Comments
INTRODUCTION
The directors of OneLogix are pleased to present the audited results for the
year ended 31 May 2005 (`the year`). The audited annual financial statements
(`financial statements`) have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. and
the audit opinion is available for inspection at OneLogix`s registered office.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with South African
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The accounting policies
used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those
used in the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2004 (`the previous
year`), save in respect of AC 140 in terms of which the amortisation of goodwill
ceased with effect from 1 April 2004.
The group achieved strong organic growth for the year, reflecting a significant
improvement over 2004. Strict cash flow management and a disciplined cost regime
maintained healthy profit margins within a framework of managed growth and
significant capital investment.
Review of Operations
Vehicle Delivery Services (`VDS`) continued to perform well. During the year
substantial investment in infrastructure was made to expand its fleet and
enhance its vehicle tracking and IT systems. This enabled VDS to establish a
foothold locally while maintaining dominance of the cross-border auto logistics
market.
Media Express operates in a highly cost-conscious environment, which resulted in
a slight decrease in profit margins. The group is actively addressing this by
reviewing business process and exploring diversification into associated niche
markets.
PostNet`s ongoing review of its business proposition delivered strong operating
results. PostNet maintains dominance of the business service solutions niche
market and is continually exploring new product and service offerings through
its franchisee network.
4Logix is a relatively low-margin high-revenue business that offers logistics
solutions for the rail of bulk commodities to ports throughout South Africa.
With effect from 1 December 2004 the group increased its shareholding from 35%
to 51%. During the year 4Logix secured a number of lucrative long-term
contracts, which contributed to the group`s profitability.
Financial Results
Revenue for the group increased by 46% from R73 million to R106 million.
Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (`EBITDA`)
grew by 15% to R21,8 million representing approximately 21% of revenue.
Headline earnings per share (`HEPS`) rose by 63% from 4,1 cents per share to 6,7
cents per share.
The increase in revenue can be attributed largely to the consolidation of 4Logix
with effect from 1 December 2004, as well as the higher revenue generated by VDS
following its successful entry into the local market. The additional revenue
impacted on receivables, which increased by 105%.
The taxation charge was reduced by a prior year`s deferred tax overprovision and
learnership allowances totalling R2,2 million.
Cash generated from operations decreased from R22,2 million to R11,5 million as
a result of increased working capital commensurate with growth in revenue,
coupled with the effect of winding down the discontinued operations` working
capital in 2004. Notwithstanding this, cash generated from operations
significantly underpinned headline earnings. The group settled its vendor
liability of R2,5 million during the year and invested a total of R16,5 million
in infrastructure, mainly for VDS. Infrastructure spend was financed by cash
generated from operations and a R6,5 million increase in interest-bearing
borrowings.
Black Economic Empowerment (`BEE`)
In line with the intention to introduce a BEE partner as stated in the 2004
annual results announcement, the group is pleased to announce that a consortium
led by Sipho Pityana`s Izingwe Capital and including the historically
disadvantaged staff of OneLogix will aquire a stake of 25% in OneLogix
(Proprietary) Limited, the wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for directing the
group`s operations.
Full details of the transaction are set out in a separate announcement today.
Prospects
The group anticipates that its enhanced BEE platform together with the current
positive economic climate will drive organic growth in the year ahead.
OneLogix will also continue to explore acquisitive opportunities that complement
its niche high-margin cash-generative businesses.
People
As previously announced Craig Rutters resigned as Managing Director of Media
Express with effect from 31 January 2005. We thank him for his contribution to
the group and wish him well in his new endeavour. We welcome Geoff Milton as the
new Managing Director of Media Express. Geoff has 12 years` experience in the
courier industry and is well-equipped for his new role within OneLogix. We also
congratulate Dirk Holl, former General Manager of VDS, on his appointment to the
board of OneLogix (Proprietary) Limited with effect from 31 January 2005.
We are satisfied that OneLogix is developing a strong management team equipped
with appropriate skills to guide the group`s continued growth. OneLogix thanks
its management, employees and PostNet business partners as well as its
customers, suppliers, business advisors and shareholders for their ongoing
support.
Dividend
In line with group policy no dividend has been declared for the year.
