Chairman’s Review 

Teresa Handicott

I am delighted to 
present to you PWR’s 
2020 annual report.

PWR delivered a steady performance for the 2020 financial 
year, with NPAT only 8% lower than the prior period, 
despite the recent difficult economic conditions. The 
Group continued its high capital investment program while 
producing a strong return on equity at 24%.

Diversification has been a key focus of your Board and this 
strategy is coming to fruition with solid progress made in 
new categories. Micro matrix and cold plate technology 
sales are in line with expectations in the emerging 
technologies segment.

The progress made during the past tumultuous year 
has been possible only through the efforts of staff, 
management and directors, all of whom either took 
paycuts or worked for extended periods of reduced 
working days during the final quarter. I take this 
opportunity to thank all employees at PWR for their 
ongoing commitment to the success of the Group. 

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

Teresa Handicott 
Chairman

Cash flows remain strong and together with efficient 
working capital management resulted in an EBITDA to 
cash conversion ratio of 94% and a strong cash balance 
at 30 June 2020 of over $20.8m. An additional $5m was 
drawn down from the finance facilities available to the 
Group and total facilities were increased by a further 
$10 m given the uncertain economic times which 
presented in March 2020. The Group remains in an 
overall net cash position.

Considering these results and balance sheet position, 
the Board has declared a fully franked final dividend of 
4.0 cents per share which the Board believes appropriately 
takes into consideration the expectations of all 
stakeholders in the current economic environment.

Managing growth efficiently and diversifying the 
business are central pillars of the Group’s strategy 
which management are successfully executing. This 
diversification also contributed to the resilience of 
earnings during the period of racing shutdowns. 
The Group has continued to invest in leading edge 
manufacturing equipment and technologies, including 
additive manufacturing machines, a 3D CT scanner 
and a vacuum furnace, and is now well equipped to 
capitalise on new commercial opportunities already 
presenting themselves.

Managing Director’s Review 

Kees Weel

A steady result in 
a disruptive period

The 2020 financial year has seen a steady result despite 
some significant external events both in Australia with the 
bushfires in January and globally with covid-19 from March. 
Both these events caused significant economic upheaval 
and disruption. Our strong balance sheet allowed us to 
navigate through these events and we believe we have 
emerged stronger and well prepared for the challenges 
facing us in the next few years.

REVENUE
Group revenue for FY20 was flat with Europe being hardest 
hit by the covid-19 pandemic with most race categories 
ceasing all activity until July 2020. This significant decrease 
was offset by the increase in revenue at C&R and in 
Australia in the automotive aftermarket segment. In 
addition, although coming from a low base, the emerging 
technology product sets saw an impressive 62% increase 
in revenue whilst the OEM contracts also delivered a 
strong 60% revenue increase.

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

Motorsport was heavily impacted by covid-19 with most 
race categories postponing race calendars for FY20 and 
only reopening from July 2020. The OEM and emerging 
technology products address categories which include 
military and aerospace customers who were impacted 
differently to motorsport - we expect to see continued 
sales increases in emerging technologies in FY21 and 
beyond and expect these products to be major drivers 
of revenue growth for PWR.

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. 

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

CASHFLOW
Our working capital management remained strong for 
the period ended 30 June 2020 which resulted in a cash 
balance of over $20m at 30 June 2020. We believe we 
have achieved a balanced outcome for all stakeholders 
and expected future business requirements by declaring 
a fully franked final dividend of 4.0 cents per share. 

Our EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was 94% which 
remains strong in difficult economic times.

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

STAFF
PWR expects significant growth in FY21 and beyond and 
to support this growth has reviewed the organisational 
structure to ensure this aligned with expected operational 
requirements. As a result, the position of Chief Operating 
Officer was created and Matthew Bryson was appointed 
to this role effective 1 July 2020. Matthew has been with 
PWR since 2000 and held the position of General Manager 
Engineering prior to this.

The transition of C&R to a fully operational manufacturing 
facility resulted in Steve Rasso being appointed as General 
Manager from February 2020. Steve joined C&R in 2018 
with more than 30 years of Tier 1 OEM heat exchanger 
experience. As a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the 
University of Dayton, Steve has held various positions 
in manufacturing operations, engineering and quality 
at DaimlerChrysler, Behr GmbH, and Mahle Behr before 
joining C&R to lead their OEM projects.

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.

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 FY21 a record year on all fronts.

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2020

5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
The operating and financial results for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been significantly impacted by the COVID - 19 
outbreak which is discussed in more detail below.

