Phillip (Phil) LOCKYER (Non-Executive Chairman) Tony Marco PATRIZI (Managing Director) Peter John HOOD (Non-Executive Director) Giuseppe (Joe) TOTARO (Non-Executive Director) Deborah (Deb) MORROW (Non-Executive Director) (appointed on 18 April 2024)

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER & COMPANY SECRETARY

Omesh MOTIWALLA

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the financial period, the consolidated entity’s activities have been the provision of high quality process engineering, detailed engineering design, process control and automation design and construction services to the mining and mineral processing industry and the provision of operations, maintenance and advisory services to the energy sector.

DIVIDENDS PAID DURING THE YEAR

  • Fully franked dividend of 10.0 cents per share paid on 22 September 2023.

  • Fully franked dividend of 9.0 cents per share paid on 25 March 2024.

  • Subsequent to 30 June 2024, a fully franked dividend of 10.0 cents per share was recommended by the Directors to be paid on 20 September 2024.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the year under review, the consolidated entity achieved revenue of $424.1 million (FY23: $551.4 million) and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $50.9 million (FY23: $44.4 million).

GR Engineering successfully delivered multiple major projects, including the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project, Bellevue Gold Project and the Cosmos Nickel Concentrator Facility Upgrade. Work is continuing on the Mungari Future Growth Project, Kainantu Gold Project and Kathleen Valley Lithium Backfill Project.

GR Engineering's key subsidiaries, GR Production Services (GRPS) (formerly known as Upstream Production Solutions) and Mipac, achieved higher revenue and EBITDA results for FY24 compared to the prior year and provided solid contributions to the overall group's performance. Both businesses are forecasting growth in FY25.

The consolidated group was able to achieve an improved EBITDA result from a lower revenue base compared to FY23. This was the result of solid operational performance across the group. Revenue was lower in FY24 as a result of delays in expected contract awards. Revenue visibility remains strong based on the contracted and near term pipeline of work, ongoing early contractor involvement work and the high level of study work across a broad range of commodities.

GRPS is actively providing operational advisory services on several Australian green hydrogen projects. GRPS continued as the regulated operator for Vintage Energy’s Vali assets in the Cooper Basin.

In the Northern Territory, GRPS continued to provide maintenance services on the Blacktip gas field production facilities (onshore and offshore). On 14 November 2023, GRPS was awarded a three year contract with two three year extension options with INPEX Operations Australia (INPEX) for the provision of operations and maintenance support services to the Ichthys LNG upstream and downstream facilities. The scope of work involves providing production and technical roles to INPEX as required to supplement their business and support for maintenance shutdown planning and execution on all facilities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

LONG TERM INCENTIVES

Equity Incentive Plan

The GR Engineering Services Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on 28 September 2022. In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), shareholder approval of the Plan was obtained at the consolidated entity’s Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2022. Under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the issue of securities under the Plan to directors will be subject to separate shareholder approval. Eligible participants in the Plan include those defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (CO) or as determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity to receive an equity interest in the consolidated entity and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future consolidated entity performance over the medium to long term.

This is achieved by awarding both or either:

  • Performance Rights (PR), with each PR being a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share of the consolidated entity and vesting upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions; and

  • Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), being rights to receive a future payment in shares, based on the amount of increase in market value of one share in the consolidated entity in a specified period between the grant of the SAR and exercise of that SAR.

Securities issued under the Plan will be subject to vesting criteria as determined by the Board and have a term of 3 years (or such term as otherwise agreed by the Board).

