OVERVIEW

ABOUT MONADELPHOUS

==> picture [596 x 543] intentionally omitted <==

Monadelphous is an Australian engineering group headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, providing construction, maintenance and industrial services to the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors.

The Company builds, maintains and improves customer operations through safe, reliable, innovative and cost effective service solutions. It aims to be recognised as a leader in its chosen markets and a truly great company to work for, work with and invest in.

OUR OPERATIONS

Monadelphous has two operating divisions working predominately in Australia, with overseas operations in New Zealand, China, Papua New Guinea, Mongolia and the United States.

OUR HISTORY

Engineering Construction

Monadelphous emerged from a business which started in 1972 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, providing general mechanical contracting services to the mining industry.

The Engineering Construction division provides large-scale multidisciplinary project management and construction services. These include fabrication, modularisation, offsite pre-assembly, procurement and installation of structural steel, tankage, mechanical and process equipment, piping, plant commissioning, demolition, water and wastewater asset construction and maintenance, irrigation services, heavy lift and specialist transport, remediation works and electrical and instrumentation services. The division’s core markets are resources, energy and infrastructure.

The name Monadelphous was adopted in 1978 and by the mid-1980s the Company had expanded into a number of markets, both interstate and overseas, and its shares were traded on the second board of the Australian Stock Exchange.

In the late 1980s, a major restructure of the Company took place with the business refocused on maintenance and construction services in the resources industry. Monadelphous’ shares were relisted on the main board of the stock exchange during the 1990 financial year and the Company established the foundation for sustained growth with a new management team.

Maintenance and Industrial Services

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division specialises in the planning, management and execution of mechanical and electrical maintenance services, front-end scoping, shutdowns, fixed plant maintenance services, access solutions, mine dewatering services and sustaining capital works. The division’s core markets are resources and energy.

The Company has continued to diversify and extend its reputation as a supplier of multidisciplinary construction, maintenance and industrial services to many of the biggest companies in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors.

The division provides an important source of recurring revenue through its long-term contracts with major customers.

Monadelphous’ shares are included in the S&P/ASX 200 index.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

In spite of challenging operating conditions, the Company made solid progress on its market growth and diversification strategy, ending the year in a strong financial position.

During the year, Monadelphous successfully capitalised on a number of opportunities in core markets and progressed its strategy to expand into infrastructure and extend core services to overseas markets. More than $800 million of new contracts awarded during the year were in oil and gas, highlighting the success of the Company’s long-term strategy to position itself as a leading construction and maintenance provider to the energy sector.

It is with pleasure that I present the 2016 Monadelphous Group Limited Annual Report. The Company performed well during the period despite a challenging operating environment.

Sales revenue for the year was $1.36 billion, down 26.8 per cent on the previous corresponding period, as demand for engineering construction work continued to decline. Customers in the resources and energy sectors continued to reduce capital expenditure and minimise operating costs.

Industrial services were extended to include a number of alternative access solutions and services associated with mine pit dewatering, tailings and slurry transfer. The Maintenance and Industrial Services division also strengthened its position in the upstream coal seam gas market, securing panel service contracts for sustaining capital works.

Net profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the parent (NPAT) was $67 million. Margins remained under pressure with falling construction activity, a surplus capacity of service providers and a continued focus by customers on cost savings. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was $113.6 million.

In newer markets, the award of an additional irrigation contract during the year reinforces our infrastructure service expansion, and continues to provide additional opportunities, particularly in the growing New Zealand market. Infrastructure services is a key growth area for Monadelphous, driven by geographic and service expansion opportunities in our existing water infrastructure business and diversification into new sectors within the infrastructure sector.

Earnings per share (EPS) was 71.8 cents. The Board of Directors is pleased to announce a final dividend of 32 cents per share fully franked. This takes the full-year dividend to 60 cents per share fully franked. The Monadelphous Group Limited Dividend Reinvestment Plan will apply to the final dividend.

The Company’s balance sheet remained strong with a net cash position of $186 million at 30 June, and cash flow from operations of $78 million for the year.

The Company reached another milestone with the establishment of Zenviron, a joint venture with renewable energy specialist ZEM Energy. Zenviron will provide engineering, procurement and construction services to the renewable energy sector in Australia and New Zealand.

Monadelphous achieved another record safety performance, reinforcing its reputation as an industry leader in health and safety management.

Overseas, Monadelphous finalised a partnership agreement with Mascaro Construction, a Pittsburgh-based civil contractor, to establish Monaro LLC, in the United States (US). The joint venture company opened an office in January 2016 and was recently awarded its first contract. Whilst activity in the US energy sector has declined due to low commodity prices,

The total workforce decreased to 4,438, with a noticeable shift in employment numbers from construction to maintenance. Monadelphous’ commitment to Indigenous engagement continued. A number of successful outcomes were achieved in the period, including improved retention rates and a stronger emphasis on Indigenous subcontracting and supply chain involvement.

==> picture [150 x 150] intentionally omitted <==

Monaro is well-positioned to pursue future opportunities in its target market.

Monadelphous remains committed to advancing its markets and growth strategy and diversification of revenue sources. This will be achieved by leveraging its multidisciplinary services and capabilities, broadening the range of industrial services provided to customers and entering new markets both domestically and overseas.

In this challenging environment, the Company remains focused on productivity and initiatives to protect margins and improve sustainability.

Importantly, a strong balance sheet provides Monadelphous with substantial capacity to pursue investment opportunities to advance its long-term market growth strategy.

