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 oil and gas sector.

REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATIONS

The EBITDA of the consolidated entity was $20.6 million (HY22: $24.3 million) on revenue of $331.9 million (HY22: $302.3 million).

During HY23, GR Engineering successfully achieved practical completion on several key projects, including the Thunderbox 6 Mtpa Expansion Project, Abra Base Metals Project and the Norseman Gold Project. In addition, GR Engineering continues to safely execute its ongoing contracted pipeline of work.

The HY23 EBITDA results were impacted by the following factors:

  • GR Engineering did not achieve its forecast profitability targets on its Tasmanian projects due to higher labour costs, high turnover of site based personnel and the higher inflationary environment. These projects are now substantially complete.

  • Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd's (Upstream PS) Northern Endeavour FPSO project was completed on 30 September 2022. In addition, during HY23, Upstream PS recognised one-off restructuring costs of $0.8 million.

GR Engineering continues to build its contracted and near term prospective pipeline of work across a diverse commodity base and also increase its revenue and earnings visibility for FY23 and future years. GR Engineering maintains its revenue guidance forecast of $500 million to $530 million. The EBITDA margin % is expected to return to historical levels in the second half of FY23.

Mineral Processing Design and Construction

New and ongoing projects

GR Engineering’s design and construction order book of current work includes:

  • Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project - $179.5 million EPC Contract with Kimberley Mineral Sands Pty Ltd (KMS) in relation to the engineering, procurement and construction of the mineral processing plant and associated facilities for the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project. In March 2022, GR Engineering commenced limited work under the contract ahead of a final investment decision being made by KMS. In October 2022, KMS finalised its funding and issued GR Engineering with a Full Notice to Proceed.

  • West Musgrave Project - GR Engineering is assisting OZ Minerals Limited (OZ Minerals) with engineering and design works for the West Musgrave Project located in Western Australia, as well as supporting long lead procurement activities. Contract discussions are ongoing.

In addition, a contract was also awarded that includes the design, supply and installation of new transformers and HV switchgear for Renison's existing main switchyard.

In addition to the above ongoing projects, GR Engineering maintains a solid pipeline of near term work opportunities across a broad range of commodities.

Mipac is forecasting a record revenue result for FY23 based on its year to date results and strong pipeline of work. The business continues to operate at a high utilisation.

- Oil, Gas, Energy and Water Services Upstream PS

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

The consolidated entity holds equity securities of $1,634,137 (30 June 2022: $742,041) which are classified as fair value hierarchy level 1, in which fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets. There have been no transfers of fair value hierarchy levels during the period.

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.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of GR Engineering Services Limited

Tel: +61 8 9365 7000 Fax: +61 8 9365 7001 www.deloitte.com.au

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 2022 , 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:

  • Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of 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.

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 2022 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. Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte organisation.

==> picture [92 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

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.
