Interim Results for the six months ended 30th June 2022

 

 

The Company presents its unaudited interims results for the six months ended
30 June 2022:

 

Performance

As set out in our 2021 Annual Report announced on 27(th) April 2022, the
directors had significant concerns about the macro-economic challenges facing
the Group.  These concerns remain, however, the directors are very pleased to
report that Group sales revenue for the first six months of 2022 increased by
17% to £21.3m when compared to £18.2m for the same period in 2021, while
profit before tax increased to £1.6m compared to £885,000 for the same
period in 2021.  The retained profit for the six-month period includes a
further £350,000 provision for repairs to our chain cell area in anticipation
of additional costs as previously announced in June 2022.  Profit from
operations before exceptional items was £2.1m compared to £984,000 for the
same six month-period last year.  All sectors of the Group have performed
strongly, following a sustained surge in customer demand, which the directors
attribute to recovery from the covid pandemic alongside constraints in the
supply chain which have driven up prices.  The automotive sector has
continued to perform well after the upturn in the spring of 2021 and the 4B
division has also seen strong performances especially in the USA and
Australia.

 

The performance of the Group has benefited from Sterling weakening against the
US dollar during 2022.  A significant proportion of the Group's income is
earned in the USA, and consequently, Sterling weakening from a rate of 1.348
at the end of 2021 to 1.214 at the end of June 2022 results in an increase in
profit for the Group when reported in Sterling.  The results also include
£186,000 of profit (shown in other operating income) derived from the
disposal of the Group's property in Lamotte Warfussee, following the
relocation of 4B France's business to its new warehouse at Villers
Bretonneux.  Accordingly, the trading performance of the Group in the first
half of the year has surpassed previous periods.

 

Dividends

In line with the Group's policy to maintain dividend growth, balanced
alongside the Group's requirement for investment in capital to support long
term growth, the directors have decided to increase the interim dividend from
4.25p to 4.75p per share.  This dividend will be paid on 14th October 2022 to
the Ordinary and 'A' Ordinary shareholders on the register on the 30th
September 2022.  The associated ex-dividend date is 29(th) September 2022.

 

Braime Pressings Limited

External sales revenue of £3.0m in the first 6 months of 2022 was 13% up on
the same period last year driven by strong demand from the automotive sector
as well as an increase in steel commodity prices which has driven up sales
prices.  Intercompany sales also increased by £666,000 driven by stronger
turnover in the 4B division.  The manufacturing division made a profit before
tax of £516,000 as a result of the higher demand for its products.

 

4B Division

Our distribution division's external sales revenue of £18.3m increased by 18%
when compared to £15.6m for the same period last year. Intercompany trading
increased by 17% to £3.1m compared to £2.6m for the same period in 2021. The
division has benefitted from an increase in demand across most geographical
and product sectors as customers have started to invest in new projects
following the Covid pandemic.  The £2.8m increase in external sales has had
a positive direct impact on profitability, with profit after tax for the 4B
division for the six-month period increasing to £1.4m as compared to
£494,000 for the same period last year.

 

Balance Sheet

Net assets of the Group as at 30th June 2022 amounted to £17.3m (30th June
2021 - £15.4m).  Tangible fixed asset additions in during the period
amounted to £893,000. Of this, £570,000 relates to the new
climate-controlled warehouse at our Leeds headquarters which became
operational in May 2022. Other capital investments relate to items of
manufacturing equipment and IT expenditure.  Intangible fixed asset additions
of £725,000 relate to the purchase of the exclusive sales rights and customer
lists for a specialised range of electronic components used in the bulk
material handing industry, which complement and enhance the 4B division's
existing products.

 

Inventory of £11.2m has increased by £2.1m when compared to 30th June 2021
and increased by £1.1m when compared to 31st December 2021.  This is in part
due to large increases in raw material prices, and in part, due to stocking up
to meet increased customer demand and mitigate against turbulence in the
supply chain.  Trade receivables of £8.5m have increased by £1.0m when
compared to 30th June 2021 and increased by £2.3m when compared to 31st
December 2021. This increase is a direct consequence of the rise in revenue in
2022, and in fact, the Group's overall debtor days are lower than as at June
2021 and the same as at December 2021. Trade payables of £6.1m have increased
by £729,000 when compared to 30th June 2021 and increased by £1.2m when
compared to 31st December 2021 in line with expectations from the increased
purchases of stock.

 

Cash flow

The net cash position of the Group at the end of June 2022 was £201,000
overdrawn.  Cash generated from operations before working capital movements
was £2.5m.   Working capital (inventory, receivables and payables)
increases for the six-month period came to £1.7m as a consequence of
increased trading activity outlined above.  Provisions, which all relate to
the Chain Cell project, increased by £115,000, being the net of the
additional £350,000 mentioned above and amounts utilised during the period,
whilst investment in capital projects gave rise to outflows of £1.6m.
Proceeds from disposal of £218,000 relate primarily to the sale of the old
French property.  The impact on cash of loans movement was negligible, the
Group having repaid £233,000 of capital whilst taking up new loans of
£236,000.  Overall, net cash reduced by £1.2m during the six months to 30th
June 2022.   The business has sufficient headroom within its £3.5m bank
overdraft facility and management remain focused in ensuring that working
capital requirements, particularly for stock and debtors, are carefully
monitored and controlled.

 

Principal exchange rates

The Group reports its results in Sterling, its presentational currency.  The
Group operates in six other currencies and the average of the principal
exchange rates in use during the half year and as at 30th June 2022 are shown
in the table below, along with comparatives.  As mentioned previously, a
significant proportion of the Group revenues are in the USA, and the Group has
incurred foreign exchange gains from the strengthening of the US dollar
against the Sterling since 31st December 2021.  The gain on translation of
overseas assets amounted to £604,000 for the six-month period, as shown in
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income table on page 5.

Notes to KPI's

1.             Turnover growth

The Group aims to increase shareholder value by measuring the year-on-year
growth in Group revenue.  Revenues are up due to the strong demand in both
the manufacturing and material handling sectors and a rise in raw material
prices.

 

2.             Gross margin

Gross profit (revenue less change in inventories and raw materials used) as a
percentage of revenue is monitored to maximise profits available for
reinvestment and distribution to shareholders.  Gross margin is in line with
the same period last year.  This is particularly pleasing given the increase
in unit cost of sales. The directors continue to monitor the margins carefully
for further movement.

 

3.             Operating profit

Sustainable growth in operating profit is a strategic priority to enable
ongoing investment and increase shareholder value.  Operating profits have
improved as a direct result of the increase in sales in both the manufacturing
and the 4B division.

 

4.             Stock days

The average value of inventories divided by raw materials and consumables used
and changes in inventories of finished goods and work in progress expressed as
a number of days is monitored to ensure the right level of stocks are held in
order to meet customer demands whilst not carrying excessive amounts which
impacts upon working capital requirements.  Stock days have reduced despite
the absolute value of inventory increasing with as a result of the strong
sales performance in the period.  This reflects management's continued focus
on working capital.

 

5.             Debtor days

The average value of trade receivables divided by revenue expressed as a
number of days.  This is an important indicator of working capital
requirements.  Debtor days at 54 days are below the standard payment terms of
60 days and have improved from the same period last year.  Management remain
focused on reducing this to improve cash.

 

Other metrics monitored weekly or monthly include quality measures (such as
customer complaints), raw materials buying prices, capital expenditure, line
utilisation, reportable accidents and near-misses.

 

Outlook for the second half of 2022

As advised above, many aspects of our Group profile and the exchange rate
movement in the first six months of 2022 have contributed to the Group's
exceptionally good interim result, a result which has far exceeded our
expectations at the start of the year.

 

Some of these factors may continue to benefit the Group for the remainder of
this year.  However, at some point, the current global recession is going to
have negative effects on us too.  The likely fall in consumer demand will
inevitably reduce the demand for truck parts, both for new commercial vehicles
and for spares, high demand for which has been driven over the past 12 months
by high consumer demand post the pandemic.  Most of the large infrastructure
projects which had been delayed by the pandemic have or are reaching
completion.

 

Although most of our customers handling, distributing and processing cereals
will continue to benefit from the current very high commodity prices,
ultimately even their new investment will be more cautious given the increase
in the cost of new machinery and because of higher interest rates where needed
to finance investments.  Large areas where investment has been very high in
recent years remain "no go" areas due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

 

While thus far, our margins have benefited from our policy of substantially
increasing our stocks ahead of the huge cost increase in raw materials, the
effect of these cost increases will increasingly feed through and result in
lower gross margins.  We are also going to see the direct negative impact of
increases in our own overhead costs following on from much higher energy and
freight costs.  The unknown is not a question of if these negative factors
will affect us, but of when, and the degree.

 

Nevertheless, the Group remains well placed to weather these adversities.
Our main concerns, and principal risks, remain the Group's exposure to
currency fluctuations and the very large negative impact of much higher costs
on our cash flow.  Cash flow is an issue we are focused on and continuously
and carefully monitoring, while still aiming to complete the long-term capex
investments already in progress.

 

Employees

All our employees in the Group, regardless of location continue to make a
major contribution and we thank them for their efforts.

are consistent with those used in the preparation of the full financial
statements to 31st December 2021 and those which management expects to apply
in the Group's full financial statements to 31st December 2022.

 

This interim financial report is unaudited.  The comparative financial
information set out in this interim financial report does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for the period ended 31st December 2021 but is
derived from the accounts.  Statutory accounts for the period ended 31st
December 2021 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.  The
auditors have reported on those accounts.  Their audit report was unqualified
and did not contain any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act
2006.

 

The Group's condensed interim financial information has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as
adopted for the use in the European Union and in accordance with IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting' and the accounting policies included in the
Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2021, which have been applied
consistently throughout the current and preceding periods.

·    Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates - Clarifies
how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting

·    Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities
arising from a Single Transaction - Introduces an exception to clarify that
the 'initial recognition exemption' does not apply to transactions that give
rise to equal taxable and deductible timing differences - effective accounting
periods beginning on or after 1st January 2023.

 

The application and interpretations surrounding the new or amended standards
is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's reported financial
performance or position.  However, they may give rise to additional
disclosures being made in the financial statements.

 

2.      Earnings per share and dividends
