Chairman’s Review 

Teresa Handicott

I am delighted to 
present to you PWR’s 
2019 annual report.

The solid performance of the Group has been made 
possible by investments made in people and equipment 
over the past 18 months. Despite a high capital investment 
program, our return on equity has improved to 26.8%, up 
from 23.7% in the prior comparative period. 

Capitalising on this growth requires solid foundations and 
an efficient corporate support structure. The Group has 
already started investing in cyber security, IT infrastructure 
and systems and processes to ensure ongoing growth is 
both executed and managed effectively and efficiently.

The Group delivered a 29% increase in statutory net profit 
after tax (NPAT) and a 17% increase in underlying NPAT 
to $14.2m which was another record for PWR.

Improved working capital management has resulted in an 
EBITDA to cash conversion ratio of 102.9% and a strong 
cash balance at 30 June 2019 of over $20.2m with overall 
net cash.

Considering these results and improved balance sheet 
position, the Board has declared:

 –

 –

a final dividend of 6.9 cents per share which is an 
increase of over 11% on the prior year final dividend 
of 6.2 cents per share; and
a special dividend of 3.0 cents per share.

The full year dividend for FY19 increased to 11.5 cents per 
share, up from 7.3 cents per share in the prior year, an 
increase of 58%. 

Managing growth efficiently is a central pillar for the 
next two years as management execute the strategic 
plan. This includes further investment in leading edge 
manufacturing equipment and technologies including an 
additive manufacturing machine, a 3D CT scanner and a 
vacuum furnace.

Diversification has been a key focus of your Board and 
this strategy appears to be coming to fruition with solid 
progress being made in categories outside of motorsport. 
Deliveries under our OEM contracts have commenced with 
deliveries for the Ford GT500 program of 8,000 vehicles 
under way. Micro matrix and cold plate technologies 
are also showing encouraging sales in the emerging 
technologies category.

The successes of the past year has been rewarding 
for staff, management and directors and 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.

Teresa Handicott

Annual Report 2019  PWR Holdings Limited

Managing Director’s Review 

Kees Weel

The 2019 financial 
year has been another 
record year for PWR.  

REVENUE
Group revenue for FY19 was up significantly at 26% with 
Europe being the stand out performer whose growth 
was over 40%. This significant increase was offset by 
the reduction in revenue at C&R resulting from the exit 
from non-cooling related operations whose revenue was 
included in the prior year comparative period.

Favourable foreign currency movements during FY19 
accounted for 5% of the revenue growth.

C&R is now a fully operational manufacturing facility which 
successfully completed a significantly higher volume of 
production throughput for the Group with inter segment 
sales increasing from $0.38m in FY18 to $4.0m in FY19. 
Leveraging this production capability and capacity for the 
Group will be a key focus area in FY20 and beyond. 

Motorsport has been a major driver of the higher revenue 
in FY19 and further growth is expected albeit at a lower 
rate of growth than that achieved in FY19. The OEM and 
emerging technology segments are expected to see 
continued sales increases in FY20.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS
The introduction of advanced technologies into our 
manufacturing processes will ensure we remain at the 
forefront of manufacturing capability and complexity 
for both existing customers as well as potential new 
customers and industries.

Our new products have been extensively tested and 
have recently been commercialised with initial sales 
commencing. These new products provide compelling 
solutions to new industries and initial sales have been 
made to customers in both aerospace and military 
segments.

THE FUTURE
Visibility of our growth potential for the next two to three 
years is now better than what we have previously had 
which allows us to invest with confidence.

PWR now has over 300 team members globally. Staff 
numbers are expected to increase further, although at a 
lower rate given our focus on productivity and efficiency.

Exchange rates will continue to affect results and this is 
inherent in the nature of our business. Our treasury policy 
has been further revised and, as at 30 June 2019, GBP 
forward cover of £10.65m is in place through to June 2020, 
thereby reducing the risk of foreign exchange fluctuations 
materially impacting our FY20 financial results.

Staff go beyond what is expected of them on a regular 
basis and I thank them for the dedication and commitment 
which is so often demonstrated.

