Equipment sales to the construction sector in WA and NSW were particularly strong, by contrast new equipment sales to mining customers were lower than historical average and down 8% on year. The Companyâs other income increased by 26% mainly due to the $14 million in distributions from companyâs investment in an unlisted offshore media fund which was partially negated by the $3.6 million reduction in dividend income due to portfolio divestments and lower payout ratios from the portfolio. The Companyâs depreciation and amortization increased by $115 million in FY2018 which is reflecting the consolidated depreciation on Coatesâ rental fleet. Recently, the company proposed an offer of converting TELYS4 shares to ordinary shares at a price of $92.50 per share which is subject to a TELYS4 shareholder vote.
