WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023

ABOUT  
WAGNERS

ESTABLISHED IN 1989 IN TOOWOOMBA, 
QUEENSLAND, WAGNERS IS NOW AN 
ASX-LISTED, DIVERSIFIED PROVIDER OF 
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES. 
WE ARE INNOVATIVE, INTEGRATED AND 
OPERATE INTERNATIONALLY.
Through our innovation, we have developed new 
technologies. Our Earth Friendly Concrete® and composite 
products deliver bespoke solutions for our customers while 
reducing the impact on the environment. We are always 
seeking ways to differentiate our business, be more efficient, 
safer and environmentally responsible.

Wagners' vertically integrated business model provides 
security of supply and increased margins for the businesses 
while enabling a broad service offering to customers. 
Our vertical integration sees separate specialist divisions 
connected to support and supply materials and services  
on a timely and cost efficient and competitive basis.

Wagners has established itself as an international supplier  
of construction materials and services. Utilising our expertise 
and experience, our construction materials and services 
business has the ability to deliver major projects, globally.  
We also now have manufacturing facilities in the US for  
our US CFT operations, and the UK for our EFC® business.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES (CMS)
Wagners CMS segment supplies a range of construction 
materials and services to the construction, infrastructure and 
resources industries through the following businesses:

 ` Cement
 ` Concrete
 ` Flyash
 ` Aggregates
 ` Precast concrete
 ` Reinforcing steel
 ` Bulk haulage services
 ` Engineering solutions

COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES (CFT)
CFT products, designed by Wagners, are durable construction 
materials that are used as substitutes for other building materials, 
for example, steel, aluminium and timber. It is lightweight, 
resistant to rust, corrosion and chemical attack as well as 
saving hardwood resources. Our CFT products are increasingly 
being specified in Australia and overseas, particularly the US, 
for boardwalks, bridges, walkways, marinas and as cross-arms 
and poles for electrical distribution networks. Wagners has CFT 
manufacturing facilities in Australia and the US.

EARTH FRIENDLY CONCRETE® (EFC®)
EFC®, developed by Wagners, is a class of zero cement concrete 
based on geopolymer technology. The geopolymer binder 
system is based on the chemical activation of industrial waste 
by-products flyash (from coal-fired power stations) and slag 
(from the production of steel). The use of EFC® significantly 
reduces carbon emissions compared to concrete produced with 
Ordinary Portland Cement. It also has superior performance and 
durability compared to conventional concrete. Wagners has EFC® 
manufacturing facilities in Australia and the UK.

CHAIRMAN’S 
REVIEW

I would like to acknowledge all shareholders and stakeholders 
of Wagners Holding Company Limited for your support and 
persistence during 2023. The first half was extremely challenging, 
which resulted in a detailed strategic review of all business 
operations, which remains ongoing. We have however enjoyed  
a significantly improved second half.

Our position with EFC® is to reduce the ongoing investment  
until such time as the market demand for the benefits our 
technology provides is taken up. As mentioned previously,  
we have an unwavering confidence and a real commitment  
to the technology and our strategy is to hold it until the market 
supports it. 

The construction materials industry has seen changes in both 
leadership and practices. These changes bode well for the long 
term sustainability of the sector. The industry in south east 
Queensland has a long pipeline ahead and it is imperative that 
we can adequately service the ongoing demand for our products 
and meet the need to build infrastructure for the future.

Our Composite Fibre Technologies business has enjoyed  
success in bringing new products to market. We now have a 
good pipeline and order book for utility poles and will enhance 
our production capability through FY24. Our strategy with  
CFT is to grow the market for existing products and focus  
on manufacturing and production efficiencies.

We have enjoyed success in growing revenue from each business 
unit and the work done in FY23 will give us a great platform for 
the next 12 months. Our construction materials business and 
project services division is expected to deliver strong results 
going forward. 

This said, some challenges are still evident in some of our 
businesses. There are ongoing difficulties in the labour market, 
an issue faced by almost every employer in the country. We 
are working hard to ensure that our training and development 
programs for our employees and staff are relevant and will 
ultimately enhance our capability and capacity.

Another challenge we face is the acceptance of our zero 
cement Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®). We have invested 
significant time and resources into this technology over many 
years. We have absolute confidence in the technology, it is the 
only zero cement concrete that has been proven in large scale 
commercial applications in the world. It is a technology that 
has real potential to make a huge reduction in carbon output, 
reducing the CO2 footprint by over 80% compared to ordinary 
portland cement concrete. Our challenge however is that all the 
commentary on net zero and the need for carbon reduction by 
our Governments, Institutions and large Corporations is not being 
followed through. The community is missing the opportunity to 
make a real reduction to the carbon output if it is not prepared, 
or incentivised to adopt carbon reducing technologies, like 
our EFC®. 

In the USA we have now established the CFT facility for the 
production and fabrication of pedestrian infrastructure and we 
intend to grow this market. We have our first pultrusion machine 
commissioned and operating at our facility in Cresson Texas.  
Our aim for FY24 will be to capitalise on the existing investment 
and manufacture products for the market that will provide a 
more consistent revenue stream.

The success of Wagners is driven by the commitment of our staff, 
and I would like to acknowledge all employees, executives and 
our Board, who positively contributed to our improved second 
half performance. Whilst we are still not totally satisfied with 
the business performance, our commitment to shareholders is 
that we will continue to drive efficiencies and practices that will 
enhance the value of Wagners.

Yours sincerely

MANAGING 
DIRECTOR’S UPDATE

FY23 has been a year of challenges for our business and many 
in the industry. The first half was particularly difficult due to the 
tough market conditions, cost escalations and our inability to 
pass on the impacts of these costs, negatively impacting margins 
across the business.

Pleasingly, there was improvement in our second half 
performance, leading to a better overall result for the full year. 
Improved volumes were achieved across a number of business 
areas, particularly in cement, steel and bulk haulage, driving the 
significant increase in revenue. Price rises were implemented  
in our cement and concrete business along with a disciplined 
pricing policy, delivering improved margins. We also 
implemented a number of cost control measures across  
the entire group, with the benefit of these measures starting  
to be realised in the last quarter of FY23.

On a consolidated basis the group delivered a revenue result  
of $477million, a 41% increase compared to FY22. Our reported 
EBIT result of $17million and Net Profit After Fax of $3.1million 
was disappointingly, down on the prior period, however we 
remain optimistic, given the improvement experienced in the 
second half.

Following delivery of our first half results, a thorough review of 
all business operations commenced. This strategic review has 
already delivered a number of outcomes and lead to a number of 
initiatives being implemented, some of which have already made 
a positive contribution, particularly around the disciplined pricing 
policies and cost reduction strategies. This strategic review will 
continue to ensure all businesses have appropriate operations 
and structures in place to deliver continued growth and positive 
results to all stakeholders.

FY23 ACHIEVEMENTS 
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES
Our construction materials and services businesses, consisting 
of cement, precast, concrete, quarries, steel and bulk haulage 
delivered a 41% increase in revenue compared to FY22, with a 
revenue result of $415million.

The key highlights for the year were:

 `

 ` Cement – the business delivered a 25% increase in volumes 
on the prior period. The first half result was impacted by 
increased input costs, however price increases in the second 
half have reduced the impact of these increases to the full 
year result.
 Concrete – after a long period of challenging market 
conditions impacting the business performance, the 
incremental improvement seen in pricing throughout the 
year, along with the maturity of our concrete plant network, 
has been positive. While strict pricing policies implemented 
in the business did have an impact on volumes, over a 
20% increase in the average sale price compared to FY22 
was achieved.  

 ` Precast concrete – we commenced the production of 
precast concrete tunnel segments for the Sydney Metro 
tunnel project in the first half of FY23, with over 50% of the 
project now delivered. This project is a great example of the 
benefits our vertically integrated business provides, with 
value also being delivered to our cement, concrete, flyash, 
steel and transport businesses.  
Steel – the full commissioning of our Brisbane 
processing plant has contributed to the 25% increase in 
revenue. The efficiencies being delivered by our newly 
installed processing equipment has also resulted in 
improved margins.

