENT

MMA’s environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001: 2015 “Environmental Management 
Systems” across our global operations. MMA maintained environmental certification and all licences required 
during FY2021 and did not have any reportable or adverse environmental events.

Environmental Policy

MMA is committed to growing our 
business in an ecologically sustainable 
way. To support this goal MMA:

•  Complies with relevant laws and 

regulations and applies responsible 
standards where laws and regulations 
do not exist;

•  Maintains a relentless focus on 

environmental responsibility, risk 
assessment and a culture of mutual 
accountability;

•  Commits to zero spills across land 

and marine environments; 

•  Encourages all users of MMA’s 

facilities to understand and adhere 
to MMA’s environmental policies and 
standards;

•  Monitors environmental performance 

to improve our policies, processes, 
work practices and behaviours 
promoting a cycle of continuous 
improvement; and

•  Promotes efficient use of materials 
and resources (including energy, 
water, raw materials and other natural 
resources) through design and 
operational procedures, wherever 
practicable throughout our business. 

Environmental Management 
Standards

As an operator in the highly regulated 
global maritime industry, MMA complies 
with a number of international regulations 
and conventions to protect the sensitive 
marine environments in which we 
operate, including: 

• 

International Convention for the 
Prevention of Pollution from Ships 
(MARPOL 73/78); and

•  Technical Code on Control of 

Emission of Nitrogen Oxides from 
Marine Diesel Engines.

The International Maritime Organisation 
“(IMO)” recently announced enhanced 
provisions under MARPOL to reduce 
greenhouse gas emissions from ships 
including a requirement to calculate and 
report a ships carbon intensity indicator 
(CII) which will be implemented from 
1 January 2023 and which MMA will 
comply with. 

Emissions Reduction

One of the most significant environmental 
issues in relation to the shipping industry 
is the emissions generated by heavy 
fuel oil, particularly sulphur oxide. MMA’s 
vessel fleet operates entirely on marine 
gas oil (MGO) which is a low sulphur fuel 
oil and considered to be a clean fuel used 
on ships today.

Significant research into alternative fuels 
such as LNG, hydrogen, ammonia and 
methane is currently being undertaken 
by the industry. MMA’s technology team 
are at the forefront of new technologies 
and are investigating (in conjunction with 
our clients) the potential to introduce 
alternative fuels as well as battery 
technology on vessels to reduce the 
overall carbon footprint of our clients’ 
operations and assist in meeting the 
global goal of net zero emissions by 
2050.

MMA is currently not required to report 
its greenhouse gas emissions under 
the National Greenhouse and Energy 
Reporting Act 2007 in Australia as 
its Australian emissions fall below the 
reporting thresholds. 

MMA’s has calculated its emissions for its 
global operations for the financial years 
ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, 
with its Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 
emissions outlined below.

Scope 1 reflects MMA’s direct fuel use 
and associated emissions while our 
vessels are off-hire and fuel is MMA’s 
responsibility. Once MMA’s vessels have 
been contracted, fuel comes under 
the client’s control and emissions are 
classified as Scope 3. 

Fuel burn and total emissions are 
correlated with vessel utilisation, with fuel 
use considerably higher when vessels are 
at work. To facilitate a comparison over 
time we have used “available vessel days” 
as a normalisation factor to calculate 
emissions intensity as the fleet size and 
utilisation fluctuates. MMA’s emissions 
intensity reduced between FY2020 and 
FY2021 and we are focused on achieving 
further reductions through a range of 
measures over time.

Total available vessel days

MMA has established an Emissions 
Reduction Working Group to develop 
out our strategy to reduce emissions 
and set tangible targets for emissions 
reduction between now and 2050.

MMA’s emissions reduction strategy 
focuses on the following areas which 
have the greatest potential to impact 
emissions generated by our vessels:

•  Developing marine solutions which 

reduce the overall carbon footprint of 
client operations;

•  A culture of energy awareness on 
board our vessels including the 
monitoring of fuel consumption as 
part of operational planning; 

•  Optimising hull maintenance 
schedules to reduce fuel 
consumption; and 

• 

Investigating alternative fuel sources 
and the installation of battery 
technology.

MMA has developed a number of 
marine solutions for clients which have 
materially reduced the emissions intensity 
of the marine support operation. MMA 
previously modified a platform supply 
vessel to undertake static tow and offtake 
duties, which eliminated the need for a 
second support vessel. This significantly 
reduced the carbon footprint of the 
operations with the added benefit of 
reducing cost. MMA has also introduced 
unique vessel sharing arrangements 
between clients which has reduced the 
overall vessel requirement in a region.

SUSTAINABILITY IS AT THE CORE OF 
MMA’S PURPOSE AND IS INTEGRAL TO 
OUR STRATEGY AS AN ORGANISATION

SUPPORTING  
CLEAN OCEANS

In May 2021, MMA’s crew on the 
Mermaid Searcher came to the 
rescue of a stranded sea turtle. 

Based in the Timor Sea, the 
Mermaid Searcher crew spotted the 
trapped turtle which had become 
entangled in a pile of discarded 
netting. 

The vessel was maneuvered alongside, 
and our crew worked with care to safely 
disentangle the turtle from the netting. 
Thanks to the quick actions of our crew, 
the turtle was successfully freed and 
swam back out to sea. 

Our team then ensured all netting and 
debris was removed from the location and 
properly disposed of. 

In leading by example, our crew on the 
Mermaid Searcher were praised for their 
teamwork, quick thinking and actions 
to clean up our oceans and protect our 
irreplaceable marine life.

Supporting the Energy Transition

Australian Hydrographic 

Survey Program 

MMA is also active in the hydrographic 
survey market through the Australian 
Government’s HydroScheme Industry 
Partnership Program which seeks to 
obtain full, high quality bathymetric 
coverage of Australia’s waters for the 
safety of ships navigating in Australian 
waters. MMA is pleased to contribute to 
this important program which will assist in 
protecting Australia’s marine environment 
from potential incidents.

Innovation Program

At MMA, one of the key pillars of our 
Innovation Program is Sustainability. 

We have tasked a multidisciplinary team 
to address the challenge “How do we 
develop the marine resources industry 
more sustainably?”.

We are working on internally generated 
ideas as well as co-developing innovation 
at an industry level.

PIER71 Maritime  

Innovation Program

MMA is a corporate partner of the PIER71 
Smart Port Challenge which is aimed at 
facilitating an eco-system for innovation 
within the maritime industry. With 
sustainability at the heart of the innovation 
challenge we hope to participate in some 
exciting developments at an industry 
level.

3D Printing Pilot Program

MMA has partnered with Wilhelmsen and 
thyssenkrupp to help develop and test 
their 3D parts printing program. In April 
2021, MMA participated in the recent 
launch of the program which successfully 
digitised, printed, tested and delivered a 
3D printed cooling water pipe connector 
by drone to the MMA Monarch which was 
moored off the coast of Singapore.

MMA is excited to be involved in this 
innovation which has the potential to 
significantly improve the supply chain for 
marine parts, making it more efficient and 
sustainable. 

A key part of MMA’s strategy is to 
diversify our service offering to support 
the rapidly growing offshore wind market, 
thereby using our skills and assets to 
facilitate the global energy transition.

During FY2021 MMA increased its share 
of revenue from offshore wind to 16% of 
total revenue and our strategy is focused 
on significantly growing this part of our 
business.

To support MMA’s goal to be a leader 
in marine support for the renewables 
sector, we have recently established 
a local entity in Taiwan “MMA Clean 
Energy” and agreed a joint venture with a 
local Taiwanese company. We have also 
signed a memorandum of understanding 
with Worley to jointly service the offshore 
wind sector in South East Asia. 

Supporting Clean Oceans

Waste Management

MMA has a robust suite of policies and 
procedures in place to ensure that we 
do not inadvertently pollute the precious 
marine environments in which we 
operate. 

MMA complies with a range of waste 
management regulatory requirements and 
international conventions across all of its 
vessels and facilities including:

• 

• 

• 

International Convention for the 
Control and Management of Ships’ 
Ballast Water and Sediments; 

International Convention for the 
Control of Harmful Anti-fouling 
Systems on Ships; 

International Maritime Dangerous 
Goods Code (IMDG Code); and

•  The Hong Kong International 
Convention for the Safe and 
Environmental Recycling of Ships.

Plastics Reduction

As a Company, we are targeting the 
elimination of single use water bottles 
on our vessels by 2024 through the 
deployment of new potable water 
systems on our vessels and operational 
sites.

To date, four of our larger vessels have 
had systems installed to trial the use 
of potable water systems. A Waste 
Management working group has been 
set up to manage the roll out of these 
systems across the fleet.

