Chairman’s Review 

Growth | Profitability | Excellence

Teresa Handicott 
Chairman

optimisation of our current ERP system and assessment 
of a number of global human resource management 
systems with selection to be made in FY23.

Last year we made a significant step forward with the 
achievement of AS9100 certification (Rev D) to support 
our growth into the aerospace and defence industry. 
This year we have added to our capabilities by achieving 
Nadcap® Accreditations for our chemical processing 
and heat treating applications. The accreditation follows 
recent site audits of both chemical processing and heat 
treating applications and sets PWR up extremely well 
to support the targeted growth in our aerospace and 
defence business. 

COVID-19 continued to have an impact on PWR’s 
business during FY22, with the challenge of managing 
unplanned staff absences and disruptions to our supply 
chain. Kees and the PWR team remained focused 
and as always, passionate about delivering returns to 
shareholders. Their efforts and focus were guided by 
PWR’s strategic objectives of growth, profitability and 
excellence and a risk culture that saw us proactively 
manage employee absences and supply chain 
constraints caused by COVID-19.

The Board recognises that what has been achieved 
in FY22 in the face of these challenges 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 to deliver innovative and high-quality 
products, using our advanced technology while also 
looking after their team mates and isolating and wearing 
masks when required.

Looking ahead, we are focused on delivering growth, 
profitability and excellence and putting plans in place 
now to support PWR’s future.

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

I am delighted to present to you 
PWR’s 2022 annual report in what 
has been a record year for PWR.

PWR delivered a record result for the 2022 financial year, 
with Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $20.8m up 24.1% on 
the prior period (FY21: $16.8m). The Group continued to 
deliver on its growth objective through implementation 
of its strategy, ongoing capital investment and research 
and development programs while still producing a strong 
return on equity at 27% (FY21: 26%).

Cash flows were impacted by the decision to increase 
inventories of raw materials in response to global supply 
chain challenges, including the impact of the war in 
Ukraine on global aluminium supplies. The decision to 
increase inventories of raw materials has resulted in an 
EBITDA to operating cash conversion ratio of 66% (FY21: 
108%). The Group retains a strong cash balance at 30 
June 2022 of $21.5m (FY21: $19.9m) and remains debt 
free, with access to its $10m multicurrency and $7.5m 
equipment finance facilities to support future operational 
requirements, if required. 

Considering these results and balance sheet position, 
the Board has declared a fully franked final dividend 
of 8.50 cents per share, taking the full year dividend to 
12.00 cents per share, an increase of 36.4% on last year’s 
full year dividend (FY21: 8.80 cents per share).

During the year, we continued to invest in our people and 
their development with the commencement of a front 
line leadership program, focusing initially on participants’ 
understanding their own behavioural leadership styles 
and their impact on those they lead and work with. We 
also invested in leading edge technology and equipment 
to support our new PWR North America aerospace and 
defence machine shop which is scheduled to open in 
September 2022. To ensure a solid foundation for our 
growth plans, we have also invested in our systems and 
processes with the commencement of a review and

Kees Weel 
Founder & Managing Director

PWR has performed strongly during the 2022 financial year despite the 
ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the global supply chain challenges. 

PWR has delivered solid revenue and profit growth across all major market sectors, in particular emerging technologies. 
We have maintained a strong balance sheet and are well prepared to deliver on opportunities in the next few years.

Cashflow
The EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was impacted by a deliberate decision to increase the amount of raw material 
inventory in response to global supply chain challenges. Our EBITDA to cash conversion ratio was 66%.

The cash balance has increased from $19.9m at 30 June 2021 to $21.5m at 30 June 2022. We believe we have achieved 
a balanced outcome for all stakeholders and expected future business requirements by declaring a fully franked final 
dividend of 8.50 cents per share. 

Revenue
Group revenue grew strongly in FY22 with solid growth across all key market sectors including motorsports, automotive 
aftermarket, automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and aerospace and defence. Revenue also grew 
across all major geographic markets with the strongest growth in Europe which grew an impressive 35.9% due to growth 
in automotive OEM and emerging technologies.

PWR Australia and Europe
PWR Performance Products (based in Australia) and 
PWR Europe continue to supply most motorsport 
categories with cooling technology. In FY22 the supply of 
cooling technology to automotive OEM and the supply 
of emerging technologies to existing and new customer 
markets have been significant growth drivers for the 
business.

PWR C&R
PWR C&R (based in the USA) has successfully delivered 
automotive OEM and emerging technology programs, 
including solid growth in the automotive aftermarket.

PWR C&R is well placed to further develop these market 
sectors, supported by investment in new factory capacity 
and expanded equipment capacity and capability.

Centres of Excellence
PWR has 2 manufacturing hubs able to service customers 
globally.

A key aspect of our corporate strategy is having Centres 
of Excellence for the different aspects of our business 
including manufacturing operations, engineering, 
design, testing, research and development and corporate 
services. These will ensure appropriately located and 
resourced specialised teams collectively focus on 
delivering the best outcomes for the Group.

Technology Developments
PWR deploys advanced technologies into our 
manufacturing processes to ensure we remain at the 
forefront of manufacturing capability and complexity 
for both existing customers as well as potential new 
customers and industries.

During FY22, these technologies of cold plates, micro 
matrix and additive manufacturing have been further 
developed and commercialised. Our application of these 
technologies continues to expand as current and potential 
customers embrace the benefits, including customers in 
the aerospace and defence, electric and hybrid vehicle 
and alternative energy sectors.

The Future
Visibility of our growth potential for the next 5 to 10 years 
has never been better and this allows us to invest with 
confidence.

To support growth in FY22, PWR increased the 
headcount from 363 to 451. PWR expects continued 
growth in FY23 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 
FY23 another record year on all fronts.

 Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) is a non-IFRS term which has not been subject to audit or review but has been

Revenue
The Group achieved overall revenue growth of 27.6% compared to the prior corresponding period. Organic revenue 
increased by 25.8% plus favourable exchange rate movements of 1.8%. 

The above growth was primarily driven by third party sales out of the United Kingdom, Australia, and the 
United States of America, where sales grew 35.9%, 34.1% and 17.9% respectively. 

Exchange rate movements saw the GBP being (4.6%) weaker at 30 June 2022 and the US dollar being 8.3% stronger 
compared to the prior period. Average rates during the financial year saw the GBP 1.6% stronger and the US dollar 2.8% 
stronger than the prior period.