During the year ended 30 June 2024, a total of 2,756,775 Performance Rights were issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. A total of 5,476,775 Performance Rights were on issue as at 30 June 2024.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure
in Financial Statements
1 January 2027 30 June 2028

Management are currently undertaking an assessment of the impact of recently issued or amended standards and interpretations on the consolidated entity.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated entity is a for-profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the consolidated entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

Basis of preparation

Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the consolidated entity and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the consolidated entity and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the consolidated entity:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The consolidated entity reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the consolidated entity has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The consolidated entity considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the consolidated entity's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the consolidated entity's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the consolidated entity, other vote holders or other parties;

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the consolidated entity has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the consolidated entity obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the consolidated entity loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the consolidated entity gains control until the date when the consolidated entity ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the consolidated entity and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the consolidated entity and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the consolidated entity's accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the consolidated entity are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director of the consolidated entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is GR Engineering Services Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (UK) Limited is Great British pounds. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (Greece) is Euro. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services Turkey is Turkish Lira. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (Papua New Guinea) is Papua New Guinea Kina. The functional currency of other foreign subsidiaries of the consolidated entity is United States dollars.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised for the two segments: Mineral Processing and Oil & Gas.

Mineral Processing

The Mineral Processing segment includes Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracts and Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM) Contracts.

In these contracts, the consolidated entity provides services comprising design and construction of minerals processing facilities and associated infrastructure for complete greenfields or brownfields projects including plant modifications, upgrades and expansions, plant evaluation and condition reports, plant operations and maintenance support and optimisation, plant relocation, refurbishment and recommissioning, and provision of owners representatives and teams for project management and delivery. Project management services also include project studies (concept through to bankable feasibility), engineering and procurement, construction and commissioning, asset management plans and system development, operations and technical support (audits, reviews and consulting), and infrastructure development.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

EPC and EPCM contracts generally contain a single performance obligation because the activities are highly integrated with each other to represent the combined output for which the customer has contracted, and therefore are not distinct from one another. Additionally, whilst some of the services could be provided to the customer individually, this is not the business practice as customers engage the consolidated entity to provide a start to end service.

The consolidated entity enters into fixed sum contracts or guaranteed maximum price contracts. In some cases, variable consideration is present in the contract in the form of, for example, bonus payments or penalties based on performance, or variations. Where variable consideration is present in a contract, the constraint of estimates of variable consideration is applied as necessary by assessing the historical performance of the consolidated entity on similar contracts and consideration of factors that are outside the consolidated entity’s influence. Revenue for EPC and EPCM contracts is recognised over time because the performance creates and enhances an asset controlled by the customer as the work is performed. The asset is specific to the customer as it cannot be sold elsewhere or have another use, and the consolidated entity is entitled to payment for work performed. In recognising revenue over time, the consolidated entity measures the satisfaction of progress using cost as an input as cost faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer.

In addition to the above, the consolidated entity enters into contracts for the sale of assets, where revenue is recognised over time because the performance creates and enhances an asset controlled by the customer, as the work is performed. The asset is specific to the customer, as it cannot be sold elsewhere or have an alternative use, and the consolidated entity is entitled to payment for work performed. In recognising revenue over time, the consolidated entity measures the satisfaction of progress using cost as an input, as cost faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer.

Oil & Gas

Oil and Gas contracts comprise the delivery of operations and maintenance, wellsites, engineering and production assurance services to the customer base. Under these contracts, the services provided is the provision of labour as well as the procurement of equipment for the customer on an as needs basis. These arrangements can be long or short term and are generally structured as an overarching master agreement, with individual work orders made by the customer. Each work order will specify the services to be performed. The combination of the master agreement and each work order forms the contract.

Each work order is deemed to be a contract and each work order is generally considered to be one performance obligation. These contracts do not have a fixed fee and the customer is charged based on the number of labour hours incurred, multiplied by agreed rates contained in the master agreement. Equipment may also be provided to customers which is charged on a recoverable basis as and when the equipment is procured and provided to the customer.

Revenue for contracts in this segment is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services being provided as they are performed. The consolidated entity will bill the client on a monthly basis based on hours incurred multiplied by the agreed rates or on a cost plus basis. This will also include any recoverable expenditure incurred for equipment provided in respect of that period. Therefore, the consolidated entity has a right to consideration from its customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the consolidated entity’s performance completed to date and hence the consolidated entity has decided to adopt the practical expedient of recognising revenue on a billings basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Tender costs

Tender costs are expensed as they are not incremental costs to obtaining the contract.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Contract fulfilment costs

Significant costs incurred prior to the commencement of a contract may arise for example due to mobilisation and site setup costs. These activities are costs incurred to fulfil a contract. Where these costs are expected to be recovered, they are capitalised and amortised over the course of the contract consistent with the transfer of a service to the customer. Where the costs, or a portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, the amount received is recognised as deferred revenue and allocated to the performance obligations within the contract and recognised as revenue over the course of the contract.

