Morningstar | Spotless Integration Going Well and Growth in Road Construction Benefits Surfacing Business

Despite a highly supportive macroeconomic environment in the past decade, Downer EDI's financial results have been mixed, with strong profitability in one division often offset by losses in another. Downer has been unable to establish an economic moat. Lack of earnings stability and legacy issues have plagued the company. In the past, Downer has also underperformed from an operational perspective, but the firm now appears to have learned some hard lessons. However, Downer's mining services, infrastructure, and rail divisions are facing the effects of lower demand, project delays, and increased competition. In late October 2014, Downer acquired Tenix, a major provider of long-term operations and maintenance services to the power, gas, water, industrial, and resources sectors in Australia and New Zealand. In April 2017, it bought facilities manager Spotless Group.
