Chairman’s Year in Review 

Teresa Handicott 

Solid growth 
through our key markets

Your board continues to prioritise PWR’s strategy in 
every decision it makes and management is focussed on 
execution of the strategic action plan. Over the last year, 
the company has achieved significant goals under all of 
its four strategic pillars.

Excellence in Motorsports
New technology has been developed and deployed with 
customers. We are confident that this technology will 
deliver increased revenue over time.

PWR now delivers electronic cooling into most 
motorsports categories including electric vehicles.

Engineering Excellence
PWR’s new centre of excellence, designated for 
research and development, F1 and specialty builds 
has been completed and is operational adjacent to the 
original manufacturing site at Ormeau.

Our IP strategies are constantly reviewed to ensure 
appropriate protection and quality control.

Significant research and investment is ongoing in next 
generation technology including 3D printing and CT 
scanning.

Growth Ready
Capability at every level of operations from the factory 
floor to senior management has been strengthened. The 
company has recently announced a $10M capital program 
which will support all four strategic pillars.

C&R continues to be a priority. The newly commissioned 
furnace and second line provides capacity for growth, 
especially in OEM programs and the US aftermarket. 
It also provides the ability to access a lower tax regime 
and assists in managing currency risks. 

While the exit from non-core and underperforming 
businesses has affected C&R in FY18, it positions the 
Group to focus on capability in strategically important 
opportunities going forward such as OEM programs 
and the US aftermarket.

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS 
2018 has been a milestone year for PWR in many respects 
and on behalf of the Board, I am delighted to present to 
you PWR’s 2018 annual report. 

FY18 has delivered solid bottom line growth through 
our key markets while laying down the foundation for 
future growth. 

The Group delivered an 18.5% increase in statutory net 
profit after tax (NPAT) of $11m which is a record for PWR. 
Underlying NPAT was higher at $12.1 million after excluding 
one off items at C&R including the disposal and write down 
of assets held for sale, the payout of an underperforming 
distribution agreement and the reduction of net deferred 
tax balances following the lowering of the US federal 
corporate tax rate.

Improved working capital management has resulted in 
a strong cash balance at 30 June 2018 of over $12m with 
nil net debt.

Considering the results and continued balance sheet 
strength, the Board has declared a final dividend of 
6.2 cents per share which is an increase of over 30% 
on the prior year final dividend of 4.7 cents per share. 
The full year dividend for FY18 increased to 7.3 cents 
per share, up from 5.6 cents per share in the prior year.

Annual Report 2018  PWR Holdings Limited

Revenue Diversification
The company’s strategy is to achieve significant revenue 
diversification over time. In FY18 contribution to revenue 
from OEM programs has increased and we are confident 
of ongoing OEM opportunities.

Electronic cooling technologies are being developed by 
PWR and the company is pursuing opportunities in this 
growing market.

The investment made in people, plant and equipment 
over the past 2 years has started to deliver the results we 
expected. We will continue to make these investments and 
the announcement of a $10 million capital expenditure 
plan is evidence of this. The investment in our key asset, 
our people, is ongoing.

The past year has been successful and rewarding for 
staff, management and directors and the culture of the 
company and the attitude of all employees is evident 
in these results. I take this opportunity to thank all 
employees at PWR.

On behalf of your Board, I would like to thank all 
shareholders for their continued support of PWR.

Although the transition at C&R has taken longer than 
we would have liked, it has been successfully completed 
and C&R are now focussed on the core business and in 
a position to grow their revenue. The full manufacturing 
production facilities commenced operation in February 
2018 and with double the throughput capacity of 
Australian operations, provides a solid platform for 
future growth.

At a consolidated Group level, revenue growth has been 
positively impacted by net foreign exchange movements 
with the exchange rates between the GBP and USD to the 
AUD being relatively stable during FY18.

Motorsport has continued to be the major category and 
this is expected to continue until the OEM and emerging 
technology segments sales increase. This is expected to 
commence at the end of FY19 and FY20. 

The 2018 financial year has seen several records 
for PWR including:

 –
 –
 –
 –

a record statutory net profit after tax of $11m;
a record underlying net profit of $12.1m;
a record cash on hand balance of $12m; and
a record full year dividend of 7.3 cents per share.

This performance has been due to three main factors:

 –

 – our customers who continue to push technological 
boundaries and choose us to be their preferred 
supplier for cooling products;
the investment we have made (and continue to make) 
in staff, plant and machinery; and
the outstanding performance of all staff across the 
entire company who have contributed significantly 
and whom I thank sincerely. 

