COMMENTARY
Financial performance
Revenue decreased from R213.8 million, for the six months
ended 31 December 2010("the comparative period"), to R209.3
million, for the six months ended 31 December 2011 ("the current period"),
mainly as a result of trading volume decline in O-line Support Systems
(Pty) Limited ("O-line Support Systems") of 11.06%. Armco Superlite (Pty)
Limited ("Armco") experienced a trading volume increase of 5.13% and O-Line
Holdings (Mocambique) Limitada ("O-line Mocambique") also experienced a
trading volume increase. This represents a net 2.11% decrease in revenue for
the current period compared to the comparative period. Gross profit
decreased from R66.3 million in the comparative period to R65.9m over the
current period.
O-line Support Systems and Armco Superlite achieved gross
profit margins for the current period of 32.5% and 28.6%
respectively, while O-line Mocambique achieved a gross
profit margin of 14% for the current period, excessive transportation costs
impacting negatively on their gross margin. The Group`s operating profit for
the current period decreased by 17.6%, from R27.2 million in the comparative
period to R22.4 million in the current period, whilst operating expenses
increased by 11.1% from R39.7 million to R44.1 million. Finance costs
decreased from R2.7 million in the comparative period to R2.2 million in the
current period, this is mainly attributable to the decrease in borrowings as
Group debt has been settled.
Cash and cash equivalents have increased from R35.2 million in the
comparative period to R44.6 million in the current period.
The Group will continue to utilise its available cash to
finance operations, for expansion and to settle debt. The
Group also experienced the following decreases / increases,
compared to the comparative period:
* Borrowings reflect a net decrease of R6.6 million from R50.8
million to R44.2 million, this is in line with repayments in terms
of loan agreements entered into by the Group. A new medium term
loan of R8 million was drawn down to purchase the property for the
Randfontein galvanising facility;
* Trade and other payables increased by R22.8 million to R49.5
million, a substantial portion of the increase being attributable
to advance payments received by Armco;
* Trade and other receivables decreased by R8.6 million to R44.8
million following the overall downward trend in sales volumes for
the period and better debtors collections;
* Cash generated from operations increased from R1.6 million to
R40.5 million mainly as a result of a decreased cash investment in
working capital as reflected in the decrease in trade receivables
and an increase in trade payables and inventory at the current
period end compared to the corresponding period. While the timing
of the period end resulted in a negative impact on trade payables
and receivables, working capital management remains a key area of
focus for the Group;
* Inventory also increased from R72.6 million to R87.4 million to
support the increase in trading activities at Armco and O-line
Mocambique; and
* Capital expenditure increased from R2.1 million in the comparative
period to R11 million mainly as a result of the acquisition of the
Randfontein property for the new galvanising facility.
Operational Performance and Prospects
Operational performance of the Group pertaining to the
period were heavily subdued as a result of diminishing
margins relating to continuous increases in Power, Gas and
labour. Further aggravation came in the form of the Metal
Workers Union strikes forcing the Group to evacuate
manufacturing premises for a period due to the violence and
intimidation. O-line Support Systems was severely affected
due to the extended time lines of materials flow from order
to expediting resulting in increased inventory levels.
Armco`s ability of quick recovery helped lessen the affect
and fared well in providing a fair set of results. The
first quarter resulted in some divisional losses relating
to the above, this left the Group with a mere three months
of proper operations considering taking into play December
is construction close down. In order to manage the deficit
the Group will focus around savings and efficiencies
through the reduction of overtime and downsizing of the
work force, although this will not allow for total recovery
it will assist in reducing operating costs of which in turn
will provide for some relief. Looking ahead to the third
and fourth quarters both Armco and O-line will continue the
strategic approach of cost saving through mechanisations
and will focus on the start of supply of goods and services
to the Kusile Power Stations accompanied by the future
Renewable Energy Projects and Roads Infrastructure
Development in Africa.
