CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview of H1 2024
The Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the "period") was
£38.4 million, a decrease of £0.5 million compared with the same period in
2023. This decrease was predominantly due to the loss of approximately £1.0
million of turnover from our loss making French operation which, as previously
reported, was closed with effect from November 2023. Operating profit for the
period was £9.7 million compared with £9.7 million in 2023. Overall, net
funds increased by £2.0 million from £4.6 million as at 31 December 2023 to
£6.6 million as at 30 June 2024 as a result of the £1.1 million cash
generated in the period and £0.9 million reduction in right-of-use lease
obligations arising from property lease payments. As at 30 June 2023 net funds
were £24.8 million, with the prior year special dividend payment of £24.9
million in November 2023 significantly reducing the net funds at 31 December
2023. A further breakdown of net funds is given in note 8.
Operations review
Revenue at Andrews Sykes Hire in the UK declined by 1.6% compared with the
same period in 2023 with a combination of milder winter temperatures and a
slow start to the summer cooling season limiting revenue opportunities. Our
businesses in Europe also faced similar conditions, with revenue decreasing
12.2% compared to the same period in 2023 (4.5% decrease excluding the impact
of closing our loss-making French subsidiary). This was largely driven by
disappointing performances from our Luxembourg and Belgian subsidiaries, with
revenues down 37.6% and 24.8% respectively on the same period in 2023.
Luxembourg has been impacted by issues within the construction industry, a
major revenue market for our products, with the Luxembourg Government
declaring crisis measures in February 2024. Like the UK, Belgium was impacted
by milder winter temperatures and a slow start to the summer cooling season.
Italy continued to perform strongly with revenue increasing 10.6% compared to
2023. Despite these overall challenges to revenue growth, the combined
operating profit for the UK and European hire businesses was marginally above
the level achieved in 2023, demonstrating our strong cost control and
continued operational efficiencies.
Andrews Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, our UK air conditioning
installation business, experienced a difficult trading period primarily due to
a reduction in large installation projects. Revenue decreased 29.0% in the
period compared to the first six months of 2023, with operating profit
reducing from £0.1m to a small loss in the period.
Khansaheb Sykes, our business based in the UAE, continues to experience an
improvement in trading performance since the introduction of new senior
management in the previous year. Revenue increased 31.7% versus the first half
of 2023 with a decision taken to lease a new depot in Abu Dhabi further
expected to increase revenue opportunities. The increased turnover in the UAE
has resulted in operating profit being £0.4m higher to the first half of
2023.
Profit for the period and Earnings per Share
Profit before tax for the period was £9.7 million compared with £10.1
million in the same period last year. With operating profit being marginally
ahead for the period, this £0.4 million decrease is attributable to an
increased net foreign exchange loss on inter-company balances of £0.1 million
due to the strengthening of Sterling compared with the Euro, a net decrease of
£0.1 million in interest receivable resulting from the lower interest
received on cash deposits as a result of the reduced cash balances compared to
the same period in 2023 and an increased interest charge of £0.1 million on
right-of-use lease obligations.
The total tax charge for the period increased by £0.1 million to £2.7
million (2023: £2.6 million), an effective tax rate of 27.4% (2023: 25.5%).
The increase in the overall effective rate of tax is driven by an increase in
the UK corporation tax rate from 19% to 25% effective from April 2023, giving
a blended rate of 23.5% for UK corporation tax in 2023 versus 25% in 2024.
Profit after tax in the period was £7.1 million (2023: £7.5 million). Basic
earnings per share decreased by 0.98 pence, or 5.5%, to 16.90 pence (2023:
17.88 pence) reflecting this decrease in profit.
Dividends
The final dividend of 14.00 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31
December 2023 was approved by members at the AGM held on 18 June 2024.
Accordingly, on 21 June 2024 the Company paid dividends totalling £5.9
million to shareholders on the register as at 24 May 2024.
The Board continues to adopt the policy of returning value to shareholders
whenever possible. The Group remains profitable, cash generative and
financially strong. Accordingly, the board has decided to declare an interim
dividend of 11.90 pence per ordinary share which in total amounts to £5.0
million. The interim dividend will be paid on 1 November 2024 to shareholders
on the register as at 4 October 2024.
Outlook
Trading in the second half of the year to date has been more subdued than in
the comparable period of last year. A slow start to the summer season with
cooler than average July temperatures recorded in the UK and Northern Europe
has limited the overall revenue opportunities for the Group in these
jurisdictions. Southern Europe and the Middle East continue to trade
positively compared to the prior period. The Group's focus on continued cost
control and operational efficiency will continue to limit the impact of these
subdued revenue opportunities. Overall, Management remains confident of
delivering full year results in line with the Board's expectations. In the
longer term, Management remains optimistic that the business will continue to
improve but are mindful of the impact that adverse economic issues can pose to
the business and customer demand.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of international accounting standards
in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

the Group's statutory accounts for 2023 as defined in Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for 2023 have been delivered to the

Act 2006. These interim financial statements, which were approved by the Board
of Directors on 24 September 2024, have not been audited or reviewed by the
auditors.
Basis of preparation
The interim financial statement has been prepared using the historical cost
basis of accounting except for:
(i) Properties held at the date of transition to IFRS
which are stated at deemed cost;
(ii) Assets held for sale which are stated at the lower of
(i) fair value less anticipated disposal costs and (ii) carrying value;
(iii) Derivative financial instruments (including embedded
derivatives) which are valued at fair value; and
(iv) Pension scheme assets and liabilities calculated at
fair value in accordance with IAS 19
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with
international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006. The condensed set of financial statements included in this
half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with the AIM
Rules issued by the London Stock Exchange.
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the interim Financial
Statements comply with international accounting standards in conformity with
the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and are consistent with the
policies set out in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31
December 2023.
No new standards or interpretations issued since 31 December 2023 have had a
material impact on the accounting of the Group.

4 Income tax expense
The total effective tax charge for the financial period represents the best
estimate of the weighted average annual effective tax rate expected for the
full financial year applying tax rates that have been substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date. In the UK budget on 15 March 2021, the chancellor
announced that the rate of corporation tax in the UK will increase from 19% to
25% with effect from 1 April 2023. UK corporation tax has been provided at 25%
being the tax rate in the UK for 2024. Deferred tax has been calculated based
on the rates that the directors anticipate will apply when the temporary
timing differences are expected to reverse.

7 Pensions
The Group closed the UK Group defined benefit pension scheme to future accrual
as at 29 December 2002. The assets of the defined benefit pension scheme
continue to be held in a separate trustee administered fund. Over recent years
the Group has taken steps to manage the ongoing risks associated with its
defined benefit liabilities. During the previous year the group completed an
insurance buy-in of the scheme meaning the scheme has been derisked in terms
of investment, interest rate, inflation and longevity risks. The buy-in
secures an insurance asset that fully matches, subject to final price
adjustments, the remaining pension liabilities of the scheme.
As at 30 June 2024 the Group had a net defined benefit pension scheme surplus,
calculated in accordance with IAS 19 using the assumptions as set out below,
of £2,514,000 (30 June 2023: £8,377,000; 31 December 2023: £2,489,000). The
asset has been recognised in the financial statements as the directors are
satisfied that it is recoverable in accordance with IFRIC 14.
The last formal triennial funding valuation was as at 31 December 2022. The
valuation, including a revised schedule of
contributions, was agreed between the pension scheme trustees and the Board of
directors in December 2023 and was effective from 1 January 2024. In
accordance with this schedule of contributions, and based on the actions taken
by the group during 2023 as already described, the group is no longer required
to make any regular contributions into the scheme. Consequently, the Group
expects to make total contributions to the defined benefit pension scheme of
£Nil during 2024.
Assumptions used to calculate the scheme surplus
The IAS 19 figures are based on a number of actuarial assumptions as set out
below, which the actuaries have confirmed they consider appropriate.