SOCIAL

PEOPLE

Health & Safety

At MMA, protecting the health and safety 
of our people is fundamental to how we do 
business and is ingrained in our Target 365 
culture which aims for ‘a Perfect Day, Every 
Day’.

While the COVID-19 pandemic presented 
significant logistical challenges, our 
staff, crews, and project personnel have 
successfully worked together to deliver 
an above average health and safety 
performance that is essential to the way 
MMA does business.

In FY2021, our Total Recordable Case 
Frequency (“TRCF”) increased from 0.54 
the previous year to 1.13 (per million hours 
worked). Whilst our TRCF increased on a 
percentage basis, the absolute number of 
lost time injuries was relatively low at four, 
and our performance remains positive 
as compared to the industry average as 
measured by IMCA. 

We were however, below our target of top 
quartile IMCA TRCF performance for the 
year and instigated a number of initiatives 
to address the increase in lost time injuries 
including a “Stand Together for Safety” 
event held in June 2021, whereby all of 
MMA’s offices, work sites and vessels 
paused work over a two-day period to 
have critical discussions about how we can 
improve our safety.

We also use our internal measure of 
“Perfect Days” to measure our safety 
performance. As the key metric of our 
Target 365 Program, we continually strive 
for ‘a Perfect Day, Every Day’ with a perfect 
day being a day free of recordable injuries 
or material incidents. In FY2021, we 
achieved 321 (88%) perfect days, a slight 
reduction on the previous and below our 
annual target of 92%. 

We continually strive for improvements to 
both leading and lagging measures in order 
to achieve our Target 365 goal. We also 
regularly conduct intervention and proactive 
campaigns to address performance and 
will continue to support our staff and 
contractors in preventing injury and illness.

In FY2021, we continued to undertake 
improvements in our HSEQ systems and 
processes.

 Highlights for the year included:

•  Achieved global certification for all 
operations to ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 
14001: 2015 and transitioned the 
Company to ISO 45001: 2018;

•  Completed Target 365 Leadership 
Sessions across the business. The 
sessions highlighted our strengths and 
opportunities to improve our approach 
to achieving our ‘Perfect Day, Every 
Day’ aspiration;

•  Continued to demonstrate the value 
of Senior Management engaging 
with front line crews and projects. 
Senior management attended project 
mobilisations, undertook vessel 
voyages and spent time in operations 
to gain a greater appreciation of 
frontline operations and provide support 
to achieve Target 365;

•  Ran a major campaign promoting our 
new Employee Assistance Program 
which provides 24/7 counselling 
support and a dedicated online portal 
with tools designed to promote mental 
health;

•  Achieved our first certification for a Dive 
Safety Management System under 
the Australian Offshore Regulator. 
This confirms MMA’s commitment 
to managing risks associated with 
potentially high-risk operations;

•  Maintained vessel safety cases in both 

•  Completed a comprehensive internal 
assurance programme to ensure 
our controls are adequately robust 
to prevent incidents, protect the 
environment, and maintain our licence 
to operate; and

•  Continued to manage the challenges 
brought by the unprecedented global 
COVID-19 pandemic.

MMA was again active in contributing to the 
improvement of HSEQ management across 
our industry. MMA’s Managing Director, 
Mr David Ross, is the Co-Chair of the 
Marine Working Group of Safer Together 
(Western Australia and Northern Territory) 
and a member of the Safer Together 
Safety Leaders Group. MMA’s Executive 
General Manager of People and Safety 
also continued as Chair of the International 
Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) 
Global Core HSSE Committee.

Employee Wellbeing

At MMA, we are committed to fostering a 
diverse, engaging, and high-performance 
workplace, one that supports individual 
employees’ wellbeing and their journey 
towards realising their full potential.

We aim to provide a healthy, safe and 
inclusive workplace, free from harassment 
and bullying. We foster an environment 
where all our people feel safe to speak 
up, and treat each other fairly, respectfully 
and with dignity. We achieve this by 
having several key processes and support 
mechanisms in place.

Employee Assistance Program 

(EAP)

In December 2020, MMA launched a new 
Employee Assistance Program provider 
across our entire business. Critical to 
this change was the ability for multi-
channel access and 24/7 individualised 
support across all of the Company’s 
work locations. This support can be 
accessed from any MMA site or vessel in 
the world. Personal support services not 
only include individual counselling, but 
our employees can also access resources 
for managers, information targeted at 
individuals and their family members, as 
well as general financial, mental health 
and nutritional advice. 

Employee Opinion Survey

Listening to our people is critical to the 
company’s ongoing success. During the 
past 12 months, MMA implemented our 
third annual Employee Opinion Survey, 
measuring key areas of our employees’ 
thoughts and perceptions about the 
business. Target areas of improvement 
have been identified with specific action 
plans put in place. 

HR Policies & Procedures

MMA has a number of policies and 
procedures which are designed to foster 
employee wellbeing.

These include:

• 

Flexible working arrangements 
to facilitate personal and family 
commitments;

•  Generous parental support 

and flexibility on return to work 
arrangements to facilitate ongoing 
participation; and

•  A Mental Health Policy enabling staff 
to use their sick leave for mental 
health reasons.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

MMA first responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 
by implementing our Prevention of Transmissible Disease and Crisis 
Management procedures.

Throughout FY2021, the MMA Crisis Management Team held 
meetings every two days in order to continually monitor changes 
across our business. Our Crisis Management Team continues to 
closely monitor the pandemic and routinely tests that our controls 
are fit for purpose.

COVID-19 brought and continues to bring significant challenges 
to our people, both personally and professionally. MMA’s vessel 
crewing teams in Singapore and Australia worked relentlessly 
to clarify and work with restrictions put in place around the 
world. Mobilisation plans were regularly updated multiple 

times per day to ensure our crew made it safely to vessels 
and returned home safely COVID-free. 

MMA’s strong investment in remote-working technology 
over recent years ensured staff were able to work from 
home with ease when required, connecting to critical 
business systems and colleagues without any major 
disruption to workflows.

MMA is incredibly proud of all employees’ efforts 
throughout the pandemic. Our entire team was 
able to ensure continuity of service to our 
clients, while always maintaining a firm focus 
on the safety and wellbeing of all employees 
and stakeholders.

We continue to monitor and appropriately 
adjust our response to this ongoing 
situation with a view to always act in 
the best interest of our people, our 
stakeholders, our business and the 
communities in which we operate.

Training & Development

Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity Measurable Objectives

The key areas of training and competency 
are two of the fundamental pillars of our 
strategic Human Resources plan. 

A total of 786 employees accessed 
training during the past 12 months, 
completing over 5,995 individual training 
outcomes. The ongoing skilling and 
competency of our workforce ensures 
that we are able to meet complex 
business challenges for our clients in our 
future, whilst developing our people to 
enhance their career progression.

With operational sites and locations 
positioned around the world, MMA is 
proud to be a highly culturally diverse 
organisation. Celebrating our different 
backgrounds and experiences is a major 
focus for MMA’s Diversity and Inclusion 
Committee, who organise and promote a 
range of employee engagement activities 
throughout the year.

We also regularly review our remuneration 
practices to ensure equal pay across the 
organisation.

To assist with promoting our objective to 
facilitate greater diversity and inclusion at 
all levels within our Company, we have 
a Diversity and Inclusion Committee 
responsible for: 

•  Assisting the Board with diversity and 

inclusion issues;

•  Establishing and monitoring strategies 

on promoting and maintaining 
diversity and inclusion;

• 

Implementing the measurable 
objectives set by the Board; and

•  Reviewing achievements and 

progress against these measurable 
objectives and reporting this to the 
Board.

Crew Welfare

Neptune Declaration

In February 2021, MMA was proud to 
sign the Neptune Declaration – a global 
call to action in support of seafarers 
affected by the ongoing COVID-19 
pandemic. As a vessel operator, MMA 
recognised the necessity of industry 
and governmental collaboration and 
the shared responsibility we all have in 
resolving the unique issues for maritime 
crew presented by the pandemic.

Crew Engagement

MMA recognises the importance of 
regularly engaging with our vessel 
crew. During April 2021, members of 
our Australian offshore crew gathered 
in Perth, Western Australia for a day of 
information, collaboration and networking 
at MMA’s annual Crew Conference event. 

The event was an important platform 
for our offshore crew to have open 
conversations with our senior leadership 
team and provided a valuable networking 
opportunity for our crew members across 
MMA’s fleet of vessels to come together. 

Enterprise Agreements

Industrially, MMA continued its operational 
activity with zero interruptions resulting 
from workplace disputes. The current 
Enterprise Agreements covering 
Australian marine personnel expired 
in April/May 2021. High-level planning 
involving key internal and external 
stakeholders commenced in 2020 and is 
ongoing.

