==> picture [89 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

The Group reported a loss after income tax of $48.3 million (30 June 2018: profit $6.8 million). The loss after income tax is substantially due to non-cash impairments ($62.5 million) and significant items ($7.9 million) which are discussed in the section titled Reconciliation of net profit after tax to non-Australian Accounting Standard measures , below.

Underlying operating cash conversion improved on the prior year, reflecting the robust operating cash generation of the business.

The impairment charge of $62.5 million was primarily the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, and other assets in the Adventure Experiences segment. The impairment of goodwill and other intangibles is attributable to lower than anticipated benefits from integration of acquired businesses and softer tourism trading conditions in the Tropical North Queensland region, which has contributed to adverse impacts on projected cashflows.

Presented below is a summary of historical and current operating statistics and financial performance information, including a comparison of actual results for the period ended 30 June 2019 against the same period last year.

Group financial performance

Underlying EBITDA $27.2 million (30 June 2018: $30.2 million). The Group reported an increase in revenue of 19% to $161.3 million, driven by the full year contribution from FY18 acquisitions, however challenges experience in these acquisitions arising from softer tourism trading conditions in the FNQ market saw EBITDA impacted, a reflection of the fixed cost leverage in the businesses acquired.

Our core skydiving business performed reasonably well across Australia and New Zealand. However, overall, FY19 was a challenging year for the Group. Our results were below guidance expectations, principally attributable to the performance of the acquisitions in our Adventure Experiences segment leading up to FY18 which have encountered adverse trading conditions, including:

  • Softer tourism conditions in Far North Queensland (‘FNQ’);

  • Prolonged poor weather, including record rainfalls; and

  • Slower than anticipated integration.

The Group has commenced a strategic review of the business, with a renewed focus on core activities, simplifying the business and improving return on capital.

Skydiving

The Group continues to have a market leading position in Australia and New Zealand tandem skydiving markets. FY18 saw the first fatalities in the Australian tandem skydiving industry in over 30 years.

Tandem jump volume, the key driver of Skydiving segment profitability, increased by 1.3% to 192,179 (30 June 2018: 189,784), with 131,915 tandem jumps in Australia (30 June 2018: 132,293) and 60,264 in New Zealand (30 June 2018: 57,491). The Australian tandem jump volume decrease of 0.3% was principally driven by the three Far North Queensland dropzones which represented 27.5% of FY19 Australian jump volume, down by 12.9% on FY18. Excluding these Far North Queensland dropzones, the Australia volume was up 5.5% on FY18, with strong year on year performance for key metropolitan drop zones.

In New Zealand, the growth was driven by the NZone operation in Queenstown, which experienced favourable weather conditions and a stronger performance over the Chinese New Year period compared to the prior year.

Adventure Experiences

The Adventure Experiences segment is primarily a Cairns, Far North Queensland based operation located in the Australian wet tropics. The region experienced softer trading conditions in FY19, demonstrated by a decrease in Cairns airport arrivals (particularly pronounced from September 2018 onwards), combined with record rainfalls in the region, with continued poor weather into 2H19.

FY19 was on the back of significant acquisition activity in the Adventure Experiences business in FY17 and FY18, and as a result the downturn in market conditions (relative to the trading highs of FY16 and FY17) and slower than anticipated integration has had a material impact on Group earnings.

Great Barrier Reef visitation volume, ex-Cairns marina was down ~8% on FY18. While at a portfolio level our brands increased market share in terms of volume, it included a shift to lower yielding products.

Great Barrier Reef Helicopters had a challenging year, which included the loss of a key tourism customer contract from 1 April 2019 which led to a rebalance to commercial work, including an investment in additional helicopters and associated ancillary plant & equipment. FY19 also saw capital investment in the helicopter fleet driven by time life component and overhaul requirements. Capital intensity and asset management specialisation continue to be defining features of the Great Barrier Reef Helicopter business and we are considering the strategic position of this business in the Group’s portfolio.

