Commentary
enX is an industrial energy and supplies group that provides quality branded 
and in some segments, locally manufactured capital and consumable goods and 
support services to a broad range of economic sectors in South Africa and 
sub-Saharan Africa. Clients range from heavy industrial, automotive, mining 
and construction groups to wholesalers, retailers, technology and 
telecommunications companies, banks and manufacturers. Adding value to 
the products sold by offering ongoing servicing and customer support is 
a key component of enX’s business model.

enX currently comprises three business segments:
* Power segment (“Power”) incorporates:
– Private Power Sales: The manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance 
of diesel generators and related components
– Power Product Distribution: The distribution of industrial engines, 
marine engines and components
– Temporary Power: Rental of temporary power in the form of diesel generators
* Fuel and Chemicals segment (“Fuel”) incorporates the production and 
marketing of oil lubricants in sub-Saharan Africa. An effective 100% 
shareholding in Centlube Proprietary Limited (“Centlube”) was acquired 
by the group on 1 December 2014.
* Wood segment (“Wood”) encompasses the distribution of professional 
woodworking equipment, tooling and edging and provision of associated 
services such as blade sharpening and equipment maintenance.
Group subsidiaries currently include:
* New Way Power Proprietary Limited
* PowerO2 Proprietary Limited
* Austro Proprietary Limited
* Centlube Proprietary Limited

Results
The board is pleased to present the results of enX for the financial year 
ended 31 August 2015. The year has been a tale of two halves. The first 
six months trading was subdued. However, enX has more than recovered the 
lost ground in the second six months. The Power segment delivered a strong 
performance and Centlube successfully transitioned the ExxonMobil 
distributorship from Engen despite the customary teething problems 
associated with a new business. The turnaround at Wood was sustained, 
although the segment’s profitability declined.

Revenue for the year increased 51% to R882,8 million (2014: R585,0 million) 
with all segments showing healthy revenue growth in addition to the new 
revenue delivered by Centlube. Group wide gross margins remained stable 
despite significant exchange rate depreciation. Operating expenses increased 
39% on the prior year, primarily due to the inclusion of Centlube in the group.

Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) 
increased 52% to R49,2 million (2014: R32,4 million). Consistent with prior 
year disclosure, management has elected to disclose adjusted EBITDA which 
provides a more meaningful reflection of sustainable earnings. Adjusted 
EBITDA increased 34% to R66,3 million (2014: R49,4 million) at an adjusted 
EBITDA margin relative to revenue of 7,5% (2014: 8,4%). The adjustments to 
EBITDA arise from:
* an IFRS2 charge of R15,5 million (2014: R13,8 million) relating to the 
provision for long-term share-related incentives awarded to Wild Rose 
Management Proprietary Limited (formerly JFN Management Proprietary 
Limited) and enX staff;
* the release of a provision for the straight-lining of an operating 
lease of R9,3 million. The lease at New Way Power’s Johannesburg property 
was renegotiated in the current period and the provision is no longer 
required in terms of IFRS; and
* a goodwill impairment of R11,0 million relating to the Centlube acquisition 
that arose as a result of an increase in the enX share price between the 
R1,45 issue price agreed in the acquisition agreement and the share price 
at the effective date of the transaction. The company has elected to 
immediately impair this portion of goodwill since the value placed on 
the Centlube acquisition as a result of the application of IFRS does 
not reflect the value placed on Centlube by the board at the date of 
concluding the transaction. The board wishes to reflect the fair market 
value of the business on enX’s statement of financial position.

The group has material foreign currency exposure as a result of importing 
many of our product components and finished product. Where necessary our 
currency exposures are hedged and whenever commercially possible, the 
resulting increase in input costs are incorporated into our sales prices. 
As a precautionary measure during the take-on of the ExxonMobil 
distributorship, Centlube held a significantly higher level of 
safety stock to ensure its strategic customers did not run out of
product. This additional stock holding, which is US Dollar denominated, 
was unhedged. This was the primary driver behind a foreign exchange loss 
of R16,2 million being incurred by the group. Had this loss not
occurred, adjusted EBITDA would have increased 67% to R82,5 million. 
Our excess stock holdings are being reduced and all necessary currency 
exposures are now hedged. In addition, quarterly foreign exchange
pricing adjustments have been instituted with customers that have 
fixed pricing arrangements.

