OVERVIEW
The results for the six month period show a substantial improvement on 2009.
Although sales continue to be affected by the general economic malaise, the
measures taken in the last twelve months to improve product and efficiency and
manage overheads have resulted in improved performance in the Travel & Tourism
businesses.
As anticipated, the Marine businesses have struggled in the period under review
as the effects of the economic slowdown really took hold in this period.
Fortunately, steps taken in anticipation of this have allowed us to manage this
slowdown and mitigate the effect.
Cash flow was healthy in the period with cash of R29 million generated from
operating activities. The cash generated was utilised to settle long-term
borrowings based upon expected strong cash generation going forward as well as
to recapitalise and improve fleet in both Hylton Ross Tours and Thompsons
Touring and Safaris.
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 remains soft,
affected by the volatile Rand and concerns over the global economy. In mid
2009, steps were taken to improve sales while concentrating on managing costs
and generally improving control within the business. These steps have resulted
in improvement in performance although we believe there is still room for
future gains.
Thompsons Africa (the Inbound division)
The Inbound division is a tour wholesaler and destination marketing
organisation that sells Africa to the world. Sales continue to be affected by
the slowdown in worldwide tourism although the trend is reversing and business
is showing improved growth over 2009. The steps taken over the past eighteen
months to improve efficiency have resulted in a good performance for the period
and the business is well placed for the future.
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 increased
for the period and with effective cost management has resulted in improved
performance for the six month period.
Thompsons Travel
Thompsons Travel is a Corporate and Retail travel agency with offices in
Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The Corporate division has been less
affected by the downturn but continues to trade profitably. The performance of
the Leisure division has improved over 2009 as a result of concentration on
improved value and service and better cost management.
Pentravel
Pentravel is a chain of 23 retail travel outlets located in major shopping
malls throughout South Africa. The division has seen an increase in sales as a
result of the focus on service and value and the business continues to manage
costs well.
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 business is trading
well and is continually investing in and improving its fleet.
Thompsons Gateway
Gateway, a sales office in Singapore, has seen a decline in sales out of its
markets in South East Asia. This is due to the global economic downturn and to
the strength of the Rand.
Planet Africa
Planet Africa is a joint venture operation formed to sell and market Southern
Africa to Far East tourists. In spite of a slowdown 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 business
has been affected by pressure on margins and turnover.
Central Boating
Central Boating is a market leader in the importation and distribution of
leisure marine equipment to both the yachting and power boat sectors of the
market in South Africa. Consistent with Manex, the business has been affected
by the global economy and has seen pressure on margins.
Prospects
Difficult market conditions remain an ongoing challenge for management with the
impact of the World Cup still to be seen. Despite these difficult market
conditions, the Company is cautiously optimistic about its business prospects
over the next twelve months.
