Commentary
Introduction
The abridged consolidated financial results for the year to 28 February 2015 ('the year')
reflect the results of a challenging period with the impact of legacy loss-making contracts
still reflected in the results. However, all legacy problem contracts have since been
completed, handed over and resolved.
In accordance with our 'back to basics' approach, the group has been restructured into
one construction unit with six product areas offering positive prospects, while capitalising
on Esor's strong brand. The business has been consolidated, including rationalising the
Civils operations.
Financial results
These results were impacted by the impairment of goodwill of R29,7 million and the fair
value write down of the contingent consideration from the disposal of the Geotechnical
business of R35,4 million and the operating loss of R48,3 million reported in the Civils
division.
Revenue was impacted by the group consolidation initiatives as well as the last effects
of loss-making contracts, and reduced by 9,1% to R1,45 billion. Earnings improved by 39,9%
to a loss of R99,9 million and improved by 53,8% against continuing operations from the
preceding period. This translated to a headline loss per share of 18,8 cents compared to
a headline loss of 11,3 cents and a headline loss from continuing operations of 24,4 cents
at February 2014. Gearing was lowered to 23,6% which was better than our target.
Safety
It is regrettable to report a fatality at the Northern Aqueduct project post year-end on
2 April 2015. Esor extends its condolences to the family. Any loss of life impacts the
wider Esor family too and steps have been put in place to prevent further such incidents.
During the year Esor improved its Lost Time Injury Frequency Ratio ('LTIFR') to 0,37
(2014: 0,59). The group continues to focus on leading indicators to ensure accidents
are prevented and on maintaining its ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditations.
Review of operations
The group continued to operate through three core divisions in the year: Esor Civils,
Esor Pipelines and Esor Developments, and reports accordingly. The restructuring into
a focused construction and developments group happened post year-end, effective
1 March 2015.
Esor Civils remained negatively impacted by macroeconomic conditions. Margins were tight,
with contracts which were tendered for in a tough environment now being executed in an
even more challenging landscape.
The Kusile contracts account for 60% of Esor Civils' revenue and approximately one-third
of group revenue. The division therefore focused on entrenching its strong relationship
with Eskom, who have proven a reliable debtor. The Kusile terrace underground facilities
works and the general services piping contracts are currently under way. The crushing
and bulk earthworks contracts are completed and claims have been finalised. Historical
claims on the terrace underground facilities contract, related to delays and disruptions,
were finalised in October 2014 and the settlement received in November 2014.
In the second half of the year Esor Civils successfully completed the Bakwena N4 road
contract, its most challenging loss-making contract. Now handed over, the N4 contract
incurred a further R56 million loss resulting from late completion, partly due to late
changes to the scope of works and the impact of the labour unrest at Marikana mine. This
loss was reported in the interim results.
The division successfully targeted refurbishment projects in the year, securing a contract
for the conversion of a Johannesburg inner city office block into residences. Other refurb
contracts currently under way include the upgrade of OR Tambo Duty Free for ACSA, and the
upgrade of Walter Sisulu square for the Johannesburg Development Agency. In addition, Esor
grew its footprint in the KwaZulu-Natal RDP housing market with two projects totalling
1 500 units. The group continues to pursue work in the sizable low-cost housing market.
Esor Pipelines has a solid, substantially full order book notwithstanding some project
cancellations and delays in the year, and continued to deliver a good performance in an
increasingly competitive market. The group successfully completed a number of key pipeline
projects. The division has successfully targeted work for eThekwini at the Western and
Northern aqueducts, which contracts are progressing well.
On the pipejacking front, Esor was awarded substantial work in the year and remains the
recognised leader in South Africa. The work, although mostly of a smaller nature, geographically
covers most of South Africa from Northern, North West, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng
provinces.
The pipelines order book comprises various long-term projects such as the Western and Northern
Aqueducts and new awards such as the Malkerns Canal project in Swaziland, the Lion Park and
Tshelimnyama pipelines contracts, also in KwaZulu-Natal. Esor continues to drive cross-border
expansion and has achieved success in Swaziland. However, procuring work in other SADC
countries is proving tougher, impacting time and costs.