 –

REVENUE
Revenue for FY18 was up significantly in Europe (27%) 
and Australia (20%). This continued growth was offset by 
the reduction in revenue at C&R as the Group transitions 
C&R’s operations to a stand alone manufacturing facility 
and exits from non-core and underperforming operations.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Significant Items – C&R
As a result of a review of C&R’s operations, several aspects 
of the business were identified as being non-core or 
underperforming. These were separately classified as 
“assets held for sale” in FY17. During FY18, these assets 
were either sold or written off resulting in a one-off loss 
of $855,000 ($633,000 after tax).

In addition, a non-performing distribution agreement was 
terminated at a cost of $412,000 ($305,000 after tax).

The US federal income tax rate changed during FY18 from 
35% to 21% which resulted in a write down of the net 
deferred tax asset of $176,000.

The installation, commissioning and commencement of 
the furnace and production line has been an important 
milestone providing several benefits including redundancy 
and additional throughput capacity. 

As noted previously, several significant items have been 
addressed at C&R ensuring they are well placed to evolve 
and adapt for the future. The transition to a stand alone 
manufacturing facility has been a substantial milestone 
which is a credit to the hard work done by the C&R team 
with support from Australia when required. 

PWR Australia and Europe
PWR continues to supply the majority of motorsport 
categories with cooling technology and this continues to 
be our primary category as noted in the analysis above. 
The Australian and European operations have performed 
exceptionally well and their growth has compensated for 
the hiatus in the USA while C&R completed their transition. 

Cashflow
Our working capital management has improved at 30 June 
2018 which, combined with higher revenues, has resulted 
in a cash balance of over $12m at 30 June 2018 with nil net 
debt. We are conscious of the need to balance returning 
funds to shareholders and retaining funds to finance 
future growth plans and opportunities and believe we 
have achieved the optimal outcome for both shareholders 
and expected business requirements.

Our EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was 101.8% based on 
statutory EBITDA. The largely non-cash impact of the C&R 
significant items taken to account in FY18 have distorted 
this but underlying EBITDA to cash conversion was still 
an impressive 96% which is an improvement over FY17.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS
The investment in expected growth as well as new 
equipment also introduces advanced technologies into 
our manufacturing processes to ensure our technology 
remains at the forefront and we are able to push the 
boundaries of our cooling solutions for both existing 
customers as well as potential new customers.

To pick the most opportune time to introduce continually 
evolving technologies always has a degree of risk but we 
believe the time is right for us to commence this process. 
We are looking at doing this in conjunction with partners 
who are experts in their relevant fields which can also 
potentially lead to mutually beneficial outcomes and open 
new categories and additional revenue opportunities 
for PWR.

These advanced manufacturing technologies include, 
but are not limited to, 3D printing, laser cutters and CT 
scanners.

Our new innovative cooling products, which are 
complementary to our existing products, are currently 
being tested by specific customers and we expect to 
release these to our broader customer base in late FY19.

OEM PROGRAMMES
The OEM programmes continue to be a focus primarily at 
C&R who now have the capability to implement these on 
an ongoing basis. We have increased our number of OEM 
programmes by 2 from FY17 taking our total to 5 at 30 June 
2018. These programmes are and will continue to be 
important to our future growth especially at C&R.

THE FUTURE
Whilst we are satisfied with our past performance we are 
all focussed on the next 2 years during which we have an 
ambitious capital investment and business growth plan. 

As more power is being required from devices with smaller 
footprints, innovative cooling requirements will also 
increase. Advanced bespoke solutions are becoming more 
common and we believe we are well placed to provide 
these solutions.

We continue to see opportunities particularly in 
motorsport and emerging technologies. In order to ensure 
we successfully deliver to both our customer expectations 
and our high standards, we continue to invest in people 
and our targeted recruitment program is ongoing. Staff 
numbers are now in excess of 235 globally and this is 
expected to increase progressively over FY19. 

The strategy to diversify our revenue streams continues 
and we expect to start seeing the results of this towards 
the end of FY19. Exchange rates will continue to affect 
results and this is inherent in the nature of our business 
considering the location of the majority of our customers 
and the location of our cost base.

Thank you to customers, shareholders and staff for your 
continued support through FY18. Having now started FY19, 
I am looking forward to working together with PWR and 
C&R staff this next year and to exceed all our expectations.

