Chairman’s Review 

Leveraging our 
expertise into 
new industries

I am delighted to present to you PWR’s 2021 annual 
report.

COVID-19 continued to have an impact on PWR’s business 
during FY2021, largely driven by customers reducing or 
closing their operations for a period of time and some 
relevant sporting events around the globe being cancelled 
or postponed. Kees and the PWR team, however, were 
agile, focused and passionate about delivering returns to 
shareholders and the implementation of plans in pursuit of 
our strategic objectives of diversification, efficiency and 
building solid foundations. The Board recognises that this 
called for extraordinary efforts from the entire workforce 
and the Board is deeply grateful to each and every 
member of the PWR team for the way they were able to 
remain focused on our customers and deliver innovative 
and high-quality products, using our advanced technology.

PWR delivered a strong result for the 2021 financial 
year, with NPAT of $16.8m up 28.7% on the prior period 
(FY2020: $13.1m). The Group continued to deliver on its 
strategic objective to build solid foundations through 
implementation of its ongoing capital investment program 
while still producing a strong return on equity at 26% 
(FY2020: 24%).

Cash flows remain strong and together with efficient 
working capital management resulted in an EBITDA to 
cash conversion ratio of 115% and a strong cash balance 
at 30 June 2021 of $19.9m. PWR also repaid the drawn 
balance on its multicurrency credit facility with the full 
$10 million facility limit available to draw down to support 
future operational requirements, if required. 

Considering these results and balance sheet position, the 
Board has declared a fully franked final dividend of 6.0 
cents per share. This takes the total dividend for FY2021 to 
8.8 cents per share, an increase of 49.2% on the FY2020 
final dividend.

6

During the year, we invested in our people and their 
development, leading edge technology and equipment 
and our systems and processes. We are committed to 
building the solid foundations which will enable PWR to 
continue to grow and diversify. 

Another strategic priority this year and into the future 
is to leverage our motorsport knowledge and expertise 
into the aerospace and defence industry. This has taken a 
significant step forward with the achievement of AS9100 
certification (Rev D). This is an independent endorsement 
of the quality of the processes the team has built in-house 
to support our growing aerospace and defence segment.

This year, Kees was named the 2021 Australian of the 
Year by the Australian Automotive Performance Council 
and we could not be more proud. A fitting accolade for 
a visionary leader. On behalf of the Board and the PWR 
team, we congratulate Kees on a career that has led him 
and PWR to be such exceptional representatives of the 
Australian Performance Automotive Industry.

Looking ahead, uncertainty is likely to persist for some 
time and we expect to face our share of challenges as the 
world continues to respond to COVID-19. Shareholders 
can be confident that your Board will continue to preserve 
our strong balance sheet and focus on creating long-term 
value. Kees and his team are passionate and committed 
to positioning PWR for further growth and success as we 
meet these challenges.

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

developing new technology. We also operate restricted 
areas within our manufacturing sites and do not permit 
phones on the factory floor.

CASHFLOW
Our working capital management remained strong 
for the period ended 30 June 2021 which resulted in a 
cash balance of A$19.9m. We believe we have achieved 
a balanced outcome for all stakeholders and expected 
future business requirements by declaring a fully franked 
final dividend of 6.0 cents per share. 

Our EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was 115% and 
remains strong.

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.

To support growth in FY21, PWR increased the headcount 
from 312 to 363. PWR expects continued growth in FY22 
and beyond and expects further increase to headcount, 
together with a focus on increased productivity and 
efficiency.

We continue to review the organisational structure 
and employee development to ensure this aligns with 
expected operational requirements.

The PWR Team 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 the PWR Team this year with the objective of making 
FY22 another record year on all fronts.

Sustainability 

Investing in Things 
that Matter Go Hand-
in-Hand with Building 
a Sustainable Business

PWR is 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.

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, 
offering work experience to high school students and 
investing in them to build a capable and committed 
workforce to maintain PWR’s exceptional quality 
workmanship and customer service.

Development and Diversity 
Diversity is a consideration that forms part of PWR’s 
long term commercial success and strategy and 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 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 its DNA (respect, 
passion and teamwork) in every decision we make or 
interaction we have.

CASE STUDY

Passionate and Diverse Leadership Helps 
to Build PWR’s Future
PWR embraces diversity and is thrilled to have 
Natarsha as a team leader in our main production 
area of Transmissions and Auxiliary. “Tarsh” as we 
call her recently joined other PWR leaders in a 
front-line leadership training day and is excited 
about her future.

Natarsha Rathmell 

“ When I started with PWR in 2015 I had no idea 
how much work goes into cooling performance 
cars. I never had much of an interest in cars really, 
other than when Indy600 came to the Gold Coast 
each year. But my mum worked here building 
various car radiators and she would come home 
and tell me the different car models she’d built 
that week, from Landcruisers one day, to Audi 
GT3 the next. It all sounded really interesting and 
if she enjoyed it, I might too. Now having worked 
with PWR for 6 years, I am the team leader for 
the transmissions and auxiliary department, and 
I’ve worked in so many areas within the main 
production department. I have helped with various 
components for F1 and am proof that all you 
need is a can-do attitude, willingness to learn 
and a bit of enthusiasm. You don’t need a degree 
or a mechanical mind to progress within such a 
large company. I came from working in a petfood 
factory to working on cooling products and 
performance parts for a range of categories from 
aftermarket to motorsport. I have already taken 
part in the leadership training and am looking 
forward to the direction my career is going. 
The food’s not too bad either.”