The net impact of exchange rate movements had a favourable impact on revenue for the year of $1.46m (FY21: 
unfavourable $3.40m).

EBITDA
Assisted by the positive impact on revenue of foreign exchange rate movements, EBITDA in FY22 compared to the prior 
corresponding period was stronger mainly due to:

 – Solid revenue growth across the motorsports, OEM, aerospace and defence, and automotive aftermarket sectors;
 – Production costs control; and
 – Administration and overhead costs control.

Net profit after tax 
Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $20.84 million (FY21: $16.80 million). 

Operating cash flow
The Group cash conversion rate was impacted by the decision to increase inventories of raw materials in response to global 
supply chain challenges, including the impact of the war in Ukraine on global aluminium supplies. FY22 operating cash 
flow (excluding interest and tax) was $23.52 million, a conversion of 66% from EBITDA.

Balance sheet management
The balance sheet remains strong with cash of $21.5 million (FY21: $19.9 million). 

Working capital utilisation has increased from 65 days at 30 June 2021 to 130 days at 30 June 2022 due largely to the 
increase in raw material inventory in response to global supply chain challenges.

Capital expenditure for the year was $5.0 million (FY21: $10.4 million). The capital expenditure was lower than the prior 
corresponding period due to the timing of purchase orders being placed and extended equipment delivery times. 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 expected contribution 
of EBITDA to operating cash flows, the Board has declared a final 2022 dividend of 8.50 cents per share bringing the total 
dividend paid to 12.00 cents per share.

Review of operating segments
The Group has two operating segments, PWR Performance Products which comprises its Australian and European

Employee Engagement

Bringing Our Employees and Customers 
Together
PWR is fortunate to be able to call some of the world’s 
leading companies and race teams our customers, and 
this provides our staff a tremendous source of pride 
in the work they do, and for the applications that their 
work serves. PWR is extremely proud of its company 
uniform, but it has long been a tradition that PWR staff are 
encouraged on a Friday to wear shirts that represent our 
customer base. Fridays will see staff wearing motorsport 
team shirts from Formula 1, Moto GP, NASCAR, WRC and 
Supercars to name just a few, as well as representation of 
other prestige marques from the automotive industry.

This tradition serves as a constant reminder of the 
importance in the role PWR plays in supporting this 
customer’s base, and that our staff are an extension of 
our customer’s own teams with each playing a critical 
role in the success of delivering a high quality and high 
performing end product or solution. 

Our customers are appreciative of this demonstration 
of our partnership and are supportive with initiatives, 
supplying discounts and access to their branded 
merchandise to PWR staff, because all parties benefit 
from the increased engagement this delivers.

Employee Opportunities 
It is also a tradition within PWR that each year the 
company takes a select group of high performing staff 
from the prior year to Albert Park in Melbourne for the 
Formula One Grand Prix where they have the opportunity 
to see some of the results of their hard work in the 
products PWR supplies to Formula 1. It’s a great team 
building experience and a further point of connection 
to the dedicated work completed to have access to see 
and appreciate the importance of the products and 
services they are responsible for delivering. This is also 
an opportunity to hear firsthand from the teams the 
positive influence PWR makes to a reliable and efficient 
race car. PWR was very pleased to be able to return to the 
Melbourne Grand Prix in 2022 and share this experience 
with deserving staff.

Shareholder Engagement

PWR is always keen to show our shareholders 
what we do
Our 2021 AGM provided a great opportunity for PWR to 
invite shareholders to our Ormeau facility and to be able 
to share examples of our latest product developments, 
as well as tour the factory providing valuable insight into 
the significant investments made by the company to 
support the adoption of latest advanced technologies 
and manufacturing capabilities. 

Events such as these are highly successful, with very 
positive feedback received by all in attendance and 
attendees impressed by the scale and presentation of the 
facility. This platform provides an ideal opportunity for 
effective communication to our shareholders engaging 
with PWR tour hosts and staff to better understand 
PWR’s business, products and services that support 
the opportunities ahead.

Overwhelming feedback was received from our AGM 
regarding our staff’s knowledge and passion for PWR, 
our products and our customers. The open forum created 
by hosting events such as this delivers positive results 
for shareholders and staff alike with the ability for all to 
engage in discussion around common points of interest 
behind PWR. This is certainly a platform that PWR plans 
to retain and grow in the future.

Supplier Engagement

We share our customer’s wins, or perhaps their 
losses but we are certainly there to support them 
when they need us the most if they strike trouble 
with unforeseen circumstances and assistance 
is needed. 

Such a situation arose earlier this year, where one 
of our customer teams had a systems issue and 
needed to quickly move to new heat exchangers 
to solve the problem. This required a very quick 
PWR reaction to design, manufacture and deliver 
new cooling system components in a matter 
of weeks. This requires commitment across 
the entire team at PWR, through all the critical 
departmental steps delivering high quality output 
at a rate that most companies would believe 
unachievable but is the fundamental ingredient 
in delivering success in Formula 1.

When needed, our commitment does not 
end at our dispatch dock, and as we did earlier 
this year we had one of PWR’s Engineers from 
our Specialty Build department fly to Saudi 
Arabia with critically important assemblies 
to have available for race day. This is a level of 
commitment and customer service that is not 
only appreciated by our customer but provides 
yet another opportunity for engagement 
of PWR staff with our customers and allows 
trusted relationships to be formed when we are 
always working to a common goal together. This 
provides our customers what they need with 
a high level of service while providing our staff 
with opportunities and experiences that can’t 
be replicated anywhere else. We are grateful to 
the Haas F1 Team for hosting our Engineer, Blake 
Evans over the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend 
as a thank you for his personal effort to get their 
parts to them in the shortest time possible.

PWR is proudly a highly vertically integrated business 
taking control of most processes to deliver our products 
and services. However we still have a very important 
supply chain with integral partners we forge long lasting 
relationships with to deliver to the high quality and service 
expectations of PWR and our customers. Just as PWR is 
considered a critical link in our customer’s supply chain, 
PWR relies on exceptional partners in our own supply 
chain to deliver world class service.

CASE STUDY: Thermasys Tubing

A demonstration of our supplier partnerships 
is our relationship with Thermasys Tubing 
in Germany, whom we needed to call on to 
support production of a very short lead time 
tubing request to meet customer demand. Our 
request required not only prioritized scheduling 
of production within Thermasys but required 
external negotiation with the supporting 
aluminum strip supplier.

