We also invested a record amount of $15 million in leading edge technology and equipment to support our business and $2 million to acquire businesses in the United Kingdom to establish a European manufacturing base. One of our greatest achievements since our last AGM is the development of our new greenfield manufacturing site in Rugby, United Kingdom, which commenced operating in February 2023 and now employs over 30 people. The Board recognises that what has been achieved in FY2023 would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts from the entire PWR team and the Board is deeply grateful to each and every member of the PWR team for the way they have focused on our customers to deliver innovative and high-quality products, using our advanced technology while also looking after their team mates and living and breathing the PWR DNA. As previously announced, I will not seek reelection at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to serve on the PWR Board for the past 8 years, working with my Board colleagues and the management team to guide this impressive organisation over this pivotal period. It has been an amazing and deeply satisfying journey of which I am very proud to have been a part of. Your new Chairman, Roland Dane, who has unanimous support of the Board, has substantial Board, leadership, operational and financial experience and has been a Board member since March 2017. Roland will take over as Chairman at the conclusion of the 2023 Annual General Meeting. Thank you to all of the people at PWR who have worked with passion and drive to deliver significant and transformative growth since PWR’s listing on the ASX. Thank you to my Board colleagues who have brought their individual experience and expertise that has resulted in strong contributions and collective decision making. Particular thanks to Kees who with the then Chairman, invited me on this journey; Jeff who has been there since listing and Roland who joined soon after. We have worked hard together over a long period, striving to deliver the best results for shareholders; having robust conversations when we needed to but always with a collaborative spirit and with the clear objective of continuously moving this special company towards achieving its potential. I thank Kees and all shareholders for your support and for the opportunity to serve you as a Director since 2015 and as Chairman since 2017. I wish Kees, the Board and PWR the very best for what I believe to be a very bright future. Teresa Handicott, Chairman I am delighted to present to you PWR’s 2023 annual report on what has been another record year for PWR. PWR again delivered a record result in the 2023 financial year, with NPAT of $21.8 million up 4.4% on the prior period (2022: $20.8 million). The Group continued to deliver on its growth objective through implementation of its ongoing capital investment and research and development programs while still producing a strong return on equity at 25% (2022: 27%). Cash flows continued to be impacted by the decision in FY2022 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. Now that these global challenges are subsiding, we have commenced reducing raw material inventory holdings to historical levels, increasing the EBTIDA to operating cash conversion ratio to 86% (2022: 66%). The Group retained a strong cash balance at 30 June 2023 of $17.6 million (2022: $21.5 million) and remains debt free, with access to its $10 million multicurrency and $7.5 million 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 8.90 cents per share, taking the full year dividend to 12.50 cents per share, an increase of 4.2% on last year’s full year dividend (2022: 12.00 cents per share). During the year, we continued to invest in our people and their development with the establishment of a dedicated production training function which has as its vision to develop a PWR Academy for job related 6 PWR Holdings Limited Teresa Handicott Chairman Message from the Managing Director Strong performance I W E V E R N I R A E Y PWR has performed strongly during the 2023 financial year, delivering solid revenue and profit growth across all major market sectors. PWR North America is well placed to further develop these market sectors, supported by the opening of the PWR North America Aerospace and Defence Machining Centre in October 2022. Additional equipment, including vacuum brazing and heat treatment furnaces is currently being installed at the new machining centre to further expand capacity and capability. “ONE PWR” and Global Capacity Planning PWR has three (3) manufacturing hubs able to service customers globally. We invest in common equipment makes and specifications across all locations enabling global capacity planning to meet customer demand and improve efficiency. Centres of Excellence 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. Annual Report 2023 7 Kees Weel, Founder and Managing Director We have maintained a strong balance sheet and are well prepared to deliver on opportunities in the next few years. PWR Europe The PWR team made great progress with its growth strategy with the acquisition of Docking Engineering in August 2022, the acquisition of Bespoke Motorsport Radiators in January 2023 and the development of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for PWR Europe located in Rugby in the United Kingdom (UK). This facility has over 3,160 square meters of manufacturing space and we now employ over 30 employees. Over time we plan to increase UK manufacturing to support European motorsports, automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and the automotive aftermarket. PWR Australia PWR Performance Products continues to supply most global motorsport categories with cooling technology. In FY2023 the supply of cooling technology to automotive OEMs and the supply of emerging technologies to existing and new customer markets have been significant growth drivers. PWR Performance Products continues to be PWR’s research and development centre of excellence. PWR North America PWR North America (also known as PWR C&R, and C&R Racing, Incorporated), has successfully delivered automotive OEM products, aerospace and defence programs and solid growth in the automotive aftermarket. YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP During FY2023, the 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 five to ten years is now better than ever which allows us to invest with confidence. To support growth in FY2023, PWR increased the headcount from 451 to 511. PWR expects continued growth in FY2024 and beyond and expects to further increase 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.