Revenue 
The Group achieved overall revenue growth of 7.8% compared to the prior corresponding period. Organic revenue growth 
of 6.5% was supplemented by exchange rate movements of 1.3%. 

The above growth is after the decrease in C&R revenue of 19%, which was expected, as a result of the exit from non-
core business operations and the restructuring of their operations. Compensating growth came from PWR Europe sales 
increasing by 27% and PWR Australia sales increasing 20% compared to the prior corresponding period. With reporting in 
Australian dollars, the exchange rate has had a lesser impact than previous years with the GB pound being 4.7% stronger 
at 30 June 2018 and the US dollar being 4.1% stronger compared to the prior period. However, average rates during the 
financial year saw a US dollar being 2.9% weaker but the pound 3.1% stronger.

The net foreign exchange impact was a favourable effect on revenue for the year of $615,395.

EBITDA
The higher EBITDA in FY18 compared to the prior corresponding period was mainly due to:

 – Overall revenue growth at consistent margins;
 – Production and manufacturing costs increasing consistently with sales volume increases; and
 – Administration and overhead costs remaining at consistent levels supporting the higher revenue and margins 

generated. These costs also included non-recurring expenditure relating to the termination of a distribution agreement 
at C&R.

Net profit after tax 
Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $11.00 million (2017: $9.28 million), including the 
recognition of $1.1 million (after tax) of one-off expenses in relation to the changes to Federal corporate tax rates in the USA, 
the loss on sale and write down of the C&R non core non cooling business held for sale at 30 June 2017 and costs associated 
with the termination of a distribution agreement at C&R.

Operating cash flow
The Group continued its strong cash conversion rate with FY18 operating cash flow of $16.6 million, a conversion of 101.8% 
from EBITDA. This high EBITDA to cash conversion is due to:

 –
 –

Improved working capital management; and
The flow on effect of the non-cash impact of the loss on sale and write down of assets held for sale at C&R.

Foreign currency
The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with consolidated revenue generated in various currencies 
as outlined below:

Review of operating segments
The Group has two operating segments, PWR Performance Products which comprises its Australian and European 
operations, and C&R which comprises its USA operations.

The PWR Performance Products segment generated external revenue of $39.07 million (2017: $31.78 million), primarily 
arising from increased market penetration in the motorsports sector in the United Kingdom and Europe.

The C&R segment generated external revenue of $12.82 million (2017: $16.34 million). This decrease was as a result of 
exiting non-core products and transitioning C&R to a stand alone manufacturing business unit.

Review of principal businesses
During the year ended 30 June 2018, in addition to the items outlined above, the Group:

 – Was selected as cooling assembly supplier for a further two niche OEM programs in Europe, with one commencing 

production during the year;

 – Continued other OEM development and prototype work;
 – Completion of the construction and commissioning of a new aluminium heat exchanger core production line at C&R in 
the USA, which has been operational from H2 FY18. This has increased overall production capacity, allowing longer run 
production programs as well as releasing production capacity at the existing Australian facility to focus on research and 
development, bespoke and specialised production and the domestic aftermarket; and

 – Completed the exit of the non-core business at C&R to increase available capacity and focus resources on supporting 

and developing our core business.

Balance sheet management
The balance sheet remains strong with cash of $12.1 million (2017: $9.06 million) and zero net debt. 

Working capital management has improved with the working capital cycle reducing from 150 days at 30 June 2017 to 122 
days at 30 June 2018 contributing to a higher year end cash balance.

Capital expenditure for the year was $5.2 million (FY17: $3.87 million) including $2.2 million (FY17: $1.92 million) for the C&R 
heat exchanger core production line.

operation.

7.  LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Group will continue its strategy of increasing profitability and market share within existing markets and pursue 
opportunities in emerging markets during the next financial year. 

Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations 
in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result 
in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

During the financial year, the Group paid insurance premiums in respect of a contract to insure the Directors and Executives 
of the Group against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The insurance contract prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of liability and the amount of the premium.

B.  Remuneration Governance
The following shows the Board’s framework to establish and review remuneration for KMP and employees of the Group:

Board

Approves the overall remuneration framework and policy, ensuring it is fair, transparent and aligned 
with long term outcomes

Nomination and 
Remuneration 
Committee (“NRC”)

NRC is delegated to review and make recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies for 
non-executive directors, senior executives and all employees including incentive arrangements and 
awards.  
The NRC can appoint remuneration consultants and other external advisors to provide independent 
advice

Managing Director

Provides all relevant information to the NRC to facilitate the NRC making recommendations to the 
Board on remuneration decisions

C.  Non-Executive Director Remuneration

C1. Policy
A copy of the remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors is available on the Group’s website. The Board’s Non-
Executive Director remuneration policy is to:

 – Provide a clear fee arrangement that avoids potential conflicts of interest associated with performance incentives,
 – Remunerate Directors at market rates for their commitment and responsibilities, and 
 – Obtain independent external remuneration advice when required.

