GROUP OVERVIEW
The Holdsport Limited group comprises the retail chains: Sportsmans Warehouse
and Outdoor Warehouse; and Performance Brands (previously First Ascent SA), an
expanding outdoor apparel and equipment wholesale business. Holdsport was listed
on the JSE Limited on 18 July 2011, and these are its maiden set of final
results.
The group delivered a pleasing result for the year with total sales increasing
by 9.8% to R1 243.5 million and retail sales increasing by 8.7% to R1 195.9
million. The group`s core headline earnings increased by 22.5% to R167.2
million. Pro forma comparative figures have been provided to allow for a better
evaluation of the group`s performance.
Holdsport has maintained strong margins through its procurement strategies and
rigorous cost management. The group`s operating profit margin for the period
increased from 17.3% to 18.2%, mainly as a result of profits on foreign exchange
denominated transactions of R1.4 million in this financial year compared to
losses of R6.7 million in the previous year.
The group opened two new stores during the period and relocated three stores,
with a weighted increase in trading area of 3.0%.
A final gross dividend of 115.0 cents per share has been declared, this being in
line with the group`s dividend policy of two times cover by core headline
earnings, which amounted to 228.2 cents per share in the second half of the
year.
TRADING DIVISIONS
Sales for the various trading divisions were as follows:
Increase
Number of Sales in sales
stores Rm %
Sportsmans Warehouse 33 896.0 9.2
Outdoor Warehouse 18 299.9 7.3
Retail sales 51 1 195.9 8.7
Performance Brands - 47.6 45.9
Total sales 51 1 243.5 9.8
Like-for-like store retail sales grew by 6.6%, while the retail chains
experienced price inflation of approximately 0.6% for the year. Total group
trading expenses increased by 7.7% on a like-for-like basis, excluding foreign
exchange profits and losses.
The Sportsmans Warehouse division opened one new store in Pietermaritzburg and
relocated two stores in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and is now trading out of 33
stores. Like-for-like store sales increased by 7.5%.
The Outdoor Warehouse division opened one new store in Vanderbijlpark and
relocated a store in Somerset West, and is now trading out of 18 stores. Like-
for-like store sales increased by 3.7%.
Performance Brands (previously First Ascent SA) has been positioned as a
wholesale business specialising in the development and distribution of sports
and outdoor apparel and equipment. The company traded well, and achieved R47.6
million of external sales, a 45.9% growth from the previous year.
FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The group purchased the CAPESTORM trademark and related inventory on 1 March
2012. Performance Brands will manage this trademark as part of its portfolio of
wholesale brands.
Holdsport is currently considering the expansion of its distribution facilities.
This could result in the group developing two new distribution centres over the
next 15 months which will increase the distribution capacity for its retail
stores and cater for Performance Brands` growth.
The group signed lease agreements for a further three new stores to be opened in
the next financial year, and is currently evaluating other opportunities.
In addition, the group will be increasing the size of its Fourways store and
relocate a store in Polokwane.
PROSPECTS
The 2010 FIFA World CupTM and the 2011 Rugby World Cup in the last two years
created a high base from which to grow. Furthermore, low selling price
inflation, creeping cost inflation, increased competition and the risk of
overtrading in the sporting goods sector are likely to present challenges in the
year ahead.
Notwithstanding the above challenges, the group is confident that it will
attract customers and show growth as long as it continues to provide its
distinctive retail experience with exciting choice, depth of product and
exceptional service.