Sales revenue increased by 16.0% plus favourable exchange rate movements of 1.1%. 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 17.6%, 16.7% and 8.9% respectively. Exchange rates at 30 June 2023 saw the GBP being 7.6% stronger and the US dollar being 3.9% stronger compared to the prior period. Average rates during the financial year saw the GBP 2.5% weaker and the US dollar 7.2% stronger than the prior period.

Emerging Technologies includes revenue from Aerospace and Defence across all technologies, and revenue from other market sectors generated by cold plate, micro matrix and additive manufacturing. EBITDA EBITDA in FY2023 compared to the prior corresponding period was stronger mainly due to: – Solid revenue growth across the OEM, aerospace and defence, automotive aftermarket and motorsports sectors; – Production cost control; and – Administration and overhead cost control. EBITDA was impacted by the investment in travel, marketing, new facilities, development of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and computer expenses including cyber security. Net profit after tax Net profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2023 was $21.75 million (2022: $20.84 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. Now that these global challenges are subsiding, we have commenced reducing raw material inventory holdings to historical levels, resulting in an increase in the EBTIDA to operating cash conversion ratio compared with the prior period. FY2023 operating cash flow (excluding interest and tax) was $33.40 million, a conversion of 86% from EBITDA (2022: $23.52 million, a conversion of 66% from EBITDA). 10 PWR Holdings Limited I W E V E R N I R A E Y Foreign currency The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with consolidated revenue generated in various currencies (using average exchange rates through the reporting period) as outlined below: British pounds (GBP) US dollars (USD) Australian dollars (AUD) Euro (EUR) 2023 2022 53.1% 30.8% 11.7% 4.4% 100% 58.0% 28.6% 13.4% – 100% Balance sheet management The balance sheet remains strong with cash of $17.6 million (2022: $21.5 million). Working capital utilisation has increased from 130 days at 30 June 2022 to 236 days at 30 June 2023 due largely to the increase in raw material inventory in response to global supply chain challenges, work in progress and finished goods inventories. Capital expenditure for the year was $15.0 million (2022: $5.0 million). The capital expenditure was higher 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. The Group completed two business acquisitions during the year for $2.0 million (2022: nil). These acquisitions together with the capital expenditure provide additional capacity and increased quality control as part of the program to manage expected growth. With the solid working capital position, expected future capital investment requirements and the ongoing strong contribution of EBITDA to operating cash flows, the Board has declared a final 2023 dividend of 8.90 cents per share bringing the total dividend paid to 12.50 cents per share. Review of operating segments The Group has 2 operating segments, PWR Performance Products which comprises its Australian and European operations, and PWR C&R which comprises its USA operations (also referred to as PWR North America).

Annual Report 2023 11 YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP CFO Report on FY2023 Performance Operating and Financial Review continued Review of principal businesses During the year ended 30 June 2023, in addition to the items outlined above, the Group focussed on diversifying its operations within the targeted segments in a sustainable and profitable manner for the long-term benefit of stakeholders including shareholders, staff, customers, and suppliers. On 19 August 2022, the Group acquired the business and assets of Docking Engineering (Docking) located in the United Kingdom for $0.856 million (£0.496 million).

BMR is a leading core manufacturer and supplier of high-performance motorsport radiators, intercoolers, and oil coolers in the United Kingdom. These acquisitions provide a platform for the Group to build and grow a manufacturing facility based in the United Kingdom to service European customers and to alleviate demand pressure on Australian based manufacturing. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), including the Impacts of Climate Change The Group engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers to assist the senior management team to identify the critical environmental, social and governance issues and opportunities impacting the Group, and to develop mitigation responses and reporting protocols. The outcomes of this engagement have been included in the 2023 Annual Report on pages 18 to 28.