On behalf of the Board, I thank all stakeholders for their loyalty and support, and particularly our dedicated team of people for their commitment and contributions during the year.

John Rubino Chairman

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Monadelphous’ strong track record, diverse capability and broad market coverage has enabled it to successfully capitalise on a number of strategic opportunities during the year.

New contracts and contract extensions valued at approximately $1.1 billion were secured during the year across a broad range of industries, building upon our longterm relationships with key customers in our core markets.

Group revenues were impacted by the decline in engineering construction activity, project delays and a significantly reduced pipeline of new major project work. Moderate increases in maintenance service activity levels were offset by reduced pricing in a highly competitive environment.

Major contracts secured included a longterm maintenance and modification services contract associated with Shell Australia’s Prelude Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Project, a new three-year facilities maintenance services contract associated with the Barrow Island assets operated by Chevron Australia, and a new contract in joint venture with Giovenco Industries for services on the Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant Life Extension Program. The contract with Shell Australia is of significant strategic importance to Monadelphous and positions the Company as a major service provider of FLNG services.

Key initiatives implemented during the year included the consolidation and centralisation of a number of service and support functions, alignment of the business structure to current market conditions, subleasing of surplus premises, negotiation of improved supply arrangements, disposal of excess plant and equipment and improvements to project management methodologies and innovative project delivery practices.

During the year a review was also undertaken of the Company’s organisational structure to ensure alignment with strategy and better position Monadelphous to deliver its strategic vision for growth and diversification. An evaluation of the Company’s support structure also commenced with the aim of improving the efficiency in delivery of business and project services and supporting a more global business.

A 22 per cent improvement in the record total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) to 2.45 incidents per million man-hours worked was achieved during the period. The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) was steady at 0.09 incidents per million man-hours worked, with only one incident recorded in the 12 months. Our emphasis on supervisor safety leadership, culture and behaviour remained a priority and underpins the Company’s continuous improvement in this area.

There was a slight decrease in the Company’s total workforce at 30 June 2016, reflecting increased numbers of employees in Maintenance and Industrial Services, offset by reductions within our construction workforce.

Monadelphous continued to face the challenges posed by ongoing weak market conditions in the resources and energy sectors. Investment in resources and oil and gas in Australia declined as customers reduced capital expenditure and focused on minimising operating costs and improving the functional efficiency of existing assets.

The Monadelphous Registered Training Organisation continued to service Monadelphous’ employee pre-mobilisation requirements for both Australia and Papua New Guinea, delivering more than 1,650 courses during the year.

Learning and development initiatives were enhanced with the establishment of a new leadership program in collaboration with the University of Western Australia and the Australian Institute of Management. The program for senior leaders is designed to

Monadelphous worked closely with customers to deliver productivity improvements within their operations. Weaker resource prices over the past few years has led to severe cost pressures for many customers.

==> picture [151 x 150] intentionally omitted <==

enhance capability and ensure sustainability through leadership, self-awareness and innovative thinking.

The highly sought after Graduate Development Program received more than 1,300 applications for the 2016 intake, across Australia and New Zealand. The program continues to provide valuable new talent for the business.

ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION

The Engineering Construction division reported sales revenue of $757.6 million.

Slowing demand for construction work by customers in the resources and energy sectors and the completion of a number of major projects, continued to impact sales revenues. Construction activity declined due to project delays and a significantly reduced pipeline of new work as customers delayed expansion plans and shelved new major investment decisions. The division remained focused on new markets and overseas opportunities.

Construction activity at the Inpex-led Ichthys Project Onshore LNG Facilities in Darwin was a major highlight of the year. The utility and offsite area works contract reached a peak manning level in excess of 900 employees during the period and has an excellent safety record. Works have been successfully executed and were approximately 60 per cent complete at year end. The project is expected to reach practical completion during the 2017 financial year.

Key contracts successfully completed during the year included the CITIC Pacific Mining Sino Iron Project in Western Australia and two coal seam gas projects for Australia Pacific LNG in Queensland.

Other contracts completed included two large pipeline construction contracts by the transmission pipelines business. The first was the construction of a gas export pipeline at the Inpex-led Ichthys Project Onshore

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

A review of the Company’s performance over the last five years is as follows:

LNG Facilities in Darwin and the second was a petroleum pipeline and stations for Rio Tinto at Cape Lambert in Western Australia.

New contracts valued at approximately $100 million were secured, including a supply contract with Australia Pacific LNG for wellhead separator skids, an irrigation scheme contract with Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation and a construction contract with Nyrstar at its Port Pirie Smelter in South Australia.

Newly established US company, Monaro, opened an office in Pittsburgh in January 2016, targeting construction projects in the energy, power, petrochemical and heavy industrial sectors in the Marcellus shale region. Monaro was awarded its first project toward the end of the period.

Our China-based fabrication business, SinoStruct, entered the North American market, securing four contracts to fabricate and supply ammonia injection skids for multiple projects in the North East region of the US.

MAINTENANCE AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICES

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division reported sales revenue of $608.4 million for the year.

The result reflected an upturn in maintenance activity levels over the period, although sales revenues were offset by reduced pricing driven by lower unit costs. Customers continue to focus on cost savings, innovation and efficient brownfields production as a number of new production plants transition to operation.

Oil and gas revenues were marginally down on the previous year as a result of fewer shutdowns. Strong growth in maintenance and dragline shutdown activity in the division’s

East Coast operations softened the impact of lower oil and gas activity. A number of minor planned shutdowns were successfully completed at the QGC plant on Curtis Island.

