Page 3 PRESIDENT'S REPORT Hi everyone and welcome to our AGM. As you will have been aware there have been huge changes at the Station and I would like to just take a few moments to put things into perspective. We have lived through what is probably the fastest changing dynamic the world has ever seen and the momentum is growing. When I grew up all we had was radio and we listened faithfully to all the programmes as there was only one Station – the BBC in England and the ABC here. I worked at the BBC in the 50s and we had the huge tapes that I recognised when I came to 4RHP about 12 years ago. My first training on a computer was in the mid 70s and that was at one of the first companies to use computers. All very strange to us. The machines were big and bulky and the computer had a whole room to itself. We slowly got used to that and when I opened my own business in the early 80s we had home computers and can you believe it a mobile phone that was huge.

  • 2020 Highlight Its Significantly Improved Balance Sheet and Strong Cash Flow, Along with Continuing Or Growing Demand for SCA’S Core Audio Products
    For personal use only Year In Review SCA’s results in FY2020 highlight its significantly improved balance sheet and strong cash flow, along with continuing or growing demand for SCA’s core audio products. Despite the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SCA and broadcast media more broadly, there has been progressive improvement in revenues since May 2020. Excluding AASB 16 (Leases) FY2020 FY2020 Comparison to FY20191 Revenue $540.2M $540.2M $661.0M (18.2%) Expenses ($432.6M) ($447.8M) ($513.6) (12.8%) EBITDA $108.2M $93.0M $147.4M (36.9%) NPAT $25.1M $29.7M ($91.4M) N.m. Underlying NPAT - $35.8M $73.9M (51.6%) Net Debt $131.6M $131.6M $292.6M (55.0%) 1 Underlying amounts in FY2019 exclude the impact of one-off restructuring charges of $3.3 million and non-cash significant items, comprising the impairment of $158.9 million N.m. Not meaningful (net of tax) in relation to the Group’s regional television licences and the loss of $9.2 million on broadcast transmission assets held for sale on 30 June 2019. Despite the challenges presented by weak advertising markets and the COVID-19 pandemic, SCA traded profitably in all four quarters of the year. This was the result of disciplined cost control, as well as a prompt and effective response to maintain operations with the majority of our people working safely from home. The Company also appreciated support received during the year from shareholders, lenders, and Government and regulatory agencies. Consumption of SCA products, particularly digital audio, has grown during the pandemic.
