The Issuer

Lucas is a civil construction, infrastructure and resources contractor with a long standing track record of project delivery and relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors. This has assisted Lucas to complete thousands of varied civil construction, earthmoving and resources projects throughout Australia over the last four decades. The company is privately owned and was founded by the Lucas family in Adelaide.                                                       

Lucas’ focus is on supporting South Australian and Australian central and remote communities, having been a key participant in some of the state’s landmark civil construction projects such as the New Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Southern Express Way. The breadth of the company’s projects both historically and forecast is testament to its leading reputation as a Tier 2 contractor.

Lucas has demonstrated a stable earnings track record with strong EBITDA margins and historically maintained relatively stable earnings due to its core civil works business, while taking advantage of opportunities in resources.