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. 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 less carbon intense modes of transport heating up. CASE STUDY Working with Universal Hydrogen – Making Carbon-Free Flight A Reality Today Universal Hydrogen is a Los Angeles-based company that has gathered the world’s leading aviation and hydrogen experts to build a hydrogen operating network to make clean aviation a reality in this decade. Hydrogen is, in many ways, the ideal aviation fuel. It is light, clean, safe, and will reach cost-parity with jet fuel by the middle of this decade. It is the only fuel that can decarbonize aviation in the near term. The company takes a flexible, scalable, and capital-light approach to hydrogen logistics by transporting it in modular capsules over the existing freight network from green production sites to airports worldwide. Universal Hydrogen’s innovation is to treat hydrogen as if it were cargo, making it easy to support zero-emission flight at airports anywhere without relying on new infrastructure. Universal Hydrogen is also developing a conversion kit to retrofit existing regional airplanes with a hydrogen-electric powertrain compatible with its modular capsule technology to accelerate market adoption. Universal Hydrogen has commitments for over 200 regional aircraft conversions and has attracted investors such as Airbus Ventures, Toyota Ventures, GE Aviation, JetBlue and Fortescue Future Industries. Universal Hydrogen worked with PWR to investigate high-performance charge air cooling and hydrogen-to-liquid heat exchange solutions for a 1-megawatt powertrain fuelled by hydrogen cells. Universal Hydrogen needed lightweight systems with high thermal efficiency to ensure successful heat management for the prototype powertrain ahead of flight testing. 46 PWR Holdings Limited This case study is printed with the permission of Universal Hydrogen E U L A V R U O K R O W E M A R F N O T A E R C I Converted aircraft being refuelled with hydrogen storage capsules.

The computer-generated internal streamlines show the magnitude of the charge air velocity and the distribution within the assembly as it flows from inlet to outlet. Both aspects are critical features to ensure correct performance and pressure drop of the unit. Performing this task pre-production allows PWR’s customers to assess performance metrics and avoid lost time or investment in trial-and-error development. Post CFD analysis, while still in virtual form, the unit progresses to FEA, otherwise known as stress analysis. The model image below shows the impact of high temperatures and pressure on the surface and features of the complete assembly, together with extreme axial loading for various flight scenarios. The colour gradient across the surface shows the different stress levels and allows PWR to confirm a pass/fail criterion to the customer. CFD analysis of charge air cooler assembly.

E U L A V R U O K R O W E M A R F N O T A E R C I With the assembly complete, the unit progresses to PWR’s thermal wind tunnel calorimeter for performance sign-off. This process allows PWR to provide Universal Hydrogen with a matrix of real-world performance information to plug into their aircraft propulsion models to verify the complete system. In addition, the wind tunnel testing step allows PWR to close the loop between our pre-production CFD simulation predictions and the real-world test. Through continuous improvement and tight correlations between CFD and testing, PWR can better deliver on our objective to provide the world’s best cooling solutions. Following early flight testing, PWR will continue to work with Universal Hydrogen to support the project as it moves through the validation, certification, and production phases.

PWR Europe also acquired Docking Engineering and Bespoke Motorsport Radiators during the year who also relocated to Rugby, expanding the Group’s manufacturing capabilities and capacity to service our current European customers. This paves the way for PWR Europe to manufacture its products in the UK which has been a long-term objective of PWR. Our facility at Rugby will provide capacity for future growth opportunities in the Motorsport, Automotive, Industrial, Marine and Aerospace and Defence sectors. PWR Europe’s new manufacturing facility located in Rugby, United Kingdom 50 PWR Holdings Limited Moving Towards Automation for Efficiency Automation is a key part of our value adding strategy and we are always looking at automating manufacturing processes particularly in a labour constrained market. This year we purchased an automatic stacking machine and installed it at PWR Australia. It has been extremely beneficial to stack and plate large numbers of intercoolers. It can produce cores from a component level to a ‘ready to braze state’ in around 5 minutes compared to approximately 35 – 40 minutes when done the traditional way. This efficiency gain not only increases our output but reduces the need for a full time equivalent, as the operator is completing both the plating and stacking processes in one. This introduction into automation has shown huge potential in a short amount of time and we will continue to explore further automation opportunities in the years ahead. E U L A V R U O K R O W E M A R F N O T A E R C I CASE STUDY PWR Technology and depth of capability Custom Tube and Fin Heat Exchangers PWR has developed an extensive range of tube and fin geometries allowing us to optimize core constructions to achieve lightweight and high performing coolers. Whether the heat exchanger be a water radiator, oil cooler, charge air cooler or refrigerant application we have dedicated core specifications that can be tailored to maximize cooling performance. PWR has also developed specific tube and fin combinations to optimize thermal management for coolers in applications like battery cooling, motor cooling and electronics cooling. With tube and fin heat exchangers PWR can also completely customize not only the size of the cooler but the shape as well. With the ability to produce 3D profiled coolers and free-form coolers PWR can design a tube fin cooler to maximize heat exchanger face area and minimize packaging space.

