About Fairview International PLC

 

Fairview owns and operates two private independent schools in Malaysia that
offer the International Baccalaureate programme. One of these schools is
located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the other is located in
the southern state of Johor close to the border with Singapore.  These
schools trade under the Fairview brand which was founded in 1978, and were
subsequently acquired by Agodeus Sdn Bhd, a company owned by the Chian family,
in 2012.

 

There are three other schools in Malaysia and one in the United Kingdom that
also trade under the Fairview brand, which are under common control but
outside of the Company's group.  All schools in the Fairview network are
individually recognised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation as
fully accredited to offer the IB programme across the primary and middle
years; ages 5 to 16, with Fairview Kuala Lumpur also offering the diploma
programme for 16 to 19 year olds.  Each of the schools not owned by the
Company use the Fairview brand under licence from the Company accessing the
resources of the Fairview Network.

 

The school in Kuala Lumpur is the largest and flagship school that uses the
Fairview brand, whilst the school in Johor focuses on the expatriate market in
Singapore and so is internationally focused.

 

The Company plans to acquire more schools which can offer international
education including the International Baccalaureate programmes both in Asia
and the UK.  The Company in particular believes there is an opportunity to
acquire underperforming private independent schools in the UK and adapt its
product offering to be authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate
programme.  With a rise in popularity of the International Baccalaureate
programme in both the independent and state sector in the UK, with a growing
acceptance of International Baccalaureate graduates by UK universities, the
Directors believe that the Company's and Fairview Network schools will appeal
particularly to the ASEAN, Mainland China and Hong Kong market; particularly
families looking for an educational foundation in the UK prior to studying at
a UK university.

Interim results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2024

 

Chairman's report

 

I am pleased to present our inaugural interim results since joining the London
Stock Exchange last October.

 

One of our most significant KPIs is student numbers.  The mid-year typically
sees a seasonal decline, often due to expatriate job relocation at the
calendar year end, and 2024 was no exception.  We entered 2025 with 710
students enrolled across our two schools.  However, this needs to be seen in
the context of the 31 enrolments and applications already received for the
coming year, representing a further 4.4 per cent. improvement with, we expect,
more to come as the new academic year approaches.

 

As I outlined in our operations and strategic update on 17 January 2025, this
early success in forthcoming enrolments and applications is particularly
pleasing given the increased resources we have put into marketing our schools
since our IPO.  These initiatives are already bearing fruit.

 

Both of Fairview's schools have the ability to take on greater numbers of
students, with overall capacities of 1,500 and 750 in Kuala Lumpur and Johor
Bharu respectively.  With the Group therefore only operating at around one
third of its maximum capacity, but nevertheless trading profitably, the
economies of scale that exist within our business model will be apparent to
our shareholders and underpins our plans for organic expansion.

 

Despite the seasonal impact on student numbers, we were nevertheless able to
increase revenues for the period by 4.8 per cent. to GBP2.78 million (2023:
£2.66 million) by successfully implementing a 7 per cent. increase in average
fees.  We are mindful that Fairview offers very competitive education costs
alongside delivering a leading International Baccalaureate curriculum and this
competitive pricing model does provide us with opportunities to effect
increases in school fees in future financial years in line with cost
increases.  Other international schools may not have that flexibility.  It
is well publicised in the United Kingdom for example that schools are needing
to cut costs to balance the VAT and National Insurance burdens imposed on
them.  Eventually cost cuts reach the school's facilities thereby,
potentially, impacting what they can deliver to their students.  Fairview, in
contrast, is less impacted by such restrictions.

 

The success of our marketing programme naturally comes with an expense, and
the increase in our cost of sales in the period has been largely driven by the
additional travelling of our team to events both within and beyond Malaysia as
they seek to meet new families.  Our schools are also supporting 28 students
on scholarships amounting to approximately £77,000 during the period and a
further 23 students who received an academic distinction award. The effect of
this added to our financial assistance costs which we reflect in our gross
profit calculation.

 

By their nature, schools have a long-term relationship with their customers -
namely families - and it has always been Fairview's policy to support and
reward our students.  We are confident that these gestures are repaid both
through the ongoing loyalty of our customer base and the reputation this
affords us in the communities that we serve.

 

The combination of these higher costs reduced our gross margin in the period
to 50.3 per cent. (2023: 54.2 per cent.) but we anticipate a recovery in
future periods as our marketing programme continues to deliver higher student
numbers.

 

It is inevitable that this period's accounts would reflect the IPO and the
impact on our bottom line was mainly due to non-recurring administrative
expenses amounting to £609,544 in the period to 31 December 2024 relating to
the Company's IPO on 11 October 2024.  In addition, one of the other
companies in the Fairview Network partially repaid loans in June 2024 as part
of the pre-IPO restructuring that we carried out. As a consequence, interest
received in the period was around a third of the corresponding period ended 31
December 2023 amounting to £126,000 (2023: £335,000).  This is reflected in
the reduction in other operating income. Outside of these one-off
transactional costs, the Board continues to manage its budget tightly and the
Company benefits from resource sharing within the Fairview network.

 

We have presented our interim results on the basis of merger accounting with
our two subsidiary companies, Fairview Schools Berhad and Fairview
International School Nusajaya Sdn Bhd which operated our schools in Kuala
Lumpur and Johor Bharu respectively, joining the group on 1 July 2024.

 

Returning to how I began this review, the Company achieved a significant
milestone during the period with its shares being successfully admitted to the
London Stock Exchange's Main Market and commencing trading on 11 October 2024.
We are one of very few companies from Malaysia to achieve this feat and,
likewise, one of very few international school businesses to be quoted on a
global stock exchange.  The exposure that this gives us, as well as the
validation of the quality of our management, should not be underestimated and
we expect in time this distinction will continue to attract families to our
schools.

 

As I explained in our operations and strategic update on 17 January 2025,
since completing our IPO, we have continued to assess opportunities to expand
our business, examining both acquisitions and new builds applying the criteria
of economic growth, demand for quality education and sustainability in their
assessments.  As well as South-East Asia, and Asia generally, which holds a
number of attractions given the rising demand for international education, the
United Kingdom remains a core focus for us, reflecting both the positive
attitudes of Asian families to a British education and the growing interest in
the IB curriculum.  The recent VAT and National Insurance changes on
independent schools is, as expected, producing numerous opportunities as
schools experience falling demand and higher costs in the new tax regime.
As I explained above, Fairview's cost-effective model and resource sharing
capabilities provides the resilience and growth potential to take advantage of
these opportunities.

 

The corporation tax rate in Malaysia is 24 per cent. with final tax
liabilities usually being determined in the financial year following
completion of the final tax return and audit.  This can result in the
effective tax rate for the period differing from the headline rate.  This is
the case in the period under review in which our one-off IPO costs have
reduced profits creating an apparently higher tax rate in the profit and loss
account.  This is not reflective of future periods.

 

Cash balances as at 31 December 2024 were £1.05 million (2023: £0.94
million). Currency movements, IPO non -recurring transactional costs and the
Group reorganisation that was undertaken ahead of the IPO account for the most
significant cash movements during the period, none of which reflect the
underlying trading performance.  The Company contributed £100,000 to
increase the paid up share capital in the Johor Bahru campus in compliance
with the Ministry of Education's requirements for foreign ownership.

 

The principal risks and uncertainties associated with the business and
operations of Fairview are set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 4
October 2024. The Directors believe that these risks and uncertainties remain
relevant to the business at the time of finalising these accounts for the six
months ended 31 December 2024.  A copy of this prospectus is available on the
Company's website at www.fairviewplc.uk (http://www.fairviewplc.uk) .

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2024

 

1.    Basis of Preparation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements of Fairview International PLC
(the "Company") are unaudited condensed financial statements for the six
months ended 31 December 2024. These include unaudited comparatives for the
six months ended 31 December 2023, and the unaudited results for the year
ended 30 June 2024 which did not require a statutory audit. These interim
condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of merger
accounting  and applying  accounting policies expected to apply for the
financial year to 30 June 2025 based on the recognition and measurement
principles of United Kingdom adopted International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006,
applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention. The Group's presentation and functional currency is Sterling (£).
The interim financial statements do not include all of the information
required for full annual financial statements and do not comply with all the
disclosures in IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' Accordingly, whilst the
interim statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, they cannot be
construed as being in full compliance with IFRS. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with United Kingdom adopted International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The accounting policies
adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's
annual financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries for the year ended
31 December 2023.
