8.Taxation
The effective tax rate of 2.5% (2013: 8.5%) for the period was based on the anticipated
weighted average tax rate for the full financial year. The low tax rate is due to learnership
allowances as well as employment tax incentive income.

Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance.

The results for Workforce Holdings Limited for the first 6 months of 2014 are pleasing.
Consolidated revenue for the year increased by 12% to R872 million. Gross margins remained
consistent at 22% and operating expenses increased marginally by 4.1%. EBITDA as adjusted to
reflect continuing operations closed at R38.4 million, an increase of 51% on the same period
last year. Debtors days outstanding reduced to 49 days down from 51 days in the comparative
period. Cash flows from operating activities improved marginally to R5.5 million (2013: R2.8
million). Net interest bearing debt remained static at R199 million compared to December 2013.
Net debt to equity improved to 0.85:1 (2013: 0.95:1). Interest cover remains healthy at 4.5
times. Earnings per share increased by 231% to 9.6 cents per share.
The Group’s staffing and recruitment segment delivered average growth which is typical of the
first 6 months of the year. The impending legislative changes affected volumes negatively in
some clients, however these losses were mitigated by securing sizeable contracts which will
realise full value during the next reporting period.
The Training and Consulting segment of the Group continued with its recovery. Training Force,
the Group’s training subsidiary, increased revenue by 21% and reported a R3.7 million
turnaround in EBITDA.
The Financial and Lifestyle Products segment reported flat revenue growth with increased
operational costs as a result of investment in collection and debt recovery resources and
systems. The segment is expected to perform favourably against budget for the remainder of the
year.
Employee Health Management, trading under the brand Workforce Healthcare realised operational
cost savings through the implementation of new business processes and systems, which increased
EBITDA to R1.4 million. The Group made further investment in the Process Outsourcing segment
and managed to secure major contracts in this market. Earnings in this segment are expected to
increase during the next reporting period.
Incentives with regard to job creation and training will be to the advantage of the Group
given the significant role that we play in this regard. In January 2014 the employment tax
incentive (ETI) was introduced which seeks to incentivise companies that employ young job
seekers. The Group is already benefiting from these incentives and will continue to do so for
as long as these remain in place. In addition to this the Group continues to deliver on
learnerships and benefits from the associated tax incentives.
Management expects the positive trends developed in this reporting period to continue for the
rest of the year.