International Women’s Day

In March 2021, MMA celebrated 
International Women’s Day by taking 
time to reflect on the Company’s 
gender equality statistics, as well 
as the broader gender equality 
employment statistics of our major 
operating regions. We were also 
delighted to present a special video 
interview with one of MMA’s female 
employees who is engaged in the 
non-traditional role of a Deck Officer 
within our fleet.

Ramadan

During April and May 2021, MMA 
recognised the Muslim holiday of 
Ramadan. Throughout Ramadan, 
we interviewed three of our staff 
members via video link to share 
insights into their personal practices 
and family traditions. Our Perth office 
was also able to come together in 
May 2021 and enjoy a ‘breaking the 
fast lunch’ in celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

Annually MMA develops a set of Diversity 
Measurable Objectives, including 
targets for female participation in senior 
management positions and encouraging 
training and development of high potential 
women within the business.

Whilst MMA’s percentages of women 
in senior management are below our 
targets, pleasingly our percentage of 
women on the MMA Board of Directors 
has increased during the year to 33.3% 
following the appointments of Ms Sue 
Murphy and Ms Sally Langer. 

Whilst the offshore marine and subsea 
industries are traditionally predominantly 
male dominated, MMA continues to focus 
as a priority on promoting and supporting 
women through the organisation through 
both our recruitment and ongoing 
employee development practices.

Diversity Events

During FY2021, MMA employees came 
together to recognise a range of events 
including NAIDOC Week, International 
Women’s Day, Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. 

NAIDOC Week

In November 2020, MMA came together 
to recognise the rich history, culture and 
achievements of Aboriginal and Torres 
Strait Islander peoples for NAIDOC Week.

At MMA’s Perth office, we were privileged 
to hear from Ron Bradfield Jnr, a local 
Indigenous storyteller, who shared his 
own story growing up in the mid-west 
region of Western Australia and the 
experiences that shaped him. Ron also 
provided our team members with the 
opportunity to participate in an activity 
aimed at exploring our own personal 
stories and the shared experiences that 
bring us together. We were also able to 
share this invaluable presentation via 
recorded video with our offices in Darwin, 
Melbourne, Singapore and the United 
Kingdom.

More recently, we conducted an 
awareness campaign for NAIDOC 
Week 2021 focusing on the theme 
“Heal Country”. During the campaign 
we shared insights into the history and 
cultural traditions of the traditional owners 
of MMA’s key operating regions around 
Australia including Gumap (Elizabeth 
Quay), Murujuga (Dampier), Garramilla 
(Darwin) and Naarm (Melbourne). We 
also made a donation to the Wirrpanda 
Foundation supporting the provision of 
education, employment and business 
opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres 
Strait Islander Australians.

TRADITIONAL  
OWNER ENGAGEMENT

MMA is committed to the 
development of long-term 
relationships and partnerships 
with the Indigenous communities 
in which we operate.

From September to December 
in FY2021, MMA completed 
a survey work scope for the 
Australian Department of Defence 
as a part of the HydroScheme 
Industry Partnership Program 
(HIPP) at Mavis Reef, Western 
Australia.

MMA’s Subsea Services team 
engaged Indigenous rangers from the 
Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation 
at the project outset and worked 
cooperatively with the Corporation 
throughout. As the Traditional Owners of 
the area in which works were conducted, 
the rangers joined our vessel throughout 
the project and accompanied our team of 
surveyors in accessing the land.

Through this process of engagement, MMA 
developed a strong working relationship 
with the Dambimangari People. MMA 
looks forward to working further with the 
Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation on the 
upcoming Camden Sound HIPP work scope 
which is scheduled to begin during FY2022 and 
covers twice the survey area of the Mavis Reef 
work scope.

Christmas Food Donation Drive

With 2020 having been an incredibly 
challenging year for our communities, 
MMA’s employees came together 
during the holiday season to provide 
their support towards the ongoing 
humanitarian challenge of food insecurity 
in our communities. Throughout 
December, MMA employees across our 
primary locations of Perth, Singapore 
and United Kingdom worked together to 
run an employee-led food donation drive 
with all donations provided to Foodbank 
Western Australia, Willing Hearts 
Singapore and Instant Neighbour United 
Kingdom.

Dress for Success

In March 2021, MMA celebrated and 
acknowledged International Women’s 
Day. In support of this, our Perth-based 
team participated in a clothing donation 
drive with all items donated to Dress 
for Success Perth – a registered charity 
which aims to provide local women 
in need with work-appropriate attire, 
mentoring and career workshops.

Epilepsy Western Australia

In June 2021, our Perth-based 
employees supported Epilepsy Western 
Australia through their participation in an 
employee-led charity raffle and morning 
tea with prizes generously donated 
by one of MMA’s team members. Our 
employees worked together to raise 
much needed funds to provide support 
services to Western Australians living 
with and affected by epilepsy, with MMA 
matching the total funds raised.

Modern Slavery 

MMA is committed to ensuring that no 
forms of slavery or forced labour occur 
within its operations or supply chains. 

MMA’s management of modern 
slavery falls under its overall approach 
to business as set out in its code of 
conduct.

MMA has developed a strong supply 
chain and a network of suppliers 
and subcontractors to support its 
operations. These suppliers include 
marine spare parts original equipment 
manufacturers, providers of logistics, 
port and agency services and providers 
of marine fuel, provisions, personal 
protective equipment, uniforms and 
consumables. We have established 
multi-year relationships with a majority of 
our suppliers. Approximately 40% of our 
procurement is from Australian-based 
companies, whilst 35% is from Singapore 
and 25% from other areas (primarily 
South East Asia). 

MMA’s operations are also carried out 
in accordance with the Maritime Labour 
Convention 2006 (MLC) which provides 
minimum standards and regulations 
relating to employment, working and living 
conditions.

MMA’s Modern Slavery Statement, 
published in December 2020, reports on 
how MMA assesses and addresses the 
risks of modern slavery occurring within 
its supply chains (whether in Australia 
or internationally). MMA’s modern 
slavery statement is a public document 
which can be found on the Australian 
Government’s Modern Slavery Register at 
modernslaveryregister.gov.au.

GOVERNANCE

MMA believes that a high standard of 
corporate governance is paramount for 
sustainable long-term performance and 
value creation. 

MMA’s complies with the 4th Edition 
of the Australian Securities Exchange’s 
Corporate Governance Council’s 
Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (4th Edition ASX 
Recommendations).

Code of Conduct 

MMA has in place a Code of Conduct for 
its Directors, Senior Management and 
employees and places a strong focus on 
working legally, ethically and safely.

We encourage the reporting of unlawful 
and unethical behaviour, actively promote 
and monitor compliance with the Code 
of Conduct and protect those who report 
breaches in good faith.

Under MMA’s Group Whistleblower Policy, 
whistleblowers are protected from any 
disadvantage, prejudice or victimisation 
for reporting any breaches of the Policy or 
the Corporations Act. 

Anti-Bribery & Corruption

We have a zero-tolerance approach 
towards bribery and corrupt conduct. 
MMA and its personnel will not engage 
in any form of bribery or other corrupt 
conduct. The Company has an Anti-
Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy for 
preventing the offering or acceptance of 
bribes and other unlawful or unethical 
payments or inducements. MMA had no 
known incidents of bribery or corruption 
during FY2021.

Further details of the Company’s 
Corporate Governance Policies are 
available on the Corporate Governance 
page of our website.

A STRONG FOCUS ON 
WORKING LEGALLY, 
ETHICALLY AND SAFELY

COMMUNITY 

Training

MMA is committed to making a positive 
contribution to the communities in which 
we work by creating mutual opportunities 
that support economic growth and social 
wellbeing. To support our goal MMA will:

• 

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

•  Seek business opportunities with 

local suppliers and subcontractors; 

•  Strive to be good corporate citizens, 
conducting business in an ethical 
manner;

•  Develop long term relationships 

with local Indigenous communities 
in order to increase Indigenous 
participation within our workforce and 
promote opportunities for training and 
development; and

•  Create and maintain cross cultural 

awareness throughout the business. 

By engaging with Indigenous communities 
and the broader communities within our 
areas of operation, we can contribute to a 
safe, sustainable and rewarding future.

Veterans’ Employment Program

2021 saw MMA accepted into the 
Australian Prime Minister’s ‘Veterans’ 
Employment Commitment Program’. 
The Veterans’ Employment Commitment 
is a public declaration regarding 
MMA’s support of greater employment 
opportunities for veterans. 

MMA recognises the skills and value that 
veterans can bring to the company and 
our Human Resources team has updated 
the Company’s recruitment processes to 
reflect this commitment. 

Over the past four years, MMA has 
worked closely with our partners in Dili, 
Timor Leste to provide Able Seafarer 
trainee positions within our international 
fleet. 12 individuals have been provided 
the opportunity to gain an Able Seafarer 
Certificate of Competency, with sea 
time being completed on several of the 
Company’s PSV and AHTS vessels.

