NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cashbuild is southern Africa`s largest retailer of quality building materials
and associated products, selling direct to a cash-paying customer-base through
our constantly expanding chain of stores (183 at the end of this reporting
year). Cashbuild carries an in-depth quality product range tailored to the
specific needs of the communities we serve. Our customers are typically home-
builders and improvers, contractors, farmers, traders, large construction
companies and government-related infrastructure developers, as well as all other
customers requiring quality building materials at lowest prices.
Cashbuild has built its credibility and reputation by consistently offering its
customers quality building materials at the lowest prices and through a
purchasing and inventory policy that ensures customers` requirements are always
met.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The group is reporting its audited results in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue for the year increased by 25% whilst profit increased by 11%. Basic
earnings per share, as well as headline earnings per share improved by 10%. Net
asset value per share has shown a 24% increase, from 1 825 cents (June 2008) to
2 265 cents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 9% to R348 million. This
decrease was as a result of an amount of R55 million being paid to suppliers
before the year-end cut-off (normalised 6% increase).
Stores in existence since the beginning of July 2007 (pre-existing stores)
accounted for 18% of the increase in revenue with the remaining 7% increase due
to the 22 new stores the group has opened since July 2007. The increase for the
year has been achieved by good revenue growth during the first three quarters of
the financial year with 4th quarter growth slightly lower in percentage terms.
As mentioned in the fourth quarter update, the reductions in the price of steel
in several months resulted in the prices of steel related products decreasing
accordingly. Steel related products are a large portion of Cashbuild`s business
and this, together with the high level of stock-holding, had a short-term
severely negative effect on gross margins, resulting in gross profit margins for
the year decreasing in percentage terms to 21% (June 2008: 21.6%), but in rand
terms, increasing by a pleasing 22%.
Operational expenses for the year remained well controlled with existing stores
accounting for 17% of the increase and new stores 9%. The total increase for the
year amounted to 26%. The main contributor to the higher than inflation increase
on existing stores, is the continued investment in people to maintain and
improve customer service standards, as well as intensive customer-focused
advertising, undertaken in the run-up to and during the Christmas trading
period.
The effective tax rate for the year of 31% is in line with that of the previous
year.
Cashbuild`s balance sheet remains solid. Stock levels have increased by 9%. This
increase is attributable to the stocking of 13 additional stores since the
previous year-end (accounting for an increase of 10%), with existing stores
decreasing by 1%. Overall stockholding at 84 days (June 2008: 87 days) showed an
improvement on the position as at June 2008. Management of stock will remain a
focus area for the year to come. Trade receivables remain well under control.
During the year Cashbuild opened 13 new stores. Three stores were closed (in
towns where two stores were trading in close proximity). Four stores were
refurbished and four relocated. Cashbuild will continue its store expansion,
relocation and refurbishment strategy in a controlled manner.
PROSPECTS
Management remains optimistic about the top line trading prospects for the next
quarter based on the fact that the first nine trading weeks since year-end have
reported an increase in revenue of 10% on that of the comparable nine weeks.
Gross margins are expected to remain under pressure for the next quarter.