Thank you to shareholders, customers and staff for your 
continued support and I am looking forward to working 
with PWR and C&R staff this year with the objective of 
making FY20 another record year on all fronts.

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 graphical analysis 
above. The Australian and European operations have 
performed exceptionally well in FY19 in this category. 

OEM PROGRAMMES
The previously announced OEM programmes have 
commenced production at C&R which has the capacity 
to deliver current programs and future OEM growth. 
OEM programmes are expected to be an important 
source of growth for PWR.

CASHFLOW
Our working capital management has improved at 30 June 
2019 which, combined with higher revenues, has resulted 
in a cash balance of over $20m at 30 June 2019. Your 
directors are conscious of the need to balance returning 
funds to shareholders and retaining funds to finance 
future growth plans and opportunities. We believe we have 
achieved a balanced outcome for both shareholders and 
expected future business requirements by declaring 
a special dividend of 3.0 cents per share. 

Our EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was 102.9% which 
is a significant improvement over FY18.

Revenue 
The Group achieved overall revenue growth of 26.1% compared to the prior corresponding period. Organic revenue growth 
of 21.5% was supplemented by exchange rate movements of 4.6%. 

The above growth was primarily driven out of Europe where sales increased by 40%. Sales in the Australian and American 
markets were static although activity at both these manufacturing operations increased significantly to support the 
increased sales in Europe.

With reporting in Australian dollars, exchange rate fluctuations have seen the GB pound being 1.7% stronger at 30 June 
2019 and the US dollar being 4.7% stronger compared to the prior period. In addition, average rates during the financial 
year saw a US dollar being 7.7% stronger and the pound 4.2% stronger.

The net impact of exchange rate movements had a favourable impact on revenue for the year of $2,345,523 (2018: $615,395).

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2019

5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

EBITDA
In addition to the positive impact on revenue of foreign exchange rates mentioned above, the higher EBITDA in FY19 
compared to the prior corresponding period was mainly due to:

 – Overall revenue growth at consistent margins;
 – Production and overhead costs increasing consistently with sales volume increases; and
 – Administration and overhead costs increasing at a lower rate than sales and EBITDA increases supporting the higher 

revenue and margins generated.

Net profit after tax 
Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $14.21 million. The 2018 NPAT of $11.00 million, 
included 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 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 FY19 operating cash flow of $22.4 million, a conversion of 102.9% 
from EBITDA. This high EBITDA to cash conversion rate is due primarily to improved working capital management.

Foreign currency
The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with consolidated revenue generated in various currencies 
(using average exchange rates through the reporting period) as outlined below:

British pounds (GBP)

US dollars (USD)

Australian dollars (AUD)

FY18 

66.7%

20.7%

12.6%

57.6%

25.4%

17.0%

Balance sheet management
The balance sheet remains strong with cash of $20.2 million (2018: $12.1 million). 

Working capital utilisation has improved with the working capital cycle reducing from 122 days at 30 June 2018 to 86 days at 
30 June 2019 contributing to a higher year end cash balance.

Capital expenditure for the year was $5.9 million (FY18: $5.2 million) which completed the majority of the capital investment 
program announced in April 2018.

Our strong balance sheet can support ongoing expected capital expenditure for potential future growth opportunities 
whilst still having access to available financing facilities. With the improved working capital position, expected future capital 
investment requirements and the ongoing strong contribution of EBITDA to operating cash flows, the Board has declared a 
Special 2019 dividend of 3.00 cents per share in addition to the Final 2019 dividend of 6.90 cents per share.

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 $52.50 million (2018: $39.07 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 $12.91 million (2018: $12.81 million). This is a positive development considering 
FY18 revenue included $1.29 million of revenue for the now exited non-core, non cooling components of C&R’s business.

Review of principal businesses
During the year ended 30 June 2019, in addition to the items outlined above, the Group:

 – Continued to be appointed cooling assembly supplier for additional OEM programs;
 – Released our new Micro Matrix and cold plate technology products;
 – Completed the majority of its capital program of works providing additional capacity;
 – Was awarded a grant from the State Government of over $1m from the Made in Queensland program;
 – Commenced prototype supplies into new industries including aerospace and the military.

opportunities in emerging markets during the next financial year.

