FY14 marked a turnaround in the Company’s performance following a number of challenging years during which Matrix has built and commissioned its world class syntactic foam manufacturing complex at Henderson, Western Australia while managing the complexities associated with a persistently high Australian dollar, a slowing world economy and a highly competitive landscape. Matrix’s commitment to quality and product development continues to enhance its reputation as a world class supplier of oil and gas equipment. The oil and gas industry is renowned for only using products with the highest standards of quality and safety. Matrix is proud that its products are recognised throughout the industry for their leading technical specifications and low failure rates, particularly in buoyancy products where Matrix riser buoyancy leads the market in design, innovation and quality. Matrix is committed to safety with a target lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) of zero and therefore it is disappointing to report that three individual incidents during FY14 have resulted in an increase in the Company LTIFR from zero to 4.1. While this remains well below industry average performance, Matrix retains its commitment to a zero LTIFR and remains focussed on initiatives to reduce incidents in the future. The Matrix group generated sales revenue of $158.6 million, an increase of $13.1 million over the previous year, and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) of $18.6 million, an improvement of $11.1 million over the previous year. The Company reported a net profit after tax of $3.0 million marking a return to profitable operations for the Company. Cash flow from operations was similarly strong at $16.5 million, an improvement of $18.7 million over the previous year. A strong focus on working capital and cash management enabled Matrix to continue to aggressively reduce financial debt. It is pleasing to report adjusted net debt of only $6.4 million at year end with financial indebtedness
