COMMENTS
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
The Group has once again produced excellent results. Trading conditions were
generally favourable during the year and demand for Group products, on the
whole, was better than the prior year. Acquisitions also contributed to the
performance.
In the CEG, agricultural machinery sales remained strong due largely to good
grain prices and high farming yields, construction machinery sales have
continued to recover and the materials handling operation has settled down and
is beginning to contribute to profits. In BMG, the Group`s industrial
consumables business, global demand for resources was steady, which
underpinned demand for BMG`s products, although trading in certain sectors was
challenging. Historic bolt-on acquisitions in this division also contributed
to earnings for the full year.
Group revenue grew by 24% to R5,599 billion. An improvement in the mix of
products sold and control of costs resulted in operating profit increasing by
26% to R635 million.
Profit before tax increased by 29% to R584 million, while a higher tax charge
resulted in the after tax profit for the year increasing by 21% to R515
million. The consolidation of the 25% (2011: 5%) BEE stake in Humulani
Investments (Pty) Ltd in terms of IFRS SIC12 (Consolidation - Special Purpose
Entities) assisted in lifting headline earnings by 39% to R484 million. A
circular to shareholders dated 1 August 2011 sets out the background to this.
Headline earnings per share grew by 39% to 687 cents per share, whilst
earnings per share grew by 38% to 698 cents per share. Working capital
management was very good, however the Group consciously increased its
investment in inventory by 50,9% (R703 million) but still managed to generate
cash from operations of R534 million.
The Group continued to take advantage of growth opportunities and made a
number of strategic acquisitions totalling R139 million. The most significant
of these was the acquisition by CEG of Equipment Spare Parts (Africa) (Pty)
Ltd (ESP).
BEARING MAN GROUP (BMG)
BMG continues to be the core profit base of the Invicta Group, contributing
59% of operating income for the year. Market demand for BMG`s products and
services improved in the year. A combination of a modest improvement in
volumes sold, supplier price increases passed on to customers and gains in
market share in certain sectors led to a satisfactory growth in revenue.
Revenue increased by 14,9% from R2,387 billion to R2,742 billion, attributable
to organic growth. This represents a doubling of revenue over the past 5
years.
Good margin and cost management helped to increase operating profit by 16,2%
to R371 million.
During the year, a strategic decision was taken to increase inventory which
has resulted in inventory in BMG increasing by 21%. During the year BMG was
accredited as a level 3 contributor in terms of the government`s Black
Economic Empowerment (BEE) codes which strengthened BMG`s position with its
customers.
CAPITAL EQUIPMENT GROUP (CEG)
The Capital Equipment Group (CEG) performed beyond expectation. The year
started off with good prospects in all parts of the division and with a
continuous focus on after sales support, customer communication and cost
control, the margins improved, resulting in best ever operating profits being
achieved. The acquisition of ESP in the last quarter of the financial year
will strengthen the Group`s future income from spare parts.
Total revenue of the CEG increased by 35,8% to R2,549 billion - 99,97% (R2 480
million) from organic growth and 0,03% (R69 million) from acquisitions. This
also represents a doubling of revenue over the past 5 years, whilst operating
profit tripled over the same period. A greater contribution from spares and
service revenue resulted in operating profit increasing by 56,7% to R247
million. The segment`s annualised operating profit return on capital employed
was 95%, up from 52% last year, an exceptional result. Overall, an excellent
performance by the CEG.
OTHER OPERATIONS
The Group has now bedded down its outlet distribution network for Tiletoria,
and although it did not make a material contribution to the Group during the
period, it is profitable and is projected to continue growing steadily.
PROSPECTS
Trading conditions in the sectors in which the Group operates appear to be
levelling off. The Group is concerned about the lack of investment in mining
in South Africa and the apparent gradual de-industrialisation of the country,
which, factors, inter alia, are prompting Invicta to look beyond the borders
of South Africa for growth in its core businesses.
BMG acquired Operational Marketing (Pty) Ltd and OMSA Valves and
Instrumentation (Pty) Ltd (OMSA Group) with effect from 1 April 2012. OMSA
adds a leading position in lubrication equipment, systems and field service to
BMG. In addition it brings significant potential for BMG to expand in
filtration, valves and instrumentation. BMG expects trading conditions for the
coming year to be more challenging than the past year.
In the CEG, grain prices (a big driver of demand for agricultural machinery in
South Africa) have softened since the end of the financial year. This may lead
to a decline in demand for agricultural machinery. Currently demand in the
construction equipment market is showing some improvement on last year.
However, if government`s commitment to infrastructure expenditure becomes a
reality, then demand should improve further.
In keeping with its stated dividend cover policy of 2,75 times cover for the
full year, the Board has declared a final dividend of 177 cents per share, an
increase of 40% over last year`s 126 cents per share.
The Board remains confident of the continued success of the Group.