The CT scanner reconstruction produces a complete 3D representation of a component, based on a large number of 2D X-ray images. Computed Tomography allows PWR to thoroughly inspect external and internal structures without the need to physically dissect and analyze the entire component which would otherwise render it unsuitable for future use. This is a process and capability that has significant benefits to weld and braze joint analysis and process developments, as well as providing critical inspection capability for Additive Manufactured parts. This highly specialized measurement equipment has become an important inclusion in our final inspection processes supporting our high-end Motorsport and Aerospace/Defence customer base. E U L A V R U O K R O W E M A R F N O T A E R C I Additive Manufacturing PWR has developed both resin and metal 3D printing while working with specific partners to adapt the technology to thermal management applications. PWR focuses on plastic and metal additive processes and materials that support our business model of engineering the unfair advantage and supplying customers with the highest quality and shortest lead time. PWR is leading the thermal management industry with specific technology developments to apply metal additive manufacturing to improve the performance and manufacturing of our products. The laser powder bed fusion process of aluminium forms the basis of the metal additive manufacturing process at PWR. The results of several years partnering with a leading materials development company has resulted in the exciting recent introduction of an Aluminium Powder known as CP1. This new CP1 powder that PWR is introducing to its production offers higher strength and thermal properties than other additive Aluminium powders and can be printed faster, but the most exciting characterisitc of CP1 is its ability to be brazed which enables PWR’s evolution of additive thermal management components to combine all the very best attributes of our capabilities to maximise design and thermal efficiency. Simulation PWR has continued to invest in hardware, software and talented engineers to strengthen our simulation capabilities to deliver world class service to our customers requiring support and as a powerful design tool for PWR product development. To complement our in-house 1D predictive tools that are supported through real world data collection in our wind tunnel, our Simulation team use 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to analyze heat exchanger flow distributions and heat rejections to maximize the efficiency of PWR manufactured designs. CFD is an invaluable engineering tool for the design and analysis of cold plates in addition to more conventional heat exchangers. The implementation of the flow and heat- transfer analysis in the design process allows PWR to evaluate and compare performance of different designs and different manufacturing methods allowing optimization of heat-transfer, reducing pressure-drop or mass.

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 2023. This report seeks to describe, in a simple and transparent way, our approach to remunerating Executive key management personnel (Executive KMP) and the key principles that underpin our Pay for Performance Framework, as well as remuneration for our Non-Executive Directors. Strong results while investing in capability and capacity In FY2023, PWR Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”) have grown revenue year on year by 17.1%. We have been able to deliver a record profit of $21.8 million, a tremendous effort by each and every one of our employees who worked with us and supported the business in taking this step. To allow the Group to deliver on future opportunities, in FY2023 we have invested in expanding capability and capacity. This included investing in employee development, ongoing research and development of new technologies, expanding our manufacturing footprint, including commencing manufacturing in the United Kingdom, and ongoing investment in additional critical equipment. Total Fixed Remuneration Reviews for Remuneration in FY2024 Annual salary reviews were conducted at the end of FY2023 for salaries moving into FY2024. The Board appointed an independent remuneration consultant to provide advice on remuneration benchmarking for the Executive KMP. 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 2023 to $752,200 per annum, representing a 15% increase on the prior year. His Short Term Incentive Program (STIP) opportunity has increased to 60% of TFR, with up to half payable in cash and the remaining half deferred over a two year period under the terms of the STIP. His Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP) opportunity has increased to 90% of TFR, subject to performance over a 3-year period and is payable in shares, cash or a combination of shares and cash. – Chief Financial Officer – Based on a review of market peers, Mr McIver’s TFR has been set at $405,500 per annum from 1 July 2023, a 6% increase on the prior year. His STIP opportunity has increased to 50% of TFR, with up to half payable in cash and the remaining half deferred over a two year period under the terms of the short term incentive plan. His LTIP opportunity has increased to 50% of TFR, subject to performance over a 3-year period and is payable in shares, cash or a combination of shares and cash. The deferred portion of the STIP will have a service condition where the Executive KMP must remain continually employed by the Company or another Group entity until the date of vesting. 50% of the deferred portion of the STI will vest on 1 September, 14 months after the end of the STI financial year, and the remaining 50% of the deferred STI will vest on 1 September, 26 months after the end of the STI financial year. The deferred portion of the STI can be paid in shares, cash or a combination of shares and cash. Short Term Incentive Program (STIP) Outcomes for FY2023 The intent of the FY2023 STIP was to focus our Executive KMP and leaders on what they can influence in the performance year. For the STIP to be activated for Executive KMP, it must have met a profitability Gate established by the Board at the beginning of FY2023. If the STIP Gate is met, this unlocks a greater STIP amount for participants and forms the basis of a stretch target. This is a key feature of the STIP 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 NPAT growth, safety, staff retention, staff engagement, product quality and manufacturing efficiency. The more the STIP Gate is exceeded, the more of the Corporate Scorecard is unlocked. As outlined in more detail on page 77, the Company exceeded the gate for the STIP and accordingly Executives did earn cash bonuses for FY2023 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 78. 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. 71 Annual Report 2023 YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP) Outcomes Performance of long-term incentive rights granted in the FY2020 year were assessed for the end of FY2022 being the relevant performance period. 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 2022. At the end of June 2022, following a 3-year performance period: – – the Company ranked at the 86th percentile for Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the performance period for the FY2020 performance rights (1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022) when compared to the benchmark group of ASX 300, excluding the Energy sector (oil, gas and coal) the Group’s EPS hurdle for the FY2020 performance rights was measured by the growth in EPS from FY2020 (base year) to the end of the third year of the Performance Period (FY2022). The EPS growth rate was 46.3%, a compound growth rate of 13.5% over that period As a result, 100% of the FY2020 performance rights vested on 1 September 2022 and provided the Executive KMP and other participants an equivalent number of the Company shares to the rights granted as remuneration. Board Membership Following an assessment of Board skills and experience and its alignment to PWR’s long term growth strategy, the Board undertook a recruitment process for an additional Non-Executive Director during the year, with strong experience in the Aerospace and Defence Sector. With the assistance of independent, external recruitment consultants, the Board appointed Mr Kym Osley, AM, CSC to the Board from 1 February 2023. The Board extends a warm welcome to Kym and looks forward to his contribution. Directors’ fees remain unchanged The fees for the Chairman and Non-Executive Directors will remain unchanged for FY2024. Further details can be found on page 84. 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. Our Corporate Scorecard for FY2024 will continue to focus our Executive KMP, leaders 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 exciting time for the Group, I wish to thank our shareholders for their continued support.