With the dedication and commitment of key 
suppliers such as Thermasys, we were able to 
reduce a 12 week production lead time to 4 weeks 
to deliver against PWR’s project timeline and 
against our customer objective. These actions 
to explore all opportunity to deliver against 
customer expectations is what is required in a 
high performance supply chain, and the value 
this brings to PWR is well recognized. PWR took 
action to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts 
of the staff at Thermasys Tubing and arranged 
some PWR gift bags to be delivered and shared 
amongst Thermasys staff as appreciation for their 
support and a demonstration of PWR’s valued 
partnership with them as a supplier.

We support Schools and Apprentices 
with Development Opportunities
Our Apprenticeship and School Work Experience 
Programs are very important components in our strategy 
of building future talent for PWR. During the year we had 
17 work experience students spend time on a placement 
at PWR, where they were exposed to a number of our 
production areas in a structured and supervised program. 
We signed up 21 new apprentices during the year, 
resulting in a total of 42 apprenticeships running by the 
end of June 2022 and during the year we were pleased 
to see 3 apprentices complete their training and transition 
to fully qualified tradespeople.

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 workplace 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.

Growth in a challenging employment market
The market presented challenges over the year globally, 
with low candidate availability and high recruitment 
demand. The unemployment rate remained low in 
Australia, USA and UK, falling in mid 2022 to the lowest 
level since August 1974 for both Australia and the UK 
and staying at a comparatively low rate in the USA. 
Ongoing labour shortages were exacerbated by reduced 
hours worked as staff were forced to take leave due to 
illness, potentially attributed to higher rates of flu and 
COVID-19. Despite these challenges, globally, PWR grew 
employee numbers by 24% over the year, continuing our 
progressive growth over the last 5 years.

CASE STUDY: Demi Cross

Demi joined PWR in February 2021, having done 
various roles in retail and warehousing since 
leaving school in 2017. She was keen to start a 
career and having an interest in 4WD off roading 
and working on her Toyota Hilux, PWR was a 
great fit for her. In early 2022 Demi secured a 
place as a PWR Apprentice Welder in our 
Fabrication area and since then has gone from 
strength to strength. 

Demi Cross

“ When I came to PWR I wasn’t sure what I 
wanted to do, then I saw Kaz (a female who 
was in fabrication) working and I knew I wanted 
to learn welding, so I managed to get onto 
the Apprenticeship program. It is really fun, 
challenging sometimes but I really enjoy it. 
PWR is good if you’re a girl; the guys here are 
great, it’s a respectable workplace. The GM of 
Production said I was the fastest to complete 
the welding training which made me happy and 
proud, and it’s good to beat the boys! As well as 
that what they teach you here is next level, so 
long term I want to continue my career on the 
welding training program with PWR.”

Investing in Leadership Development
This year saw the development of a PWR specific frontline 
leadership training program, aimed at further developing 
leadership skills. This includes the use of a DiSC profile 
to set the foundation by helping individuals to better 
understand themselves. (DiSC is an acronym that stands 
for the 4 main personality profiles described in the DiSC 
model: (D)ominance, (i)nfluence, (S)teadiness and  
(C)onscientiousness). Individual feedback sessions have 
been conducted for those who completed the DiSC 
profile and over the coming year we are rolling out a series 
of supporting short, targeted sessions covering key topics, 
followed by a session on applying each of the learnings.

Graduate Engineer Program
PWR’s graduate engineering programme provides 
an opportunity for recent engineering graduates to 
expand on their university studies. Offered as a 2-year 
programme, they will benefit from the insight and support 
of experienced engineers and production team members 
who have worked on innovative and leading-edge 
product development in the motorsport, automotive, 
aerospace and defence industries. Their guidance 
will help the journey to transition from an engineering 
graduate into an experienced professional.

CASE STUDY: Chris Hopgood , 
Graduate Engineer Programme

Chris joined PWR in May 2021 as he was 
approaching the end of a dual Bachelor of 
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering/
Bachelor of Science degree at the University of 
Queensland. He has a keen interest in aerospace 
engineering as well as a passion for automotive 
engineering, having worked on the 2 year 
restoration of a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with 
his father. PWR is the perfect place to develop 
his career with exposure to his engineering fields 
of interest. In January 2022 Chris took up a place 
on the PWR Graduate Engineer Program.

International Secondments
During the year we developed an International 
Secondment Program to give a small, selected number 
of employees an opportunity to work at a PWR 
manufacturing site in another country for 1 to 2 years, with 
PWR supporting the visa application and contributing to 
relocation, accommodation and motor vehicle costs.

CASE STUDY: Blake Evans, 
International Secondment Programme

Blake joined PWR in November 2018 when he 
was in the third year of a Mechanical Engineering 
Degree at Griffith University. With a keen 
interest in and passion for motorsport, PWR was 
the ideal place for him to develop his career. He 
worked his way through our Specialty Build area, 
quickly establishing himself as a conscientious 
team member, producing high quality work. 
Blake graduated in 2020 and is now an Engineer 
in Specialty Build. 

Chris Hopgood

“ The PWR Graduate Engineer Program 
gives me great exposure to a wide variety of 
manufacturing and technical developments. 
For example, the application of computational 
fluid dynamics studied at university has been 
great to see in action at PWR. This provided 
that essential link between theory and its 
practical counterpart. 

This year I have been focussing on the practical 
side, including spending time in Micro Matrix 
developing Formula 1 components and in my 
second year I will get exposure to the Wind 
Tunnel, simulation, design and then aerospace. 
The program really gives me a bit of everything, 
helping me towards my goal of working in an 
aerospace design area, such as engine cooling.”

Blake Evans

“The opportunity for a 2 year secondment to 
PWR North America is a unique and awesome 
chance to take what I have learnt here and apply 
it there. At the same time, I will be able to learn 
from our North America Team when I am there 
and bring back my learnings to PWR Australia. 

With the USA having 3 Grand Prix next year, 
along with Canada and Mexico this is a great 
time to be going there. I am also keen to 
experience the USA culture and sport such as 
NFL, Hockey, Baseball and of course as much 
motorsport as I can get to see.

Overall, this will give me an extra perspective 
and help me work towards my goal of becoming 
a Formula 1 Project Engineer for PWR, a goal 
which was further cemented when I was selected 
to hand deliver PWR units to the Haas F1 team in 
Saudi Arabia earlier this year.”