We Support our Schools and Apprentices with Development Opportunities
Our apprenticeship and school work experience programs help PWR to build talent for PWR’s future, while also 
giving the trainees the learning opportunities they need to keep moving forward in their careers.

Max Norris has been with PWR since 2018, initially through the PWR School Work Experience Program, Max is 
now in his third year of his Fitter and Turner Apprenticeship. Max is already running the 5 Axis CNC machines 
worth in excess of $1m. 

“   The few years I have worked at PWR thus far has been nothing 
short of an exciting, high paced environment that is filled with 
a positive atmosphere wherever you go. The abundance of 
knowledge that surrounds me and other apprentices is second 
to none. For myself to be given the opportunity to operate 
world class 5 axis CNC machines and rub shoulders with 
talented machinist and programmers so early in my career is 
a challenge that I do not take lightly, and with the support of 
incredible mentors and management, I am confident in my 
abilities as a machinist and constantly eager to learn more. 

   I am excited for the future of PWR and cannot wait to see 

where it can take us next.”

Max Norris

Achievements
Some of the achievements we are proud of are:

   We employed 30 apprentices and 16 work experience students this year

 We made a conscious decision to recruit for part-time roles that cater for those people with the need to be free 
to drop off and pick up their children from school

 We invested in leadership training for our supervisors and plan to continue that programme into the future given 
the tangible benefits it has already delivered.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELLBEING
We care about our employees and are committed to ensuring a safe and healthy workplace. 

COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic was with us again during the year, we maintained personal hygiene and social distancing 
measures at all sites in line with government and Safe Work Australia guidelines. We have played our part in Australia’s drive 
to vaccinate its population against COVID and have given our staff time off to attend COVID vaccination clinics and we pay 
for their transport to and from their vaccination appointments.

Employee Wellbeing
At PWR we believe that investing in the well-being of our employees is an investment in PWR’s future.

CASE STUDY

Looking after our People
At PWR we believe in looking after the health and well-being of our people and one way we can do that is 
through Weely’s Diner at PWR’s Ormeau manufacturing facility which employs over 270 people.

Weely’s Diner is a state-of-the-art purpose-built canteen that offers free of charge, “home” cooked meals to 
our staff at Ormeau in Brisbane. Our head chef Grant, along with Sam and Adrienne serve breakfast, morning 
tea and a hot lunch to all of our staff and the occasional visitor who happens to be here at the right time. 

Kees Weel, Founder and Managing Director, opened up Weely’s Diner in 2008 as he firmly believes that a well 
fed and hydrated workforce is a happier and more productive one. As an added bonus it prompts staff to leave 
their workstations and get up from their chairs, stretch, refresh themselves and interact with others - especially 
those from other teams or departments where they exchange ideas and return to work rejuvenated. 

“  The “Weely’s Diner” represents more than just a financial 
saving for me personally as it takes away the stress and time 
of having to prepare food for myself every day which is hugely 
valuable in my busy lifestyle. Not only is the quality of food 
second to none but the diner also gives a great opportunity to 
catch up both professionally and personally with colleagues 
and is often a highlight of the day.”

Mental Health First Aid Officers
Supporting the mental wellbeing of our employees 
is good for everyone and enhances personal 
and organisational resilience, and success. We 
are proud to have two members of our human 
resources team, Amy and Lauren, trained as 
mental health first aid officers, giving them skills 
to support our employees in times of need.

Amy Kinnane and Lauren Stratton 

“  We are very proud to have our Certification 
in Mental Health Frist Aid. We are both very 
passionate about shining a light on the importance 
of Mental Health and the power of not suffering 
in silence. We have over 270 staff of all ages and 
backgrounds, who spend more time here at work 
than they do at home with their families. It is 
so important that we are able to support every 
single staff member in their physical and mental 
wellbeing by giving them support, guidance and 
access to professional help when and if they need 
it. We want to create an inhouse support network 
so no one ever feels like they are alone and know 
that just one conversation could save a life.”

Safety
We saw an increase in our Lost Time Injury Frequency 
Rate (LTIFR) in 2021 increasing from 3.3 to 5.9, and 
have invested in enhancing our internal governance 
for health and safety oversight and risks which includes 
the establishment of a Health and Safety Committee, 
identification and development of associated mitigation 
actions for our critical safety risks and undertaking 
root cause analysis when a safety or high potential 
incidents occur. 

There have been no fatalities, fines or prosecutions arising 
from safety related breaches across the Group.

Achievements

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

Unfortunately COVID prevented that from happening in 
2020 and we held a virtual AGM where we did our best 
to communicate with our shareholders. We are hopeful 
to hold the 2021 Annual General meeting at our Ormeau 
manufacturing site, offer site tours and interact on a 
personal level with our shareholders, COVID permitting.

We invested in upgrading our website which includes our 
investor portal so shareholders have quick access to key 
reports, announcements, share price and governance 
policies.

Our Customers
When entering into a relationship with our customers, 
PWR does not limit the service to the sale of product, 
but instead partners with the customer to understand 
their project objectives, engaging PWR’s Engineering 
Centre of Excellence and utilising PWR’s expertise in 
advanced technology to quickly develop unique cooling 
solutions that are right for the customer’s application. 
Building upon PWR’s extensive capability from design 
conception through to project delivery and validation, 
this collaborative approach often extends as far as having 
customers, including the world’s premier Formula 1 teams, 
work on-site alongside PWR engineering and production 
staff to optimise their cooling solutions.

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 Great Cycle Challenge (kids fighting cancer), Movember, Shave for a Cure and held gold coin donation lunches 
for community causes such as drought relief and bushfires and raised over $5,000.

OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The Corporate Governance statement of the Group is available through the Group website and is also released to the 
ASX as part of our annual reporting. 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. 

Risk management is fundamental to maximising the value of our business and informing PWR’s strategic direction. 

We believe that effective risk management enables us to identify priorities, allocate resources, demonstrate due diligence 
in discharging legal and regulatory obligations, and meet the standards and expectations of our stakeholders. 

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

We particularly focus on strategic and material risks and 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. 

See below for summary of our material risks and how we manage them:

Protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of our people

PWR’s DNA calls out respect. 
Respect for our employees 
and respect for each other. 
We strive to ensure that a 
culture of respect promotes 
a safe workplace where 
everyone goes home safe 
every day. We also believe 
that providing our employees 
with health and wellbeing 
opportunities supports a 
happier, healthier, more 
productive workforce and 
workplace.

We have identified and regularly talk about our critical safety risks.

 We investigate the root cause of all safety incidents, identify key learnings and talk 
about them in our toolbox talks.

 We are continuously improving our working environments to make them safer and 
more productive for our people.

 We have set up an Employee Assistance Program to help employees deal with life’s 
challenges by giving them and their families free access to professionals who can 
provide them with strategies to minimise stress and manage their mental health.

 We have two qualified mental health first aid officers at PWR’s Ormeau 
manufacturing facility.

Managing the challenges that come with rapid growth

PWR has worked hard to get 
where we are and have grown 
our business year on year but 
with this comes challenge. 
The challenge of managing 
and communicating with 
a larger workforce, more 
workload, the need for 
more factory space, better 
systems and processes, more 
customers and new advances 
in technology, to name a few.

16

 We seek to address this risk through one of our strategic objectives – 
Solid Foundations.

 First and foremost we need to stay focused on our people at all times, no matter 
how demanding our business growth becomes - because our people are responsible 
for driving our growth. We have invested in a highly capable human resource area to 
provide the extra support and focus required.

 With growth comes change and maintaining open channels of communication with 
our people is essential. We are committed to ensuring each and every employee 
understands our vision and purpose and their role in helping to deliver them.

 We are focused on ensuring we have robust systems and processes that facilitate 
knowledge transfer for the production of our many products. When everyone 
follows a well-tested set of steps, we reduce the likelihood of mistakes, delays 
and duplicated effort.

 We are investing in a new Enterprise Resource Planning system that will support 
PWR’s business for years to come.

Protecting our intellectual property and managing cyber security risks

Protection of PWR’s 
intellectual property and 
that of our customers is 
paramount.

 We have undertaken 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.

 We have strict confidentiality procedures in place when developing new technology.

 We operate restricted areas within our manufacturing sites and do not permit phones 
on the factory floor.

Talent identification, recruitment and retention

Our ability to identify, 
attract and retain key talent 
and develop capabilities is 
fundamental to delivering 
our strategic objectives.

Diversifying our business

Our objective is to 
leverage our research and 
development and success in 
providing cooling solutions 
to motorsport into other 
industries where we can use 
our know-how and add value.

 We focus on enhancing our offerings to employees and potential employees to 
distinguish ourselves in the market through targeted and effective approaches to 
talent and recruitment management.

 We focus on succession planning and we identify key talent and provide them with 
experience and growth through time in critical roles and identify relevant external 
training for their skills development. 

 We continue to improve our long-term workforce planning and talent management 
program across PWR. 

 We invest in our leaders to support their skills in leading and managing their teams.

 We keep our strategy front of mind as it informs the decisions, we make about 
leveraging our existing cooling solutions into new industries.

We regularly evaluate our strategic objectives with the Board. 

 We have a dedicated advanced technology team focused on building a pipeline 
of opportunities. 

We strategically invest in leading edge manufacturing technology.

 We invested in securing AS9100 accreditation (aerospace and defence quality 
standard) and are working towards other important certifications.

