COMMENTARY
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The audited condensed consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) for the year ended 28
February 2014 (“the year”) have been prepared in accordance with the framework concepts, the recognition and
measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the disclosure and presentation
requirements of “IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting”, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee, the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71
of 2008), as amended. The accounting policies and method of computation applied in preparation of these financial
statements are in accordance with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for
the 12 months ended 28 February 2013.
This provisional report is extracted from audited information, but is not itself audited. The board of directors of PSV
(“the Board”) takes full responsibility for the preparation of this provisional report and that the financial information
has been correctly extracted from the underlying annual financial statements, which is available for inspection at the
registered office of the Company.
The financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Financial Director, Tony Dreisenstock and
have been audited by the Group’s auditors, Certified Master Auditors Inc, whose unqualified audit report is available
for inspection the registered office of the Company.
The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this announcement.
Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor’s
engagement they should obtain a copy of the audit report together with the accompanying financial information from the
Company’s registered office. Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has not
been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditor.
NATURE OF BUSINESS
PSV is an industrial engineering holding company comprising two operating business segments:
- Industrial Supplies (including industrial spares and supplies, crane/forklift maintenance and automotive
capital equipment); and
- Specialised Services (including comprehensive cryogenic and gas systems and geosynthetic linings).
INTRODUCTION
2014 was a year of consolidation for PSV. Cash flow was channelled into growth areas, the South African business
operations were restructured, whilst our foreign operations were re-focused, re-positioned and diversified into new
markets and customers.
During the course of the year, the Company restructured its local business operations into one operating company,
PSV Industrial (Pty) Ltd. The restructuring should facilitate economies of scale in several areas of operation, but will
also streamline treasury, working capital and tax management. The tax benefits are immediately apparent by the
creation of a substantial deferred tax asset at year end, whilst other economic benefits will flow in the new financial
year.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Despite a slight increase in revenue, the business experienced a difficult year with both gross margins and cash flow
coming under pressure. Reduced margins were principally caused by increased competition in virtually all sectors of
the business. The reduction in cash flows was primarily due to bad debts as well as substantial continued investment
in infrastructure in African Cryogenics and Turbo Agencies. An operating loss of R2,5 million was made for the year.
Total comprehensive income for the period settled at R2,0 million, an improvement from the loss of R20,8 million in
2013. Headline earnings per share improved from 2,43 cents per share (“cps”) to 2,70 cps.
Cash flow from operating activities declined principally due to loss making contracts at Engineered Linings and
continued infrastructural development in Turbo Agencies and African Cryogenics. As a result, the Company’s
debt:equity ratio (net of cash) increased from 5,94% in 2013 to 10,15% in the current year. PSV ended the year with
cash and cash equivalents of R11,0 million, 34% less than in 2013 when the year ended on R16,7 million.
The Company’s balance sheet remained stable, with marginal improvements experienced in working capital ratios
and the Company’s net tangible asset per share increasing slightly from 22,09 cps in 2013 to 22,65 cps in 2014.
A new accounting system was implemented across the divisions, which puts in place a better foundation for aligned
and comparable financial information in the future. In addition, PSV has appointed BDO Spencer Steward as Internal
Auditor and the process has kicked off with a Risk Review which has been formulated into a managed Risk Register.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Industrial Supplies
This segment contributed 55% (2013: 52%) to the Group’s consolidated revenue at an average gross profit margin of
23.6% (2013: 27.3%).
Omnirapid has again performed well resulting in excellent growth, on the back of superior service delivery, expert
product knowledge to match client requirements and increased orders. Omnirapid remains a highly profitable and
cash generative business.
Turbo Agencies underwent a major management restructure as a result of the original owners departing. The
company continued to be profitable although at a reduced level despite this disruption. The company has succeeded
in diversifying its customer base into large mining groups in Zambia, refocusing its marketing and sales initiatives,
particularly in Botswana, and is in the process of bedding down substantial new crane maintenance, refurbishment
and spares contracts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”).
Specialised Services
Specialised Services contributed 45% (2013: 48%) to the Group’s consolidated revenue at an average gross profit
margin of 12,5% (2013: 16.0%).
