New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 431% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Aug 30

Hanwha’s Indicative Proposal is subject to numerous conditions, including due diligence, various regulatory approvals including Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), the Committee on Foreign investment in the United States (CFIUS) and the US Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, final approval of the Hanwha Board, the unanimous recommendation of the Austal Board and Austal shareholder approval.

Hanwha's Bid for Austal Rejected by Target's Board South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Corporation (KOSE:A000880) is believed to have recently renewed its interest in takeover target Austal Limited (ASX:ASB), putting forward an indicative offer for the global shipbuilder and Defence prime contractor in recent weeks, likely to be more than $895 million. It is understood that the offer was at a premium of about 30% to Austal's share price at the time, and Hanwha was working with investment bank UBS as its adviser. However, the deal was not disclosed by the Austal board because of the high probability that the government would not grant permission for the business to take control of a group carrying out Defence contract work for the government. Austal signed an initial agreement with the government in November to establish a Strategic Shipbuilding Agreement between it and the commonwealth in which the company becomes Australia's naval ship builder in Western Australia. If a binding deal is signed, Austal will construct and deliver eighteen 50m steel-hulled landing craft vessels to the Army, to be constructed at Henderson, south of Perth, plus other large landing craft. While Hanwha is considered out of the question as an owner of Austal, with the Foreign Investment Review Board likely to block an acquisition based on security concerns, a US-based group may be more palatable, given Australia's relationship through AUKUS, a trilateral security partnership for the Indo-Pacific region between Australia, Britain and the US. Among the private equity firms that have taken a look at the business in the past are US-based private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management and Arlington Capital Partners. The US business is far larger and over time has been considered more attractive to suitors. But it has strict security restrictions, including a rule that no one from the parent company can attend sites without permission from the Pentagon. One possibility is that Austal demerges the US arm, sells it to private equity or relists its business in the US. Tillkännagivande • Mar 28

As a consequence, ASIC is seeking civil declarations that Austal contravened its continuous disclosure obligations as well as the relevant misleading and deceptive conduct provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth). The proceedings in relation to Mr. Singleton allege that he was involved in the Company's contravention of its continuous disclosure obligations and failed to discharge his duty to exercise due care and diligence in relation to matters concerning the disclosure of the earnings write back.