Non-Executive Directors receive remuneration for undertaking their role. They do not participate in the Group’s incentive 
plans or receive any variable remuneration. Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to retirement payments.

The aggregate Non-Executive Director remuneration cap approved by shareholders in 2016 is $750,000 per annum 
(inclusive of superannuation contributions). The Board determines the distribution of Non-Executive Director fees within 
the approved remuneration cap.

D1. Remuneration policy for senior executives
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for the Managing Director and other senior 
executives is:

 – Provide for both fixed and performance based remuneration, 
 – Provide a remuneration package based on an annual review of employment market conditions, the Group’s 

performance and individual performance, and

 – Obtain independent external remuneration advice when required.

The remuneration framework for senior executives comprises two elements:

1. Fixed remuneration; and

2. “At risk” or performance linked remuneration.

D1.1 Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration is a function of size and complexity of the role, individual responsibilities, experience, skills and market 
pay levels. This consists of cash salary, salary sacrifice items, employer superannuation, annual leave provisions and any 
fringe benefits tax charges related to employee benefits. Superannuation is paid at the relevant statutory contribution limit. 
The opportunity to salary sacrifice superannuation benefits on a tax-compliant basis is available upon request.

The Board determines an appropriate level of fixed remuneration for the senior executives with recommendations from the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually following performance reviews at the end of the financial year and takes into 
account the role and accountabilities, relevant market benchmarks and attraction, retention and motivation of executives in 
the context of the talent market.

The Managing Director and senior executives did not receive increases to their fixed remuneration during the Reporting 
Period. 

D1.2 Performance linked remuneration

Short-term incentive plan
The Managing Director and senior executives are eligible to participate in the Group’s short-term incentive plan. 

Under the plan, participants have an opportunity to receive an annual cash bonus calculated as a percentage of their total 
fixed remuneration (“TFR”) and conditional on the achievement of short-term financial and non-financial performance 
measures at a corporate and individual level. For the year ended 30 June 2018, the operation of the short term-incentive 
plan had a NPAT target, established by the Board at the commencement of the Reporting Period, to trigger its operation. 
The NPAT target for FY18 was achieved and short-term incentives were awarded to the Managing Director and senior 
executives as outlined below.

Long-term incentive plan
Shareholders approved the implementation of a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) at the 2016 Annual General Meeting 
(“AGM”). 

The LTIP is an equity-based incentive designed to provide participants with the incentive to deliver growth in shareholder 
value. Senior Executives receive performance rights (“Rights”) on an annual basis under the Performance Rights Plan, 
subject to the approval of the Board. The Managing Director is entitled to receive Performance Rights on an annual 
basis under the Performance Rights Plan, subject to approval of shareholders. A grant of Rights was made to the Senior 
Executives and Managing Director in the 2018 financial year following approval of Shareholders at the 2016 AGM.

Rights convert to ordinary shares in the Company on a one-for-one basis at the end of the three-year performance period 
depending on the extent to which performance hurdles are achieved and service conditions met.

The performance hurdles are the achievement of Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) ranking criteria relative to the TSR of 
constituents of the S&P/ASX300 (excluding mining and exploration entities) and growth in annual Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) 
relative to a target set by the Board. Participants must remain continually employed with the Company until the date of 
vesting. Vesting on each tranche is as follows:

TSR Ranking (50%)

EPS Growth (50%)

The percentage of Performance Rights linked to TSR will be 
50%. TSR is calculated by an independent third party,  
comparing the TSR percentile rank that the Company holds 
relative to all S&P ASX 300 constituent companies (excluding 
Energy sector (oil, gas and coal)) for the relevant 3-year 
Performance Period.

The percentage of the Performance Rights linked to the EPS 
hurdle will be 50%. Vesting is determined by the growth in 
EPS from the financial year immediately prior to the start of 
the Performance Period (base year) to the end of the third 
year of the Performance Period, measured against specific 
EPS targets outlined below.