Other major activity undertaken during the year included facilities maintenance at the Barrow Island assets operated by Chevron Australia, and a major shutdown at the Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), Monadelphous continued to provide project services to Oil Search Limited.

In 2015/16, the division secured more than $1 billion in new contracts and contract extensions, underpinning the Company’s leading position in the maintenance and industrial services market. A majority of the new awards are long-term contracts and build on the Company’s valued relationships with key customers.

New work secured included a long-term contract associated with Shell Australia’s Prelude FLNG project and a new contract in joint venture with Giovenco Industries for services on the Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant Life Extension Program.

Subsequent to the year end, the Company secured a five-year contract to continue the provision of maintenance and industrial services support to BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam copper-uranium operation at Roxby Downs in South Australia.

OUTLOOK

Resource and energy market conditions are forecast to remain challenging over the medium-term against the backdrop of a prolonged downturn in the commodity price cycle. Customers are expected to maintain their focus on improving productivity and reducing operating costs. Opportunities for new major construction contracts are likely to remain at low levels.

The outlook for maintenance and industrial services continues to be positive as new operations come on stream, particularly in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sector. More broadly, higher levels of production and an increasing number of aging assets in the resources sector will drive higher volumes of sustaining capital and support services.

Monadelphous has developed a leadership position in this services market and is well placed to capitalise on a growing number of opportunities.

In the resources sector, the Company will focus on expanding its range of services, progressing the development of its engineer, procure and construct (EPC) capability and broadening industrial services.

In infrastructure markets, the Company’s position will continue to grow in water infrastructure both in Australia and New Zealand and the recently established renewable energy business Zenviron provides it with another platform for growth.

The Company will continue to progress its overseas expansion strategy. It has identified a number of potential opportunities for projects in PNG and Mongolia and will continue to develop its newly established position in the US market. Opportunities to provide Chinabased fabrication services to international customers will also be pursued.

==> picture [150 x 188] intentionally omitted <==

The Engineering Construction division, which provides large-scale multidisciplinary project management and construction services, continued to strengthen its position in the water infrastructure market and successfully completed a number of projects in the coal seam gas (CSG), resources and energy sectors during the period.

The Company’s China-based fabrication business, SinoStruct, focused on developing opportunities to provide services to customers and partners both internationally and domestically, and was awarded its first supply contract in the United States (US) and Africa. The US market entry is a key element of the Company’s strategy to deliver core services internationally and a major step in developing a position in the North American energy market.

The division reported sales revenue of $757.6 million, reflecting a lower demand for construction work as conditions in resources and energy markets continued to deteriorate.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION

In South Australia, Monadelphous commenced with the installation of structural, mechanical and piping works at Nyrstar’s Port Pirie smelter. Critical project activities started to ramp up in the third quarter of 2016.

In support of the Company’s growth strategy to deliver services under an EPC delivery model, the division continued providing significant early contractor involvement services on several proposed large-scale projects in the feasibility stage.

ENERGY

Construction activity progressed on Monadelphous’ largest ever construction contract at the Inpex-led Ichthys Project Onshore LNG Facilities in Darwin, Northern Territory. During the period, the contract reached peak manning of more than 900 employees and maintained a strong safety performance.

Subsequent to the reporting period, the division was awarded an electrical package valued at $35 million at Inpex’s Ichthys Project Onshore LNG Facilities.

Work was also completed on two large construction contracts for Australia Pacific LNG at the Roma and Durham Downs projects in Queensland. Both projects achieved an impeccable safety performance and zero recordable environmental incidents.

TRANSMISSION PIPELINES

Monadelphous KT specialises in the construction of cross-country pipelines and facilities. Following two years of rapid growth, activity levels declined as larger projects reached completion and the demand for pipeline infrastructure weakened.

Works on the Gas Export Pipeline for the Inpex-led Ichthys Project Onshore LNG Facilities were completed during the year, along with the design, supply, manufacture, construction and commissioning of Cape Lambert Petroleum Pipeline and Stations for Rio Tinto.

In July 2016, Monadelphous KT was awarded another contract for the design, construction and commissioning of a liquid fuel supply system for Rio Tinto at its Cape Lambert Port Facility, located 40km north east of Karratha in WA. The contract follows the successful completion of petroleum pipeline installations at West Angelas and Cape Lambert.

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

The water infrastructure business recorded solid growth during 2015/16, completing a number of projects including the design, construction and commissioning of an irrigation scheme for Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation in Methven, New Zealand. Construction of the Ashburton Lyndhurst Irrigation Scheme Stage 2 project continued with a target completion date of December 2016.

The design, supply, construction and commissioning of the Oxley Creek Sewage Treatment Plant Stages 1-4 for Queensland Urban Utilities in Brisbane, Queensland, was also completed during the year. Affected by flooding in 2011, a part of the plant was rendered inoperable. Monadelphous was engaged to return the plant to full operating capacity. Re-commissioning and hand over to Queensland Urban Utilities took place in March 2016.

Works were undertaken on the construction of the Western Downs Regional Council Chinchilla Potable Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Stage 1 in Chinchilla, Queensland.

The outlook for the infrastructure sector is encouraging, with the water infrastructure business in a strong position to secure opportunities in both Australia and New Zealand.

