OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

KAP continued to grow through investment in strategically aligned businesses and operations with high barriers to entry, which enhance 
the group’s quality of earnings in respect of sustainability, solid margins and strong cash conversion. The disciplined execution 
of the group’s strategy produced pleasing results for the period.  

The results of the group are reported in three segments as follows:

Diversified industrial

Integrated timber - Forestry and timber manufacturing operations with primary and secondary processing
Automotive components - Manufacture of vehicle accessories and components used in new vehicle assembly
Integrated bedding - Manufacture of foam, fabrics, springs, bases and mattresses

Diversified chemical

Polymers - Manufacture of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Resins - Manufacture of urea formaldehyde (UF) resins and impregnated paper

Diversified logistics

Contractual logistics - Specialised contractual supply chain and logistics services
Passenger transport - Personnel, commuter, intercity and tourism transport

Revenue

Diversified industrial - 28%
Diversified chemical - 33%
Diversified logistics - 39%

Operating profit 

Diversified industrial - 37%
Diversified chemical - 27%
Diversified logistics - 36%

Total assets 

Diversified industrial - 37%
Diversified chemical - 34%
Diversified logistics - 29%

Revenue from the diversified industrial segment increased by 4% to R3.4 billion, while the operating profit of the segment increased 
by 14% to R519 million.

The integrated timber division performed well for the period. Recent upgrades to the primary manufacturing plant and the addition 
of value-adding capacity supported revenue growth and enhanced margins through efficiency improvements and operating cost savings. 
The division’s pole operations were negatively impacted by the extended drought in the Western Cape region, while its forestry 
and sawmilling operations both continued to show growth.

Increased market share resulting from recent new model introductions provided strong support to the automotive components division, 
which achieved healthy growth in spite of lower new vehicle assembly volumes for the industry. A major new model introduction was 
successfully commissioned during the period. 

The integrated bedding division benefited from increased industry volumes. The fully integrated model provides for added benefit through 
the division’s sales of both bedding components and complete mattress and base sets. Operating profit growth and margin improvement were 
further supported by the consolidation of the division’s Johannesburg operations and new technology manufacturing equipment commissioned 
during the period.

Revenue from the diversified chemical segment increased by 148% to R3.9 billion, while the operating profit of the segment increased 
by 106% to R385 million.

Safripol performed ahead of expectation for the period. Operations continued to run at capacity, with strong demand for both HDPE 
(high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene). Good progress was made during the period with the integration of this operation 
into the group and on various cost-saving initiatives and margin improvement projects.

The performance of Hosaf was disappointing as a result of several weeks’ delay in the commissioning of a major expansion to its PET 
(polyethylene terephthalate) plant. Revenue, margin and operating profit were negatively affected as a result. The project is nearing 
completion with production ramp-up well advanced. Demand for PET remains strong, which will support the expansion when operating 
at full capacity. 

Woodchem continued to operate at capacity with stable demand for its formaldehyde, resin and impregnated paper products. 

Revenue from the diversified logistics segment increased by 3% to R4.6 billion, while the operating profit of the segment increased 
by 4% to R500 million.

The contractual logistics division performed well for the period in the context of subdued market conditions. Recent management 
appointments and operating structure changes have resulted in a more focused and efficient business. Margins have stabilised in line 
with expectation, while certain key long-term contracts were successfully renewed during the period. Activity levels in all major 
sectors of operation showed improvement. 

The passenger transport division performed well for the period, with the exception of the intercity business, which continued to feel 
the impact of lower passenger numbers and increased competitor activity. The commuter, personnel and tourism businesses showed good growth 
for the period, as did the division’s operations in Mozambique.


FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

These are the interim unaudited results for the six months ended 31 December 2017.

Revenue and operating profit before capital items
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 29% to R11.5 billion (H1:17 R8.9 billion). Operating profit before capital items from 
continuing operations increased by 25% to R1.4 billion (H1:17 R1.1 billion). Operating margin decreased to 12.2% (H1:17 12.6%), primarily 
as a result of the delayed start-up of the Hosaf PET expansion project and the impact thereof on revenue, margin and operating profit.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS)
HEPS from continuing operations increased by 11% to 28.3 cents (H1:17 25.5 cents). 

Tax rate
The effective tax rate decreased to 28.0% (H1:17 29.2%), mainly due to lower withholding taxes in relation to the group’s activities 
in the rest of Africa. 

Working capital
Net working capital increased by R1 018 million to R2 143 million, largely as a result of the acquisition of Safripol effective 
1 January 2017 and elevated inventory levels resulting from the delayed start-up of the Hosaf PET expansion project and port delays 
for related imported product. Inventories increased by R739 million and accounts receivable increased by R887 million, while accounts 
payable increased by R608 million. Normal seasonal investment in working capital took place due to peak trading, which will normalise
leading up to year-end.

Cash flow
Cash generated from operations before working capital changes increased by 24.6% to R2 billion (H1:17 R1.6 billion).

Capital expenditure
Replacement capital expenditure continues to be managed over time in relation to the annual depreciation charge and amounted 
to R486 million for the period (net of proceeds on disposal). Expansion capital expenditure of R483 million resulted from continued 
investment in the group’s asset base to drive growth and efficiency benefits. Capital expenditure was mainly directed towards completion 
of the Hosaf PET expansion project and the purchase of logistics and passenger transport vehicles.