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. 

12.  PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility 
on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

13.  NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review of the 
financial statements. 

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

 –

 –

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been 
reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out 
in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own 
work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly 
sharing risks and rewards. 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its network firms for audit and non-audit services 
provided during the year are set out below.

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.

C2. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors during Reporting Period
The following table sets out the annual Board and Committee fees (inclusive of superannuation) for Non-Executive Directors 
during the reporting period.

D.  Executive Director and Senior Executive Remuneration

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 rate. 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 2019, 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, which was achieved by PWR but not at C&R. Individual and corporate key performance measures 
(KPI’s), established at the beginning of the reporting period, are then measured against actual performance for the 
period. The corporate KPI’s include measures on revenue, profitability, safety and quality all of which are key metrics for 
the Group’s collective success. Short-term incentives were awarded to the Managing Director and senior executives of 
PWR (but not C&R) as outlined below.

Analysis of cash bonuses included in remuneration 
The Board awarded the Managing Director and senior executives the following cash bonuses for the Reporting Period:

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 Senior Executives in 
the 2019 financial year. No Rights were issued to the Managing Director in the current or prior year.

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.

14

Annual Report 2019  PWR Holdings Limited

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2019

16.  REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)
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

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.

The table below summarises the Group’s performance in recent financial years ending 30 June:

G.  Services from remuneration consultants 
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) engaged Godfrey & Associates (Godfrey) as remuneration 
consultant to the board to review the amount and elements of the key management personnel remuneration and provide 
recommendations in relation thereto. 

Godfrey was paid $10,000 for the remuneration recommendations in respect of reviewing the amount and elements of 
remuneration. Godfrey did not provide any other services. 

The engagement of Godfrey by the NRC was based on a documented set of protocols that would be followed by 
Godfrey, members of the NRC, and members of the key management personnel for the way in which remuneration 
recommendations would be developed by Godfrey and provided to the board. 

The protocols included the prohibition of Godfrey providing advice or recommendations to key management personnel 
before the advice or before Godfrey’s recommendations were given to members of the NRC and not unless Godfrey had 
approval to do so from members of the NRC. 

These arrangements were implemented to ensure that Godfrey would be able to carry out its work, including information 
capture and the formation of its recommendations, free from undue influence by members of the key management 
personnel about whom the recommendations may relate. 

The board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations were made by Godfrey free from undue influence by 
members of the key management personnel about whom the recommendations may relate. 

The board undertook its own inquiries and review of the processes and procedures followed by Godfrey during the course 
of its assignment and is satisfied that its remuneration recommendations were made free from undue influence. 

These inquiries included arrangements under which Godfrey was required to provide the board with a summary of the way 
in which it carried out its work, details of its interaction with key management personnel in relation to the assignment and 
other services and respond to questioning by members of the board after the completion of the assignment.

The results of this review have been implemented in the financial year beginning 1 July 2019 (FY20) and there is no impact 
on the reported results for the Reporting Period.

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 arm’s 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 2019

SECTION A  ABOUT THIS REPORT

A1 Reporting entity
PWR Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a Company 
domiciled in Australia. 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company 
as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019 comprise the 
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 
“Group” and individually as “Group Entities”).

The Group is involved in the design, engineering, 
testing, production, validation and sale of customised 
cooling products and solutions to the motorsports, 
automotive original equipment manufacturing, automotive 
aftermarket and emerging technologies sectors for 
domestic and international markets.

The Company’s registered office and principal place of 
business is 103 Lahrs Road, Ormeau, Queensland 4208.

The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of 
preparing these financial statements.

A2 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) 
adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated 
financial statements comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument, 
amounts in the Financial Report and Directors’ Report 
have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of 
Directors on 29 August 2019. 

(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 C6 (Intangible assets).

A3 Significant accounting policies
Apart from the first time adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15 
as described in Note H5, the accounting policies set out 
in Section I to the consolidated financial statements have 
been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
consolidated financial statements.

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 2020 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 automotive 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.

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

Average EBITDA margin

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 2018 to 30 June 2021.