Income tax

GR Engineering Services Limited and its wholly owned Australian resident entities formed a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is GR Engineering Services Limited.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The consolidated entity’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Despite the foregoing, the consolidated entity may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:

  • the consolidated entity may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if certain criteria are met; and

  • the consolidated entity may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method

Interest income on financial assets carried at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item (note 6).

(ii) Equity instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) On initial recognition, the consolidated entity may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument ‑ by ‑ instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.

A financial asset is held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the consolidated entity ‑ ‑

  • manages together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short term profit taking; or

  • it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

The consolidated entity has designated all investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading as at FVTOCI on initial application of AASB 9 (see note 13).

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

  • Property, plant and equipment - over 2.5 to 20 years

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Leases

The lease liabilities are presented in borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The consolidated entity applies the short-term lease recognition exemption (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered low value (i.e. below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding goodwill

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication at the end of a reporting period that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease and to the extent that the impairment loss is greater than the related revaluation surplus, the excess impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the consolidated entity, liabilities incurred by the consolidated entity to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the consolidated entity in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively.

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the consolidated entity in a business combination includes a deferred consideration arrangement, the deferred consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the deferred consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the deferred consideration is classified. Deferred consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Other deferred consideration is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the consolidated entity reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially recognised and measured as set out above.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the consolidated entity’s cash-generating units (or consolidated entity of cash- generating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are recognised initially at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Revenue recognition, contract assets and liabilities

Where the outcome of a mineral processing contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is highly probable will be recoverable.

A provision is made for the difference between the expected cost of fulfilling a contract and the expected unearned portion of the transaction price where the forecast costs are greater than the forecast revenue. The provision is recognised in full in the period in which loss-making contracts are identified under AASB 137.

Warranties

Because the consolidated entity predominantly undertakes projects on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction turnkey design and construction contract basis, all the risk associated with cost, time, plant performance and plant warranty (defects period) rests with the consolidated entity. As such the consolidated entity is responsible for the total “make-good” of any defects of underperformance.

The consolidated entity includes a project completion and close out provision (liability) in design and construction project cost forecast reports of 3% of the project costs, or such other amount as assessed by management having regard to specific project requirements.

Lease term

Management has exercised their judgement in the determination of the lease term. Management have considered extension options under their lease agreements and if it is reasonably certain that these options will be exercised, an extended lease term will be assumed.

Note 4. Operating segments

Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports of the consolidated entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Managing Director. On a regular basis, the board receives financial information on a company basis similar to the financial statements presented in the financial report, to manage and allocate their resources.

The Managing Director has chosen to classify the operations of the consolidated entity by reference to presence in an industry. The segments identified on this basis are "mineral processing" and "oil and gas".

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 to 90 day terms.

Contract assets are balances owing from customer contracts. For mineral processing contracts this arises if the revenue recognised exceeds the milestone payments. For information on contracts in progress, refer to note 18.

The loss allowance recognised for contract assets is immaterial. The consolidated entity measures the loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 120 days past due because historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable. In certain circumstances, arrangements are agreed to with customers for commercial reasons, which would extend this time period. Expected losses on assets aged under 120 days are immaterial. An allowance for expected credit losses requires significant judgement and estimation on behalf of the directors and management, as described in note 3.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the consolidated entity used the expected credit loss model as per AASB 9. The expected credit loss model requires the consolidated entity to account for expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit default to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

Net increase in loss allowance arising from new amounts recognised is $751,297 (2023: $94,332).

The ageing of the contract assets and trade receivables are as follows:

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the consolidated entity considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period.

The loan receivable relates to a contract which has been successfully delivered with an entity currently under voluntary administration. The entity has made monthly payments to the consolidated entity in accordance with the applicable payment schedule in the contract which carries a fixed interest rate of 9% per annum and their administrators have confirmed that they will continue to pay the contracted monthly payments to the consolidated entity. Given the deferred nature of the progress claims under the contract, at the time of entering the contract, the consolidated entity sought and obtained first ranking security over the plant, equipment and design documentation.

Shares and options in listed entities are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, using quoted market share prices. Refer to note 23 for movement during the year.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the directors of the consolidated entity have elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income as they believe that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the consolidated entity’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes and realising their performance potential in the long run.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 14. Intangible assets (continued)

Intangible customer assets were acquired by the consolidated entity in relation to the existing contracts and relationships from its acquisition of its subsidiaries, GR Engineering Services Inc. (formerly known as Hanlon Engineering and Associates Inc.), Mipac Holdings Pty Ltd and Paradigm Engineers Pty Ltd. These intangible customer assets are amortised over a period of 7 to 15 years. Intangible intellectual property assets were acquired in the transaction with Mipac Holdings Pty Ltd, relating to software products. These intellectual property assets will be amortised over a period of 15 years.

The consolidated entity tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.

Value in Use Assumptions and Key Estimates

Sales and Earnings Growth

The five year cash flow estimates used in the goodwill impairment assessment was based on the Board approved budgets for the year ending 30 June 2024. The business has assumed a nominal growth assumption of 2% per annum.

Discount Rate

A discount rate of 10% (FY23: 10%) which includes a risk margin was applied to the cashflows for the purposes of goodwill impairment assessment.

Sensitivity Analysis

The business simulated scenarios to sensitise future cash flows including the net future cash flow impacts of a delay in contract awards. In this scenario, there is still significant headroom in the value in use model. There is no reasonably possible change in the assumptions that would lead to an impairment.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of GR Engineering Services Inc., Mipac Holdings Pty Ltd and Paradigm Engineers Pty Ltd has been allocated to the mineral processing segment and is monitored at that level. The directors have performed an annual impairment test with recoverable amount of the cash generating unit being determined based on a value in use calculation. No indicators of impairment were noted and no impairment required.

Equity price risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure of the consolidated entity to a 5% increase or decrease in equity prices at the end of the reporting period.

  • other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2024 would increase by $72,415 (2023: $114,408) as a result of an increase of 5% in equity prices, and decrease by $72,415 (2023: $114,408) as a result of a decrease of 5% in equity prices.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The consolidated entity uses independent rating agencies, publicly available financial information and other trading records to rate its major customers. Legally binding contracts are entered into to determine payment terms in relation to major projects.

The consolidated entity does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the consolidated entity’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Note 23. Financial instruments (continued)

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity are classified into these categories below:

Note 31. Share-based payments

An Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the consolidated entity on 28 March 2012, and was updated on 28 September 2022. At the discretion of the Board, all eligible employees of the consolidated entity or eligible consultants may participate in the Plan. Non-executive directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity to receive an equity interest in the consolidated entity and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future consolidated entity performance over the medium to long term.

The consolidated entity has issued a total of 12,757,275 performance rights to employees and long term contractors under the Plan. Each right entitles the employee to acquire one fully paid share in the consolidated entity for nil consideration, subject to the employees meeting a service term of three years from the date of grant. During the financial year ending 30 June 2024 2,865,775 performance rights were issued under the Plan (2023: 2,530,000).

During the financial year 3,388,000 performance rights vested (2023: 50,000). A total of 3,389,945 performance rights have lapsed due to resignations of entitled employees and employees who have received cash in lieu of shares since the date of issue of the first tranche of rights. Of this total 796,000 have lapsed in the financial year ending 30 June 2024 (2023: 455,000).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Approach to Corporate Governance

GR Engineering Services Ltd ABN 12 121 542 738 ( Company ) has established a corporate governance framework, the key features of which are set out in this statement. In establishing its corporate governance framework, the Company has referred to the recommendations set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 4th Edition ( Principles & Recommendations ).

