1H FY20 Performance Highlights

The Company achieved record revenue of $33.3 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019, a 222% increase on the prior corresponding period and up 82% on the second half of the 2019 financial period. Net profit after tax was $0.5 million and underlying EBITDA was $2.0 million.

2H FY20 Outlook

SIMPEC’s strong performance in 1H FY20 and the recent integration of Alltype Engineering has strengthened and diversified WestStar’s order book, which is currently $25 million, the majority of which will be delivered during 2H FY20.

The integration of Alltype Engineering further extends and diversifies the company order book for the second half of FY20.

The relocation of the Company’s existing precast division to Alltype Engineering represents a cost saving of $1.2 million over the next 12 months with further synergies to be gained from consolidation of back office functions.

The Company incurred one-off legal and due diligence costs in the half year in relation to the Alltype Engineering acquisition. Payments to suppliers and employees during the half year were also proportionately higher due to timing differences which are expected to unwind over the next half. Receipts will be bolstered by the release of retention balances and the material increase in activity from Alltype Engineering.

WestStar’s growing tender pipeline has increased substantially and now exceeds $400 million in qualified opportunities, with favourable market conditions in WestStar’s key markets expected to provide a continuing pipeline of new opportunities during 2H FY20.

WestStar CEO, Robert Spadanuda, commented:

“WestStar’s first half results reinforce its ability to safely deliver sustainable profit growth in line with our strategic objectives.

The Company’s operational focus for the second half of FY20 is to secure additional opportunities across all areas aligned with the companies enhanced capability. Through effective risk management we remain committed to a strong safety culture along with the profitable and sustainable delivery of earnings growth.

The introduction of Alltype Engineering in January 2020 allows us to harness our new asset base in order to deliver larger projects with a focus on sustaining capital and geographical expansion that fit within our risk appetite.

The current orderbook and pipeline of tender opportunities provide WestStar with increased confidence in achieving further revenue growth in 2H FY20 based on our ability to convert a qualified tender book pipeline of $400 million.”

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Operations

The Group again delivered a strong operational result with ~$30M of contracts awarded to it during the half year. SIMPEC delivered the bulk of this result, continuing to prove a valuable partner to its clients on site.

SIMPEC operations

During the half year, SIMPEC was two significant new contracts:

  • a $5M contract at Fortescue’s (FMG) Eliwana Mine and Rail Project with Energy Power Systems Australia;

  • a $5M contract direct with Tianqi Lithium Kwinana (“TLK”) at the Tianqi Lithium LHPP1 process plant in Kwinana, Western Australia.

The contract award at FMG’s Eliwana Mine deepens SIMPEC’s exposure to WA’s significant iron ore projects. With this award SIMPEC has contracts across each of BHP (South Flank), Rio Tinto (West Angelas Mine and Cape Lambert Port Facility) and now FMG.

The FMG contract also represents SIMPEC’s first full vertical installation package – comprising of Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Piping, Electrical and Instrumentation works - (SIMPEC as the true acronym). Under the contract, SIMPEC will supply (partially), install, test and commission the 25 Mega Watt Diesel Power Generation facilities for the Fortescue Eliwana Mine and Rail Project. The contract commenced and was a significant focus during the half year with completion scheduled in July 2020.

WestStar Industrial Limited

SIMPEC’s contract award directly with TLK at the Tianqi Lithium LHPP1 process plant is another first for SIMPEC with previous contracts at this project completed as a subcontractor. Under the contract, SIMPEC will supply SMP and E&I completions and commissioning support services for the stage 1 processing plant assisting TLK with the handover of the plant to operations.

In addition to these new contracts, SIMPEC was awarded scope extensions to its current contracts in excess of $18M. These extensions represent a strong endorsement of SIMPEC as a capable engineering contractor.

Along with its existing work scope at the Tianqi Lithium LHPP1 process plant, during the half year SIMPEC was mobilised at Rio Tinto’s West Angelas Mine and FMG’s Eliwana camp with ATCO Structures and Logistics and with Rio Tinto at the Cape Lambert Port Facility.

SIMPEC also continued its strong tendering activities with further contract decisions expected and announcements to be made in this regard in due course.