The effective tax rate for the financial year was 34% primarily as a 
result of the impairment of goodwill. This compares to a lower 
effective tax rate of 2,5% in the prior financial year resulting 
from the recognition of a deferred tax asset in respect of the 
assessed loss at Wood, not fully recognised previously.

Headline earnings increased 30% to R31,6 million (2014: R24,2 million). 
This translates into headline earnings per share of 7,6 cents 
(2014: 6,1 cents). Adjusted headline earnings of R36,1 million 
increased by 5% (2014: R34,4 million) and translated into adjusted 
headline earnings per share of 8,7 cents (2014: 8,7 cents). The 
impact of the loss on foreign exchange transactions amounts to 
2,8 cents per share.

Net working capital increased during the financial year by R85 million 
as a result of the acquisition of Centlube, introduction of the 
ExxonMobil distributorship and investment in engine inventories 
to support the higher demand in the Power segment. The company 
took advantage of generous credit terms extended by ExxonMobil to 
partially fund inventory purchases which also led to the increase 
in trade and other payables. These credit terms have since been 
normalised and replaced by group facilities.

Cash outflows from operations and investing activities amounted to 
R148,3 million. Capital expenditure was incurred increasing the 
size of the Power rental fleet, replacing service vehicles, plant 
improvements and purchasing bulk installation equipment. Cash 
resources were utilised for the acquisition of Centlube and 
investment in working capital. These cash outflows were funded by 
existing cash resources and new credit facilities, including a 
bridge loan of R27,5 million from Wild Rose Capital Proprietary 
Limited (formerly Ricophase Proprietary Limited), one of enX’s 
largest shareholders. The group made good strides improving
its capital structure, having raised R130 million in new credit and 
trading facilities. This will improve flexibility to take advantage 
of attractive trading opportunities, improve trading terms with 
foreign suppliers and manage exchange control fluctuations.

Operational review
Power
Revenue from Private Power Sales increased 20% to R428,3 million 
(2014: R357,4 million). While revenues for the first half of the 
year were flat, second half revenues of R279,3 million increased 
by 30% year on year (2014: R215,6 million). Adjusted EBITDA 
increased 44% to R38,6 million (2014: R26,9 million), representing 
a margin relative to revenue of 9% (2014: 7,5%). All sub-segments 
showed strong growth over the prior year.

Fuel
Centlube was consolidated as part of the group with effect from 
1 December 2014. In the nine months of trading to 31 August 2015 
the business generated revenue of R210,0 million and adjusted 
EBITDA of R8,0 million. Excluding the R13,7 million loss of 
foreign exchange transactions, EBITDA would have amounted to 
R21,7 million. Centlube began distributing Mobil lubricants with 
effect from January 2015. Monthly volumes and revenues have 
increased significantly. A substantial amount of inventory was 
purchased to take on the distributorship and ensure continued 
supply to customers. Having successfully transitioned strategic 
customers, these inventories are being normalised. ENI gross 
margins were strong although volumes were slightly down. Toll 
blending business continues to show healthy growth.

Wood
The Wood business sustained its turnaround following the 
restructure completed in 2013. Revenue increased 12% to 
R218,2 million (2014: R195,1 million) on the back of strong 
equipment sales. Gross margins saw some contraction as a 
result of the change in sales mix from higher margin 
consumables to equipment. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to 
R17,4 million (2014: R24,8 million) due to the change in 
sales mix and investment in technical staff required to 
support our customers and drive the service component 
of the business.

Matase
In September 2014, the group’s enterprise development 
vehicle, Matase Power Systems Proprietary Limited, was 
restructured to become an associate of enX, with the 
group reducing its shareholding to 25% (previously 49,9%, 
but consolidated in terms of IFRS). 75% of the shares are 
held by empowerment shareholders. Matase has since 
been renamed Matase Industrial Solutions Proprietary 
Limited and is rated a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor. 
Matase targets primarily the public sector and
distributes a broad range of industrial products 
including some of the products and services offered 
by enX.

Business combination – Centlube
With effect from 1 December 2014, the group acquired 
an effective 100% shareholding in Centlube and the 
assets and inventory of Centlube Atlantic CC for a 
purchase consideration settled in cash and the issue 
of enX shares.

The details of the net assets acquired through this 
business combination, for which the purchase price 
has been allocated to the respective assets and 
liabilities, are as follows:

If the group had acquired Centlube on 1 September 2014 the 
revenue contributed to the group would have been R239,4 million 
and a loss after tax of R1,2 million compared to R210,0 million 
revenue and a loss after tax of R0,2 million contributed from 
1 December 2014.

