7. Contingent liability
The company received a summons from the Competition Commission in February 2010
pursuant to an investigation into the pelagic fishing industry which has been
ongoing since July 2008. Oceana`s attorneys have undertaken an extensive
investigation into the business conduct at Oceana Brands, the subsidiary in
which the group`s pelagic operations are held. The group has been cooperating
fully with the Commission. The outcome of the investigation and summons remains
uncertain and therefore the financial effect cannot be determined.
8. Events after the reporting date
No events occurred after the reporting date that may have an impact on the
group`s reported financial position at 30 September 2011.
Comments
Financial results
Operating profit before abnormal items increased by 6% over the previous year
with significant improvements in the horse mackerel and canned fish business
units being largely offset by disappointing results in fishmeal and certain
other business units. Turnover increased by 7%.
Headline earnings per share for the year rose by 6% and earnings per share by
13%. The main reason for the differential in the increase in headline earnings
per share and earnings per share is that, in the prior year, earnings were
impacted by an impairment expense relating to goodwill arising on acquisition of
the Glenryck UK business in 2004 which was adjusted for purposes of headline
earnings.
A final dividend of 183 cents per share has been declared which together with
the interim dividend of 37 cents brings the total dividend for the year to 220
cents per share, an increase of 6% on the 2010 total dividend of 208 cents.
Review of operations
Inshore Fishing
The 2011 Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for pilchard in South Africa was 90 000
tons (2010: 90 000 tons). Pilchard landings and processing yields at the St
Helena Bay cannery were in line with the previous financial year and the
company`s quota has been landed in full. The Namibian pilchard TAC was 25 000
tons (2010: 25 000 tons). Etosha Fishing landed its quota in full. Canned fish
sales volumes on the domestic market were considerably higher in response to
significant promotional activity in the initial months of the financial year.
Further improvements were made in the management of the supply chain which
resulted in continuous availability of product from both local and offshore
suppliers and a reduction of inventory levels. A larger proportion of product
was sourced locally compared to the previous year. The landed cost of imported
product reduced as a consequence of the strong rand exchange rate which
benefitted returns. Canned fish sales in the United Kingdom declined as a
consequence of the business restructure and difficult trading conditions.
Overall, profitability from canned fish operations was well above the prior
year.
The anchovy A season TAC which ended on 31 August was 270 291 tons and B season
120 000 tons (2010: A season 453 183 tons; B season 120 000 tons). Oceana`s
landings of anchovy were 43% lower than the prior year at 21 444 tons,
comprising 47% of its A season anchovy quota (2010: 37 555 tons being 49% of A
season quota). No anchovy has been available in the catching areas during the B
season. Landings of red-eye herring were also poor and lower than last year.
Fishmeal production volumes were consequently well below those of the previous
year. Weak demand in international markets as well as increased supply from Peru
put pressure on fishmeal prices which together with the low volumes resulted in
a substantial loss for the financial year.
The TAC for west coast lobster reduced to 2 286 tons (2010: 2 393 tons). Quota
available to Oceana for the season to 30 September 2011 amounted to 324.8 tons
(2010: 347.5 tons) of which 99.8% was landed. Selling prices were higher in
foreign currency terms although turnover was adversely affected by a stronger
rand exchange rate. Profit from lobster declined compared to the prior year
mainly due to lower sales volumes.
Squid catches were lower than the prior year. Euro selling prices improved. The
business made a small loss for the year.
The French fries business suffered a loss due mainly to competition from lower
priced imports.
Midwater and Deep-sea Fishing
The Namibian horse mackerel TAC increased to 310 000 tons (2010: 247 803 tons).
The portion of TAC previously held in reserve has largely been allocated to the
existing quota holders. In South Africa the Precautionary Maximum Catch Limit
remained at 31 500 tons. Catch rates per day improved in both Namibia and South
Africa resulting in a lower average catch cost per ton and higher volumes for
the year. Trading conditions in our major markets remained firm and access to
the Angolan market was re-established. Volumes procured from external fleets
increased due to favourable market opportunities. Turnover and profit rose
substantially on the back of higher volumes.
The hake business showed an improvement on the prior year. The group acquired an
increased shareholding in a joint venture resulting in the consolidation of its
financial results from July 2011.
Cold Storage
Revenue declined at most of the division`s facilities as a result of lower
occupancy levels and throughput volumes of frozen product. The impact was mainly
felt in Durban and Cape Town, on both locally produced and imported product. The
City Deep store experienced a similar volume to the previous year despite
expansion of the facility. The fruit handling business in Durban performed
poorly although a larger volume of commercial fruit was handled. Overall
operating profit was lower than last year.
Further cautionary announcement
Further to the cautionary announcement published on Securities Exchange News
Service on Monday, 24 October 2011 and in the press on Tuesday, 25 October 2011,
Oceana shareholders are advised that negotiations are still in progress which,
if successfully concluded may have a material effect on the price of the
company`s securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue
exercising caution when dealing in the company`s securities until a further
announcement is made.
Prospects
The group is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities for further
organic and acquisitive growth.