162,790 (2018: 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 2019, all 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 $219,000 (2018: $75,518) 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

The Group’s tax losses recognised as a deferred tax asset arise from its US operations. Management considers that based 
on the Group’s plans for this business, it is probable that future taxable profits will be generated against which the tax 
losses can be recovered.

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

Cash and cash equivalents
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $20,223,016 at 30 June 2019 (2018: $12,110,095), 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 (2018: Nil). 

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$10,000,000 foreign currency advance facility (multicurrency); 
 – A$7,500,000 asset finance facility; 
 – A$750,000 trade finance facility;
 – A$100,000 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. 

Under the Group’s financial risk management policies, the Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage its 
foreign currency risks. At 30 June 2019, the Group had entered into participating forward contracts to manage its exposure 
to sales denominated in GBP. These contracts, which settle monthly until 30 June 2020, have a total notional amount of 
£10.65m and have been accounted for at fair value through the profit and loss. The fair value at year end was an asset of 
$258,036 (2018: NIL). 

During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group recognised $218,960 in realised gains and $341,904 in unrealised gains on 
derivatives (2018: $236,000 loss). This has been included in finance income or costs in the income statement.

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 2018, using consistent foreign exchange rate variances, as indicated below.

H2 Related party information 
Certain key management personnel, or their related parties, hold positions in other entities that result in them having 
control, joint control or significant influence over the financial or operating policies of these entities.

A number of these entities transacted with the Group during the year. The terms and conditions of the transactions with key 
management personnel 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 arm’s length 
basis.

SECTION H  OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

H4 Subsequent events
The Board declared a fully franked final ordinary dividend of 6.90 cents per share and a special FY19 dividend of 3.00 cents 
per share. The financial effect of the 2019 declared final and special dividend has not been brought to account in the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019. 

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

Changes in accounting policies -new standards and interpretations adopted
Effective from 1 July 2018, AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers have been 
adopted by the Group. The nature and effect of these standards being adopted are disclosed below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
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.

As the Group does not hold complex financial instruments or long dated receivables, there was no material impact of 
adopting AASB 9 on the Group’s financial statements in the current or comparative period.

New standards and interpretations adopted

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 118 Revenue (AASB 118). AASB 15 is a significant change 
from the revenue recognition requirements under AASB 118 and will involve more judgements and estimates as it requires 
revenue to be recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, or on satisfaction of performance 
obligations, which replaced the previous recognition concept of transfer of risks and rewards.

The application of AASB 15 has not had a material impact on the Group in the current or comparative period including 
the timing of recognition of the Group’s key revenue streams. For the sale of manufactured products, revenue will be 
recognised at the point in time that the performance obligation is satisfied which is generally on shipment of the goods to 
the customer from the Group’s warehouse. For services, including wind tunnel testing and freight, revenue is recognised 
over time as those services are provided.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

AASB 16 Leases
The Group has not early adopted AASB 16 Leases. The Group will apply AASB 16 initially in its financial statements for the 
year ending 30 June 2020.

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. 

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.

Although the Group has not yet fully quantified the impact on its reported assets and liabilities of adoption of AASB 16, 
based on an initial assessment the impact on the net profit after tax is not expected to be significant. 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.

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
For the sale of manufactured products, revenue is recognised at the point in time that the performance obligation is 
satisfied which is generally on shipment of the goods to the customer from the Group’s warehouse. 

Rendering of services
For services, including wind tunnel testing and freight, revenue is recognised over time as those services are provided.

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. 

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.

Annual Report 2019  PWR Holdings Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2019

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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

2019

2018

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.

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

9 

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.

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 2019

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

11  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.

12  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.

13  Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised as fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less 
impairment. 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.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2019

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

14  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.

Annual Report 2019  PWR Holdings Limited

Independent Auditor’s Report to the 
Members of PWR Holdings Limited

For the year ended 30 June 2019

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.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the 
Members of PWR Holdings Limited

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets $14.2m 

Refer to Note C6 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 21.9% of total assets). 

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

The Group uses complex models in performing 
its 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 its 

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, its 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.

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 2019 and of 
its financial performance for the year 
ended on that date; and 

complying with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations 
Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

The Financial Report comprises:  

• Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 

June 2019;     

• 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.
