Watershed year for SRG
Since its transformation from ASX listed Structural Systems Ltd to SRG, the company has looked to diversified its operations, providing multiple revenue streams and insulation against a possible cyclical trends in certain sectors.
This diversification strategy continued in fiscal 2018 as the company entered the asset maintenance sector through the acquisition of NZ based TBS Group in April 2018, a specialised infrastructure maintenance services provider that is a market leader with a strong recurring revenue base.
This is an important development for the group given that it operates in an industry that is sometimes characterised by large one-off contracts.
Generating regular income from the likes of maintenance, repair and inspection work can help to smooth out a lumpy workbook.
On June 12, 2018, SRG announced its intention to facilitate the largest corporate transaction it has undertaken with the proposed merger with Global Construction Services Limited (ASX:GCS).
Information about the proposed merger that included the independent expert concluding the scheme is in the best interests of SRG shareholders has been dispatched, and both SRG and GCS Boards recommend shareholders vote in favour of the proposed merger on August 22, 2018.
