Joe Grimmond, Executive Chairman, commented:
"These results are pleasing as they show our ability to successfully bed down
the four acquisitions we made in 2022, which doubled the size of our business,
as well as weed out lower margin business lines. As a result of these changes,
we remain on track with our year end earnings targets. Our overall objective
remains to build a specialist UK plastics business of scale, targeting
profitable, high-demand sectors. To this end, we maintained sales whilst
substantially improving gross margins. Key to future growth is the investment
we have made and continue to make in new machinery positioning us to win new
contracts and expand upon existing relationships. Overall markets are
challenging currently, nevertheless, we are confident the business remains
well placed."

Executive Chairman's Statement
Introduction
This will be my last results statement as Executive Chairman of Coral, as I
move from being Executive to Non-Executive Chairman on 2 January 2024 when
Lance Burn becomes CEO of the Group.
I am delighted Lance has agreed to take over the leadership of Coral and I
feel confident that he has the necessary skills, dynamism and market
experience to take the business forward. As these results for the six months
to 31 October 2023 show the Company is in good health and we have established
a strong base from which to achieve our aim of building a specialist UK
plastic business of scale. In the period under review, we maintained sales
despite stopping a number of lower margin contracts with the shortfall covered
by organic growth and receiving the full benefit of the Manplas and Ecodeck
acquisitions made in September and October last year. Focusing on higher
margin contracts is key to our future success and it is reflected in the
significant improvement in our gross margin.
Looking ahead, we remain cautious about the economy in general, but we are
confident that our businesses and the investment we have made will ensure we
deliver a good result for the year.
Results and Financial Position
Trading in the first half of the current year shows revenue broadly in line
with previous year despite the strategic exit of low margin activities with
circa £2.0m revenue. Reported revenue was £17,177,000 (2022: £17,587,000),
gross margins were improved to 34.8% (2022: 27.1%) resulting in a gross profit
of £5,974,000 (2022: £4,759,000). Underlying EBITDA was £2,326,000 (2022:
£1,881,000) and underlying operating profits increased to £1,697,000 (2022:
£1,376,000).
The balance sheet net asset position remains strong at £14,448,000 (2022:
£14,881,000). This represents a solid asset platform for developing the
business.
Operations
Tatra-Rotalac
A leading provider of plastic extrusion and injection moulded products for
commercial use, Tatra-Rotalac has met the Board's expectations during the
first half of the financial year. The installation of 5 new injection moulding
machines complete with robotics alongside a new in-mould labelling line has
significantly expanded the capabilities of this business. This new equipment
which has now been commissioned is expected to significantly improve our
second half performance.
Global One-Pak
A leading supplier of lotion pumps, triggers and mist sprayers, Global One-Pak
is currently experiencing logistical cost increases from Chinese suppliers.
Performing against a much-reduced sales budget and cost base, Global One Pak
has improved gross margin and operating profit. Going into the second half of
the financial year, trading is expected to improve further alongside the start
of a new contract to produce a new range caps and enclosures in the UK.
Manplas/Customised Packaging
In May 2023 the decision was taken to merge Customised Packaging into Manplas.
The two businesses operate in the same market, both provide product protection
solutions designing high quality, custom-made, vacuum-formed components to
protect a wide range of customer products. The combination of the two
businesses has created multiple operational synergies. The integration was
completed successfully and the two teams are now combining well to provide a
wider offer to their shared client base. Currently the business is installing
a new sheet extruder which is expected to be operational during the second
half of this financial year.
Film & Foil Solutions
This business, a market leading converter and stockist of flexible packaging
film, print lamination film and speciality plastics, paper and aluminium foils
has exceeded the Boards expectations during the first half of the financial
year in terms of gross margin. Film & Foil had a number of contracts which
due to customers increasing their in-house capabilities had become very low
margin. The decision was taken to cease servicing these contracts which
released some fixed cost and substantially improved gross margin for the
business as a whole. Revenues reduced in the period but the future focus is on
re-building the revenue line whilst maintaining the current gross margin.
Alma Products
This business, a niche specialist and expert in extrusion, thermoforming and
container printing serving the food industry, providing formable plastic sheet
for Form-Fill-Seal applications, thermoformed and printed plastic food
packaging. This business is very well invested in state-of-the-art sheet
extrusion, volume vacuum forming and one of the most advanced
computer-controlled printing facilities in the industry. Trading in the period
was impacted by the loss of a major contract, however, the pipeline for new
business is encouraging and the business enters the second half in a good
position.
Ecodeck and Ecotatou Spain
Ecodeck is a natural strategic fit for the group. The versatile plastic grids
Ecodeck sells, offer natural synergy with some of Coral's existing products,
including manufacturing synergies. There is also potential to leverage
Ecodeck's ecommerce platform for other group eco-friendly products. During the
first six months, Ecodeck performed well and is well placed to complete a
successful year.
The acquisition of Ecotatou SL earlier this year, gives the Group a foothold
in Spain for the sale and distribution of Ecodeck grids.
Capital Expenditure
The recently commissioned injection moulding facility is expected to improve
our second half performance. Further currently being commissioned extruders at
Manplas/CPL and Tatra Rotalac should come on stream during the final quarter
of our current financial year.
Total capital expenditure in the first 6 months totals £544,000 (2022:
£854,000) all related to new product opportunities.
Dividends
The board have declared an interim dividend of 0.50 pence per share (2022:
0.50p). The ex-dividend date and the record date for the interim dividend are
1 February 2024 and 2 February 2024 respectively. The interim dividend will be
paid on 29 February 2024. This continues to reflect our confidence in the
positive performance and profitable results of the Group.
Outlook
We are mindful of the macroeconomic and geopolitical risks yet remain
confident about the current prospects for our business and its ability to
continue its successful evolution. Our continued investment over many years in
our people and our systems has generated strong and resilient results in the
first half of this year and we believe will continue to do so.
Our continuing priority is to do all we can to keep our workplaces as safe as
possible for staff. We have planned our business to be flexible, in all areas,
to meet fluctuating levels of demand. We have robust financial controls that
will ensure we maintain our working capital requirements whilst meeting all
our agreed parameters with our financial partners and due to contracts already
negotiated all operations will remain relatively unaffected by the current
turmoil in energy prices.
The Group continues with its strategic progress of increasing focus on
value-added and innovative products. Our aim is to build a significant
specialist plastics business with a bias towards using recycled materials.
We have enjoyed a strong start to our current financial year, and we look
forward to a satisfactory outturn for the year given the prevailing
conditions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information set out in this Interim Report does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
These interim financial statements are for the six months ended 31 October
2023. They do not include all the information required for full annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 April 2023. The
Interim Report has not been reviewed by our auditor in accordance with the
International Standard on Review Engagement 2410 issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting' is not applicable to
these half year condensed consolidated financial statements and has therefore
not been applied.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated
interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023.
3. Revenue
All production is based in the United Kingdom. The geographical analysis of
revenue is shown below:

4. Taxation
The taxation charge for the six months to 31 October 2023 is based on the
effective taxation rate, which is estimated will apply to earnings for the
year ending 30 April 2024. The rate used is below the applicable UK
corporation tax rate of 25% due to the utilisation of tax losses in the
period.
5. Earnings per share
Basic and underlying earnings per ordinary share are calculated using the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial
period of 89,556,580 (31 October 2022: 87,554,854 and 30 April 2023:
87,123,068).