FABRICATION SERVICES

SinoStruct continued to focus heavily on global business development activities, making progress with projects for customers in Australia and overseas. Contracts included the fabrication and supply of wellhead separator skids for Australia Pacific LNG, with over 600 wellhead separators and pressure skid modules and associated connection pipe spooling to be delivered over three years. More than 1,800 tonnes of fabricated structural steel was supplied for B2 Gold’s Fekola Project in Mali, Africa, as well as the fabrication and assembly of conveyor modules for AGL Energy.

In April 2016, SinoStruct entered the North American market, securing four separate contracts to fabricate and supply nine ammonia injection skids for multiple projects in the North-East region of the US.

The supply agreements provide an exciting opportunity for SinoStruct to build relationships with customers in the region and exposes the business to potential new customers in the North American energy market.

The high standard of training and assessment is highly regarded by peak industry bodies and customers.

DIVERSITY

Monadelphous is committed to ensuring its workforce is reflective of the communities in which it operates, inclusive of people with diverse cultures, backgrounds and skill sets, believing this diversity enriches our breadth of knowledge, capability and experience. In addition, the Company believes in the principle of equal opportunity in employment for all people, regardless of any personal attributes such as gender, sexual preference, marital status, pregnancy, family responsibilities, ethnicity, political or religious belief, cultural background, disability and age.

Indigenous Engagement

In support of Monadelphous’ commitment to providing full, fair and reasonable engagement opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Company continued to operate in accordance with its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which was launched in 2014.

Monadelphous’ RAP brings together our wide range of Indigenous engagement initiatives in employment, training and partnerships, and formalises our commitment to continue to build our contribution to a sustainable future for Indigenous Australians. It is focused around the core areas of relationship development, respect and the provision of meaningful opportunities.

Gender Equality

The Company submitted its 2015/16 Workplace Gender Equality Report, a copy of which can be found on the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s website and on Monadelphous’ website.

In addition, the Company continues to progress its measurable objectives on gender diversity to enhance female participation in the workforce. These are detailed in the Monadelphous Corporate Governance Statement, which is available on the Company’s website.

SAFETY

Driven by our safety directive, The Safe Way

is the Only Way, Monadelphous improved its safety performance again this year, delivering a 22 per cent record performance improvement on last year’s results.

The 12-month total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) achieved at the end of the year was 2.45 incidents per million man-hours worked. In addition, the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) was 0.09 with just one incident recorded during the year.

The Company’s improved safety record can be attributed to its focus on improving risk controls, ongoing training and compliance auditing. System improvements have been matched with an ongoing focus on culture and behaviour to support alignment and compliance with systems and controls. In-house safety psychologists are providing culture and leadership assessment services, as well as coaching and development programs to ensure our teams are embracing our values.

A renewed focus on innovation has led to a solid year in the development and implementation of value adding improvements for our customers in the area of safety. In particular, new safety innovations can often be linked to productivity improvements, where the focus is to reduce exposure time to hazards and the solution also results in reduced hours expended.

Monadelphous’ high standard of safety continued to be recognised by its customers. The Engineering Construction division was awarded a Gold Standard Award for Subcontractor of the Year for 2015 for its involvement in Ichthys MEC-2 project in Darwin. The Maintenance and Industrial Services division received an award for the Best Contractor Health and Safety Performance at the Santos 2015 Directors’ EHS Awards for work completed on the GLNG Meridian Interconnect Project for Santos GLNG.

Directors’ report

reMUNerAtioN report (AUDiteD)

This Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2016 outlines the Key Management Personnel remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent Company.

Directors’ report

reMUNerAtioN report (AUDiteD) (continued)

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ encompasses the Managing Director and senior General Managers of the Group.

Structure

Details of Key Management Personnel

(i) Directors

C. G. B. Rubino Chairman

  • R. Velletri Managing Director

  • P. J. Dempsey Lead Independent Non-Executive Director

  • C. P. Michelmore Independent Non-Executive Director

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors based on their experience, contributions to the Company and the prevailing market conditions. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2014 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $600,000 in the ‘not to exceed sum’ paid to non-executive directors.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

  • D. R. Voss Independent Non-Executive Director

  • (ii) Executives

  • D. Foti Executive General Manager, Engineering Construction

  • Z. Bebic Executive General Manager, Maintenance & Industrial Services

Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the director on-market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the Company.

The non-executive directors do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ending 30 June 2016 is detailed in Table 1 on page 42 of this report.

  • P. Trueman Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary

executive remuneration

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its employees. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, which includes the directors and executives of the Company.

To this end, the Company embodies the principles of providing competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives, and the linking of executive rewards to shareholder value, in its remuneration framework.

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:

  • Reward executives for group, business unit and individual performance;

  • Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive management team.

The Remuneration Committee utilises remuneration survey data compiled by a recognised remuneration research organisation across a range of industries and geographic regions. The salary survey data is updated every 6 months and is used to assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and the executive management team. This assessment is made with reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

In determining the levels of remuneration of directors and executives, the Remuneration Committee takes into consideration the performance of the Group, business unit and the individual.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive management remuneration is separate and distinct.

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the remuneration committee receives external survey data from a recognised remuneration research organisation and considers market levels for comparable executive roles when making its recommendations to the Board.

Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration element, and variable remuneration elements in the form of Short Term Incentives (STI) and Long Term Incentives (LTI).

As disclosed in the 2015 Financial Statements, Monadelphous undertook a review of its STI and LTI programs, to identify the most appropriate incentive plan, for both KMP and other employees, that is best aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth.