The purchase price allocation of the Centlube business 
combination is provisional and will be finalised on the 
one year anniversary of the business combination.

Prospects and risks
enX will continue to focus on growing its Power and Fuel segments 
organically and through acquisition. Trading for the first quarter 
has been positive. Capacity in our Power segment has increased 
and we are well positioned through our manufacturing capability, 
inventory holding, technical services and rental fleet to service 
increased demand for back-up power in the event further load shedding. 
Our order book remains healthy. Genmatics will be included for 
the full twelve months and early trading has exceeded expectations.

The 2016 financial year will also see results from Centlube 
being incorporated for the full twelve months. Having been 
integrated into enX, completed the ExxonMobil take-on 
phase and employed key executives, the business is now 
settled. We are focused on growing volumes in all parts 
of the business, improving gross margins and optimising 
inventories. Inventory levels are being run down and we 
expect them to reach target levels by mid 2016. We expect 
Centlube to become a material contributor to group revenue 
and profitability in the coming years.

The cost base of Wood is now properly aligned with its 
activity levels. This business will focus on growing 
high margin revenue lines and is expected to show 
reasonable year-on-year growth in profitability in 
line with the industry in which it operates.

The key risk to financial results in 2016 is the 
performance of the Rand. A sustained and rapid decline 
versus our trading currencies will increase input costs 
which we may not be able to pass onto customers or may 
result in a decline in volumes. Policies and procedures 
are in place to mitigate this risk as far as possible.
The group’s acquisition pipeline is promising. 

Subsequent events
Empowerment transaction
Building on enX’s commitment to grow its asset base and 
transform into a truly empowered company, the board is 
pleased to announce that the introduction of an additional 
25,01% B-BBEE equity participation in enX was successfully 
completed on 7 September 2015. 140 637 983 ordinary shares 
in enX were issued to Samvenice Trading 1 Proprietary Limited, 
a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapLeverage Proprietary Limited, 
for an aggregate subscription price of R213,8 million.

On the strength of this ownership transaction and the 
group’s various other empowerment initiatives, enX has 
recently been awarded a Level 4 B-BBEE rating.

Business combination
In line with management’s intention to expand the Temporary 
Power segment, the group announced on 17 September 2015 the 
acquisition of the diesel generator rental business of 
Galeprops 2661 CC (trading as Genmatics).

Genmatics operates a diesel generator rental business 
offering generators ranging in size from 30kVa to 1 500 kVa 
to clients across South Africa.

The transaction will give enX’s diesel generator rental 
business an immediate and substantial presence in 
KwaZulu-Natal, thereby establishing a national footprint. 
The combined fleet will be in excess of 240 units, 
ranging in size from 4 kVa to 1 500 kVa. This national 
presence and enhanced fleet will enable enX to service 
large customers and projects more effectively. In addition, 
enX will be better equipped to meet the higher demand 
for temporary power resulting from Eskom’s supply 
shortages and be able to improve the overall 
utilisation of its fleet.

The assets were acquired for a consideration of R60,4 million 
paid in cash. In addition, there are a further three 
instalments of R5 million each payable on the first, 
second and third anniversaries of the effective date 
on the basis that the vendor, Mr Tony Vassilatos, 
remains employed by the group. These instalments 
have been fair valued at approximately R12,5 million. 
The fair value of the assets acquired on a provisional 
basis is R42,8 million, with goodwill of R30,1 million 
recognised.

Dividend
In line with the group policy to reinvest for growth, 
no dividend has been declared for the year.

Changes in directorships
Ms M Motjope was appointed as an alternate director 
to PC Baloyi on 8 September 2015.

Following the successful conclusion of the empowerment 
transaction, non- executive director PC Baloyi is no 
longer considered independent. A process has been 
initiated to find another suitable independent non- 
executive director to re-balance the board of enX 
and ensure compliance with the Companies Act 
and King III.

The following changes have been made to board 
committees with immediate effect:
* PC Baloyi has resigned from the Audit and Risk 
Committee and has been replaced by PM Makwana;
* AJ Phillips has replaced PC Baloyi as chairman 
of the Remuneration Committee, who remains a 
member of this committee;
* PS O’Flaherty has resigned from the 
Remuneration Committee;
* PM Makwana has been appointed as chairman of 
the Nominations Committee with AJ Phillips 
and SB Joffe appointed as members.
