The preparation of the group`s condensed consolidated financial results was
supervised by the group financial director, AP Broodryk, CA(SA).
OVERVIEW
Having cautioned in the interim announcement that the markets in which the
Group operates are likely to remain difficult, it is nonetheless
disappointing to report that performance did not improve in the second half
of the year.
The Group produced a loss for the second six month period which resulted in
an overall loss for the year. This was primarily the result of negative
leverage; a number of major costs increased at higher rates than the rate at
which revenue increased.
The markets in which the Group operates are challenging. Customers are
managing costs tightly, growth is limited, and clean ups have been delayed
and restricted. While the majority of our clients recognise the importance of
ethical waste disposal, we have seen some movement of customers to
questionable operators. We retained our market share over the year by
providing ethical and innovative waste disposal and quality service, we will
continue to do so as this is critical to the vast majority of the market and
will support revenue growth.
Gross margins improved over the previous year and were supported by a
contribution from the Group`s own landfill. The level of the margins however
declined from those achieved in the first half of the financial year as a
result of cost pressures.
The waste management business increased revenue by 14.6% over the previous
year. Landfill costs were well managed during the second half and our success
in developing alternate, cost effective waste disposal options, limited the
cost increase for the year to 6%. Fixed vehicle costs increased significantly
as a result of the movement to full maintenance leases, this was however
offset by lower depreciation and interest charges resulting in a net increase
in the expense of 3%. Fuel, maintenance and other vehicle costs increased by
11%, largely as a result of higher fuel prices during the year. Payroll costs
increased by 13%, a function of an above inflation union wage increase and
growth in staff numbers. Operating costs excluding payroll increased by 15%,
due to administered price increases, professional fees and expenditure on the
Group`s IT systems.
The metals recovery business was scaled down and revenue decreased by 42%.
The loss before interest and taxation decreased substantially relative to the
last financial year and the first six months of the current year. The
business forms an important part of the service offering to our customers but
the capital available for growth has been restricted and it is expected to
generate small positive returns going forward.
Revenue in the organics business declined by 29%, and the loss before
interest and taxation by 51%, from the previous year, a function of more
concentrated marketing and sales at higher margins. The proportion of sales
through building and retail chains increased during the period with a
positive effect on results.
The landfill division grew revenue by 7% and produced a profit before
interest and taxation of R5.7 million, a significant improvement over the
profit of R1.8 million in the previous year. The bulk of the profit was
earned in the first half of the financial year, due to large unscheduled
maintenance and repair costs in the second half. The Group`s contracts on a
number of strategic landfills were extended during the last six months and
the business should continue the positive trend established during the year.
The Group`s property, plant and equipment increased in the latter part of the
year, mainly as a result of the development of the FG landfill site. This was
financed through interest bearing borrowings and the bank overdraft. The
landfill rehabilitation provision is required as a result of the operation of
the FG landfill site.
The Group generated cash from operating activities. This was reinvested into
the business with an additional amount being raised to fund the landfill.
PROSPECTS
Significant effort is being devoted to growing revenue and cutting costs.
FG landfill has been permitted and is authorised to operate as a B-lined site
in terms of the new Waste Act, allowing it to accept other than "general"
waste. This will bolster the Group`s ability to offer customers innovative
and cost effective solutions for disposal and should significantly enhance
our ability to produce profitable growth.
The move to the central Gauteng site was delayed but will be completed before
June 2012 and will lead to cost savings. Exercises to improve vehicle
utilisation and staff efficiency are under way.
The markets in which the Group operates are likely to remain difficult.
Considerable time and effort have been invested in building a platform for
profitable growth in difficult conditions and some benefit of this may be
realised during 2012.
DIVIDEND
The Group will not pay a dividend for the financial year.
Platinum Waste Resources (Pty) Ltd, a partly owned subsidiary, paid dividends
of R105 000 to non-controlling shareholders.