TSR Ranking

Vesting outcome

EPS

TSR is 50% or less 

Nil vesting

TSR is more than 50%  
but less than 75%

20% and 99%

4% but less than 12%

Rateable vesting between  
50% and 99%

TSR is 75% or more

100% vesting

EPS growth is 12% or more

100% vesting

Rights that do not vest at the end of the three-year period lapse, unless the Board in its discretion determines otherwise. 
Upon cessation of employment prior to the vesting date, Rights will be forfeited and lapse. Rights do not entitle holders to 
dividends that are declared during the vesting period. The Board believes that performance hurdles, in combination, serve 
to align the interests of the individual senior executives with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.

E.  Company performance and remuneration outcomes
The various components of the way the Group remunerates key management personnel have been structured to support 
the Group’s strategy and business objectives which in turn are designed to generate shareholder wealth. 

When setting targets and determining the quantum of the remuneration increases and the proportion of fixed and 
performance linked remuneration components, the Board refers to remuneration benchmarking reports provided by 
independent sources and remuneration consultants from time to time. 

The at risk component (short-term incentive plan and long-term incentive plan) of the remuneration structure intends 
to reward achievement against Group and individual performance measures over one year and three-year timeframes, 
respectively.

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2018

16.  REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)

L.  Key management personnel transactions
KMP, or their related parties, may hold positions in other entities that result in them having control, or joint control, over the 
financial or operating policies of those entities.

These entities may transact with the Group. The terms and conditions of the transactions with KMP and their related 
parties were no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be expected to be available, on similar 
transactions to non-key management personnel related entities on an arms length basis.

From time to time, directors of the Group, or their related entities, may purchase goods from the Group. These purchases 
are on the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Group employees or customers and are trivial or 
domestic in nature.

This report is made with a resolution of the directors:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

(b) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented 
in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional 
currency. 

(c) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements 
requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. The estimates and associated 
assumptions are based on historical experience and 
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances, the results of which form the 
basis of making judgments about carrying values of the 
entities within the Group. Actual results may differ from 
these estimates.

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 
and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements, estimates and 
assumptions in applying accounting policies that have the 
most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements is included in the Notes 
C3 (Inventories) and C7 (Intangible assets).

A3 Significant accounting policies

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of each CGU was based on its value in use, determined by 
discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of each CGU. The carrying amount of each CGU 
was determined to be less than its recoverable amount and accordingly, no impairment loss was recognised. 

Value in use is calculated based on the present value of the cash flow projections over a five year period and include a 
terminal value at the end of year five. The cash flow projections over the five year period are based on the Group’s budget 
for 2019 and growth over the forecast periods based on the Group’s business plans and management’s assessment of the 
impacts of underlying economic conditions, past performance and other factors on each CGU’s financial performance. For 
the C&R CGU, the cashflow projections include management’s estimate of the expected growth from C&R’s involvement 
in OEM programs as a cooling assembly supplier as well as growth into the aftermarket. The long term growth rate used 
in calculating the terminal value is based on long term inflation estimates for the country and industry in which each 
CGU operates.

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION C  OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
The cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate based on a weighted average cost of 
capital adjusted for country and industry specific risks associated with each CGU.

Key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use were:

PWR Performance Products

Discount rate – pre tax

Terminal value growth rate

Revenue – compound annual growth rate

C&R 

Discount rate – pre tax

Terminal value growth rate

Revenue – compound annual growth rate

D3 Share based payments
During the year the Board granted performance rights to employees under the terms of the Performance Rights Plan (the 
Plan) approved at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 21 October 2016.

Under the Plan, the Board may issue employees conditional performance rights for no consideration. Subject to the 
achievement of vesting conditions, the performance rights entitle the employee to receive ordinary shares in the Company 
at no cost.

Vesting of the performance rights approved during the year is subject to meeting a 3 year service condition and 
achievement of performance hurdles (based on either an EPS growth target or total shareholder return (TSR) ranking). The 
performance period for the rights issued is from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020.

158,364 performance rights were issued to key management personnel during the year with 50% subject to the EPS 
performance hurdle and 50% subject to the TSR performance hurdle. At 30 June 2018, 117,455 of these performance rights 
remain on issue. 