Capital structure
In order to facilitate the various expansion activities of the group while maintaining a healthy capital structure, R1 500 million 
was raised through a fully subscribed rights issue in the prior year (December 2016). This resulted in a 7% increase in the weighted 
amount of shares in issue when comparing H1:18 to H1:17. Net interest-bearing debt increased by R4.8 billion to R7.5 billion as a result 
of the group’s acquisitions and capital investment activities, which took place in the last 18 months. The net debt: EBITDA ratio remains 
at a healthy 2.0 times and the EBITDA: interest cover ratio at 5.7 times, both well within target levels. The debt structure and capacity 
ratios are reflected as follows:

The following funding activities were concluded during the period in order to facilitate longer dated maturities to accommodate 
future growth:

- R2 004 million raised through bond issuances, with 3 and 5 year tenures.
- R1 750 million of existing term loan facilities settled.
- The KAP bond programme increased from R5 billion to R10 billion.

The recent bond issuances and settlements of term facilities have resulted in an extended debt maturity profile.

Net asset value (NAV) 
The NAV per share increased by 9% to 420 cents from 387 cents.


ACQUISITIONS

The group concluded the following corporate transactions during the period, in accordance with its strategy: 

- Support-a-Paedic (Pty) Ltd and RME Components (Pty) Ltd were acquired effective 1 December 2017 for R48 million, in order to provide 
  the integrated bedding division with access to new markets and bedding brands.

- On 1 December 2017, Southern Star Logistics (Pty) Ltd (a 50% owned subsidiary) was formed in order to facilitate growth in the Swaziland 
  territory. Certain assets from KAP-owned subsidiaries Unitrans Swaziland (Pty) Ltd and Unitrans Agricultural Services (Pty) Ltd were 
  combined with a R92 million contribution of assets from an external party, South Star Investments (Pty) Ltd.

- KAP acquired 45% of minority interests in Crystal Cool Holdings (Pty) Ltd on 1 July 2017 for R10 million, in order to consolidate 
  and streamline operations.

- The disposal of 23% of Feltex Fehrer (Pty) Ltd to the automotive components division’s technology partner, F.S. Fehrer Automotive GmbH, 
  was concluded effective 1 July 2017 for R58 million in terms of a call option.

OUTLOOK

Several acquisitions and major expansionary capital projects were concluded during the 2017 calendar year. Management is focused 
on the successful integration of these acquisitions and on optimising its expanded operations in order to realise full value for capital 
invested. Management remains optimistic that these activities will provide continued growth and momentum to the group and will facilitate 
further expansion in time.

The PG Bison Piet Retief phase one particleboard upgrade in the integrated timber division, the new vehicle model introductions 
in the automotive components division and the new technology investments in the integrated bedding division will be the primary 
drivers of growth for the diversified industrial segment. The expansion of the Hosaf PET facility in the diversified chemical segment 
will enhance revenue, margin and operating profit growth. Recent contract renewals and the pending conclusion of a B-BBEE transaction 
in the contractual logistics division provide a solid platform for continued growth in the diversified logistics segment.

The diverse nature of the group’s operations, with exposure to various sectors, business models and currencies and continued investment 
in organic and acquisitive expansion, underpins the continued growth of the group.


INTERIM DIVIDEND

In line with historic policy the board of directors has not declared an interim dividend.


APPRECIATION

The board of directors records its appreciation for the continued support and loyalty of the group’s employees, shareholders, 
customers and suppliers.

SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. Statement of compliance
   The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared and presented in accordance with the framework concepts 
   and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting 
   Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the financial pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards 
   Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the information as required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting and the 
   requirements of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008. The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared 
   using accounting policies that comply with IFRS, which are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements 
   for the year ended 30 June 2017.

2. Basis of preparation
   The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in millions of South African rand (Rm) on the historical-cost 
   basis, except for certain assets and liabilities, which are carried at amortised cost, and derivative financial instruments and 
   consumable biological assets, which are stated at their fair values. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial 
   statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 was supervised by Frans Olivier CA(SA), the group’s chief financial officer.

3. Changes to comparative results
   The prior period’s income statement has been restated to reflect the discontinued operations of Glodina, a division of KAP Homeware 
   (Pty) Ltd. The comparative cash flow has been represented to include interest capitalised in accordance with IAS 23: Borrowing Costs, 
   in net finance charges, previously included in additions to property, plant and equipment and investment property. With the acquisition 
   of Safripol in the chemical division, the comparative information in the segmental analysis was restated in the new segments in which 
   the group is now structured, i.e. diversified industrial, diversified chemical and diversified logistics. The prior period segmental 
   operating profit before capital items has been restated by allocating head office costs to the different segments in line with the 
   current period. The segmental assets have also been restated to more accurately reflect the assets that generate operating profit. 
   All of the aforementioned changes have already been applied in the 30 June 2017 results.

4. Accounting policies
   The accounting policies utilised in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with 
   those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.

5. Financial statements
   These results have not been reviewed or reported on by the group’s auditors. The results were approved by the board of directors 
   on 12 February 2018.

6. Post-balance sheet events
   No significant events have occurred in the period between the end of the period under review and the date of this report.

7. Changes to the board/board committees
   With effect from 1 October 2017 Mr MJ Jooste and Mr AB la Grange resigned as non-executive directors. On the same date Mr TLR de Klerk 
   and Mr LJ du Preez were appointed as non-executive directors. There were no other changes to the board of directors during the period 
   under review.
