UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2010
AND DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT
- Revenue of R 412 million
- Gross profit of R 51 million
- Cash generative with good cash management
- Effective working capital management
- Dividend declaration number four of 2c per share
"We are very pleased with the much improved performance in what has proven to be
more buoyant but still very volatile market. The improved market conditions,
including commodity price increases and higher demand, coupled with our
continued focus on effective working capital and cash-flow management has all
contributed to our improved performance.
Indications are that the next six months will continue to be volatile and we
expect some decreases in demand for certain commodities. The strong Rand is
affecting manufacturing in certain sectors and this could slow the economic
recovery in these sectors, so we expect that there are some challenges still
lying ahead. Despite this, the Group remains optimistic about it`s prospects and
we maintain our strong position in our target markets. We are also very excited
by the acquisition of Metlite and Metalloy Fibres and with the continued
economic recovery, we believe we will be able to optimise our full potential,"
said Pieter Schutte (Chief Executive Officer)

Overview
While our trading environment has definitely improved, it is still very volatile
and challenging but Insimbi produced a solid performance for the six months
ended 31 August 2010. This can be mainly attributed to:
Price increases on some commodities
Improved market conditions and demand
Effective management of working capital
It is worth noting that the unusual market conditions of the preceding 2 years,
have subsided and while certain commodities are still under pressure with regard
to pricing and demand, markets have stabilized in certain sectors and this has
contributed to our improved performance.
Financial Performance
Group revenue for the period was R412 million compared to R305 million for the
corresponding period last year, a 35.1% increase in revenues. This improved
performance was achieved on the back of recovering markets and commodity prices.
The group has also continued to diversify our portfolio and product offering and
focus on our continued high quality service offering, to our client base.
Demand for our products has increased when compared to the corresponding period
ended 31 August 2009, with the exception of our Rotary and Refractory divisions
which have historically lagged the steel and foundry cycles by up to 6 months.
A consolidated gross margin of R51 million for the period was achieved compared
to R38 million during the same period last year. This is a 34.3% increase in
gross margin and margins have remained resilient at 12.4% when compared to 12.5%
for the same period last year. This is very pleasing when one considers the
comparative strength of the rand during the period under review when compared to
the same period last year.
Consolidated operations and administration costs have increased by R15.5 million
to R37.8 million as a result of the following:
- Overheads associated with the acquisition of Metlite and Metalloy Fibres
- Goodwill impairment
- Consolidation of Insimbi Thermal Insulation (Pty)Ltd previously equity
accounted
- Professional Fees
- Lower overhead recoveries
Other than items highlighted above operating costs have in general, been well
controlled. Staff costs remain consistent with the previous period.
Group operating profit for the period was R28.8 million compared to R15.7
million for the corresponding period, an 84.2% increase in operating profit on
the previous corresponding period.
Insimbi achieved earnings and headline earnings per share of 6.57 cents and 3.43
cents per share respectively compared to 2.61 cents and 2.62 cents per share
respectively, in the previous comparative period. This is a 151.7% and 30.9%
increase on the previous comparative period, respectively.
Working capital management and cash-flow has remained a key focus for Insimbi
and we have responded to changing market conditions effectively. This has
ensured strong cash-flows throughout the period with cash generated from
operations of R11.5 million compared to R2.4 million in the previous interim
period. No Dividends were declared or paid during the 6 months ending 31 August
2010. Finance costs have reduced from R4.95 million to R4.48 million for the
interim periods ended 31 August 2009 and 2010, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents at 31 August 2010 were R36.5 million compared to R16.8
million at 31 August 2009, an improvement in cash position of R19.7 million.
As a consequence of effective working capital management, there were no
provisions for doubtful debt during the period under review. Long term Group
debt was reduced by R18.6 million to R38.9 million at 31 August 2010.
Operational Review
Insimbi has remained cash generative throughout the volatile period under review
due to the Group`s diverse product offering, continued profitability and
attention to working capital.
The steel, foundry and non-ferrous divisions have showed strong signs of
recovery although there is still some uncertainty in these markets. However we
remain confident that the recovery will be sustainable.
The cement industry has experienced difficult trading conditions but we did
anticipate this and budgeted accordingly for the current financial year.
Infrastructure spend continues to be disappointing but expectations in the
market are that this will accelerate in the short term. Commodity prices in
general are showing strong recovery although this has been offset to a small
degree, by the strength of the Rand.
The Insimbi Group is committed to BBEEE and is currently rated as a Level 7
contributor. We continue to strive for a higher rating and believe this is
achievable in time.
Post balance sheet event
No material fact or circumstance existed post balance sheet date that affects
the results being reported.
Prospects
Although market conditions have improved in the first half of 2010, indications
are that the next six months will continue to be volatile and challenging in
certain market sectors. The strong rand is having a negative effect on certain
industries and we have seen some reduction in demand for certain commodities, as
a result. Notwithstanding this, Insimbi remains focused on expanding it`s
"basket" of products and remaining as the market leader in the ferro-alloys,
refractories and mechanical maintenance arenas. Cost and working capital
management, remain a priority as well.
As a group, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions in various
industries like the recent Metlite and Metalloy Fibres acquisitions which will
bring synergies and added value to the group.
Business combinations
Insimbi Alloy Supplies (Proprietary) Limited ("Insimbi Alloys") and Insimbi
Alloy Properties (Proprietary) Limited ("Insimbi Properties"), both wholly owned
subsidiary companies of Insimbi, have concluded separate agreements whereby,
with effect from 13 July 2010, they respectively acquired, the entire issued
share capitals of and claims on loan accounts against Metlite Alloys and
Metlite Properties.
The acquired businesses contributed revenues of R 14,2 million and net profit
after tax of R 742 000 to the group for the period from acquisition to 31 August
2010.
