Commenting on the Company's HY21 performance , GR Engineering's Managing Director , Mr Geoff Jones , said : " The first half of FY21 was characterised by heightened project and operations and maintenance activity across both the minerals processing and oil and gas services businesses . These increased levels of activity have generated strong revenue and earnings results during HY21 and this trend is expected to continue into the second half . GR Engineering has been able to successfully increase its pipeline of ongoing and near term prospective projects by being awarded significant contracts across a broad base of commodities , including precious metals , base metals and industrial minerals . This has resulted in increased visibility in revenue and earnings for the remainder of FY21 and in future years . The Company has maintained a strong balance sheet and it was pleasing to note the strong cashflow generation during HY21 which is expected to continue into the second half of the year and FY22 . This combined with the strong order book , leaves the Company well placed to continue to deliver returns to its shareholders . GR Engineering continues to navigate through the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic . Whilst providing challenges , the commitment and response of the team to COVID - 19 has been excellent .
