How did PWR perform in FY20?
Earlier today, PWR released its financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
The report was headlined by an 8.1% increase in net profit after tax of $13.1 million for FY20. Additional highlights included a 7.4% lift in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $23.37 million and 9.3% surge in operating cash flow of $20.32 million. PWR reported relatively flat revenue of $65.73 million for FY20.
PWR labelled its performance in FY20 as relatively steady given the economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's performance was fuelled by a strong first half, with operations in the second half thrown into turmoil as a result of the pandemic.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, PWR reduced staff working days. As a result, the company utilised the JobKeeper program in Australia and Pay Check Protection in the United States. PWR noted that these programs provided $1.74 million and $1.77 million in wage and overhead relief respectively.
According to PWR, the stable result reflects the company's diversified revenue streams with growth of over 100% in emerging technologies and OEM customers. The company also noted that favourable currency exchange rates resulted in revenue for FY20 being slightly higher than FY19 despite the pandemic.
In addition, PWR's management assured shareholders that the company has a strong balance sheet boasting more than $20 million cash on hand. As a result, PWR declared a final, fully franked dividend for FY20 of 4 cents per share, a 42% increase from last year.