The Esor Developments business is progressing well, with five developments in various phases
of planning and execution. In the year Esor concluded a joint venture agreement with Calgro M3
on the Diepsloot East integrated residential development project with our share being up to
R2 billion. Calgro M3 will be responsible for project development and management, an area we
need to outsource, with Esor retaining the 'right of first refusal' for the installation of
all engineering services and construction of 50% of the top structures. Esor's new prospective
development project in Khayelitsha township in the Western Cape means that the order book value
remained steady despite a drop in revenue in terms of the Calgro M3 joint venture.
Looking ahead, delays in spending the allocated budget on the Diepsloot project will impact
revenue in FY16.
CAPEX
Capital expenditure of R20,5 million (2014: R38 million from continuing operations) was incurred
during the year primarily to expand the capacity of the Pipelines division, which has resulted
in a relatively new and well-maintained fleet and well-equipped workshops. The plant capacity
has been rationalised and aligned with our future growth strategy.
Transformation
Esor maintained its Level 3 B-BBEE accreditation in terms the Department of Trade & Industry's
B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, and is targeting Level 2 by 2016 (based on the 2009 Construction
Sector Charter).
The Esor Broad Based Share Ownership Scheme ('EBBSOS') increased its shareholding during the
year and now holds a 5,32% stake in the company.
The group continues to invest heavily in enterprise development with eight SMMEs currently
receiving Esor's support.
Prospects
The board anticipates Esor's recovery to continue into the year ahead. Esor has been refocused
on what the group does well and profitably. The directors are confident that the streamlined
group is agile and nimble to go to where the work is and structured for profitability with clear
focus areas and improved synergies between disciplines.
Sanitation has been earmarked as an area of future opportunity following the Minister of Water
and Sanitation's stated commitment to improved access and better infrastructure, particularly
in rural areas. Esor, having substantially completed a large sanitation project for the eThekwini
Municipality, is able to leverage existing capacity and skills to accommodate this growth area.
The group will continue to focus on reducing debt and improving cash flow.
Directorate
As announced at interim results, a long-planned restructuring of the board was effected during
the year. The restructured board is operating well under the helm of Chairman Bernie Krone and
CEO Wessel van Zyl, supported by CFO Bruce Atkinson.
Oswald Franks was appointed as Lead Independent Director and three new independent non-executive
directors were added. Dave Thompson and Franklin Sonn retired as independent non-executive
Chairman and independent non-executive director, respectively, effective 21 August 2014.
Effective 21 August 2014 Heather Sonn and Eugene Erasmus were appointed as independent non-executive
directors, while Keneilwe Moloko was appointed as independent non-executive director effective
6 October 2014.
The new board continues to ensure compliance with governance and transformation requirements,
with a valuable mix of business, financial and engineering expertise.
Dividend declaration
In line with group policy, no dividend has been declared (2014: 38 cents interim dividend following
the disposal of the geotechnical business). It remains the policy of the group to review the dividend
policy annually in light of cash flow, gearing, capital requirements and bank covenants.
Events after the reporting date
As of 1 March 2015, Esor restructured the group into six product areas, namely:
Building/Housing
Developments
Infrastructure
Pipe services
Pipelines
Sanitation
On 2 March 2015, the company received notification from the Construction Industry Development
Board ('CIDB') that they were investigating those companies implicated in the Competition Commission
enquiry. We are currently in discussions with the CIDB to resolve the matter. The board of the CIDB,
on 12 May 2015, resolved to suspend the formal enquiry pending resolution of the legal challenges
to its regulations.
There were no other significant events after the reporting date.

Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss
The contingent consideration receivable, a Level 3 financial asset, arose from the
disposal of the discontinued operation in the comparative period, which includes a
clause that entitles the seller to an amount of R150 million if the discontinued
operation's cumulative EBITDA over the next three years exceeds a threshold. The
fair value is determined considering the estimated receivable, discounted to present
value. The fair value is based on key unobservable inputs of EBITDA growth of the
business of 3% and 12% in the years ending December 2015 and 2016 respectively, and
a discount factor of 9%. Prior year growth was calculated at 8%. The fair value was
determined by the group finance department. Scenarios on EBITDA growth were developed
by management together with management of the discontinued operation considering the
economy generally and their knowledge of the geotechnical business. The estimated fair
value increases the higher the annual EBITDA growth rate, the higher the EBITDA margin
and the lower the discount rate. Management considers that changing the above mentioned
unobservable inputs to reflect other reasonably possible alternative assumptions would
not result in a significant change in the estimated fair value.