COVID – 19
This significant public health issue has impacted the full year results of the Group with a large number of our customers 
either reducing their operations or closing them for a period of time. In addition, sporting events globally, including 
motorsport, were stopped for a period of time. Some motorsport categories have resumed prior to 30 June 2020 while 
others remain on hold.

The impact on the business of this uncertainty has been partly mitigated by Federal Government initiatives in Australia and 
the USA. In Australia, PWR Performance Products Pty Ltd is an eligible employer for the JobKeeper program. This program 
commenced in April 2020 and is currently ongoing until 27 September 2020.

In the USA, C&R Racing Inc applied for and was granted a loan of USD$1.175 million under the Pay Check Protection 
Program. Application for forgiveness of this loan has been made under the program guidelines and we believe we meet the 
criteria outlined for this loan forgiveness.

The Group has not restated or separately identified any aspect of its results for the impact of COVID- 19 other than 
disclosing the actual benefits received or due from the Australian Federal Government JobKeeper program and the USA 
Federal Government Pay Check Protection Program. The UK Government furlough scheme is immaterial to the Group 
results due to the small number of eligible staff employed at PWR Europe Ltd.

Revenue for the period March 2020 to 30 June 2020 decreased significantly as a result of COVID-19 with a consequential 
impact on net profit after tax. The Group has managed this revenue and NPAT reduction by reducing the working hours 
of all Australian based staff from 5 to 4 days per week while directors reduced their remuneration by up to 30% to 
30 June 2020. The manufacturing operations at C&R Racing Inc in the USA were shut down for 3 weeks under a mandated 
closure of all commercial operations in the State of Indiana.

Our strong balance sheet has enabled us to maintain all our operations in a ready state and no staff have been retrenched 
as a result of COVID-19. As a precaution, PWR drew down the unused portion of the multicurrency credit facility of 
$10 million and increased this facility by a further $10 million which remains undrawn and still in place as at 30 June 2020. 
We do not expect to draw down on this additional facility and will review whether this is required as our business and our 
customers recommence economic activity from July 2020. The group has had no bad debts during this time.

Summary of financial results
A summary of the results is outlined below. The introduction of AASB 16 (Leases) had the following impact on Group results:

 –
 –
 –

$1.82m charge to amortisation expense for the amortisation of the deemed value of right of use assets;
$0.27m of deemed interest expense on the right of use liability; and
$1.80m of lease payments reducing the deemed right of use liability and not expensed in the current period.

The net impact of the above are reflected in the summary results below.

Revenue 
The Group achieved overall revenue growth of 0.5% compared to the prior corresponding period. Organic revenue decreased 
by 3.5% but was offset by favourable exchange rate movements of 4.0%.

The above growth was primarily driven by third party sales out of Australia and USA, where sales grew 13.0% and 14.1% 
respectively. Europe sales decreased by 10.2%.

Exchange rate movements saw the GBP being 0.5% weaker at 30 June 2020 and the US dollar being 0.8% stronger compared 
to the prior period. In contrast, average rates during the financial year saw the GBP 3.5% stronger and the US dollar 6.1% 
weaker than the prior period.

The net impact of exchange rate movements had a favourable impact on revenue for the year of $2.58m (FY19: $2.35m).

EBITDA
Despite the positive impact on revenue of foreign exchange rate movements, EBITDA in FY20 compared to the prior 
corresponding period was relatively static mainly due to:

 – A decline in revenue due to COVID-19;
 – Production and overhead costs reduced with the decline in sales volumes and staff costs reduced due to a 4 day 

working week;

 – Benefits from the JobKeeper and Pay Check Protection programs; and
 – Administration and overhead costs decreasing at a lower rate than sales and EBITDA.

5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Net profit after tax 
Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $13.05 million (FY19: $14.21 million).

Operating cash flow
The Group continued its strong cash conversion rate with FY20 operating cash flow of $20.3 million, a conversion of 87% 
from EBITDA.

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)

Balance sheet management
The balance sheet remains strong with cash of $20.8 million (FY19: $20.2 million).

Working capital utilisation has improved with the working capital cycle reducing from 86 days at 30 June 2019 to 71 days at 
30 June 2020 contributing to a higher year end cash balance.

Capital expenditure for the year was $7.8 million (FY19: $5.9 million). Our strong balance sheet can support ongoing 
expected capital expenditure for potential future growth opportunities whilst still having access to available and unused 
financing facilities.

