Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report the financial results for the six months to 31 December 2016. These have seen a highly pleasing increase in turnover, gross profit and EBITDA.
The Group has gained new clients across all of its subsidiary divisions. The Croma Vigilant contract wins continue apace with clients giving a seal of approval to our ex-military approach to service delivery. The major utility company contract win for Croma Locksmiths is highly significant in its size and bearing on other utilities having to follow a new regulatory regime. Our FASTVEIN(TM) product in Croma Security is gaining traction and clients and we see it further developing in the coming months.
We are likewise pleased to maintain our progressive dividend policy.
The idea of a highly specialised total security group is forming up well, our brand is becoming recognised and clients are seeing the benefits of coming to a single service partner for all their needs. It has been a good six months for the Group.
Financial Review
Revenue increased by GBP2.6M against the first half of 2015, with pleasing growth across our three main operating divisions with Vigilant guarding at GBP8.3M (2015:GBP6.7M), Croma Security Systems at GBP1.4M (2015:GBP1.2M) and Croma Locksmiths at GBP1.5M (2015:GBP0.8M).
The growth in our guarding division reflects growth from our existing client base but also from new contract wins particularly with the NHS, however we find gross margins have been squeezed in a continuingly competitive market for new tenders.
In our Security Systems division, the growth has been driven from our existing business of CCTV, intruder systems, fire systems, but we continue to develop our FASTVEIN(TM) offering with the possibility of further revenue growth in the second half.
In our Locksmiths division, we have seen revenue growth from the acquisition in December 2015, however on like-for-like basis revenue has fallen by 10%. In the second half, we expect to see an improvement as revenues from our recent water utility contract win develop.
The reduction in cash and cash equivalents by GBP96K is linked to revenue growth in Vigilant where we currently finance the payment of guard's wages before payment from customers, however this is as expected and has been funded out of our existing borrowing facilities.
Dividend
The Board is declaring an interim dividend of 0.5p (2015: 0.4p) per share, to be paid on 7 April 2017 to shareholders with an ex-dividend date of 9 March 2017 and an associated record date of 10 March 2017.
Outlook
This has been a strong start to the year, we are building a momentum and look forward to updating shareholders in the coming period.
