Commentary
Introduction
Consolidated Infrastructure Group Limited ("CIG") is a pan-African
infrastructure-focused group with a diversified portfolio of operations in
Power, Building Materials, Oil & Gas and Rail. The group's footprint spans
South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
As cautioned in our 2017 Integrated Annual Report, the year proved to be an
extremely challenging period for the group. The combination of decreased demand
across all of the group's business sectors, the ongoing restructure initiatives
implemented in the largest subsidiary, Consolidated Power Projects Group
Limited ("Conco"), and increased borrowing costs resulting from the group's
sub-optimal capital structure, contributed to the group reporting a substantial
loss for the year.
The group reported a loss after taxation for the year of R2,028 million
(2017: loss of R150 million), on significantly lower revenues of
R2,706 million (2017: R4,369 million) and an EBITDA loss of R946 million
(2017: profit of R5 million). Included in the results were substantial
non-cash items, including the write-down of goodwill of R472 million, the
impairment of the carrying value of joint arrangements of R134 million
and the write-back of deferred tax assets recognised in previous periods.
Divisional overview
Power
Conco
- Revenue of R1,254 million (2017: R2,941 million)
- EBITDA loss of R1,061 million (2017: loss of R306 million)
- Closing order book of R4,7 billion (2017: R5,7 billion)
Conco supplies substations and delivers high voltage electrification work,
including wind farms and solar parks across Africa and the Middle East. The
business continued to be affected by difficult trading conditions which
resulted in a low order intake and slow execution of work. The ongoing
organisational restructure initiatives contributed to project cost overruns,
labour under-utilisation and a decline in morale. Legacy projects continued
to impact negatively on margins. The cumulative effect of these factors,
together with increased borrowing costs, resulted in a loss for Conco for
the year of R1,373 million.
The critical steps identified to restructure Conco, as outlined in the
2017 Integrated Annual Report, have been largely implemented and are expected
to yield benefits in future periods. The international and South African
operations have been combined into a single organisational structure and the
go-to-market functions have been segregated from operations, resulting in an
improved focus on project execution and margins.
The group incurred R89 million in retrenchment and restructuring costs over
the year. As a result of the restructuring, Conco has realised estimated
annualised savings of R340 million, with investment in working capital and
borrowings reduced accordingly. The Conco executive team has been strengthened
with the appointment of Jonny Dladla, previously a senior executive at Eskom
with over twenty years' experience in the energy sector, as CEO, effective
1 November 2018, with the appointment of a new CFO to be made in the
near future.
Power (excluding Conco)
- Revenue of R677 million (2017: R500 million)
- EBITDA of R250 million (2017: R178 million)
Conlog provides prepaid and smart electronic metering devices and solutions,
from design to distribution. Services for utilities and municipalities include
revenue management, revenue protection, pre-payment with smart load control
and load management. Conlog delivered a strong set of results for the year,
significantly exceeding the original earnings forecasts on acquisition and
the prior year's results. Its performance was boosted by the sale of
newer-generation products and a sales mix reflecting 80% of revenue derived
outside of South Africa.
Consolidated Power Maintenance ("CPM") maintains renewable energy sites and
transmission substations. The business continued to generate positive annuity
income for the group, marginally up on the prior year.
CIGenCo designs and develops mid-sized power generation projects in Africa.
The business delivered its maiden profit contribution to the group in the
year, with the Namibian Ejuva Solar Energy Projects reaching commercial
operation.
Rail
- Revenue of R259 million (2017: R394 million)
- EBITDA loss of R41 million (2017: profit of R42 million)
Tractionel specialises in the electrification of railways and the installation
of overhead traction equipment. The business experienced very difficult market
conditions during the year, contributing to a loss for the period.
Building Materials
- Revenue of R516 million (2017: R533 million)
- EBITDA of R75 million (2017: R99 million)
Drift Supersand mines a range of aggregates and West End Claybrick manufactures
clay bricks and concrete roof tiles. Given the local macro economic/trading
conditions, the division delivered a satisfactory performance for the year.
Oil & Gas
Angola Environmental Services ("AES") is a waste disposal service provider to
the oil and gas industry in Angola. Profit attributable to the AES joint venture
was in line with the prior year, whilst activity levels continued to be impacted
by the number of rigs in the market remaining at an all-time low.