Maintaining our leading edge through innovation and advanced technology

Technology and innovation 
are advancing at a rapid 
pace and we pride ourselves 
at being at the forefront of 
technology advances in the 
field of cooling however 
it requires continued 
investment and focus and 
falling behind is not an option.

We are continuously investing in research and development.

 We adopt quality control approaches in everything we do and use advanced 
technology to problem solve for customers.

 We introduced capability for serialisation of products including full traceability 
of components and raw materials used in the production process back to raw 
material source.

 We attend trade shows and keep up to date with the latest advances in technology.

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

RECYCLING 
At PWR, aluminium is used almost exclusively in the production of our high-performance cooling solutions. This material 
is abundant, easy to fabricate and one of the most widely recycled materials. During the 2020-2021 financial year we 
recycled 181 tonnes of aluminium, up 11% on that recycled in 2019-20.

Operating and financial review

The operating and financial results for the year ended 30 June 2021 have been 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 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 in FY20 and FY21 and have since resumed on a full or modified program.

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 was an eligible employer for the JobKeeper program. This 
program commenced in April 2020 and continued until 27 September 2020. 

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 for FY20 and 
FY21, and the USA Federal Government Pay Check Protection Program for FY20. The UK Government furlough scheme 
was immaterial to the Group results due to the small number of eligible staff employed at PWR Europe Ltd.

facility limit available to draw down to support operational requirements if required.

Annual Report 2021           PWR Holdings LimitedRevenue 
The Group achieved overall revenue growth of 20.5% compared to the prior corresponding period. Organic revenue 
increased by 25.7% but was offset by unfavourable exchange rate movements of (5.2%). 

The above growth was primarily driven by third party sales out of the United States of America, United Kingdom and Australia, 
where sales grew 64.2%, 10.3% and 17.2% respectively. 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Exchange rate movements saw the GBP being 2.7% stronger at 30 June 2021 and the US dollar being (9.6%) weaker 
compared to the prior period. In contrast, average rates during the financial year saw the GBP (4.1%) weaker and the US dollar 
(11.2%) weaker than the prior period.

The net impact of exchange rate movements had an unfavourable impact on revenue for the year of ($3.40m) (FY20: 
favourable $2.58m).

EBITDA
Despite the negative impact on revenue of foreign exchange rate movements, EBITDA in FY21 compared to the prior 
corresponding period was stronger mainly due to:

 – Solid revenue growth across the motorsports, OEM, automotive aftermarket and emerging technologies sectors;
 – Production costs control;
 – Benefits from the JobKeeper program; and
 – Administration and overhead costs increasing at a lower rate than sales and EBITDA.

Operating and financial review
continued

Net profit after tax 
Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $16.80 million (FY20: $13.05 million). 

Operating cash flow
The Group continued its strong cash conversion rate with FY21 operating cash flow (excluding change in working capital, 
interest and tax) of $33.2 million, a conversion of 115% 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 $19.9 million (FY20: $20.8 million). 

Working capital utilisation has improved from 128 days at 30 June 2020 to 66 days at 30 June 2021 due largely to a 
reduction in stock turnover days.

Capital expenditure for the year was $10.4 million (FY20: $7.8 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 solid 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 2021 dividend of 6.00 cents per share 
bringing the total dividend to 8.80 cents per share. 

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

The PWR Performance Products segment generated external revenue of $54.9 million (FY20: $50.2 million), The increase was 
due to the recovery of customer operations post the initial impact of COVID-19.

The C&R segment generated external revenue of $24.3 million (FY20: $15.6 million). This is a strong result resulting from 
increased sales from the OEM, Automotive Aftermarket and Emerging Technology sectors.

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 2021 and using currently available information has resulted in the current values continuing to 
be recognised.

Kees Weel is the founder of PWR and 
has been awarded the 2021 Australian 
Performance Automotive Industry 
“Australian of the Year”. From the humble 
beginnings of hand making his first copper 
and brass radiator in 1982 to a visionary 
leader of PWR, Kees has lead PWR on an 
extraordinary journey that has cemented 
PWR’s reputation globally for quality 
and innovative cooling products and 
unparalleled customer service. 
It was Kees’ inspiration to begin 
manufacturing radiators that quickly 
led to a ready-made customer base 
that required superior quality and 
capability from radiators. With an 
ever growing business and in-demand 
product, in 2006 Kees started building, 
what is today, PWR’s state of the art 
manufacturing facility at Ormeau. Kees’s 

uniquely Australian approach to business is 
his greatest strength, where no challenge 
is too big and an ethos that everything can 
be made with time, money and hard work. 
Following its listing on the ASX, Kees has

pursue opportunities with emerging technologies in existing and new markets and categories during the next financial year. 

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

8. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
The Board declared a fully franked final 2021 ordinary dividend of 6.00 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 2021. 

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.

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental 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. 

