PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

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

REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATIONS

The operating profit after tax of the consolidated entity was $8,530,749 (HY20 loss after tax: $11,170,948) on revenue of $176,388,713 (HY20: $95,312,855). The EBITDA of the consolidated group was $14,196,136 (HY20 EBITDA loss: $15,353,657).

GR Engineering continued the momentum generated in the second half of FY20 and achieved strong revenue and earnings results for HY21. Revenue increased by 85.0% from HY20 and was due to GR Engineering successfully executing its growing pipeline of projects and as a result of the strong performance by its wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd (Upstream PS).

Pleasingly, cash generation was excellent and resulted in a high conversion of EBITDA to free cashflows. During the twelve month period from 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2020, cash at bank increased by $32.1 million.

GR Engineering's strong order book into FY22 and anticipated continued strong cash flow generation leaves it well placed to continue to deliver returns to its shareholders.

GR Engineering continues to be proactive in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has implemented a range of protective and preventative measures. COVID-19 has had no material impact on the HY21 results.

On an extremely sad note, GR Engineering announced the passing of one of its founding Directors, Barry Patterson, on 9 December 2020. Barry co-founded GR Engineering and was instrumental in establishing the core team of individuals in 1986 that took the business from its roots as JR Engineering Services, a Kalgoorlie based contractor, to the process design and construction group that we are today. Vale Barry Patterson.

Mineral Processing Design and Construction

New and ongoing projects

GR Engineering’s design and construction order book for works being undertaken includes:

  • Lake Way Project - $107.9 million EPC and EPCM contracts - GR Engineering has been engaged by Salt Lake Potash Limited to provide services for non-process engineering design and the management of procurement, construction and commissioning of the Lake Way Project processing facility and associated infrastructure. GR Engineering has separately been engaged to undertake the civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and piping construction works for those project areas. Based on Salt Lake Potash Limited's anticipated project timing, the majority of this revenue is likely to be realised in FY21.

Oil and Gas Services

GR Engineering’s oil and gas services business, Upstream PS achieved sustained revenue contributions primarily through a combination of operations, maintenance and brownfields projects servicing the coal seam gas services (CSG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), carbon sequestration and onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors throughout Australia.

In Western Australia, Upstream PS remains a leading provider of operations and maintenance services to clients in the Perth Basin, and expanded its presence offshore in the Browse Basin providing operations services to the floating liquefied natural gas sector. In the Northern Territory, Upstream PS continued to provide maintenance services on the Blacktip gas field production facilities (onshore and offshore). Upstream PS' 'Darwin Hub' also continues to operate as a maintenance service and supply base facility servicing tier 1 clients.

During HY20, Upstream PS continued working with the Australian Government to maintain the Northern Endeavour FPSO in a nonproducing state. On 23 December 2020, Upstream PS executed a twelve month contract to 31 December 2021 with the Australian Government to provide operations, maintenance and project services to the Northern Endeavour FPSO and associated infrastructure in preparation for a disconnection and removal of the FPSO. The contract value is approximately $130 million.

In Queensland, Upstream PS managed and executed maintenance and operations support services on over 5,000 CSG wells. In Victoria, Upstream PS continued to deliver services to the carbon sequestration and domestic gas production industries, providing commissioning, operations and maintenance support services and pipeline and surface facility construction.

Safety

The GR Engineering group’s Total Reportable Injury Frequency rate for HY20 was 11.4. Regrettably, one LTI occurred on 19 December 2020. The Company pursues continuous improvement in its commitment to safety, with its primary objective being the achievement of a zero harm workplace environment on all jobs and at all locations.

GR Engineering Services Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of GR Engineering Services Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration as set out on pages 7 to 17.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with 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 annual 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 review report.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Half-year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
