REG - Goodwin PLC - Final Results <Origin Href="QuoteRef">GDWN.L</Origin>
RNS Number : 9651TGoodwin PLC24 July 2015PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Goodwin PLC today announces its preliminary results for the year ended 30th April 2015.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report that the pre-tax profit for the Group for the twelve month period ending 30th April 2015 was 20.1 million (2014: 24.1 million), a decrease of 16.6% on revenue of 127.0 million, 2.9% lower than last year. The Directors propose an unchanged ordinary dividend of 42.348p.
The gross profit earned of 41 million was lower by 7.9% than for the previous financial year. This deterioration in gross profit and pre-tax profit earned stems from the oil and gas engineering market sector, with order placing activity having substantially contracted in the first quarter of the financial year which resulted in the first quarter order input being 32% down on the same period in the previous year. This situation had, however, progressively recovered by the close of the year such that the order input for the full twelve months was only 19% down as compared to the previous financial year. This lower level of available orders has also resulted in higher level of competition which has and will impact on our gross margins and pre-tax profits.
The Group order workload as at 30th April 2015 was 22% lower than twelve months earlier and stood at 79 million. This level of workload increased in the first two months of the new financial year such that as at the time of writing this report there is a possibility that the performance in this new financial year will not be as bad as feared.
Whilst the profitability in the mechanical engineering division reduced by 15% last year, this was mitigated by a 37% increase in profits of the refractory engineering division in which we expect to see continued growth in the new financial year. The Group increased its diversity in trading regions and markets with 80% (78.8% in 2014) of sales turnover exported to 81 countries. 45% (2014: 50%) is oil and gas market related.
The strategy of creating value for shareholders through emphasis on sustainability and continually introducing new innovative reliable cost effective engineered products needed by growth markets is demonstrated in that in the last two financial years the company has registered / applied for five patents in 16 countries. This is the highest number of patents applied for in the Group's history and is a reflection of the amount of time, effort and 3.8 million of gross investment in R&D over the past two years. These are being expedited into production and to market. It is hoped that within the next three years orders for these products will start to be received and that they will command respectable gross margins. The patents that relate to the refractory division are AVD (aqueous vermiculite dispersions) used in fire extinguishers and Micashield a fire resistant paint for wood structures and other substrates. The patents in the engineering division are for a new type of axial piston valve and a new type of nozzle check valve and Goodwin Steel Castings has been granted a patent for its new super nickel alloy, G130, developed by the foundry for use in high temperature turbine applications.
During the last financial year Goodwin PLC purchased the 20% minority interest in Gold Star Powders India and also in Goodwin Pumps India for 1.5 million and we thank our Indian partners for their help and support in developing these two overseas subsidiaries over the past twelve and ten years. Goodwin PLC also purchased the 49% minority interest in Gold Star Brazil and we thank our partners for their help and support in developing this overseas subsidiary over the past seven years.
Just prior to the financial year end Goodwin Refractory Services Ltd (GRS) signed an agreement to purchase the technology, customer list and selected other assets from a complementary French casting powder company. This purchase will also be used by the Group's eight other overseas powder manufacturing companies under licence. The product sales into Europe will be supplied from the UK by GRS. This purchase has enhanced the moulding material technology for the casting of tyre moulds and glass within our Group. The tyre mould technology has brought with it associated patent rights with exclusive worldwide rights for use in reclaimable patterns and the lost wax casting industry.
Goodwin International Ltd in the mechanical engineering division has made good progress in developing long term relationships for the machining of large components and this diversification will, we hope, last well into the next decade. Some of the recent machines installed are the latest and most efficient of their type and have orders with workloads allocated for the next two years. This, backed by our engineering apprentice programme, adds to the Group's long term viability.
Credit insurance policy wordings are being reviewed for effective political risk cover. Last year risks overviewed by the Audit Committee covered insurance policy wordings, asset valuations, bank facility management and IT security. This year work is on going for data security classification, succession planning, conduct with integrity, and mobile device security. Progress continues.
The Group's net cash generated from operating activities prior to investments amounted to 18 million and the Group's gearing at the year end was 12.3% (5.6% 2014).
Shareholders' equity has risen from 73.6 million to 82.7 million and, although some markets will remain difficult over the next one or two years, the Board believes investments made and sanctioned will in due course enable the Group to continue with its track record of growth. Key performance indicators and ratios may be found at www.goodwin.co.uk/2015.
We take the opportunity of thanking the employees and the Directors both in our UK and overseas companies for the hard work put in to achieve these Group results.

Chairman
OBJECTIVES, STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL
The Group's main OBJECTIVE is to have a sustainable long term engineering based business with good potential for profitable growth while providing a fair return to our shareholders.
The Board'sSTRATEGY to achieve this is:
to supply a range of technically advanced products to growth markets in the mechanical engineering and refractory engineering segments in which we have built up a global reputation for engineering excellence, quality, efficiency, reliability, price and delivery;
to manufacture advanced technical productsprofitably, efficiently, and economically;
to maintain an ongoing programme of investment in plant, facilities, sales and marketing, research and development with a view to increasing efficiency, reducing costs, increasing performance, delivering better products for our customers, expanding our global customer base and keeping us at the forefront of technology within our markets;
to control our working capital and investment programme to ensure a safe level of gearing;
to maintain a strong capital base to retain investor, customer, creditor and market confidence and so help sustain future development of the business;
to support a local presence and a local workforce in order to stay close to our customers;
to invest in training and development of skills for the Group's future.