Community Support

MMA recognises that supporting 
community philanthropic endeavours, 
either in kind or monetarily, is a 
responsibility we have to the communities 
in which we operate. 

During FY2021, MMA and its employees 
participated in a number of activities in 
support of our local communities.

Indigenous Training Programs

Face Mask Donations for Batam

MMA continues to provide training 
opportunities to Indigenous trainees and 
Timor-Leste nationals in Able Seaman 
roles. 

Indigenous trainees are engaged on 
our modern PSV vessels operating out 
of Darwin and Broome. Candidates 
complete face-to-face training within the 
TAFE system, then go on to complete 
qualifying seatime, gaining critical work 
skills and experience, over a period of  
16 months. 

As a part of Indonesia’s annual ‘Heroes 
Day’ events, MMA’s Batam office 
was proud to support the Indonesian 
government’s “five million masks for 
Batam” initiative by donating around 
4,000 face masks to their local 
community. These face masks were 
distributed to a range of areas across 
Batam including housing communities, 
police stations, churches, and mosques, 
with our team promoting a critical 
COVID-19 safety message: “be a hero by 
using a mask.”

RISKS

MMA recognises that risk is an inherent part of its business.  
Effectively identifying and managing risk is critical 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 is any of the 
information 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 & Gas Industry 

The level of activity in offshore industries 
may vary and be affected by, amongst 
other things, prevailing or predicted future 
oil and gas prices and macro conditions. 

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 industry activity will be 
maintained or increased in the future or 
that offshore companies will not further 
reduce their offshore activities and capital 
expenditure. Any prolonged period of low 
offshore activity or demand or changes in 
energy technology will have an adverse 
effect on MMA’s business. 

The Company aims to mitigate the impact 
of lower offshore investment and lower 
offshore activity by: 

•  Differentiating itself though innovation 

and operational excellence; 

•  Diversifying its contract portfolio 

across the exploration, construction 
and production phases and by 
providing maintenance/repair 
services; 

•  Diversifying its geographic footprint 
across a number of key regional 
areas; 

•  Expanding its service offering to 

include subsea and project logistics 
services; and 

•  Expanding its service offering into 
alternative market sectors such 
as offshore wind, government and 
defence, infrastructure maintenance 
and other new marine markets.

COVID-19

COVID-19 continues to have a significant 
impact on the Company’s activity. As 
a result of COVID-19, MMA has been 
impacted by: 

•  Projects being delayed or cancelled, 
and current work scopes being 
suspended; 

•  Border closures and quarantine 

restrictions affecting the movement 
of our vessels, their crews and 
equipment and spares to and from 
our vessels; 

•  Additional cost of protecting and 
quarantining personnel; and 

Vessel Oversupply &  
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 (which has been 
exacerbated due to COVID-19), there 
continues to be 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 and increasing its risk 
exposure. 

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; 

•  Working from home and other 
Government restrictions. 

• 

Focusing on regional strategies 
to position itself in the most 
advantageous areas to operate (both 
in terms of demand and clients) 
and in emerging markets (such as 
the offshore wind services sector in 
Taiwan); 

•  Having an active lay-up programme 
to minimise holding costs for vessels 
between contracts with vessels 
either cold or warm stacked – 
predominantly at MMA’s land-based 
facilities in Batam and Singapore to 
minimise costs; 

•  Expanding its subsea services 

business through the acquisition of 
Neptune Marine Services - with the 
combined service offering likely to 
result in expanded vessel capability, 
increased asset utilisation and an 
enhanced return on assets; 

•  Expanding its service offering into 
the growing offshore wind sector 
(particularly in Taiwan); and 

•  Differentiating itself from its 

competitors through operational 
excellence, proactive and innovative 
solutions, long-term customer 
relationships and responsive account 
management. 

MMA has implemented the Company 
Transmissible Disease (Prevention) 
Plan and activated the Company Crisis 
Management team led by executive 
expertise and with assistance from 
Company medical advisers to manage 
the COVID-19 risk. MMA has also (where 
possible) introduced specific COVID-19 
or Force Majeure clauses in its contracts 
to try and limit its liability for non-
performance due to COVID-19. 

Debt Refinancing &  
Covenant Breaches 

Further decreases in industry activity or 
a lack of recovery in industry activity (as 
outlined above) may also increase the risk 
of the Company failing to comply with the 
covenants associated with its Banking 
Facility. 

MMA’s debt facility was extended to 
January 2025 during the financial year as 
part of the debt restructuring and capital 
raising that was undertaken. In addition to 
the extended term the syndicated facility 
was reduced from seven to four lenders 
along with gross debt reducing by over 
A$90 million in FY2021. 

MMA seeks to manage these risks 
through proactively engaging with its 
lenders and closely monitoring earnings 
and cash flows monthly. 

Operational Risks

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

Operational risks include (but are not 
limited to):

•  Health and safety incidents;

•  Epidemics/pandemics;

•  Domestic and International border 

closures; 

•  Quarantine risks; 

•  Mental health risks;

•  Outbreak of COVID-19 on board 
vessel(s) or an on-shore site; 

• 

• 

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; 

•  Kidnap and ransom; 

• 

• 

• 

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, crisis management processes, 
certified quality systems and 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. 

Geopolitical, Government & 
Regulatory Factors 

Our international operations are subject 
to more challenging geopolitical risks 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 projects and 
changes to industry related legislation, 
protectionist measures, economic 
sanctions and border closures or 
restrictions (due to COVID-19) 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 or 
COVID-19 controls and 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. The 
prevalence of bribery and/or corruption 
in some foreign jurisdictions also limits 
MMA’s ability to operate in these areas. 

MMA’s strategic plan considers such 
risks and operationally we risk assess 
market areas and clients regularly to 
limit negative and optimise positive 
impacts. A comprehensive Anti-
Bribery and Corruption Policy and 
Group Whistleblower Policy have 
been implemented and are continually 
monitored to try and combat these risks. 

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.

Cyber Security

MMA utilises information technology 
and sophisticated technology to deliver 
high quality services in conjunction with 
interfaces with third party information 
technology systems. Instances of 
cyber-attacks has the potential to 
cause disruption and/or financial and 
reputational damage to the Company. 

MMA has adopted a suite of strategies 
and security measures to prevent cyber-
attacks impacting the Company. The 
Company cyber response is governed 
by an Information and Communications 
Technology (ICT) Steering Committee 
which compromises ICT experts, access 
to external expertise and Executive 
Management representatives. 

Climate Change

Any move from fossil fuel sources of 
energy to renewables has the potential 
to impact MMA’s traditional oil and gas 
markets and customers. The move to 
alternate fuels will also affect MMA’s 
current assets as regulation and social 
norms require less carbon intensive 
operations. 

MMA is diversifying its service offering 
into alternative market sectors such as 
offshore wind in order to support the 
global emissions reduction targets. MMA 
is also investigating alternate technologies 
to power existing and future assets 
and has elevated Sustainability as key 
strategic business imperative led by an 
Executive Management team member.

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

Shares Issued on Vesting of Rights

No shares were issued during or since the end of the financial year as a result of the vesting of performance rights. 

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).

Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Non-Audit Services

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company, the Company 
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.

Indemnification of Auditors

The Company’s external auditor is Deloitte.

The Company has agreed with Deloitte, as part of its terms of engagement, to indemnify Deloitte against certain liabilities to third parties 
arising from the audit engagement. The indemnity does not extend to any liability resulting from the wilful misconduct or fraudulent act or 
omission by Deloitte.

During the financial year:

•  The Company has not paid, or agreed to pay, any premium in relation to any insurance for Deloitte or a body corporate related to 

Deloitte;

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

and

•  There were no officers of the Company who were former partners or directors of Deloitte, whilst Deloitte conducted audits of the 

Company.

40    MMA Offshore Ltd | Annual Report 2021

During the year, no amounts were paid or are payable to the external auditor (Deloitte) for the provision of non-audit services as outlined 
in note 5.5 to the Financial Statements.

During the year, the Company: 

•  did not engage Deloitte to provide any non-audit services; and 

•  paid Deloitte and the sum of $584,056 for the provision of audit services. 

A such, the Directors are satisfied that the independence of the external auditor is compatible with the general standard of 
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration is included on page 55 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

the end of the financial year.

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 2021 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 and current market conditions, the key remuneration outcomes for the 
Company’s key management personnel in 2021 were as follows:

Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR)

•  While the Managing Director and other Senior Management of the Company did not receive an increase in FAR for the 2021 

financial year, the Chief Financial Officer did receive a $45,000 increase in FAR for the 2021 financial year.

Short-term Incentive (STI)

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

personnel for the 2021 financial year.

