Overview
The year ended February 2011 proved to be a very volatile and sometimes
challenging period for the Insimbi group. This was especially true for the
second half of the financial year from 1st September 2010 to 28 February 2011,
where we experienced one of our worst November to January periods that current
management can recall. Much of the optimism that was experienced in the first
half of the year to 31 August 2010 was replaced with more conservative and
realistic expectations as a result of conditions prevailing during this period.
These included a strong currency, increased competition from relatively cheaper
imports and general uncertainty within much of our economy. Despite this
challenging environment, Insimbi remained profitable and cash-flow positive
throughout the year under review and while the full year`s results were
disappointing based on what we experienced in the first six months, we are
satisfied that we have yet again proven the resilience of our unique and diverse
business in difficult circumstances.
Financial Performance
Group revenue for the period was R732.4 million compared to R611.6 million for
the corresponding period last year, a 19.8% increase in revenues. This improved
performance was achieved on the back of recovering markets and commodity prices
although the increasingly prevalent imported products from the East, have
certainly impacted on our margins. The group`s focus remains on providing a
superior service offering to our diverse client base as well as increasing our
product range in all of our target markets i.e. steel, foundry and refractory
based industries.
Demand for our products has generally increased although the Refractory segment
is still lagging in recovery. The Foundry segment was faced with widespread
closures of individual foundries during the period under review and this was
mainly as a result of the strong rand and the impact of cheap imports of Asian
origin. The Steel segment fared much better than in the previous year but it was
still a very volatile sector subject to month to month unpredictability. A
consolidated gross margin of R89.8 million for the period was achieved compared
to R76.8 million during the same period last year. This is a 16.9% increase in
gross margin and despite the impact of the strong rand, margins have remained
resilient at 12.3% when compared to 12.6 % 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 and can be
attributed to increased focus on margins and the inclusion of some higher margin
products into our product "basket".
Most cost increases have been acceptable, around CPIX. Legal fees increased as a
result of a reckless trading action that we have instituted. This is against the
directors of a company in liquidation which debt of R1.0 million, was written
off in Insimbi`s results in the year ending 2009. Over and above these, the
large increase in expenditure when compared with the previous period can be
attributed mainly to the overheads relating to the acquisition of Metlite Alloys
(Pty) Ltd.
Group operating profit for the period was R24.6 million compared to R26.7
million for the corresponding period, a 8.2 % decrease.
Insimbi achieved earnings and headline earnings per share of 4.62 cents and 3.90
cents per share respectively compared to 4.12 cents and 4.13 cents per share in
the previous comparative period. This is a 12.1% increase in earnings per share
on the previous year. Headline earnings per share dropped by 5.6%.
Working capital management and cash-flow has continued to be a key focus area
for Insimbi and we have responded to changing market conditions effectively.
This has ensured strong cash-flows throughout the period with R26.3 million cash
generated from operations. An interim dividend of 2 cents per share was declared
and paid in October 2010. Finance costs have reduced from R10.1 million in the
prior year to R8.8 million this year.
Cash at 28 February 2011 was R29.2 million compared to R21.3 million as at 28
February 2010, an improvement in the cash position of R7.9 million. This is
after funding the acquisition of Metlite Alloys and the payment of a R2.7
million deposit relating to the purchase of a warehouse in Durban.
Long term debt was reduced by R5.6 million to R36.6 million at 28 February 2011.
Operational Review
Insimbi has remained cash generative throughout the volatile period under review
due to the Group`s diverse product offering, continued profitability, prudent
acquisition strategy and attention to working capital.
The steel segment has shown strong signs of recovery although there is still
some uncertainty in these markets. However we remain confident that the recovery
will be sustainable.
The refractory segment has experienced difficult trading conditions and although
this was anticipated and budgeted, the severity of these conditions, was not
anticipated, especially in the second half of the financial year. National
infrastructure spend continues to disappoint but we remain optimistic that this
will accelerate in the current financial year. Commodity prices have recovered
since the lows of 2009 and many seem to have settled at sustainable and
manageable levels. The strength of the Rand continues to be a concern and it has
had a severe impact on our customer`s base, most noticeably within the Foundry
segment.
The Insimbi Group remains committed to BBEEE and have maintained its rating as a
Level 7 contributor. We continue to strive for a higher rating but are largely
dependent on our large suppliers themselves, being officially rated which will
enable us to improve our rating, unfortunately many of these suppliers are not
able to provide us with rating certificates and this negatively impacts on our
procurement scorecard.
Business combinations
With effect from 13 July 2010, the group acquired 100% of the issued share
capital of Metlite Alloys (Pty) Ltd and Metlite Alloys Properties (Pty) Ltd. The
business was acquired for a total purchase consideration of R11.0m. The fair
value of assets and liabilities acquired amounted to R16.8m and a gain of R5.8m
recognized from the bargain purchase (negative goodwill).
The acquired businesses contributed revenues of R54.4 million and net profit
before tax of R3.8 million to the group for the period from acquisition to 28
February 2011. It`s assets and liabilities were R27.1m and R8.1m respectively as
at 28 February 2011. If the acquisition had occurred on 01 March 2010, group
revenue would have been R23.4 million more and profit before tax would have been
R226.9k more.

2011 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

these condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February
2011 that comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as
at 28 February 2011 and the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and have
expressed an unqualified opinion on these reviewed condensed consolidated
financial statements. The review report is available at the Company`s registered
office.
Prospects
Market conditions remain volatile and difficult to predict. The strong Rand is
hampering our ability to achieve organic growth and any weakening of the
currency against the USD and Euro, has a positive impact on our revenues and
margins. The impact of the tragic tsunami in Japan in March 2011 has resulted in
a shortage of certain components to the South African Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) industry and this has had a knock on effect on the demand
for certain of our alloys, especially aluminum. We expect this to reverse within
this year as Japan rehabilitates itself and we are well positioned with our
aluminium plants in Cape Town and Johannesburg, to capitalize on this when it
happens.
We are seeing evidence of growth in most of our target industries and even
growth in our export opportunities, notwithstanding the challenge of the
currency strength. We are a still a little "reserved" in our expectations after
the humbling experiences of the previous two or three years. We are optimistic
that the year ending February 2012 will be a better one for the local and
regional economies and therefore, a better year for us as well.
As a group, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions, such as
Metlite, in various industries which will bring synergies and added value to the
group.
However, our focus remains on:
- our core business segments and the addition of new products to compliment our
existing product lines
- cost cutting and control
- working capital discipline and
- the motivation and upliftment of our employees
