Chairman's Statement

 

I am pleased to present Rosebank's first set of results since its admission in
July. The Board and the Founders are excited to return the highly successful
"Buy, Improve, Sell" model to the public markets.  With the welcome support
of our key shareholders, we were admitted to trading on AIM in July, raising
£50 million in initial capital.  We have gained a stellar register of
investors, many of whom have been investors in the Rosebank team previously.
We thank them for their support and look forward to delivering on the
opportunities we are seeking.

 

Dividend
As previously stated, until completion of a major acquisition, the Directors
do not intend to pay a dividend. Following such an acquisition the Directors
will determine an appropriate dividend policy. Consequently, the Board has
confirmed that there will be no final dividend for the period since admission.

 

Purpose, business model and strategy

Rosebank is executing its "Buy, Improve, Sell" strategy, whereby it seeks to
acquire good engineering businesses with strong market positions that would
benefit from an improvement in their performance, with a view to investing in
those businesses and empowering their management teams to unlock improvements
and drive value and performance to generate an above average return for
shareholders and ongoing benefits for wider stakeholders.  Our preference is
for businesses that are approximately $3 billion in enterprise value that are
headquartered in either the US, the UK or Northern Europe.

 

We intend to do overlapping acquisitions, seeking subsequent opportunities
once we are confident improvements are substantially underway in any existing
businesses, although we may be quicker with the second acquisition in
recognition of the additional initial bandwidth until multiple businesses are
in the Group.

 

Possible transaction

As announced earlier today, the Company is in discussions with Cerberus
Capital Management, LP. ("Cerberus"), regarding a possible transaction (the
"Transaction").

 

The potential terms of the Transaction remain confidential at this stage,
however the Company notes that the possible Transaction is in line with its
acquisition criteria and, if it proceeds, would be funded through a
combination of a fully underwritten equity issue (the "Fundraise") and new
debt facilities.  A further announcement will be made, as and when required.

 

Governance

The Board has initially established a strong corporate governance framework
appropriate to the size and nature of the Group at this time, supporting the
Board in its decision-making for the benefit of shareholders and wider
stakeholders.  Further details are set out in the Corporate Governance
Report, which confirms the Company's intention to phase implementation of the
UK Corporate Governance Code in full after it makes its first acquisition.

 

Justin Dowley

Non-Executive Chairman

CEO Review

 

Immediately after admission, our attention shifted to finding and securing an
appropriate business for our first acquisition, with the preference being
approximately $3 billion in enterprise value and headquartered in the US, the
UK or Northern Europe.  Our time in the market since then has already
confirmed our confidence that there are plenty of opportunities available for
our "Buy, Improve, Sell" model to achieve further success in our new home.
The focus remains sharply on securing the first acquisition.

 

The Company is seeking businesses with strong underlying fundamentals and
robust competitive positioning, but with scope for improvement. Rosebank
intends to create value primarily through eliminating unnecessary corporate
overheads; changing the focus of management teams and incentivising those
management teams well; driving sustainable improvement; focusing on
profitability and cash generation; and reinvesting heavily to drive long-term
performance. We look forward to delivering this both for our shareholders and
the businesses we acquire.

 

Outlook

The Board is very excited about the opportunities for Rosebank and look
forward to creating shareholder value in the years to come.

Finance Directors Review

 

The statutory results of the Group for the seven month period ended 31
December 2024 show an operating loss of £9.5 million and a loss before tax of
£8.6 million. The adjusted results for the Group, shown on the face of the
Income Statement are adjusted to exclude certain items which are significant
in size or volatility or by nature are non-trading or non-recurring. It is the
Group's accounting policy to exclude these items from the adjusted results,
which are used as an Alternative Performance Measure ("APM") as described by
the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA"). APMs used by the Group
are defined in the glossary to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Despite the Group being in a pre-acquisition phase, the Rosebank Board has
consistently applied the classification and presentation of adjusting items in
this initial reporting period. The adjusted results are considered to be an
important measure used to monitor how the businesses are performing as they
present a consistent and comparable set of results between different reporting
periods.