Long-term Incentive (LTI)

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

personnel for the 2021 financial year.

Remuneration Report 2020

MMA Offshore Limited’s Remuneration Report for the 2020 financial year was adopted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on  
28 January 2021 with a clear majority of 1,293,867,655* votes in favour of the motion (representing 99% of the votes received).

* 

Please note that this number of shares is prior to the 1-for-10 share consolidation effected by the Company on 11 February 2021.

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 2021 financial year, there was no increase in Non-Executive Directors’ fees.

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), current market conditions, Company 
performance and individual performance.

•  While the Managing Director and other Senior Management of the Company did not 
receive an increase in FAR for the 2021 financial year, the Chief Financial Officer did 
receive a $45,000 increase in FAR during the 2021 financial year in line with the current 
market rates for Chief Financial Officers of listed companies of comparable size.

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.

No.

3

•  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, in order to retain and motivate the Managing Director and 

Senior Management of the Company, the Board reinstated the STI component for the 
2021 financial year.

•  The 2021 STI had a 12-month measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 
2021) and, if the performance conditions were met, was payable (either in cash or 
shares at the absolute discretion of the Board) 24-months after the commencement of 
the measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2022);

•  The performance hurdles under this 2021 STI component related to identified Group 
EBITDA Targets (80% weighting) and identified Group Safety Targets (20% weighting);

•  The Company’s performance against each of these metrics resulted in a 0% vesting 
in relation to the identified Group Safety Targets and a 54% vesting in relation to the 
identified Group EBITDA Targets. Overall, 37% of the total 2021 STI component 
vested. Please note that in the calculation of the Group EBITDA Target, the impact of 
Jobkeeper has been excluded. As such, the vesting under the Group EBITDA Target 
has been met despite Jobkeeper;

•  Having exercised its discretion, the Board has decided that the vested 2021 STI 

award will take the form of deferred rights (which shall convert into ordinary, fully paid 
shares in the Company) on completion of an additional 12-months of service by the 
participant (i.e. on 1 July 2022); and

• 

If required, Shareholder approval will be obtained prior to the issue of any deferred 
rights to the Managing Director under this 2021 STI component.

Remuneration Component

Details

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 three-year period.

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

and to retain executives.

•  As previously reported and recognising the need to retain and suitably incentivise the 

Managing Director and other key personnel (in the interests of the Company and all 
its shareholders), the Board has determined to continue the LTI component for the 
Managing Director and other Senior Management for the 2021 financial year. 

LTI Performance Rights

•  The FY2021 LTI Performance Rights have a three-year performance period 

(commencing 1 July 2020 and ending on 30 June 2023).

• 

• 

For the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, the FY2021 LTI Performance 
Rights includes a single performance hurdle relating to Share Price / Net Tangible 
Assets (NTA) with: (1) a 50% vesting if the Company’s share price is equal to 75% 
of NTA or 65cps on 30 June 2023; (2) a 100% vesting if the Company’s share price 
is equal to 110% of NTA or 96cps on 30 June 2023; and (3) a pro-rata vesting on a 
straight line basis between (1) and (2) above (Share Price / NTA Target). 

For other Senior Management of the Company, the FY2021 LTI Performance Rights 
includes performance hurdles relating to the Share Price / NTA Target (70% weighting) 
and a Retention Hurdle (30% weighting).

•  The Board obtained shareholder approval for the grant of the FY2021 LTI Performance 

Rights at Company’s 2020 AGM.

Retention Incentive Performance Rights

• 

In addition, the Board has granted an additional “one-off” Retention Incentive 
Performance Rights to the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer to 
both incentivise and retain the Managing Director and CFO and support MMA’s ability 
to execute and deliver on the Company’s ongoing debt management plan and refined 
strategy for growth.

•  The FY2021 Retention Incentive Performance Rights have a 3-year performance 

period (commencing 1 November 2020 and ending on 31 October 2023).

•  The FY2021 Retention Incentive Performance Rights have performance hurdles 

relating to a Share Price Hurdle (with 100% vesting if the Company’s share price is ≥ 
90cps on 31 October 2023) (70% weighting) and a Retention Hurdle (30% weighting).

•  The Board obtained shareholder approval for the grant of the FY2021 Retention 

Incentive Performance Rights at Company’s 2020 AGM.

•  Board considers that the grant of the FY2021 LTI Performance Rights and the 

grant of the FY2021 Retention Incentive Performance Rights (including the selected 
performance hurdles) are appropriate to retain key management personnel within 
the Company and to achieve the strategic objectives of the Company in the current 
market conditions.

Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company Performance

(A)  Key Management Personnel Remuneration (Actual Payments)

The table below summarises information about the Company’s earnings for the 2021 financial year and the Company’s earnings and 
movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to 30 June 2021, which is a key factor in the Board’s decision not to grant any 
increase in FAR to the Managing Director and other key management personnel (other than the Chief Financial Officer) for the 2021 
financial year and to award the vested 2021 STI in the form of deferred rights (which shall convert into shares) rather than cash for the 
2021 financial year.

There was no impairment charge against the carrying value of the Company’s assets as at 30 June 2021 [2020: $57.7 million impairment charge; 
2019: $10.4 million impairment charge; 2018: $8.4 million impairment reversal; 2017: $312 million impairment charge].

The calculations of the 30 June 2017 basic and diluted earnings per share have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the capital raising 
during this reporting period.

Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

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 2021 financial year (i.e. the 

actual “take-home” pay received by key management personnel for the 2021 financial year); and

(B)  The statutory presentation of the remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel of the Company for the 2021 

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

Bonus and Share-based payments granted as compensation for the current financial year 

STI

As noted above, in order to retain and motivate the Managing Director and Senior Management of the Company, the Board reinstated 
the STI component for the 2021 financial year.

The 2021 STI had a 12-month measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021) and, if the performance conditions 
were met, was payable (either in cash or shares at the absolute discretion of the Board) 24-months after the commencement of the 
measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2022). 

The performance hurdles under this 2021 STI component related to identified Group EBITDA Targets (80% weighting) and identified 
Group Safety Targets (20% weighting). 

The Company’s performance against each of these metrics resulted in a 0% vesting in relation to the identified Group Safety Targets 
and a 54% vesting in relation to the identified Group EBITDA Targets. Overall, 37% of the total 2021 STI component vested. Please note 
that in the calculation of the Group EBITDA Target, the impact of Jobkeeper has been excluded. As such, the vesting under the Group 
EBITDA Target has been met despite Jobkeeper.

Having exercised its discretion, the Board has decided that the vested 2021 STI award will take the form of deferred rights (which shall 
convert into ordinary, fully paid shares in the Company) on completion of an additional 12-months of service by the participant (i.e. on  
1 July 2022). If required, Shareholder approval will be obtained prior to the issue of any deferred rights to the Managing Director under 
this 2021 STI component.

LTI (Performance Rights/Share Based Payments)

During the financial year:

•  No performance rights granted to either the Managing Director or the other key management personnel as part of their 

compensation in previous financial years vested;

•  No share-based payments were granted as compensation to either the Managing Director or the other key management personnel; 

and

•  The Company reinstated the LTI remuneration component - being the “one-off” Retention Incentive Performance Rights granted 

to the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer (as detailed above) and the LTI Performance Rights granted to the 
Managing Director and other Senior Management of the Company (as detailed above) (together the FY2021 LTI Plans). 

48    MMA Offshore Ltd | Annual Report 2021

MMA Offshore Ltd | Annual Report 2021    49

 
Each right under the FY2021 LTI Plans converts into one ordinary share of MMA Offshore Limited on vesting. No amounts are paid or 
payable by the recipient upon grant of the rights under the FY2021 LTI Plans. The rights carry neither the right to a dividend nor a voting 
right. Please refer to the table below for details of the performance criteria for the rights granted during the 2021 financial year under the 
FY2021 LTI Plans. 

The table below sets out the relevant performance criteria for the performance rights granted to the Managing Director and other key

The assessment of the recoverable amount of 
the assets held for sale requires management 
to exercise judgement and has been based on a 
Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal (“FVLCD”) 
approach. A market based approach has been 
used by the Directors, reflecting the value 
which could be expected to be realised through 
sales executed in the period to 30 June 2022. 

In assessing the recoverable amount of these 
non-core vessels, the Group has used internal 
management valuations incorporating existing 
industry knowledge including actual sales 
achieved during the period, current discussions 
with prospective purchasers and market sales 
of similar vessels.  

