A summary of consolidated revenues and results by significant business segments is set out below: Segment Revenue Segment Result 2008 2007 2008 2007 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Operations and maintenance outsourcing services (continuing operations) Australia 1,598,666 1,449,536 81,145 63,570 North America 848,021 428,295 9,383 7,962 New Zealand 487,865 368,567 3,157 4,403 Other regions 61,962 47,966 3,304 200 Australia (discontinued operations) - 142,450 - 106,797 Total segment revenue 2,996,514 2,436,814 Profit before income tax expense 96,989 182,932 Income tax expense (14,613) (72,485) Profit after income tax expense 82,376 110,447 (Profit)/loss attributable to minority interests (203) (28) Profit attributable to members of Transfield Services Limited 82,173 110,419 Earnings per Share 2008 2007 Cents Cents Basic earnings per share 41.49 58.15 Diluted earnings per share 41.49 58.15 Significant changes in the state of affairs During the year, the Group continued with the expansion of its business in North America. This has included:- • the growth of the Flint Transfield Services joint venture providing asset management services to the oil sands industry in Canada; • the acquisition of the business of Horizon National Contracting Services LLC (Horizon) and 100% of the share capital of Whelan’s International Co. Inc. (Whelan) which provide facilities management services primarily in the retail sector of the United States; • the acquisition of VMS Inc. which provides operations and maintenance services to the road sector in the United States. This growth has led to a significant increase in foreign currency earnings, assets, liabilities and cashflows, whilst the Group looks to match its offshore assets with corresponding liabilities, the impact is increased volatility of the consolidated earnings of the Group to movements in exchange rates. For personal use only Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year No significant matters have arisen between balance sheet date and the date of this report. 4 Transfield Services Limited and controlled entities Directors’ Report Other than the above, there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2008 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect: the consolidated entity’s operations in future financial years; or the results of those operations in future financial years; or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years. Likely developments and expected results of operations Information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. Environmental regulation and greenhouse gas and energy data reporting requirements The Group is subject to the reporting requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007. However, it does not currently trigger the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006.The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 requires the Group to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The first measurement period for this Act runs from 1 July 2008 until 30 June 2009.

The Group will register with the GEDO before the deadline of 31 August 2009.

  • Broadspectrum Limited I ABN 69 000 484 417 Corporate Tax Avoidance
    Reference Number: Quirk Level 10, 111 Pacific Highway North Sydney NSW 2060 30 October 2015 Locked Bag 917 North Sydney NSW 2059 Telephone: +61 2 9464 1000 Facsimile: +61 2 9464 1111 Dr Kathleen Dermody, Committee Secretary Senate Economics References Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 PDF by email: to [email protected] Dear Dr Dermody Inquiry into corporate tax avoidance and minimisation This company' s name was changed from "Transfield Services Limited" to "Broadspectrum Limited" by the shareholders at our AGM on Wednesday 28 October 2015. Our response to your request for a submission to the Senate Inquiry into Corporate Tax Avoidance and Minimisation is attached. (For convenience, below we refer to ourselves as "Transfield".) The content of the submission speaks for itself. At the same time, we highlight the following points for the committee: • Transfield takes its obligations as a taxpayer and a responsible corporate citizen very seriously. Our objective in our tax affairs and dealings revolves around the principles of transparency, simplicity and doing what is right. • Transfield's current effective tax rate is 27 .5%. This is based on the Group's total profit and reported income tax expense for FY15. • While effective tax rates can move materially from time to time, we also observe that over the last 12 years the company has paid an average of 36% of Group profits in actual cash payments to the ATO . This payment of corporate income tax in cash is a useful statistic for the information of the committee. • Transfield stresses that it does not employ any tax structuring for the purposes of revenue or profit shifting that would serve to reduce tax payable in Australia.

  • Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly
    Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly We are pleased to present Edition 25 of the Gresham Mining and Infrastructure Services Quarterly (GMISQ), a snapshot of the performance, news and trends across the resources and infrastructure services sectors. The Gresham Mining and Infrastructure Services Index (GMISI) rose 7% during the December 2019 quarter, while the broader equity market finished flat over the period. The index appreciation was driven by the GMISI’s larger constituents, with 18 of the top 25 companies by market capitalisation posting share price increases. In contrast, 18 of the lower 25 companies went backwards during the quarter. The index has softened in the opening weeks of 2020, following the announcement of operating issues at several companies and concerns around the potential impact of the coronavirus on resources activity. At the end of the December quarter, the sector’s median FY20 EV/EBIT and EV/EBITDA multiples were 8.8x and 5.6x respectively, both above long term averages. While equity markets were generally strong over 2019, IPO activity remained subdued, as a number of potential new listings in the sector were withdrawn or deferred late in the quarter. However, it was a busy period for M&A, with major announced transactions including Ventia’s acquisition of Broadspectrum, the sale of Lendlease’s Engineering business to Acciona and NRW’s purchase of BGC Contracting. In this edition we take a snapshot of some highlights from 2019, including corporate transactions and the biggest movers in the index. The data shows that the largest share price changes were primarily observed in small-caps that have reported material earnings changes.
