COMMENTARY
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenue increased 79,4% to R2,14 billion and operating profit increased 121,7%
to R431,3 million from the corresponding prior period. Profit before tax
increased 103% to R416,8 million.
Earnings per share increased 112% to 180,9 cents with headline earnings per
share increasing 116,2% to 180,1 cents.
Group operating margin increased from 16,3% to 20,2% compared to the
corresponding prior year period.
The Group generated operating cashflows of R448,8 million before finance charges
and taxation.
Capital expenditure on fixed assets to the value of R244,6 million was incurred
during the year ended 29 February 2008.
Net cash inflow for the year ended 29 February 2008 was R582,9 million with
total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounting to
R660,2 million. The cash and cash equivalents balance includes proceeds from
shares issued of R379,5 million net of share issue expenses of R25,9 million.
The bulk of the R379,5 million has been allocated to pay for the cash portions
of the acquisitions detailed in the `post balance sheet events` section of this
announcement.
Expenses related to the share incentive scheme amounted to R14,4 million during
the period.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
The financial performance described above was achieved in spite of numerous
operational sites being affected by an unusual amount of rain days having a
negative impact on productivity and schedules.
Due to Raubex`s nature of business, the power supply constraints experienced
over the past few months had little impact on the Group`s operations. Raumix is
the only division affected and management pro-actively re-organised shifts
and necessary routine maintenance schedules to work around the load-shedding
programmes.
The share incentive scheme put in place for key staff, excluding executive
directors, has been well received and is proving to be an effective tool to
address staff retention and boost motivation levels.
Roadmac
Roadmac is a specialist in the manufacturing and the laying of asphalt, chip
and spray, surface dressing, enrichments and slurry seals.
Roadmac is the largest contributor to Group revenue and despite unusually high
rainfall in some areas, performance for the year has exceeded expectations. The
division is operating in a very favourable environment supported by a very
healthy order book. The acquisition of National Asphalt was successfully
integrated during the period and is performing above expectations.
Revenue for the division increased 82,9% to R1,25 billion (2007: R685,2 million)
and operating profit by 73,6% to R233,9 million (2007: R134,7 million).
The divisional margins decreased to 18,7% (2007: 19,7%) due to the effects of
the unusually high number of rain days experienced.
The division incurred capital expenditure of R76,2 million during the year(2007:
R40,5 million).
Raubex Construction
Raubex Construction is a road and civil infrastructure construction company
focused on the key areas of new road construction (green fields) and heavy road
rehabilitation.
Revenue for the division increased 8,8% to R520 million (2007: R477,9 million)
whilst operating profit increased 96,8% to R95,1 million (2007: R48,3 million).
This is as a result of existing low margin contracts coming to an end and the
effects of new higher margin contracts starting to come through in the second
half of the year.
The divisional margins improved strongly to 18,3% (2007: 10,1%).
The division incurred capital expenditure of R67,6 million during the year
(2007: R56,3 million).
Raumix
Raumix is the materials division of the Group with its core focus spread over
three areas including contract crushing, production of aggregates for the
commercial market and materials handling for the mining industry. The
acquisition of the SPH Group together with the Queenstown and Aliwal Quarries
were successfully integrated during the period. The significant variances in
divisional financial indicators are attributable to these acquisitions.
Revenue for the division increased 1 206% to R362,9 million (2007:
R27,8 million) and operating profit by 794% to R102,2 million (2007:
R11,4 million).
The divisional margins decreased to 28,2% (2007: 41,2%) as a result of the
acquisitions mentioned above.
The division incurred capital expenditure of R100,8 million during the period
(2007: R17 million).
PROSPECTS
The group`s order book stands at R2,7 billion (2007: R1,6 billion).
Industry players, including Raubex, are now seeing the results of the
government`s infrastructure investments filter through to the order book. More
recently, announcements such as the Gauteng road upgrade programme and plans to
upgrade various airports around the country have added to the strong basic
maintenance and rehabilitation pipeline already present. As mentioned
previously, opportunities around the Public Private Partnership market are also
becoming more tangible.
International activities remain small from a Group perspective and continue to
focus on Zambia. The pipeline in Zambia and neighboring countries is
above expectations and Raubex will maintain a cautious growth approach whilst it
gains valuable experience.
Through its strategy of acquisitive and organic growth, Raubex is now
positioned as a sizeable industry player with the skills and capacity to grow
the order book and meet the increasing demand for its line of work. In the
current market conditions, the Group expects to deliver a strong performance
in the year ahead.