The full year contribution of FY18 acquisitions, being Great Barrier Reef Helicopters, Big Cat Green Island and Tropical Journeys (Calypso and Daintree Tours) was offset by the impact of the deterioration in tourism trading conditions in the region in FY19.

Corporate

FY19 saw a transition in the Board and Management team. This included the appointment of Bob East as Chairman in October 2018 with a number of key management leadership changes effected in 2H19, with the recent appointment of CEO, John O’Sullivan and CFO, Owen Kemp and GM Corporate Development, Ian Douglas earlier in the half, placing the business in a position to successfully execute the Group’s future strategies.

Capital management

Due to the lower than anticipated earnings and cashflows in the period and considering the net debt position of the Group at 30 June 2019 and trading momentum into the first quarter of FY20, the Directors have decided that no dividend will be paid in relation to FY19. It is the Directors’ view that this is a prudent measure in the short term and will facilitate balance sheet flexibility to retain optionality through the strategic review process outlined below.

During the period the Group has continued to work closely with its incumbent lender, NAB, and has extended the maturity of its corporate debt facilities by six months to October 2020. The Group remains compliant with the debt covenants under the Multi Option Finance Facility, and is relatively lowly geared with a net debt to Underlying EBITDA ratio of 1.1x

Outlook and strategy

The Group has commenced a strategic review of the Group’s portfolio of assets and operations.

The strategic review will examine options and initiatives to address recent share price underperformance. This will take into consideration the medium and long term growth prospects for each of the Group’s operating businesses, brands and geographies.

The Group will keep shareholders informed of any relevant developments arising from the strategic review and will provide an update at the company’s Annual General Meeting in November 2019.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles

The impairment is attributable to lower than anticipated benefits from integration and softer tourism trading conditions in the Tropical North Queensland region which has contributed to adverse impacts on projected cashflows. The Group notes that as at the date of the calculations it has commenced a strategic review of the Adventure Experiences segment that may lead to changes in the projected cash flows but as no formal plans had been implemented and/or sufficiently progressed any initiatives to improve future cash flows were not factored into the recoverable amount calculations.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and other assets

Consists of assessment of specific assets with indicators of impairment (principally relating to the Adventure Experiences segment) and the impact of the AASB 116 which requires fair value movements for those asset classes carried at fair value (aircraft and helicopters) to be recognised on an individual asset basis.

Fixed wing and rotary impairments of $5.4 million were recognised in Reported EBITDA, with $4.7 million revaluation increment recognised below the line in other comprehensive income (i.e. a net impairment in carrying value of $0.7 million).

The impairment charges recognised are non-cash in nature and have no impact on the Group’s compliance with banking facility covenants.

Significant items

Significant items in the financial year ending 30 June 2019 of $7.9 million comprised a number of one-off items, predominately non-cash in nature. The non-cash significant items, totaling $6.4 million included:

  • Correction of deferred tax asset balances from prior years of $4.3 million

  • Acquisitions and consolidation adjustments relate to the reconciliation of balance sheet items, including the results of 30 June 2019 reconciliation review of assets and liabilities

  • Initial recognition of provision in relation to onerous operating leases

  • Asset write-downs relate to an assessment of capitalised development costs

  • Share-based payments – non-cash recognition of share options expense

Other one-off items are those significant items that are non-recurring in nature and largely related to the integration of acquisitions made in the 30 June 2018 financial year and the management transition that occurred during the financial year. These one-off items included $0.7 million restructuring and recruitment costs, $0.4 million legal & advisory costs for significant one-off projects and $0.4 million of other one-off items.

Significant items in FY18 ($2.8 million) principally related to business acquisition due diligence and advisory fees, rebranding project costs and office renovation expenses.

EBITDA and EBITA are financial measures which are not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (“AAS”). EBITDA represents the profit under AAS adjusted for interest, income taxes, impairment, depreciation and amortisation. The Directors consider EBITDA to reflect the operational earnings of the consolidated entity. EBITA represents EBITDA less depreciation and software amortisation.

