Safair Technical (Proprietary) Limited ("Safair Technical"), the aircraft maintenance business, performed poorly with a R22.6 million attributable headline loss. - Group revenue increased by 4.6% supported by higher passenger volumes and higher yields in tough market conditions; - Safair Technical incurring a R22.6 million headline loss compared to a R8.1 million headline loss in 2009; - airport charges for ACSA and ATNS increased by 36% increasing airport charges by R40 million; and - average fuel prices increased by 9.7% for the year costing the Company an additional R36 million. Cash flow generated from operations remained strong at R145.0 million and was mostly used to acquire aircraft and reduce debt. The continued strengthening of the Rand to the US Dollar is reflected in the impairment loss in the income statement which relates to the US Dollar based aircraft valuations. This is partly offset by the translation currency gains earned on foreign debt. 1TIME AIRLINE The airline increased gross revenue by 10.3% from R1 040 million in 2009 to R1 148 million in 2010 despite difficult trading conditions. The airline maintained its status as the fastest growing airline for seven years in a row increasing passenger volumes by 6.7% from 1 800 000 in 2009 to 1 921 000 in a flat market. Capacity increased by only 5% to increase the average load factor to 82%. The African growth strategy has proved successful with the Zanzibar, Livingstone and Maputo routes all performing well along with the eight domestic destinations currently serviced by 1time. The 2010 FIFA World Cup had no material impact on airline earnings for the period. While demand increased in June and July this was fully offset by abnormally poor demand during May and August. Revenue growth for 2011 will be focused on growth on current routes, expanding into Africa as and when these rights become available and introducing air services from Lanseria airport subject to market conditions. 1time charters division 1time charters performed well during the World Cup offering charter air services to foreign supporters, groups and tour operators. Fleet capacity in the second half was however constrained as the fleet was deployed towards our African growth strategy in the airline. 1time holidays division 1time holidays increased revenue from R4.2 million in 2009 to R14.9 million in 2010. Further revenue growth is expected during 2011 particularly as we focus on selling holiday packages to our African destinations that are currently serviced by 1time. Aircraft fleet The airline operates a fleet of twelve standardised MD80 aircraft operating over 1300 flights a month. Our fleet review process included international comparatives and has indicated that the MD80 type aircraft continues to offer the lowest seat kilometer cost in the domestic market combined with a premium carrier service experience. A longer term fleet renewal plan is being investigated and the Group is currently in talks with the major aircraft manufacturers. SAFAIR TECHNICAL Management plans and expectations at Safair Technical were not realized during the year. The R22.6 million headline attributable loss is due to a variety of factors: - Continued strengthening of the Rand has severely impacted operating margins as most revenue is charged in US Dollars. - once off costs incurred relating to an employee reduction programme reducing head count from over 700 at the start of the 2010 financial year to under 500 by year end. - third party maintenance revenue which was expected during the final quarter of 2010 was only realised in the first quarter of 2011.
Management has implemented various measures to restore profitability for 2011. These include: - strict staff cost controls and managing headcount on a "fit for purpose" basis; - renegotiating loss making maintenance contracts; and - concluding an Letter of intent ("LOI") with Safair Operations (Proprietary) Limited ("Safair Operations") subsequent to year end in terms of which debt is significantly reduced to achieve interest and rental costs savings as noted under subsequent events. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed financial statements, which are based on reasonable judgments and estimates, are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the disclosure requirements of IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009. These audited consolidated condensed financial statements as set out in this report comply with the Companies Act, 1973 (Act 61 of 1973), as amended, and the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited. AUDIT OPINION These condensed consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2010 have been audited by the Groups auditors, SAB&T Chartered Accountants Incorporated and their unqualified audit report is available for inspection at 1time`s registered office. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS BEE transaction As announced on SENS on 7 March 2011, the Company concluded a BEE transaction with Oakleaf Investments 59 (Proprietary) Limited ("Oakleaf") (incorporating Mtha Aviation (Proprietary) Limited ("Mtha") and SKMT Sunrise Investment Group (Proprietary) Limited ("Sunrise")) effective 2 March 2011 in terms of which Oakleaf subscribed for 70 million ordinary shares in 1time for cash at 70.16202 cents per share, raising R49.1 million cash for the Group. The BEE transaction represents a 25% BEE equity stake in 1time. Mtha Aviation is an aviation focused group, headed by Busiwe Maqungo. The capital raised from the BEE Transaction will be deployed towards the 1time airline`s growth strategies. Our solid BEE credentials place the airline in a good position to acquire rights to further African routes. We are particularly pleased that Sipho Twala, our Chairman and founding shareholder of 1time has also participated in the BEE transaction through his directorship at Sunrise. Safair Technical restructuring The Company has concluded a LOI with Safair Operations (owners of 28% of Safair Technical) in terms of which Safair Operations assume responsibility for R51.8 million of Safair Technical`s debt in exchange for the cession of certain lease agreements and the sale of assets at book value. The transaction significantly improves gearing in the Group and is earnings enhancing. BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board is pleased to welcome Blacky Komani as a non executive director and Busiwe Maqungo as an executive director to the 1time board effective 4 March 2011. Blacky brings a wealth of leadership expertise in the travel and tourism sector while Busiwe fills a key role in achieving human resource development and transformation objectives. DIVIDEND POLICY The Board has adopted a dividend policy of a minimum of eight times cover moving into the 2011 financial year. This has resulted from the successful BEE Transaction as detailed in the Subsequent Events paragraph above PROSPECTS For the airline we expect a tough trading environment for 2011. High oil prices will put pressure on yields which will in turn negatively impact overall market volumes. We are confident however that our low cost advantage will enable us to continue offering the lowest prices and best service. Further passenger growth is expected on current routes and new services into Lanseria and Africa. Cost savings achieved in Safair Technical will be the main driver to achieve a significant improvement in 2011. While the high oil prices and strong Rand environment is expected to place margins under pressure during 2011 we are pleased that the BEE Transaction and Safair Technical restructuring combined with our low cost advantage places the Group in a strong position for 2010.