The Group has also appointed external valuers 
to provide a comparative current market values 
of these vessel for the purposes of assessing 
appropriateness and reasonableness of the 
valuations of these assets.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Assessing the terms and conditions under the new 
Syndicated Facility Agreement; 
Evaluating management’s treatment of the 
restructure including recognition of a new financial 
instrument, recognition of debt forgiveness and 
treatment of unamortised borrowing costs against the 
requirements of the relevant accounting standards; 
Assessing the financial covenant calculations through 
the period to 31 August 2022 to identify whether 
potential breaches may occur; and 
Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures

As disclosed in Note 3.9 the Group restructured 
its debt facility and entered into the seventh 
amendment of the banking syndicate 
agreement.   

As part of the restructure, 3 of the banks exited 
the facility and total debt was reduced by 
approximately $91.9 million through 
repayments totalling $67.3 million to the 
exiting banks, repayments totalling $9.8 million 
to the remaining banks and debt concessions 
from the exiting banks totalling $14.8 million. 
At the date of the restructure, $1.9 million of 
remaining unamortised loan fees associated 
with the extinguished finance facility were 
amortised to nil.  

The new terms of the syndicated facility have 
extended the loan facility to January 2025.  

The modification of the loan agreement has 
been accounted for by management as an 
extinguishment of the original financial liability 
and the recognition of a new financial liability 
due to the substantially different terms of the 
revised agreement. 

Other Information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s  annual report  for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report 
and our auditor’s report thereon. The annual report  is expected to be made available to us after the date of this 
auditor's report.  

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in 
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we 
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

• 

• 

• 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to 
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going 
concern.  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation.  

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for 
our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit.  

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats 
or safeguards applied.

MMA Offshore Ltd | Annual Report 2021    61

   From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.   RReeppoorrtt  oonn  tthhee  RReemmuunneerraattiioonn  RReeppoorrtt   Opinion on the Remuneration Report  We have audited the Remuneration Report included in on pages 42 to 54 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2021. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of MMA Offshore Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.   Responsibilities   The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

1.  General Notes

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

2. 

Financial Performance

2.1  Segment Information

1.1  Basis of Preparation

The	financial	statements	have	been	prepared	on	the	historical	cost	basis,	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 and translation of foreign operations as described in note 4.2. 

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.	

1.2  Going Concern

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

1.3  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 (other than those involving 
estimations)	that	have	a	significant	impact	on	the	amounts	recognised	and	to	make	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.

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.

Estimation of expected credit losses – refer note 3.2

Assets	classified	as	held	for	sale	–	refer	note	3.4

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

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 (Managing Director) for the 
purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Information regarding the Group’s operating segments 
is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

2.1  Segment Information (continued)

Revenue from charter of vessels 

Revenue from the charter of vessels is an integrated service provided to customers and includes the charter of the vessel and 
crew, mobilisation and demobilisation. Revenue is recognised over the period of time over which the customer utilises the vessel. 
Where the entity supplies goods, such as fuel, to the customer as part of the contract, revenue is recognised at a point in time 
when the customer obtains control of the goods.

Revenue from subsea services

Revenue from subsea services is derived from providing a variety of services to companies operating in subsea environments 
including the inspection, maintenance and repair of facilities and equipment. Revenue is recognised over time based on the input 
method by reference to estimates of work completed for each contract.

Revenue from project logistics

Revenue from Project Logistics relates to management of large marine spreads and complex marine logistics. Revenue is 
recognised over time based on the input method by reference to estimates of work completed for each contract

The	Group	recognises	other	revenue	as	the	promised	goods	and	services	are	provided	to	customers	in	an	amount	that	reflects	
the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods and services.

Segment assets are held in both A$ and US$ denominated currencies. The US$ assets are translated into A$ using 
exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The movement in the exchange rate has resulted in an 
unrealised	negative	movement	in	the	asset	value	of	$30.2	million	in	A$	terms.	Offsetting	the	negative	movement	in	asset	
value was a reduction in the US$ debt of $12.9 million in A$ terms.

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources to a segment, all assets are allocated to a 
reportable segment other than cash and central administration assets.

March 2021. 

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions 
attaching to them and that the grants will be received. 

Government	grants	are	recognised	in	profit	or	loss	on	a	systematic	basis	over	the	periods	in	which	the	Group	recognises	
as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants that are receivable as

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	in	certain	jurisdictions.	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

During January 2021, the Group received a payment of US$1.0 million relating to a debtor balance that was fully provisioned 
for credit loss as at 30 June 2020. The allowance for credit loss has been reversed with a decrease in ‘Vessel expenses’ in the 
Consolidated	Statement	of	Profit	&	Loss.	The	group	continues	to	hold	promissory	notes	to	the	value	of	US$	5.1	million	and	is	
enforcing	payment	of	those	in	the	relevant	execution	courts	however	the	impact	of	the	COVID-19	pandemic	continues	to	affect	
our ability to enforce the court orders.

The credit period for customers is negotiated individually on a case by case basis. An allowance has been made for estimated 
irrecoverable trade receivable amounts arising from the past rendering of services.

The	Group	writes	off	a	trade	receivable	when	there	is	information	indicating	that	the	debtor	is	in	significant	financial	difficulty	
and	there	is	no	realistic	prospect	of	recovery.	Subsequent	recoveries	of	amounts	previously	written	off	are	credited	against	the	
allowance account.

The Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit 
losses (“ECL”) in two categories.

1.  Where	there	has	been	no	significant	increase	in	credit	risk	since	initial	recognition,	ECL’s	are	collectively	estimated	using	a	
provision	matrix	based	on	the	Group’s	historical	credit	loss	experience	adjusted	for	factors	that	are	specific	to	geographic	
region, general economic conditions and an assessment of current and forecast conditions at reporting date. This has 
resulted in ECL’s being applied to debtors aged over 60 days in our international business. 

2.  Where	there	has	been	a	significant	change	in	credit	risk,	ECL’s	are	individually	estimated.	This	assessment	is	adjusted	for	

factors	that	are	specific	to	the	debtor	including	their	financial	capacity	to	make	payment,	discussions	with	the	debtor	on	the	
status of the receivable and any other information relevant to the assessment of the recoverability.

The following table shows the movement in lifetime ECL that has been recognised for trade receivables in accordance with the 
simplified	approach	set	out	in	AASB	9:

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 of disposal and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. An impairment loss is recognised 
for any initial write-down of the asset to fair value less costs of disposal. Information regarding the assets held for sale in the 
Statement of Financial Position is presented below.

At	30	June	2021,	the	Company	holds	eight	(2020:	12)	non-core	vessels	within	the	fleet	to	be	disposed	of.	Refer	to	note	3.7	for

Leasehold buildings and improvements, vessels and plant and equipment 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.	
Buildings and improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life using the straight-line method.

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.

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.

Impairment testing 

The	Group	has	identified	the	following	indicators	of	impairment	at	30	June	2021:

• 

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

•  challenging market conditions in both Australia and internationally as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower oil 

prices continue to impact across the industry.

As a result, the Group assessed the recoverable amounts of the Vessels, Subsea and Project Logistics Cash-Generating Units 
(‘CGU’).

The	assessment	resulted	in	the	following	impairment	charges	included	in	profit	or	loss:

the inputs are considered Level 3. 
In our Subsea and Project Logistics calculations, the inputs are based on unobservable market data and internal estimates

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.

Industry Conditions

This	financial	year	has	seen	a	decline	in	overall	market	conditions	with	two	major	factors	contributing;

1.  COVID-19

2.  Oil Price 

Firstly, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created and continues to create uncertainty in world markets and the economy 
broadly.	In	our	industry	specifically,	the	impact	has	led	to	our	customers	delaying	and	or	cancelling	projects	resulting	in	a	
reduction in revenue. In addition, the logistics of managing and crewing vessels and projects around the globe has become more 
difficult	due	to	various	travel	and	movement	restrictions.	Please	refer	to	the	Review	of	Operations	for	a	more	detailed	summary	of	
the impact.

During	the	reporting	period	the	brent	oil	price	remained	stable	around	US$57	for	the	March	2021,	and	fluctuated	in	an	upwards	
range for the three months to 30 June 2021 with an end price of approximately US$77. While this upward trend is positive, there 
is still some uncertainty as to the levels and timing of the price settling on a longer term basis. 

Vessels

A	group	of	non-core	vessels	in	the	fleet	were	classified	as	being	held	for	sale	as	at	30	June	2020.	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	classified	as	held	for	sale.

Vessels - 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	core	fleet	was	disposed	of	in	one	single	transaction.	The	report	separately	
considers	the	classified	as	held	for	sale	fleet	and	core	fleet	and	provides	guidance	on	respective	en	bloc	discounts.	This	results	
in	a	lower	%	for	the	core	fleet	which	is	considered	appropriate	as	it	acknowledges	the	underlying	differences	in	the	fleets	with	the	
held	for	sale	fleet.	The	Board	have	decreased	this	discount	to	15.8%	for	the	current	period.	This	specific	rate	has	been	used	as	it	
falls	within	the	range	specified	by	the	independent	valuer	and	is	the	breakeven	point	at	which	there	is	nil	impairment.	In	the	June	
2020	impairment	assessment,	the	company	used	a	discount	of	19.6%,	representing	a	combined	discount	for	the	entire	fleet.

