Income statement

Statutory result recognises IPO costs and higher interest costs in FY21

==> picture [83 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

Revenue

  • Statutory Group revenue for FY21 was $257.8m up $49.2m (23.6%) on the prior corresponding period (pcp) of $208.6m.

  • Pro forma Revenue of $254.0m ahead of prospectus forecast of $241.6m.

  • Significant improvement in crushing and screening revenue with two FMG fixed plants fully operational during FY21

  • Growth in civil construction revenue

  • Client volumes higher than FY20 – not experiencing same impact from COVID-19

Profitability

  • Statutory Net after tax profit increased to $12.5m ahead of $5.7m in FY2020. Statutory NPAT included the full costs associated with the initial public offering.

  • Pro forma EBITDA of $42.7m ahead of prospectus forecast of $41.0m.

  • Higher depreciation reflects impairment adjustment against the construction costs of the two crushing plants following the cessation of operation

Revenue by service offering

==> picture [275 x 224] intentionally omitted <==

  • Higher cost of sales reflects higher utilisation of subcontractor and labour hire services and the impact of higher labour rates

  • Pro forma results are presented to be consistent with the prospectus financial information and therefore exclude the costs associated with the initial public offering (IPO).

Cashflow and Capital expenditure Continued strong cash flow conversion and higher capex ahead of new contract start-ups in FY22

==> picture [83 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

  • Higher FY21 capex includes investment in equipment for new projects at Jundee, and Paddington commencing in FY22

  • Cash conversion rate lower due to a large outstanding debtor at 30 June 2021 (Debt has now been received)