 `

 ` Bulk Haulage – two new long term projects were secured 

during the year, contributing to the 43% increase in revenue. 
We are now servicing nine key projects across Queensland 
and the Northern Territory. Driver shortages did impact the 
utilisation of our assets during the year. With a number of 
initiatives implemented on recruitment of drivers, we do 
expect margins to improve further.

COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES
Composite Fibre Technologies achieved a 41% growth in sales in 
FY23, with a revenue result of $59million. This revenue result was 
driven by strong sales across existing product lines along with a 
new and increasing demand for our composite utility poles.

The business did not achieve the expected EBIT result with 
legacy pricing on long lead projects and expenses associated 
with commissioning machines and finalising pole specifications, 
impacting margins. Similar to our concrete business, a disciplined 
approach is now being taken with respect to pricing, which 
resulted in improved margins in the last quarter and will lead to 
improved results moving forward. 

Our US facility became fully operational during the year, which 
was an exciting addition to Wagners' facilities. We have welcomed 
a number of additions to the Wagners team based at our US 
facility and we are extremely optimistic about the opportunities 
for this business now that we have the ability to manufacture and 
service US markets from a local operation. 

The long commissioning process of the US facility and the lagging 
sales cycle, has ultimately impacted the performance of our US 
CFT business however we expect our investment in business 
development activities will deliver improved results in FY24.

EARTH FRIENDLY CONCRETE®
Our UK Manufacturing facility became operational during the 
year and our EFC® technology continued to be utilised in projects 
throughout Australia, UK and Europe. 

While we continue to have confidence in our technology to 
deliver significant savings in carbon emissions in the built 
environment, we have not had the market uptake we had hoped. 
We have therefore reduced our investment into the business 
throughout the year and will continue to assess our ongoing 
investment, the long term structure for the business and future 
funding requirements for EFC®, which will be subject to the 
relevant market conditions.

PEOPLE

I am extremely proud of the entire Wagners team and the 
contributions they have made to our business throughout 
the period.

FY23 has been challenging from a labour perspective. It has been 
difficult to recruit and retain great talent in the midst of a very 
competitive landscape while also providing rewarding career 
opportunities to all employees. 

However, we are proud of the culture that we have developed 
within our organisation, underpinned by our “Guiding Principles”. 
This has served us well during this period and we have an 
excellent team at Wagners, that ensure we can deliver on the 
promises we make, to our fellow employees, our customers, 
clients and also our boarder community and shareholders.

Employee numbers increased throughout the year, and we 
currently  have a team of 988 employees. We continued to 
expand our operations geographically, with employees now 
working across 7 countries. We achieved an improvement in 
gender diversity and despite the challenging labour market, 
reduced our employee initiated turnover across a number of 
business units, compared to prior periods. 

We completed our reporting under the Workplace Gender 
Equality Act 2012 during the year. This reporting process assists 
us in identifying any gender equality issues that may exist and 
allows us to implement action plans around promoting gender 
equality across our business.

We will continue to develop and implement initiatives that 
improve our culture and diversity in our business, provide a 
workplace of choice with long term and rewarding careers for 
all employees, however most importantly, a workplace that is 
committed to the safety of everyone.

OUTLOOK

Like FY22, FY23 also produced mixed results. However, we believe 
the discipline we have installed in our business operations, 
particularly some of the outcomes from our strategic review, 
along with our investment in our people, assets and research 
and development, will provide a positive platform to leverage 
a number of opportunities, which will deliver improved 
performance in FY24.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP 
AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES 
THAT IMPROVE OUR CULTURE 
AND DIVERSITY IN OUR BUSINESS, 
PROVIDE A WORKPLACE OF CHOICE 
WITH LONG TERM AND REWARDING 
CAREERS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.

Demand generally for construction materials and services in the 
South East Queensland sector remains strong. Similarly, demand 
for composite products, particularly utility poles, is expected to 
increase as asset owners and utility networks understand the 
performance benefits our product provides. 

More particularly:

 ` We see recent growth in concrete and cement volumes to 
continue and with improvement in market conditions, an 
uplift in business performance should follow.

 ` A strong forward order book is already in hand across a 

number of our businesses, which should see growth in the 
number of projects already contracted.

 ` A favourable resources environment and robust 

infrastructure pipeline in South East Queensland provides 
significant opportunity right across the group, particularly 
with our vertically integrated business model.

 ` An increasing demand for innovative products is anticipated 
as industry is looking for more sustainable and cost effective 
options. This demand will be driven by a requirement to 
reduce construction costs, increase energy efficiency and 
improve sustainability. We see both our composite products 
(CFT) and Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®) as providing 
effective and sustainable solutions.

There is no doubt we have not delivered the results in past 
periods that our shareholders have expected. We do, however, 
take some confidence from the last half of FY23 and the efforts 
we have put into all of our business operations, management, 
business development and research and development, that 
this business will deliver improved performance. The outlook 
is positive, our strategy remains sound and our businesses 
remains well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities 
in our sector to deliver revenue growth and increased returns to 
our shareholders.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Wagners’ 
team for the efforts throughout FY23 and look forward to 
working with all of you again in the future.

Thanks also to the Board of Directors, who, as always, provide 
valued guidance and advice with a commitment to delivering  
on the overall group strategy and value to all stakeholders.

Group financial results
Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $3,123k was achieved in FY23 (30 June 2022: $7,632k). 

Non-IFRS measures

Throughout this report, Wagners has included certain non-IFRS financial information, including Earnings before Interest, 
Depreciation & Amortisation (EBITDA), and IFRS measures such as net profit after tax. These non-IFRS measures may provide 
useful information to recipients for measuring the underlying operating performance of the Group.

Operating results for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 (FY23) are summarised in table 1 below with the following 
presentation adjustments to allow shareholders to assess the Group's performance:

 `

 `

Separating the EFC® operating results from the Group’s Earnings before Interest & Tax (EBIT), providing users with the ability to 
assess Group operating performance outside of the significant investment being made in the EFC® business. All line items above 
Operating earnings before interest and tax (Operating EBIT) shown in table 1 below have EFC® impact removed, with the Operating 
revenue & Operating EBIT reconciling back to the Operating segment note.
Separating the fair value changes on derivatives & impairment of trade receivable in the Group’s EBIT, as management consider 
this to be a more appropriate reflection to assess Group operating performance.

 Other attributable costs are those that management consider provide a better reflection of the Group’s underlying Gross Profit. This is a non-IFRS, 
unaudited measure. Within the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, $15,107k is included within contract work 
and purchased services (2022: $7,244k), $76,599k is included within employee benefits (2022: $50,077k), $20,549k is included within transport and 
travel expenses ($12,893k) and $15,818k is included within other expenses (2021: $10,444k).

FY23 showed strong growth in revenue across most business units. While sales have improved compared to FY22, margins 
have been impacted by both increased costs and a delay in timing to increase sales prices to recover the increased costs. 
There was improvement in the margins in the second half of FY23, although overall margins were lower than in FY22. 

Increased repairs and maintenance costs mainly due to higher spend on aging bulk transport fleet assets and the annual 
shutdown of our Cement plant grinding facilities.

Other operating expenses have increased with the largest contributor being higher electricity consumption for the Sydney 
Metro Tunnel project at our precast facility, the remaining increase reflects the impact of higher cost inflation throughout 
the period.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES

Construction Materials and Services achieved an overall revenue growth of 41% in FY23. 

Cement volumes increased 25% from both existing and new customers. Shipping and fuel costs were significantly higher 
in FY23. Due to contractual arrangements, not all incremental costs were able to be recovered from customers during the 
period. However, there was significant traction with price increases where possible.

Concrete revenues increased due to the increase in selling price by over 20% in FY23, which was partially offset by a 5% 
reduction in volume due to the disciplined pricing approach adopted in FY23. 

Precast had a significant increase in revenue as a result of the Sydney Metro tunnel segment project which commenced 
during FY23. While there were delays with commencement of the project, impacting the first half’s result, the project was in 
full production for the second half of FY23. 

Steel revenue has grown by over 29%, with a 20% increase in volumes with a full year of operations from the processing 
plant servicing the Brisbane market.