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

Remuneration Report
for the year ended 30 June 2021

1. LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE 
Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board, I’m pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

This report seeks to describe, in a simple and transparent way, our approach to remunerating Executive key management 
personnel (Executive KMP) and the key principles that underpin our Pay for Performance Framework, as well as 
remuneration for our Non-Executive Directors. 

Short-term incentive 
The intent of the Short-Term Incentive (STI) is to focus our Executive KMP on what they can influence in the performance 
year. For the STI to be activated for Executive KMP, they have to meet the STI Gate established by the Board. If PWR 
exceeds the STIP Gate, this unlocks a greater STI amount for Executive KMP and forms the basis of a stretch target. This 
is a key feature of the STI Plan that assists the Board in aligning the creation of shareholder value with actual company 
performance. The STI Gate is a financial measure linked to budgeted EBIT or NPAT. Depending on whether the gate is met 
or exceeded, the Corporate Scorecard which sets out a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus Executive 
KMP and other STI Plan participants on areas that align to growth, safety and product quality. The more the STI Gate is 
exceeded, the more of the Corporate Scorecard is unlocked.

As outlined in more detail on page 41, the Company fell slightly short of the STI gate and accordingly Executive KMP did 
not earn STIs for the year ended 30 June 2021. This was disappointing given the significant effort and contribution they 
made during the reporting period for which I and my fellow directors sincerely thank them. 

Long-term incentive 
The LTI is the component of Executive KMP remuneration most closely linked to the shareholder experience as it rewards 
Executive KMP for delivery of returns to shareholders that exceed peer benchmarks over a three-year period. 

The LTI has two performance hurdles and a service condition that are assessed at the end of a 3-year performance period. 
For LTI grant in FY2021, the Board modified the EPS hurdle so going forward the performance hurdles for the LTIP are 
compound growth in Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) benchmarked against the ASX 300 
(excluding Energy sector (oil, gas and coal)). The modified EPS hurdle aligns more closely with shareholders’ interests and 
participants now need to demonstrate a compound annual growth rate for EPS over the 3-year performance period in 
excess of 10% for all rights linked to that hurdle to vest.

Long-term incentive | vesting
Just as shareholders have been rewarded by the increase in PWR’s share price, Executive KMP were rewarded by the 
increase in value of their performance rights and their ultimate LTI vesting outcome during the reporting period with the 
exception of the Managing Director who elects not to participants in the LTIP given his significant shareholding.

At the end of June 2020, following a 3-year performance period:

 – PWR ranked at the 90th percentile for Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the performance period for the FY2018 
performance rights (1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020) when compared to the benchmark group of ASX 300 (excluding 
Energy sector (oil, gas and coal))

 – our EPS hurdle for the FY2018 performance rights was measured by the growth in EPS from FY2018 (base year) to the 
end of the third year of the Performance Period (FY2020). The EPS growth rate was 40.5%, a compound growth rate 
of 12%

As a result, 100% of the FY2018 performance rights vested on 1 September 2020 and provided the Executives an 
equivalent number of PWR shares.

for the year ended 30 June 2021

1. LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE (continued)

Looking forward 

The Board has confidence in the integrity of the Pay for Performance Framework and believes it incorporates the 
necessary flexibility to continue to balance rewarding our Executive KMP for performance and recognising the interests 
of shareholders, however we plan to engage a remuneration consultant to undertake a review of our framework in FY2022 
and will report the outcomes of this review to shareholders in our FY2022 remuneration report.

Executives who report to the Managing Director will not receive an increase to Fixed Remuneration in FY2022 and Fees 
for the Non-Executive Directors will also remain unchanged in FY2022. The Managing Director received a 9% increase in 
TFR to bring it closer to the median of the benchmark.

Our Corporate Scorecard for FY2022 will continue to focus our Executive KMP and people they lead on our business 
priorities including implementing controls to keep our people safe and well, growing our emerging technology business, 
maintaining exceptional product quality and improving productivity.

In what continues to be an extraordinary time, managing the impact of COVID-19, I wish to thank our shareholders for their 
continued support.

Sincerely,

4.  PWR’S PAY FOR PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK
The pages of the Remuneration Report that follow (together with Table 1 PWR Group’s Historical Performance) have been 
prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act) and audited as required by section 
308(3C) of the Act. These sections relate to those persons who were KMP of PWR during FY21, being the Executive KMP 
named on page 23 and the Non-Executive Directors of PWR named on page 22.

4.1 Remuneration Governance
The Board is accountable for establishing the remuneration policies and framework for the PWR Group and ensuring 
remuneration of the Managing Director and Senior Executives is fair and reasonable and aligned with the interests of 
shareholders. Outlined below is the Board’s framework for remuneration governance:

Board

Nomination and 
Remuneration 
Committee (NRC)

The Board is responsible for setting remuneration policy and determining Non-Executive Director, 
Managing Director and Executive remuneration. In addition, the Board is responsible for approving 
all key performance indicators and performance hurdles set under the Executive KMP variable 
remuneration framework, being the Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and the Long Term Incentive 
Plan (LTIP). The Board delegates responsibility to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
(NRC) for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on these matters. The Board 
retains full discretion to decrease or increase outcomes to ensure that they are fair and reasonable. 
It can use this discretion to decrease or increase the outcome as it considers appropriate. The 
Board has regular contact with each of the Executive KMP during the year.