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE The Board is accountable for establishing the remuneration policies and framework for the Group and ensuring remuneration of the Executive KMP is fair and reasonable and aligned with the interests of shareholders. Outlined below is the Board’s framework for remuneration governance: Board The Board is responsible for setting remuneration policy and determining Executive KMP remuneration. In addition, the Board is responsible for approving all key performance indicators and performance hurdles set under the Executive KMP variable remuneration framework, being the Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The Board delegates responsibility to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee 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 has regular contact with each of the Executive KMP during the year. Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) The NRC makes recommendations to the Board regarding all aspects of Executive KMP remuneration. This includes making recommendations in relation to the targets to be included in the STIP (both 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 remuneration for the Executive KMP for FY2023 and FY2024. The NRC Charter sets out further information regarding the Committee’s objectives and role. Managing Director Our Managing Director makes remuneration recommendations to the NRC regarding remuneration for direct reports including those who are Executive KMP and how the Pay for Performance Policy and framework applies to all our employees. Responsibility for determining NED remuneration The Board is responsible for assessing Non-Executive Director fees, assisted by the NRC. Shareholders approve the Main Board Package (MBP) for Non-Executive Director remuneration. The MBP approved by shareholders is currently $1,000,000 per annum. Reviews of Non-Executive Director and Committee Member fees are carried out periodically with assistance of independent benchmarking reports and/or consultants. Remuneration Consultants Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Limited (GRG) provided advice during FY2023 on remuneration of Executives and the structure of the performance rights plan. GRG was paid $28,000 plus GST for this advice. 73 Annual Report 2023 YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 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: How we meet these principles Remuneration will incorporate external market reference to maintain market competitiveness We periodically undertake remuneration benchmarking using independent remuneration consultants to maintain market competitiveness and ensure our reward supports the Group in both attracting and retaining key talent. Guiding Principles Attract and Retain Pay Executives for Performance that Delivers Value to Shareholders Make clear the line of sight between performance and reward to ensure that superior performance is recognised and rewarded, with a view to driving long-term growth and shareholder value We set key performance indicators that have 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 KMP “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. The Group’s DNA is at the centre of how we work together to deliver on our goals. Internal equity is achieved partly through external benchmarking and internally moderating performance assessments across the business. The Board maintains ultimate discretion under the Group’s incentive plans to make awards or not and all awards are subject to consideration of the Company’s ability to pay. We attempt to report in a transparent manner on the link between reward and performance under our incentive schemes and outline the governance process to give confidence to our shareholders. Promote Internal Fairness and Equity Always Consider the Group’s Capacity to Pay Build Trust by Promoting Transparency Provide fair, consistent, and internally equitable reward to appropriately compensate employees for their contributions and performance outcomes Manage the balance between reward funding and Company performance / financial outcomes Ensure a level of transparency and clarity in reward design and governance processes 5. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE The Total Remuneration for Executive KMP is made up of the following 3 components: Component What it is How does it link to strategy and performance? Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) TFR consists of base salary and statutory superannuation contributions. Provides competitive ongoing remuneration in recognition of accountabilities for their role. Short Term Incentive (STI) The STI Plan (STIP) is an annual cash bonus that involves linking specific financial and non-financial targets with the opportunity to earn incentives based on a percentage of TFR. From 1 July 2024, half of the STIP earned will be subject to deferral into equity over a 2-year period. Ensures TFR 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. 74 Directors’ ReportPWR Holdings Limited Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 5. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE (continued) Component What it is How does it link to strategy and performance? Long Term Incentive (LTI) The LTI Plan (LTIP) is designed to link long-term executive performance with ongoing creation of shareholder value, through performance rights which convert to shares, subject to the satisfaction of long term performance conditions. Rewards delivery of strategic objectives and longer term growth and sustained shareholder value. Provides greater alignment between shareholder and participant outcomes. 6.

EXECUTIVE KMP SHORT TERM INCENTIVE REMUNERATION OUTCOMES 8.1. STIP Gate The STIP operates with a NPAT gate to activate the plan. The gate was exceeded for FY2023, opening the STIP up to 100% of maximum scores. An increasing amount of STIP is available depending on the amount by which 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 Company Scorecard and which are largely non-financial KPIs. Subject to the STIP gate being met or exceeded the Company Scorecard accounts for up to 60% of the maximum potential cash bonus payable to the Executive KMP. Corporate KPIs on the Company Scorecard align interest and performance at a Group level and to be achieved require strategic thinking, collaboration, and business wide leadership which ultimately improves both short and long term shareholder value. 77 Annual Report 2023 YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 8.

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 Executive KMP following recommendations from the NRC. The NRC has the delegated authority from the Board to engage independent remuneration consultants as it sees fit. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually following performance reviews at the end of the financial year and considers the Executive KMP’s role and accountabilities, relevant market benchmarks and attraction, retention and motivation of Executive KMP in the context of the overall market. With respect to the annual salary reviews conducted at the end of FY2023 for salaries moving into FY2024, the Board referred to the July 2022 Godfrey Remuneration Group benchmark report on the Executive KMP Total Variable Remuneration and took on board GRG’s advice when determining remuneration for the Executive KMP for FY2024.

SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE (continued) The deferred portion of the STIP will have a service condition where the Executive KMP must remain continually employed by the Company or another Group entity until the date of vesting. 50% of the deferred portion of the STI will vest on 1 September, 14 months after the end of the STI financial year, and the remaining 50% deferred of the STI will vest on 1 September, 26 months after the end of the STI financial year.

FY2023 Short Term Incentives The Executive KMP are eligible to participate in the Group’s short-term incentive plan. Executive KMP Participants Managing Director 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 Executive KMP. The amount by which the gate is exceeded then determines the maximum that can be attributed to each KPI on the Company 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 Executive KMP 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 CFO for Board approval. Personal KPIs represent 40% of the maximum potential cash bonus payable to the Executive KMP and for payment to be made against these KPIs, the 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. Target Managing Director – 37.5% TFR CFO – 22.5% TFR Maximum Managing Director – 50% TFR CFO – 30% TFR Potential Outcome of STIP Not met STIP not activated for Executive KMP No STI Award Company Scorecard Weighting Maximum 45% Personal KPIs and PWR DNA - Weighting Maximum 40% STIP Gate Met Company Scorecard Weighting between 45% and 60% Personal KPIs and PWR DNA - Weighting Maximum 40% Exceeded STI Award Corporate up to 75% of maximum Personal up to 100% of maximum STI Award Corporate up to 100% of maximum Personal up to 100% of maximum 81 Annual Report 2023 YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 10. SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE (continued) 10.3. Long Term Incentives The Executive KMP are eligible to participate in the Group’s long term incentive plan. The LTIP is an equity-based incentive designed to provide participants with the incentive to deliver growth in shareholder value. Executive KMP participants Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer How is it paid? Performance Rights. Executive KMP 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 KMP is calculated by dividing the % of TFR eligibility by the Company volume weighted average share price for the 30 days of the June prior to the commencement of the performance period. Managing Director – 50% of TFR (Managing Director participation was approved at the 2022 Annual General Meeting). CFO – 30% of TFR From the 2024 financial year: Managing Director – 90% of TFR (Managing Director FY2024 participation to be approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting). Performance period 3 years. CFO – 50% of TFR For Rights issued prior to 4 November 2022, the Rights convert to ordinary shares in the Company on a 1 for 1 basis at the end of the 3 year performance period depending upon the extent to which performance hurdles are achieved and service conditions met. Amendments to the Performance Rights Plan were approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 4 November 2022. For Rights issued on and from 4 November 2022, at the end of the 3 year performance period, the Rights convert into ordinary shares in the Company on a 1 for 1 basis are paid in cash calculated by multiplying the number of rights by the share price at the time of vesting, or a combination of ordinary shares and cash, at the Board’s discretion. 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 82 Directors’ ReportPWR Holdings Limited Remuneration Report For the year ended 30 June 2023 10. SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE (continued) – 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: – 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 Participants are prohibited from entering 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.

The notice period for each is outlined in the table below. Termination with notice may be initiated by either party.

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.

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 2024 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 in aerospace and defence, automotive aftermarket, motorsports and automotive OEM. 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 post-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 Terminal value growth rate Revenue – compound annual growth rate Average EBITDA margin 2023 % 2022 % 12.8% 2.0% 5.2% 34.6% 11.5% 2.0% 9.2% 16.6% 12.2% 2.0% 5.0% 32.2% 10.4% 2.0% 10.0% 18.4% 105 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION C OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued) C7 Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost.

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 an EPS growth target and total shareholder return (TSR) ranking). The performance period for the rights issued during FY2023 is from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025. 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 2023, all of these performance rights remain on issue. The EPS performance hurdle for the performance rights is based on the compound annual growth rate in EPS. 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 $822,527 (2022: $488,566) 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 2023 2022 TSR component EPS component TSR component EPS component $9.35 $10.63 Nil 40% 3.50% $10.19 $10.63 Nil N/A N/A $8.15 $8.49 Nil 40% 0.98% $9.31 $8.49 Nil N/A N/A 2.82 Years 2.82 Years 2.84 Years 2.84 Years 1.51% 1.51% 1.32% 1.32% Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price prior to the grant date. 107 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION D EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) Reconciliation of the number of outstanding performance rights 2023 2022 KMP Non KMP Total KMP Non KMP Total Opening outstanding balance 83,720 189,618 273,338 82,259 225,493 307,752 Reclassified during the year1 (68,030) 68,030 - - - - Granted during the year 67,562 122,364 189,926 32,878 48,980 81,858 Exercised during the year Forfeited during the year - - (84,294) (84,294) (31,417) (84,855) (116,272) (8,628) (8,628) - - - Closing outstanding balance 83,252 287,090 370,342 83,720 189,618 273,338 Vested and exercisable at 30 June – - - - - - 1.