In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, the grant date fair values of the rights issued will be recognised as an 
expense over the vesting period. An expense of $75,518 (2017 : $48,939) was recognised during the year and included in 
“employee expenses” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Measurement of fair values
The fair value of the TSR component of the performance rights has been measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair 
value of the EPS component of the performance rights has been measured using the Black Scholes formula.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments were as 
follows:

Fair value at grant date

Share price at grant date

Exercise price

Expected volatility

Risk free rate

Expected life

Expected dividends

SECTION H  OTHER INFORMATION

H1 Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

credit risk
 –
 –
liquidity risk
 – market risk

The note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and 
processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital.

Risk management framework
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk 
management framework. 

The Group’s risk management activities are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management activities are 
reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s operations. The Group aims to develop a disciplined and 
constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. 

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, 
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of 
the industry and country in which customers operate.

Management assesses each new customer for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms 
and conditions are offered. 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at 
the end of the reporting period was as follows.

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade and other receivables

Cash and cash equivalents
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $12,110,095 at 30 June 2018 (2017: $9,063,782), which represents its maximum 
credit exposure on these assets. The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, 
which are rated A to AA-, based on independent rating agency ratings.

Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, 
management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the country in 
which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.

Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 30 days are still collectible in full, based 
on historic payment behaviour and analysis of customer credit risk.

No impairment losses were recognised in respect of trade and other receivables during the year (2017: $80,740). 

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial 
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to 
ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and 
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit : (refer Note F1)

 – A$500,000 trade finance facility; 
 – A$5,000,000 asset finance facility; 
 – USD$4,000,000 foreign currency advance facility;
 – A$50,000 corporate credit card facility; and
 – USD$100,000 corporate credit card facility.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the 
Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage 
and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on its financial assets and liabilities arising from sales, purchases and borrowings 
that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, being the Australian 
dollar (AUD), Pound Sterling (GBP) and US dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions are denominated are 
primarily AUD, GBP and USD. The Group uses derivative instruments to manage currency risk.

Under the Group’s financial risk management policies, the Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage its 
foreign currency risks. There are no derivative financial instruments that were unsettled at year end (2017 : Nil). During the 
year ended 30 June 2018, the Group recognised $236,000 in realised losses on settled derivatives (2017 : Nil). This has been 
included in finance costs in the income statement.

Exposure to currency risk

is as follows:

Sensitivity analysis
A strengthening (weakening) of the GBP or USD against the AUD at 30 June would have affected the measurement of 
financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and increased or (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the 
amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be 
reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest 
rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. The analysis is performed on the same 
basis for 2017, albeit that the reasonably possible foreign exchange rate variances were different, as indicated below.

H4 Subsequent events
The Board declared a fully franked final ordinary dividend of 6.20 cents per share. The financial effect of the 2018 declared 
final dividend has not been brought to account in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018. 

Other than the matter noted above, there has not arisen in the interval since the end of the financial year and the date 
of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the 
Group, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group 
in future financial years.

H5 New accounting standards

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2018 
and earlier adoption is permitted, however the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in 
preparing these consolidated financial statements. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group plans 
to apply AASB 9 initially in its financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019. AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of 
financial instruments, a new ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model for calculating impairment on financial assets and new 
general hedge accounting requirements.

The Group has undertaken an impact assessment regarding the adoption of AASB 9. Given the Group does not hold 
complex financial instruments or long dated receivables, it does not expect any material impact on its financial statements 
on application on 1 July 2018.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. 
It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including AASB 18 Revenue. AASB 15 is effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group plans to adopt AASB 15 in its consolidated 
financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019.

Under AASB 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the 
goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

The Group recognises revenue from the following sources:

Sale of manufactured products;
Sale of manufactured tooling fixtures which are used in the process of manufacturing products;

 –
 –
 – Provision of wind tunnel testing services; and
 – Recovery of freight and sale of scrap raw material.

The Group’s current accounting policies for the recognition and measurement of revenue are disclosed in Note B2. The 
Group has completed an assessment of the application of AASB 15 and does not believe the new requirements will have 
a material impact on the financial results or the position of the Group on adoption on 1 July 2018.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION H  OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset 
representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. 
There are optional exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low value items. Lessor accounting remain similar to the 
current standard, ie. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities that 
apply AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial application of AASB 16. The Group 
plans to apply AASB 16 initially in its financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2020.

The Group has started an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements, with the most 
significant impact identified so far being that the Group will recognise new assets and liabilities for its operating leases of 
factory and office facilities. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as AASB 16 replaces 
the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease 
liabilities. The Group has not yet decided whether it will use the optional exemptions. No significant impact is expected for 
the Group’s finance leases.

