NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the AC500 standards as
issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the information as required by IAS 34:
Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE Limited`s Listings Requirements and in the
manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. The report has been
prepared using accounting policies that comply with IFRS which are consistent
with those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011,
except for the adoption of IAS2, IFRS5, IAS7, IAS28, IAS31, IAS38 and IAS39 and
has been prepared under the supervision of Craig Barnard, the Group Financial
Director.
Acquisitions
The following acquisitions were made during the period ended 30 September 2011:
- Humulani Marketing (Pty) Limited`s acquisitions for the current period
amounted to R8 million.
FINANCIAL AND GROUP OVERVIEW
The Group has produced excellent results, once again confirming the quality of
its underlying operations. During the period under review, global demand for
resources continued to be firm, which underpinned demand for products supplied
by BMG, the Group`s industrial consumables business. Demand for agricultural
machinery was substantially higher than last year, driven largely by good grain
prices both locally and abroad. The construction machinery sector has continued
to recover, resulting in this division improving its contribution to the profits
of the Group.
Revenue for the 6 months under review exceeded R2,5 billion, an 18% increase
over the comparative period last year. Most pleasing was the 22% increase in
operating income to R261 million, which translates into a 10,2% return on sales,
up from 9,8% for the comparative period last year.
Profit before taxation grew by 29% to R230 million, earnings per share by 34% to
269 cents per share and headline earnings per share by 27% to 254 cents per
share.
During the year the Group facilitated and funded a change in BEE shareholders at
its operational holding company level (Humulani Investments (Pty) Limited). The
Group is pleased to now have as a 20% shareholder, the Humulani Empowerment
Trust, a broad-based trust, together with the Humulani Employee Trust which was
already a 5% shareholder in Humulani Investments (Pty) Limited. Both trusts are
consolidated in terms of IFRS SIC12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.
In August 2011, shareholders approved an executive loan scheme for Invicta Group
executive directors, which, together with the issue of shares under the Group
Long-Term Bonus Share Appreciation Scheme, resulted in the issue of 2 113 632
ordinary shares from treasury stock, which realised a profit of R19,6 million
reflected in other comprehensive income.
The Group continued to invest in working capital, which resulted in cash
generated from operations declining from R168 million to R99 million. During the
period, the Group acquired 151 940 treasury shares and made a number of small
acquisitions totalling R8 million. Preference share funding of R178 million was
raised during the period and the Group ended the period with cash and cash
equivalents of R338 million, a very healthy position.
BMG (BEARING MAN GROUP)
The sustained global demand for mineral resources has given rise to improved
demand for industrial consumables in South Africa, the bulk of which are
supplied into the mineral resources industry. Countering this, manufacturing
activity in South Africa has fallen and is a source of concern to the Group.
BMG has continued to trade strongly, with the majority of its divisions showing
growth over the prior period. Revenue and operating profit increased by 12%,
with concomitant good cash generation. While overall trading has been good,
margins remain under pressure, as does the business environment, as concerns
about the sustainability of the global resources boom grow.
BMG has increased inventory by approximately R100 million, to over R800 million,
in the current period as a result of a strategic decision taken in 2010 to
increase the inventory of key product lines. This should prove to be key to good
performance in the second half of the year, as supplier lead times remain
challenging.
CEG (CAPITAL EQUIPMENT GROUP)
High maize and wheat prices have resulted in a surge in demand for agricultural
equipment in the period under review. Tractor sales volumes in the industry as a
whole have grown by over 50% year-on-year and combine harvesters by 30%. CEG
capitalised on this demand, which resulted in its revenue increasing by 27% to
over R1,1 billion for the period.
The construction machinery sector has started growing again after declining by
more than 50% over the past two years, resulting in this division making a
meaningful contribution to the CEG`s results during the period.
Criterion Equipment is growing steadily and is also making a good contribution
to CEG profits. Continued strong working capital management and the increased
sales have resulted in good cash generation in CEG.
OTHER OPERATIONS
The Group has now bedded down its distribution outlet network for Tiletoria, and
although it did not make a material contribution to the Group during the period,
it is profitable and is projected to continue growing steadily.
PROSPECTS
If the current trading conditions persist, the Board remains confident of the
continued success of the Group for the remainder of the year. Rand volatility
may create some instability as it may render pricing of goods difficult.
Currency management and cash generation will therefore remain a key management
focus. The Group has identified a number of acquisitions which it is currently
considering and hopes to conclude by year-end.
The Group continues with its dividend policy of 3,5 times dividend cover at
interim stage. Accordingly the Board is pleased to announce a dividend of 77
cents per ordinary share, up 35% from last year.
DIVIDEND
The board has declared an interim dividend of 77 cents per share.
In compliance with the requirements of Strate the following dates are
applicable:
Last date to trade "cum" dividend Friday, 25 November 2011
First date of trading "ex" dividend Monday, 28 November 2011
Record date Friday, 2 December 2011