The NRC makes recommendations to the Board regarding all aspects of Executive KMP 
remuneration. This includes making recommendations in relation to the targets to be included in 
the STIP (both the financial and non-financial) and in relation to setting performance hurdles that 
attach to Performance Rights under the LTIP. The Group’s Managing Director provides updates and 
makes recommendations to the NRC on these matters in relation to his direct reports throughout 
the year. To inform the Board and NRC, and to assist with their decision-making processes, 
additional information and data is sought from management and remuneration consultants, as 
required. The NRC Charter sets out further information regarding the Committee’s objectives 
and role.

4.  PWR’S PAY FOR PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK (continued)

Responsibility for 
determining NED 
remuneration

The Board is responsible for assessing Non-Executive Director (NED) fees, assisted by the NRC. 
Shareholders approve the total NED remuneration cap. Shareholders have approved a cap of 
$750,000 per annum. Reviews of NED Board and Committee fees are carried out periodically with 
assistance of independent benchmarking reports and/or consultants. 

Managing Director  Our Managing Director makes recommendations to the NRC regarding Executives and how the  

Pay for Performance Policy and framework applies to all our employees.

Remuneration 
Consultants

Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Limited (GRG) provided advice on the Termination Benefit Limit 
and how it applied to a member of the Executive KMP of the Company. GRG was paid $2,000 + 
GST for the advice.

4.2 Pay for Performance Remuneration Principles
The guiding principles governing PWR’s Pay for Performance Policy and how we implement them are summarised in the 
table below:

How we meet these principles

Remuneration will incorporate 
external market reference 
to maintain market 
competitiveness 

We periodically undertake remuneration benchmarking using 
independent renumeration consultants to maintain market 
competitiveness and ensure our reward supports PWR in 
both attracting and retaining key talent.

Guiding Principles

Attract and Retain

Pay Executives for 
Performance that 
Delivers Value to 
Shareholders

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 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 
objectives. 

We also ensure our reward outcomes are aligned to 
performance by providing a significant part of Executive 
KMP’s ‘at risk” remuneration on achieving both financial and 
non-financial measures 

We align short term and long term performance measures to 
our strategy and vision. This includes a focus on PWR being 
a safe place to work, ensuring our reputation for quality 
products is maintained, achieving key strategic priorities and 
achieving leading total shareholder returns. 

PWR’s DNA is at the centre of how we work together to 
deliver on our goals. 

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

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.

Promote Internal 
Fairness and Equity

Always Consider 
PWR’s Capacity to Pay

Build Trust by 
Promoting 
Transparency

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

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

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

4.3. Pay for Performance Framework
The remuneration framework for Executive KMP comprises two elements:

1.  Fixed remuneration, and
2.  Performance linked or “at risk” remuneration (short and long term components).

37

Remuneration Report
for the year ended 30 June 2021

4.  PWR’S PAY FOR PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK (continued)

4.3.1.  Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration is set with reference to the median of PWR’s peers and 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 Executive KMP following recommendations from 
the NRC. The NRC 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 Executive KMP’s role and accountabilities, relevant market benchmarks and attraction, retention and 
motivation of Executives in the context of the overall market.

4.3.2.  Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) - at risk
The Executive KMP are eligible to participate in the Group’s short-term incentive plan. 

STIP Design
Under the STIP, Executive KMP have an opportunity to receive an annual cash bonus calculated as a percentage of their 
total fixed remuneration (TFR). There are three components to the STIP:

1.  STIP Gate

2.  Company Scorecard (financial and non-financial KPIs at a company level)

3. 

 Personal Scorecard (financial and non-financial KPIs at a business unit\personal level together with demonstration of 
PWR’s DNA)

Figure 3 Operation of STIP for Executive KMP, presents a diagrammatic representation of the mechanics of the STIP with 
targeted STIP being up to 55% of maximum and stretch components providing up to 100% of maximum STIP opportunity.

4.  PWR’S PAY FOR PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK (continued)

Personal Scorecard

At the beginning of the performance period, the Board establishes personal KPIs for the Managing Director and the Managing 
Director recommends personal KPIs for the Executives for Board approval. Personal KPIs represent 40% of the maximum 
potential cash bonus payable to the Executive KMP and for payment to be made against these KPIs, the STI gate must have been 
met. If the STIP gate is not met, irrespective of whether the KPIs have been achieved, they attract no cash payment.

4.3.3.  Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) – at risk
The Executive KMP are eligible to participate in the Group’s long term incentive plan.

The LTIP is an equity-based incentive designed to provide participants with the incentive to deliver growth in shareholder value. 

Performance Rights
Executive KMP are invited by the Board to apply for performance rights (“Rights”) on an annual basis under the LTIP.

Performance Period
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.