The review lead to the implementation of a combined incentive model that rewards past performance of both the Company and the employee, continues to act as a retention mechanism and motivates the employee to grow the Company through long term share ownership. Details of the simplified combined incentive model are discussed on page 41. The review also concluded that the existing Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan should be retained, as an alternative or additional incentive scheme for the executive management team, for use as appropriate at the discretion of the Board.

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each member of the executive management team by the Remuneration Committee. Tables 1 and 2 on pages 42 and 43 of this report detail the proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for each of the executive directors and the members of the executive management team of the Company.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Directors’ report

reMUNerAtioN report (AUDiteD) (continued)

executive remuneration (continued)

Fixed remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the remuneration committee and the process consists of a review of company-wide, business unit and individual performance and relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally.

Monadelphous has a structured approach aimed at delivering fixed remuneration which is market competitive and rewards performance. The Company participates in a number of respected remuneration surveys from which it receives quarterly or six-monthly market and forecast data, and its remuneration system is designed to analyse detailed market and sector information at various levels.

Structure

Executive team members are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

The fixed remuneration component of the executives of the Company is detailed in Tables 1 and 2 on pages 42 and 43 of this report.

Variable remuneration – Short term incentive (STI)

Directors’ report

reMUNerAtioN report (AUDiteD) (continued)

executive remuneration (continued)

Variable remuneration – Long term incentive (LTI)

Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As previously mentioned, the Company has recently implemented a combined incentive model, and will retain the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan as an alternative or additional scheme for the executive management team.

Structure

Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan

LTI grants to executives are at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, and historically have been delivered in the form of options. The individual performance rating of each executive and the annual cost to the Company, on an individual basis, of any issue is taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of options granted.

No Directors or Key Management Personnel received options during the year ended 30 June 2016. 445,000 options were forfeited by Key Management Personnel during the year. All executives are eligible to participate in the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan.

In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances):

25% 2 years after the options were issued

Objective

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company’s targets with the performance of the employee charged with meeting those targets. The total STI for executives is discretionary and set at a level so as to remunerate the executives for achieving the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Structure

On an annual basis at the end of the financial year, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the Company and each individual business unit is approved by the remuneration committee. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short-term incentive payment made to each individual.

The KPIs considered in the assessment process adopt a balanced scorecard approach to measuring performance. The following categories of performance measures are considered:

  • Financial Measures: including revenue, contribution and financial administration metrics,

  • Safety Measures: including lost time and total case injury frequency metrics,

  • Customer Satisfaction Measures: including customer performance feedback,

  • Employee Retention and Development Metrics and

  • Progress made in terms of specific long-term strategic initiatives.

The KPIs have been selected to underpin the Company’s core values and ensuring performance is aligned to the strategic direction of the business.

The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Company is subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee. Payments made are usually delivered as a cash bonus.

The overall performance rating for the Company was not at a level to result in the award of the STI for the 2015 or 2016 financial year. No amounts were paid or are payable in relation to Key Management Personnel.

25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued

In addition, the ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the prescribed performance hurdle has been achieved. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date.

Simplifed combined incentive plan

Proposed awards under the simplified combined incentive plan will be comprised of cash and performance rights (effectively zero priced options). The plan rewards past performance of both the Company and the employee, continues to act as a retention mechanism and motivates the employee to grow the Company through long term share ownership, thereby aligning the incentive model with the interests of shareholders in an optimal manner. Service period and disposal restrictions will be incorporated within the plan to ensure employee retention and long term share ownership. In order to drive shareholder value any rewards provided under this plan would be based on the performance of the Company and will be comparable to the current STI and LTI plans. No awards were issued under the simplified combined incentive plan during the year ended 30 June 2016.

Performance targets will include measures that are linked to the achievement of Company strategy.

Awards under the simplified combined incentive plan may be granted annually, to allow flexibility and alignment to the business cycle and prevailing market environment, and will be at the Board’s discretion.

Hedging of equity awards

The Company prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI awards. The prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

Adherence to the policy is monitored on an annual basis and involves each KMP signing an annual declaration of compliance with the hedging policy.

Employment contracts

All executives have non-fixed term employment contracts. The Company or executive may terminate the employment contract by providing 3 months written notice. The Company may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred.

A review of the Company’s performance and returns to shareholders over the last five years has been provided on page 17 of this report.

The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors has determined that market conditions and the performance of the Company have not justified amendments to the remuneration levels of the business over recent years. Apart from one inflationary increase in 2014, there has not been a companywide staff remuneration increase since 2012. Furthermore, no awards have been issued under either the Company’s Short or Long Term Incentive schemes since 2013. The discipline shown by the Company, and commitment shown by our staff, has ensured the Group’s underlying cost structures have adapted to the current environment, and ensured business sustainability.

MoDiFicAtioN oF AUDitor rotAtioN reQUireMeNts

On 9 April 2015, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the Lead Audit Partner rotation period from five years to seven years in accordance with section 324DAB of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Legislation Amendment (Audit Enhancement) Act 2012.

The reasons why the Board of Directors approved the extension included:

  • Mr Meyerowitz, the Lead Audit Partner, has a detailed understanding of the Group’s business and strategies, its systems and controls. This knowledge is considered to be valuable to the Board at this point in time.

  • The existing independence and service metrics in place with EY and Mr Meyerowitz, are sufficient to ensure that auditor independence would not be diminished in any way by such an extension.

  • Mr Meyerowitz will continue to abide by the independence guidance provided in APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ as issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board and EY’s own independence requirements.

