Capital Management
Highlighted by the on-market share buy-back & increase in dividends
- The Group's balance sheet continues to strengthen with Net Cash increasing by $23.1m during the year to $73.0m, after:
- buy-back of 5.0 million shares at a total cost of $8.0m; and
- purchase of shares for expected vesting under the FY18 share-based incentive plans
- Board has declared a final dividend of 4.5 cps (fully-franked)
- Total dividends for the year of 7.5 cps up 3.0 cps on FY17 and represents a pay-out ratio of 66%
- Management continues to work through a disciplined process of identifying and evaluating business expansion opportunities
- TechSafe's profit contribution for the year of $3.0m was insufficient to satisfy the acquisition's earn-out condition due to a timing issue of work release, resulting in $1.0m being written-back to profit in accordance with the relevant accounting standard




OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Safety Performance
Maintaining our focus on the safety of our people, our customers and the community
- Focus continues on maintaining a strong safety culture as operations across the business continue to grow and expand
- Delivered further improvements in reducing lost time injuries and severity rates throughout the year
- Working through a range of new initiatives to drive further improvement across Recordable and Medically Treated Injuries as performance improvement levels moderate
- Increasing use of lead indicators to assess group performance across key risk areas
- Targeted campaigns to review and improve HSE processes associated with higher risk field activities

Fixed Communications
Network operations, maintenance and minor works
- Revenue up 39.7% on prior year driven by an increase in nbn OMMA volumes and minor projects, with a solid revenue contribution of $48.3 million from other customers
- EBITDA margin steady in line with 2H17 & 1H18
- nbn NMRA contract extended to Dec-19
- Increase in nbn OMMA assurance & remediation volumes in 2H18 offset the expected decline in activations due to the HFC pause:
- Service Stream Fixed Communications completed 363,200 nbn customer activations during the second-half, further increasing its OMMA market share
- The ramp-up in the volume of assurance and remediation tickets continues as the National Broadband Network is progressively activated, with Service Stream completing 201,000 tickets during the second-half





Network Construction
Network engineering, design and construction
- Revenue up 19.3% on prior year driven by increases in Wireless and nbn design & construction activities under the MIMA & DCMA contracts
- Increases more than offsetting cessation of the nbn New Developments contract
- EBITDA margin maintained in line with that achieved in recent years
- Revenue under the MIMA & DCMA contracts increased to $105.7m in line with expectation
- Significant focus during the year on the completion of Fibre-to-the-Curb designs under the DCMA contract and construction of the first 13 x FTTC SAMs for nbn
- Wireless revenues driven by significant focus on the Telstra 'black-spot' program



Energy & Water
Utility asset installation, inspection and maintenance
- Revenue up 10.7% on prior year with TechSafe's revenue of $14.9m for the year impacted by a slightly slower second-half.
- EBITDA margin steady and in line with 2H17 & 1H18.
- 100% of incumbent metering contracts were retained during the year.
- Three new field service contracts, with an aggregate annual value of $9.5 million, have been won from competitors over recent months.
- 11.8 MW of solar PV installed during the year, with a strong continuing bias to commercial end-users.
