INTRODUCTION
Accentuate is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of infrastructural
supplies and maintenance solutions including flooring, glass and aluminium,
chemical cleaning and related products and services. The group reports
segmentally across two divisions: Infrastructure Supplies Division and
Environmental Solutions Division.
The performance of the Flooring and Chemical Divisions has been consistent and
acceptable from the listing of the company in November 2006 to date. The
acquisition of the Glass and Aluminium division was concluded in 2008 with
management believing that this acquisition would enhance market presence in the
construction industry and on the understanding that it would be earnings
enhancing to shareholders. It has however become evident that the CGA has not
delivered on either of these strategic imperatives. In addition, the business
has required a disproportionate amount of management time and resources which
finally led to the decision to dispose of this asset and to concentrate on the
exceptional businesses that were originally brought to the market and to
leverage off these in order to deliver the necessary shareholder value.
The performance of CGA has been strongly impacted by macro-economic factors as
evidenced by many of our peers but this has been further impacted due to the
fact that the Board is of the opinion that the warranties presented in terms of
the acquisition have not been fulfilled by the Vendors. To this end the
necessary legal process has been embarked on in an attempt to recover the lost
value.
The consistent performance of both the flooring and chemical divisions allow
Accentuate to concentrate on expanding these operations both through organic
growth as well as identified strategic acquisitions.
THE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
These results are presented in the context of a depressed macro environment
evidenced by the commentary of the majority of companies operating in both the
construction and the construction supply sectors and as elaborated on in
Accentuate`s interim results commentary.
The fall-off in activity, partly anticipated, deepened with the conclusion of
the 2010 FIFA World Cup and failed to pick up meaningful momentum through the
first half of 2011. The International Business Report (IBR) index released by
Grant Thornton at the beginning of February 2011 indicated that South African
Business Owners were less hopeful for investment in buildings in the year ahead,
noting expected investment in buildings to decline by a further 17% compared to
the 25% in 2010. According to the IBR, a tough 2011 for the construction
industry in general was predicated - and this was certainly felt by suppliers to
the construction sector, such as Accentuate.
Currently the industry is experiencing major infrastructure project bottlenecks
resulting in delays, reduced number of contract awards, fierce competition and
massive margin pressures resulting in less than desirable trading conditions.
The results for the year ended 30 June 2011 are therefore presented in the
context of a severely depressed macro-economic environment.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The impact of these macro-economic factors on Accentuate has directly and
dramatically affected the performance of CGA and indirectly impacted on the rate
of growth within SAFIC, while FloorworX, the largest operating company within
Accentuate, has managed to take advantage of its dominant position within the
resilient flooring market and produced an credible set of financial results
under these most challenging conditions.
Infrastructure Supplies Division
In general the division has been impacted by the low investment in both the
commercial and private property sectors. The lack of meaningful infrastructure
spend on behalf of Government further impacted the performance, especially
affecting the glass and aluminium sector.
FloorworX
The flooring division managed to deliver and excellent set of results under very
challenging trading conditions. Notwithstanding the fact that FloorworX reported
a dramatic downturn at interims, resulting in reduced revenues, margins and
earnings, the incredible efforts of the management team saw the promised
recovery during the second half of the financial reporting period.
Although revenues were down by 3.1% (15% at the interim period) over the
corresponding period, margins recovered and costs were contained in order to
present an earnings increase of over R1 million over the corresponding period
ended 2010.
Major factors influencing the profitability of the organisation remain the
excessive increase in energy costs, volatility in commodity pricing as well as
the relative strength of the rand against major global currencies.
Although the strength of the Rand acts as a hedge against rising global
commodity prices, especially fuel and petro-chemical derivatives, the effect
negatively impact on the ability of FloorworX to export into Africa.
Overall market share increased slightly with significant increases in the wood,
wood laminate and luxury vinyl segments. IWF has been successfully integrated
into FloorworX and is making a meaningful contribution towards the profitability
of the company. The Signature range continues to grow in acceptance and
popularity and the progress made in this area of the business is extremely
pleasing to management.
Further growth has been evidenced in the Flotex Carpet segment and FloorworX is
currently finalising the introduction of a carpet tile range as alluded to in
the interim results.
Strengthening relationships with global suppliers of floorcoverings remain
central to our strategy of dominating the resilient flooring market segment
within the Southern African market.
FloorworX is a dominant player within the resilient flooring market in Southern
Africa and this has allowed Accentuate to concentrate on expanding its influence
in the general flooring market and a number of opportunities have been
identified in this regard.