Employee Health, Safety and Wellbeing
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic remained with us throughout 
the year and we continued our COVID safe practices. 
We ran a campaign during the year to facilitate 
employee’s understanding of ways to minimise the risk 
of getting COVID through information sessions run be 
a specialist medical professional and offering COVID 
vaccinations on site. We continue to maintain strong 
personal hygiene and social distancing measures at all 
sites and all staff have access to free COVID testing.

Safety

We realised a reduction in our Lost Time Injury 
Frequency Rate for FY2022 to 1.2 (FY2021: 5.9)

We saw a decrease in our Lost Time Injury Frequency 
Rate, (LTIFR) down to 1.2 by the end of the year. However, 
the focus remains on ensuring a safe workplace for all 
staff. We have undertaken work to clearly identify and 
understand our Critical Safety Risks and define what 
constitutes a High Potential Incident to continue our 
journey in ensuring the safety of all people whenever they 
are at work, further supported by the recent appointment 
of a HSEQ Manager. There have been no fatalities, fines 
or prosecutions arising from safety related breaches 
across the group.

Investing in 
Emerging 
Technology and 
New Industries 

At PWR, we provide leading edge 
cooling solutions to our customers in 
many industries and we leverage our 
knowledge, skills and capabilities to 
provide products to new industries 
for our cooling solutions, such as the 
aerospace and defence industry. 

Our unique point of difference however is the way we stay 
ahead of the curve in the emerging technology space. 
Emerging technologies create real opportunity for PWR 
and its customers and are used by PWR and its customers 
to tackle climate change by working with customers 
to develop lower emission cooling solutions to stem 
additional damage to our planet.

Thermally efficient heat exchangers are a key driving force 
in many processes requiring a chemical reaction. The use 
case can be for carbon capture from the atmosphere, 
where CO2 is entrapped within special coatings on a heat 
exchanger surface, where it is later stored underground 
or used for product use. Additional use cases require heat 
exchangers to be used in conjunction with a catalyst to 
aid in the production of green fuels, as an alternative to 
fossil fuels.

Other opportunities for PWR exist across the sustainable 
mobility platforms, with the race to electrified flight 
certification heating up. PWR technology transfers well 
to these platforms due to the requirements for highly 
efficient and light weight cooling systems, to offset the 
additional mass of the battery systems required.

Recently PWR worked with UK based 
company, Electroflight, to assist in managing 
the thermal requirements of their all-electric 
aircraft. The objective of the joint venture 
between Electroflight and Rolls Royce aimed 
to create the world’s fastest all-electric aircraft, 
as a demonstration of battery and drivetrain 
technology for sustainable flight.

Early in 2022 the ‘Spirit of Innovation’ aircraft 
achieved separate record speeds, with the final 
record set at 387.4 mph (623kph) crediting 
the platform as the world’s fastest all-electric 
vehicle.

PWR provided battery cooling and drivetrain 
cooling solutions for this one-of-a-kind aircraft 
and we are proud to be part of a world record 
flight. In addition to the speed record, the 
Electroflight team subjected the battery system, 
including PWR parts, to the rigorous DO-160G 
shock and vibration testing, allowing another 
benchmark, as the first aerospace battery 
propulsion system to successfully complete the 
DO-160G testing in the UK.

The image above shows the aircraft in pre-flight 
condition being prepared by the electrification 
engineers, with cowlings removed, and a clear 
image of some of the PWR componentry 
attached to the air intake ducting.

Intellectual Capital 

To be an industry leader in the 
field of Thermal Management 
systems across multiple high value 
market sectors requires substantial 
investment in people, advanced 
manufacturing technology, capability, 
quality control and testing systems 
to deliver customised solutions to 
exacting standards. 

To stay ahead we must always innovate and never be 
satisfied to be standing still even when business is 
strong. Our operational management aims to attract 
and retain talented staff, minimise waste and improve 
efficiencies, while our strategic management anticipates 
customer needs and industry trends to ensure PWR is 
well positioned to deliver on customer expectations and 
market opportunities in advance of their materialisation. 

PWR is committed to investing in its own success to 
build capability and capacity to support all of our market 
sectors to deliver solutions exceeding our customers’ 
expectations.

CASE STUDY 1: Systems and 
Accreditations

PWR has recently been successful in achieving 
accreditation to the National Aerospace and 
Defence Contractors Accreditation Program. 
With the introduction of NADCAP and the 
further improvements made to our Quality 
Management System (QMS), this is driving 
a more system centric approach to internal 
business processes within PWR. Both AS9100D 
and NADCAP require internal processes to 
be robust, effective, and aligned to how the 
business performs internal processes and the 
effectiveness of the controls put in place. A 
quality system needs to work for the business 
and help drive the right culture expected in 
the demanding global industry sectors PWR 
chooses to do business.   

The introduction of NADCAP only raises 
this expectation further. Being a NADCAP-
recognised supplier means our customers 
can reduce or replace costly individual audits 
that would otherwise be required by their own 
Quality Departments.

Large aerospace and defence contractors 
historically would have sent individual personnel 
out to audit suppliers, but NADCAP certification 
is a high-level third-party accreditation program 
to validate those successful in achieving 
endorsement as a trusted company to the 
primes of the Aerospace and Defence market 
sectors. PWR have taken this challenge head 
on, expanding the Management team and 
internal structure through the introduction 
of the Operational Excellence department 
ensuring governance of structures, systems 
and processes that underpin PWR’s product 
development and ensuring that there are 
robust and well communicated end to end 
processes that result in PWR providing quality 
results to customers.

geometry and can also have non-planar surfaces, 
to allow larger surface areas in confined spaces. 
Constructions can be tube and fin or bar 
and plate (B&P). 

Bar and Plate Assemblies - PWR produce 
durable B&P assemblies and cooling packs for 
land, air and sea applications. B&P assemblies 
are the industry standard for applications in 
Aerospace and Defence, due to their robustness 
in harsh environments involving vibration, shock 
and extended thermal cycle. 

Micro Matrix Heat 
Exchangers - MMX 
heat exchangers are 
extremely efficient, 
compact and light 
weight solutions, 
constructed from an 
array of hollow micro 
tubes, similar to 
hypodermic needles 
and ranging in sizes 
from 0.3mm diameter to 1mm diameter. These 
thin wall tubes provide exceptional surface area in 
a compact package to maximize heat transfer in 
liquid/liquid, liquid/air or liquid/phase change 
material applications.

Delivering Value 

Developing a Sustainability 
Framework

Sustainability for our shareholders, our employees and our customers 
is at the heart of PWR’s business strategy. 

