Commentary
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The reviewed condensed provisional consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 28 February 2011 ("the year") have been prepared in accordance with
the recognition and measurement criteria of the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), the disclosure and presentation requirements of
IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 standards as issued by the
Accounting Practice Board, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and in
the manner required by the South African Companies Act. The accounting
policies and method of measurement and recognition applied in preparation of
these reviewed condensed provisional consolidated financial statements are
consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial statements for
the previous year ended 28 February 2010.
INTRODUCTION
The directors are pleased to present the condensed provisional consolidated
financial results for the year reflecting ongoing improvement and
diversification. The healthier financial results were driven in part by
strategic initiatives of previous years starting to yield benefits for the
group during the year while laying a solid foundation for the diversification
strategy.
ACQUISITION - Glen Douglas Dolomite (Pty) Limited
As previously reported the acquisition of Glen Douglas Dolomite (Pty) Limited
became unconditional with effect from 1 January 2011, following fulfilment of
all conditions precedent including approvals from the Department of Mineral
Resources.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the year increased by 9,8% to R854,5 million from R778,0 million.
Headline earnings grew by 4,9% translating into 3,9% higher headline earnings
per share ("HEPS") of 53,3 cents (2010: 51,3 cents). As a result of the BEE
transaction announced on 31 August 2009 and the impact on the group of the new
Mineral and Petroleum Resources Royalty Act effective 1 March 2010, HEPS was
reduced by 2,5% and 3,1%, respectively.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
`Mining & Aggregates` benefited from both increased volumes and solid
contracting activities throughout the year. Afrimat`s flexible service
delivery model utilising mobile equipment positioned the group to become a key
player in contracting. Certain projects were concluded during the year and
this division has successfully secured a number of new major roads contracts
in various regions, boding well for future growth. The slowdown in private
residential and commercial spend, especially in the Western Cape, severely
impacted the division`s margins for the year. However, since year-end some
improvement is noticeable.
`Readymix` continued to underperform due to a fall in volumes, severe
competition and intensifying margin squeeze in the Western Cape resulting from
the generally poor economy in the region. Sales volumes in KwaZulu-Natal were
adversely impacted by delays in government housing projects.
`Concrete Products` positively enjoyed increased volumes. Severe competition
was evident and selling prices and margins remained under pressure.
BUSINESS EXPANSION AND ACQUISITIONS
Diversification and new business development remain key components of the
group`s growth strategy. The dedicated business development team continues to
explore opportunities in existing markets as well as in areas where high
growth is projected.
DIVIDEND
A final dividend of 11,0 cents per share (2010: 10,0 cents) has been declared
for the year. This is in line with the group`s dividend policy of three times
cover. The total dividend (interim and final) for the year is 17 cents per
share (2010: 16 cents per share). (See "Dividend Declaration" below.)
B-BBEE STATUS
Existing BEE shareholders and Afrimat`s Black employees hold in aggregate
26,12% of Afrimat`s issued shares. Notwithstanding a fully empowered ownership
platform, the group remains dedicated to enhancing all aspects of B-BBEE
across the group on an ongoing basis.
PROSPECTS
The slow paced recovery of the business environment is expected to continue.
The group is set to benefit from its diversification strategy and investment
in industrial minerals through the acquisition of Glen Douglas as well as from
other new initiatives. This should lead to Mining & Aggregates` activities
continuing to dominate group results. Price competition and margin squeeze
will remain adverse factors in Readymix and Concrete Products.
Business improvement initiatives aimed at expanding volumes, reducing costs
and improving efficiencies will remain a key focus in all operations. These,
supported by ongoing diversification into attractive growth sectors such as
industrial minerals and open cast mining, should see volumes increase further.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Mr Gert Johannes Coffee was appointed as an executive director with effect
from 4 November 2010.
AUDITOR`S REVIEW
The condensed provisional consolidated financial statements for the year have
been reviewed by the company`s auditors, Mazars. Their unmodified review
opinion is available for inspection at the company`s registered office. Their
review was conducted in accordance with ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial
information performed by the independent auditor of the entity".