The focus of this business going forward includes:
1. Expanding the current product range into the existing customer base through
collaboration with global players within the floorcovering market;
2. Expanding the distribution network geographically including further
expansion on the African continent;
3. Ensuring the maintenance of margins through effective pricing, cost control
and productivity initiatives; and
4. Wherever possible, minimising the volatility of global commodity and
currency fluctuations.
Although Government Infrastructure spend has not yet materialised and has played
no significant role in the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2011,
management remains confident that pent up demand will result in this long
anticipated spending materialising within the not too distant future. Positive
Government spending within the areas of healthcare and education will have a
material impact on the profitability of FloorworX.
Management remain cautiously optimistic about the continued positive performance
of the flooring division within Accentuate and to this end a number of strategic
initiatives to expand this area of the operation are currently being evaluated.
Centurion Glass & Aluminium ("CGA")
The macro-economic factors impacting on CGA, as reported at interim results,
further deteriorated during the period under review. This coupled with the fact
that the business took up a disproportionate amount of Accentuate management
time and resources, has led the board to action the disposal of CGA as a going
concern. The financial statements have been drafted taking into account the
proposed disposal of this asset.
The lack of activity within the construction sector led to a reduction in
revenue over the corresponding period of close to 40%. This coupled with
enormous pressure on margins as well as some structural issues within CGA
resulted in substantial losses being incurred within this operating unit.
A significant portion of the losses incurred during the current reporting period
can be attributed to an overrun on costs during previous accounting periods as
well as contra charges and penalties incurred during these periods having to be
adjusted within the current period.
Although significant measures have been introduced to curb expenditure with a
cost reduction in excess of 30% of total fixed costs and great attention has
been paid to rebuilding relationships with major contractors and brand building,
management is of the opinion that the current state of the glass and aluminium
industry will not recover substantially for at least the next two years,
resulting in a position where at best the forecast will be a break-even
scenario.
Legal proceedings are continuing against the vendors of the business for the
enforcement of the guarantees. As mentioned in the interim commentary, we are of
the opinion that the challenges within the business had not been adequately
identified and addressed by the previous management and vendors and this has
resulted in a situation where the relationships with stakeholders has been
compromised and has impacted irreparably on the profitability and sustainability
of the business.
The result of the inactivity in this sector as well as the structural issues
identified has resulted in a loss in this division of R12.5 million and an
impairment of to the value of R70.8 million.
The reasons that led the Board to agree to the disposal of this company can be
summarised as follows:
1. The exposure to contracting is far more challenging than initially
anticipated;
2. The macro-economic environment is to say the least challenging and we do
not anticipate a dramatic change within the short to medium term;
3. Relationships with key customers have been substantially damaged
historically;
4. The cultural integration of the business has proved to be difficult; and
5. The business requires a disproportionate amount of Accentuate management
time and resources relative to its potential returns.
Discussions regarding the disposal of CGA are currently underway and Management
will make the necessary announcements in due course. Management is confident
that the disposal of this company will be completed in the not to distant future
and all anticipated costs and losses relating to this disposal have been
provided during the current accounting period.
Environmental Solutions Division
The Environmental Solutions Division has continued along its stated strategy of
repositioning the business away from the traditional "down the street", direct
representation model to an emphasis on centrally managed accounts that provide
steady annuity income.
The division is a specialist chemical blending operation which provides
customised, environmentally acceptable solutions to the industrial,
institutional, and construction industry.
The major focus placed on the growth of sustainable revenue within the division
has forced it to re-define the product and market offering while at the same
time strengthening sales, marketing and research and development structures to
support this objective. Innovations over the past year included the development,
manufacture and supply of a range of easy dilution super-concentrates in sachets
for the general cleaning industry, the development of a carpet adhesive, and the
further addition of a broader range of cleaning equipment to support the
offering of a total solution package for key clients.
Growth in volume over the period resulted in a far more sustainable business
with in excess of 28% of the revenue now secured contractually.
Challenges remain the continued depressed macro-economic environment within
which SAFIC operates, the relatively high cost of petro-chemical derivative raw
material inputs, the increase in energy costs as well as those relating to the
distribution of the products.
Revenue increased by 4% over the corresponding period, but a corresponding
decrease in margin resulted in a reduction in gross profit of approximately
4.25%. EBITDA decreased by 37.13% over the corresponding period. This can be
attributed to the following factors:
* Margins were under severe pressure in the traditional manufacturing and
industrial market segments;
* Increased cost pressure due to an increase in commodity pricing and the
inability to react immediately to such pricing pressure due to medium-term
contracts in place with customers;
* Increase in fixed costs in the area of sales and sales management in line
with the marketing strategy of the organisation; and
* Costs running ahead of revenues in the roll out of our product and service
offering to major key accounts. It is anticipated that these will rectify
themselves during the current financial year resulting in much improved
profit margins going forward.
