COMMENTARY
GROUP PROFILE
Santova Logistics Ltd ("Santova Logistics" or "the Company") and its subsidiary
companies ("Santova" or "the Group"), operating out of South Africa, Hong Kong,
Australia, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, provide integrated
"end-to-end" logistics solutions for importers/exporters and consumers
worldwide.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Santova was not immune to the global economic downturn, which significantly
affected all the world`s economies, particularly South Africa. In the first six
months of calendar 2009, South Africa`s gross domestic product showed negative
growth of 6,4% for the first quarter and negative 3,0% for the second quarter.
Consequently, even the moderate economic recovery experienced in the fourth
quarter of the year was not sufficient to ensure sustainable year-on-year
growth.
Group consolidated turnover was R98,0 million and profit after tax R4,2
million. Compared to the same period last year, this amounted to a decrease of
17,1% and 46,7% respectively, attributable in the main to the global economic
downturn, which resulted in reduced trade volumes and significantly diminished
margins. Whilst decisive actions were taken to realign the business with
falling activity levels, the cost reduction exercise implemented in July
resulted in a 15,2% or R14,6 million saving in administrative expenses. It is
important to point out, however, that the full effect or benefit of this
exercise was only apparent in the final six months of the financial year.
Whilst Santova`s results were to a large extent affected by reduced trade
volumes and freight buy and sell rates, currency fluctuation also had a
significant impact on earnings.
Freight buy and sell rates (profit margin): In response to diminishing ocean
volumes, ocean carriers removed significant capacity from the market and
introduced price increases in the latter quarter of calendar 2009. This
resulted in previously favourable buying opportunities for the Group being
limited to a large extent and margins associated with buying and selling of
space on vessels to clients being significantly eroded. These price increases
were to a great extent absorbed by the Group and margins will be recovered
going forward as the pricing structure in the industry stabilises.
Currency fluctuations: A predominant portion of the Group`s revenue is derived
from fees based on the weighted Rand value of goods, which is adversely
affected by a strong Rand against the US Dollar. This effect is compounded even
further as the differential between the buy and sell rate (profit margin) is
also accounted for in US Dollars. As can be noted, this situation prevailed for
most of financial 2010 and is still in play at present.
Despite these unprecedented trading conditions, the Group displayed resilience
and continued to build on its sound business model and operational capability.
This view was reinforced by the fact that whilst net earnings attributable to
shareholders in the first six months of this financial year were 88,2% down
compared to the same period in the 2009 financial year, earnings attributable
to shareholders for the full year ending February 2010 were only 51,9% down on
the previous year.
South Africa
Impson Logistics (Pty) Ltd ("Impson")
In spite of difficult trading conditions, our South African logistics business
benefited from the mid-year cost reduction exercise and went on to produce much
improved results during the second half of the financial year. This business
has evolved into a meaningful player in the logistics industry whose
capability, particularly through improved intelligent information technological
solutions, has delivered truly effective supply chain management solutions for
clients.
The focus of South African companies is more than ever on being more
competitive in what is still a flat to moderate economic climate. According to
the 2010 edition of supplychainforesight, issues coming to the fore are
strategic alignment of the supply chain with business strategy, lead time
reduction and technology deployment; all of which will promote the opportunity
for our logistics business to assist clients in their recovery from the
recession. In fact, this is supported by the number of new clients that have
been contracted in over the last year and whose supply chains have been
analysed and improved upon by subjecting them to detailed analysis of every
conceivable aspect of the supply chain, whilst also clearly defining roles,
structures, systems, work flow processes and standards of delivery.
The South African operation still continues to provide the "hub" of development
and support for the Group`s business worldwide.
Leading Edge Insurance Brokers (Pty) Ltd ("Leading Edge")
The insurance arm of the Group did not escape the effects of the recession.
Whilst this business managed to acquire a significant number of quality new
clients during the course of the year, this progress was offset by restructures
(down-sizing) and cancellations (due to affordability) of clients trying to
survive the times. Furthermore, closely aligned to the Group`s shipping
activities, the revenue of this business derived from marine insurance was
adversely affected by the reduced volumes shipped.
During the year Leading Edge acquired the business of Standard Insurance
Consultants. This is a Durban based short-term insurance business which
was acquired as a going concern. This business was only fully incorporated
into Leading Edge in the month of September and will serve to bulk-up
the current book of Leading Edge, which will benefit from economies of scale.
Looking ahead, the Group expects a relatively quick recovery and the
restoration of good earnings from our insurance arm.
Hong Kong
The effect of the world recession on Hong Kong was not as severe as that in
South Africa. The earnings for this business are modestly up on last year
(11,2%) and the acquisition of new clients, predominantly sourced by our
offices globally, continued at an impressive rate. As mentioned previously, the
ability of the Group to facilitate, control and manage end-to-end comprehensive
supply chain logistics at source for clients is of great strategic value. This
is becoming more and more apparent as the Group expands internationally.
Australia
The disclosures in terms of IFRS 3 on the acquisition of McGregor Sea and Air
Services Pty Ltd were disclosed in our 31 August 2009 Group interim results
announcement, dated 30 October 2009. Considering the circumstances in which the
Australian operation has had to perform, the performance of this office during
the first year under the Santova umbrella is pleasing. This observation is even
more relevant when one takes cognisance of the additional expenditure incurred
during this first year as a direct result of its integration into the Santova
Group. Additional systems, procedures, controls and the upgrade of
infrastructure and resources were introduced to ensure that the business was
aligned to meet the standards and controls that are expected of a listed
company. To this end, this business is now well placed to progress to its next
level of development. The recent acquisition of Freight Matters, a small
clearing business, by the Australian entity will further enhance its earnings
in the year ahead.