We are committed to creating long term value for all of 
our stakeholders through our 3 strategic objectives of 
Growth, Profitability and Excellence. To better articulate 
our approach to sustainability, we will focus on developing 
a Sustainability Framework to ensure:

 – Our approach to sustainability is embedded into 

our strategy

 – We have a governance framework to monitor our 

performance

 – Our risk management approach involves scenario 
planning, stress testing and stakeholder feedback 
within the context of our risk appetite

 – We set realistic and measurable targets to track 

our performance and progress

 While we have focused on various aspects of 
sustainability at PWR, we realise that our work would 
benefit from a properly articulated sustainability 
framework that caters for all corners of our business. 
Our work to date includes:

 – Developing sustainable and capable people by 

investing in them to build a safe workforce that is 
engaged, high performing and proud to be part of 
PWR – see page 14 for how we create value through 
our focus on people, culture and safety

 – Working every day to strengthen our corporate 
governance and responsible business culture 
supported by our Code of Conduct and Ethical 
Conduct Policy. This year we have updated the 
Charter for our Audit and Risk Committee and 
tasked it with oversight of the development and 
implementation of our sustainability framework. 
Our updated charter for our Audit, Risk and 
Sustainability Committee can be found on 
our website.

 – Listening and talking to our stakeholders about their 
expectations and what we are doing to both identify 
and mitigate long term sustainability risks. See 
page 12 for how we deliver value through customer 
and stakeholder relationships

 – Working with our customer base to manufacture 
efficient and less carbon intense thermal cooling 
solutions and leveraging emerging technologies and 
investing in research and development to enhance our 
performance and stay at the forefront of our customer 
expectations. See pages 20 to 24 for our we create 
value by working with our customers on less carbon 
intense cooling solutions and investing in research 
and development

 –

Integrating and advocating good sustainability 
practices in PWR’s global operations. We take every 
opportunity we can to recycle from our raw material 
to our coffee cups!

 – Driving value through sustainable value chain 

management practices. This year we undertook 
comprehensive risk assessments on our supply chain 
and developed and implemented our Ethical Sourcing 
and Modern Slavery Policy

Climate Change Risk

PWR is committed to playing its part in 
developing low emissions technology to support 
our customers and help to build a sustainable 
world for the next generation

Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing and 
challenging landscape both generally and in 
manufacturing, PWR is already leveraging opportunities 
in our value chain to address climate change risks but 
we have some way to go in understanding our current 
footprint and our focus in FY2023 is to do just that. 

PWR is committed to reducing its carbon emissions. 
We are conscious of the threat of climate change to 
our stakeholders and our business. During FY2023 we 
will assess materiality and also look at financial impact 
aligned with the recommendations from the Task Force 
on Climate Related Financial Disclosures with the 
overarching objective of understanding our baseline so 
we have a foundation on which to build realistic targets.

We are committed to both articulating our sustainability 
strategy further but also understanding our baseline 
and setting realistic and measurable targets to meet and 
report against. We know that this is a rapidly changing 
topic and each year we will review and revise our approach 
to sustainability and climate change to ensure it keeps 
pace with the expectations of our stakeholders. We need 
to ensure we get our data right for our current emissions 
and will need to invest in information systems to track our 
emissions and targets.

Environmental 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. 

Aluminium 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 2021-2022 
financial year we recycled 211 tonnes of aluminium.

Our Corporate Governance 
and Risk Management Practices

PWR’s 2022 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

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

 – We have focused on developing high performing leaders, targeting managers and 

supervisors for our in-house front line leadership program where a self-assessment of one’s

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 have made progress this year to extract value from our current Enterprise Resource 
Planning system and have commenced the search for a Human Resource Management 
System that will support the business for many years to come 

Protecting our intellectual property and managing cyber security risks

Second only to our people 
is PWR’s intellectual 
property and that of our 
customers.

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 keep our strategy front of mind as it informs the decisions we make about leveraging 

our existing cooling solutions into new industries

Directors’ ReportPWR Holdings Limited Remuneration Report
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 2022. 

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

Strong Results While Dealing with the Pandemic 
At the end of FY2021 we were all optimistic that the worst of the pandemic was behind us. This wasn’t to be the case and 
COVID-19 continued to impact our staff and our ability to travel and meet our customers face to face throughout FY2022. 
PWR Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”) acted decisively and after extensive 
facilitation and consultation with our staff introduced a requirement that staff and visitors be fully vaccinated to enter the 
Group’s Ormeau site. This gave us confidence to continue with our growth trajectory and recommence visits to customers 
both domestically and internationally. We have been able to deliver a record profit of $20.843m, and also managed to 
keep our staff safe and employed, a tremendous effort by each and every one of our employees who worked with us and 
supported the business in taking this step.

Total Fixed Remuneration Outcomes – Moderate Outcomes Reflecting Strong Performance
As shareholders will know, the Group did not award any bonuses to the Managing Director (MD) or Executives in FY2021 
and also did not award salary increases to those roles given the uncertainty relevant to the pandemic. With respect to the 
annual salary reviews conducted at the end of FY2022 for salaries moving into FY2023, the Board appointed an independent 
remuneration consultant to provide advice on remuneration benchmarking for the Executives. The outcome of that 
exercise is described on page 49, section 10.1.

Short Term Incentive Program (STIP) Outcomes
The intent of the STIP is to focus our Executives on what they can influence in the performance year. For the STIP to be 
activated for Executives, they must meet a STIP Gate established by the Board. If the STIP Gate is met, this unlocks the STIP 
amount for Executives 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 STIP Gate is a financial measure linked 
to budgeted NPAT for the Group. Provided the STIP gate is met or exceeded, the Corporate Scorecard is assessed against 
new sector revenue growth, safety, staff retention and product quality. The more the STIP Gate is exceeded, the more of the 
Corporate Scorecard is unlocked. Executives’s performance is also assessed against personal KPIs tailored to their role.

As outlined in more detail on page 46, the Company exceeded the gate for the STIP and accordingly Executives did earn cash 
bonuses for FY22 under the STIP. The quantum of their bonuses was based on assessment of the Corporate Scorecard as well 
as personal KPIs which are further explained on page 47. The Board believes this was appropriate 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 Program (LTIP) Outcomes
Performance of long-term incentive rights granted in the FY2019 year were assessed for the end of FY2021. Both the TSR 
and EPS performance hurdles for the 3 year performance period were exceeded, resulting in 100% vesting of long-term 
incentives in September 2021.

