GROUP COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
Poynting designs, manufactures and sells antenna and telecommunications
products to the cellular, wireless data and defence markets. The company
operates as three divisions, namely Commercial, Defence, and the
discontinued Base Station Equipment. The Base Station Equipment Division was
discontinued in September 2010 due to a dramatic downswing in demand for the
products of this Division. Poynting`s commercial products are used in
cellular and 3G end-user equipment, as well as wireless data networks
employing WiFi, iBurst and WiMAX technologies. During the 2010 financial
year, the Commercial Division also started providing antenna installation
services and has grown in the 2011 financial year. This service offering is
focused on the installation of Poynting`s antennas for end-users of the
large network service providers.
The Defence Division is focused on the electronic warfare market which
comprises monitoring, jamming and direction-finding antennas. This division
sells to military system integrators and specialised distribution partners.
Close partnerships are created with customers and antennas are often custom-
designed.
The Base Station Equipment Division supplied transmission infrastructure
equipment mainly to cellular operators. This equipment includes base station
amplifiers and diplexers as well as some in-building signal splitters and
antennas for in-building repeaters and base stations. This Division was
discontinued early in this financial year as noted above.
Poynting retained a very strong Research and Development department ("R&D")
of around 20 talented members including PhD and MSc level engineers who
design the antennas, develop production methods, develop manufacturing plant
(mainly moulds and stamping tools) and produce first prototypes. Both
Commercial and Defence perform customer-specific designs to supply products
to single customers ("OEM") and generic products which can be sold to
various customers. Typically, the Defence sales come from large military
OEMs whereas Commercial mainly focuses on mass production products sold
through distributors or to corporate customers.
RESULTS OVERVIEW
The highlights of the financial year end results include:
Revenue of R81,5 million, up 7% from R76,3 million. If the discontinued
operations revenue is removed from both periods, the revenue from continued
operations has increased by 22%.
54% increase in profit before taxation from R3,8 million to R5,8 million
excluding the loss in discontinued operations of R2,2 million.
EBITDA from continuing operations increased by 25% from R9,8 million in 2010
to R12,3 million in 2011.
Results in 2011 were driven by continued excellent performance by the
Defence Division. Revenues in Defence increased by 22% from 2010 to 2011 and
the profit before taxation was 44% higher at R10,4 million from R7,2
million.
The Commercial Division was also 22% higher, but a loss before taxation of
R4,3 million versus a previous year loss of R3,7 million was recorded. The
larger loss in the Commercial Division was in spite of improved turnover and
gross margin in 2011 versus 2010. This was due to increased overheads as a
result of the dissolution of the Base Station Equipment Division, a large
provision for bad debt, stock write-off and provisions, extraordinary legal
costs and provisions and costs associated with corporate activities
negotiation earlier this year.
Poynting has managed to raise an Industrial Development Corporation order
finance facility of R4 million for major projects. This, together with
profitable results and improved management of working capital, has improved
the company`s liquidity position.
Intangible assets have reduced over a three-year period while tangible net
asset value per ordinary share has increased from 14 cents per share (2009)
to 25 cents per share (2011) over the period. The current net asset value
per ordinary share of 36 cents per share includes an intangible asset of 11
cents per share which the board believes is a conservative value and mainly
represents value of product-related Intellectual Property (IP).
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The board of directors is not aware of any material matters or circumstances
arising since the year-end and up to the date of this report.
PROSPECTS
The Defence Division is expected to show continued revenue growth and
profits in 2012. This Division currently has a stronger order book than at
the same point last year and has a healthy number of proposals and
opportunities in the pipeline. International acceptance and demand for our
Defence products is showing growth and we are developing a broader customer
and product base.
The Commercial Division is starting to re-invest in product development
again after some severe reduction on spending in this area for the past two
years. Good opportunities are becoming apparent in the area of cellular
coverage driven by the high growth in cellular data products both locally
and internationally. We envisage increased growth in cellular product sales.
Our drive to combine cellular products with installations in South Africa is
proving popular. The Commercial Division is also forming a close
relationship with a BEE partner to start providing innovative coverage
solutions to cellular service providers. This offering has been well
received and we hope to expand this business in future.
We have also had discussions with an international company regarding a
possible acquisition by the Commercial Division during the last financial
year. Even though this proved unsuccessful we shall continue to look for
further opportunities to increase our operational scale and international
footprint. We are also on the lookout for similar opportunities for
corporate activity to strengthen our international footprint for the Defence
Division. These are not profit forecasts and are not reviewed.
