AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 AND CASH DIVIDEND
DECLARATION
HIGHLIGHTS
- Underlying operating profit up 6.4% to R517 million
- Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 13.8% (2010: 13.1%)
- Underlying earnings per share increased to 102.9 cents (2010: 24.3 cents)
- Gearing down to 35% from 96% in prior year
- Maiden cash dividend declared of 40 cents per share
The highlight of the year was undoubtedly Mpact`s listing on the JSE on 11
July 2011 and the subsequent demerger from the Mondi Group, effective 18 July
2011. This demerger and rebranding has enabled us to position ourselves as a
leading, independent and focused paper and plastics packaging company.
For the year under review, trading conditions were challenging with demand
being under pressure across the industry for most of the reporting period. We
attribute this mainly to the continued uncertain economic conditions
prevailing both globally and locally. In the first half of the year, local
demand for packaging was also negatively affected by import substitution of
paper, packaging and finished goods as a result of the strength of the rand.
Despite these challenges, through proactive intervention, both the paper and
plastics businesses realised substantial cost savings and improved operating
performance which offset the effects of reduced volumes. The increase in
underlying earnings is attributable mainly to lower financing costs and
strong cash generation in the second half of the year.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenue of R6,281 million was in line with the comparable prior year period
with higher average selling prices offset by lower volumes in the paper
business and in Paperlink, the paper merchanting business, which was sold at
the end of March 2011.
Underlying operating profit of R517 million was 6.4% up on the comparable
prior year period. Return on capital employed for the year was 13.8% (2010:
13.1%).
Paper business
Revenue was 3.8% higher at R4,573 million. In line with seasonal trends,
sales volumes for the second half of the year exceeded the first. However,
volumes for the full year were down on the comparable prior year period,
attributable predominantly to lower domestic sector growth, import
substitution and reduced exports.
Underlying operating profit of R560 million for 2011 was 6.4% higher than the
comparable prior year period owing mainly to productivity improvements, cost
savings and higher average selling prices.
Plastics business
Revenue of R1,577 million grew 20.4% compared to 2010 due to increased
volumes and higher average selling prices. Selling prices in this business
increased on the back of higher raw material costs.
Underlying operating profit for the period increased by 25.6% over the prior
year to R114 million due to higher sales volumes and cost savings.
Special items
In the year under review, special items include non-recurring costs amounting
to R87.4 million relating to the listing and demerger from Mondi which are
excluded from underlying profit before tax.
Finance costs
Net finance costs of R291 million were lower than the comparable prior year
period by 24.8%.
On 5 July 2011 net debt was substantially reduced as part of the capital
restructuring prior to listing on the JSE on 11 July 2011. Consequently, net
interest costs in the second half of the year were substantially lower than
the first half.
Tax
The effective tax rate is 39%, which is higher than the normal company income
tax rate of 28% mainly due to non-deductible listing costs and disallowable
interest.
Earnings per share
In terms of a special resolution passed on 28 April 2011 the number of
ordinary shares in issue was increased from 159,950 ordinary shares to
23,192,750 ordinary shares following a share split. Thus the number of
ordinary shares in issue on 30 June 2011 was 23,192,750.
On 5 July 2011 an additional 140,853,726 ordinary shares were issued to the
then shareholders as part of Mpact`s capital restructuring prior to listing.
Consequently the company listed on 11 July 2011 with 164,046,476 issued
ordinary shares.
On the basis of 164,046,476 issued ordinary shares, basic earnings per
ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2011 are 54.9 cents (2010: 22.4
cents) while underlying earnings per ordinary share are 102.9 cents (2010:
24.3 cents).
Borrowings
On 5 July 2011 the following major changes to the net debt occurred pursuant
to the demerger of Mpact from Mondi and the listing on the JSE:
- A further 140,853,726 ordinary shares were issued for proceeds of R2,090
million;
- The company drew down R1,790 million against new banking facilities;
- Existing bank loans of R1,144 million were settled; and
- All outstanding shareholder loans amounting to R2,833 million were repaid.
Consequently, at the date of listing, 11 July 2011, the Group`s net debt
amounted to R1,718 million. Net debt at 31 December 2011 was R1,307 million
(2010: R3,640 million).
Dividends
The board has declared a maiden cash dividend of 40 cents per ordinary share,
payable on 30 April 2012. The last day to trade will be Thursday, 19 April
2012. Ex dividend trading begins on Friday, 20 April 2012 and the record date
will be Thursday, 26 April 2012.The dividend declared is in line with our
stated dividend policy which reflects our strategy of creating value and
growth, with the objective of offering our shareholders long-term dividend
growth.
OUTLOOK
We expect margins in the paper business to remain under pressure as lower
international paper prices and the threat of import substitution limit our
ability to fully recover cost increases, especially energy, transport and
labour.
Despite this, our strong market position in the paper business remains a key
competitive advantage.
In the plastics business, we will continue with the optimisation of our
existing operations while seeking further opportunities to establish Mpact as
the leading South African rigid plastic packaging producer.
While the economy and trading conditions are expected to remain challenging
in the near term, Mpact continues to be well positioned within the sectors it
operates.

restructured, and settled its long term debt including its floating rate
debt. As a result of the settlement of the floating rate debt, the
corresponding interest rate swap was terminated. The costs of R23.1 million
of early termination of the interest rate swap, have been included in finance
costs for the current year. In addition, finance costs of R11.2 million were
incurred on the debt financing arrangements.

1 The calculation of basic EPS, HEPS and underlying EPS has been based on the
profit for the reported period, as shown above, and on 164,046,476 ordinary
shares, which represents the aggregate number of shares that were listed on
11 July 2011. The Group was not a stand-alone entity prior to the demerger
date. The number of shares in issue has therefore been retrospectively
applied to the comparative period, so that meaningful comparison can be made.
2 Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue, on the assumption of conversion of all potential
dilutive ordinary shares.
7. Dividend per share (cents)
The company declared no dividends during the year ended 31 December 2011.
On 6 March 2012 the Board declared a cash dividend of 40 cents per share, and
will be paid in accordance with the following timetable:
Last day to trade to receive a dividend Thursday, 19 April 2012
Shares commence trading ex dividend Friday, 20 April 2012
Record date Thursday, 26 April 2012
Payment date Monday, 30 April 2012