Europe
United Kingdom
Whilst initiatives to realign the business to significantly reduced volumes
were introduced, the task has proved a lot more challenging than expected.
Whilst operationally the business has improved, the strengthening of the Rand
against the British Pound has resulted in a foreign exchange loss being
accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income. This relates
specifically to the Santova Logistics (South Africa) loan to Santova Logistics
Limited (United Kingdom) and impacts significantly on the extent of the loss to
date.
In regard to the business going forward, this office plays a significant role
in so far as end-to-end supply chain management of Santova`s clients worldwide
are concerned. Furthermore, additional initiatives are in process which, if
successful, will result in this business returning to profitability. It is
important to note that operationally, this office made a profit in the first
month of the new financial year, which is encouraging when considering it is
one of the quieter months of the financial year.
Netherlands
A significant milestone for the Group was the acquisition of a small operation
(Santova Logistics B.V., previously Maxxs B.V.) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The rationale for such an acquisition is based on the premise that the Group
would have a strategic advantage by having its own office in one of the busiest
ports in the world - a gateway to Europe. Santova Logistics B.V.
constitutes a start-up business, which has been in operation since 1 October
2009. The previous shareholders, now directors of the business, have extensive
experience in the logistics industry, which bodes well for the future
development of the business.
This office not only benefits from existing shipments from Santova`s offices
worldwide to Europe, but they will also benefit from new business currently
being negotiated with large multinational companies. Furthermore, insofar as
our alliances in China are concerned, this office will also receive third party
shipments from that region, which could result in a meaningful contribution to
the earnings of the business and Group. More importantly, Santova`s current
clients in the European zone will now be maintained and managed by Santova
Logistics B.V. in Rotterdam.
OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL 2011
Since the last quarter of calendar 2009, there have been numerous signs that
the worst of the economic recession is over. The South African Reserve Bank`s
March 2010 quarterly Bulletin shows that South Africa`s economy is recovering.
Interestingly enough, the Country`s current account deficit narrowed to 2,8% of
gross domestic product ("GDP") in the fourth quarter of last year from 3,1% in
the third. This is far better than the current account deficit in 2008 of 7,1%
of GDP and 4,0% for last year as a whole. The Bulletin also confirms that the
manufacturing (export related) sector which was severely affected during
calendar 2008 and the first half of 2009, has posted much improved results
since the third quarter of 2009. Closely aligned to this is the mining sector,
which is up 4,6% in the fourth quarter from the third. Other indicators include
car sales figures, which are now improving on a month-to-month basis; rising
business confidence and a turnaround in household consumption expenditure which
grew 1,4% in the fourth quarter from the prior quarter of calendar 2009,
following the prior quarter`s near 2,0% contraction. Easing inflationary
pressures and the recent 50 basis point interest rate cut have also provided
consumers with some relief as reduced debt servicing costs have resulted in
improved levels of disposable income for households.
Indicators clearly support a turnaround in our economy, however, there is still
a large amount of caution being exercised. Whilst these economic indicators
have in most part showed signs of improvement, they are still well below the
long-term average. Retail sales are still slow, impacted by limited credit
extension; government consumption expenditure has slowed somewhat;
and the strong Rand is limiting the ability of the South African export market
to compete on global markets.
Considering the above and the challenges facing Europe, the Greek fiscal
situation, and the ability of global stimulation packages remaining intact, it
could take some time before the South African and world economies can consider
the future without stumbling blocks to economic recovery.
The Group will continue to remain vigilant in its strategic decision making and
operational activity. During this difficult period, internal systems, processes
and ultimately capabilities were vastly improved upon and this will now enable
the Group to take advantage of an improving economy. More than ever before,
aligning the supply chain with business strategy and reducing costs for clients
is a priority for companies and an opportunity for the Santova Group.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview of fiscal 2010 performance
The effect of the economic downturn has had a significant impact on the Group
despite the cost-cutting measures implemented during the year, additional
clients signed on, acquisition of new businesses and restructures. Although
finance costs decreased by 50,4%, in line with reduced borrowing requirements
and the reduced cost of borrowing experienced throughout the year, the decrease
in profits attributable to the shareholders of Santova Logistics could only be
limited to 51,9%.
Net asset value has increased from 6,19 cents per share in 2009 to 6,60 cents
per share as at 28 February 2010, a 6,6% increase. The condensed statements of
cash flows for the Group reflects borrowings repaid of R32,9 million.
During the year, the following share movements took place in the issued share
capital of the Company:
11 171 520 shares were repurchased on 31 August 2009 from the Camilla Coleman
Trust;
61 200 014 shares were allotted to Coolaroo Holdings Pty Ltd on 31 August
2009 for the purchase of McGregor Sea and Air Services Pty Ltd (previously
McGregor Customs Pty Ltd); and
91 335 509 shares were repurchased, 45 607 175 on 3 December 2009 and 45 728
334 on 26 February 2010, from the Santova Logistics Share Purchase and Option
Scheme Share Trust.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At signature date, Santova Logistics is in the process of acquiring the full
share capital of a South African registered company specialising in clearing
and forwarding of freight, which if successfully concluded, will be acquired
effective 1 March 2010. This acquisition, if successful, will give the Group a
stronger presence in Gauteng, South Africa.
We are unable to disclose further information in relation to this acquisition,
as required in terms of IFRS 3, due to the timing of the acquisition.
No other events of a material nature have occurred between the financial year
end and the date of this report.
