Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months ended 30 June 2014
Highlights
Headline earnings increased by 96%
Total assets exceed R7 billion
INAV increased to R18.59 per share
Commentary
Profit for the period under review improved significantly to R309 million
from R165 million in the comparative period mainly as a result of positive
fair value adjustments in underlying investments. Gross assets increased to
R7.2 billion, up from R6.8 billion at 31 December 2013. Intrinsic Net Asset
Value also increased steadily from the previous period. The smaller increase
in Net Asset Value was primarily due to distributions made by an associate
and a subsidiary totalling R97.2 million in which the Company did not
participate. Headline earnings per share increased by 96% from 61.7 cents
per share to 120.9 cents per share.
Activity during the period under review was driven by further acquisitions
and efficient restructuring of financial arrangements which contributed
positively to these financial results. The Company also concluded a specific
repurchase of its shares from a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Brimstone Portfolio
SUBSIDIARIES
Sea Harvest
Catches in the first six months of 2014 were well ahead of prior year,
driven by better vessel utilisation and increased catch rates. Both the wet
fish and freezer fleets performed well. The higher volumes positively
impacted the land-based operations.
Sales were strong both locally and internationally with firm demand for hake.
This resulted in good price increases being achieved in both the local and
export markets in real terms. The favourable exchange rate further supported
pricing. Revenue was 14% higher than the prior comparative period. Sea
Harvest maintained its position as a market leader in the South African
frozen fish retail segment.
Operating profit before interest and exceptional items increased by 30% to
R66.15 million.
Lion of Africa
Gross written premiums increased by 5.8% to R378.5 million for the reporting
period. The challenging underwriting conditions continued during the
period under review, resulting in Lion of Africa reporting an after tax loss
of R31.8m for the period. Brimstone further capitalised Lion of Africa with
an investment of R25 million during the period.
House of Monatic
Turnover decreased by 7% to R82.7 million mainly as a result of retail
clothing chain stores delaying the take up of orders. Net profit decreased
to R0.8 million for the period while employment levels remained static at
around 800 staff. House of Monatic (HOM) continues to increase its share of
the corporate wear market as well as exports into sub-Saharan Africa. HOM
expanded its retail presence by the roll out of three C2 branded concept
stores with more stores envisaged.
ASSOCIATES
Oceana
Oceana's share price closed at R87.00 per share, up from R82.00 per share at
31 December 2013. Brimstone received dividends of R21.3 million from Oceana
during the period under review and recorded R29.4 million in equity
accounted earnings based on its reported six month earnings to 31 March 2014.
Aon Re Africa
Aon Re Africa is the leading reinsurance broker licensed and operating in
South Africa and the rest of Africa. Aon Re continued to successfully secure
new business across all divisions which resulted in solid organic growth,
especially outside of South Africa. Brimstone received a dividend of
R7.5 million from Aon Re Africa and recorded R0.9 million in equity
accounted earnings during the review period.
The Scientific Group
The Scientific Group provides instrumentation and consumables to pathology
laboratories as well as medical devices to both public and private
hospitals and maintained strong results for the six month period to
30 June 2014. Turnover and profitability increased through a strong
performance in the pathology and bioscience divisions and as a result
of distribution rights secured for a cardiology product portfolio for
the medical division in the prior financial year. Management remains
mindful of margin pressure, given current market conditions and a
deterioration of the Rand against major currencies during the reporting
period. Brimstone recorded R0.63 million in equity accounted earnings
from The Scientific Group.
Afena Capital
Afena Capital is an investment management firm that offers specialist
equity and balanced portfolios serving the South African institutional
market. Brimstone received a dividend of R2.6 million and recorded
R2.0 million in equity accounted losses from Afena Capital during the
period under review.
