Finance expense
Share based performance rights expense 1
At the half-year, Verbrec noted a trend of restricted capital spend and project deferrals from
its clients. This trend was the result of inflationary pressures, global political uncertainties and the
Australian Federal election. In addition, revenues were impacted in H2 FY2025 due to the
effects of Queensland Cyclone Alfred.
1 Share based performance rights expenses are initially forecast using probabilistic methods, including monte carlo
simulation and binomial option pricing models. The impacts were higher than typical due to over-performance
against the vesting criteria in the FY2024 measurement period, when compared to the forecast. The vesting tests
occur after the end of the relevant measurement period, thus over-performance against vesting-criteria in FY2024
results in an expense recognised in FY2025. Given that certain tranches of the Verbrec Limited Rights Plan have been
fully expensed in FY2025, proportionately less performance rights expense is forecast for future years.

These trends were temporary, and as macroeconomic uncertainties ease, it is expected that
client sentiment will improve. Verbrec expects it will be in a better position to execute its
opportunity pipeline in FY2026.
Improved Balance Sheet & Cash Position
Despite lower-than-expected revenue during the period, through prudent overhead controls
and profitable project execution, Verbrec has improved its balance sheet.
Verbrec increased its cash position to $7.1 million (FY2024: $4.6 million), has improved its net
asset position to $23.8 million (FY2024: $19.2 million) and has produced a net-cash position of
$2.3 million (FY2024: ($2.0) million).
With stable profit margins and a net cash position, the Board and CEO have a renewed focus
on allocating capital. This may include investments in organic and geographic growth and
investing in strategic acquisitions should an opportunity arise that complements Verbrec’s
services offering and expands its revenue, client-base and capability.