Corporate

During the half year, the Company announced that it has executed a Share Sale Agreement (“Share Sale Agreement”) to acquire 100% of Alltype Engineering Pty Ltd (“Alltype”) in a fully funded and all-scrip transaction.

Established in 1985 and with a current workforce of around 120 personnel, Alltype is a leading provider of workshop fabrication, site installation, construction and maintenance services to the Oil & Gas, Water, Power Generation, Infrastructure, Mining, Resources, Utility, Petrochemical and Defence industries, in both the private and public sectors across Australia.

Alltype’s head office and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are located in Naval Base, Western Australia, providing excellent proximity to rail, road and port transport infrastructure and ready access to supply chain support and services. Alltype has a long track record of sustainable earnings and in FY19 delivered revenue of $29.8M and FY19 EBITDA of ~$2.0M.

Alltype is a compelling acquisition for WestStar, providing scale and diversification with a substantial increase in revenues and earnings. The all-scrip consideration proposed consisted of ~$5.9M upfront consideration and deferred consideration of Shares in the Company, subject to Alltype achieving FY20 EBITDA targets, with both tranches escrowed 12 months from issue

On 24 December 2019, Shareholders approved the transaction and the issue of up to 329,294,000 upfront consideration shares and up to 243,387,647 deferred consideration shares.

Subsequent to the half-year end, the Company completed the acquisition of Alltype with all conditions precedent met or waived through the issue of 237,091,680 upfront consideration shares in the Company to the vendors of Alltype based on a VWAP calculation.

Due to these corporate activities, the Company incurred one off expenses for due diligence, legal and corporate advisory costs. The Company also incurred costs in finalising an exit of its leased operational facility in Kwinana with a view to consolidating those operations into one at Alltype’s state-of-the-art facility, located in Naval Base, Western Australia. Synergies and cost savings from these efforts are expected to be realised over the coming months.

Ultimately, Alltype is highly complementary to WestStar’s existing operations, providing meaningful opportunities for vertical integration and cross selling across an enlarged customer base. The newly combined Group will target continued diversification across complimentary market segments and expansion into key geographical areas.

WestStar Industrial Limited

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the half-year ended 31 December 2019

1. Corporate

The consolidated half-year financial report of WestStar Industrial Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group” or “Consolidated Entity”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was authorised for issue on 27 February 2020 in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27 February 2020.

WestStar Industrial Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose condensed financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

These half-year financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by WestStar Industrial Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to fair value.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half year has to be treated as a discrete reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

(b) Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group posted a net profit after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 of $495,616 (31 December 2018: net loss of $410,584). The Group had net cash outflows of $2,600,705, had Cash of $7,645,624 and a working capital surplus of $1,380,192 at 31 December 2019.

The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern. The directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases replaces AASB 17 Leases along with three interpretations (IFRIC 4 Determining whether and Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease).

The adoption of this new Standard results in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and related lease liability in connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application.

Management has reviewed the application of AASB 16 and determined that it is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Other than the above, there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

2. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(d) Prior Period Adjustments

On 29 December 2017, WestStar Industrial Limited acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital and voting rights in SIMPEC Pty Ltd.

If the initial accounting for a business acquisition is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the consolidated entity reports provisional amounts for the items for which accounting is incomplete. The provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period on a retrospective basis by restating the comparative information presented in the financial statements. In December 2018, the Company reassessed the intangible asset value of SIMPEC as significantly above its carrying value and accordingly an impairment reversal to the value of $992,198 was recognised.

Consolidated statement of Financial Position

The total impact on the Group’s statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2018:

31 December 2018 Prior Period 31 December 2018

The prior period adjustment did not have any impact on the Group’s Statement of Cash Flows.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Contract assets

Contract assets are recognised when the Group has transferred goods or services to the customer but where the Group is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration. Contract assets are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

(d) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of WestStar Industrial Limited.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Phone: 6380 2555 Fax: 9381 1122

To the Members of WestStar Industrial Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of WestStar Industrial Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled during the half-year.

Directors Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Weststar Industrial Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

‘Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation’

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the halfyear financial report of WestStar Industrial Limited and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
