COMMENTARY
The directors of Insimbi are pleased to announce the audited results for the
year ended 28 February 2009.
1. Basis of Preparation
The audited abridged results have been presented in accordance with IAS 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted for purposes of
this report comply, and have been consistently applied in all material respects,
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The same accounting
policies and methods of computation have been followed as compared to the prior
year ended 29 February 2008. The results have been audited by BDO Spencer
Steward (JHB), whose unqualified audit report is available for inspection at the
company`s registered office.
2. Review of activities
The company listed on the JSE Limited`s Alternative Exchange ("AltX") on 14th
March 2008.
During the year, Insimbi Alloy Supplies (Proprietary) Limited acquired the
remaining 20% of the shares in Insimbi Aluminium Alloys (Proprietary) Limited
for zero value and now holds 100% of the company. It also acquired an off the
shelf company called Twin River Trading 103 (Proprietary) Limited on 26th
November 2008 with the intention of creating a bulk commodity trading operation
in partnership with a Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment partner. This
company changed it`s name to Insimbi Bulk Commodities (Proprietary) Limited but
due to the sudden downturn in global demand for ores and bulk commodities, the
project was shelved until such time as the market changes, at which stage, the
project will be re-evaluated.
On 4th February 2009, the executive directors of the listed company disposed of
a collective 15 million shares (equivalent to 5.76% of the issued share
capital), to Mayibuye Capital (Proprietary) Limited, a Black Economic
Empowerment company with a long standing relationship with the group and it`s
directors. This deal was facilitated by Nedbank as well as the directors
themselves who provided interest free vendor funding to Mayibuye for the
acquisition of these shares.
Insimbi continues to operate mainly out of its offices in Johannesburg and
Durban but has also focused on establishing its brand in the new office in
Kitwe, Zambia. The group bought it`s agent in Cape Town in March 2009, including
land and buildings comprising warehousing and offices, in Atlantis. The
acquisition of the agent provides Insimbi with a greater presence in the Western
Cape as well as some diversity of products which it previously did not deal in.
3. Financial Review
The financial year under review can be summarised in four quarters. The first
two quarters showed exceptional revenue, margins and volumes; the third quarter
showed signs of changes in the market as commodity prices came under pressure
and in some sectors, volumes started to shrink. In the last quarter, commodity
prices dropped sharply and demand declined further in these sectors. Many
production facilities extended their annual shut down periods into late January
as the traditional three weeks shut down, in many cases, doubled. This naturally
also had a negative effect on production volumes.
Record revenue of R 584 million and Profit After Tax of R 39 million were
achieved in the first half of the financial year, resulting in an interim
dividend of four cents per share, declared in September 2008. This exceptional
performance continued into the third quarter before commodity prices started to
show signs of strain.
Despite difficult trading conditions experienced during the final three months
of the financial year, compounded by the traditional shut-downs over the festive
season being extended by many companies, the business adapted to prevailing
market conditions and managed to maintain margins.
The increase in the cash position was attributable to strong working capital
management and solid profitability.
Revenue for the year was up by 8% on the previous year and margins of 14.5% were
well above the 9.3% achieved in the previous financial year
Working capital is firmly under control. Inventory and receivable levels were
reduced from R 75 million to R 73 million and from R 105 million to R 90
million respectively .
The unexpected severity of the slow down in the last quarter, as a result of the
drop in demand and subsequently a decline in commodity prices, impacted
negatively on revised forecasts that were announced in September 2008. However,
this does not detract from the fact that Insimbi has had an excellent year and
showed strong earnings per share, headline earnings per share, net asset value
and cash flow growth compared to the previous financial year. In fact the year
ending February 2009 produced the best results in the group`s 40 year history.
4. Operational Review
High commodity prices coupled with high demand, which was partly as a result of
Government`s continued focus on infrastructure upgrades, had a positive impact
on the business in the first nine months of the financial year. Weaker exchange
rates also contributed additional revenues and margin boosts.
The new aluminium plant initially experienced a few difficulties and only came
into operation in July 2008. This was mainly due to an upgrade of the plant that
consisted of a substantial rehabilitation as well as the introduction of
additional furnaces and fuel sources. The delay in production will, however,
pay dividends in the medium to long term as the process of rehabilitation has
increased the expected capacity of the plant by 30% to 1 200 tons per month.
The slowdown in the global market has forced Insimbi to become more focused on
skills and efficiency. We continue to offer a complete package, incorporating
supply and service to our customers in the most effective way. Many exciting
opportunities have become apparent in various areas of the business and we
continue to expand our acquisitive vision by looking at each prospect on a case
by case basis.
5. Market and Prospects
It is clear that the current world crisis will have a much bigger impact on the
South African economy than originally anticipated. The diversification of
Insimbi, the potential of a political solution in Zimbabwe, and opportunities
that have arisen out of the current economic situation will ensure that Insimbi
continues to prosper in the next financial year. There is no doubt, however,
that the 2009/2010 financial year will be a much more challenging year that we
have experienced for some time. We are focused on ensuring that volumes and
margins are maintained while keeping cost growth to a minimum. To this end,
various marketing and cost cutting strategies have been implemented. We have
also retained very tight control over working capital and our cash flow is
evidence of the success we continue to have in this area. There are signs of a
slow recovery in the market but it remains very volatile.
The Group`s Chief Executive Officer is positive about the South African economy
as well as the regional markets and opportunities. He is confident that, with
the new leadership in Government, the continuous infrastructures spend and 2010
approaching fast, Insimbi will position itself to be an even bigger player in
the future.
6. Special resolutions
At the annual General Meeting of members held on 23 September 2008 it was
resolved that the directors be authorised to re-purchase up to 10% of the
company`s shares subject to certain conditions.
On 18 November 2008 Insimbi Bulk Commodities (Proprietary) Limited changed its
name from Twin River Trading 103 (Proprietary) Limited.
On 9 May 2008 Insimbi Aluminium Alloys (Proprietary) Limited changed its name
from Sugar Creek Trading 199 (Proprietary) Limited.
7. Additions through Business Combinations
Insimbi Aluminium Alloys` newly acquired secondary aluminium smelter which was
acquired for R17,0 million effective 1 March 2008, initially experienced a few
difficulties and only came into operation in June 2008. In terms of IFRS3, the
acquisition of these assets is seen as a business combination. This company
generated revenues of R46,8 million and a loss after tax of R4,4 million. This
was mainly due to the delays in start up as a result of upgrades to the plant
that consisted of a substantial rehabilitation as well as the introduction of
additional furnaces and fuel sources. With these upgrades and improved
processes, the production capacity has increased from 900mt to 1 200mt of
finished product per month. The delays in production will pay dividends in the
medium to long term as the process of rehabilitation has increased the expected
capacity of the plant by 30%.
The increase in non-current assets is as a result of the investment by the
group, in this secondary aluminium smelter. During the process of upgrading the
plant and equipment, one furnace was impaired.
The current global melt down and the dire state of the global automotive
industry has had a severe impact on the performance of this entity but
management are confident that, as a low cost producer of various aluminium
alloys, it is well placed to react to market conditions as they change.
8. Post balance sheet events
Insimbi Alloy Properties (Proprietary) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Insimbi Refractory and Alloy Supplies Limited, acquired land and buildings
comprising warehousing and office space in Atlantis, from it`s long standing
agent, Global Material South Africa (Proprietary) Ltd for an amount of R6 000
000 million in March 2009.