The Group has not yet quantified the impact on its reported assets and liabilities of adoption of AASB 16. The quantitative 
effect will depend on, inter alia, the transition method chosen, the extent to which the Group uses the practical expedients 
and recognition exemptions, and any additional leases that the Group enters into. The Group expects to disclose its 
transition approach and quantitative information before adoption.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1  Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the 
entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which 
control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, 
are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the 
investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as 
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

2  Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Groups’ entities at exchange 
rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to 
the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional 
currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition 
are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign 
operations are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign 
currency translation reserve in equity.

3  Revenue
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable, net of returns and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of 
ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible 
return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount 
of revenue can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised in profit or loss on completion of the service.

4  Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount 
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past 
services provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Long-term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefits that employees have 
earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. 
Re- measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 

PWR Holdings Limited  Annual Report 2018

53

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Share based payment transactions
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an expense, with a 
corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The 
amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market 
performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the 
number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. 

Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and 
when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of 
the reporting date, then they are discounted.

Defined contribution funds
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

5  Finance income and finance costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and changes in the fair value of derivative financial 
instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the 
effective interest method. 

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments at 
fair value through profit or loss. Interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income 
or finance costs depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Income Tax

6 
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised 
in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, or in 
other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the balance date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any 
tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following 
temporary differences are not provided for: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that 
affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and difference relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will 
probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of 
realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on 
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities 
will be realised simultaneously.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions 
and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate 
for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. 
This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New 
information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax 
liabilities; such as changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related 
tax benefit will be realised.

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

Inventories

7 
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the 
inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and 
condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production 
overheads based on normal operating capacity. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion 
and selling expenses.

8  Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets 
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working 
condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they 
are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain 
or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software 
that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate 
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from 
disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income in profit 
or loss.

Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the 
expenditure will flow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using 
the straight-line and/or diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. 
Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that 
the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. 

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Plant and equipment

Motor vehicles

2018

2017

2-7 years

2-7 years

4-6 years

4-6 years

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

Intangible assets and goodwill

Goodwill
Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the 
acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. At the acquisition 
date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s 
synergies. Goodwill is not amortised.

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Trademarks
Separately acquired trademarks are measured initially at cost of acquisition. Trademarks acquired in a business 
combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Fair value is determined using the relief from royalty 
method. 

The Group’s trademarks are subsequently carried at cost less impairment losses and are not amortised as they are 
considered to have an indefinite useful life.

Research and development 
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Concessional tax benefits and incentives receivable are 
recognised as other income based on an estimate of the eligible research and development expenditure incurred during 
the financial year. Costs incurred on development projects are recognised as intangible assets only when it is probable 
that a project will, after assessment of its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic 
benefits and can be measured reliably.

Impairment of non financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed 
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the 
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and trademarks with an indefinite life are tested annually for impairment.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its 
estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair 
value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value 
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to 
the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together 
into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash 
inflows of other assets or CGU.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to 
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of other assets 
in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment 
loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

10  Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares are recognised as 
a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. All shares are fully paid. The 
holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per 
share at meetings of the Company. 

Foreign currency translation reserve 
The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the 
financial statements of foreign operations, as well as the effective portion of any foreign currency differences arising from 
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Share based payments reserve 
The share based payments reserve comprises the grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to 
employees.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

11  Impairment
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of each CGU was based on its value in use, determined by 
discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of each CGU. The carrying amount of each CGU 
was determined to be less than its recoverable amount and accordingly, no impairment loss was recognised. 

Value in use is calculated based on the present value of the cash flow projections over a five year period and include a 
terminal value at the end of year five. The cash flow projections over the five year period are based on the Group’s budget 
for 2019 and growth over the forecast periods based on the Group’s business plans and management’s assessment of the 
impacts of underlying economic conditions, past performance and other factors on each CGU’s financial performance. 
For the C&R CGU, the cashflow projections include management’s estimate of the expected growth from C&R’s involvement 
in OEM programs as a cooling assembly supplier. The long term growth rate used in calculating the terminal value is based 
on long term inflation estimates for the country and industry in which each CGU operates.

The cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate based on a weighted average cost of 
capital adjusted for country and industry specific risks associated with each CGU.

12  Provisions
Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products are sold, based on historical warranty data and a 
weighting of possible outcomes against their assumed possibilities.

Provision for warranties relates to products sold during the current and prior financial years. The provision is based on 
estimates made from historical warranty data. The Group expects to settle the majority of the liability over the next year.