With the strong working capital position, expected future capital investment requirements and the ongoing strong 
contribution of EBITDA to operating cash flows, the Board has declared a final 2020 dividend of 4.00 cents per share 
bringing the total dividend paid to 5.90 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 $50.2 million (FY19: $52.5 million), The decrease was 
due to the impact of COVID-19 on customer operations.

The C&R segment generated external revenue of $15.57 million (FY19: $12.91 million). This is a positive development considering 
the lower activity due to the impacts of COVID-19.

The carrying value of goodwill and trademarks is assessed on an ongoing basis to ensure these are not impaired. This 
assessment has been performed at 30 June 2020 and due to the uncertainty of short term global outcomes, an assessment 
using currently available information has resulted in the current values continuing to be recognised. As information becomes 
more certain, revised and ongoing assessments of carrying values will continue to be performed.

Review of principal businesses
During the year ended 30 June 2020, in addition to the items outlined above, the Group:

Enhanced our new micro matrix and cold plate technology product offerings;

 –
 – Received the grant awarded in FY19 from the State Government of approximately $1m from the Made in Queensland 2 

program;

 – Was awarded an additional grant for $1.2m from the State Government under the Made in Queensland 3 program;
 –

Increased supplies into new industries including aerospace and the military.

7.  LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Group will continue its strategy of increasing profitability and market share within existing categories and markets and 
pursue opportunities with emerging technologies in existing and new markets and categories during the next financial year.

A consequence of COVID-19 is that many of our customers are facing a significantly changed operating environment and 
their resumption of full commercial activities is slowly materialising. We implemented plans to ensure the business reflected 
this lower economic activity, but are still able to quickly respond when demand returns or increases to pre COVID-19 levels. 
We are cautiously optimistic that the next financial year will see the benefits of resumed customer demand combined with 
more efficient business operations.

8.  EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
The Board declared a fully franked final 2020 ordinary dividend of 4.00 cents per share. The financial effect of this dividend 
has not been brought to account in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Other than the matter noted above, there has not arisen in the interval between 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 
Company, 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.

9.  ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investment Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the Directors’ Report. Amounts in the Directors’ Report 
have been rounded off in accordance with that Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated.

10.  ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (ESG)
During 2020, PWR continued to grow and create shareholder wealth while caring for our people, our communities and our 
environment. We remain committed to operating in a manner which acknowledges and proactively manages those issues which 
are most material to the long term sustainability of our business, the environment and the communities in which we operate.

We made significant progress with our strategic agenda through the year, driving sustainable growth through our three strategic 
objectives of efficiency, diversification into aerospace, military and emerging technology while building a solid platform for future 
innovation, all of which support PWR to be the Global Leader in Cooling Technology Inspired by Engineering Excellence

Our People
At the heart of PWR is its people. We believe in them, support their health, safety and wellbeing and ensure they 
have access to learning and development opportunities. We encourage a work place that is diverse, empowered and 
demonstrates good decision making and one which fosters innovation and high productivity. We take a particular interest 
in recruiting apprentices and trainees and investing in them to build a capable and committed workforce to maintain PWR’s 
exceptional quality workmanship and deliver for our customers.

Diversity
We recognise, embrace and value the differences and experiences of our people and their unique contribution to 
the workplace. PWR is committed to promoting equality within its culture and believes this is vital for developing and 
maintaining a high performing and positive workplace. PWR strives to reinforce values of respect, equality, teamwork, 
innovation and accountability. Diversity is a consideration that forms part of PWR’s long term commercial success and 
strategy. PWR’s commitment to diversity will make it stronger and deliver benefits, including diversity of thought, improved 
business performance, enhanced service delivery and increased staff attraction, retention, motivation and satisfaction.

We are focused on ensuring PWR’s programs and conditions are inclusive and can support all our people, whatever stage 
they are at in life and their career.

This year:

 – We employed 23 apprentices and trainees with a strategic focus on increasing female participation in our workplace; and
 – We implemented an online learning and development platform, providing flexible access to our employees to build and 

develop skills, improve employee engagement, accelerate employee induction and training, and support organisational goals.

Engaged Workforce
Engaged People are key to the delivery of our PWR’s vision. We have recently created the role of Chief Operating Officer 
which reflects the importance of continuing to develop global operations and supply chain that underpin our strategic 
objectives and deliver high quality and innovative products, efficiently to our customers.