Consistent	with	previous	periods,	selling	costs	are	also	assumed	to	be	2%	of	the	vessel	sales	value.

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

• 

• 

• 

the movement in the oil price during the period

the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

the	adopted	%	being	within	the	range	provided	by	the	valuer	

Key assumptions and sensitivity

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.	Estimates	have	also	been	made	on	the	discount	to	the	independent	vessel	valuation	to	reflect	the	
amount	which	would	be	achieved	if	the	fleet	was	disposed	of	in	one	single	transaction,	plus	the	selling	costs	associated	with	the	
sale. 

The following provides information on the assumptions made in determining the fair value of the vessels, together with a 
sensitivity analysis showing the potential impact on the vessel carrying value based on the movement (increase or decrease) in 

the assumption.

Vessels	-	Classified	as	Held	for	Sale

The	recoverable	amount	of	the	non-core	vessels	was	determined	by	the	directors	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	the	non-core	vessels,	the	Company	has	taken	into	consideration	the	following	factors:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the current market values assessed by the independent specialist marine consultancy and broking company 

the	recent	market	evidence	of	deemed	distressed	sales	of	vessels	of	similar	age	and	classification

the forecast costs the Company would incur in holding the respective vessels 

the accelerated timing in which the Company wants to complete the sales

In updating the values at 30 June, the Group also took into account current vessel sales contracts, marketing activities and 
negotiations. 

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

Key	assumptions	and	sensitivity	–	Classified	as	Held	for	Sale	assets

The FVLCOD method requires an estimate of the current market value of the vessels and costs that would be associated with 
a disposal of the assets. In estimating the current market value of the vessels and the value to be achieved in an accelerated 
sale,	estimates	have	been	made	about	the	fair	value	to	be	realised.	If	the	value	to	be	realised	was	5%	higher	or	lower	than	the	
impairment on these vessels would decrease or increase by $1.2 million. 

Subsea

Items	of	plant	&	equipment	from	the	Subsea	CGU	were	classified	as	being	held	for	sale	as	at	30	June	2020.	This	classification	
has	resulted	in	two	separate	recoverable	value	assessments,	being	for	the	ongoing	business	and	the	plant	&	equipment	that	is	
held for sale at 30 June 2021 majority of the held for sale assets have been disposed.

Subsea - Continuing Operations

To	assess	the	recoverable	amount	of	the	Subsea	CGU,	a	ViU	assessment	was	performed	using	five	year	cash	flows	and	a	
terminal value.

There were no changes in the underlying assumptions used for the assessment as at 30 June 2020, except for expected 
cashflows	for	the	12	months	to	30	June	2021	being	updated	to	reflect	recent	forecasts.	In	determining	the	forecast	revenues	and	
operating	expenses,	consideration	has	been	given	to	the	following:	

•  current and potential new contracts for the Subsea business

•  current and expected tendering activities

•  expected Subsea services activity in the region

•  cost of running the business including labour and overheads

•  project work has been budgeted by applying estimated gross margins, based on historical results, to the estimated revenues 

of projects

• 

in	assessing	future	revenues,	potential	projects	are	identified	with	estimates	of	their	total	revenue.	A	likelihood	of	success	%	is	
then	applied	to	the	revenue	to	reflect	a	risk	weighted	likely	revenue	amount

Impairment of Non-Current Assets (continued)

A	discount	rate	of	10.9%	(2020:	10.6%)	has	been	used	for	ViU	assessments.	

In	the	budget	approved	by	the	board,	forecast	revenues	have	been	kept	consistent	for	the	FY22	year	to	reflect	the	continuing	
impact	of	the	COVID-19	pandemic.	In	FY23	and	FY24,	revenues	are	budgeted	to	increase	on	the	assumption	of	an	increase	in	
activity	in	these	years.	Nil	revenue	growth	in	FY25	and	FY26	has	been	assumed,	with	terminal	year	growth	of	2%	(2020:	2%)	
reflecting	a	long	term	inflation	rate	estimate.

Key assumptions and sensitivity

The recoverable value of the Subsea assets in the current year was assessed using a ViU approach.

The	estimation	of	future	cashflows	has	been	prepared	based	on	approved	group	budgets	with	estimates	and	assumptions	
regarding future revenue growth rates, operating margins and discount rates.

The following provides information on the assumptions made in determining the recoverable value of the assets, together with 
a sensitivity analysis showing the potential impact on the carrying value based on the movement (increase or decrease) in the 
relevant estimate or assumption.

Summary	of	borrowing	arrangements:	

(i) 

During	the	financial	year	and	in	conjunction	with	a	capital	raising,	MMA	restructured	its	syndicated	debt	facility.	As	part	
of the restructure, three of the banks exited the facility and total debt was reduced by approximately $91.9 million with 
repayments totalling $67.3 million to the exiting banks and $9.8 million to the remaining banks.

The	three	exiting	banks	also	agreed	to	debt	concessions	of	approximately	$14.8	million.	$0.4	million	of	refinancing	costs	
incurred	on	the	refinancing	have	been	offset	against	the	debt	concession	amount	and	are	reflected	in	‘Other	income’	in	the	
Consolidated	Statement	of	Profit	&	Loss.	

The	new	terms	of	the	syndicated	facility	are:	

•  Extension of the loan facility to January 2025

•  The	fixed	amortisation	profile	of	the	facility	is	now

•  $12.5	million	during	FY22

•  $15.0	million	during	FY23

•  $15.0	million	during	FY24

•  $7.5	million	during	FY25	and	the	outstanding	balance	on	31	January	2025.

•  Additional variable amortisation of the facility occurs from

•  proceeds	from	vessels	classified	as	held	for	sale

•  cash sweep of amounts above $70.0 million from December 2021 while the gross leverage ratio is above 3.5 

•  The	interest	rate	payable	is	a	base	rate	(LIBOR	for	US$	denominated	loans,	BBSY	for	A$	denominated	loans	plus	a

•  The interest payable on the US$ denominated loan is currently linked to LIBOR, and this will be phased out globally 

over the next few years. As such, MMA will engage with the banking syndicate to discuss the timeline for transition to 
a	new	interest	rate	mechanism	to	replace	LIBOR,	which	is	not	expected	to	happen	until	the	company’s	2022	financial	
year.	At	this	time,	the	change	in	the	interest	rate	benchmark	is	not	expected	to	have	any	material	effect	on	the	loan	
amount,	classification	of	the	loan	or	the	covenant	other	than	a	change	in	reference	rate.

•  The group has the right to pay dividends /conduct share buybacks once the gross leverage is below 3.5x. 

•  Resetting the loan covenants to align with the outlook of the business in the context of COVID-19

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

As at the end of the reporting period, the amounts owing under the facility comprises an A$ amount of $69.3 million and a 
US$	amount	of	$70.5	million.	The	US$	amount	qualifies	as	an	accounting	hedge	of	a	net	investment	in	a	foreign	operation	
and	the	resulting	foreign	exchange	movements	are	therefore	included	in	Other	Comprehensive	Income	offsetting	the	foreign	
exchange movements in the US$ denominated entities.

The	debt	restructure	resulted	in	a	substantial	change	to	the	terms	and	cashflows	of	the	facility	and	as	a	result	the

The Group has various legal claims currently in progress relating to contractual disputes. As disclosed to the ASX on 23 June 
2021,	a	final	arbitration	award	was	made	a	wholly	owned	subsidiary	of	MMA.	The	subsidiary	is	currently	taking	Singaporean	legal	
advice regarding next steps which may include applying to the Supreme Court of Singapore for orders setting aside the Final 
Award.

Significant	Estimates

In	the	current	year,	the	Group	has	a	total	provision	of	$11.9	million	(2020:	$5.6	million),	with	an	additional	$6.4	million	in	provisions	
raised	during	the	year.	These	amounts	have	been	estimated	by	the	directors	as	a	possible	outflow	that	may	be	required	to	settle	
these	legal	claims.	As	these	legal	claims	have	not	been	finalised,	this	provision	is	only	an	estimate	and	the	actual	liability	may	
differ	depending	on	the	outcome	of	these	hearings.

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.

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.

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)

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.

During the current reporting period the company completed a capital raising totalling $80.0 million resulting in the issuing of 
2,667,570,000 additional shares. The proceeds were used for partial repayments of the group’s syndicated debt facility and 
working capital. 

A share consolidation was completed during February 2021 through the conversion of every ten shares held by a shareholder 
into one share. This reduced the number of shares on issue by 3,223,972,000 shares. 