  • The Board of Directors are of the view that Mr Meyerowitz’s continued involvement with the Group as the Lead Audit Partner will not in any way diminish the audit quality provided to the Group.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Notes to tHe coNsoLiDAteD FiNANciAL stAteMeNts: GeNerAL iNForMAtioN

For tHe YeAr eNDeD 30 JUNe 2016

GeNerAL iNForMAtioN (continued)

Foreign currency translation (continued)

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rate ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

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

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which:

  • has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as applicable to a for-profit entity.

  • has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

  • is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 . The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.

  • adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations of the Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015.

  • does not early adopt any Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective.

Translation of Group companies’ functional currency to presentation currency

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of Monadelphous Group Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the income statements are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. Exchange variations arising from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

other accounting policies

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements or at note 31.

Key judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Management have identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made:

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control.

A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year end is contained in note 19. Consolidation of the subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a debit balance.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue

Revenue and cost of sales are recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion for construction contracts. Fundamental to the calculation of the percentage of completion is a reliable estimate of project revenues and project costs. Various factors contribute to the Group’s reliability of those estimates including, but not limited to, a thorough review process of all project costs and revenues, and the experience and knowledge of project management.

In determining revenues and expenses for construction contracts, management make key assumptions regarding estimated revenues and expenses over the life of the contracts. Key assumptions regarding costs to complete contracts include estimation of labour, technical costs, impact of delays and productivity. Changes in these estimation methods could have a material impact on the reported results of the Group.

Judgement is used in determining the point at which profit recognition commences. Generally profit does not commence recognition on contracts in the early stages of completion.

Taxation

Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.

Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustments, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the income statement.

Prior to 1 July 2009

The purchase method of accounting was used to account for all business combinations.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency. Both the functional and presentation currencies of Monadelphous Group Limited, its Australian subsidiaries and its Papua New Guinea subsidiary (Monadelphous PNG Ltd) are Australian dollars (A$).

The functional currency is United States dollars (US$) for the Hong Kong subsidiary (Moway International Limited), the Singapore subsidiary (Monadelphous Singapore Pte Ltd), the Mongolian subsidiary (Monadelphous Mongolia LLC) and the US subsidiaries (Monadelphous Inc. and Monadelphous Marcellus LLC). The functional currency of the Chinese subsidiary (Moway AustAsia Steel Structures Trading (Beijing) Company Limited) is Chinese Renminbi (RMB). The functional currency of the New Zealand subsidiary (Monadelphous Engineering NZ Pty Ltd) is New Zealand dollars (NZD).

Share based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

recognition and measurement

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of Services

Where the contract outcome can be reliably measured revenue is recognised as services are rendered to the customer for maintenance contracts. For construction contracts refer to the accounting policy below.

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured contract costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred. This also applies to construction contracts.

Construction contracts

When accounting for construction contracts, the contracts are either combined or segmented if this is deemed necessary to reflect the substance of the agreement. Revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is agreed with the customer on a work certified to date basis, as a percentage of the overall contract. Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred plus a percentage of fees earned during the financial year. The percentage of fee earned during the financial year is based on the stage of completion of the contract.

Where a loss is expected to occur from a construction contract the excess of the total expected contract costs over expected contract revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.

recognition and measurement

Finance costs

The Group does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated with the qualifying assets would be capitalised. All other finance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortisation

Refer to notes 8 and 9 for details on depreciation and amortisation.

Employee benefits expense

Refer to note 14 for employee benefits expense and note 26 for share-based payments expense.

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

Operating leases

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The minimum lease payments of operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Government Grants

The Group recognises the excess of the research and development (R&D) tax offset over the statutory rate (the R&D offset) being an additional 10% deduction as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance it will be received and any attached conditions will be complied with. As the grant relates to R&D expenditure already incurred it is recognised in the income statement in the period it became receivable as a reduction to cost of sales.

Unrecognised temporary differences

At 30 June 2016, there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the Group’s investments in subsidiaries, as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should unremitted earnings be remitted (2015: $nil).

tax consolidation

Monadelphous Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003. Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The head entity, Monadelphous Group Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Monadelphous Group Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

recognition and Measurement

Current taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred income tax is provided for using the full liability balance sheet approach on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for 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.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future

taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists and they relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

calculation of earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

There are 365,000 share options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future because they are anti-dilutive for the current period.

credit risk of amounts due from customers

Details regarding credit risk of amounts due from customers are disclosed in note 22.

recognition and measurement

Construction work-in-progress is stated at the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus profits recognised to date less recognised losses and progress billings. Costs include all costs directly related to specific contracts.

Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped where the credit limit has been exceeded. In this case, payment terms will not be extended. Each business unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received.

receivables not impaired nor past due

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

The Group trades with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

other debtors

Other debtors, which includes accrued sales, are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 to 60 days.

recognition and measurement

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 to 45 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at a Company and business unit level. An impairment provision is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivables. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, historical bad debt performance or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment

All classes of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis on all classes of property, plant and equipment other than freehold land. The estimated useful life of buildings is 40 years; plant and equipment is between 3 and 20 years.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

We have performed an impairment assessment based on the policy below. No material impairment was noted.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement.

10. iNterest iN JoiNt VeNtUre

The Group has a 50% interest in Monaro LLC, an incorporated joint venture involved in delivering multidisciplinary construction services in the Marcellus and Utica gas regions of North East USA.