Performance Hurdles
The performance hurdles for the Rights granted in FY2021 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 Energy sector (oil, gas and coal)). TSR is calculated by an independent 
third party, comparing the TSR percentile rank that PWR holds relative to the benchmark group for the relevant 3-year 
performance period.

TSR Ranking (TSR)

TSR is 50% or less 

TSR is more than 50% but less than 75%

TSR is 75% or more

Vesting outcome

Nil vesting

Pro rata vesting

100% vesting

 – 50% of the rights will vest based on compound growth in annual Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) relative to a target set by 
the Board. Vesting is determined by the compound annual growth rate in EPS over the 3-year Performance Period 
measured against specific EPS targets.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Vesting outcome

Compound annual growth rate of EPS <4%

Nil vesting

Compound annual growth rate of EPS ≥4% to ≤ 10%

Pro rata vesting

Compound annual growth rate of EPS >10%

100% vesting

The EPS hurdle for the FY2021 Rights is different to that attached to Rights granted in prior financial years. The Board, 
following feedback from some shareholders, changed the hurdle from an EPS growth rate to compound annual growth 
rate over the 3-year performance period. The revised EPS hurdle applies to Rights granted from FY2021 onwards.

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

Rights that do not vest at the end of the three-year period lapse, unless the Board in its discretion determines otherwise. 
Upon cessation of employment prior to the vesting date, Rights may be forfeited and lapse unless the Board in its 
discretion determines otherwise. Rights do not entitle holders to dividends that are declared during the vesting period.

3. 

 Stuart Smith ceased employment on 23 April 2021. The Board exercised its discretion to award an amount equivalent to Mr Smith’s STI for FY2021 
which was paid out on cessation of employment. He was not granted any performance rights under the LTIP in FY2021. Refer to Table 12 for the vesting 
of performance rights during the reporting period.

4.5.  FY2021 STIP Outcomes

4.5.1.  STIP Gate
The gate for the STIP for FY2021 was the NPAT target established by the Board. If the STIP gate is met, the FY2021 
Company Scorecard is then assessed with the outcome making up 25% of the maximum attributed to the Company 
Scorecard. An increasing amount of STIP is available depending on by how much the STIP gate is exceeded. In FY2021, the 
NPAT had to be exceeded by 5% to receive 50% entitlement, by 10% to receive 75% entitlement and 15% to receive 100% 
entitlement to the Company Scorecard outcome.

The NPAT gate was not met for FY2021. 

At the beginning of the reporting period, the Board established Company KPIs which together formed the Company 
Scorecard. Subject to the STIP gate being met or exceeded the Company Scorecard accounts for up to 60% of the 
maximum potential cash bonus payable to Executive KMP. Corporate KPIs on the Company Scorecard align interest and 
performance at a Group level and to be achieved require strategic thinking, collaboration, and business wide leadership 
which ultimately improves both short and long term shareholder value.

Notwithstanding that the STIP gate was not met, for transparency an assessment of Corporate KPIs is outlined below:

was not met.

The Group recorded 
a LTIFR of 5.9 at 30

6. REMUNERATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS DURING REPORTING PERIOD 

6.1.  NED Remuneration Policy
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 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.
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.

6.2.  NED Remuneration
The following table sets out the remuneration rates for Non-Executive Directors through annual Board and Committee 
fees (inclusive of superannuation) during the reporting period.

Annual Report 2021           PWR Holdings LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2021

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 2021 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 (AASB) 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 19th August 2021. 

(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) and C6 (Intangible assets).

A3 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out in Section I to the consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently to all 
periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

for the year ended 30 June 2021

SECTION B BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

B1  Operating segments
The Group has two strategic divisions, which are its operating segments. These divisions offer similar products and 
services, but 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 

PWR North America 

 Designing and manufacturing high end racing products, OEM products, Emerging 
Technology products, and automotive aftermarket products for non-USA markets.
 Designing and manufacturing racing and OEM and Emerging Technology products 
primarily for the USA market. The PWR North America segment had previously been 
referred to as C&R with the composition of this segment remaining the same.

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.

SECTION C OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

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

Value in use is calculated based on the present value of the cash flow projections over a five year period and include a 
terminal value at the end of year five. The cash flow projections over the five year period are based on the Group’s budget 
for 2022 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 PWR North American CGU, the cashflow projections include management’s estimate of the expected growth from 
PWR North America’s involvement in OEM programs as a cooling assembly supplier, growth in Emerging Technologies, 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 
volatility in capital markets. 

Management have considered sensitivities to the recoverable amount. The sensitivities applied includes a decrease in 
revenue of 10% for FY22 with revenue returning to forecast from FY23 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

SECTION D EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

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

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

Vesting of the performance rights approved during the year is subject to meeting a 3 year service condition and 
achievement of performance hurdles (based on either an EPS growth target or total shareholder return (TSR) ranking). The 
performance period for the rights issued is from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023.

27,599 (2020: 46,486) 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 2021, 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 $400,899 (2020: $330,000) was recognised during the year and included 
in “employee expenses” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The EPS performance hurdle for the performance rights issued during the year is based on the compound annual growth 
rate in EPS. The EPS performance hurdle for performance rights issued in prior years is based on the three year growth in 
EPS. At 30 June 2021, there were 54,660 performance rights that had been issued in prior years that are subject to the 
three year growth in EPS performance hurdle.

Measurement of fair values
The fair value of the TSR component of the performance rights has been measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The 
fair value of the EPS component of the performance rights has been measured using the Black Scholes formula. The inputs 
used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments were as follows:

Fair value at grant date

Share price at grant date

Exercise price

Expected volatility

Risk free rate

Expected life

Expected dividends

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.

Lease extension options
The property leases include extension options exercisable by the Group between three (3) and six (6) months before the 
expiry of the non-cancellable contract period. Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new 
leases to provide operational flexibility and certainty. Extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by 
the lessors. 

The Group assesses at the lease commencement dates whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. 
The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant 
changes in circumstances within its control.

Other commitments
At 30 June 2021, the Group had agreed to purchase plant and equipment for $3.3 million (2020: $4.9 million) within

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 $19,857,387 at 30 June 2021 (2020: $20,804,705), 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 (2020: Nil). 

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

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

 – A$10,000,000 foreign currency advance facility (multicurrency); 
 – A$7,500,000 asset finance facility; 
 –  A$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 2021, the Group had entered into participating forward contracts to manage its 
exposure to sales denominated in GBP. These contracts, which settle monthly until 30 December 2021, have a total 
notional amount of £3.9 million (2020: £1.15 million) and have been accounted for at fair value through the profit and loss. 
The fair value at year end was a liability of $54,240 (2020: $105,123 asset). 

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group recognised $202,892 in realised gains (2020: $172,362 gain) and 
$563,280 in unrealised losses on derivatives (2020: $288,506 loss). 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 0.5426 to the GBP and 0.7512 to the USD (2020: 0.5579 
to the GBP and 0.6854 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 2020, using consistent foreign exchange rate variances, as indicated below.

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 2020. A number of other new standards are effective from 
1 July 2020 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) issued a final agenda 
decision, Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The decision discusses whether 
configuration or customisation expenditure relating to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements is able to be 
recognised as an intangible asset and if not, over what time period the expenditure is expensed. The Group has adopted 
this agenda decision within the financial statements. 

The Group has not extensively utilised SaaS arrangements and the historical accounting policy has been to expense all such 
costs in the profit or loss over the period in which the service is received. The adoption of this agenda decision has not 
impacted the financial statements of the Group.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted 
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 
reporting and have not been early adopted by the Group.

The most significant of these to the Group are AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – 
Annual Improvements and Other Amendments, and AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – 
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current.

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

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1  Basis of consolidation

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

Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are 
eliminated. 

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.

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.

Annual Report 2021           PWR Holdings LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2021

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. 

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

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

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. 
The following temporary differences are not provided for: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets 
and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and difference relating to investments in subsidiaries to the 
extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the 
expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or 
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, 
and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, 
but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised 
simultaneously.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group considers 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.

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

2021

2020

2-10 years

2-10 years

4-6 years

4-6 years

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

9  Intangible assets and goodwill

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

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

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

82

Annual Report 2021           PWR Holdings LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2021

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 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.

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 most of the liability over the next year.

83

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2021

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

12  Leases

Leased assets
Assets held by the Group under finance 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. After initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in 
accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. 

Assets held under other leases are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position under AASB16. These assets 
are classified as right-of-use assets and are presented as property, plant and equipment. Further information about the 
right-of-use assets is included in Note C5 – Property, Plant and Equipment.

AASB 16 Leases
The Group, as a lessee, assesses whether a contract is or contains 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.

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. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.

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 asset.

SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. After 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. After 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. After initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally 
recognised in profit or loss. 

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.

Several 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 I13 – 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.

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 2021 and of 
its financial performance for the year ended 
on that date; and 

• 

complying with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001. 

The Financial Report comprises: 

•  Consolidated statement of financial 

position as at 30 June 2021; 

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

•  Notes including a summary of significant 

accounting policies; and 

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

Basis for 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 

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.

for the year ended 30 June 2021

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets $14.9m 

Refer to Note C6 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

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 PWR NA’s ability to convert OEM and 
emerging technology 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. 

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 
17% 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 
experienced business disruption as a result 
of COVID-19. 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 PWR North 
America (PWR NA) Cash Generating Unit 
(CGU) includes the Group’s estimate of the 
expected growth from PWR NA’s 
involvement in original equipment 
manufacture (OEM) programs and emerging 
technologies. The Group’s model is 
sensitive to changes, and negative changes 
to these assumptions reduces available 
headroom. This drives additional audit effort 
specific to the feasibility of forecast growth 
rates.   

•  discount rates – these are complicated by 
nature and vary according to the conditions 
and environment the specific CGU is subject 
to from time to time. 

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.

for the year ended 30 June 2021

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. 

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 
Auditor’s Report.
