COMMENTARY
Introduction
The Group`s results for the six months ended 31 August 2011 continued to be
impacted by margin pressure in the traditional domestic markets with the roads
market being especially competitive. The Group saw a welcome return to
profitability in the Piling business and an overall positive contribution from
Specialist Contractors was reported for this period. Notwithstanding the
challenging operational conditions, the Group`s stated strategy of achieving
geographical as well as target market diversification is well on track and the
Group was particularly successful in growing the order book to R1,6 billion at
31 August 2011.
Financial overview
Revenue was R762,1 million, down 10,9% from R855,3 million for the comparative
period ended 31 August 2010 and a decline of 27,0% in earnings before
interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to R32,4 million
from R44,3 million for the corresponding interim period. The major contributor
to the decline in EBITDA was margin contraction on certain roads projects
substantially completed by Sanyati Central and Sanyati Coastal at 31 August
2011.
The Group`s operating profit before interest and taxation (R21,0 million
versus R35,2 million) was 40,3% lower than the result achieved to 31 August
2010. Basic earnings per share (EPS) and fully diluted headline earnings per
share (HEPS) decreased by similar percentages to 3,3 cents and 2,8 cents,
respectively.
The statement of financial position reflects a 2,2% increase in shareholders`
equity from R648,0 million as at 28 February 2011 to R662,4 million as at 31
August 2011. Net interest-bearing borrowings as at 31 August 2011 amount to
R135,0 million, which translates into a net gearing ratio of 20,4%.
Total capital expenditure for the six months amounted to R4,5 million compared
to R5,5 million spent over the 2010 interim period.
Cash generated by operations (before working capital changes) was R32,1
million. The increase in working capital funding of R14,9 million during the
period was primarily a result of the on-going payment delay from the Free
State Government - an issue which we expect to be resolved with payment before
the calendar year end.
Operational review
Sanyati Central
Sanyati Central delivered revenue growth of 7,2% to R399,3 million (31 August
2010: R372,5 million) with EBITDA of R17,0 million (margin of 4,3%). The
deterioration in the margin reflects the difficult conditions in the domestic
roads market. A highlight in the period was the successful completion of the
50kva re-electrification project for Transnet.
The major areas of activity included the completion of the Sishen-Saldanha
line for Transnet, significant contract mining work at the UMK Mine in the
Northern Cape and various fibre optic cable laying projects in South Africa,
Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Sanyati Coastal
Sanyati Coastal reported disappointing results with revenue down 25,9% to
R209,4 million from R282,4 million (August 2010) and EBITDA of R6,3 million,
significantly lower than the August 2010 EBITDA of R16,0 million.
The market in KwaZulu-Natal is regarded as the most challenging in South
Africa. Ongoing work on the N11 Bergville/Ladysmith SANRAL project, pipeline
and sundry civil work for Richards Bay Minerals, the successful execution of a
fibre optic project for Plessey and multiple small water projects currently
underway constituted the projects for this business unit.
Sanyati North
The Sanyati North business showed a welcome improvement in the top line result
with revenue increasing by 8,3% to R174,4 million (August 2010: R161,0
million) and we were successful in securing the award of our first roads
contract in Zambia in July 2011. EBITDA nevertheless decreased by 35,1% to
R6,5 million, a reflection of the competitive situation in our traditional
domestic markets.
Sanyati North`s main areas of activity included ongoing civils work at Medupi
for Eskom, two roads contracts for the Roads Agency Limpopo, completion of the
Mooi Plaas road near Barberton, Mpumalanga and a number of mining
infrastructure projects.
Specialist Contractors
Encouraging turnaround was reported by all three businesses with Sanyati
Conform reporting revenue growth of 115,1% to R24,4 million (August 2010:
R11,3 million) and an EBITDA loss of R0,4 million (August 2010: EBITDA loss of
R1,7 million). Sanyati Piling & Geotechnical increased revenue by 61,6% to
R46,3 million (August 2010: R28,7 million) and EBITDA of R2,2 million (August
2010: EBITDA loss of R1,6 million). Conform was successful in securing two
contracts in Zimbabwe in the platinum industry.
Changes to the board of directors
The only change to the board during this period was the appointment of Aleta
Jovner as Chief Financial Officer effective 1 June 2011.
Dividend
No interim dividend has been declared for the six months ended 31 August 2011,
in line with Sanyati`s current dividend policy.
Prospects
Sanyati expects the traditional civil construction market in South Africa
(e.g. roads and earthworks) to remain competitive in the short to medium term.
Our well-publicised strategy of geographical diversification and simultaneous
focus on less traded and more specialised target markets in South Africa and
the rest of Africa therefore remains relevant.
On the geographical diversification front, a Zambian platform has been
established where the Group is currently executing three projects with an
aggregate value of R280 million. Our new entity in Zimbabwe has been
established with reputable local partners and we have secured private sector
work on the mines and in the telecoms industry. This business is well
positioned for the major national roads projects expected to be awarded in the
near term. We remain hopeful that the delays caused by funding difficulties in
Uganda will soon be resolved and that we will successfully conclude road
contracts in that country.
Sanyati has made sound progress in its chosen target markets of rail, mining,
telecommunications and water. The Group has commenced a new project for the
Passenger Rail Agency and also secured a five year rail maintenance contract
with the Richards Bay Coal Terminal. A notable achievement was the award of a
five year mining contract by UMK mining valued in excess of R700 million.
The Group`s strategic investment of a 27% stake in Africa Pipe Industries is
performing in line with expectations and with the significant value of
prospects, a second mill in Mokopane is under consideration. The water
industry remains a key focus area with good prospects in KwaZulu-Natal as well
as the water infrastructure requirements for the major platinum expansion
programmes in the Limpopo Province.
In addition to the order book, Sanyati had imminent awards of R928 million and
close prospects of R1,5 billion at 31 August 2011.
Basis of preparation

accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the AC500 Standards as