The adjusted results for the period ended 31 December 2024 show an operating
loss of £1.6 million and a loss after tax of £0.7 million. Given the Group
structure during the period all results relate to Corporate costs and there
are no other reporting segments.

Reconciliation of statutory results to adjusted results

The following table reconciles the Group statutory operating loss to adjusted
operating loss:

 

                                             Seven month

                                             period ended

31 December

2024

£m
 Statutory operating loss                    (9.5)
 Adjusting items:
 Acquisition related costs                   4.1
 Equity-settled compensation scheme charges  3.8
 Adjustments to statutory operating loss     7.9

 Adjusted operating loss                     (1.6)

 

Adjusting items to the statutory operating loss include:

·    Directly attributable third party acquisition related costs of £4.1
million, including such costs incurred during acquisition processes that did
not complete. These are excluded from adjusted results due to their size and
non-trading nature.

·    The charge for the Rosebank equity-settled compensation schemes of
£3.8 million, which includes a charge related to employer's tax payable of
£0.2 million. This is excluded from adjusted results due to its size and
volatility. The shares that would be issued, based on the scheme's current
valuation at the end of the year, are included in the calculation of the
adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Finance costs and income

The finance income in the statutory IFRS results for the period ended 31
December 2024 was £0.9 million, which included interest on bank balances and
deposits held in short term money market funds.

 

Tax

The tax charge shown in the statutory results on a statutory loss before tax
of £8.6 million is £nil. A tax credit was not recognised as it was
determined there are not currently sufficient future profits anticipated to
recover any deferred tax asset for unused losses.

 

Cash management

On admission to AIM, seed capital proceeds of £50.0 million were raised by
the Group, and after paying £1.1 million in associated costs of raising
capital, £0.2 million of acquisition related costs, along with a free cash
outflow in the period of £0.6 million, the Group held a cash balance of
£48.1 million at 31 December 2024.

 

An analysis of free cash flow in the period is shown in the table below:

 

                               Seven month

                               period ended

31 December

2024

£m
 Adjusted operating loss       (1.6)
 Working capital movements     0.3
 Adjusted operating cash flow  (1.3)
 Interest                      0.7
 Free cash flow                (0.6)

 

Free cash flow for the Group in the seven month period ended 31 December 2024
was an outflow of £0.6 million, which included an adjusted operating cash
outflow of £1.3 million, primarily related to Head office activities,
partially offset by interest received in the period of £0.7 million.

 

Financial risk management

A risk management and internal controls framework is in place for the Group
which is reflective of the Group's current size, as it seeks its initial
acquisition.  The most significant financial risk for the Group is currently
considered to be liquidity. The Group holds £48.1 million of cash at 31
December 2024 and therefore has sufficient headroom to minimise any liquidity
risk. The cash balances are spread between two bank accounts and a top-tier
rated money market fund, diversifying counterparty risk.

 

Going Concern

As part of their consideration of going concern, the Directors have reviewed
the Group's future cash forecasts. Considering the Group's current cash
position, the Directors consider it appropriate that the Group can manage its
business risks successfully and adopt a going concern basis in preparing these
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1.   Corporate information

The financial information included within this Preliminary Announcement does
not constitute the statutory accounts of Rosebank Industries plc ("the
Company") for the seven month period ended 31 December 2024 but is derived
from those accounts. Statutory accounts for the seven month period ended 31
December 2024 will be delivered in due course to the registrar of companies
with the Jersey Financial Statements Commission ("JSFC"). The auditor has
reported on those Financial Statements; their reports were unqualified, did
not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a
statement under section 113B (3) or (6) of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

Whilst the financial information included in this Preliminary Announcement has
been prepared on the basis of the requirements of International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB ("IFRS"), this announcement does not
itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS. The Company expects
to publish full Financial Statements that comply with IFRS during April 2025.

Rosebank Industries plc is a public listed group incorporated in Jersey. The
Group's shares are traded on AIM. The Group is required under AIM rule 19 to
provide shareholders with audited consolidated financial statements. The Group
is not required to present parent company information.

The registered office address of Rosebank Industries plc is 26 New Street, St
Helier, Jersey JE2 3RA.

Corporate structure

Capital structure

On 11 July 2024 the shares of the Company were admitted to trading on AIM, a
market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc. In addition to the 2 shares
issued at incorporation on 31 May 2024, the Company allotted a further
19,999,998 ordinary shares of nil par value at 250 pence each, which resulted
in a placed share capital balance of £48.9 million, being proceeds received
of £50.0 million, net of associated costs of £1.1 million.

Going concern

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis as the Directors consider that adequate resources exist for the Company
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Following
receipt of initial seed capital proceeds of £50.0 million in July 2024, the
Group retains £48.1 million classified within cash and cash equivalents as at
31 December 2024, which provides significant funding for the ongoing Head
office costs as well as costs related to its search for a suitable
acquisition.

The Group's liquidity and funding arrangements are described in the Finance
Director's Review.

 

2.   Alternative performance measures

The Group presents Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") in addition to
the statutory results of the Group. These are presented in accordance with the
Guidelines on APMs issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority
("ESMA").

APMs used by the Group are set out in the glossary to this Preliminary
Announcement and the reconciling items between statutory and adjusted results
are listed below and described in more detail in note 3.

Adjusted profit measures exclude items which are significant in size or
volatility or by nature are non-trading or non-recurring.

On this basis, the following are the principal items included within adjusting
items impacting operating profit and profit before tax:

·      Acquisition and disposal related gains and losses including such
costs incurred during acquisition and disposal processes that do not
materialise; and

·      The charge for the Rosebank equity-settled compensation scheme,
including its associated employer's tax charge.

In addition to the items above, adjusting items impacting profit after tax
include:

·      The tax effects of adjustments to profit before tax.

The Board considers the adjusted results to be an important measure used to
monitor how the businesses are performing as this provides a meaningful
reflection of how the businesses are managed and measured on a day-to-day
basis. As the size and complexity of the Group increases, these measures are
intended to achieve consistency and comparability between future reporting
periods. For the seven month period ended 31 December 2024, the Board has used
the adjusted measures to monitor the underlying cost base of the Group as it
establishes its Head office operations.

The adjusted measures are also in alignment with performance measures used by
certain external stakeholders.

Adjusted profit is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be comparable
with similarly titled profit measures reported by other companies. It is not
intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. All APMs
relate to the current period results.

3.             Reconciliation of adjusted profit measures

As described in note 2, adjusted profit measures are an alternative
performance measure used by the Board to monitor the operating performance of
the Group.

Share Scheme of £3.8 million, which includes a charge to the accrual for
employer's tax payable of £0.2 million, is excluded from adjusted results

current value of both schemes at the end of the reporting period, are included
in the calculation of the adjusted diluted earnings per share.

b.   An acquisition and disposal related charge of £4.1 million arose in
the period which relates to costs incurred in respect of acquisition
processes. These are shown as adjusting items due to their size and

Glossary

 

Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs")

In accordance with the Guidelines on APMs issued by the European Securities
and Markets Authority ("ESMA"), additional information is provided on the APMs
used by the Group below.

In the reporting of financial information, the Group uses certain measures
that are not required under IFRS. These additional measures (commonly referred
to as APMs) provide additional information on the performance of the business
and trends to stakeholders. The Board considers the adjusted results to be an
important measure used to monitor how the businesses are performing as this
provides a meaningful reflection of how the businesses are managed and
measured on a day-to-day basis. As the size and complexity of the Group
increases, these measures are intended to achieve consistency and
comparability between future reporting periods. For the seven month period
ended 31 December 2024, the Board has used the adjusted measures to monitor
the underlying cost base of the Group as it establishes its Head office
operations.

These APMs may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures
reported by other companies and they are not intended to be a substitute for,
or superior to, IFRS measures. All Income Statement and cash flow measures are
provided for continuing operations.

 measured on a day-to-day basis and provides consistency and comparability
 between reporting periods.
