UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2011
SALES UP 7.2% TO R546.9 MILLION
CORE HEADLINE EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 22.3% TO 159.2 CENTS
STRONG CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
INTERIM DIVIDEND DECLARED OF 47 CENTS PER SHARE
GROUP OVERVIEW
The Holdsport Group comprises Sportsmans Warehouse and Outdoor Warehouse,
the leading sports and outdoor retailers in South Africa, as well as First
Ascent, a rapidly expanding outdoor apparel and equipment brand.
Holdsport was listed on the JSE Limited ("JSE") on 18 July 2011 and these
are its maiden set of interim results.
The group produced a pleasing result in the first half of the year, with
total sales increasing by 7.2% to R546.9 million and retail sales
increasing by 6.5% to R523.7 million. The group operating profit increased
by 8.7% to R89.8 million.
Shareholder loans were capitalised during the current period before the
group was listed. Pro forma comparative figures have therefore been
provided to allow for a better appreciation of the performance of the
group, which has benefited from lower interest charges in the period to 31
August 2011. The profit after taxation of R61.2 million is 19.6% higher
than the pro forma profit after taxation for the period ended 31 August
2010.
Holdsport calculates core headline earnings for management purposes. This
excludes exceptional once-off costs and the amortisation of trademarks,
fair value adjustments to loans and the lease straight-lining expense. Core
headline earnings per share increased by 22.3% to 159.2 cents. Headline
earnings increased by 30.4% per share to 141.7 cents.
Holdsport has maintained strong margins through its ongoing procurement
strategies and rigorous cost management. The group`s operating profit
margin for the period increased from 16.2% to 16.4%.
The group opened two new stores during the period and relocated one store,
with a weighted increase in trading area of 2.3% relative to the prior
corresponding period.
A maiden interim dividend has been declared of 47.0 cents per share, in
line with the group`s dividend policy.
TRADING DIVISIONS
Retail sales and growth in the various trading divisions was as follows:
Number of Sales
stores Rm % change
Sportsmans Warehouse 33 392.1 6.1
Outdoor Warehouse 18 131.6 7.7
Retail sales 51 523.7 6.5
First Ascent - 23.2 28.1
Total 51 546.9 7.2
Total sales increased by 7.2%. Retail sales increased by 6.5%, whilst same
store retail sales grew by 5.0%. We estimate price deflation of
approximately 1.4% for the period. Total trading expenses increased by 8.2%
on a like-for- like basis.
The Sportsmans Warehouse division opened one new store in Pietermaritzburg
and relocated a store in Pretoria, and is now trading out of 33 stores.
Sales grew by 6.1% to R392.1 million. Same store sales increased by 5.1%.
The Outdoor Warehouse division opened one new store in Vanderbijlpark and
is now trading out of 18 stores. Sales grew by 7.7% to R131.6 million. Same
store sales increased by 4.8%.
First Ascent SA has traded very well and achieved R23.2 million of external
sales, a 28.1% growth from the previous period. The brand continues to gain
in popularity and is extending its product range successfully.
PROSPECTS
Whilst continued unemployment in the economy and general economic
volatility remains a potential risk, we are cautiously optimistic regarding
trading in the second half of this year. As always, the second half is
heavily dependent on Christmas trading, which will largely determine the
performance of the group in the second half.
The new stores that we opened are successful and have met our expectations.
We have signed lease agreements for a further two new stores to be opened
in the next financial year, and are evaluating other opportunities. The
weighted trading space for the full financial year is expected to increase
by 3% on the previous year.
