  • Contracting Businesses, Which Was Offset by a Comparatively Lower, but Profitable, Contribution from the Mining & Civil Business
    ASX RELEASE 24 November 2015 ASX Market Announcements 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Sir / Madam Watpac Limited’s Chair and Managing Director’s Addresses at 2015 Annual General Meeting In accordance with Listing Rule 3.13.3, please find attached a copy of the Chair and Managing Director’s addresses to be given at the 2015 Watpac Limited Annual General Meeting, which will be held today at 11:00am (Brisbane time). Yours sincerely WATPAC LIMITED Mark Baker COMPANY SECRETARY For personal use only CHAIR’S ADDRESS Watpac Limited Annual General Meeting – 24 November 2015 This year has been an important one for Watpac as we focused on strengthening the Group’s financial position and, achieving a number of significant milestones to ensure sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders. The last 12 months have seen various sectors of the construction market improve particularly in core identified portfolios such as airports, defence, health, education and PPPs. Our financial results in FY15 have reflected the success of our objective to build a stronger construction business and take advantage of improved economic conditions in targeted sectors. For the 2015 financial year we delivered a full year net profit after tax of $11.5 million, with a consolidated underlying net profit after tax of $17.9 million. This result saw a 30 per cent increase in pre-tax profit from Watpac’s contracting businesses, which was offset by a comparatively lower, but profitable, contribution from the Mining & Civil business. A $9.1 million non-cash pre-tax impairment on the Group’s residual property assets, of which I will touch on shortly, lowered the statutory results.

    The age of the tall building as a single iconic piece of sculpture, standing in isolation from its surroundings, must now come to an end. We have a responsibility to ensure that these permanent urban structures engender a future-oriented urban response to the greatest challenges of our time: unprecedented population growth; mass urbanization; climate change; environmental degradation; social, political and economic change; and the rapid advance of myriad technical innovations. The future of humanity on this planet relies on the collective benefi ts of urban density; reducing both land consumption and the energy needed to construct and operate the horizontally dispersed city. Tall buildings must now be the vehicles for creating increased density not just through sheer height, but by connecting multiple layers of the city. Physical urban infrastructure, circulation, greenery, and urban functions traditionally restricted to the ground level would all, ideally, continue up and into the building, such that the buildings themselves become an extension of the city: a part of the two- dimensional horizontal urban plane fl ipped vertical.
