Review of results
Gijima is one of South Africa`s leading Information, Communication and
Technology (ICT) Services groups. It offers end to end Managed Infrastructure
and Professional Services from its 80 points of presence within Southern Africa
and its operations in Australia, Asia, North and South America.
Results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2011 reflect a turnaround
back to profitability after the significant prior year write off relating to the
Department of Home Affairs` disputed Who Am I Online contract settlement. The
Group has recorded an improved operating performance in what remains a
relatively sluggish market.
Revenue increased by 7,5% from the comparative period in the previous year, with
Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation reflecting an 83,5%
increase on the comparable prior year number (without the once-off settlement
charge). The attained margin of 5,8%, whilst below the Group`s targeted margin
levels, reflects the improving business performance.
Gijima`s BBBEE scorecard rating improved from a Level 3 AA rating to Level 2 AAA
during the period.
The Professional Services Division had an outstanding six months and recorded
revenue growth of 26,3% on the previous year. A profit of R36,4 million was
achieved, compared to last year`s reported loss of R37,7 million, a positive
swing of R74,1 million. The Systems Integration unit, which was particularly
impacted by the DHA settlement last year, has delivered a much improved
performance and is successfully deploying some substantial projects. The ERP
business also showed excellent growth, with significant new SAP project
implementations during the period. The pipeline for this line of business
remains healthy. The mining technical solutions business produced very strong
results, with a marked improvement in the top and bottom line for the half-year.
Its industry leading MineRP set of products continues to gain global market
share. Gijima`s training and placement business also produced considerable
revenue and profit growth for the six months.
Revenue for the Managed Services Division was marginally down for the period
with profit down 35%. This decline is attributed to the Unified Communications,
Data Centre and Security units which had a relatively muted performance due to
low sales volumes. The investment cost of our expansion into the data centre
Enterprise System Management software market further reduced profitability for
the division. The Distributed Computing business showed respectable top line
growth and maintained relatively healthy margins through its favourable services
mix and continuous optimisation drive. Gijima continues to expand its mobility
offerings and, although the contribution from this area is still small at
present, we anticipate that this will be an area of considerable growth going
forward.
Our revenue from the Industrial (mining and manufacturing) sector grew by 8,5%
over the period, with growth of 6,9% to Financial Services clients and 6% in
Public Services.
A significant investment has been made in converting Gijima`s operating model
from a product or business unit centric structure, to a client centric
structure. This meant changing certain senior management roles to focusing on
industry expertise, rather than technical ability alone. In the six-month period
approximately R18 million was expensed in costs associated with this
restructuring.
The Group incurred a non-cash forex loss of R8,6 million during the period which
is predominantly due to the consolidation of its foreign operations.
Depreciation and amortisation was 10% higher than the prior year, due to the
capital investment in new hardware and software technologies. The net financial
expense ended the period at 12% less due to lower borrowing costs.
Gijima`s effective tax rate of 32,0% is above the statutory norm due to a loss
incurred in our Namibian subsidiary that is not deducted in our tax computation.
The deferred tax asset of R121,8 million includes a calculated tax loss of R55,8
million.
The Group`s net cash balances increased significantly to R199,1 million. Gijima
generated R136,4 million in cash from operating activities for the six months,
of which R42.5 million arose from positive working capital management. As part
of the Group`s trade receivables securitisation programme of R300 million, R150
million of the debentures issued are due to expire in June 2012. The Group
anticipates rolling this debt forward well before the expiry date. The balance
expires in June 2015.
Gijima`s debt to equity ratio is 101% after having increased due to the
settlement charges incurred in the prior year. The current ratio measures at 1,2
times.
Dividends
No dividend has been declared for the period. The resumption of payment of
dividends will be reviewed by the Board in future, based on the Group`s trading
at the time.
Prospects
Compound annual growth rates of up to 9,5% are predicted for the ICT services
market through to 2015, compared to the 8,5% growth experienced over the last
year. Maintain, Support and Upgrade, Managed Services and Hosting services
contributed significantly to this growth with 26,4%, 26,1% and 19,0% growth,
respectively. The growth going forward is being driven by an increasing
optimisation drive across the economy, prompting the outsourcing of non-core IT
activities with the view to drive down cost. The convergence of IT and Telecoms,
along with the rapid upgrades and refreshing of technology, is also driving the
IT growth. The mobility wave should not be ignored, which is also being heavily
influenced by executives adoption along with Bring Your Own Device philosophies
being increasingly adopted across enterprise.
Gijima`s organisational restructure has been completed, with phase two
commencing in the second half of the year. This will focus on creating an
organisation that aligns with the core competencies required to deliver on
Gijima`s objectives and vision. This phase will include, but not limited to,
aspects such as cultural re-alignment along with efficiency drives. As a
technology organisation regular re-invention is critical not only to dominate a
market but also to remain relevant to customers.
Gijima places tremendous focus on its primary asset, its people. Gijima`s focus
is to ensure that it is able to attract, develop and retain the best skills
available. It has established a relationship with the University of the Western
Cape to provide B.Comm Honours programmes on its Samrand Campus. This is
supported by an annual Gordon Institute of Business Science programme run for
the emerging leadership within the Company. Gijima also provides a number of
internship programmes for young talent, with a view to providing a healthy
foundation of skills for the future.
Gijima is building a strong mobility capability, which is supported by the
recent announcement of its Apple System`s integration partnership, along with
its relationship with MobileIron, a mobile device management company. These
relationships along with internal development of mobility offerings will ensure
that Gijima establishes a strong presence in the market where it concerns
mobility offerings for enterprise.
