19 Strategic business review 19

20 Strategic business review The strategic business review initiated by the Board during FY12 was concluded in 2H The review formed part of an ongoing consolidation program designed to streamline operations, enhance competitive positioning and create sustainable shareholder value. During FY13 the review focused on: Exiting non-performing business units. Eliminating property debt. Reducing future operating costs without compromising long-term performance. 20

21 Closure of Qld & Vic Civil businesses Poor historical financial returns, changing market conditions and tightening competition resulted in a review of the Group s east coast civil operations during FY13. As a result, Watpac has withdrawn from the civil contracting market along Australia s east coast and has closed its civil operations in Qld and Vic. In the future, strategic civil-related opportunities in these regions may still be pursued with support from the Group s core continuing operations, however will not be delivered as part of the now discontinued Qld and Vic civil businesses. 21

22 Property asset sales strategy A number of property assets were brought to market during FY13, achieving $124M in sales and eliminating the Group s property debt: Newstead Circle, Brisbane Rue de Chapel residential development, Melbourne Anchorage site, Hervey Bay 9.69ha development site at the Kingston Industrial Estate, Brisbane The Luxton site, Melbourne Addison Quays site, Brisbane 435 St Paul s Terrace site, Brisbane Five hectare land parcel, Rochedale Town Centre Coolum Industrial Park (part) Coolum Retail (part). Asset sales strategy will continue in FY14 to recycle equity capital back into the Group s core businesses. 22

23 Property asset carrying value movement $250M $212M $18M $121M $200M $150M $14M $95M $100M $50M $- Carrying value 30/06/12 Net development costs Disposals (net of development profit) Impairment Carrying value 30/06/13 Property assets represented a book value of 51.5 cents per share at 30 June

24 Overhead costs Overhead costs were too high, reflective of high growth strategy adopted a number of years ago. Cost structure no longer appropriate as: two business units were to be closed; and tighter operating environment with margin pressure across all of the Group s operations. All overhead costs attributable to closed Qld and Vic civil business units have been either eliminated or subject to a specific closeout plan in early FY14 provisions taken in FY13. Substantial work completed in FY13 to ensure the Group was appropriately positioned from 1 July Benefits to flow in FY14. 24

25 Inside the organisation 25

26 Board of Directors Following the acquisition of a substantial interest in Watpac, BESIX Group CEO and Chairman, Mr Johan Beerlandt was appointed a Director. Mr Beerlandt brings extensive contracting and management experience to the Watpac Board. The Directors remain committed to a Board rejuvenation plan further new appointments expected in the near term. Mr Kevin Seymour has indicated his intention to retire as a Director of Watpac in September

27 Senior Executives Watpac operates a flat and agile management team, with interaction and responsiveness to clients being a major competitive advantage. The Group Senior Executive Team (GSET) was restructured following the appointment of Mr Martin Monro as CEO in August The GSET is strongly committed to the execution of Board strategies and was integral to the achievement of those strategies in FY13. Refreshed GSET is focused on enhancing value across all levels of the business. 27

28 Outlook 28

29 Construction outlook The composition of the construction forward order book is reasonably well spread from a geographical perspective. The business continues to deliver quality construction services across a number of high profile projects across Qld, NSW, Vic and SA. Forward work-in-hand position is adequate ($823M as at 30 June 2013) but the sector remains under pressure. Currently in a low margin environment pre contract diligence vitally important and supported by new Risk Management Framework. Watpac continues to identify and participate in a number of tendering activities, which are expected to contribute positively to future earnings. 29

30 National Mining & WA Civil outlook Well positioned in the mining sector, with strong credentials in mining iron ore, gold and mineral sands. Working with clients to achieve optimal outcomes a key business objective. Significant repeat work from established clients. Forward work-in-hand position of $519M as at 30 June National approach to contract mining services will allow for greater agility in resource-rich markets and geographies. Civil operations in WA continue to perform well, with work progressing on major projects in FY14. Focused on consolidating current projects and maximising returns. 30

31 Property outlook Rebalanced property portfolio valued at approximately $95 million as at 30 June 2013 and includes: Waterloo Stages II, III and IV in Brisbane. Centra Park Industrial Estate in Coolum on the Sunshine Coast. Retail tenancies at Rue de Chapel in Melbourne. Property asset sales will continue in FY14 to return capital to the Group for redeployment into existing businesses. Almost $60 million in property asset sales targeted in FY14. 31

32 Remuneration report Continued to progress three-year program of change to Watpac s executive remuneration strategy. New Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) established in FY13 to operate for the first time in FY14. This follows the establishment of a new Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) in FY12, which operated for the first time in FY13. Ernst & Young re-engaged as Group Remuneration Advisors. Both STIP and LTIP market-based in their operation. Moving to structure whereby more remuneration is at-risk. 32