At the end of June 2021, following a 3 year performance period:

 –

 –

the Company ranked at the 90th percentile for Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the performance period for the FY2019 
performance rights (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021) when compared to the benchmark group of ASX 300, excluding the 
Energy sector (oil, gas and coal)
the Group’s EPS hurdle for the FY2019 performance rights was measured by the growth in EPS from FY2019 (base year) 
to the end of the third year of the Performance Period (FY2021). The EPS growth rate was 52.5%, a compound growth rate 
of 15.1% over that period

As a result, 100% of the FY2019 performance rights vested on 1 September 2021 and provided the Executives an equivalent 
number of the Company shares to the rights granted as remuneration.

For the year ended 30 June 2022

Changes to Directors’ Fees from 1 July 2022
We also appointed an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark the fees for the Chairman and Non-Executive 
Directors, the first external review since listing in 2015. The review highlighted that that our directors’ fees, in particular for our 
Chairman, have fallen below market peers. To ensure that the Group remains able to attract and retain directors of appropriate 
skill and experience, we resolved to make an increase of 12% in directors fees and a 14% increase in the Chairman’s fees to 
bring them more into line with market. Further details can be found on page 53.

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 Executives for performance and recognising the interests of shareholders, 
however the Board has decided to appoint an independent Remuneration Consultant in FY2023 to assist with a review of 
our incentive plan structures to ensure we continue to appropriately incentivise Executives to deliver shareholder value.

Our Corporate Scorecard for FY2023 will continue to focus our Executives and people they lead on our business priorities 
including implementing controls to keep our people safe and well, growing our aerospace and defence business, maintaining 
exceptional product quality and improving productivity.

In what continues to be an extraordinary time, I wish to thank our shareholders for their continued support.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,

is the Board’s framework for remuneration governance:

Board

Nomination and

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 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 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. The Board had regular contact with 
each of the Executives during the year.

The NRC makes recommendations to the Board regarding all aspects of Executive remuneration. 
This includes making recommendations in relation to the targets to be included in the STIP (both 
the financial and other 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. 
Remuneration Consultants were appointed to provide advice on Non-Executive Director (NED) 
remuneration and remuneration for the Managing Director and Executives for FY2023. The NRC 
Charter sets out further information regarding the Committee’s objectives and role.

Director and Committee Member fees are carried out periodically with assistance of independent 
benchmarking reports and/or consultants.

4.  REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES
The guiding principles governing the Group’s Pay for Performance Policy and how we implement them are summarised in the 
table below:

Guiding Principles

Attract and Retain

Pay Executives for 
Performance that 
Delivers Value to 
Shareholders

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 the Group in 
both attracting and retaining key talent.

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 a stretch target 
component, 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’s 
“at risk” remuneration on 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 the Group 
being a safe place to work, ensuring our reputation for quality 
products is maintained, achieving key strategic priorities, and 
achieving leading Total Shareholder Returns.

Promote Internal 
Fairness and Equity

Always Consider the 
Group’s Capacity to 
Pay

Build Trust by 
Promoting 
Transparency

Provide fair, consistent, and 
internally equitable reward 
to appropriately compensate

Total Fixed 
Remuneration (TFR)

Short Term Incentive 
(STI)

Long Term Incentive 
(LTI)

TFR consists of base salary 
and statutory superannuation 
contributions.

creation of shareholder value, 
through performance rights 
which convert to shares, 
subject to the satisfaction 
of long term performance 
conditions.

Provides competitive ongoing remuneration in recognition of 
accountabilities for their role.

Ensures total remuneration is competitive.

Rewards delivery of strategic KPIs through the Corporate 
Scorecard.

Enables individual performance to be rewarded based on 
personal KPIs specific to the role.

Rewards delivery of strategic objectives and longer term 
growth and sustained shareholder value.

Provides greater alignment between shareholder and 
participant outcomes.

SHAREHOLDER VALUE

The Board’s objective when determining remuneration for the Executives is that remuneration outcomes should be linked 
to the performance of the Group. Given the longer term component of remuneration, reporting on performance for FY2022 
together with performance over prior years provides shareholders with important context.

8.   EXECUTIVE SHORT TERM INCENTIVE REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

8.1. STIP Gate
The STIP operates with a NPAT gate to activate the plan. The gate was exceeded, opening the STIP to up to 100% of maximum 
scores. An increasing amount of STIP is available depending on by how much the STIP gate is exceeded. 

8.2. Corporate Scorecard
At the beginning of the reporting period, the Board established Company KPIs which together formed the Corporate 
Scorecard and which are largely non-financial KPIs. Subject to the STIP gate being met or exceeded the Corporate Scorecard 
accounts for up to 60% of the maximum potential cash bonus payable to the Executives. 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.

10.  SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE

10.1. Total Fixed Remuneration
Total Fixed Remuneration is set with reference to the median of the Group’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 Executives 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 considers the 
Executive’s role and accountabilities, relevant market benchmarks and attraction, retention and motivation of Executives in 
the context of the overall market. 

With respect to the annual salary reviews conducted at the end of FY2022 for salaries moving into FY2023, the Board 
appointed Godfrey Remuneration Group to benchmark Executive Total Fixed Remuneration during July 2022 and took on 
board GRG’s advice when determining remuneration for the Executives for FY2023. The outcome of that exercise was:

 – Managing Director - In recognition of Mr Weel’s established tenure in the role of MD, performing at a high level and 
leading the Company through significant growth (in revenue, profit and share price), and in consideration of his 
remuneration relative to market peers, his Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) was increased effective 1 July 2022 to 
$653,000 per annum, representing a 19% increase on the prior year and which remains below benchmark and will require 
continued focus. His Short Term Incentive (STI) opportunity remained at 50% of TFR. Mr Weel elects not to participate in 
the Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP) given his significant shareholding in the Company, however the Board seeks to 
drive long-term shareholder wealth and will review the LTIP in the coming months to consider the MD’s participation.
 – Chief Technical and Commercial Officer – Based on a review of market peers, Mr Bryson’s TFR has been set at $405,000 

per annum from 1 July 2022, a 5% increase on the prior year.

 – Chief Financial Officer – Similarly, based on a review of market peers, Mr McIver’s TFR has been set at $380,000 per 

annum from 1 July 2022, an 8% increase on the prior year.

The Managing Director and Executives are eligible to participate in the Group’s Short-Term Incentive Plan. 

Executive Participants Managing Director, Chief Technical and Commercial Officer and Chief Financial Officer

How is it paid

Annual cash bonus subject to achievement of corporate and personal KPIs

STIP Gate

The STIP gate is a minimum profit gateway based on the Group’s budgeted profit target which 
must be met for the STIP to be activated for Executives. The amount by which the gate is 
exceeded then determines the maximum that can be attributed to each KPI on the Corporate 
Scorecard. 

Corporate Scorecard 
(60% weighting)

The Board establishes company KPIs that form the Corporate Scorecard on an annual basis. 
These are determined by assessing key drivers that are required to deliver on our strategic 
objectives and require the Executives to work as a team to achieve. 

Personal KPIs (40% 
weighting)

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 other 
Executives for Board approval. Personal KPIs represent 40% of the maximum potential cash 
bonus payable to the Executives and for payment to be made against these KPIs, the STIP 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.

10.3. Long Term Incentives
The Managing Director and the Executives 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. 

Executive participants Managing Director, Chief Technical and Commercial Officer and Chief Financial Officer

How is it paid?

Performance Rights.

Executives are invited by the Board to apply for performance rights (“Rights”) on an annual basis 
under the LTIP as part of their Total Remuneration.

How many Rights are 
granted?

The number of Rights granted to each Executive is calculated by dividing the % of TFR eligibility 
by the Company volume weighted average share price for the trading days of the June prior to 
the commencement of the performance period.

Managing Director – 50% of TFR (note that the MD although eligible, subject to shareholder 
approval to participate in the LTIP, elects not to do so given his significant shareholding). The 
Board is currently considering restructuring the LTIP to allow for the MD to participate where 
resultant awards are able to be paid in cash. A recommendation will be put to shareholders at 
the 2022 AGM for consideration.

Performance period

3 years.

Executives – 30% of TFR

Rights convert to ordinary shares in the Company on a 1 for 1 basis at the end of the 3 year 
performance period depending on the extent to which performance hurdles are achieved and 
service conditions met.

Performance hurdles

The performance hurdles for Rights granted prior to 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 the Company holds relative to the benchmark group for the relevant 3 year 
performance period:

TSR Ranking (TSR)

TSR is 50% or less 

Vesting outcome

Nil vesting

TSR is more than 50% but less than 75%

Pro rata vesting

TSR is 75% or more

100% vesting

 – 50% of the rights will vest upon achievement of growth in EPS. Vesting is determined by 

the growth in EPS from the financial year immediately prior to the start of the Performance 
Period (base year) to the end of the third year of the Performance Period, measured against 
specific EPS targets outlined below:

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

EPS growth rate of <4%

EPS growth rate of ≥4% to ≤12%

EPS growth rate of >12%

Vesting outcome

Nil vesting

Pro rata vesting

100% vesting

While the TSR hurdle remains the same, the EPS hurdle for the Rights granted from FY2021 
onwards is different to that attached to Rights granted prior to that. For Rights granted 
from FY2021 onwards:

For the year ended 30 June 2022

10.  SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE (continued)

 – 50% of the rights will vest based on compound growth in annual 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

Service Condition

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

Vesting

Rights that do not vest at the end of the 3 year period lapse, unless the Board in its discretion 
determines otherwise. Upon cessation of employment prior to the vesting date, Rights will be 
forfeited and lapse unless the Board in its discretion determines otherwise. Rights do not entitle 
holders to dividends that are declared during the vesting period. 

Why relative TSR and 
Compound EPS?

The Board believes that these hurdles represent an appropriate balance between internal 
performance and external benchmarking. EPS is a relevant indicator of increase in shareholder 
value and the EPS hurdles provide a line of sight to encourage performance. Relative TSR is 
aligned with the Group’s growth strategy.

Restrictions

Executives are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which operate to 
transfer or limit the economic risk of any Rights held under the LTIP while they are subject to 
performance hurdles or otherwise unvested.

11.  CONTRACT DURATION AND TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS 
The Company has contracts of employment with no fixed tenure requirements with the Executives. The notice period for 
each is outlined in the table below. Termination with notice may be initiated by either party. The contracts contain customary 
clauses dealing with immediate termination for gross misconduct, confidentiality, and post-employment restraint of trade 
provisions.

12.  REMUNERATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 

12.1. 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
 –
 – obtain independent external remuneration advice when required.

remunerate Directors at market rates for their commitment and responsibilities, and 

The Aggregate Fee Limit (AFL), in place since listing in 2015, is $750,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation 
contributions). The Board determines the distribution of Non-Executive Director fees within the approved AFL.

12.  REMUNERATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS (continued)

12.2. Review of Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy and Non-Executive Director 
Remuneration
The Board appointed Godfrey Remuneration Group to review the Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy and to 
benchmark NED Remuneration for the period commencing 1 July 2022. Following the independent review, the Non-
Executive Director Remuneration Policy was amended as follows:

 –

 –

 –

The Main Board Package (MBP) for Non-Executive Directors should be positioned around P50 (50th percentile) of 
market practices, with the variation in the clustering reflecting differences in contributions to committees i.e., those 
contributing higher workloads will fall above P50, and those contributing the least, just below P50.
The MBP of the Chairman will be paid as a multiple of the Non-Executive Director MBP derived from the market analysis. 
The Chairman will not receive committee fees in addition to a Board fee.
The purpose of Non-Executive Director remuneration is to recognise the work undertaken by Board members for their 
work as Non-Executive Directors. Extra work undertaken by a Non-Executive Director outside of the normal scope of 
NED duties should be remunerated at an agreed upon rate based on the amount of work undertaken in addition to their 
MBP. 

 – Board Committee Chairs receive a fee of $20,000 per annum, however the Board Chairman does not receive committee 

fees, regardless of participation level. 

12.3. NED Remuneration
The following table sets out the Main Board Package for the Chairman and Non-Executive Directors throughout the

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

From time to time, directors of the Group, or their related entities, may purchase goods from the Group. These purchases are on the 
same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Group employees or customers and are not material.

This report is made with a resolution of the directors:

Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 2022 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, aerospace and defence, and automotive 
aftermarket 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 18th August 2022. 

(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. 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 note C6 
(Intangible assets).

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

SECTION B  BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

B1  Operating segments
The Group has 2 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 C&R 

 Designing and manufacturing high end motorsports, OEM, aerospace and defence, and 
automotive aftermarket products for non-USA markets. 

 Designing and manufacturing high end motorsports, OEM, aerospace and defence and 
automotive aftermarket products primarily for the USA market. The PWR C&R segment 
had previously been referred to as PWR North America and 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)

Right-of-use assets
The Group leases its office and factory facilities where leases typically run for between 5 years and 10 years. The property 
leases include extension options exercisable by the Group between 3 and 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.