10.  ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (ESG) (continued)
To better engage our workforce, we conducted a company-wide employee engagement survey. We received an engagement 
score of 77% and feedback on the things we do well and areas for improvement. A response and action plan was prepared by 
management and approved by the Board. This was followed up with lunch and learn sessions with our workforce to prioritise 
actions across communication, work-life balance and career progression which fed into an employee engagement roadmap.

Health, Safety and Wellbeing
We care about our employees and are committed to ensuring a safe and healthy workplace.

As the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in Australia in March 2020, we implemented a number of business contingency 
plans, personal hygiene and social distancing measures at all sites in line with government and Safe Work Australia 
guidelines.

Current controls we have in place include:

 – Practising good hygiene and social distancing
 –

14-day self-isolation requirements for any employee returning from overseas travel, along with a suspension of work-
related overseas travel

 – Providing regular updates and education to our employees as needed
 – Constant monitoring of government and medical information sources.

We significantly improved our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) in 2020 reducing it from 11 to 3.3, which is well below 
the industry benchmark, there is always room for improvement and we maintain a continued focus on identifying and 
managing health and safety risks and learning through regular safety shares. This year we:

 – Collaborated with our Australian workforce to initiate a critical safety risk management program to facilitate our people 
taking responsibility and making good choices when undertaking high risk tasks. Twenty critical risk activities have been 
identified in workshops and the company is in the process of developing, implementing and providing training on, risk 
mitigation action plans for these risks. The process is to be replicated in the US. Examples of the critical safety risk 
management program in action are employee driven decisions to implement safety glasses in our workshops for all 
activities and the use of gloves for high risk activities

 – Provided breakfast, morning tea and lunch to our employees at Ormeau through our dedicated Weely’s Diner, a 

60 person dining room open from 5am to 3pm, 5 days a week

 – Provided free influenza vaccinations to our workforce.

The Group has not had any fatalities nor fines or prosecutions from safety related breaches.

Our Stakeholders

Our Shareholders
We are committed to engaging with all of our shareholders and we held our Annual General Meeting in 2019 at our 
manufacturing site at Ormeau where we provided shareholders with site tours so they could see first-hand what we do.

We were able to show off our new micro-matrix facility, completed in late 2019 which is a state of the art, secure facility 
where we manufacture the cutting-edge of cooling technology that is currently being used in motorsport and high-end 
supercars. The highly intricate nature of the construction and assembly of micro-matrix cooling components, has required 
the construction of a specially built facility with restricted access, medical grade air filtration and state of the art tooling.

This year we were able to use this facility to assist Triple 8 Race Engineering with the manufacture of medical grade parts 
for their Conrod Project where they designed and built critical emergency ventilators to support the global response to the 
Covid-19 pandemic.

Our Customers
When entering into a relationship with its customers PWR does not just sell them a product but partners with them to 
develop cooling solutions where the customer can use PWR’s engineering department and manufacturing facilities to 
purpose build the right solution.

Community Support
PWR’s employees are active participants in the community and foster a healthy sense of competitive tension in the 
workplace through participation in a number of community initiatives. This year we participated in and raised money for 
the Women’s Day Fun Run, Movember, Shave for a Cure and held gold coin donation lunches for community causes such as 
drought relief and bushfires.

10.  ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (ESG) (continued)

Our Corporate Governance and Risk Management Practices
The Corporate Governance statement of the Group is available through the Group website and is also released on the ASX 
website. The Corporate Governance statement adopted by the Board reflects the Board’s endorsement and adoption of the 
recommendations contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations.

PWR’s risk management approach is the structured process to identify potential threats to the success of the business, and 
defines the strategy for eliminating or minimising the impact of these risks.

At all levels, PWR is committed to ensuring that risk management is regarded as an essential element in our management 
processes with linkages to every aspect of our business including development of existing business, expansion into new 
markets, relationships with major customers and suppliers and our treasury and capital management activities.

A significant area of focus during the year was on protection of PWR’s intellectual property and management of 
cybersecurity risk. This year we:

 – undertook an independent external review of our IT and potential cyber security exposures and have subsequently 

implemented all recommendations arising from this review. On completion of the implementation of the 
recommendations, a further independent external assessment was completed to test and confirm the effectiveness of 
cyber security robustness
introduced capability for serialisation of products including full traceability of components and raw materials used in the 
production process back to raw material source.

 –

Our Resource Management
Although the PWR Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulations, the Group manages environmental 
aspects and impacts through its ISO 14001 compliant management system.

The Group is focussed on environmental management by :

 –

ensuring exhaust gases generated in the manufacturing process are removed via activated compounds prior to being 
released into the environment;
recycling raw materials, cardboard and office materials;and

 –
 – disposal of wastes and hazardous materials in accordance with government regulations.

11.  INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS 
The Group has indemnified the Directors and Executives for costs incurred, in their capacity as a Director or Executive, for 
which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.

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
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
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.

Message from the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
On behalf of the members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Jeffrey Forbes and Roland. Dane, I am pleased 
to present the Remuneration Report for the 2019-20 financial year (Reporting Period).

The latter part of the Reporting Period saw extraordinary times throughout the world. The Managing Director and Senior 
Executives at PWR put in an enormous effort and responded rapidly to the crisis implementing measures to protect our 
people and our business, achieving strong results against agreed corporate and individual key performance indicators.

Remuneration
As part of our response, Non-Executive Directors and the Managing Director reduced their fees and salary respectively by 
between 20% and 30% during April, May and June. The Managing Director and Senior Executives also took one day per week 
annual leave to reduce overheads and leave balances in response to the impact of the global pandemic on the motorsports 
industry and business in general, demonstrating strong leadership across the rest of the workforce who also reduced their 
working hours to a four day week.

Despite the challenges, the management team have been able to deliver on most agreed objectives and targets. This has 
resulted in PWR delivering a strong NPAT result, being able to declare a fully franked dividend in line with the Company’s 
dividend policy, a TSR ranking in the 90th percentile based on assessment against the S&P ASX-300 comparator group 
(excluding oil and gas) over the past three years and continuing to deliver on PWR’s strategic objectives.

Whilst the management team has delivered strong overall Group performance demonstrated by PWR’s NPAT result of 
$13.1 million, it was not enough to trigger the operation of the Company’s short term incentive plan. However, given the 
rapid response to the global pandemic required from the management team and the extraordinary effort that required, 
and noting the TSR performance in the 90% quartile, the Board exercised its discretion under the STIP and to assess 
participant’s personal performance against pre-established personal KPIs. Personal performance targets were met or 
exceeded by all Senior Executives in what was an unprecedented year. The corporate performance metrics (which represent 
60% of the available STI for KMP) were not assessed or paid. As such, cash bonuses were significantly reduced this year.

The first vesting of Long Term Incentive Awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan approved by Shareholders in 2016 was 
made in October 2019 to two members of the management team after meeting performance hurdles of an EPS growth rate 
of 52.6% over the three year performance period and a TSR ranking for PWR at the 70th percentile. The vesting of these 
performance rights is in line with our policy of rewarding high performance linked to the creation of shareholder wealth.

I invite you to read our remuneration report and welcome your feedback. 

Sincerely

Teresa Handicott 
Chairman, NRC

A.  Key Management Personnel
The remuneration report outlines remuneration for those people considered to be Key Management Personnel (KMP) of 
the Group during the Reporting Period. KMP are persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the activities of the Group.

KMP consist of:

 – Non-Executive Directors; and
 –

Executive Directors and certain senior executives.

During the reporting period, an organisational restructure was completed and following that Matthew Bryson was 
appointed to the role of Chief Operating Officer effective 1 July 2020 which was driven by the company’s global growth. 
The restructure resulted in a review of KMP within the Group with some roles that were previously considered to be KMP 
changing to an operational focus in their respective jurisdictions.

There has been no changes to the Company’s remuneration framework or policies or its Short Term or Long Term Incentive 
Plans since the 2019 Remuneration Report.

The table below summarises details of KMP of the Group that were KMP on 30 June 2020 or who were KMP during the

C1. Policy
A copy of the remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors is available on the Group’s website. The objective of the 
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 nor 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

D.  Executive Director and Senior Executive Remuneration

D1. Remuneration policy for senior executives
The guiding principles governing PWR’s Pay for Performance Policy and how we implement them are summarised in the 
table below:

Principles of remuneration

How we meet these principles

Remuneration will incorporate external market reference to 
maintain market competitiveness

Make clear the line of sight between performance and 
reward to ensure that superior performance is recognised 
and rewarded, with a view to driving long-term growth and 
shareholder value

We undertake remuneration benchmarking using 
independent renumeration consultants to maintain market 
competitiveness

We set key performance indicators that have stretch 
targets, evidenced by improvement over and above actual 
results achieved from the prior year or specifically linked 
to achievement of an outcome linked to our strategic work 
programs.

Our incentive plans have a balance of short and long term 
targets selected to support business performance and 
strategy implementation and ultimately shareholder value.

Provide fair, consistent and internally equitable reward to 
appropriately compensate employees for their contributions 
and performance outcomes

Internal equity is achieved partly through external 
benchmarking and internally moderating performance 
assessments across the business

Manage the balance between reward funding and Company 
performance / financial outcomes

Ensure a level of transparency and clarity in reward design 
and governance processes

The Board maintains ultimate discretion under PWR’s 
incentive plans to make awards or not and all awards are 
subject to consideration of the Company’s ability to pay

We attempt to report in a transparent manner on the link 
between reward and performance under our incentive 
schemes and outline the governance process to give 
confidence to our shareholders

The remuneration framework for Senior Executives comprises two elements:

1. Fixed remuneration, and

2. Performance linked or “at risk” remuneration comprising both short and long term components.

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

The Board determines an appropriate level of fixed remuneration for the senior executives following recommendations 
from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has the delegated 
authority from the Board to engage independent remuneration consultants as it sees fit.

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 overall market.

The Managing Director and senior executives received increases to their fixed remuneration during the Reporting Period 
following an independent external remuneration review by Godfrey & Associates in June 2019. This was included in the 2019 
Directors’ Report and is outlined in Note 16 G of this report.

Short-term incentive plan

The Managing Director and Key Management Personnel 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 both a corporate and individual level.

At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Board established corporate performance metrics which accounts for 
60% of the maximum potential cash bonus payable to Senior Executives. Corporate performance metrics align the 
Senior Executive’s interest and performance to a group level requiring strategic thinking, cooperation and business wide 
leadership.

The corporate performance metrics for the Reporting Period were:

Whilst the Senior Executives have delivered strong overall Group performance demonstrated by PWR’s NPAT result of $13.1 
million, it was not enough to trigger the operation of the Company’s short term incentive plan. Given the rapid change in 
focus required from the Senior Executives to respond to the global pandemic and the extraordinary effort that required, 
the Board exercised its discretion under the STIP and assessed each Senior Executive’s personal performance against 
pre-established personal KPIs. Personal performance targets were met or exceeded by all Senior Executives in what was 
an unprecedented year. As a result, cash bouses payable to Key Management Personnel attributed to performance in the

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 2020 
financial year with the exception of the Managing Director who has elected not to participate in the LTIP given his significant 
shareholding in the Company. As such, 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.

The performance hurdles are:

 –

 –

50% of the rights will vest upon 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
50% of the rights will vest based on growth in annual Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) relative to a target set by the Board and 
as outlined below.

Participants must remain continually employed with the Company until the date of vesting. Vesting of 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.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

16.  REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)

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 may be forfeited and lapse. Rights do not entitle holders to 
dividends that are declared during the vesting period. The Board believes that the 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 KMP 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:

16.  REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)

G.  Services from remuneration consultants
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) engaged Godfrey & Associates (Godfrey) as remuneration consultants 
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 NRC.

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 from the commencement of the Reporting Period and are included in 
this report.

M. 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 2020

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 2020 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 20th August 2020.

(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 B3 (Government grants), C3 (Inventories) and C7 
(Intangible assets).

A3 Significant accounting policies
Apart from the first time adoption of AASB 16 and 
change in accounting policy 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.

SECTION B  BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

B1 Operating segments
The Group has two strategic divisions, which are its operating segments. These divisions offer different products and 
services, and are managed separately because they require different technology, apply contrasting marketing strategies 
and cater to different markets.
The following summary describes the operations of each reportable segment.

Operating segments 

Operations

PWR Performance Products 

C&R 

 Designing and manufacturing high end racing products and 
automotive aftermarket products for non-USA markets.
Designing and manufacturing racing and OEM products primarily for the USA market.

The Group determines its operating segments based on information presented to the Managing Director being the chief 
operating decision maker, with operating segments based on the Group’s operating divisions.

Intersegment pricing is determined based on cost plus a margin.

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.

PWR Holdings Limited  Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

SECTION C  OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
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 2021 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 estimated impact of COVID - 19 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. Given the uncertainties in respect to 
the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the volatility in capital markets, a risk premium for market uncertainty has been 
incorporated into the discount rate. Whilst adjustments have been made in the cash flow projections and discount rate to 
reflect the estimated impact of COVID-19, the full extent and duration of its impact remains a key estimate and judgement. 
Management have considered sensitivities to the recoverable amount assuming a reduction in revenue in FY21 given the 
impact to the Group during March – June 2020. The sensitivities applied includes a decrease in revenue of 10% for FY21 with 
revenue returning to forecast from FY22 onwards to determine the recoverable amount. Whilst headroom would reduce, 
the recoverable amount of each CGU would exceed the base value carrying amount.

