The result was up 18.7 per cent on the second half of the 2020 financial year as the industry steadily recovered from the initial impact of COVID - 19 , and was an increase of 11.2 per cent on the same period last year . The Engineering Construction division reported revenue of $ 460.3 million , a 68 per cent increase on the prior corresponding period , with work progressing strongly on a significant number of resource construction projects which had experienced COVID - 19 related delays in the first half of the 2020 calendar year . The Maintenance and Industrial Services division reported revenue of $ 491.5 million , down 15.9 per cent on the prior corresponding period . Maintenance activity levels early in the period were lower than usual as the industry steadily regained momentum after the initial impact of the pandemic , as well as from the effects of reduced levels of demand within the oil and gas sector . Net profit after tax for the period was $ 31.6 million , with the Board of Directors declaring an interim dividend of 24 cents per share fully franked . Despite the unique challenges brought about by COVID - 19 , Monadelphous continued to win new work , during the period securing approximately $ 360 million of new contracts and contract extensions , most notably in the iron ore sector . A large volume of project developments in execution phase together with the resumption of work scopes which were deferred earlier in 2020 and a strong appetite from customers to maximise production has seen activity levels in the iron ore sector ramp up significantly . The Company's 12 - month total recordable injury frequency rate ( TRIFR ) substantially improved during the period to 3.12 incidents per million hours , representing a decrease of 16.1 per cent . This improvement was supported by the implementation of a significant number of health and safety initiatives , including a number of systems improvements and activities to reinforce line - of - fire fatal risk controls . With the skilled labour market expected to tighten further from heightening levels of demand and unpredictable interstate border restrictions , the Company progressed a range of key talent retention , management and attraction initiatives . While the global economic outlook in the wake of COVID - 19 remains uncertain , the resources sector is expected to provide a steady flow of opportunities for Monadelphous over coming years , with the outlook for Australian iron ore investment particularly solid . Ongoing capital and operating expenditure required to sustain the high levels of production in this sector will drive strong and steady demand for engineering construction and maintenance services . 1 Includes Monadelphous ' share of joint venture revenue - refer to page 10 for reconciliation Page 1
