Dividend

The Company has declared an unfranked dividend of 1.0 cent per share for the period ending 30 June 2019. The Dividend will be paid on Friday 15 November 2019 to holders on the Company’s fully paid ordinary share register on Thursday, 24 October 2019 (Record Date).

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) that will be available to holders of fully paid ordinary shares (shares). The DRP allows shareholders to reinvest part or all of their dividends into new Acrow Formwork and Construction Limited shares. The issue price of the shares will be at a 2.5% discount to the Market Value which is calculated as the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average sale price for a Share (rounded to four decimal places) sold through a Normal Trade on ASX on the ten trading days commencing on the second trading day following the Record Date. The last date for receipt of an election notice for participation in the DRP is Friday, 25 October 2019.

Control gained over entities

On 31 August 2018 Acrow Formwork and Construction Services Limited acquired all the shares of Natform Pty Ltd Natform (QLD) Pty Ltd, a provider of screen-based formwork system which supports the construction of commercial and residential high-rise buildings and civil infrastructure in the NSW, ACT and Queensland markets. The acquisition was financed through the issue of 10,000,000 shares in Acrow Formwork and Construction Services Limited, $7,000,000 of debt and existing cash reserves. Two additional instalments of $2,250,000 are payable in September 2019 and 2020 and a further $2,000,000 is payable if certain performance targets are met.

Commentary

The Acrow business continued to perform strongly for the 12 months to 30 June 2019, with the inclusion of 10 months of the acquired Natform business.

The business continued to re-base from the highly fragmented and price sensitive residential scaffold market towards value added, highly engineered civil formwork solutions market.

On an underlying basis, the key highlights for the year included:

  • Sales revenue of $71m, up 9% on the prior year reflecting solid growth in the Formwork business[1] and the contribution from the Natform acquisition,

  • Underlying EBITDA of $11.6m, was up 9% and margin was flat

  • Underlying net profit after tax of $7.5m

  • Significant items of $2.6m primarily comprising share-based payments ($1.4m), nonrecurring acquisition related costs and finance restructuring costs

  • Underlying earnings per share was 4.4cps.

  • A final dividend of 1.0cps (unfranked) was declared, up from a maiden final dividend of 0.5cps in FY18

  • Balance sheet remains strong with net gearing at 8%

  • Operating cash profit of $8.8m was flat on the prior year.

The business maintains a strong balance sheet including a net debt position of $3.6m with significant headroom on its facility with Westpac.

1 Formwork business unit comprises Formwork hire and Formwork Sales and Consumables segments.

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 for the purpose of fulfilling the Group’s obligation under the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). They were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 August 2019.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in:

Unrecognised Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
In dollars
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the
following items:
Revenue tax losses
Capital losses
Temporary differences

While tax losses and temporary differences do not expire under current tax legislation, deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items as the Group has experienced a number of years without taxable income and therefore recovery is not considered probable.

The potential benefit of the deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses carried forwards will only be obtained if:

  • (i) The Group continues to derive future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

  • (ii) The Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law;

  • (iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the asset; and

  • (iv) The Group passes the continuity of ownership test, or the same business test as outlined by the Australia Taxation Office.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:

11. Intangibles

Goodwill

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at costs less any accumulated impairment losses.

Acrow annually tests goodwill with indefinite useful lives for impairment. An asset that does not generate independent cash flows and its individual value-in-use cannot be estimated is tested for impairment as part of a cash generating unit (CGU).

Where there is an impairment loss, it is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The asset’s recoverable amount is estimated based on the higher of its value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell.

Impairment testing on Natform companies

Goodwill of $7,301,902 is recorded at 31 August 2018 with respect to the acquisition of Natform Pty Ltd and Natform (QLD) Pty Ltd. The recoverable amount of CGU is supported on a fair value less costs to sell basis with reference to the market price paid to acquire the business. No indicators of impairment have arisen since the acquisition date.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on a value-in-use calculation. This calculation uses discounted cash flow projections based upon management’s projected EBITDA and financial budgets approved by the board of directors covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the cash flows for year 5 and the estimated long-term growth rates.

The discount rate used is the Group’s weighted average cost of capital. The terminal growth rate reflects the management’s outlook on growth.

2019 2018
Terminal growth rate 2.5% -
Post-tax discount rate 10.0% -

Sensitivity

Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these judgements and estimates not occur, the carrying value of goodwill may vary. Any reasonable change in the key assumptions on which the estimates and/or the discount rate are based would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.