At 30 June 2016, the Group’s interest in Monaro LLC was not material.

recognition and measurement

A joint venture is a type of arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have the rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in its joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. The income statement reflects the Group’s share of the results of the joint venture.

Description of the Group’s intangible assets

Intangible assets relate to the fair value of contracts acquired on acquisition of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (subsequently re-named Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd). Intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of 4 years.

impairment testing of the Group’s intangible assets and goodwill

At 30 June 2016, no impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement (2015: nil).

Goodwill acquired through a business combination has been allocated to cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes. The CGUs are the entity Monadelphous Electrical & Instrumentation Pty Ltd, the Hunter Valley business unit, the entity Monadelphous KT Pty Ltd and the entity Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd. None of the CGUs are material to the Group. The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period and applying a discount rate to the cash flow projections in the range of 12% to 15%. No reasonable possible changes in key assumptions would result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount.

recognition and measurement

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration over the fair value of the Group’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination, is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. If the recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

Intangible assets

The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite. The intangible assets are amortised over their useful life. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for the intangible assets is reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

At 30 June 2015 and 2016, other non-current assets consist of investments in AnaeCo Limited (ASX: ANQ). The Group has a 14.67% (2015: 15.02%) interest in AnaeCo Limited, whose principal activity is the development and commercialisation of a process for the treatment of organic municipal solid waste. The investment is not considered to be material.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, being the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control over those policies.

The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method. The Group recognises its share of the results of operations of the associate in the consolidated income statement. The Group’s investment in its associate is not material.

recognition and measurement

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and are not discounted due to their short term nature. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are usually paid within 30 to 45 days of recognition.

Sundry creditors and accruals are non-interest bearing and have an average term of 45 days.

recognition and measurement

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Interest bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases. The financed asset is stated at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. An interest bearing liability of equal value is also recognised at inception. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the lease liability.

The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

recognition and measurement

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relevant to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits includes liabilities for wages and salaries, rostered days off, vesting sick leave, project incentives and project redundancies. It is customary within the engineering and construction industry for incentive payments and redundancies to be paid to employees at the completion of a project. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with these statutory and project employee benefits.

Liabilities for short term benefits expected to be wholly settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Expenses for non-vesting sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

The liability for long term benefits is recognised and measured as the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the estimated future cash outflows.

Workers’ compensation

It is customary for all entities within the engineering and construction industry to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Payments under these policies are calculated differently depending on which state of Australia the entity is operating in. Premiums are generally calculated based on actual wages paid and claims experience. Wages are estimated at the beginning of each reporting period. Final payments are made when each policy is closed out based on the difference between actual wages and the original estimated amount. The amount of each payment varies depending on the number of incidents recorded during each period and the severity thereof. The policies are closed out within a five year period through negotiation with the relevant insurance company. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with closing out each insurance policy and is adjusted accordingly based on the actual payroll incurred and the severity of incidents that have occurred during each period.

Acquisition of Water infrastructure Group

On 27 February 2015, Monadelphous Group Limited concluded the purchase agreement with Water Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd to acquire the contracts and net assets of its design, build and maintain business. The acquisition forms part of Monadelphous’ market growth strategy.

The consideration comprised an initial cash payment of $6,000,000 and a subsequent cash adjustment to the purchase price of $1,700,000. $1,200,000 of the cash adjustment was paid in June 2016, with the remaining $500,000 paid during July 2016. The cash adjustment resulted from a change to the provisional fair value of net contracts in progress and unbilled revenue.

Acquisition of evo Access pty Ltd

On 22 April 2016, Monadelphous Group Limited acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Evo Access Pty Ltd. Total consideration for the acquisition was $260,000 comprising a cash payment of $160,000 and $100,000 of Monadelphous Group Limited ordinary shares.

22. FiNANciAL risK MANAGeMeNt oBJectiVes AND poLicies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts, cash, short-term deposits and derivatives.

The Group is exposed to financial risks which arise directly from its operations. The Group has policies and measures in place to manage financial risks encountered by the business.

Primary responsibility for the identification of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board determines policies for the management of financial risks. It is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer and senior management to implement the policies set by the Board and for the constant day to day management of the Group’s financial risks. The Board reviews these policies on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to address the risks faced by the Group.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s policy to minimise risk from fluctuations in interest rates is to utilise fixed interest rates in its loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. Cash and short term deposits are exposed to floating interest rate risks. The Group manages its foreign currency risk arising from significant supplier contracts in foreign currencies by holding foreign currency or taking out forward exchange contracts. Analysis is performed on a customer’s credit rating prior to signing contracts and analysis is performed regularly of credit exposures and aged debt to manage credit and liquidity risk.

The policies in place for managing the financial risks encountered by the Group are summarised below.

The Group utilises a number of financial institutions to obtain the best interest rate possible and to manage its risk. The Group does not enter into interest rate hedges.

At 30 June 2016, reasonable possible movement in variable interest rates, based on a review of historical movements and forward rate curves for forward rates would not have had a material impact on the Group.

Foreign currency risk

As a result of operations in the USA, Papua New Guinea, China, Mongolia and New Zealand the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the US$/A$, PGK/A$, RMB/A$, and NZ$/A$ exchange rates.

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. Where possible, Monadelphous does not take on foreign exchange risk. At 30 June 2016, the Group had no forward contracts.

