Commentary
Overview - record results endorse ADvTECH's sustained growth and expansion strategy
The directors are pleased to release record interim results which highlight the acceleration and momentum behind the Group's financial performance.
This is the outcome of years of focus on sustained growth, made possible by strong and deep strategic management and significant financial capacity as
reflected in the Group's strong balance sheet and cash flow.
Strong revenue growth and margin improvement was achieved in all three Divisions and has led to a substantial improvement in operating profit. While
this is tempered at earnings level by interest charges arising from the funding of large acquisitions in recent months, the strength of the Group's
increasing cash flow will offset these charges in the medium term.
Revenue increased by 33%, led by an improvement of 51% in Schools and 20% in Tertiary, as strong enrolment growth highlighted in the table below
translated into revenues. The bulk of enrolment growth in the last two years has been delivered by planned and organic expansion with recent
acquisitions now also making a considerable contribution.
Student enrolment
2013 2014 2015
Students (Schools and Tertiary) ('000) 30 34 48
Acquisitive growth (y-o-y) 23%
Planned and organic growth (y-o-y) 13% 18%
Operating profit increased by R86 million or 73% as economies of scale and margin improvements were achieved throughout the Group with overall
operating margin increasing from 12% to 16%. Increased interest costs of R51 million and a consistent taxation rate brought profit after taxation to
R105 million, an increase of 29%. Notably, all of the earnings increase in this period was delivered in effect by organic growth as the interest cost arising
from acquisitions offset the operating profit contribution they made. No additional central overheads were needed and the acquisitions are expected to
contribute to organic earnings growth from next year as strong enrolment growth flows through to utilise existing schools capacity.
Schools division consolidates premium sector leadership and expands into mid and lower fee market
The Schools division leads the premium independent schools sector and has started to expand into the mid and lower fee segments, as well as extend
our scope further into other African markets. The Division now consists of 76 (2014: 44) schools across 40 campuses under the brands: Abbotts College,
ADvTECH Academies, Centurus Colleges, CrawfordSchoolsTM, Junior Colleges, Maravest Group and Trinityhouse.
ADvTECH Academies, the recently launched umbrella brand for community orientated schools at a range of fee levels, already numbers six schools with
enrolments exceeding 2 200. The Academies brand is expected to grow rapidly, with four additional sites already secured.
The Schools division contributed 53% of Group revenue and grew by 51% to R683 million. Operating profit grew by 88% to R132 million and the
operating margin increased from 15% to 19%. This reflects the impact of the organic investments of the last few years as the Division starts reaping the
benefits of scale and schools move up the "J-curve" of initial high investment and low student enrolment. This trend will continue as each successive
annual cohort of pupils fills up the new and expanded schools capacity.

Students enrolled ('000) 13 14 24
Ultimate capacity of existing sites ('000) 17 20 35 16
% of school capacity available 24% 30% 31%
The strength and depth of management enabled the Schools division to assimilate rapidly and effectively the recent large investments, and continues to
offer consistently improved academic and management support to the operations. Consequently, the Division is well positioned to execute its major
role in the Group's continuing investment plans.
Tertiary division grows footprint of national brands and delivers increased profits and margin growth
The Tertiary division comprises The Independent Institute of Education (IIE) which operates Rosebank College, Vega, The Design School Southern Africa,
Varsity College (including The Business School at Varsity College) and Forbes Lever Baker (FLB). The Division has a national urban footprint of 20
campuses with an institutional structure that enhances academic leadership and governance.
The Division contributed 39% of Group revenue and grew by 20% to R492 million, as a result of organic student growth. Operating profit grew 51% to
R64 million and the operating margins increased from 10% to 13%, signalling the start of improving margin performance.
2015 marks a return to significant new investment and growth opportunities for the Tertiary division with three revamped Vega campuses opening this
year. With the re-positioned Rosebank College continuing to perform well, two new campuses will open in 2016 and are specifically designed to support
innovative and technology enabled learning strategies.
This Division has embraced the technological revolution in education. All students are fully supported on the Group's Student Administration System
(SAM), while almost half are receiving comprehensive learning materials, content, assignments and assessments through the new market leading
Learning Management System (LMS). This has enabled more focus on support for students thus improving their learning experience in innovative ways.
The LMS gives the Division new capacity to extend its footprint to reach new markets and new geographies using the power of technology.
Resourcing division consolidates market leadership, doubling both operating profits and margins
The Resourcing division includes permanent and temporary staffing solutions as well as recruitment advertising, e-Recruitment and advertising response
handling. The portfolio of brands includes Brent Personnel, Cassel & Company, Communicate Personnel, Inkokheli HR Appointments, Insource.ICT, IT
Edge, Network Recruitment, Tech-Pro Personnel and The Working Earth.
Despite the staffing sector remaining constrained with little sign of increased hiring, the Division continued to maintain its leading position in key market
niches. In response to the challenging operating environment, management implemented consultant development and retention plans and focused
the business selectively on the most promising market segments.
The Division contributed 8% of Group revenue and grew by 7% to R104 million. Operating profit increased by 97% to R12 million and operating margins
increased from 6% to 12%.