Transport revenue also had a significant increase on the prior year, with new projects commencing late in first half of FY23. 
Margins were impacted from the increased maintenance costs and start up costs of new contracts secured throughout the 
period. The under utilisation of assets due to industry wide driver shortages also impacted the results.

The completion of a large, long term crushing project, together with a reduction in sales from our North-West Queensland 
quarry operation, due to flood recovery works not replicated in FY23, resulted in lower sales in the Contract Crushing and 
Quarries business compared to FY22.

DIRECTORS’  REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023Operating and financial review (continued) 
Group financial results (continued) 
Operating results by segment (continued)

COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES

Composite Fibre Technologies revenues increased by 41% mostly from custom build and new products. However, the result 
was impacted by additional investment into Research and Development and business establishment costs in the USA. 
Margins were impacted due to material cost increases not passed on to customers with historical fixed price contracts.

In Australia:

 ` Crossarm sales were consistent with FY22.

 `

FY23 saw the first sales of composite utility poles into the electrical distribution market in Australia and a number of contracts 
secured for the ongoing and future supply of poles into that market.

 ` Custom build sales improved in FY23, however, delivery of projects at appropriate margins has been challenging,  

due to historical fixed priced contracts. 

In the USA:

 `

 `

The long commissioning process of the facility and the lagging sales cycles meant the business was unable to achieve  
the level of sales required from available capacity, resulting in an EBIT loss of $2.4 million.
There was continued investment in business development activities throughout the period and the establishment of a focused 
sales and marketing campaign, which should deliver improved results in FY24.

EFC® — CARBON REDUCING TECHNOLOGIES

The EFC® loss reflects the increased spend in the first half of FY23 prior to the decision to reduce expenditure and focus on 
increasing the utilisation of the existing assets to prove the product and business at a reasonable commercial level. 

While the Board remains confident in the ability of the technology to deliver significant savings in carbon emissions in the 
built environment, the political and market landscape are yet to attribute or promote the value this technology provides 
the environment. This has directly resulted in a much longer delay than anticipated in the market uptake or demand for the 
product. For this reason, the operation of the business must reflect the current market demand for the product, which at 
this time, is limited, notwithstanding its environmental and performance benefits. Appropriate reductions in the ongoing 
operating costs therefore were made during the period. 

The Company will continue to assess its investment in EFC® and the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements 
for the business.

OTHER

Other mostly represents corporate related income and costs. The higher net costs in FY23 is due to change in the fair value

Current assets increased in FY23 mostly due to an increase in trade receivables in line with the increased sales in FY23.  
This has been partially offset by a reduction in inventories as quantities increased in FY22 following supply chain disruptions.

Non-current assets have increased due to the increase in the carrying value of Right of Use Assets that have increased due 
to the CPI increases applied to long term leases throughout FY23. 

Current Liabilities have increased due to:

 ` Higher trade creditors associated with general business.

 `

Increased Right of Use liabilities associated with the increased leases due to CPI increases in FY23. 

Non-current liabilities have increased due to: 

 `

 `

Increased borrowings to fund increase in working capital.
Increased Right of Use liabilities due to increased CPI on existing leases.

Strategy and future prospects
Wagners remains focused on delivering future growth through the following strategies:

 ` Growing and consolidating Wagners core vertically integrated Construction Materials and Services Business in Australia.  

The Company remains committed to this strategy through the expansion of its concrete plant and quarry networks in South East 
Queensland, subject to the prevailing market conditions.

 ` Growing Wagners CFT business through product development, a focussed marketing and sales strategy, and the expansion of 

 `

manufacturing facilities domestically and internationally to support the market growth.
Pursuit of major project opportunities, domestically and internationally, utilising the existing expertise and experience in our 
Constructions Materials and Services Business.

In terms of the FY24 Outlook, improved market conditions experienced in the second half of FY23 are expected to continue. 
With respect to the individual business areas:

Construction Materials and Services 

 ` Cement: Strong cement volumes are expected to continue throughout FY24 through increased activity in the SEQ construction 
sector. Some of the increased clinker and shipping cost experienced in FY23 are expected to soften in FY24, coupled with a 
forecasted increase in volumes, should deliver improved results in FY24.

 ` Concrete plants: the Group will continue to improve the performance of its ready-mix concrete plant network to service the high 
level of activity in the SEQ construction market. Volumes are expected to increase from the existing plant network together with 
increased selling pricing flowing through from FY23.

 ` Precast: segment production will continue for the Sydney Metro project in this first half, with completion of the project expected 

in the second half. The business will pursue other opportunities to follow on from the Sydney Metro project,  
with a dedicated business development team working on this.

 ` Contract crushing and quarries: There is a strong pipeline of contract crushing opportunities identified. The business remains 

focused on securing a number of these opportunities to replace the long term, high margin, crushing project that was completed 
in FY23. With one large crushing project currently underway, the timing of the award of other projects is key to the business 
delivering improved performance in FY24. Given the significant capital upgrades at our Wellcamp and Castlereagh Quarries, 
improved margins are expected as the production capacity and efficiencies are realised.
Transport: new contracts secured in the Group’s bulk haulage business along with investment in assets to service secured 
contracts will deliver increased revenue, productivity and resulting margins.

 `

Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT):

 `

In Australia, the focus for FY24 is:

 – Achieve improved margins from the crossarm product range with the full utilisation of our Crossarm Automation Line 
 – Develop and service an increased market demand for composite utility poles 
 – Continue with the disciplined approach to pricing in the custom build area, delivering improved profitability.

 `

In the US, increased sales are expected as a result of the current marketing and sales campaign underway. To date, the focus in the 
US has been on the custom build or pedestrian infrastructure. The planned additional production line will provide the business 
with significant opportunities to service new markets in addition to custom build, for example, the supply of utility poles into 
electricity networks in the US.

Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®): 

 `

The business has significantly reduced its operational and R&D costs associated with EFC® and will continue to assess the 
investment in EFC®, the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements for the business.

Material risks and risk management strategy
There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could have an impact on the Group’s long-term performance and 
cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The Directors seek to identify material risks and 
put in place policies and procedures to mitigate any exposure. The following table provides details of the key risks and the 
approach being taken to manage them.

RISK

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT

MITIGATION

Health and safety

Failure to manage health and safety risks 
could cause harm to our employees or 
those around us and expose the Group 
to significant potential disruption, 
regulatory breaches, liabilities and 
reputational damage.

Safety remains a top priority. We target an accident-
free environment and have robust policies in place 
covering expected levels of performance, responsibilities, 
communications, controls, reporting, monitoring and review.

We safeguard the health and safety of employees, contractors 
and others working on behalf of the Group, with experienced 
health and safety professionals who provide relevant training and 
help develop a strong culture alongside the management teams; 
all of which is overseen and audited by our Group HSEQ Manager 
and the support of consultants where necessary.

We are constantly improving communication and reporting 
across the Group through simple and effective systems and 
processes, including our HSE Reporting and Monitoring software 
and monthly Group safety & environment meetings

Cost inflation

The Group is susceptible to significant 
increases in the price of raw materials, 
utilities, fuel oil and haulage costs and 
decreases in availability.

The Group seeks to manage our costs by putting in place a 
strategic procurement plan to minimise key supplier risks and 
seek to offset rising commodity prices through tactical supplier 
pricing strategies and programmes.

Risks exist around our ability to pass on 
increased costs through price increases to 
our customers and would have an adverse 
effect on margins if unable to do so.

The Group aims to maintain a group of suppliers such that we 
avoid becoming dependent on any single supplier, although like 
some of our own markets, parts of our supply chain are highly 
consolidated and as such alternative suppliers may be scarce.

Rigorous commercial management reviews of contracts for 
appropriateness given prevailing market conditions, including 
inflation pressures & supply shortages that may increase costs 
to execute.

DIRECTORS’  REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023Operating and financial review (continued) 
Strategy and future prospects (continued)

RISK

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT

MITIGATION

Environment and 
Climate change

There is a risk that environmental issues 
or the effects of climate change could 
expose the Group to regulatory breaches, 
significant disruption, reputational risk,  
or a reduction in demand for our products.

Periods of extreme weather have the 
potential to adversely impact the Group’s 
performance through interruption to 
operations, disruption to the workforce 
with associated declines in productivity, 
increase in costs to execute and lower  
fixed cost recovery.

Attracting, retaining 
and developing  
employees

The Group recognise that its greatest 
asset is its workforce and a failure to 
attract, retain and develop talent will be 
detrimental to Group performance.

The availability of labour, with risks around 
core skills, demographics, capability and 
changing working patterns has become  
a key differentiator in the market. This has 
led to high competition for talent with  
skill shortages in certain areas.

Management, training, and control systems are in place to 
identify potential issues and prevent environmental incidents.

The Group recognises the positive impact that several of our 
products have on the built environment across their lifespan 
and are eager for the durability, longevity and lower lifecycle 
carbon footprint of our products to be championed and 
better understood.

Transitional risks include increasing regulatory burden or cost, the 
inability to adapt with new regulations, or customer preferences 
changing more rapidly than anticipated.

The Groups ambition to reduce its impact upon the environment 
sits hand-in-hand with maximising the financial performance of 
the business; through increasing the sales of its environmentally 
friendly products and also investing in modernising our 
production facilities that will reduce energy consumption 
and waste.

The Group understands where key person dependencies and 
skills gaps exist and continue to develop succession, talent 
acquisition, and retention plans.

Employee support, strong communication and employee 
engagement remain focus areas and the Group continues to 
investigate further improvements to its HR and payroll systems.

The Group is committed to provide a workplace that prioritises 
inclusion, supports the health and wellbeing of our people, 
and provides opportunities for their professional growth 
and development.

DIRECTORS’  REPORTENVIRONMENT REGULATION
The Group is subject to particular and significant environmental regulations. All relevant authorities have been provided 
with regular updates, and to the best of the directors’ knowledge all activities have been undertaken in compliance with or 
in accordance with a process agreed with the relevant authority.

Wagners recognises and accepts that proper care of the environment is a fundamental part of its corporate business 
strategy and concerns for the environment must be integrated into all management programs. Wagners employs a number 
of substantial internal environmental policies, procedures and monitoring processes, including the Board participation in 
monthly Environmental Quality and Safety reviews with a large number of employee participants from throughout the Group. 

Wagners believes that it must conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner that leaves the environment 
healthy, safe and does not compromise the ability of future generations to sustain their needs. Our environmental 
performance is assured annually by SAI Global through compliance to ISO 14001:2015. Wagners is also subject to the 
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 1997 and required to report on energy consumption and greenhouse gas 
emissions of Australian operations, with the Group compliant with requirements. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Wagners Holding Company Limited is committed to achieving and demonstrating the effective standards of corporate 
governance. The Group has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (3rd edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. 

A description of Wagners Holding Company Limited’s current corporate governance practices is set out in the Wagners 
Holding Company Limited’s corporate governance statement, which can be viewed on the Wagners website at https://
investors.wagner.com.au/corporate-governance/.

Wagners has several policies to support a strong governance framework. These policies include a Diversity Policy, 
Continuous Disclosure Policy, Whistle-blower Policy and Securities Trading Policy, and they have been implemented to 
promote responsible management and conduct. Further information is available on the Group’s website https://investors.

INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
Indemnification
In accordance with the constitution, except as may be prohibited by the Corporations Act 2001 every officer of the Company 
shall be indemnified out of the property of the Company against any liability incurred by them in their capacity as officer 
or agent of the Company in respect of any act or omission whatsoever and howsoever occurring or in defending any 
proceedings, whether civil or criminal. 

The Group has not entered into any agreement to indemnify their auditor, BDO Audit Pty Ltd for any liabilities to another 
person (other than the Company) that may arise from their position as auditor.

Insurances
During the reporting period and since the end of the reporting period, the Company has paid premiums in respect of a 
contract insuring directors and officers of the Group in relation to certain liabilities. In accordance with normal commercial 
practices under the terms of the insurance contracts, the nature of liabilities insured against and the amounts of premiums

DIRECTORS’  REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023Auditor’s independence declaration

A copy of the lead auditor’s independence declaration, as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set 
out on page 36 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for financial year ended 30 June 2023.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following non-audit services were provided by the Group’s auditor, BDO Audit Pty Ltd. The directors are satisfied that 
the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The nature and scope of each type of non-audit service provided means that auditor independence 
was not compromised. This assessment has been confirmed to the Board by the Audit & Risk Committee.

During the year, the following fees were paid or payable for non-audit services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, 
its related practices and non-related firms:

18 | 19

DIRECTORS’  REPORTLikely developments and expected results of operations

Construction Materials and Services
The Group is in a strong position to benefit from the large pipeline of infrastructure work in South East Queensland over the 
coming decade. This will provide significant benefit to the construction materials and services offered by the Group, and 
will also provide opportunities for the use of composite products (CFT) and potentially Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®). 

The establishment of permanent concrete plants in South East Queensland, with seven currently operational and 
two greenfield sites identified, delivers on the Group’s concrete strategy previously reported. This, together with the 
development of a greenfield quarry site acquired in South East Queensland strengthens the Group’s position as a supplier 
of construction materials in this market. 

Composite Fibre Technologies
The international expansion of CFT into USA remains a focus. Subject to the anticipated increase in demand being realised, 
a duplicated production line is planned which will increase production capacity from the Groups first US CFT facility in 
Texas. This increased production capacity will also allow the Group to competitively tender for international contracts and 
service new markets, for example, the supply of utility poles into electricity networks.

Following the commissioning of two new pultrusion machines and a crossarm automation line at the Group’s Queensland 
manufacturing facility, the business is now positioned to deliver increased margins from a rapidly growing revenue base. 

Earth Friendly Concrete®
The Company will continue to assess its investment in EFC® and the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements 
for the business.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND PRACTICES

3 
The Group’s remuneration framework is designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees for performance that is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns remuneration with the achievement of strategic 
goals and the creation of value for shareholders.

The key criteria supporting the Group’s remuneration framework are:

 ` Competitiveness and reasonableness;
 ` Acceptability to shareholders;

 `

 `

Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation; and
Transparency.

Wagner’s Executive KMP remuneration consists of fixed remuneration, short-term incentives and long-term incentives plans. 
Executive KMP remuneration includes both fixed and variable components, with variable rewards consisting of short and 
long term incentives that are based on Group performance outcomes.

(a)  Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration for employees reflects the complexity of the individual’s role and their experience, knowledge and 
performance. Internal and external benchmarking is regularly undertaken, and fixed remuneration levels are set with 
regards to comparable market remuneration.

Fixed remuneration is comprised of base salary, salary sacrificed non-monetary benefits, annual & long service leave and 
employer superannuation contributions, in line with statutory obligations.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually, taking into consideration the performance of the individual, business unit, and the 
Group as a whole.

REMUNERATION REPORT  (AUDITED)3 Executive remuneration policy and practices (continued)

(b)  Short-term incentive plan
The Company has adopted a short-term incentive (STI) plan for key employees, and is designed to motivate and align 
employees with the Group’s financial and strategic objectives. 

Non-executive Directors are not entitled to participate in the STI. Key employees are entitled to receive STI payments, 
calculated as a percentage of base salary, subject to achieving performance targets against key performance indicators 
agreed with the Board. 

The Group’s Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) has been assessed as the most suitable measure of financial 
performance for the STI, as EBIT aligns the Group’s operating profit performance to the incentive attainable. 

The following table outlines the key features of the STI Plan for the financial year ended 30 June 2023:

PERFORMANCE RESULTS

PAYMENT METHOD

The Group did not achieve the reported EBIT result for the financial period, as such the Group 
STI performance target was not met.

100% of STI earned will be payable by way of cash in two equal tranches, over one year. 
Other than in certain circumstances, if the employee ceases employment with the Group,  
any tranches earned that have not yet been paid will be forfeited.

1 

 Where EBIT falls between target EBIT ranges, then % of Base Salary will be calculated on a pro rata basis between the upper and lower percentages 
of that range. Note that the STI payments are capped at a maximum of 50% of base salary.

REMUNERATION REPORT  (AUDITED)WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 20233 Executive remuneration policy and practices (continued)

(c)  Long-term incentive plan
The Company adopted a new long-term incentive plan in connection with its admission to the ASX, the Omnibus Incentive 
Plan (LTI). 

Performance rights are issued under the LTI, and it provides for KMP to receive a number of performance rights, as 
determined by the Board, over ordinary shares. Performance rights issued under the LTI will be subject to performance 
conditions that are detailed below.

The Remuneration Committee consider this equity performance-linked remuneration structure to be appropriate as KMP 
only receive a benefit when there is a corresponding direct benefit to shareholders.

Details of performance rights over ordinary shares in the company provided as remuneration to each of the key 
management personnel of the group are set out below. When exercisable, each performance right is convertible into one 
ordinary share of Wagners Holding Company Limited.

The following page provides the key details and movements of all key management personnel performance rights 
applicable to the financial year ended 30 June 2023.

Company’s Constitution the amount paid or provided for payments to Directors as a whole must not exceed the maximum 
aggregate amount of $750,000. The current Independent Non-executive Directors fees are $115,000 per annum and

not achieved, the profit or loss impact of these reversals was a credit of ($81,578).

issued in 2022, the profit or loss impact was an expense totalling $53,183.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1 
The consolidated financial statements of Wagners 
Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries (together, 
the ‘Group’ or ‘Consolidated Entity’) for the year ended  
30 June 2023 were authorised for issue in accordance 
with a resolution of the directors on 21 August 2023.

Wagners Holding Company Limited (the ‘Company’)  
is a for-profit company limited by shares incorporated  
on 2 November 2017 and domiciled in Australia.

The principal activities of the Group during the year 
consisted of the production and sale of construction 
materials and its new generation building materials, 
including the provision of ancillary services.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the 
preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
are set out below. These policies have been consistently 
applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a)  Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards (AASBs) and the Corporations Act 2001, 
including interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The consolidated 
financial statements comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(i)  

 Basis of measurement and reporting 
convention

Except for cash flow information, the consolidated 
financial statements have been prepared on an accruals 
basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected 
non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(ii) 

 New and revised accounting standards 
adoption

There were no new or revised accounting standards 
adopted that had any impact on the group’s accounting 
policies and required retrospective adjustments. 

(iii)   Critical accounting estimates and 

judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions that affect the application of 
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates assume 
a reasonable expectation of future events and are based 
on current trends and economic data, obtained both 
externally and within the Group. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates. Areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements, 
or involving a higher degree of judgement due to 
complexity are as follows:

ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment for 
trade receivables and contract assets requires a degree 
of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime 
expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, 
and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include 
recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the 
impact of current economic conditions and forward-
looking information that is available. Refer to note 10 for 
further information.

ESTIMATION OF USEFUL LIVES OF ASSETS

The consolidated entity determines the estimated 
useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation 
charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite 
life intangible assets. The useful lives could change 
significantly as a result of technical innovations or 
some other event. The depreciation and amortisation 
charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-
strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will 
be written off or written down. There was no adjustment 
required to the estimated useful lives of any assets during 
the financial year (2022: no adjustment).

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-
financial assets at each reporting date by evaluating 
conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to 
the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an 
impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of 
the asset is determined. This involves fair value less 
costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which 
incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions 
using information available at the reporting date. No 
impairment indicators were identified.

WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are 
fully consolidated into the financial statements of the 
Group from the date on which control is obtained by the 
Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued 
from the date that control ceases. Intercompany 
transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on 
transactions between group entities are fully eliminated 
on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed and adjustments made where necessary 
to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted 
by the Group.

(c)  Revenue recognition

Sale of materials and goods

The Group derives revenue from the sale of cement, 
flyash, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, precast concrete 
products and reinforcing steel. 

Sale of construction and new generation building 
materials contains only one performance obligation, 
with revenue recognised at the point in time when the 
material or good is transferred to the customer, with 
payment terms typically 30 days end of month.

Provision of services

The Group derives revenue from the provision of services 
including project specific mobile and on-site concrete 
batching, contract crushing and haulage services, 
with payment terms typically between 30-60 days end 
of month.

INFRASTRUCTURE & MINING PROJECT SERVICES

Revenue from infrastructure and mining project services 
is recognised when the performance obligation to the 
customer has been satisfied, which is generally when the 
service is performed on site. 

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
(a) Basis of preparation (continued) 
(iii) Critical accounting estimates and judgements  
(continued)

INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be 
readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is 
estimated to discount future lease payments to measure 
the present value of the lease liability at the lease 
commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the 
consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third 
party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of 
a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, 
security and economic environment.

LEASE TERM

In determining the lease term, management considers 
all facts and circumstances that create an economic 
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise 
a termination option. Extension options (or periods after 
termination options) are only included in the lease term  
if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended  
(or not terminated).

PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity 
settled transactions with employees by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which 
they are granted. The fair value is determined by using 
the Black Scholes model while taking into account the 
terms and conditions upon which the instruments were 
granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions used 
include share price volatility, interest rates and vesting 
periods, refer to Note 26 for further information. 

(b)  Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of 
the assets, liabilities and results of the Group and all of its 
subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the 
Group has control. The Group controls an entity when 
it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the entity.

(d)  Financial instruments

Classification

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

For fixed-price construction contracts, mainly concerning 
the Group’s New Generation Building Materials division, 
and the construction of concrete batch plants, revenue 
is recognised over time based on the actual service 
provided to the end of the reporting period as a 
proportion of the total services to be provided. This is 
measured by reference to actual labour hours incurred 
and actual costs incurred, relative to the total expected 
inputs to the satisfaction of the individual performance 
obligations. Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of 
progress toward completion are revised if circumstances 
change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated 
revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the 
period in which the circumstances that give rise to the 
revision become known by management.

For precast infrastructure projects, revenue is recognised 
over time based on the output method, being segments 
produced as a proportion of the total segments to  
be delivered.  

Dividends and interest

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive 
a dividend has been established, and interest revenue  
is recognised using the effective interest method.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and 
services tax.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract 
liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued 
revenue’ and ‘deferred revenue’. Contract assets are 
balances due from customers under contracts as work is 
performed and therefore a contract asset is recognised 
over the period in which the performance obligation is 
fulfilled. This represents the entity’s right to consideration 
for the services transferred to date. Amounts are 
generally reclassified to trade receivables when these 
have been certified or invoiced to a customer. Contract 
liabilities arise where payment is received prior to work 
being performed.

The group classifies its financial assets in the following 
measurement categories:

 `

 `

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either 
through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), or through 
profit or loss), and  
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on the group’s business model 
for managing the financial assets and the contractual 
terms of the cash flows. 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses 
will either be recorded in profit or loss or other 
comprehensive income. For investments in debt 
instruments, this will depend on the business model in 
which the investment is held. For investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend 
on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election 
at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity 
investment at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive 
Income (FVOCI). The Group reclassifies debt investments 
when and only when its business model for managing 
those assets changes.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset 
at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at 
Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL), transaction costs 
that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried 
at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are 
considered in their entirety when determining whether 
their cash flows are solely payment of principal and 
interest. Measurement of cash and cash equivalents 
and trade and other receivables are measured at 
amortised cost.

WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
(d) Financial instruments (continued) 
Measurement (continued)

DEBT INSTRUMENTS 

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends 
on the group’s business model for managing the asset 
and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are 
three measurement categories into which the group 
classifies its debt instruments:

 ` Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of 

contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent 
solely payments of principal and interest are measured at 
amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets 
is included in finance income using the effective interest 
rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is 
recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other 
gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and 
losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item 
in the profit or loss.
Fair Value through OCI (FVOCI):  Assets that are held for 
collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the 
financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely 
payments of principal and interest. When the financial asset 
is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously 
recognised is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and 
recognised in other gains/(losses).
Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL): Assets that do not 
meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured 
at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is 
subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss 
and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period 
in which it arises.

 `

 `

Impairment 

The Group’s accounting for impairment losses relating 
to financial assets is on a forward looking basis using 
the Expected Credit Losses (ECL) approach. For trade 
receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the 
simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires 
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial 
recognition of the receivables. The Group has established 
a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical 
credit losses against the receivables ageing profile.

Derivatives

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as 
forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps, to 
hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks, 
respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are 
initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a 
derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as 
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as 
financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

(e)  Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the 
tax payable on the current period's taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction 
where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate 
taxable income, adjusted by changes in deferred tax 
assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, 
unused tax losses and prior period adjustments 
(where applicable).

Current and deferred tax is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement, except to the extent that 
it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive 
income. In which case, the tax is also recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in 
the consolidated financial statements, at the tax rates 
expected to apply when the asset is realised or the 
liability is settled, except for:

 ` When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from 
the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in 
a transaction other than a business combination, that at 
the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor 
taxable profit or loss; or

 ` When the taxable temporary differences relate to interests in 
subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the Company 
is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
differences and it is probable that the differences will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future; or

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and 
unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available 
against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can 
be utilised.

(e) Income tax (continued)

(f)  Earnings per share

(i)   Basic earnings per share

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there 
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate 
to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and 
tax liabilities are offset where the entity has legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle 
on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the 
liability simultaneously.

Tax consolidation group

Wagners Holding Company Limited, the 
ultimate Australian controlling entity, and its 
Australian subsidiaries, have implemented the tax 
consolidation legislation.

Wagners Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries 
in the tax consolidated Group account for their own 
current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are 
measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated Group 
continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. 
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
Wagners Holding Company Limited, the ultimate 
Australian controlling entity, also recognises the current 
tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising 
from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed 
from subsidiaries in the tax consolidated Group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding 
arrangements within the tax consolidated entities are 
recognised as amounts receivable from or payable 
to other entities in the Group. Under the tax funding 
arrangement, the members of the tax consolidated 
Group compensate Wagners Holding Company 
Limited for any current tax payable assumed, and are 
compensated by Wagners Holding Company Limited for 
any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating 
to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are 
transferred to Wagners Holding Company Limited.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the 
profit attributable to the owners of the Company, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than 
ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued 
during the financial period.

(ii)  Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in 
the determination of basic earnings per share to take 
into account the after income tax effect of interest and 
other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of 
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration 
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(g)  Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. The cost of manufactured products 
includes direct costs & direct labour, costs are assigned 
on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable 
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course 
of business less the estimate costs of completion and the 
necessary costs to make the sale.

(h)  Intangibles
Licenses and accreditations acquired as part of a prior 
business combination are recognised separately from 
goodwill. The licenses and accreditations are carried at 
their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is 
calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of 
the contracts over their estimated useful lives, which was 
estimated at 23 years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 20231 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i)  Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment are measured on the 
cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In 
the event the carrying amount of property, plant and 
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable 
amount, the carrying amount is written down 
immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and 
impairment losses are recognised through profit or loss.  
A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made 
when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 
1(j) for details of impairment).

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment 
is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in 
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. 
The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of 
the expected net cash flows that will be received from 
the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The 
expected net cash flows have been discounted to their 
present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group 
includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and 
variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying 
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits 
associated with the item will flow to the Group and 
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other 
repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in 
profit or loss during the financial period in which they 
are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including 
land improvements & buildings, is depreciated on a 
straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for 
use. Estimated useful lives for each class of depreciable 
asset are as follows:

Land improvements & buildings 

5 – 30 years

Plant and equipment 

Motor vehicles 

2 – 30 years

4 – 15 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, 
and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each 
reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately 
to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount  
is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by 
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the 
period in which they arise. 

(j)  Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are tested at the end of each 
reporting period for impairment, or more frequently if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might be impaired. An impairment test is carried out 
on an asset by comparing the recoverable amount of 
the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying 
amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over 
its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss. For the purposes of assessing impairment, 
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there 
are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash generating units).

(k)  Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains 
control over one or more businesses. A business 
combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition 
method, unless it is a combination involving entities or 
businesses under common control. The consideration 
transferred for the acquisition of a business comprises 
of the:

 `

 `

 `

 `

 `

Fair values of the assets transferred;
Liabilities incurred to the former owners of the  
acquired business;
Equity interests issued by the Group;
Fair value of any asset or liability resulting from  
a contingent consideration arrangement; and 
Fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in  
the business. 

46 | 47

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20231 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
(k) Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with 
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values 
at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are 
expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the fair 
value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded 
as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value 
of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired 
and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, 
the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a 
bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration 
is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are 
discounted to their present value as at the date 
of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's 
incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which 
a similar borrowing could be obtained from an 
independent financier under comparable terms 
and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a 
financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability 
are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes 
in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(l) 

 Foreign currency transactions and 
balances

Exchange differences arising on the translation of 
monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange 
differences arising on the translation of non-monetary 
items are recognised directly in other comprehensive 
income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is 
recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise 
the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.

(iii)  Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations 
(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary 
economy), whose functional currency is different 
from the presentation currency are translated into the 
presentation currency as follows:

 ` Assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are 
translated at the closing exchange rate at the reporting date 
of the reporting period; and
Income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income are translated at average 
exchange rates for the reporting period.

 `

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 
operations with functional currencies other than 
Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive 
income and included in the foreign currency translation 
reserve in the statement of financial position. The 
cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified 
into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is 
disposed of.

(m) Employee benefits

(i)   Functional and presentation currency

(i)   Short-term employee benefits

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is 
measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which it operates. The consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, 
which is Wagners Holding Company Limited’s functional 
and presentation currency.

(ii)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing 
at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary 
items are translated at the year-end exchange rate.  
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue 
to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the 
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value 
are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair 
values were determined.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period 
in which the employees render the related service are 
recognised in respect of employees' services up to the 
end of the reporting period and are measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are 
settled. The liability for annual leave is presented as 
provision for employee benefits. All other short-term 
employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 20231 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
(m) Employee benefits (continued)

(ii)  Other long-term employee benefits

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave 
which is not expected to be settled wholly within  
12 months after the end of the reporting period in which 
the employees render the related service is recognised 
in the provision for employee benefits and measured 
as the present value of expected future payments to be 
made in respect of services provided by employees up 
to the end of the reporting period using the projected 
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected 
future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields at the end 
of the reporting period on corporate bonds with terms 
and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows.

The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits 
are presented as non-current provision for employee 
benefits the consolidated statement of financial position, 
except where the Group does not have an unconditional 
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after 
the end of the reporting period, in which case the 
obligations are presented as a current provision for 
employee benefits.

(iii)  Retirement benefit obligations

All Australian-resident employees of the Group are 
entitled to receive a superannuation guarantee 
contribution, currently 10.5% of the employee’s average 
ordinary salary, to the employee’s superannuation fund  
of choice. All superannuation guarantee contributions are 
recognised as an expense when they become payable. 
All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee 
contributions at the end of the reporting period are 
measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected  
to be paid when the obligation is settled and are 
presented as current liabilities in the Group’s statement  
of financial position.

Other amounts charged to the financial statements in 
this respect represents the contribution made by the 
consolidated entity to employee retirement benefit funds 
in other jurisdictions.

(iv)  Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is 
terminated by the Group before the normal retirement 
date, or when an employee accepts voluntary 
redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group 
recognises a liability and expense for termination 
benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group 
can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and 
(b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring 
pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities 
and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination 
benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees 
affected is known, the obligation for termination benefits 
is measured on the basis of the number of employees 
expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are 
expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after 
the annual reporting period in which the benefits are 
recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts 
expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are 
accounted for on the same basis as other long-term 
employee benefits.

(v)  Short-term incentive scheme

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for 
bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration 
the earnings of the Group after certain adjustments, 
subject to Board approval.

(n)  Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal 
or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for 
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits 
will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the 
amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of 
the reporting period.

