LEWIS GROUP LIMITED
Registration number: 2004/009817/06
Share code: LEW
ISIN: ZAE000058236
Unaudited Interim Condensed Results for the six months ended 30 September 2009
- Revenue increased by 7.9%
- Operating margin 21.8%
- Operating profit up by 4.3%
- Headline earnings per share down by 3.9%
- Dividend per share maintained
Trading and financial performance
The improving trend in revenue growth experienced in the latter stages of the
2009 financial year has continued, with revenue for the six-month period
increasing by 7.9% to R1 946 million and merchandise sales growing by 6.8% to
R951 million. The group`s business model has once again proved its resilience
with operating profit increasing by 4.3%.
The credit environment remained challenging with increasing unemployment,
retrenchments and reduced working time impacting on disposable income levels,
resulting in increased debtor costs for the group.
In addition, the 22% strengthening in the value of the Rand during the period
resulted in exchange losses on forward cover contracts of R30 million. This
accounted for the 3.9% decline in headline earnings per share for the
period.
Exclusive value for money offerings continue to differentiate Lewis in the
market and during the period several new furniture ranges were successfully
launched. Furniture and appliances, which contribute 80% of group sales,
increased by 7.8%. Sales of the more discretionary electronic merchandise (20%
of sales) increased by 2.8%.
The flagship Lewis brand, which accounts for 85% of merchandise sales,
increased revenue by 7.9%. Best Home and Electric grew revenue by 10.2%.
Revenue in Lifestyle Living was up 0.8%.
The group`s credit sales mix has increased to 68.5% (2008: 65.8%) on the back
of strongly focused customer retention strategies.
Finance charges earned grew by R50.5 million as a result of extended credit
terms forming a larger proportion of the base on which these charges are
calculated. Insurance revenue declined slightly to R292 million and includes
additional reserves required to cover the higher proportion of longer-term
business. Ancillary services rose by 15.7% to R258 million as a result of
monthly service and initiation fees charged in terms of the National Credit
Act.
Gross margin improved from 33.1% to 33.5% as a result of innovative merchandise
strategies.
The operating margin of 21.8% (2008: 22.6%) was impacted by the higher debtor
costs, with Lewis at 23.0% (23.9%) and Best Home and Electric at 19.3% (20.7%).
The group continued to expand its store base, opening five Lewis stores and
three Best Home and Electric outlets. The small store concept tested by Lewis
in the previous financial year is proving successful. Lewis now has five stores
in this format. These stores are all performing ahead of expectations.
An additional seven to ten stores are planned to be opened in the second half,
including the opening of four small format Lewis stores in November.
Debtor management
Debtor costs increased from 4.5% to 5.0% of net debtors in a tightening
collections environment. The doubtful debt provision for the first half of the
year was 17.9% (2008: 15.5%). This provision is calculated applying the net
present value of the expected cash flows, discounted at the interest rate
applicable to the contract. A detailed debtor payment analysis is shown
in the accompanying table.
Credit scorecards are regularly reviewed to maintain acceptable credit risk
levels. The potential credit loss is weighed up against the revenue potential
using predictive behavioural models. Any variances from the level of risk that
has been adopted is monitored and the credit-granting process aligned where
necessary. The credit application decline rate is now 27.4% compared to 24.5%
in the corresponding period last year.
Cash and capital management
The group has maintained its dividend and shareholders will again receive a
payout of 144 cents per share for the period.
The increasing proportion of longer-term business necessitated further
investment in the debtors book during the period under review. The level of
funding required is expected to slow in the second half as the proportion of
extended term business matures.
Gearing at 27.4% (2008: 24.2%) remains within management`s maximum target of
35%.
Segmental reporting
The basis for reporting segmental financial information has changed following
the adoption of IFRS 8 (Operating Segments). Previously, segmental information
was provided for the group`s retail, risk services and financial services
operations. The group now discloses segmental information for Lewis, Best Home
and Electric, and Lifestyle Living. This is the financial information regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision makers of the group and reflects the
customer-centric nature of the operations based on the premise that the selling
of furniture and the provision of credit are interdependent. The segmental
report reflects revenue, operating profit and segment assets (inventory and net
trade receivables) for each brand.
Board of directors
Alan Smart retired as the chief executive officer on 30 September 2009 after
40 years` service and 18 years at the helm of the group. The board expresses its
appreciation to Alan for his exceptional contribution. He will remain on the
board in a non-executive capacity which will enable the group to retain his
extensive knowledge and experience of the credit retail sector.
Johan Enslin was appointed chief executive officer and as an executive director
with effect from 1 October 2009.
The board composition was further strengthened with the appointments of
Zarina Bassa and Sizakele Marutlulle as independent non-executive directors with
effect from 1 October 2009.
Prospects
While lower interest rates, stabilising food prices and higher real wage
increases are positive for consumers, short time and retrenchments remain a
risk for sustained improvement. The festive season trading period will be
strongly supported by merchandise and promotional campaigns to maximise sales
opportunities.

respect of the six months ended 30 September 2009 has been declared payable to

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of accounting
The group`s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The accounting policies applied are
consistent with those applied in the preparation of previous annual financial
statements except as noted below:
1.1 Change in accounting for deferred costs on initiation fees
The group previously deferred costs on the basis that the costs were
directly related to the initiation fee earned. An amendment to IAS 18 (Revenue
Recognition) replaced the term "direct costs" with "transaction costs" as
defined in paragraph 9 of IAS 39. This later definition requires costs to be
incremental, i.e. costs that would not have been incurred, had the financial
asset not been acquired.
In accordance with the amendment to IAS 18, the group`s accounting policy for
deferred costs on initiation fees has been changed. In terms of IAS 8
(Accounting Policies), the relevant comparative information has been restated
and the effect on the financial statements is as follows:

Decrease in trade and other receivables 52.1 47.3 50.3
Decrease in deferred taxation 15.9 14.3 15.3
1.2 Adoption of revised IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements)
The presentation of the financial statements has been amended in line with the
revised IAS 1 to include a Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition to the
net profit, the Statement of Comprehensive Income includes fair value
adjustments on insurance investments and movements in foreign currency
translation reserve. These were previously reflected in the Statement of Changes
in Equity.
1.3 Adoption of IFRS 8 (Operating Segments)
In terms of IFRS 8 which replaced IAS 14 (Segment Reporting), operating
segments are components of the group about which separate financial information
is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers
(identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) for
the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance.
Accordingly, the group now discloses segmental information for the three
brands, namely Lewis, Best Home and Electric and Lifestyle Living.
Previously, the segmental information was presented on the basis of retail,
finance and risk segments.
In addition, an amendment to IFRS 8 has been adopted which permits disclosure
of the assets regularly reported to the chief operating decision makers.
Accordingly, segment assets reflect net trade receivables and inventory for
each of the brands.

TRADE RECEIVABLE ANALYSIS
The company applies a payment rating assessment to each customer individually,
which categorises customers into 13 payment categories. This assessment is
integral to the calculation of doubtful debts. The 13 payment categories have
been summarised into four main summary categories.
An analysis of the debtors book based on the payment ratings is set out below:
