COMMENTARY
PROFILE
Primeserv Group Limited is an investment holding company focusing
on the delivery of human resources (HR) products, services and
solutions through its operating pillar, Primeserv HR Services.
This incorporates two main areas of specialisation: Human Capital
Development operating as Primeserv HR Solutions; and Human
Capital Outsourcing operating as Primeserv Outsourcing.
These divisions provide a comprehensive HR value chain that can
be applied through Primeserv’s IntHRgrate™ Model in its entirety
or in modular form. These divisions encompass an extensive range
of HR consulting solutions and services, corporate and vocational
training programmes, technical skills training centres, as well
as resourcing and flexible staffing services, supported by wage
bureaus and HR logistics outsourcing operations.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The national economy remains vulnerable to both internal and
external factors with the growth rate remaining sluggish and
unemployment at very high levels.
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
As a consequence of the adoption of IFRS10: Consolidated
Financial Statements, the results of Bathusi Staffing Services
Proprietary Limited (“Bathusi”), previously accounted for as an
associate company, have now been incorporated into the financial
statements as a subsidiary company. The commentary presented
below deals with Bathusi in terms of the new standard.
The results for the six-month period under review show a return
to overall profitability from the prior year loss of R4,3
million.
Total revenue for the six months has decreased by 10% from R359,8
million to R322,9 million primarily due to the reduction in
revenue attributable to the discontinued operation. Revenue
attributable to continuing operations decreased by 6% from R341,1
million to R321,5 million. The gross profit from continuing
operations has increased by 10% from R46,9 million to R51,4
million with the overall gross profit percentage from continuing
operations increasing from 13,7% to 16,0%. This improvement is a
consequence of improved trading with higher margin clients and
the reduction in volume of some lower margin business which had
benefited the revenue line whilst delivering less than optimal
returns.
EBITDA has increased by 11% from R6,9 million to R7,7 million
with EBITDA from continuing operations improving by 37% from R7,1
million to R9,7 million. The EBITDA loss pertaining to the
discontinued Colleges unit has increased over that of the
comparable six-month period from a loss of R0,1 million to a loss
of R2,0 million. The loss of R2,0 million relating to the final
month of trading and discontinuance of the business must be seen
in the context of the prior year loss of R9,0 million for the
full financial year. The overall operating profit has increased
by 18% from R5,5 million to R6,5 million with that from
continuing operations improving by 42% from R6,0 million to R8,5
million. The net interest cost has reduced from a net cost of
R2,7 million to a net cost of R2,5 million. Profit before tax has
increased by 46% from R2,7 million to R4,0 million. Profit before
tax from continuing operations has increased by 52% from R3,9
million to R6,0 million. Total comprehensive income attributable
to shareholders of the Company has decreased from R4,3 million to
R3,7 million. Earnings per share and headline earnings per share
have decreased by 16% from 4,63 cents per share to 3,90 cents per
share with earnings per share and headline earnings per share
from continuing operations increasing by 9% from 5,56 cents per
share to 6,04 cents per share.
Trade receivables have decreased from R113,9 million at the end
of September 2012 to R100,8 million at the end of September 2013.
The average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) has improved from 55
days to 52 days for the period under review. Trade payables have
decreased by R10,6 million from R44,6 million to R34,0 million.
Cash flow from operations improved by R1,2 million from R4,0
million to R5,2 million, while cash invested in working capital
improved from an outflow of R10,3 million for the comparable
period to an outflow of R4,9 million in the current review
period. Cash and cash equivalents turned around from an outflow
of R7,4 million for the 6 months ended September 2012, to cash
generated of R0,9 million for the current period.
HUMAN CAPITAL OUTSOURCING
Trading in the division was positive albeit that revenue
decreased by 6% from R326,9 million to R306,0 million as a
consequence of a change in client mix and the impact of
industrial action in the motor industry over the course of August
and September. Operating profit for the segment showed an
improvement over the prior period. The DSO has improved from 54
days at the end of September 2012, to 49 days at the end of the
current reporting period. Gross profit and profitability improved
with certain low margin business reducing and being substituted
with higher margin business. The trading across the blue collar
unit was positive. The white collar unit delivered stable
revenues in what remained a sluggish operating environment.
The amendments to the Labour Relations Act in regard to Temporary
Employment Service providers have been passed by the National
Council of Provinces. It is therefore anticipated that the
amendments will become law in 2014. Aside from an increased
administrative burden, the amendments are not expected to have a
material impact on the Group’s HR business. Direct employment is
increasingly pressured due to ongoing weak economic conditions,
resulting in a lack of new job opportunities, excessive wage
demands and industrial action. These factors tend to favour the
flexible labour solutions and integrated HR services offered by
established and compliant providers such as Primeserv.
HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
Revenue from continuing operations improved by 9% from R14,2
million to R15,4 million. The overall revenue values are not
directly comparable due to the results of the discontinued
Colleges operation being included for the full 6 months in the
prior reporting period compared with a single month in the
current review period. The Group disposed of its investment in
the Colleges business with effect from 1 May 2013 thereby
mitigating the losses and future operational risk from this unit.
Operating profit from continuing operations has decreased by 26%
from R2,2 million to R1,6 million due to project revenues being
deferred while certain costs have already been expensed. This
division continues to provide both strategic and profit-
generating benefits to the Group.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Management is not aware of any material events which have
occurred subsequent to the end of September 2013.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The results for the Group for the six months ended 30 September
2013 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), the presentation and disclosure requirements
of IAS 34 (as revised): Interim Financial Reporting, the
Companies Act of 2008, the JSE Listings Requirements and the
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting
Practices Committee. Except as recorded below, the accounting
policies are consistent with those described and applied in the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013. The
results were prepared by the Group Financial Director, Mr R Sack
CA (SA). The results have not been reviewed or audited by the
Group’s external auditors.
ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARD – IFRS 10: CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, was issued in August
2012 and replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in
IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and SIC
12: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The Group concluded
a BBBEE transaction in January 2005 whereby Bathusi was
deconsolidated and thereafter accounted for as an associate
company, in which the Group held 45% of the equity with the
balance held by a number of BBBEE shareholders. The Group has
determined that while it did not have control over the Company in
terms of the principles of IAS 27, it does have control over the
entity in terms of IFRS 10 given that the Group is able to
control the activities of the Company and to earn variable
returns. Consequently, Bathusi has been consolidated in the
financial results of the Group.
As required by IFRS 10, this change has been applied
retrospectively and the comparative periods have been adjusted
accordingly.
DIVIDEND
No interim dividend is proposed for the period under review. The
Group will consider the resumption of dividend payments at the
close of its next reporting period.
Outlook
Ongoing focus on new sales and other growth and value enhancing
opportunities should improve the Group’s trading performance.
Any forward-looking statements contained herein have not been
reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s auditors.