13  Leases

Leased assets
Assets held by the Group under leases that transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the 
present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance 
with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. 

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s statement 
of financial position.

Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 
Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction 
of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a 
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

14  Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial liabilities
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised as fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less 
provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30-60 days from the date of 
recognition.

The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All 
other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the instrument. Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present 
value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at reporting date.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

57

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities 
are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these 
financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Interest-bearing loans and liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost 
and redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective 
interest basis.

Derivative financial instruments
The Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency exposures. Embedded derivatives are 
separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value, any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss 
as they are incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are 
generally recognised in profit or loss. 

15  Fair value measurements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for any derivative financial 
instruments which are recognised at fair value. 

‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the 
Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and 
non- financial assets and liabilities.

When one is available, the Group measures the fair value using the quoted price in an active market for that asset or liability. 
A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to 
provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. When an active market is not available, the Group uses observable market 
data as far as possible.

Further information about the methods and assumptions made in determining fair values for measurement and/or 
disclosure purposes is included in the following notes:

 – Note I14 – financial instruments
 – Note D3 – share based payments

Members of PWR Holdings Limited

For the year ended 30 June 2018

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the shareholders of PWR Holdings Limited 

Report on the audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the Financial Report of 
PWR Holdings Limited (the Company). 

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

•  giving a true and fair view of the 

Group’s financial position as at 30 
June 2018 and of its financial 
performance for the year ended on 
that date; and 

• 

complying with the Australian 
Accounting Standards and the 
Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

The Financial Report comprises:  

•  Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 

June 2018; 

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

•  Notes including a summary of significant accounting 

policies; and 

•  Directors’ Declaration. 

The Group consists of the Company and the entities it 
controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the 
financial year. 

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

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

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in 
Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matter we identified 
was the valuation of goodwill and 
intangible assets.  

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

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

For the year ended 30 June 2018

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets ($14.1 million) 

Refer to Note C7 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

A key audit matter for us was the 
Group’s annual testing of goodwill 
and intangible assets for impairment 
given the size of the balance (being 
27% of total assets). 

We focused on the significant 
forward-looking assumptions the 
Group applied in their value in use 
models, including forecast cash 
flows, growth rates and discount 
rates. 

The Group uses complex models in 
performing their annual impairment 
testing. These models use forward 
looking assumptions based on the 
Group’s budgeting and business 
plans and a range of other internal 
and external sources as inputs to the 
assumptions. Complex modelling 
using forward-looking assumptions 
tend to be prone to greater risk for 
potential bias, error and inconsistent 
application. These conditions 
necessitate additional scrutiny by us, 
in particular to address the objectivity 
of sources used for assumptions, 
and their consistent application. 

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

Our procedures included: 

•  We considered the appropriateness of the value in use 
method applied by the Group to perform the annual 
impairment testing against the requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

•  We assessed the integrity of the value in use models 

used, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation 
formulas. 

•  We considered the Group’s determination of their CGUs 

based on our understanding of the Group’s operations and 
how independent cash inflows were generated, against 
the requirements of the accounting standards. 

•  We compared the forecast cash flows contained in the 
value in use model to Board approved budgets and the 
Group’s business plans. 

•  We assessed the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to 
inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the 
models. 

•  We considered the sensitivity of the models by varying 

key assumptions, such as forecast growth rates, terminal 
growth rates and discount rates, within a reasonably 
possible range, to identify those CGUs at higher risk of 
impairment and to focus our further procedures. 

•  We challenged the Group’s significant forecast cash flow 
and growth assumptions using our knowledge of the 
Group, their past performance and our understanding of 
factors impacting the business and customers in which 
the CGUs operate in. 

•  Working with our valuation specialists, we independently 
developed a discount rate range considered comparable 
using publicly available market data for comparable 
entities, adjusted by risk factors specific to the CGU and 
the industry it operates in. 

•  We assessed the disclosures in the financial report using 
our understanding obtained from our testing and the 
requirements of the accounting standards.

Other Information 

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

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report 
and ASX Additional Information. The Chairman’s Letter and Managing Director’s Report are expected 
to be included in the Annual Report, and made available to us after the date of the Auditor's Report. 

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

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. 
In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial 
Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

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

Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; 

• 

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a 
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and 

•  assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This includes 

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

• 

• 

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

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

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf . This description forms part of our Auditor’s 
Report.