Financial
Return on funds employed (ROFE) is a key performance area for management and remains well ahead of the benchmark set by the Board, namely cost
of capital (approximately 11%) plus 5%. ROFE declined marginally to 19% (2014: 23%) due to the new investments which impacted on the drivers of
ROFE - principally, the average age of the assets decreased which lessened the benefit derived from inflation, and the proportion of unutilised capacity
increased, which dampened margins. As operating contribution and margins increase with organic growth, ROFE is expected to improve.
Free operating cash flow grew by 36% to R363 million driven by improved business performance and tight working capital management. The debtors'
book was maintained in good shape, increasing at a slower rate than revenue. Fees received in advance increased by 26% to R579 million, which
indicates that the Group has already banked a large proportion of second half revenue.
Cash generated by operating activities of R461 million together with financing inflows of R1 172 million has enabled the payment of investments and
capex of R1 527 million, finance costs of R51 million, taxation of R47 million and dividends of R62 million.
Capital structure and funding
Net Group gearing as at 30 June 2015 reflects a debt to equity ratio of 132%. While this is well within the Group's covenants with its bankers, ABSA
(member of Barclays), it is evident that the Group's accessible funds to maintain its accelerating investment plan will become constrained. The Group
holds or is securing 20 sites for expansion and development. The Board has approved further new investments as part of the previously-announced
R3 billion rolling capital expansions programme, and management has identified and is developing other new projects totalling almost R1 billion.
The Board is therefore considering the optimal capital structure for the Group and is formulating a financing strategy that it believes will allow it to
sustain this accelerating growth strategy in the most efficient manner. In particular, the Board believes it is important to have certainty of access to
various funding sources in order to be best positioned to execute in competitive situations.
As part of this process ADvTECH is looking to put in place long-term debt facilities which will be used to refinance existing bank borrowings. This will
allow the Group to raise further debt facilities as and when needed and thus enhance the scope and flexibility of ADvTECH's planning and the execution
of its growth and acquisition strategy.
The Curro approach
During the period, ADvTECH received an unsolicited approach from Curro to acquire the Group. While conditional and unclear on several key issues, the
proposal was in the form of a Scheme of Arrangement that required the Board to consider its merits for ADvTECH as a whole. In line with its fiduciary
duties, the Board took due care in evaluating the proposal. This included consultation with independent advisers and a wide range of stakeholders,
including Curro themselves and certain minority shareholders who were supportive of the proposal.
Having considered the proposal, the Board's unanimous view was that the proposal was not in the best interests of the Group and this was therefore
rejected.
The Board was greatly encouraged by strong support received from the stakeholder community and the majority of shareholders for its stance on
reputation and quality. ADvTECH has rededicated itself to upholding these values in its pursuit of excellence and long term sustainability. The Group
continues to invest in quality student outcomes as fundamental elements of its offering and a driver of its success.
Declaration of interim dividend no 12
The Board is pleased to announce the declaration of an interim gross dividend of 12.5 cents (2014: 11.0 cents) per ordinary share in respect of the half
year to 30 June 2015.
This is a dividend as defined in the Income Tax Act, 1962, and is payable from income reserves. The South African Dividend Taxation (DT) rate is 15%. The
net amount per share payable to shareholders who are not exempt from DT is 10.625 cents per share, while it is 12.5 cents per share to those
shareholders who are exempt from DT.
There are 454 960 916 ordinary shares in issue; the total dividend amount payable is R57 million.
The salient dates and times applicable to the dividend referred to above are as follows:
2015
Declaration date Friday, 21 August
Announcement of declaration Monday, 24 August
Last day to trade in order to participate in the dividend Friday, 11 September
Trading commences ex-dividend Monday, 14 September

Share certificates may not be dematerialised between Monday, 14 September 2015 and Friday, 18 September 2015, both days inclusive.
Directorate - Chris Boulle succeeds Jeff Livingstone as Chairman
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 28 July 2015 Acting chairman Jeff Livingstone's retirement from the Board was announced. Jeff served the
Board for seven years in various capacities. The Board acknowledges and thanks Jeff warmly for his vital contribution over these years, and especially his
leadership through turbulent times in the last year. His wise counsel and guidance will be missed. Chris Boulle, who has served on the Board since 2011,
was unanimously elected to succeed Jeff as Chairman.
At the AGM, the Board also announced the appointment of Keith Warburton as an independent non-executive director and looks forward to his
contribution.
As a result of increased work commitments, Mteto Nyati resigned as a director on 3 August 2015. His valuable contribution to the Board was all too brief
and the directors wish him well in his new role as head of MTN SA.
Prospects
The Board is clear that the Group's values, development strategy and market position stand firmly on their own merit. Accordingly, the Board is resolved
that all possible steps should be taken to ensure that the necessary resources are available and the operational environment is created to allow this
strategy to be executed. These results, representing as they do the commencement of an exciting period of growth and development, lend weight to
this argument.
The significant additional capacity created by ADvTECH's investment programme and the successful student enrolment strategy means that the Group
offers "baked in" growth prospects for many years to come. At the same time the Group continues to drive further growth by rolling out its investment
strategy as illustrated in the following tables:
