COMMENTS
The directors of OneLogix are pleased to present the unaudited results for the
interim period.
Basis of preparation
The group adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the
previous financial year ended 31 May 2006 ("the previous year") and IFRS has
accordingly been consistently applied for the interim period.
These results have not been audited or reviewed by the company`s auditors.
Review of operations
The group`s businesses continue to perform well across the board:
Vehicle Delivery Services ("VDS") remained the group`s stellar performer, as
reflected in the tangible return on continued investment in fleet expansion,
facilities and IT software and systems. High levels of efficiency within the
business support this investment and continue to drive ongoing growth. VDS
continues to dominate the buoyant cross-border auto-logistics market and is
making encouraging progress as an operator in the local market.
PostNet, a franchised chain of 215 business service outlets which serve the
high-
growth SMME market, continued to capitalise on an intensive brand re-engineering
process to deliver another good performance.
Media Express ("ME") made marked progress in expanding its customer base within
the price sensitive niche of express printed media delivery and continued to
successfully move into aligned niche markets. The leveraging of inhouse
capabilities that resulted in a collaboration between ME and PostNet, has begun
to show the benefits of promising synergies.
4Logix and Gijima delivered a solid performance. The business offers logistics
solutions for the rail of bulk commodities to ports throughout South Africa.
Skilled management and long-term contracts maintain growth in a market that is
traditionally characterised by relatively high revenue and low margins.
Financial results
Revenue for the group increased by 59% to R128 million from R80 million.
Operating profit grew by 61% to R16,6 million, representing approximately 13% of
revenue. Headline earnings per share ("HEPS") rose by 35% from 3,8 cents per
share to 5,1 cents per share.
The increase in revenue can be largely attributed to the higher revenue
generated by VDS on the back of a buoyant local market. Notwithstanding the
growth in revenue, the debtors days have improved in comparison to the prior
period.
The taxation charge of R4,3 million (2005: R1,6 million) has normalised to
approximately 29% (2005: 17%) of net profit before tax. The current financial
year`s tax rate is also expected to be approximately 29% (2005: 13%).
Despite the increased working capital requirements commensurate with growth in
revenue, cash generated from operations increased from R9,6 million to R10,3
million.
The group invested a total of R33,8 million in infrastructure. Approximately R6
million relates to vehicle storage facilities with the balance of R27,8 million
allocated to expansion of the VDS fleet. Infrastructure spend was financed by
cash generated from operations and a R24,8 million increase in interest-bearing
borrowings.
Property, plant and equipment includes the land and buildings, mainly situated
in Pomona, Kempton Park at a cost of R19,7 million and also in Pinetown, Durban
at a cost of R4,7 million. These properties were financed at favourable fixed
rates over a 10 year period and represent R12,1 million of the group`s interest-
bearing borrowings at the end of the interim period. These properties are
accounted for at cost and the improvements are amortised over 10-20 years.
BEE dilution
The historical accumulated loss which resides in the group`s main operating
subsidiary, OneLogix (Pty) Limited, has been almost completely reversed. Once
the loss has been reversed in full the group will be required to account in the
second half of the current financial year for the future attributable profits
that accord to our BEE partners. Had the group been required to account for this
dilution in the interim period, there would have been a reduction in
attributable earnings of approximately 15%.
Prospects
The outlook for the full financial year to May 2007 is positive. VDS has secured
two major local market contracts, both of which will become operational in April
2007. When combined with strong growth prospects in the remaining businesses,
the directors anticipate growth in HEPS for the year to 31 May 2007 despite the
dilution of earnings resulting from the BEE transaction (see BEE dilution
above).
The directors believe that a major driver of growth will be organic growth,
which will be sustainable over the medium to long term as a result of each
company`s strong management team and business processes developed over recent
years. These factors will entrench the companies` ability to take advantage of
their positioning within high growth niche markets. In addition, OneLogix will
continue to explore appropriate acquisitive opportunities that complement its
niche, cash-generative businesses.
People
OneLogix`s culture of quality service is carried through to its people.
Motivated, high calibre people are prioritised, which we believe will ensure
that the company has strong leadership with the necessary skills to guide the
group`s continued growth.
We wish to thank all management, employees, business partners, customers,
suppliers, business advisors and shareholders for their continued support.
