Commentary


Rudolf Fourie, CEO of Raubex Group, said: 'The first half of the year was marked by another consistent performance from the Group under challenging industry conditions and in spite of the unplanned refinery shutdowns which affected our asphalt operations locally.

'The Materials Division continued to perform strongly during the period and through the acquisition of Belabela Quarries we established a presence from which to grow in Botswana.

'Our order book is solid and we anticipate an improved performance in the second half of the year supported by the Materials Division, a stabilised asphalt production environment and the execution of various solar projects in progress.'


Financial overview

Revenue increased 4,3% to R3,89 billion and operating profit increased 9,5% to R329,3 million from the corresponding prior period. These results were supported by another strong performance from the Group's Materials Division and Construction Division, which reported margin improvements in its Road Construction and Earthworks segment, while the Road Surfacing and Rehabilitation segment was adversely affected by a severe bitumen supply shortage due to unplanned refinery shutdowns.

Profit before tax increased 1,6% to R303,2 million (H1 2015: R298,5 million) with the effective tax rate increasing to 29,2% (H1 2015: 29,1%).

Earnings per share increased 4,3% to 108,0 cents with headline earnings per share increasing 5,3% to 107,0 cents.

Group operating margin increased to 8,5% (H1 2015: 8,1%).

Net finance costs increased to R26,0 million (H1 2015: R2,3 million) due mainly to an increase in interest-bearing borrowings and slightly lower cash balances during the period. Total non-cash finance costs amounted to R2,0 million for the period.

Cash generated from operations decreased 30,2% to R375 million (H1 2015: R537,4 million) before finance charges and taxation as a result of increased working capital requirements.

Inventories increased 2,8% to R552,7 million (H1 2015: R537,8 million).

Trade and other receivables increased by 23,9% to R1,51 billion (H1 2015: R1,22 billion) due mainly to the inclusion of purpose built plant for mining clients accounted for as receivables under finance leases and payments due from the Zambia Road Development Agency on the Link 8000 contracts. The mining rights and properties acquired from Buildmax Aggregates and Quarries (Pty) Ltd on 10 March 2015 for R37 million in cash have been accounted for as a pre-payment until consent from the Minister to transfer the licences has been granted in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act.

Construction contracts in progress increased by 11,8% to R423,4 million (H1 2015: R378,7 million) mainly due to the works on solar energy projects where billing is based on the achievement of milestones as opposed to percentage completion.

Trade and other payables decreased 5,9% to R1,24 billion (H1 2015: R1,32 billion).

Borrowings increased 45,3% to R1,07 billion (H1 2015: R739,0 million) due mainly to the financing of plant and equipment for the Tschudi copper mine project in Namibia and the Buildmax and Prodev assets acquired in the second half of the prior year.

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment increased to R278,5 million (H1 2015: R273,8 million) and is mainly related to the replacement of assets to maintain current operations.

The Group's net cash outflow for the period was R147,3 million with total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period of R789,5 million.

Materials Division

The Materials Division, which includes the Raumix operations, comprises three main disciplines including commercial quarries, contract crushing and materials handling and processing for the mining industry.

The division delivered a strong performance during the period and continues to experience favourable operating conditions in the commercial quarry operations and the material handling and processing operations. The acquisitions of Belabela Quarries during the current period and those of the prior year have all bedded down well and made positive contributions to earnings.

Revenue for the division increased 23,7% to R1,20 billion (H1 2015: R968,2 million) and operating profit increased by 35,6% to R220,3 million (H1 2015: R162,5 million).

The divisional operating profit margin increased to 18,4% (H1 2015: 16,8%).


The division incurred capital expenditure of R171,6 million during the period (H1 2015: R204,8 million).

The division has an order book of R1,72 billion (H1 2015: R1,58 billion).

Construction Division

Road surfacing and rehabilitation

This segment specialises in the manufacturing and laying of asphalt, chip and spray, surface dressing, enrichments and slurry seals and includes the operations of Tosas, a company specialising in the manufacture and distribution of value added bituminous products. In the prior period, Tosas was reported as a standalone segment and their results have now been incorporated in the Road Surfacing and Rehabilitation segment with the prior period comparative figures having been restated.

The segment has seen a healthy volume of work out on tender and despite competitive conditions in the sector, it grew its order book during the period. It is encouraging to see the increasing percentage of provincial road maintenance work in the order book.

The segment's asphalt production operations experienced a challenging period with their performance negatively affected by a severe bitumen supply shortage due to unplanned refinery shut downs as well as aggregate supply issues, both of which were resolved subsequently.

The Tosas operations continued to show improvements and the business reported a profit for the period which included the lower volume winter months. Tosas has secured a good order book for the upcoming summer months.

Revenue decreased 9,8% to R1,35 billion (H1 2015: R1,50 billion*) and operating profit decreased 55,4% to R40,2 million (H1 2015: R90,3 million*).

The segmental operating profit margin decreased to 3,0% (H1 2015: 6,0%*).


