Results for the 52 weeks ended 29th April, 2017

Chairman's Statement

Results and Review

It has been a period of solid growth across much of the Group coupled with important and significant new investment to ensure we continue to take full advantage of future opportunities.

Revenue has increased across three of the Group's four divisions and it would have been all four had it not been for the rescheduling of a delivery, for a long standing international defence customer, into our 2017/18 financial year. Even so, overall revenue was up an impressive 9.2% at 53.82m for the year ended 29th April 2017 (2016 - 49.28m).

Investment across the divisions was considerable and wide ranging, reflecting our determination and commitment to optimise their future potential. This increased investment nevertheless impacted short term returns and profit before taxation amounted to 1.53m (2016 - 1.68m). Earnings per share were 9.1p (2016 - 9.6p).

The balance sheet is strong and at the year-end had net cash amounting to 15.21m (2016 - 12.76m).

'Defence division' markets generally remained testing, reflecting the many constraints placed on global defence ministries which are faced with numerous, diverse threats and yet often only have limited resources to support military procurement programmes. Hence, although programmes may be approved and planning initiated, thereafter they frequently become delayed; postponed or at worst, even cancelled. Despite such unpredictability, it is important that we continue to invest in extensive new product development as well as essential international marketing campaigns, as we seek to match the ever-changing requirements and expectations of the international market.

'Forgings division' lifted revenue by 6% as a result of strong growth in the United States and a good measure of recovery in our Brazilian operations. European markets serviced from our UK facility, remained relatively constant but were, as a result, highly competitive. The very recent production 'start-up phase' of our new superb and substantial fork-arm manufacturing property in South Carolina - a notable investment - is in process. Whilst there is still much to do and costs to complete, the facility will provide a significant capability to meet the opportunities of a changing market place.

'Petrol Station Superstructures division' produced an impressive performance, lifting revenue by some 26% over last year. Pleasingly, the number of petrol stations operating in the UK increased in 2016, the first upturn in several decades. Demand for new station builds, upgrades, plus repairs and maintenance work created a strong market for 'Global-MSI'. Clearly, we are also benefiting from having added the complimentary capabilities of station branding via 'Petrol Sign' to that of our established design, manufacture and construction of canopies and convenience stores. Our broader offering has enabled the division's marketing operations to gain added impetus. Elsewhere, in a response to a lean market for new petrol stations in Eastern Europe, our Polish operation successfully expanded into other markets and completed new station builds in twelve other countries around the world in addition to its native Poland.

'Petrol Station Branding division,' with operations in the Netherlands; Germany and the UK are all making progress. Towards the end of the period, we were at last able to commence initial work on an extensive programme to rebrand the estate of a major petrol station client in Germany. The Netherlands' operation continues to support the initiation of the German programme and the UK business also in its first year of operation, successfully winning business independently and also when teaming-up with the 'Petrol Station Superstructures Division', for those clients requiring a 'one-stop' turn-key service.

Outlook

We believe that the Group is in excellent shape and well positioned to achieve further progress following the considerable investment made across the various businesses. The order book is at a higher level than at this time last year; in particular there is a good level of orders in hand for both established and recently developed defence products. The new fork-arm facility in the United States has commenced some initial production and the prospects for our two divisions that service the petrol station market, look most promising.

All matters considered the Board recommends the payment of a maintained final dividend of 6.5p per share (2016 - 6.5p), making the total for the year of 8p (2016 - 8p). The final dividend is expected to be paid on 24th July 2017 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 23rd June 2017.

The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the periods ended 29th April, 2017 or 30th April, 2016 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and those for 2017 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General Meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their reports were unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Segment information








































The following table presents revenue and profit and certain assets and liability information regarding the Group's divisions for the periods ended 29th April, 2017 and 30th April, 2016. The reporting format is determined by the differences in manufacture and services provided by the Group. The Defence division is engaged in the design, manufacture and service of defence equipment. The Forgings division is engaged in the manufacture of forgings. The Petrol Station Superstructures division is engaged in the design, manufacture, construction, branding, maintenance and restyling of petrol station superstructures. The Petrol Station Branding division is engaged in the design and installation of the complete appearance of petrol stations.
























Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance costs and finance revenue) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
