Commentary
Introduction
The audited condensed consolidated financial results for the group for the
year ended 28 February 2011 (`the year`) were impacted by tough trading
conditions in line with expectations. Slowing demand, particularly from the
construction industry, continued to pressure pricing and in turn, operating
margins.
Mazor`s expansion and diversification strategy continued with the group
acquiring 50% of Hulamin Building Systems (`HBS`) and 100% of Glass Unlimited
(through Compass Glass SA in Port Elizabeth) (see `Acquisitions` below).
Basis of preparation
The audited condensed consolidated annual financial results have been prepared
in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), IAS 34 and the Companies Act of South
Africa, 1973 and comply with the JSE Listings Requirements and the AC 500
standards. The accounting policies and methods of measurement and recognition
applied in the preparation of these audited condensed consolidated annual
financial results are consistent with those applied in the group`s most recent
audited annual financial statements for the previous year ended 28 February
2010.
The condensed consolidated annual financial statements have been audited by
the group`s auditors, Mazars. Their unqualified audit opinion is available for
inspection at the company`s registered office.
Group profile
Mazor Steel designs, supplies and erects structural steel frames.
Mazor Aluminium designs, manufactures and installs aluminium doors, windows,
shop fronts, facades and balustrades for major blue-chip construction groups.
Newly acquired HBS augments the division`s offering with a wide range of
fenestration systems and accessories.
The Glass division comprises Compass Glass and Compass Glass SA (incorporating
Glass Unlimited through the recent acquisition), which manufacture and
distribute laminated and toughened safety glass and double-glazed units.
The group has a strong national presence across Gauteng and the Eastern Cape
in addition to its historical base in the Western Cape.
Review of operations
Market conditions remained challenging. However, notwithstanding inflationary
and other increases in overheads, Mazor maintained capacity at substantially
lower costs than in the previous year. The slow-down in the construction
sector, and in particular in the leisure and retail construction industries,
contributed to a muted performance by the group`s contracting divisions. In
addition, prevailing trading conditions were not conducive to accessing and
penetrating new markets.
Mazor Steel managed to deliver a profit through its geographical presence
while Mazor Aluminium was more severely impacted by the downturn in the
construction industry and performed poorly. However, the newly acquired HBS
boosted Mazor Aluminium`s performance to an extent, having been successfully
turned around into a profit driver. The new products brought on stream by the
acquisition are improving volumes and proving profitable.
The Glass division continued to strengthen further, reducing operational
losses and posting commendable revenue growth. With increased investment in
new equipment and technology, and expansion in the Eastern Cape through a new
branch in East London, the division is well positioned to capitalise on future
growth opportunities. It is currently operating below capacity and is expected
to continue growing revenue going forward.
Financial results
Revenue declined 31.7% year on year to R186.8 million from R273.5 million due
mainly to reduced demand in the construction sector. Operating profit was down
96.3% to R1.7 million from R46.0 million, resulting in a 72.4% drop in
earnings per share to 8.2 cents per share compared to 29.7 cents for the
previous year.
Revenue in Mazor Aluminium and Mazor Steel declined 67.7% and 47%,
respectively. With margins squeezed, operating profit in these operations was
down 73.8% and 82.7%, respectively. The Glass division increased external
revenues by 47.4% to R92.9 million, and reduced operating losses by 20.6% to
R7.6 million.
Net asset value decreased from 193.6 cents per share in the previous year to
183.7 cents per share.
Acquisitions
As announced at the interim results, Mazor concluded two acquisitions during
the year. In April 2010 Mazor acquired the business of Glass Unlimited in Port
Elizabeth as a going concern. The purchase consideration comprised a cash
payment of R315 000 in respect of stock and fixed assets and the issue of 100
000 shares in the group. The acquisition enabled the group to further expand
its geographical footprint, particularly in the high growth region of the
Eastern Cape.
A 50% interest in HBS was acquired in April 2010 for a total consideration of
R32.6 million before elimination of an intra-group profit of R10 million. This
acquisition resulted in a joint venture. HBS markets and supplies a wide range
of fenestration systems to the South African residential, commercial and
industrial markets through branches in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and
Port Elizabeth.
Prospects
Conditions are expected to remain challenging in the short-term. There are
positive indications of an improvement in 2012 with a more solid upswing
expected in 2013. Initial signs of slow recovery are becoming evident. In this
light, and with the group`s prior investment in plant, stable capacity,
established capability and geographic spread, Mazor is well placed to benefit
from a recovery in the construction sector.
The group will continue to steer its overall product offering from manufacture
to materials supply where greater growth opportunities are anticipated.
The contracting arms have successfully exported a number of projects through
to Angola, Namibia and the Seychelles. The group continues to venture
cautiously into the African continent.