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 Note C1 C2 Carrying amount 2023 $’000 17,626 16,006 33,632 2022 $’000 21,499 13,813 35,312 Cash and cash equivalents The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $17,626,406 at 30 June 2023 (2022: $21,498,660), 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. 116 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION H OTHER INFORMATION (continued) Exposure to credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period by geographic region was as follows: Australia UK USA The ageing of the Group’s trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting date was as follows: Not past due Past due 1-30 days Past due 31-60 days Past due > 61 days Provision for bad debt Carrying amount 2023 $’000 1,648 11,551 2,807 16,006 11,049 4,386 516 55 2022 $’000 1,312 7,150 5,351 13,813 9,385 3,658 714 189 16,006 13,946 - 16,006 (133) 13,813 Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 30 days are still collectible in full, based on historic payment behaviour and analysis of customer credit risk. No impairment losses were recognised in respect of trade and other receivables during the year (2022: $133,370). 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$200,000 bank guarantee facility; – A$100,000 corporate credit card facility; and – USD$100,000 corporate credit card facility. – 117 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION H OTHER INFORMATION (continued) The following are the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments. 2023 Trade and other payables Right of use liabilities 2022 Trade and other payables Right of use liabilities Note Carrying amount $’000 Contractual cash flows Total $’000 12 months $’000 1-5 years $’000 C7 F1 C7 F1 7,667 18,287 (7,667) (24,379) (7,667) (3,107) 25,954 (32,046) (10,774) - (21,272) (21,272) 7,532 6,742 14,274 (7,532) (6,871) (14,403) (7,532) (1,903) (9,435) - (4,968) (4,968) 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), US dollar (USD), and Euro (EUR). The currencies in which these transactions are denominated are primarily AUD, GBP, USD, and EUR. Under the Group’s financial risk management policies, the Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency risks. At 30 June 2023, the Group had entered into convertible forward contracts to manage its exposure to sales denominated in GBP. These contracts, which settle monthly until 21 December 2023, have a total notional amount of £6.6 million (2022: £3.1 million) and have been accounted for at fair value through the profit and loss. The fair value at year end was a liability of $553,289 (2022: $8,846 liability). During the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group recognised $482,692 in realised gains (2022: $73,679 losses) and $431,945 in unrealised losses on derivatives (2022: $225,444 gains). 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 follows: 30 June 2023 30 June 2022 AUD $’000 GBP £’000 USD $’000 EUR €’000 AUD $’000 GBP £’000 USD $’000 EUR €’000 1,290 5,437 2,214 313 1,592 3,847 3,838 (1,729) (937) (1,544) (31) (1,099) (311) (794) (439) 4,500 670 282 493 3,536 3,044 - 2,300 - - - 3,100 - – - – – Note C2 C7 Trade receivables Trade payables Net statement of financial position exposure Notional amount of foreign currency derivatives 118 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION H OTHER INFORMATION (continued) Sensitivity analysis At 30 June, exchange rates used to translate the above were 0.5246 to the GBP, 0.6618 to the USD, and 0.6087 to the EUR (2022: 0.5676 to the GBP, 0.6886 to the USD and 0.6591 to the EUR). A strengthening (weakening) of the GBP, USD or EUR 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 2022, using consistent foreign exchange rate variances, as indicated below. 30 June 2023 GBP (10% movement) USD (10% movement) 30 June 2022 GBP (10% movement) USD (10% movement) Profit or loss (net of tax) Equity (net of tax) Strengthening $’000 Weakening $’000 Strengthening $’000 Weakening $’000 (600) (71) (436) (309) 546 64 396 281 (600) (71) (436) (309) 546 64 396 281 The impact of the movement in EUR during the year and in prior years was not material. Interest rate risk At the end of the reporting period the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group was as follows: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Nominal amount 2023 $’000 5,000 - 2022 $’000 5,000 - 5,000 5,000 12,626 16,499 - - 12,626 16,499 C1 F1 C1 F1 119 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION H OTHER INFORMATION (continued) Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the beginning of reporting period would have increased or (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown 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: Entity Transaction Triple Eight Race Engineering Pty Ltd (i) Sales of goods Triple Eight Race Engineering Pty Ltd (i) Purchases of goods Transaction values during the year Balance outstanding Receivable/(Payable) 2023 $’000 100 - 2022 $’000 81 (20) 2023 $’000 2022 $’000 - - - - (i) Triple Eight Race Engineering Pty Ltd is an entity associated with Roland Dane, which purchases goods from and sells goods to the Group. 120 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION H OTHER INFORMATION (continued) H3 Auditor Remuneration Audit services Auditors of the Group – KPMG Audit and review of financial statements Accountability GB 2023 $ 2022 $ 195,000 158,900 Audit and review of financial statements – controlled entity – 19,828 Magma Chartered Accountants UK Audit and review of financial statements - controlled entity 26,115 Other services Auditors of the Group - Accountability GB Payroll services for controlled entity 8,794 – H4 Subsequent events The Board declared a fully franked final ordinary dividend of 8.90 cents per share. The financial effect of the 2023 declared final dividend has not been brought to account in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. 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 2022. A number of other new standards are effective from 1 July 2022 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 2023 reporting and have not been early adopted by the Group. The most significant of these to the Group are AASB 2021-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates, AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction 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. 121 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 Income tax Inventories SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.

Government Grants 1 Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. 2 Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Groups’ entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at transaction or balance date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. The consolidated assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the functional currency (AUD) at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. 3 Revenue Sale of goods For the sale of manufactured products, revenue is recognised at the point in time that the performance obligation is satisfied which is generally on shipment of the goods to the customer from the Group’s warehouse. Rendering of services For services, including wind tunnel testing and freight, revenue is recognised over time as those services are provided. 122 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 4 Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount due to 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. 123 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 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 weighted-average cost method, 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. 124 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 SECTION I SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The estimated useful lives are as follows: Land and buildings Plant and equipment Motor vehicles 2023 2022 10-27 years 10-27 years 2-10 years 2-10 years 4-6 years 4-6 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. 9 Intangible assets and goodwill Goodwill Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. At the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. Goodwill is not amortised. Trademarks Separately acquired trademarks are measured initially at cost of acquisition. Trademarks acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Fair value is determined using the relief from royalty method. The Group’s trademarks are subsequently carried at cost less impairment losses and are not amortised as they are considered to have an indefinite useful life. 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. 125 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 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 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. 126 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2023 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. 127 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Directors’ Declaration For the year ended 30 June 2023 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION 1.

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 ($15.92m) 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 13% 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, 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. 130 130 Financial StatementsPWR Holdings Limited Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of PWR Holdings Limited For the year ended 30 June 2023 • 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. 131 131 Annual Report 2023YEAR IN REVIEWADDITIONAL INFORMATIONDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUR VALUE CREATION FRAMEWORK LEADERSHIP Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of PWR Holdings Limited For the year ended 30 June 2023 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.