Underlying EBITDA and Underlying EBITA are financial measures not prescribed by AAS and represent respectively the EBITDA and EBITA (as set out above) adjusted for significant items.

Note 1 Operating Segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group has identified the following reportable operational segments:

  • Skydiving

  • Adventure Experiences

  • Corporate

The consolidated entity is organized into above three operating segments based on a combination of factors including products and services, geographical areas and regulatory environment.

These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Directors, who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. The CODM reviews EBITDA at the segment level. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The Skydiving segment operations primarily comprises tandem skydive and related products, with ancillary aircraft maintenance and leasing revenues. Adventure Experiences offers a range of customer experiences primarily based out of Cairns and Port Douglas in Tropical North Queensland, including Great Barrier Reef snorkel and dive, white water rafting, ballooning and helicopter tours. Corporate comprises the centralised management and business administration services provided to the Group operations.

EBITDA is used by the Group to evaluate the performance of the business before the impact of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortisation, impairment, fair value gains or losses, and before the impact of financing and income tax expenses.

The Directors review the financial performance on an Underlying EBITDA basis, that is the reported result for each measure adjusted for the impact of significant items, being non-cash or one-off items. Underlying EBITDA is a non AAS measure that in the opinion of the Directors is relevant to reviewing the financial performance of the Group.

Intersegment transactions

Intersegment transactions are generally made on an arm’s length basis at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans

Intersegment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If intersegment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.

Segment assets and liabilities

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Corporate costs are primarily head office costs borne by the group that are not allocated to operating segments as they are deemed costs that cannot be accurately allocated. They include head office payroll costs, sales & marketing costs, travel expenses, acquisition costs and advisory fees.

During the period the Directors have reallocated what was previously disclosed as unallocated shared services costs in the 30 June 2018 financial statements to the relevant operating segment.

Significant items in the financial year ending 30 June 2019 of $7,918,000 comprised a number of one-off items, predominately non-cash in nature. The non-cash significant items totaled $6,413,000 and included:

  • Correction of deferred tax balances from prior year of $4,322,000

  • Acquisitions and consolidation adjustment relate to the reconciliation of balance sheet items and the result of 30 June 2019 reconciliation review of assets and liabilities.

  • Initial recognition of provision in relation to onerous operating leases

  • Asset write-downs largely relate to an assessment of capitalised development costs

  • Share-based payments – non-cash recognition of share options expense

One-off items totaling $1,507,000, being significant items that are non-recurring in nature related to the integration of acquisitions from the prior year and the management transition in the period.

EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (“AAS”). EBITDA represents the profit under AAS adjusted for interest, income taxes, impairment, depreciation and amortisation. The Directors consider EBITDA to reflect the operational earnings of the consolidated entity.

Underlying EBITDA is a financial measures not prescribed by AAS and represents EBITDA adjusted for significant items.

Note 13 Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

The Group's aircraft and helicopter assets were revalued at 30 June 2019. The aircraft and helicopter assets were valued by independent valuers depending on the age, type, and condition of the aircraft.

At the date of revaluation, the carrying amount of aircraft and helicopters is adjusted to the revalued amount. The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

Note 14 Intangible Assets (continued)

Impairment disclosures

Intangible assets, other than goodwill and trademarks, have finite useful lives. The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense per the statement of profit or loss. Goodwill and trademarks have an indefinite useful life.

Following the decline in financial performance in the financial year to 30 June 2019, management has recalculated the recoverable amount of each of the Group’s CGUs as at 30 June 2019. The recoverable amount of each of the Group’s CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculations.

The following key assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations for each cash generating unit.

Australia Skydive : five year projections based on management budgets with annual EBITDA growth rate from Year 2 to 5 of 4.0% (30 June 2018: 3.0%), terminal growth rate of 3.0% (30 June 2018: 3.0%) and a pre-tax discount rate of 15.4% (30 June 2018: 12.1%).