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

(i) 

includes	non-controlling	interest	equity	balance	of	$0.018	million	(2020:	$0.019	million).

Share Rights

As	at	30	June	2021,	executives	and	employees	held	rights	over	14,799,157	ordinary	shares	(2020:	35,188,068).	

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.

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	or	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)

4.4  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	the	2020	financial	year.

The	capital	structure	of	the	Group	consists	of	net	debt	(borrowings	as	detailed	in	note	3.9	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 leverage ratio 
(measured	as	debt	to	property	plant	&	equipment)	to	manage	its	capital.	The	ratio	is	monitored	on	a	monthly	basis	by	the	Board	
and management. 

Leverage Ratio

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Debt	is	defined	as	gross	long	and	short-term	borrowings,	as	detailed	in	note	3.9.

Property,	plant	and	equipment	includes	all	fixed	assets	owned	by	the	group,	as	detailed	in	note	3.5.	

The	significant	improvement	in	the	capital	ratio	during	the	year	is	due	to	the	proceeds	from	the	capital	raising	being	used	to	repay	
a portion of the debt facility. In addition, as part of the debt restructure, A$14.8 million of debt concessions were obtained from 
the banking syndicate, further reducing the Net debt amount.

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.

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.

5.2  Share Based Payments (continued)

For the Series 5 issue to Key Management Personnel, the number of rights vesting are subject to the company share price 
reaching	a	minimum	level	of	$0.65,	with	pro	rata	vesting	on	a	straight	line	basis	up	to	100%	vesting	if	the	share	price	is	$0.96	or	
higher.

For	the	Series	6	issue	to	other	employees,	30%	relate	to	a	retention	hurdle	with	the	participant	required	to	be	employed	by	the	
Group	at	the	end	of	the	three-year	vesting	period	and	the	remaining	70%	are	subject	to	the	same	share	price	hurdle	as	Series	5.

For	the	Series	7	issue	to	Key	Management	Personnel,	30%	relate	to	a	retention	hurdle	with	the	participant	required	to	be	
employed	by	the	Group	at	the	end	of	the	three	year	vesting	period	and	the	remaining	70%	vests	if	the	share	price	is	larger	than	
or equal to $0.90.

Please refer to the Remuneration Report on pages 42 to 54 for further details of Performance Rights issued to executives and 
employees.

Fair value of share rights granted during the year

Monte Carlo simulation model. 

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

Movement in share rights during the period

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.

(191)

The Group owns 80 percent of the equity shares of MMA Global Projects Pte Ltd and has the power to appointment and remove 
the directors of the company. Therefore the directors of the Group concluded that the Group has control over MMA Global 
Projects	Pte	Ltd,	and	the	company	is	consolidated	in	these	financial	statements.

On acquisition of the company in December 2019, the transaction agreement included a contingent consideration arrangement 
to pay the non-controlling interests up to an additional $0.8 million Singapore Dollars on achievement of gross margins in future 
years. As the business was in the early stages of development with no assets or contracts at the time, the Group estimated the 
fair value of this consideration to be nil. 

During the year, the gross margins required to trigger the earn out were monitored and at June 2021 they were assessed to have 
been met. As a result a liability with fair value of $0.6 million Singapore dollars was recognised in respect of cash payable to the 
vendors based on the expected probable outcome, and this amount was paid in full in June 2021.

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.

Market risk

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:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

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

The	following	table	details	the	Group’s	sensitivity	to	a	10%	increase	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.

(i) 

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	AUD:USD	exchange	rate	increased	significantly	during	the	period,	from		$0.69	to	$0.77.	This	has	resulted	in	the	current	
period having larger exchange movements on items within Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows.

Interest rate risk management

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.	At	this	point	in	the	interest	rate	
cycle the Group is unhedged.

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	$2,705,774	(2020:	decrease	/	increase	by	$2,705,774).	The	decrease	in	the	

exposure to interest rates on its variable borrowings is attributable to the $91m reduction in the loan facility during the current 
financial	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 credit worthiness of each customer is assessed to ensure minimal default risk. 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 requested 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.

Debtor	concentration	risk	is	low	with	the	top	three	customers	of	the	Group	making	up	only	20%	(2020:20%)	of	the	total	debtor	
balance.	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.

The	Directors	consider	that	the	carrying	amounts	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	recognised	in	the	consolidated	financial	
statements approximate their fair values.

The	fair	values	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	are	determined	as	follows:

•  The	fair	values	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	with	standard	terms	and	conditions	and	traded	on	active	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  Operating lease arrangements

Operating leases, in which the Group is the lessor, relate to the hire of vessels owned by the Group with lease terms of between 
one	month	to	five	years,	with	a	range	of	one	day	to	five	years	extension	options.	

During the year the Group has entered a contract to sublease a substantial portion of the Company’s shipyard facility in Batam, 
Indonesia.	The	sublease	commenced	on	15	April	2021	and	is	for	a	firm	period	of	three	years	(subject	to	the	option	to	purchase	
detailed below). The total rent payable under the sublease will total A$6.5 million should the lease continue for the full period. 
Further, as part of the overall transaction, MMA has granted WASCO an option to purchase the Company’s interest in the Batam 
Facility for a purchase price of US$15M. The option to purchase may be exercised by WASCO at any time up to 12 March 
2024. WASCO will pay MMA a fee of US$1.5m in the event that WASCO does not exercise the option, and a bank guarantee for 
US$1.5m has been received in relation to this non-exercise fee. This is subject to none of the waiver conditions being met. The 
sublease will terminate upon exercise of the option.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED OF 30 JUNE 20215.  Other Notes (continued)

5.10  Contingent Liabilities

As previously reported, the Company advised that it was evaluating its casual employment arrangements to determine whether 
the Company had any contingent liability arising out of the decision in WorkPac Pty Ltd v Rossato [2020] FCAFC 84 (“Rossato”). 
Since	then:

•  The	Federal	Government	has	introduced	legislation	which	defines	a	casual	worker	on	the	basis	of	their	express	contract	of	

employment	rather	than	subsequent	conduct	and	also	enables	employers	to	set-off	any	casual	loadings	paid	to	workers	who	
subsequently pursue claims that they are permanent employees [the Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia’s Jobs and 
Economic	Recovery)	Act	2021	(Cth)];	and	

•  The	High	Court	of	Australia	has	overturned	the	Rossato	ruling	in	its	recent	decision	on	4	August	2021	[WorkPac	Pty	Ltd	v	

Rossato	&	Ors	(2021)	HCA	23].

Based on the above, the Company has assessed that it has no contingent liability in this regard.

In addition to the above, the Company has recently received a claim from a casual employee for long service leave (LSL) 
entitlements	whilst	engaged	under	the	terms	of	the	MMA	Offshore	Vessel	Operations	Enterprise	Agreement	2017	(“EBA”),	who	
is of the belief that their LSL entitlements lie with the Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA) (“LSL Act”). The Company is resisting 
the claim on the basis that the relevant casual employee’s prior periods of casual service would not be regarded as “continuous 
service” for the purposes of the EBA nor “continuous employment” for the purposes of the LSL Act. The Company is currently 
evaluating its long service leave arrangements for its casual employees to determine whether the Company has any contingent 
liability in this regard, including any “claw-back” for the long service leave entitlements which have already been paid by way of 
casual leave loading.

Guarantees given to third parties in respect of dealings, are in the normal course of business. Total amount of the guarantee 
facility	is	$20.0	million	(2020:	$20.0	million)	with	total	drawn	amounts	of	$2.8	million	(2020:	$2.7	million).

5.11  Events After the Reporting Period

There	has	not	been	any	matter	or	circumstance	that	occurred	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	consolidated	entity	in	future	financial	years.

5.12  Other Accounting Policies

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board	(the	AASB)	that	are	relevant	to	its	operations	and	effective	for	the	current	year.	

The	accounting	policies	and	methods	of	computation	adopted	in	the	preparation	of	the	financial	report	are	consistent	with	those	
adopted	and	disclosed	in	the	company’s	2021	annual	financial	report	for	the	financial	year	ended	30	June	2021.	The	accounting	
policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

5.  Other Notes (continued)

5.12  Other Accounting Policies (continued)

Other	new	and	revised	standards	and	amendments	thereof	and	interpretations	effective	for	the	current	year	that	are	relevant	to

guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

Except for the amendments to AASB Practice Statement 2 (which provide non-mandatory 
guidance	and	therefore	do	not	have	an	effective	date),	the	amendments	are	effective	for	
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The amendments to the individual 
Standards may be applied early, separately from the amendments to the other Standards, 
where feasible.

The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the amendments will have a material 
impact on the Group, but may change the disclosure of accounting policies included in the 
financial	statements.