Capital expenditure of R55,8 million was incurred during the period (H1 2015: R25,4 million*).

The segment's order book stood at R2,83 billion (H1 2015: R1,91 billion*).


* Comparative period restated to include the results of Tosas.


Road construction and earthworks

This segment includes the road and civil infrastructure construction operations focused on the key areas of new road construction and heavy road rehabilitation.

The segment's margins improved during the period due to a better quality order book and the teams' continuing focus on efficient work execution. The volume of work out on tender was healthy in an operating environment that remains very competitive. The solid order book secured at the end of February 2015 allowed this segment to be more selective in its order book replacement and focus on securing work at better margins.

Revenue was flat at R778,5 million (H1 2015: R774,9 million), while operating profit increased 180,3% to R57,2 million (H1 2015: R20,4 million).

The segmental operating profit margin increased to 7,3% (H1 2015: 2,6%).


Capital expenditure of R29,4 million was incurred during the period (H1 2015: R19,0 million). The segment's order book stood at R2,74 billion (H1 2015: R3,03 billion).

Raubex Infrastructure

The infrastructure segment specialises in disciplines outside of the road construction sector, including energy (with a specific focus on renewable energy), rail, telecommunications, pipeline construction and housing infrastructure projects.

The infrastructure segment experienced a slow start to the year, due mainly to the effect of the lower commodity prices on mining clients' capital expenditure and also the timing of the execution of solar energy projects. Site establishment on secured solar work was completed towards the end of the period and this segment is expected to report a stronger second half performance as these projects are executed.

The segment has maintained its order book at current levels with a good mix of solar, water infrastructure and housing development work.

Revenue increased 15,7% to R561,0 million (H1 2015: R484,7 million) and operating profit decreased 58,2% to R11,5 million (H1 2015: R27,5 million).

The operating profit margin decreased to 2,1% (H1 2015: 5,7%).


Capital expenditure of R21,7 million was incurred during the period (H1 2015: R24,6 million).

The order book stood at R945,9 million (H1 2015: R1,02 billion).

The Group's International operations ('Africa') reported good results for the period from both the Materials and Construction Divisions. In Namibia operations include work on the upgrading of the road from Rosh Pinah to Oranjemund as well as various road maintenance contracts and material handling and processing contracts for the diamond and copper mining industries. In Botswana, Belabela Quarries reported positive results and provided the Group with a base from which it can expand and further develop its operating model in the country. Positive results were also reported from contract crushing operations in Mozambique.

In Zambia, the two link 8000 contracts progressed well during the period, although a cautious approach was assumed with regards to the pace of execution in light of the slow pace of payments received from the client (the Zambia Roads Development Agency). These contracts are still in early stages of completion with ZMW61,4 million of revenue recognised for the contracts' life to 31 August 2015. The significant depreciation of the Zambian Kwacha during September 2015 will impact the future profitability of these contracts should the Zambian Kwacha remain at current levels. The Group has had constructive engagements with the client and is in the process of negotiating measures to mitigate the exchange rate risk and support the successful completion of the contracts. These negotiations are ongoing.

International revenue increased 105,0% to R614,3 million (H1 2015: R299,7 million) and operating profit increased by 82,2% to R88,4 million (H1 2015: R48,5 million).

Operating profit margins decreased to 14,4% (H1 2015: 16,2%).


Prospects

The Medium Term Budget Policy Statement presented to Parliament on 21 October 2015 proposed baseline increases to the SANRAL budget over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework period to arrest deterioration of the national road network. To improve the efficiency of investments in the secondary road network, a new performance component incorporating efficiency indicators for managing road networks was proposed and will be introduced in the provincial roads maintenance grant. These proposals are encouraging and should ensure that a healthy volume of road construction and rehabilitation work is available for tender in the medium term.

The Group has a secured order book of R8,24 billion (H1 2015: R7,54 billion) and will use this base to continue focusing on the effective execution of current contracts and selective tendering for replacement work at better margins. The Zambia Link 8000 contracts account for R975,0 million of the current order book.

The outlook for commercial quarry operations and material handling and processing operations remains positive and the Group will continue to look for acquisitions in the materials sector to expand its geographical footprint.

Prospects for future work in the solar energy sector are encouraging with a number of bids submitted during the period.

With the bitumen and aggregate supply issues that affected asphalt production now resolved and the execution of solar projects in progress, the Group is looking forward to an improved performance in the period ahead.

Reclassification of comparative figures

In the prior period consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended

31 August 2014 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2015 the results of Tosas were disclosed as a separate segment in the segmental analysis. This was done in order to report the results of Tosas separately until such time as the acquired business was bedded down within the Group and returned to profitability. In order to more fairly present the segments and in line with the disclosure of information reported to the chief operating decision maker in terms of IFRS, the results of Tosas have been disclosed as part of the Road Surfacing and Rehabilitation segment. This has resulted in the restatement of the prior period figures.