Prospects
Across the continent, the opportunities for CIG's power businesses continue to
be driven by:
- Growth in renewable energy and off-grid industrial-scale opportunities in Africa;
- Leveraging the established regional presence/market experience of
group companies to geographically expand other group companies' products and
services; and
- Financing of grid infrastructure utilising export credit funding lines.
The key objective for Conco is to return to profitability. A three-year target
focusing on cash generated from operations has been set to help drive this goal,
and underpins the long-term incentive framework for the executive team. The
order book for the year was secured in accordance with the revised guidelines
for contract acceptance, taking into account baseline working capital
assumptions and margin and is adequate to stabilise performance. However,
the tail of legacy projects will continue to act as a drag on divisional
margins for the next twelve to eighteen months.
Conlog has exciting prospects both geographically and through innovative new
offerings. Progress has been made in supplying product into new markets. An
increased focus by utilities and municipalities on revenue collection is
spurring demand for prepaid meters and other growth opportunities, which may
include a rental offering. The business continues to innovate and in May 2018,
launched its new power line communication product, the BECX, which
strengthened and advanced its product range for improved competitiveness.
CPM's market is expanding as early stage REIPPPP original equipment
manufacturer ("OEM") maintenance contracts reach expiry. The global shift
to renewable energy will drive the growth trajectory for the business.
CIGenCo has a strong pipeline of development projects with a number of
opportunities identified across the continent. The group is examining
alternative funding structures for CIGenCo to alleviate the pressure on
capital availability and to allow the business to build on its recent
accomplishments.
The Tractionel short-term order book remains sub-optimal and, unless market
conditions improve, will result in continued losses in 2019. In the longer term,
there are a number of opportunities which, if successful, should see the
business return to previous levels of profitability.
The Building Materials division anticipates moderate growth in the year ahead
as infrastructure and related spending improves in the run-up to the national
elections in mid-2019. Operational plans have been developed to mitigate any
effects of a further deterioration in market conditions, should they materialise.
The market for Oil & Gas services in Angola is expected to begin to gradually
pick up in 2019. AES is debt free and well-positioned to capitalise on market
growth and to improve profitability.
Material non-recurring items
The results for the year included a number of once-off, non-cash adjustments,
including:
Goodwill impairment
The group has impaired the entire Conco goodwill of R397 million. In addition,
notwithstanding early signs of market improvement in rail towards the end of the
year, the rail sector remains a challenge and CIG has impaired the goodwill
raised on the acquisition of Tractionel by R72 million.
Write-down in the carrying value of the AES joint arrangement
The carrying value of the AES joint venture has been adjusted in line with
future market projections, resulting in an impairment of R134 million.
Deferred tax asset write-down
In the prior financial year, a deferred tax asset of R105 million was raised
as a result of losses incurred within Conco. The Conco business continued to
make losses in the year and taking into account the near to medium-term trading
outlook, the decision was taken not to raise a corresponding deferred tax asset
in the year and, at the same time, to reverse deferred tax assets recognised
in previous periods. It is estimated that the group has R519 million of
unrecognised deferred assets as at 31 August 2018, available to be utilised
against future tax liabilities.
Recapitalisation
The group is presently operating under a debt standstill agreement with its
funders, which agreement expires on 1 April 2019.
As previously reported in the 2017 Integrated Annual Report, in terms of
IAS 1.74, when an entity breaches a provision of a long-term loan arrangement
with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand, it is required
to classify the liability as current. As a consequence, the full value of
notes outstanding under the Domestic Medium Term Note Programme, totalling
R924 million, were classified as a current liability as at 31 August 2017.
Following the debt standstill agreement reached with the lenders, only the
portion of the notes that fall due in 2019 has been classified as current
as at 31 August 2018, with the balance reclassified as non-current.
Following the recapitalisation transactions outlined below, and assuming
further arrangements are made with the lenders under the programme, it is
envisaged that R443 million of notes will be repaid in 2019, as they fall
due.
It is further envisaged that the remaining notes will be repaid in the
ordinary course, in 2020 (R302 million) and 2021 (R179 million) respectively.
As previously reported to shareholders, the group entered into a suite
of transactions during the year ("the recapitalisation transactions") to
facilitate a R1,1 billion cash injection aimed at improving the long-term
capital structure of the group.