Key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use over the five year period including the terminal value 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

Should COVID-19 result in a further shut down of operations, no material impact is expected on the carrying value of the 
respective CGUs unless the shutdown was for an extended period of time. Reasonably possible changes in assumptions 
would not result in an impairment.

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 2019 to 30 June 2022.

46,486 (2019 : 162,790) 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 2020, 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 $330,000 (2019: $219,000) was recognised during the year and included in 
“employee expenses” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

SECTION D  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

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

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 (Refer Note H5 for restatement details).

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 $20,804,705 at 30 June 2020 (2019: $20,223,016), 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. Management’s analysis of customer credit risk has 
considered the estimated impact of COVID-19 on the economic environment and its assessment of expected credit losses. 
No impairment losses were recognised in respect of trade and other receivables during the year (2019: 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$20,000,000 foreign currency advance facility (multicurrency);
 – A$7,500,000 asset 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 2020, the Group had entered into participating forward contracts to manage its exposure 
to sales denominated in GBP. These contracts, which settle monthly until 30 September 2020, have a total notional amount 
of £1.15m (2019: £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 $105,123 (2019: $258,036).

During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group recognised $172,362 in realised gains and $288,506 in unrealised losses on 
derivatives (2019: $341,904 gain). This has been included in finance income or costs in the income statement.

Sensitivity analysis
At 30th June, exchange rates used to translate the above were 0.5579 to the GBP 0.6854 to the USD (2019: 0.5524 to the GBP 
and 0.7012 to the USD). 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 2019, using consistent foreign exchange rate variances, as indicated below.

The Board declared a fully franked final ordinary dividend of 4.0 cents per share. The financial effect of the 2020 declared 
final dividend has not been brought to account in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

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

H5 New accounting standards

Changes in accounting policies -new standards and interpretations adopted
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019, except as described below. A number of other new 
standards are effective from 1 July 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has 
recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its 
obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.

The Group has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the right of use asset and lease 
liability will be equal on the date of initial application. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2019 has not 
been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under AASB 117 and related interpretations. The details of the 
changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.

a.	 Definition	of	a	lease
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under 
Interpretation 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The Group now assesses whether a contract is 
or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under AASB 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract 
conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied 
AASB 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under AASB 
117 and Interpretation 4 were not reassessed.

b.  As a Lessee
The Group leases assets, including properties and machinery. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as 
operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and 
rewards of ownership. Under AASB 16, the Group recognises right of use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. 
these leases are on-balance sheet.

However, the Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets. 
These were short term operating leases and specifically exempt (Note H5 (e)). The Group recognises the lease payments 
associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

c.	 Significant	accounting	policies
The Group recognises a right of use asset and a right of use lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use 
asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments 
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and 
remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives 
received.

The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line and/or diminishing value basis from the 
commencement date to the end of the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease 
payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate 
cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. The Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as 
the discount rate.

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

Where applicable, the Group has applied some judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which 
include renewal options or terminations. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such 
options impacts the lease term, which affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.

SECTION H  OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

d.  Transition
Previously, the Group classified property leases as operating leases under AASB 117. These include warehouse and factory 
facilities. The leases typically run for a period of 5-10 years. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an 
additional period after the end of the non-cancellable period. Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are 
based on changes in local price indices.

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under AASB 117, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of 
the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. Right of use assets 
are measured at the carrying amount of the lease liabilities.

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating 
leases under AASB 117.

 – Applied the exemption not to recognise right of use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of 

lease term.
Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

 –
 – Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The Group leases a number of items of production equipment. These leases were classified as finance leases under 
AASB 117. Where applicable, the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at 1 July 2019 for these 
finance leases were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under AASB 117 immediately 
before that date.

e.	

Impacts	on	financial	statements

Impact on transition

i. 
On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognised additional right of use assets and right of use lease liabilities.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Group discounted lease payments 
using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted-average rate applied was 2.96%.

Impacts for the period

ii. 
As a result of initially applying AASB 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, the 
Group recognised $10,674,067 of right-of-use assets and $10,674,067 of right of use lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019.

In addition, in relation to those leases under AASB 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of 
operating lease expense. During the period ended 30 June 2020, the Group recognised $1,823,691 of amortization charges 
and $266,375 of interest costs from these leases (refer Note C6).

Income taxes – Multiple tax consequences of recovering an asset
In May 2020, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) published its final agenda decision ‘Multiple Tax Consequences 
of Recovering an Asset (IAS 12 Income taxes)’ which considers how an entity accounts for deferred taxes on an asset that 
has two distinct consequences over its life that cannot be offset (taxable economic benefits from use and capital gains on 
disposal or expiry). The IFRS IC concluded that in these circumstances an entity identifies separate tax consequences of 
recovering the assets carrying amount.

The Group’s accounting policy has been to consider these two tax consequences of recovering the assets carrying amount 
together as they crystallised over the assets life, irrespective of how the asset was recovered. This accounting policy does 
not align with the IFRS IC agenda decision.

As a result of the IFRS IC agenda decision, the Group has changed its accounting policy, retrospectively adjusting the 
deferred tax accounting for impacted intangibles. The impact of this change in accounting policy in the comparative 
reporting period and the beginning of the earliest period presented are below (Note C7).

The change in accounting policy had no impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2019.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020 
reporting and have not been early adopted by the Group.

The most significant of these to the Group are 2019-1 AASB Amendments to Accounting Standards- References to the 
Conceptual Framework, AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Definition of a Business and AASB 
2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Definition of Material.

The Group has not yet considered the estimated impact that these Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards will 
have on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 transaction or balance 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 consolidated 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 (AUD) 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 2020  PWR Holdings Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

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

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.

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 recognised in the Group’s statement of financial 
position under AASB16 (Note H5).

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.

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.

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.

15  Government Grants
Government grants related to assets are initially recognised as deferred income at fair value when received. They are then 
recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset to which the grant relates.

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the 
periods in which the expenses are recognised.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

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 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on
that date; and

The Financial Report comprises: 

• Consolidated statement of financial

position as at 30 June 2020;

• Consolidated statement of profit or loss
and 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

• complying with Australian Accounting

accounting policies; and

Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.

• 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. 

Basis of opinion 

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

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

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

This matter was 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.

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 18.2% of total assets). 
We focused on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Group applied in their value in 
use models, including:  
• forecast cash flows – the Group has 

experienced business disruption as a result 
of COVID-19. This impacted the Group 
through loss of revenue during the financial 
year. This condition, and the uncertainty of 
recurrence, increases the risk of inaccurate 
forecasts. We focused on the expected rate 
of recovery from COVID-19 for the Group 
when assessing the feasibility of the Group’s 
forecast cash flows.  

• forecast growth rates – in addition to the 

uncertainty described above, the C&R Cash 
Generating Unit (CGU) includes the Group’s 
estimate of the expected growth from 
C&R’s involvement in original equipment 
manufacture (OEM) programs. The Group’s 
model is sensitive and negative changes to 
these assumptions reduces available 
headroom. This drives additional audit effort 
specific to the feasibility of forecast growth 
rates.   

• discount rate – these are complicated by 

nature and vary according to the conditions 
and environment the specific CGU is subject 
to from time to time, and economic and 
forecasting uncertainty as a result of COVID-
19.  

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 methods applied by the Group 
to perform the annual impairment testing 
of goodwill and intangible assets against 
the requirements of the accounting 
standards. 

• We, along with our valuation specialists, 
assessed the integrity of the value in use 
models used, including the accuracy of the 
underlying calculation formulas. 

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

• We assessed the accuracy of 

previous Group budgets to inform our 
evaluation of forecasts incorporated 
in the models. 

• We considered the sensitivity of the 

models by varying key assumptions, such 
as forecast cash flows, forecast growth 
rates and discount rates, within a 
reasonably possible range. We did this 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 rate assumptions 
including C&R’s ability to convert OEM 
opportunities, and market uncertainties 
associated with COVID-19. We used our 
knowledge of the Group, their past 
performance and our understanding of factors 
impacting the business and customers in 
which the CGUs operate in.  We used the 
Group’s recent performance to inform our 
assessment of the Group’s recovery from 
COVID-19.  

• Working with our valuation specialists, we 

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

• We assessed the disclosures in the financial 
report using our understanding obtained from 
our testing and against 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 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 and whether the use of 
the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters 
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend 
to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 
so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

•

•

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

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

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

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at:  
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.  This description forms part of our