New Zealand Skydive : five year projections based on managements budgets with annual EBITDA growth rate from Year 2 to 5 of 4.0% (30 June 2018: 3.0%), terminal growth rate of 3.0% (30 June 2018: 3.0%) and a pre-tax discount rate of 16.6% (30 June 2018: 12.1%)

Adventure Experiences : five year projections based on managements budgets with annual EBITDA growth rate of 4.0% from Year 2 to 5 (30 June 2018: 3.0%), terminal growth rate of 3.0% (30 June 2018: 3.0%) and a pre-tax discount rate of 15.4% (30 June 2018: 12.1%).

The recoverable amount of the Australia Skydive and New Zealand Skydive CGUs were estimated to be higher than the carrying amount as at 30 June 2019 and accordingly no impairment was recognised.

The Adventure Experiences CGU recoverable amount was calculated to be significantly less than the carrying value and as a result an impairment of $52,570,000 of goodwill and other intangibles has been recognised.

The impairment is attributable to lower than anticipated benefits from integration and softer tourism trading conditions in the Tropical North Queensland region which has contributed to adverse impacts on projected cashflows. The Group notes that as at the date of the calculations it has commenced a strategic review of the Adventure Experiences segment that may lead to changes in the projected cash flows but as no formal plans had been implemented and/or sufficiently progressed any initiatives to improve future cash flows were not factored into the recoverable amount calculations.

The impairment charge recognised is non-cash in nature and has no impact on the Group’s compliance with banking facility covenants.

Sensitivities and significant estimates

The value-in-use calculation used in assessing the recoverable amount of the CGUs is subject to changes in assumptions which may result in additional impairment. Any future events that result in adverse changes in assumptions may result in impairment. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in key assumptions presented below is a summary of sensitivity changes to each of the CGUs and the corresponding potential impact that may arise in impairment beyond that recognised in the 30 June 2019 balances above.

In each case, all other assumptions have been held constant.

Australia Skydive

Key assumption Sensitivity Sensitivity impact Discount rate + 100 bps Recognition of impairment of $0.5 million Terminal growth -100 bps No impairment required New Zealand Skydive Key assumption Sensitivity Sensitivity impact Discount rate + 100 bps No impairment required Terminal growth -100 bps No impairment required

  • (b) Collateral provided

The Group entered into a Multi Option Facility Agreement with National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) in May 2017. The Multi Option Facility expires on 20 October 2020.

NAB has made available to the Group the following facilities:

  • $25,000,000 Cash Advance Facility (30 June 2018: $20,000,000)

  • $15,000,000 Master Asset Finance Facility (30 June 2018: $20,000,000)

  • $500,000 Bank Guarantee Facility

  • $3,000,000 Foreign Exchange & Commodity Hedging Facility

Existing NAB finance leases were transferred to the NAB Master Asset Finance Facility and existing finance leases with Westpac Banking Corporation remained in place.

As at 30 June 2019 $20,000,000 of the Cash Advance Facility had been utilised.

The Westpac Banking Corporation Finance leases are secured by a charge over the assets financed. The leases are for 1-5 year terms and are repayable on a monthly basis. Interest rates on these finance leases generally range from 4% to 9%.

To secure the facilities with NAB, the Group and NAB have entered into a General Security Deed for both the Australian and New Zealand operations. NAB holds a security interest in and over all the secured property that the Group, with the exception of the charge on the assets secured for the Westpac Banking Corporation Finance leases. The NAB Finance leases are for 1-5 year terms and are repayable on a monthly basis. Interest rates on these leases currently range from 4% to 8%. Interest on the Cash Advance Facility is payable quarterly and interest rates on this facility currently range from 3% to 4%.

With regards the NAB facilities, at the end of each December and June reporting period, the Group is required to calculate and submit to NAB a (i) Fixed Cover Charge Ratio and (ii) a Gross Senior Leverage Ratio. The ratios were lodged during the reporting period and the company is compliant with all these ratios.

(c) Financial assets that have been pledged as part of the total collateral for the benefit of bank debt are as follows:
