There is no disclosure of segment assets and liabilities as it is not possible
to specifically allocate tangible assets and liabilities to specific segments.
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed
and this is supported by management reporting disciplines, which include
monthly variance reporting. Insimbi`s performance is monitored continuously
and issues arising are addressed at monthly management meetings that have
board representation present.
Management considers the business from both a geographical and product
management perspective. Management assesses the performance of the operating
segments based on measures such as gross and operating profit.
COMMENTARY
The directors of Insimbi are pleased to announce the audited results for the
year ended 29 February 2012.
1. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
The results for the year ended 29 February 2012 have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"),
specifically IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and AC 500 Statements,
and comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and the
Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The principle accounting
policies applied by the group in the abridged consolidated financial
results for the year ended 29 February 2012 are consistent with those
applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28
February 2011. These financial statements do not include all the
information for full annual financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
29 February 2012.The results have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
Inc. Their unqualified audit report and the audited financial statements
are available for inspection at the company`s registered office. These
abridged financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of
Fred Botha(CA)SA (Financial Director).
2. Review of activities
Insimbi continues to operate out of our offices in Johannesburg, Durban,
Atlantis and Kitwe and we are actively represented in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe via our agents there. In addition, we
continue to service most sub-Saharan and central African countries, as
well as certain north, west and east African countries. We are also
active in South America, Eastern Europe, certain Middle East countries
and the UAE, Japan and Korea as well as India.
3. Financial Review
The Group achieved improved results for the financial year ending 29th
February 2012 and there were definite signs of an improvement in our
specific target markets with revenues almost back to 2008 levels. The
slightly weaker rand definitely had a positive impact on our client base
and we saw increases in the production at many of our foundry segment
customers in particular. Alloy and resource prices were relatively stable
throughout the period under review and this enabled us to manage our
business more efficiently. This also had a positive impact on the month
to month consistency of our group`s performance compared to the
volatility of the prior years.
Group revenue grew 15% to R845 million and earnings and headline earnings
increased by 30% to reach R15,6 million and 52% respectively.
The group produced a gross profit of R93,5 million compared to R89.5
million in the previous year, an increase of 4,4%. Gross margins were
slightly down at 11,1% compared to 12,2% in the previous year but this
was mainly due to the increase in sales of lower margin products which
boosted our revenues. We did, however, experience improved margins in the
second half of the year as a result of the rand which started to weaken
and an increased focus on this area. Gross margins were 10,6% at 31
August 2011 compared to the full year gross margin of 11,1%.
Group consolidated operating expenses were well controlled throughout the
period under review and were R64,6 million compared to R71,1 million in
the previous year and reduction in overall operating costs of 9,2%.
Group Operating profit for the period was R29,2 million compared to R24,6
million in the previous financial year, an increase of 18,8% and Insimbi
achieved earnings and headline earnings per share of 6,07 cents per share
and 6,00 cents per share compared to 4,63 and 3,9 cents per share for the
previous financial year, increases of 31% and 54% respectively.
Working capital and cash-flow management remained a key focus area for
the group`s management and R40,2 million was generated from operations
compared to R26,1 million in the previous year, an increase of R14,1
million of 58%. Lower borrowings were reflected in decreased finance
costs of R7,3 million compared to R8,8 million in the prior period, a
reduction of R1,5 million in interest (17%).
4. Market and Prospects
The group generated strong cash-flow throughout the period under review
mainly due to tight working capital management, improved revenues and
profitability.
The Foundry Segment has experienced improved trading conditions mainly,
partly due to the stimulus to local manufacturing as a result of the
weaker rand which enabled local product to compete with imported finished
product, mainly from China.
The Steel Segment did initially show signs of improvement in the first
quarter but the NUMSA strike and production challenges at some steel
plants had a negative impact on this segment.
The Refractory Segment continues to experience challenging trading
conditions but in our experience, this segment`s trading cycle tends to
lag behind the other 2 segments by about 6 to 9 months and so we are
confident that there will be improvement in this segment in the current
financial year. Unfortunately the planned infrastructure spend did not
materialise in the year under review and this effected the construction
industry tremendously and had a negative impact on cement demand that in
turn limited cement kiln repairs.
Generally this inability of government to effectively spend budgets
allocated to infrastructure projects on said projects, impacted
negatively on certain product ranges and off-take volumes but we are
optimistic that systems have been put in place by the relevant
authorities in the current financial year to ensure that the R845 billion
budgeted for infrastructure uplift over the next 3 years, is in fact
spent on the planned projects.
Economic conditions in South Africa have improved and although the GDP
growth rate is lower than expected, we remain optimistic on the recent
momentum of business. This despite the ongoing unfolding events in Europe
which do not appear to have had a significant impact on us to date.
Insimbi has been targeting markets that are considered to be emerging and
the Group will still focus on these markets. We have a diverse range of
products on offering and with the re-opening of the secondary aluminium
smelter in Johannesburg (which was mothballed in 2010); the establishment
of a subsidiary company, Insimbi Nano Milling, which will be focusing on
the micronisation of a completely new range of products for new target
markets; and the addition of certain products to our basket, we are
confident that the group will continue to achieve satisfactory organic
growth in years to come.
As for acquisitive growth opportunities, we continue to look for and
carefully evaluate strategic targets and while we have not achieved the
number of acquisitions we had hoped for, post listing, the few that we
have achieved, have added value to the group`s results and we remain
committed to this acquisition strategy.
5. Special resolutions
At the Annual General Meeting held on 26 August 2011, it was resolved
that the directors be authorised to re-purchase up to 10% of the company
shares subject to certain conditions.
6. Post balance sheet events
It is worth mentioning the following:
a) that the secondary aluminum smelter in Johannesburg which was
mothballed in 2010, is in the process of being recommissioned and is
expected to be in production imminently. The business has been
restructured to emulate our Metlite operations in Cape Town and
whose business model has proven to be very successful.
b) Insimbi board has approved the excerising of it`s option to purchase
the Teakwood property which it currently rents for R155k per month
in Jacobs, Mobeni, KZN, for an amount of R13,5 million. This
property was secured in 2010 via the lease and option to purchase
agreements and a deposit of R2,7 million was paid into the
lessor/sellers attorney escrow account. Application for a mortage
bond of R13,5 million to Nedbank was made and approval has been
granted. The effective date of the acquisition will be 1 August
2012.

no credits in terms of secondary tax on companies have been utilised.
The net amount payable to shareholders who are not exempt from DT is 0,85