African Cryogenics is transforming itself from a small regional cryogenic vessel manufacturer and solution provider
for industrial applications, into a global player operating out of a state of the art new manufacturing facility based in
Elandsfontein, Germiston. The business has budgeted for the acquisition of substantial capital equipment in the
coming year. The new factory combined with the new equipment will enable African Cryogenics to substantially
reduce turnaround times, facilitate materials handling, enhance productivity levels and cut production costs.
In the current year, the business invested a considerable amount into research and development into new road
tanker designs with a specific focus to improve load to weight ratios. These new tanker designs, coupled with the
new factory should enable African Cryogenics to start competing internationally within the next two years.
The investment in the new factory, capital equipment and research and development will forge a cash generative
and profitable business within the coming year.
Engineered Linings, a contract driven business, experienced a year in which the business suffered due to a major
customer going into business rescue, resulting in a substantial bad debt write off. In addition, unforeseen inclement
weather conditions caused the company to incur substantial losses on a major contract in Gauteng. These factors
necessitated the restructuring of its business operations. This restructuring manifested inter alia in a downsizing of
the Johannesburg branch office, and a cut back in operating costs. With ongoing restructuring we expect the
business to return to profitability within the next two years.
DISPOSAL OF MITECH
On 13 May 2013, PSV announced the disposal of the Mitech business. The rationale for the disposal was that Mitech
did not meet PSV’s return on investment targets. Mitech was sold for a total consideration of R7 million in cash. The
effective date of the disposal was 1 April 2013. PSV made a consolidated loss on the disposal of Mitech of under R5
million, of which R1,6 million was a cash loss incurred in writing off an inter-company loan. The balance represented
a non–cash flow reversal of fixed asset revaluation gains previously booked to income.
For additional information on the disposal of Mitech please refer to the 2013 Integrated Report available on the
website at www.psvholdings.com in the Investor Relations section under Annual Reports.
DIVIDENDS
The Group will continue to retain and utilise cash generated to fund working capital requirements and as such, no
dividends were declared or proposed. The Board reviews the dividend policy annually.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD
On 5 June 2013 it was announced on SENS that Peter Robinson resigned as a non-executive director with effect from
4 June 2013.
CHANGE IN TRANSFER SECRETARY
On 11 October 2013, it was announced on SENS that Link Market Services South Africa Proprietary Limited replaced
Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited as PSV’s transfer secretary with effect from 1 November 2013.
LITIGATION STATEMENT
Further to the disposal of Groupline Projects Proprietary Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSV, in 2011, the
purchaser has declared a dispute on the basis of a supposed breach of warranties contained in the Sale of Shares
Agreement. The Group has aggressively opposed this action. Consequently the parties have entered into arbitration
to resolve the dispute. The arbitration hearing will be sometime in the new financial year. After consultation with the
Group’s auditors, no provision has been made in the Group accounts for any potential loss arising from this dispute.
Other than the above, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings, including any such proceedings that are pending
or threatened, of which PSV is aware that may have, or have had during the 12 months preceding the date of the
Integrated Annual Report, a material effect on the financial position of the Group.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As announced on SENS on 12 May 2014, PSV has entered into negotiations, which if successfully concluded, may
have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities. There are no other material subsequent events that
require disclosure.
PROSPECTS
The management of PSV believe that a good foundation for the year ahead is in place for Omnirapid, Turbo Agencies
and African Cryogenics. Omnirapid continues to operate a lean business with manageable growth in new clients
based on product knowledge and excellent client service.
External and difficult market conditions locally and in Africa have taken their toll on Engineered Linings and PSV
foresees that this business will take longer to turn around than was initially expected. The company is being closely
monitored.
The extensive product range on offer in both Botswana, Zambia and the DRC remains in place and coupled with
quality service, should see Turbo Agencies producing better results into the future. The opening of a branch office in
Solwezi in the North West province of Zambia will allow Turbo Agencies to exploit the current mining boom in the
area.
The future for African Cryogenics is looking brighter as the company has evolved its product offering suite to include
comprehensive cryogenic and gas systems rather than only generic equipment.
