Chairman’s address
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Again, a warm welcome to the 2020 Annual General Meeting of LogiCamms Limited. Although we can’t see you, many thanks to those shareholders who have joined us remotely today. There is some hope that next year we will be able to meet in more normal circumstances.
The 2020 financial year was one of two halves: relatively normal up until Christmas 2019 and then highly unpredictable from then until 30 June, 2020. For the most part, our people rapidly adapted to remote working. We have indeed been fortunate that the majority of our revenue was derived from operations in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia where COVID-19’s impacts have been less severe. Our operations in Victoria, and earlier in New Zealand, felt the impact more severely.
I don’t wish to dwell too long on FY20, given we are almost half-way through FY21. However, I am pleased that we delivered a very satisfactory performance given the circumstances. As we near the half-way mark of this financial year, and despite continued COVID-19 uncertainty, the Board’s confidence is increasing as larger, longer term projects are starting to be awarded and margins are overall consistent with last financial year.
You will be aware that the company has made substantial changes to its Board and Senior Executive ranks over the last year. The Board, as you see it today, is well-balanced with an appropriate breadth and depth of skills and experience to support a re-energised, growing business. Alongside the notable movements of Linton Burns to Managing Director, and Brian O’Sullivan retiring as an Executive Director to take up a position as a Non-Executive Director; we successfully recruited Michael Casey as Chief Financial Officer and Sarah Zeljko as our newest Non-Executive Director. We now have a traditional management and Board structure with reduced overheads which ensures the company is focused on and able to meet its growth objectives.
After canvassing the views of various shareholders on its design, today we are seeking approval for the newly introduced long term incentive plan (LTI Plan) which has been structured to align management remuneration with shareholder returns. We believe the structure of the Plan is appropriate at this stage in the evolution of your Company. The performance rights only vest if EPS growth hurdles are met and there are positive total shareholder returns over the vesting period. As the business matures and grows the Board reserves the right to vary the Plan (with shareholder approval) to reflect the business drivers at the time.
Another part of the evolution, for which we also seek shareholder approval today, is the change of name of your Company from LogiCamms to Verbrec, to aid in the re-positioning of the Company within its strategic market segments and in the perception of the financial

community. One reason for this change is, to create an entity with clear operating divisions which leave room for future growth via a clearly defined M&A strategy. The LogiCamms brand and its sister brands OSD and Competency Training will be retained for some time as wholly owned operating divisions. Another reason for this change is the marketing of Verbrec will be designed to emphasise the combined capability of the divisions of the new entity and encourage cross selling opportunities.
Our Managing Director, Linton will provide a review on our financial performance shortly. But let me pre-empt that by saying that your Board is focused on steady and sustainable growth in revenue and earnings. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances and assuming the ongoing profitability of the Company, the Board anticipates being able to resume the payment of dividends by the end of calendar 2021. I am sure Linton will tell you about our plans to provide a series of shareholder briefings in various locations early in the new year based on our half year results.
From the rest of the Board, we would like to thank you for your unwavering support this year and I look forward to speaking to you soon on the back of good news. Finally, I would like to recognize the contribution Christopher O’Neill made to the business in his time as CEO leaving to our new Managing Director a solid platform on which to build.
I will now hand over to Managing Director, Linton Burns, who will provide an operations review.

AGM Announcement
27 November 2020
Managing Director’s address
Thank you, Phillip. My name is Linton Burns and I am the Managing Director of LogiCamms.
Before I start, I’d like to thank you, our shareholders, for taking the time to join us today and also thank my fellow Board members for your support in appointing me as your Managing Director. This is a very stimulating role for me as it gives me the opportunity to execute on the full vision we had when we instigated the merger of OSD with LogiCamms in 2019.
To recap, FY20 was a turning point for the Company, even with the impacts of COVID-19.
The initial benefits of the merger were realised with revenue remaining in line with FY19 despite COVID-19 impacts and with more than $3M in annualised operating cost reductions achieved normalised EBITDAI margins increased 2.3% points year-on-year. With a strong focus on working capital management and improved margins the cash balance increased from $8.3M as at 30 June 2019 to $15.9M at 30 June 2020. This includes what we refer to as quarantined cash – which is the government and bank COVID-19 support in the form of tax payment or principal repayment holidays that need to be repaid at a future date.
With regards to the 2021 financial year, I am pleased to report that after a subdued start to the year we have recently achieved some good project wins out of our Perth office in the mining sector and out of our Brisbane office in the Oil & Gas sector (both domestic and overseas projects). This coupled with the ongoing execution of control system upgrades for major water utility companies across the country means that some of our key business metrics are returning to pre-COVID levels. In addition, we have some large project opportunities in mining and oil & gas that we expect to be awarded prior to the Christmas break which will see our work in hand increase.
Looking forward, we will continue playing to our strengths and focus on our six service lines within the oil & gas, mining, and infrastructure markets and expand our capabilities across the asset life cycle within our areas of expertise and within those markets. With our Asset Management, Asset Services and Training businesses, on top of the Engineering service lines, we provide services from the concept stage of a project, through to design, construction, commissioning and ongoing operations and maintenance.
Not only does this broad service offering provide opportunities to better support our clients it also provides opportunities for LogiCamms to diversify its revenue streams by increasing revenues from non-project-based sources such as long-dated O&M contracts and training.
Even with the impacts of COVID-19 we have made significant progress in improving our margins and strengthening our balance sheet. As Phillip alluded to both gross and net margins are holding up which is as a result of our strong focus on project delivery and cost control.

With stronger margins comes a stronger balance sheet, that coupled with strengthened project delivery and engineering capability within each of our Service Lines means we can confidently bid for and win larger scopes of work. A strong balance sheet also allows us to grow strategically through M&A when opportunities present themselves.
My priorities for the 2021 financial year are:
-
Continuing to monitor and manage the business through the COVID-19 induced economic downturn. This means keeping our team safe and rapidly responding to lockdowns such as that imposed in South Australia last week.
-
A continued strong focus on working capital management.
-
Continuing to improve our gross margins through better systems and processes and improving our net margins through further reductions in overheads including office rent.
-
Ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standard, on budget and on time. We firmly believe continuing to provide outstanding service delivery is the best form of business development. It makes the job of the recently expanded BD team so much easier if our clients have trust in our ability to deliver a quality product on time and on budget.
-
Realise the efficiency dividend when we go live with a new common ERP system in January 2021. This is also important from a growth perspective as it will make integrating any potential acquisitions easier than would have historically been the case.
-
• Build a close-knit management team with each member knowing their role and having clear growth KPI’s and incentives.
-
Reinforce our core capabilities across our six service lines through increased marketing efforts. This will be driven by the recently appointed Service Line Leads and Marketing co-ordinator.
-
Identify and execute bolt-on M&A opportunities. We are specifically looking to expand our existing service lines across all our markets with a focus on building our scale and client offering
To wrap up, I would like to thank you all for your ongoing support for LogiCamms and as Phil mentioned I look forward to speaking with you all more frequently as we ramp up our investor relations efforts including conducting a shareholder roadshow in early 2021. I hope to see you in person then.
I’ll now hand back over to Chairman Phillip Campbell to commence the official part of the meeting.
Thank you