The strategy for the division includes:
* A major focus on growth within the institutional markets, specifically the
contract cleaning industry;
* Further extraction of synergies between group companies and the Thebe
invested companies;
* Expansion of the footprint within the construction chemical sector;
* Expansion of our key account initiatives with the intent of ensuring
stronger secured annuity income; and
* The Africa market remains a huge opportunity, and will be expanded through
identified distributors that have the capacity to support our vision.
Although progress in this division has been slower than anticipated, we are
confident that this company will become a major contributor towards the
profitability of the group within the foreseeable future. This will be done
through focused attention on building strong relationships with identified blue
chip clients and the systematic exploitation of the synergies that exist between
itself and FloorworX, especially in the areas of cementations screeds, adhesives
and maintenance products to the flooring industry.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Continuing operations profitability of R8.8 million was negatively impacted by a
R12.6 million loss from the discontinued operations. An impairment of R70.8
million resulted in a loss of R74.6 million for the period.
During the financial year a decision was taken to dispose of CGA. The assets and
liabilities of this investment are therefore disclosed as held for sale. The
trading results of the held for sale assets and liabilities are disclosed as
discontinued operations. The comparative reclassification between continuing and
discontinued operations in the statement of comprehensive income and the
business segmental results has been made.
Discontinued operations
The discontinued operations contributed a trading loss of R12.6 million and
caused an impairment of R70.8 million of the attributable loss of R74.2 million
of the group.
Continuing operations
Continuing operations reported a reduction in turnover from R254.8 million to
R249.4 million. The pressure on revenue has been offset by an increase in gross
margin from 52.9% to 54.5% over the comparative period. Other operating expenses
have been contained by overheads increasing by only 1.1% over the period under
review despite inflationary pressure and the impact of rising energy prices. A
loss after tax of R62.1 million was reported. An impairment of R70.8 million has
been taken in the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities held for sale to
net realisable value. This impairment has reduced a trading profit after tax
from continued operations of R8.8 million to a reported loss of R62.1 million.
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance occurring between the
balance sheet date and the date of this report that materially affects the
results of the group for the year ended 30 June 2011 or the financial position
at that date.
As was the case in the past period, management and the board of Accentuate have
not declared a final dividend.
GOING CONCERN
The Board of Directors is satisfied that, after taking into account the current
banking facilities, its utilisation thereof and the budgeted profits and cash
flows for the year ending 30 June 2012, the working capital available to
Accentuate will be sufficient to meet its requirements for the next 12 months.
LITIGATION STATEMENT
Accentuate has instituted legal proceedings against vendors of the CGA business
for the breach of warranties. During our recent dealing with the alledged
misconduct, which is the basis of our warranty claim, we discovered evidence of
certain subversive activity which we have interpreted to be a means of
preventing our legal claims and actions being processed. Shareholders will be
informed as the proceeding unfolds.
PROSPECTS
Accentuate will utilise cash generated from the sale of CGA for further
expansion into the flooring and related market segments. The disposal will avail
Accentuate management time to focus on the remaining continuing businesses of
FloorworX and SAFIC which are well known and understood by Accentuate. The
current market share of FloorworX needs to be maintained, at the very least, but
grown in terms of product offering and innovation and within SAFIC the annuity
revenue stream growth and input efficiencies will be the main drivers taking
this cleaning company forward. Management does expect difficult economic
operating conditions to remain but will continue to assess growth opportunities
in areas of supply finishing and maintenance products to enhance the esthetics
of buildings.
Although it is anticipated that the macro-economic environment will remain under
pressure during the next financial year, management is confident that Accentuate
will be able to leverage off its leadership position within the resilient
flooring market in order to deliver an acceptable return to its shareholders
while taking conginicence of the needs of all stakeholders. Management remains
cautiously optimistic for continuing operations during the year ahead.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD
Accentuate is pleased to announce the further strengthening of the Board through
the appointment of two Independent Non-Executive Director`s namely, Mr Ralph
Patmore and Mr. Eric Ratshikhopa to the Board.
Ralph Patmore is appointed as Lead Independent Non-Executive Director. He has an
impeccable management career in South African industry, having most recently
served as the Chief Executive Officer of Iliad Africa Limited for 10 years,
stepping down in 2008. This experience in the building material supply area will
be critical to Accentuate as the company moves forward to capture additional
market share. Ralph currently holds Non- Executive Directorships on four other
listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. His experience, not only of
management, strategy, mergers and acquisitions and accounting matters, but also
his vast knowledge of the construction, building and retail environment, will
benefit Accentuate immensely.
Eric Ratshikhopa is appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director. He
currently holds a number of directorships on foundations and serves on as a
trustee on a number of trusts. His background includes vast work experience in