The recapitalisation transactions were entered into with Fairfax Africa
Holdings Corporation ("Fairfax Africa"), a permanent capital investment
company listed on the Toronto stock exchange. Fairfax Africa's investment
objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation, whilst preserving
capital, by investing in public and private equity securities and debt
instruments in Africa and businesses with customers, suppliers or business
primarily conducted in Africa.
The recapitalisation transactions consist of the following three components:
Component Status
R300 million Advanced
upfront loan
R800 million Shareholder approval has been received.
non-renounceable CIG is awaiting final regulatory approvals before
rights offer at opening the rights offer to shareholders.
R4 per share, Management anticipates that this will be
underwritten by completed by late-December 2018
Fairfax Africa
Conversion rights Future conversion approved
of the upfront loan
Shareholders are referred to the detailed announcements issued on SENS
on Friday, 18 May 2018; Monday, 30 July 2018 and Wednesday, 29 August
2018 for further information on the recapitalisation transactions.
Following the rights offer, and assuming conversion of the convertible loan,
the net debt-to-equity ratio is expected to improve from 99% to 25%. Intense
focus on cash generation within all group businesses should drive gearing
down further.
The rights offer is expected to be complete by end-December 2018. A further
announcement on the rights offer will be made in due course.
At year-end, cash on hand was R571 million (2017: R360 million). Included in
cash on hand is the R300 million convertible loan advanced by Fairfax Africa
as part of the recapitalisation transactions.
CIG would like to thank its funders for their co-operative efforts in
supporting the group to re-establish sustainability and for extending CIG
the time and opportunity to do so.
Within Conco, no performance bonds have been called onsite, no damages claims
have been instituted in respect of any project and Conco's creditworthiness
remains intact. During the year, performance guarantees of R1,008 million
were successfully closed and new guarantees for R1,075 million issued.
While CIG incurred substantial losses for the year, the group nonetheless
managed to generate R51 million in operational cash flows. The recapitalisation
is sufficient for CIG to remain a going concern, when combined with continued
positive trading from the group businesses besides Conco. This mitigates any
short-term liquidity concerns and provides sufficient headroom for growth and
capital to fund future opportunities.
Group outlook
CIG has emerged from the year with a cornerstone shareholder in Fairfax Africa,
who is committed to the long-term prospects of CIG's offering and opportunities
across the African energy space. Conco has been restructured to be leaner and
more efficient. The group-wide initiatives to build annuity returns are gaining
in both momentum and credibility. The group is optimistic of its ability to
return to sustainable profitability in 2019.
Management has implemented processes to provide greater assurance on the
quality of the subsidiaries' results, and stricter focus on cash returns and
returns on capital employed to ensure that the businesses operate in line with
their strategic plans and budgets and that operating risks are promptly
identified and addressed.
Within Conlog and CIGenCo, given the exciting prospects for the African power
sector over the next decade, we anticipate scope for growth beyond existing
business. In addition to product sales, Conlog will target meter leasing and
platform opportunities to grow annuity income and introduce new services.
Through developing power-producing plants, CIGenCo also intends to grow
annuity income, with six of the fourteen Africa-wide renewable energy projects
in the pipeline at an advanced stage.
The long-term strategy to transition the group away from the vagaries of
Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contracting into a sustainable
platform supplying power needs across Africa can be achieved through the
integration of CIG's distinct offerings across the value chain and is expected,
over the medium to long term, to restore stakeholder confidence in CIG.
Our people
The directors and management thank all of our teams for their enormous efforts
in the face of challenging operating conditions and deeply appreciate their
loyalty, particularly over the last two years. Their commitment to improving
and sustaining the business is a key driver of CIG's recovery and future success.
As previously announced, the CFO, Ivor Klitzner resigned with effect from
6 November 2018. The board thanks Ivor for his contribution and wishes him much
success in his future endeavours. Sean Jelley, who has extensive private equity
and investment banking experience, was appointed CFO on an interim basis in
November 2018, to assist with the turnaround strategy. The process of
identifying and recruiting a permanent group CFO has commenced.
We also thank our customers, business partners, advisors, suppliers and our
shareholders for their valued support during the year.