Right-of-use assets relate to leased properties that do not meet the definition of investment property and are presented 
as property, plant and equipment and included in land and buildings.

Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited

For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 5 year period and include a terminal 
value at the end of year 5. The cash flow projections over the 5 year period are based on the Group’s budget for 2023 and 
growth over the forecast periods based on the Group’s business plans and management’s assessment of the impacts of 
underlying economic conditions, past performance and other factors on each CGU’s financial performance. 

The cashflow projections for each CGU include management’s estimates of the expected growth from the Group’s 
involvement in OEM programs as a cooling assembly supplier, growth in aerospace and defence, 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. 

Management have considered sensitivities to the recoverable amount. No reasonable possible change in the assumptions 
would result in an impairment of the assets in either CGU.

Key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use over the 5 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

PWR C&R 

Discount rate – pre tax

For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 during FY2022 is from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024.

Performance rights issued to key management personnel (KMP) and non-key management personnel (Non KMP) during the 
year are 50% subject to the EPS performance hurdle and 50% subject to the TSR performance hurdle. At 30 June 2022, all of 
these performance rights remain on issue. 

The EPS performance hurdle for the performance rights issued after 30 June 2020 is based on the compound annual growth 
rate in EPS. The EPS performance hurdle for performance rights issued prior to 30 June 2020 is based on the 3 year growth in 
EPS. At 30 June 2022, there were 84,294 performance rights that had been issued in prior years that are subject to the 3 year 
growth in EPS performance hurdle. 

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 $488,566 (2021: $400,899) was recognised during the year and included in 
“employee expenses” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

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

Fair value at grant date

Share price at grant date

Exercise price

Expected volatility

Risk free rate

Expected life

Expected dividends

G3  Deed of cross guarantee
Pursuant to ASIC Corporations (wholly owned companies) Instrument 2016/785, the wholly owned subsidiaries listed below 
are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for the preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and 
Directors’ reports.

It is a condition of the Instrument that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. The 
effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor, payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of 
any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs under other provisions of 
the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after 6 months any creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries 
have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up.

The subsidiaries subject to the Deed are:

  PWR Performance Products Pty Ltd

  PWR IP Pty Ltd

Both subsidiaries became a party to the Deed on 18 May 2017.

SECTION H  OTHER INFORMATION

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

credit risk
 –
 –
liquidity risk
 – market risk

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade and other receivables

Cash and cash equivalents
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $21,498,660 at 30 June 2022 (2021: $19,857,387), 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 have assessed the outstanding debtor balances considering known factors including the economic 
environment and expected credit losses and have taken up a bad debt provision for $133,370 (2021: nil). 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. 

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 2022, the Group had entered into participating forward contracts to manage its exposure 
to sales denominated in GBP. These contracts, which settle monthly until 30 September 2022, have a total notional amount of 
£3.1 million (2021: £3.9 million) and have been accounted for at fair value through the profit and loss. The fair value at year end 
was a liability of $8,846 (2021: $54,240 liability). 

During the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group recognised $73,679 in realised losses (2021: $202,892 gain) and $225,444 
in unrealised gains on derivatives (2021: $563,280 loss). This has been included in finance income or costs in the income 
statement.

Exposure to currency risk
A summary of quantitative data about the Group’s exposure to currency risk on financial assets and liabilities at year end is as

Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June, exchange rates used to translate the above were 0.5676 to the GBP and 0.6886 to the USD (2021: 0.5426 to 
the GBP and 0.7512 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 2021, using consistent foreign exchange rate variances, as indicated below.

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

A number of these entities transacted with the Group during the year. The terms and conditions of the transactions with key 
management personnel and their related parties were no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be 
expected to be available, on similar transactions to non-key management personnel related entities on an arm’s length basis.

The aggregate value of transactions and outstanding balances relating to key management personnel and entities over which 
they have control, joint control or significant influence were as follows:

H4  Subsequent events
The Board declared a fully franked final ordinary dividend of 8.50 cents per share. The financial effect of the 2022 declared 
final dividend has not been brought to account in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

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

H5 New accounting standards

Changes in accounting policies -new standards and interpretations adopted 
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 2021. A number of other new standards are effective from 1 July 
2021 but they did not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted 
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2022 
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.

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.

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. 

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.

For the year ended 30 June 2022

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.

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.

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.

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 1 vote per share 
at meetings of the Company.

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

12  Leases

Leased assets
The Group, as a lessee, assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. 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. Right 
of use assets are presented as Property, Plant and Equipment. However, the Group has elected not to recognise right of use 
assets and 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 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 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured when there is a 
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to 
be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension 
option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

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

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.

94

Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2022

SECTION I  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.

For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 2022 and of its financial
performance for the year ended on
that date; and

complying with Australian
Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion 

The Financial Report comprises: 

• Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30

June 2022;

• Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of
changes in equity, and Consolidated statement of
cash flows for the year then ended;

• Notes including a summary of significant accounting

policies; and

• Directors’ Declaration.

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

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

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

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

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 this matter.

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets ($15.0m) 

Refer to Note C6 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

A key audit matter for us was the Group’s 
annual testing of goodwill and intangible 
assets for impairment given the size of the 
balance (being 15% of total assets). 

The Group uses complex value-in-use 
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. 
Significant forward looking assumptions 
applied in their value in use modes include 
forecast revenue growth, EBIT margin and 
discount rates applied on net cash flows.   

Complex modelling using forward-looking 
assumptions tend to be prone to greater risk 
for potential bias, error and inconsistent 
application. These conditions necessitate 
additional scrutiny by us, in particular to 
address the objectivity of sources used for 
assumptions, and their consistent 
application. 

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

Our procedures included: 

• We considered the appropriateness of the value in
use methods applied by the Group to perform the
annual impairment testing of goodwill and
intangible assets against the requirements of the
accounting standards.

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

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

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

• We considered the sensitivity of the models by
varying key assumptions, such as forecast
revenue growth, EBIT margin 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 C&R’s ability to convert OEM and emerging
technology opportunities. We compared forecast
growth rates to published analyst reports for
comparable companies, and considered
differences for the Group’s operations.  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.

• Working with our valuation specialists, we

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

• We assessed the disclosures in the financial

report using our understanding obtained from our
testing and against the requirements of the
accounting standards.

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in PWR Holding 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 
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:
