OVERVIEW
The results for the six month period have been affected by volatile currency
fluctuations and the challenging local and global market conditions. The impact
of current market conditions was felt in the Tourism and Travel sector of the
group. The Marine and Boating divisions have been largely unaffected by the
economy as yet, with the long lead time in boat building meaning the order books
are still strong. Cash flow has declined due to the acquisition of Central
Boating in October paid out of cash reserves, while the Outbound division which
receives payment in advance has seen a shorter booking lead time. This has
resulted in reduced cash inflows. Cash flows have now stabilised and are
expected to improve in the future.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Thompsons Holidays (the Outbound division)
The Outbound division is a wholesale supplier of travel-related products and
holidays to the South African market. The domestic travel market has continued
to be affected by the volatile Rand, high interest rates and inflation and
concerns over the global economy. This resulted in a slow down of sales
especially in the first quarter. Sales appear to have improved slightly in the
second quarter. The division continues to focus on maximising sales
opportunities, while managing costs and increasing efficiencies. Results for the
business are expected to improve as a result of steps by the company to reduce
costs and improve efficiencies.
Thompsons Africa (the Inbound division)
The Inbound division is a tour wholesaler and destination marketing organisation
that sells Africa to the world. The business has been affected by the slow down
in worldwide tourism especially out of the traditional UK and European markets.
The business continues to trade profitably as a result of steps taken over the
last 18 months to improve efficiency in expectation of this slow down.
Thompsons Touring and Safaris
The Touring division provides tourism products for the Incoming division. These
include escorted tours, general sightseeing and open vehicle game drives in the
National Parks which are offered throughout Southern Africa. Turnover and
profits have declined slightly this year although cost control measures have
minimised the effect on profit.
Thompsons Travel
Thompsons Travel is a retail travel agency with offices in Johannesburg, Cape
Town and Durban. The Corporate division has been less affected by the downturn
and continues to trade profitably. The Leisure division has been harder hit and
the company is taking steps to resolve this.
Pentravel
Pentravel is a chain of 23 retail travel outlets located in the major shopping
malls throughout South Africa. The division has seen a drop in sales but
increased margins have meant that the profitability is substantially higher than
last year.
Hylton Ross Tours
Hylton Ross Tours operates coaches and vehicles for hire and charter in the
domestic travel market and also provides day tours in and around the Western
Cape and the Garden Route. It is a well-known brand in the travel market and
enjoys a substantial market share in the Western Cape. The company focuses on
the International Market and has been affected by the drop in Inbound Tourism.
However stringent cost management has meant that the division has generated a
profit marginally below last year.
Thompsons Gateway
Gateway, a sales office in Singapore, has seen a sharp decline in sales out of
its markets in South East Asia. The office continues to look for opportunities
and does have a number of large Incentive Groups in the second half of the year
which will improve the sales outlook.
Planet Africa
Planet Africa is a joint venture operation formed to sell and market Southern
Africa to Far Eastern tourists. In spite of a slow down in volumes, the division
continues to trade profitably.
Manex
Manex is a supplier to the yacht building industry as well as a distributor of a
number of leading brands in the Scuba Diving and Leisure sector. The replacement
of management in late 2008 has resulted in a noticeable improvement in
profitability and working capital management and the business is well placed for
the future.
Central Boating
The company purchased Central Boating with effect from 1 October 2008. Central
Boating is a marine leader in the importation and distribution of leisure marine
equipment to both the yachting and power boat sectors of the market in South
Africa. The company has met profit expactations for the period.
Prospects
Difficult market conditions remain an ongoing challenge for management. The
group continues to look at increasing efficiency and managing costs while
maximising all sales opportunties. The group is well placed to take advantage of
improvements in the global economy and in particular for the 2010 World Cup.