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the joint arrangement, the arrangement is classified as a joint operation and as such, the Group recognises its:

  • Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

  • Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

  • Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; and

  • Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the investment is classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the cost of the investment is adjusted by the post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the venture.

credit risk

The Group trades with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

At 30 June 2016, reasonably possible movements in USD foreign exchange rates, based on a review of historical movements, would not have had a material impact on the Group.

At 30 June 2016, if the PGK foreign exchange rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax

profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

The reasonably possible movements have been based on review of historical movements.

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to accounts receivable by undertaking transactions with a number of customers within the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. There are multiple contracts with our significant customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries and locations.

For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without

the specific approval of the Chairman, Managing Director or Chief Financial Officer.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group minimises its exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents by investing funds only with counter parties rated A+ or higher by Standard & Poor’s.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is its cash and trade receivables representing $445,405,000 at 30 June 2016 (2015: $485,060,000)

Since the Group trades with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

(b) Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts and estimated aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date are materially the same. Interest bearing liabilities with fixed interest rates: The fair value includes the value of contracted cash flows, discounted at market rates.

Cash and cash equivalent: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.

Receivables and payables: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to short term maturity.

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1: The fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: The fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: The fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and Employee Option Prospectus have been established where eligible directors and employees of the consolidated entity are issued with options over the ordinary shares of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options, issued for nil consideration, are issued in accordance with the guidelines established by the remuneration committee of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options issued carry various terms and exercising conditions. There are currently no directors and 26 employees participating in these schemes.

In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and Employee Option Prospectus, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances):

25% 2 years after the options were issued 25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued

The ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options outstanding at 30 June 2016 shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric is growing at a rate of at least 10% per year on average. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date.

recognition and Measurement

The Group provides benefits to employees (including Key Management Personnel) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). These benefits are provided through the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Prospectus.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Monadelphous Group Limited (market conditions), if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Loans to associates

At 30 June 2016, an amount totalling $16,113,000 (2015: $7,957,000) had been loaned to AnaeCo Limited (AnaeCo). Monadelphous owns 14.67% (2015: 15.02%) of the ordinary share capital of AnaeCo. The loan is included in the statement of financial position within other receivables. Interest is payable on the loan at a rate of 12% (2015: 12%) per annum. The loan is secured by a first ranking charge over AnaeCo Limited’s assets.

On 5 August 2016, Monadelphous announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Xiaoqing Environmental Protection Technology Company (XEPTC) that will result in XEPTC buying part of the convertible loan owed to Monadelphous by AnaeCo. The sale is subject to certain standard and regulatory conditions, including AnaeCo shareholder approval.

At completion of the sale XEPTC will pay Monadelphous $11.5 million and Monadelphous will assign its rights and obligations under that part of the loan being sold to XEPTC.

Monadelphous will retain its rights to the balance of the loan (being all amounts owing from AnaeCo in excess of $11.5 million) and, subject to approval by AnaeCo’s shareholders, will convert the remaining balance into equity of AnaeCo. It is expected that Monadelphous will hold 30% of AnaeCo’s issued share capital upon conversion.

29. operAtiNG seGMeNts

Revenue is derived by the consolidated entity from the provision of engineering services to the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. For the year ended 30 June 2016, the Engineering Construction division contributed revenue of $757.6 million (2015: $1,245.5 million) and the Maintenance and Industrial Services division contributed revenue of $608.4 million (2015: $621.2 million). Included in these amounts is $1.3 million (2015: $1.7 million) of inter-entity revenue, which is eliminated on consolidation. The operating divisions are exposed to similar risks and rewards from operations, and are only segmented to facilitate appropriate management structures.

The directors believe that the aggregation of the operating divisions is appropriate for segment reporting purposes as they:

  • have similar economic characteristics in that they have similar gross margins;

  • perform similar services for the same industry sector;

  • have similar operational business processes;

  • provide a diversified range of similar engineering services to a large number of common clients;

  • utilise a centralised pool of engineering assets and shared services in their service delivery models, and the services provided to customers allow for the effective migration of employees between divisions; and

  • operate predominately in one geographical area, namely Australia.

Accordingly all services divisions have been aggregated to form one segment.

The Group has a number of customers to which it provides services. The largest customer represented 25% of the Group’s revenue. Three other customers contributed over 34% of revenue, representing 15%, 11% and 9% of the Group’s revenue. There are multiple contracts with these customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries and locations.

Goods and services tax (Gst)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Reference Summary of standard for Group
AASB 15_Revenue from_ The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue
Contracts with Customers to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that refects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An
entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by
applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfes a 1 January 2018 1 July 2018
performance obligation
Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue
is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of
fulflling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New
disclosures about revenue are also introduced.
The Group continues its detailed review of its contracts with
customers to determine the impact, if any, of AASB 15 to revenue
recognition of the Group. At the date of this report, that assessment
is ongoing and it has not been possible to quantify the effect of AASB
15.

Reference Summary of standard for Group
AASB 16_Leases_ The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:
Lessee accounting
Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for
all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the
underlying asset is of low value.
A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-
fnancial assets and lease liabilities similarly to other fnancial
liabilities.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured
on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-
cancellable lease payments (including infation-linked
payments), and also includes payments to be made in optional
periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option
to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the 1 January 2019 1 July 2019
lease.
AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees.
Lessor accounting
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting
requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a lessor continues to
classify its leases as operating leases or fnance leases, and to
account for those two types of leases differently.
AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by
lessors that will improve information disclosed about a lessor’s
risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk.
The Group has not yet commenced its review of the application of
this Standard.
