GOODWIN PLC
 
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the half year ended 31st October 2021
 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
 
The pre-tax profit for the Group for the first six month period ending 31st
October 2021 was £7.7 million (2020: £5.8 million) on a revenue of £69
million.
At the half year the Group's workload remains steady at £156 million and does
not yet contain some of the major projects that the Mechanical Engineering
Division has confidently been pursuing within the military, nuclear waste
re-processing and surveillance markets.
The Refractory Engineering Division has delivered a strong performance and its
activity continues to travel on an upward trajectory, delivering like-for-like
sales growth of 40%.  With the recent acquisitions now generating revenue;
our end user markets growing; our research and development investment
programmes in the fire protection and construction products now gaining
traction in their respective markets, the Division currently represents 40% of
the Group's revenue.  The Division's focus on price increases, global
sourcing, network capabilities and operational footprint has enabled it to
date to manage the price pressures and supply chain disruptions.
The Mechanical Engineering Division has experienced low levels of activity due
to customer approval delays on documentation for cast and machined products
going into complex stakeholder environments. This, coupled with navigating
supply availability and increased energy costs (with there being a time lag
before such costs can be passed on to the end users), has impacted both sales
and profitability in the first six months of the year. We now have in place
fixed price energy contracts that go out until June 2023 that will remove the
extreme spikes in energy prices that were seen in September 2021.  A
pragmatic approach has also been taken to highlight and reduce the amount of
red tape and address the increased costs of production that will enable
efficient production, moving forward, of orders in hand.
The Group's net debt stands at £34.8 million (31st October 2020: £31.1
million) with a relatively moderate level of gearing of 31.7%.  During the
six month period just completed, the Group's cash generation has been reduced
by the requirement of additional working capital as new projects start to ramp
up.  Furthermore, the Group has proceeded as planned with its investment
programme that is spread across both Divisions, including projects that will
reduce its carbon footprint and its reliance on the energy markets, details of
which will be released in the next Annual Report.

Alternative performance measures mentioned above are defined in note 34 on
page 84 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2021.
2021/22 Outlook
Even with the expectation of an increased order input over the next six
months, we expect the second half year pre-tax profits of this financial year
to be possibly slightly better than the first half and for the benefit of
increased activity and profitability to be realised over the next eighteen
months.
This improvement is a feature of the strategic transformation of the foundry
and its progress in creating an efficient environment to deliver high volume,
high quality products for nuclear waste and cast naval components for its new
customer base following the decline of its traditional oil and gas business.
Furthermore, whilst we continue to experience inflationary pressures, the
offsetting benefit of increased selling prices will be recognised within the
next financial year.
The momentum within the Refractory Engineering Division shows no signs of
slowing and the Group's eight companies supplying consumables to the jewellery
casting, fire protection and construction sectors are well placed moving
forward to continue to deliver strong results subject to raw material
availability and consumer demand.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Group, mainly through its centralised management structure, makes best
endeavours to have in place internal control procedures to identify and manage
the key risks and uncertainties affecting the Group. We would refer you to
pages 12 to 13 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2021 which describe
the principal risks and uncertainties, and to note 26 (starting on page 73)
which describes in detail the key financial risks and uncertainties affecting
the business such as credit risk and foreign exchange risk.
Judging the future relationship of the major currency pairs of the US Dollar,
Sterling and the Euro continues to be a challenge.
The Group (see page 76 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2021) has
mitigated the impact of rising interest rates by fixing the effective base
rate at less than 1% for a notional £30 million of debt for the next ten
years.
Report on Expected Developments
This report describes the expected developments of the Group during the year
ended 30th April 2022. The report may contain forward-looking 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.
Going concern
The Group once again continues to trade profitably and with the current order
book level we are confident that this will continue and improve, especially as
we move in to the next financial year. Whereas many companies have struggled
with the impacts of Covid-19, the Group has remained open to carry on with its
value added activities.  As in previous periods, the levels of depreciation
and amortisation (both non cash items) remain significant thus masking the
true cash generating capability of the Group.  As at 31st October 2021, the
Group net debt stood at £34.8 million (31st Oct 2020 £31.1 million) as set
out in note 10 to these accounts.  Whilst the net debt levels are higher than
those recorded as at April 2021 and October 2020 the gearing level at 31.7% is
still modest and the Board considers that the banking headroom (facilities
versus utilisation) is acceptable. Given the foregoing, the Directors do not
see an issue with the continued ability of the Group to meet its financial
commitments and so have drawn up these accounts on a going concern basis.
 
Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the half-yearly
financial report
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that 1) this condensed
set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the
United Kingdom and that 2) the Interim Management Report and condensed
financial statements include a fair review of the information required by
Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R (being an indication of important
events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year
and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six
months of the year) and 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have
taken place in the first six months of the financial year and that have
materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during
that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in
the last Annual Report that could do so).

Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1.         Reporting entity
Goodwin PLC (the "Company") is a company incorporated in England and Wales.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company as at and for the six months ended 31st October 2021 comprise the
Company, its subsidiaries, and the Group's interests in associates (together
referred to as the "Group").
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the
year ended 30th April 2021 are available upon request from the Company's
registered office at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR or via
the Company's web site:  www.goodwin.co.uk.
 
2.         Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted in
the United Kingdom.  They do not include all of the information required for
full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year
ended 30th April 2021.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th April 2021 are
extracts and not the full Group's statutory accounts for that financial year.
Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered
to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified,
(ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did
not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Audit Committee has reviewed these unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements and has advised the Board of Directors that,
taken as a whole, they are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the
information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's half year
performance.  These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 15th December 2021.
3.         Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group
in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
30th April 2021. The changes in accounting policies are to be reflected in the
Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 30th
April 2022.
The following amendments became effective and therefore were adopted by the
Group.
·      Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9,
IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS4 and IFRS 16)
The above amendments have not had a material impact on profit, earnings per
share and net assets.
New IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted
The IASB and IFRIC have issued additional standards and amendments which are
effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements.
The following amendments have not yet been adopted by the Group:
· Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment: proceeds before
intended use (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January
2022)
The Group does not expect the above amendments to have a material impact on
profit, earnings per share and net assets in future periods.
4.         Accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expense.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those
that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for
the year ended 30th April 2021.
The tax charge in the period is based on management's estimate of the weighted
average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to
the pre-tax income of the interim period, and the impact of any disallowed
costs.
5.         Operating Segments
Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", the
Group's reportable segments, based on information reported to the Group's
Board of Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of
segment performance, are as follows:
•              Mechanical Engineering      - casting,
machining, pumps, surveillance and general engineering
•              Refractory Engineering        - jewellery
investment casting powder and mineral processing
Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported in the
following tables.

The forward exchange and interest rate SWAP contract assets and liabilities
fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as defined by
IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below.
IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value
be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair
value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:  Level 1
- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3 - inputs for the
asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
