* Oeneo's consolidated statements for financial year 2017-2018** ending 31 March 2018 were approved by its Board of Directors on 11 June 2018. Natural and composite/disk closures production for the Closures division, which are currently in the process of being sold, have been reclassified as Assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, and have been consolidated under Net profit/(loss) from discontinued operations. The financial statements for 2016-2017 have been adjusted for the purpose of comparison with 2017-2018.

 

Oeneo Group continues to post robust results. With growth of 7.3% in recurring operating profit, the Group reported a strong performance for financial year 2017-2018, despite a weaker economic backdrop (lowest global wine production since 1957 and a rise in the price of cork).

Annual organic growth in Group turnover amounted to 11.9% for the year, bolstered by increasing market share for the Closures division's Diam range, and underpinned by a Winemaking division which held up well, despite an 8% drop in global wine production in 2017.

The Group's recurring operating profit came in at €46.5 million (up 7.3%), resulting in a current operating margin of 18.7%. The high impact of the increase in the price of cork notwithstanding, the two divisions are nonetheless growing, boosted by sound cost control at head office.

The Group's operating profit increased 9.6%. Non-current expenses dropped by €2.8 million. Financial expenses of €2 million include an unrealized foreign exchange loss of €0.9 million. The Group's net profit after tax from continuing operations came in at €30.6 million (up 8.4%).

Certain Closures operations in the process of being sold generated a net loss of €3.9 million to reflect the decline in growth for these non-strategic operations. After accounting for this loss, Group consolidated net profit rose by a slight 0.7% to stand at €26.6 million.

Shareholders' equity rose to €229.7 million and, at €29.6 million, cash flow linked to operations more than offset the year's dividend payments and €16.5 million in net investments. Net debt was reduced to €48.5 million, representing a carefully controlled net gearing ratio of 21.1%.

Oeneo will be recommending the payment (with the option of payment in cash or in shares) of a dividend of €0.15 per share at its next Annual General Meeting.

 

Performance review by division

 

CLOSURES: Current operating margin of 20.7%

Oeneo's Closures division had an excellent year, with a 19.1% increase in turnover to €163.1 million. Growth was driven by the worldwide success of the Diam range, which saw value and volume grow by around 20%.

The division's recurring operating profit came in at €33.8 million (up 6.3%), resulting in a current operating margin of 20.7%. Growth in volumes and the careful management of yields and distribution costs made it possible to largely compensate for the impact on gross margin of the increase in the price of cork over the last year, due to exceptionally poor harvest levels. The imbalance between supply and demand for cork should gradually diminish over the course of the current year.

Economic indicators for the Closures division should remain upbeat even if turnover is expected to be more moderate due to a higher basis for comparison and the delayed effect of poor global grape production in 2017.

 

WINEMAKING: Current operating margin of 19.3 %

Recurring operating profit for Oeneo's Winemaking division increased 2.8% for a 0.4% increase in turnover. This performance brings the current operating margin to 19.3%, which is a new annual record for the division.

The optimization of operational productivity made it possible to absorb the expense of increased sales activity in response to economic and weather conditions. The Group is pursuing its efforts to manage operations upstream of the value chain more efficiently and to reduce its raw material costs. The acquisition announced at the end of May of Etablissements Cenci, a specialist in forestry and timber processing, fits perfectly with this strategy.

Drawing on a unique and comprehensive offer, Oeneo is ideally placed to take advantage of the market's potential rebound (depending on 2018 harvest production). The Group also remains alert to opportunities to bolster or complement its high value-added offer with new acquisitions for the division.

 

(**) The consolidated financial statements have been audited in full. The auditors' report will be published once the due diligence procedures required for the publication of the yearly financial report are complete.

 

Oeneo Group will publish its turnover for the first quarter of 2018-2019 on 25 July 2018 after the markets have closed