(o)  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 
short-term highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 
Bank overdrafts are reported within borrowings in current 
liabilities on the statement of financial position.

48 | 49

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20231 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p)  Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from 
customers for goods sold and services performed in 
the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected 
to be collected within 12 months of the end of the 
reporting period are classified as current assets. All other 
receivables are classified as non-current assets. 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount 
of consideration that is unconditional unless they 
contain significant financing components, when they 
are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade 
receivables with the objective to collect the contractual 
cash flows where those cashflows represent solely 
payments of principal and interest and therefore 
measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.

(q)  Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods 
and services provided to the Group prior to the end 
of the reporting period which are unpaid. Trade and 
other payables are presented as current liabilities and 
are normally paid within 45 days of recognition, unless 
payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting 
period where they are recognised as non-current liabilities. 

(r)  Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of 
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between 
the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised 
in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings 
using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs 
on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised 
as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is 
probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn 
down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw  
down occurs. 

Borrowings are removed from the consolidated 
statement of financial position when the obligation 
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expired. The difference between the carrying amount 
of a financial liability that has been extinguished or 
transferred to another party and the consideration paid, 
including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income 
or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless 
the Group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the 
reporting period.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any 
qualifying assets are capitalised during the period of 
time that is required to complete and prepare the asset 
for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs not 
previously mentioned are expensed as incurred.

(s)  Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,  
net of tax, from the proceeds.

(t)  Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend 
declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer 
at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of 
the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the 
reporting period.

(u)  Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation 
Office (ATO). 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the 
amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included 
with other receivables or payables in the statement of 
financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST 
components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or 
payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash 
flows included in receipts from customers or payments 
to suppliers.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms less than 
twelve months with no renewal options, and for 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 has applied judgement to determine the 
lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a 
lessee that include renewal options. The assessment 
of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise 
such options impacts the lease term, which significantly 
affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use 
assets recognised.

(y)   New accounting standards for 
application in future periods
New accounting standards and interpretations have 
been issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatory for 
the 30 June 2023 reporting periods and have not been 
early adopted by the Group. The Group has assessed the 
impact of these new standards and interpretations and 
does not expect that there would be any material impact 
on the Group in the current or future reporting periods 
and on foreseeable future transactions. 

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(v)  Rounding of amounts
The amounts contained in the financial report have been 
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars where noted 
($’000), or in certain cases the nearest dollar, under the 
option available to the Company under ASIC Legislative 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191. The Company is an entity to which this 
legislative instrument applies. 

(w) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Wagner 
Holding Company Limited, has been prepared on the 
same basis as the consolidated financial statements. 
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost.

(x)  Leases
As a lessee, the Group recognises right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities for most leases in the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position, representing its 
obligation to make lease payments.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease 
liability at the lease commencement date. 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. Generally, the Group 
uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the 
interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by 
lease payments made. Lease liabilities are remeasured 
when there is a change in future lease payments arising 
from a change in a rate, or 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.

The right‐of‐use asset is initially measured at the amount 
of lease liability plus any lease payments made before 
commencement less any lease incentives received. It also 
includes and direct costs and restoration costs. Right-
of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter 
of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-
line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise 
a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated 
over the underlying asset’s useful life.

SEGMENT REPORTING

2 
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires the Group to 
identify operating segments and disclose segment 
information on the basis of internal reports that are 
provided to, and reviewed by, the chief operating 
decision maker of the Group to allocate resources and 
assess performance. In the case of the Group, the chief 
operating decision maker is the Board of Directors.

An operating segment is a component of the Group 
that engages in business activity from which it may earn 
revenues or incur expenditure, including those that 
relate with other Group components. Each operating 
segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board 
to make decisions about resources to be allocated to 
the segments and assess its performance. The Board 
monitors the operations of the Group based on the 
following three segments:

 ` Construction Materials & Services (CMS): supplies a range 
of construction materials and services predominantly to 
customers in the construction, infrastructure, and resources 
industries. Key products include cement, flyash, ready-
mix concrete, precast concrete products, aggregates and 
reinforcing steel. Services include mobile concrete, crushing 
and haulage services, and are typically provided via medium 
to long-term contracts both domestically and internationally.
 ` Composite Fibre Technology (CFT): provides an innovative 
and environmentally sustainable new generation building 
material, Composite Fibre Technology (CFT).
Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®): provides an innovative 
and environmentally sustainable new generation building 
material, Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®) technology.

(b)  Ageing of trade receivables and contract assets
Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

The Group has considered the collectability and recoverability of trade receivables and contract assets. An allowance for 
expected credit loss is recognised for the specific irrecoverable trade receivable amounts. The ageing of trade receivables 
are outlined for the current and prior financial periods as follows:

1  Current is defined as per the payment terms disclosed in note 1(c), being a combination of 30 and 60 day terms. 

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit 
risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to the Group’s right to consideration for performance 
complete to date before payment is due and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the 
same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for current trade receivables are a 
reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
7 Trade and other receivables (continued) 
(b) Ageing of trade receivables and contract assets (continued)

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over the last 3 years. The historical loss rates are adjusted 
to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to 
settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP, country specific unemployment rates and the outlook for customer 
industries as the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in 
these factors.

The Group has not adjusted its expected loss rate in the financial year ended 30 June 2023 due to it seeing no current trend 
with its customers extending outside payment terms. In addition, the Group foresees continued significant Government 
backed spending in the construction and infrastructure sectors in the coming financial periods, particularly in Southeast 
Queensland. 

Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that 
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment 
plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses. Subsequent recoveries 
of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

 On 28 June 2021, the Group secured an extension with its current banks NAB & HSBC to its existing finance facilities, with an expiry date of 1 July 2024. 

The products within the finance facility bear interest at the Bank Bill Swap Rate plus a predetermined margin.

 Rates vary across the two club banks who cover the Group’s finance facilities, and are affected by a number of factors including prior covenant ratios, 
date range within the facility agreements and the sub-facility being utilised.

 As part of the extended facility agreement the Group must adhere to three covenants, a fixed charge cover ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio and a 
capitalisation ratio covenant. All covenants have been complied with during the financial years ended 30 June 2023 & 30 June 2022.

In March 2023 the Group secured a facility limit increase to term debt of $20 million, up to $120 million.

 In July 2023 new facilities have been agreed to with existing lenders NAB & HSBC, with the documentation currently being finalised. These new 
facilities will expire in July 2026 and increase both term debt and working capital facility limits further to those already extended in March 2023,  
up to $150 million.

 The Group enters into agreements to fund certain plant and equipment purchases; these are assessed on a case by case basis. The underlying plant 
and equipment is held as security over each Chattel mortgage until repayments are made in full.

Short-term lease commitments are entered into by the Group on a case-by-case basis, as such any commitments outstanding 
at the end of the financial year have an insignificant value in total.

(c)  Extension options
Extension options are included in a number of premises leases across the Group, these are used to maximise operational 
flexibility in terms of managing assets in the Group’s operations. In determining the lease term, the Group considers all facts 
and circumstances available at the time. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably 
certain to be extended.

The majority of the Group’s premises leases still have a considerable number of years left until expiry, as such no extension 
options on premises leases have been included in the calculation of lease liabilities.

(i) Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts 
accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of 
service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances 
classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current 
liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event 
employees wish to use their leave entitlement.

The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet 
vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave 
being taken is based on historical data and the expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of 
the reporting period of corporate bonds with terms and conditions which match, as closely as possible, the estimated future 
cash outflows. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been discussed in Note 1(m).

(ii) Other provisions is made up of various cost provisions to allow for repairs & maintenance on plant and machinery.

 Shares were issued to Wagners’ Employee Share Trust for vested performance rights under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the share values were 
calculated at the prior closing price of the date of issue.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

(c)  Other securities issued
As part of the previously disclosed Long Term Incentive Plan (Omnibus Incentive Plan) for Company employees, the Company 
issued 2,276,811 performance rights on 26 September 2022 (2022: 2,280,060) with more information to be found in Note 26. 

(d)  Pre IPO distributions of equity
Prior to listing on the ASX, transactions with other entities within the previous consolidated Group were recognised as a 
distribution of equity to related parties.

(e)  Capital risk management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain 
future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares and retained earnings of the Group. The Board of 
Directors monitors the return on capital as well as considers the potential of future dividends to ordinary shareholders. The 
Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and  
the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as 
total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may 
adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce 
debt. The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital 
risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.  
The consolidated entity monitors capital to ensure it maintains compliance with its various financial covenants. Refer to note 14 
for a summary of existing financial covenants for the debt facilities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202323  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Group measures and recognises certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial 
recognition, currently being only derivative financial instruments. The Group subsequently does not measure any other 
assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

(a)  Fair value hierarchy 
AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which 
categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels as follows:

 `

 `

 `

Level 1: measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 
access at the measurement date. 
Level 2: measurements based on inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), which are observable for the asset 
or liability, either directly or indirectly. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is 
included in Level 2.
Level 3: measurements based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable 
inputs).

(b)  Estimation of fair values 
The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available 
to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the 
asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group is the income approach:

 `

Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single 
discounted present value.

Fair value techniques and inputs are summarised as follows:

VALUATION TECHNIQUE & INPUTS

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using the present

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 202324  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk consisting of interest 
rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk (commodity and equity price risk). The Group's overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the 
financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it 
is exposed.

Risk management is carried out by a central finance department. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks 
in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. Finance provides overall risk management, covering specific 
areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative 
financial instruments in accordance with the Group’s facilities agreement and company policies. 

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge 
certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for economic hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative 
instruments. These derivatives are not designated hedges and the Group has therefore not applied hedge accounting. The 
Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and aging analysis for credit risk.

(a)  Credit risk 
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures such as the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting 
and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of 
significant customers and counterparties; ensuring to the extent possible that customers and counterparties to transactions 
are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. 

Where the Group is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, these 
customers may be required to pay upfront, or the risk may be further managed through obtaining security by way of 
personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default.

Credit risk exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying amount of trade 
receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group does not consider there to be any significant concentration of 
credit risk with any single/or group of customers. The Group derives revenue from one key customer (2022: two), which 
accounted for 12% of revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: 22%). Trade and other receivables that 
are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality, aggregates of such amounts are detailed in 
note 7.

(b)  Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting 
its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

 ` preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
 ` monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

 `

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

 ` maintaining a reputable credit profile;
 ` managing credit risk related to financial assets;

 `

 `

only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

24 Financial risk management (continued) 
(b) Liquidity risk (continued)

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Bank overdrafts have been 
deducted in the analysis as management does not consider there is any material risk of termination of such facilities. 
Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the timing of any 
potential settlement of the liabilities. The table include both interest and principal cash flows and therefore the total may 
differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

(i)  

Interest rate risk 

The Group’s main exposure to interest rate risk is long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates, expose the 
Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk if the 
borrowings are carried at fair value.

Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and the Group enters into interest rate swaps to 
convert the majority of debt to fixed rate. At 30 June 2023 0% (2022: 62.7%) of Group debt is at a fixed rate.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Under these swaps, the 
Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating 
rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

The notional principal amounts of the swap contracts approximate the Group’s borrowing facilities, as described above.  
The net interest payment, or receipt settlements of the swap contracts occur every 30 to 90 days and correspond with 
interest payment dates on the borrowings.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following outstanding interest rate swap contracts:

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. Profit or loss is sensitive 
to the change in interest rates from higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents, and also the increase/
decrease in fair value of derivative instruments as they are measured at fair value through profit or loss, per note 1(j).

(c) Market risk (continued)

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk 

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures.

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales & 
purchases are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of 
Group companies is primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), with currently minor subsidiaries operating in United States 
dollars (USD) & Malaysian ringgit (RM). 

FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS

At any point in time, the Group hedges 60% to 100% of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of forecast 
purchases in US Dollars (USD), being the main exposure, over the following 12 months. The Group uses forward exchange 
contracts to hedge its currency risk. These contracts commit the Group to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign 
currencies in the future at specified exchange rates, most have a maturity of less than 1 year from the reporting date. The 
Group’s current foreign subsidiaries operations is collectively immaterial, and so the Group does not hedge against these 
foreign currency exposures.

The following table summarises the notional amounts of the Group’s commitments in relation to foreign exchange 
forward contracts.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates. Profit or loss is 
sensitive to the change in foreign exchange rates from purchases, and also the change in fair value of derivative instruments 
as they are measured at fair value through profit or loss, per note 1(j).

+10% AUD/USD exchange rate

-10% AUD/USD exchange rate

Other price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors (other than those arising from interest rate risk or 
currency risk) for commodities.

The Group's exposure to commodity price risk arises from commercial transactions required for the operations of the 
business. To manage its commodity price risk the Group enters into fixed price contracts with its main suppliers for raw 
materials in its cement business. There are no derivative asset or liabilities in relation to commodity prices at year end,  
and so any commodity price movement would not impact reported profit for the year ended 30 June 2023.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202326  SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Company adopted a new long-term incentive plan in connection with its admission to the ASX, the Omnibus Incentive 
Plan (LTI). 

Performance rights are issued under the LTI, and it provides senior executives to receive a number of performance rights, 
as determined by the Board, over ordinary shares. Performance rights issued under the LTI will be subject to performance 
conditions that are detailed below.

The Remuneration Committee consider this equity performance-linked remuneration structure to be appropriate as senior 
executives only receive a benefit when there is a corresponding direct benefit to shareholders.

(a)  Expenses recognised through profit or loss
The total expense for share based payment recognised through Profit or Loss for the financial year 30 June 2023 was a 
credit of $102,699 (2022: $327,036 expense). The expense was calculated based on the probability of vesting conditions 
being met and the fair value of options granted. There were vesting conditions met this financial year. 

(b)  Overall performance rights movements
Details of performance rights issued, exercised and expired during the financial year are set out below:

 Represents the relevant period of time to which both the performance vesting condition is measured and the period of time the recipient must 
remain employed with the Group.

 Where options of a particular calendar year offer have not met all vesting conditions, they will be forfeited in the financial year that the final vesting 
date of that offer has passed, therefore any the remaining options with a final vesting condition of FY23 will be forfeited in FY24. 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the year was 2.9 years. 
The performance options outstanding have no exercise price.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of Wagners Holding Company Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Wagners Holding Company Limited (the Company) and its 
subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies 
and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.  

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters.  

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO 
Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of

WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
Revenue recognition and measurement 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Group’s disclosures regarding 
revenue recognition are included in Note 
1(c) and Note 3, detailing the accounting 
policies applied, and disclosures relating 
to AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers. 

The assessment of revenue recognition 
was significant to our audit given 
revenue is a material balance within the 
financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2023. 

The assessment of revenue recognition 
and measurement required significant 
auditor effort. 

In addition, the Group entered into a 
contract during the prior year to provide 
precast materials to the Sydney Metro 
tunnel project. This contract requires 
the Group to manufacture and supply 
tunnel segments over a two-year period. 
The total value of the contract is 
considered material to the Group, and 
required significant auditor effort in 
assessing the revenue recognition of this 
contract. 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

• Assessing the Group’s revenue recognition policy for

compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers;

• Documenting the processes and assessing the internal

controls relating to revenue processing and
recognition;

• Tracing a sample of revenue transactions to supporting
documentation and the satisfaction of performance
obligations;

• Performing detailed substantive analytical procedures
on the yearly sales for each material component;

• Obtaining management’s revenue recognition paper on

the Sydney Metro tunnelling contract, assessing
revenue recognition for compliance with AASB 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers including
identifying separate performance obligations and
allocating the transaction price to the separate
performance obligations, obtaining a confirmation of
the year end receivables balance, reconciling amounts
recognised as revenue and contract assets or
liabilities, and attending physical observation of the
production process at year end; and

• Assessing the adequacy of the Group's disclosures

within the financial statements.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information contained in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this 
auditor’s report, and the Annual Report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above and, in doing so, 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.   

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are 
required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected.  If it is not 
corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom 
our report is prepared. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and 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 this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