Where the Company's corporate governance practices follow a recommendation, the Board has made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of the recommendation. In compliance with the "if not, why not" reporting regime, where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices do not follow a recommendation, the Board has explained its reasons for not following the recommendation and disclosed what, if any, alternative practices the Company has adopted instead of those in the recommendation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Recommendation 1.1

The Company has established the respective roles and responsibilities of its Board and management, and those matters expressly reserved to the Board and those delegated to management and has documented this in its Board Charter .

Recommendation 1.2

The Company undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person or putting forward to shareholders a candidate for election as a director and provides shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director.

The checks which are undertaken, and the information provided to shareholders are set out in the Company’s Policy and Procedure for the Selection and (Re) Appointment of Directors .

Recommendation 1.3

The Company has a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. The material terms of any employment, service or consultancy agreement the Company, or any of its child entities, has entered into with its Managing Director, any of its directors, and any other person or entity who is related party of the Managing Director or any of its directors has been disclosed in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.16.4 (taking into consideration the exclusions from disclosure outlined in that rule).

Recommendation 1.4

The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board as outlined in the Company’s Board Charter.

Recommendation 1.5

The Company has a Diversity Policy, which includes requirements for the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the Company’s progress in achieving them. The Company’s Diversity Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website in the Corporate Governance Manual.

The following measurable objective for achieving gender diversity has been set by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in accordance with the Diversity Policy:

“Subject to the identification of suitable qualified candidates, to increase the percentage of professional and senior executive positions occupied by women to 20% by 30 June 2025.”

The Board continues to work towards meeting this objective and continues to foster a workplace environment and recruitment policies designed to achieve greater female participation in the Company’s workforce.

The respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organisation are set out in the following table. “Senior executive” for these purposes means a person who is a Key Management Employee, a General Manager or a member of Management:

Proportion of women
Whole organisation 123 out of 991(12.4%) (11.4% as at 30 June 2023)
Senior executivepositions 10 out of 41(24.4%) (17.2% as at 30 June 2023)
Board 1 out of 5(20%) (0% as at 30 June 2023)

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

==> picture [179 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 1.6

The Chair is responsible for evaluation of the Board and, when deemed appropriate, Board committees and individual directors. The Chair is also responsible for evaluating the Managing Director.

The Chair evaluates the performance of the Managing Director and other Board members through a series of discussions held throughout the year. These discussions include an assessment of the Company’s state of affairs, the risks facing the Company and its economic objectives. The Chair evaluates the extent to which each director has contributed to the efficient utilisation of resources, the identification of risk and the achievement of economic objectives. During these discussions the Chair also elicits confidential feedback from each Director on their view of the interpersonal dynamics between Board members and the quality of the Board’s decision making.

During the Reporting Period the Chair evaluated the performance of all Directors, including the Managing Director, in accordance with the above process.

Recommendation 1.7

The Managing Director is responsible for evaluating the performance of senior executives in accordance with the process disclosed in the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluations .

During the Reporting Period the Managing Director conducted performance evaluations of Senior Executives. Where these evaluations resulted in the identification of areas where the Senior Executive’s technical or interpersonal skills could be strengthened, appropriate training or remedial action was formulated and agreed.

Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value

Recommendation 2.1

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprising Peter Hood (Chair), Phillip Lockyer, Joe Totaro and Deb Morrow. All members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are nonexecutive directors and all members are independent directors. Accordingly, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is structured in accordance with Recommendation 2.1.

The Board has adopted a Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Recommendation 2.2

The Board includes 3 qualified engineers, 1 qualified accountant and 1 director with a strong track record in sustainability and safety. The matrix of skills held by the Board is weighted towards those skills which are required to identify, assess, quantify and manage those risks which are most relevant to and prevalent in the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates.