BUSINESS MODEL
The Group's focus is on manufacturing within two sectors; mechanical engineering and refractory engineering and through this division of our manufacturing activities, the Group benefits from market diversity. Further details of our business and products are shown on our website www.goodwin.co.uk/2015.
Mechanical Engineering
The Group produces a wide range of dual plate and axial nozzle check valves to serve the oil, petrochemical, gas, LNG and water markets. We create value by globally sourcing the best quality raw material at good prices, manufacturing in highly efficient facilities using up to date technology to provide the very reliable products to the required specification, at competitive prices and with timely deliveries.
Our mechanical engineering markets also include high alloy castings, machining and general engineering products which typically form part of large construction projects such as power generation plants, oil refineries, high integrity offshore structural components and bridges. The Group through its foundry and CNC machine shop has the capability to pour the castings, radiograph and also finish them in-house. This capability is also targeting the defence industry.
Goodwin International, the largest company in the Mechanical Engineering Division, designs and manufactures dual plate and axial nozzle valves and also undertakes specialised CNC machining and fabrication work. Noreva GmbH also designs and manufactures axial nozzle valves. Both Goodwin International and Noreva purchase the majority of their sand mould castings from Goodwin Steel Castings and this vertical integration gives rise to competitive benefits, increased efficiencies, and timely deliveries.
At Goodwin Pumps India we manufacture a superior range of submersible slurry pumps for end users in India, China, Brazil and Africa. Easat Antennas designs and builds bespoke high-performance radar antennas to the global market of major defence contractors, civil aviation authorities and border security agencies. We create value on these by innovative design and assembly in our own facilities using bought in or engineered in-house components.
Refractory Engineering
Within the Refractory Engineering Division, Goodwin Refractory Services, (GRS), creates value by developing, manufacturing and selling investment casting powders, waxes, silicone rubber and machinery for use in the following operations: jewellery casting, aerospace, tyre moulding and the compressor wheels for turbochargers. The Division has eight other investment casting powder companies around the world that carry out the same activities as GRS, located in China, India, Thailand and Brazil. These nine companies are vertically integrated with another of our UK refractory companies, Hoben International, which manufactures cristobalite that it sells to the nine group jewellery casting manufacturing companies, as well as producing ground silica which also goes into casting powders.
The other UK refractory company is Dupr Minerals which focuses on producing exfoliated vermiculite that is used in insulation, brake linings and fire protection products including textiles that can withstand high temperatures. Dupr also sells consumables to the shell moulding casting industry.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group's operations expose it to a variety of risks and uncertainties, the principal ones being as follows. These risks are no different to previous years, and they are not expected to change substantially in the foreseeable future.
Market risk: The Group provides a range of products and services, and there is a risk that the demand for these products and services will vary from time to time because of competitor action or economic cycles or international trade friction or even wars. The Group operates across a range of geographical regions, and its turnover is split across the UK, Europe, USA, the Pacific Basin and the rest of the world. This spread reduces risk in any one territory. Similarly, the Group operates in both mechanical engineering and refractory engineering sectors, mitigating the risk of a downturn in any one product area. The potential risk of the loss of any key customer is limited as, typically, no single customer accounts for more than 10% of turnover. As described in the Business Model, the Group generates significant sales from the worldwide energy markets. Whilst these markets may suffer short term short declines, over the medium to long term the growing worldwide demand for energy will ensure these markets remain buoyant.
Technical risk: The Group develops and launches new products as part of its strategy to enhance the long term value of the Group. Such development projects carry business risks, including reputational risk, abortive expenditure and potential customer claims which may have a material impact on the Group. The potential risk here is seen as manageable given the Group is developing products in areas in which it is knowledgeable and new products are tested prior to their release into the market.
Product failure/Contractual risk: The risks that the Group supplies products that fail or are not manufactured to specification are risks that all manufacturing companies are exposed to but we try to minimise these risks through the use of highly skilled personnel operating within robust quality control system environments using third party accreditations where appropriate. With regard to the risk of failure in relation to new products coming on line, the additional risks here are minimised at the R&D stage, where prototype testing and the deployment of a robust closed loop product performance quality control system provides feed back to the design department for the products we manufacture and sell. The risk of not meeting safety expectations, or causing significant adverse impacts to customers or the environment is countered by the combination of the controls mentioned within this section. The risk of product obsolescence is countered by R&D investment.
Health and safety: The Group's operations involve the typical health and safety hazards inherent in manufacturing and business operations. The Group is subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to health and safety around the world. Hazards are managed by carrying out risk assessments and introducing appropriate controls, as well as attending safety training courses.
Acquisitions: The Group's growth plan over recent years has included a number of acquisitions. There is the risk that these, or future acquisitions, fail to provide the planned value. This risk is mitigated through financial and technical due diligence during the acquisition process and the Group's inherent knowledge of the markets they operate in.
Financial risk: The principal financial risks faced by the Group are changes in market prices (interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices). Detailed information on the financial risk management objectives and policies is set out in note 20 to the financial statements to be published shortly. The Group has in place risk management policies that seek to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group by using various instruments and techniques, including credit insurance, stage payments, forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.
Regulatory compliance: The Group's operations are subject to a wide range of laws and regulations. Both within Goodwin PLC and its subsidiaries, the Directors and Senior Managers within the companies make best endeavours to comply with the relevant laws and regulations.
Forward Looking Statements
The Strategic Report contains forward-looking type statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, financial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. Many of these factors are outside the Group's control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
Responsibility statements of the Directors in respect of the annual financial report
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
The financial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and
The Strategic Report and the Directors' Reports include a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.