The majority of the Company’s directors hold, or have held, positions on the boards of other publicly listed companies and all have extensive experience in the management of organisations across a range of industries.

When necessary, the Board engages the services of external experts and consultants to augment its capacity to consider and assess matters which fall outside the domain of its collective expertise.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

==> picture [179 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 2.3

The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations. The independent directors of the Company are Phil Lockyer, Peter Hood, Joe Totaro and Deb Morrow.

Joe Totaro is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding that he is a substantial shareholder the Board considers Joe Totaro to be an independent director because he is not a member of management and is otherwise free of any interest, position, association or relationship (including those listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations) that might influence in a material respect, his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its members generally. Further, a substantial shareholder is considered by the Board to be in line with the interests of all other shareholders.

The length of service of each director is set out in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s Annual Financial Report.

Recommendation 2.4

The Board has a majority of directors who are independent.

The Board is comprised of 5 directors, 4 of whom are or are deemed to be independent. The one non-independent director is Tony Patrizi. Tony Patrizi is a founding shareholder of the Company. Tony Patrizi has a thorough knowledge of the Company’s business and extensive experience in managing the risks it faces. His continued presence on the Board is therefore highly valued.

The Board is of a size commensurate with the size and nature of the Company.

Recommendation 2.5

The Chair of the Board is Phillip Lockyer. Phil Lockyer is an independent director and is not the Chief Executive Officer.

Recommendation 2.6

The Company has an induction program for new directors and senior executives. The goal of the program is to assist new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity and to assist senior executives to participate fully and actively in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity. The Company’s Induction Program is disclosed on the Company’s website.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee regularly reviews whether the directors as a group have the skills, knowledge and familiarity with the Company and its operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and the Board committees effectively using a Board skills matrix. Where any gaps are identified, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers what training or development should be undertaken to fill those gaps. In particular, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee ensures that any director who does not have specialist accounting skills or knowledge has a sufficient understanding of accounting matters to fulfil his or her responsibilities in relation to the Company’s financial statements. Directors also receive ongoing briefings from the Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer on developments in accounting standards.

The Company ensures that all substantive resolutions at a meeting of security holders are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands.

Recommendation 6.5

Shareholders are given the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the Company and its share registry electronically. This is facilitated through the Company’s website which provides access to the Company’s and its share registry’s full range of contact details, including email address.

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk

Recommendation 7.1

As noted above, the Board has established a combined Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee is structured in accordance with Recommendation 7.1. Please refer to the disclosure above in relation to Recommendation 4.1 in relation to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Recommendation 7.2

The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Company’s risk management framework annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound, to determine whether there have been any changes in the material business risks the Company faces and to ensure that the Company is operating within the risk appetite set by the Board.

Recommendation 7.3

The Company does not have an internal audit function. To evaluate and continually improve the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and internal control processes, the Board relies on ongoing reporting and discussion of the management of material business risks as outlined in the Company’s Risk Management Policy .

Recommendation 7.4

The Company provides engineering and construction services to the mining industry and operations and maintenance services to the oil and gas industry, including producers of coal seam gas. These activities expose the Company, directly and indirectly to environmental, social and economic sustainability risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for shareholders over the short, medium or long term.

In relation to the provision of goods and services, these risks are mitigated by virtue of the Company entering a project’s life cycle at a stage where all environmental, social and economic requirements of the relevant jurisdiction have been met by the client. The Company does not provide goods and services in circumstances where this is not the case and to that extent, the Company is in a position to continue its business activities in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Recommendation 8.1

As noted above in relation to Recommendation 2.1, the Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is structured in compliance with Recommendation 8.1. Please refer to the disclosure above in relation to Recommendation 2.1 in relation to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Recommendation 8.2

Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms of part of the Directors’ Report in the Company’s Annual Financial Report.

Under the terms of the GR Engineering Services Limited Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ), if in the opinion of the Board a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or wilfully breaches his or her duties to the Company, the Board may in its absolute discretion determine that all unvested or unexercised performance rights or share appreciation rights held by the participant will lapse.
