Interim Results for the 6 months ended 31 March 2016
Directors' Interim Report
FIRST HALF
As we expected and indicated in our statement at the AGM, market conditions were challenging during the first half resulting in sales and profits both lower than last year. Overall, Group revenue decreased 6% to GBP21.3 million (2015: GBP22.8 million), with profit before tax decreasing by 24% to GBP1.7 million (2015: GBP2.2 million). Adjusted operating profit* of GBP1.9 million (2015: GBP2.5 million) is also down 24% on last year and earnings per share dropped to 13.1p (2015: 18.6p). The Group balance sheet remains strong with cash of GBP14.0 million (2015: GBP13.0 million).
The first quarter performance was particularly weak. Sales did recover in the second quarter but confidence remains somewhat fragile. In our lift businesses the UK and Australia were generally weaker, while North American sales were up. Keypad sales were well down and there was also a change in the mix of our customers' products. Transport products, however, bounced back from last year's low levels to record an improvement. Currency movements reduced reported Group revenue by approximately GBP0.4 million in the first six months. The weaker Australian and Canadian Dollars caused the reduction but were partially offset by other currencies.
OUTLOOK
At the moment demand overall seems to be continuing at the level of the second quarter. Looking forward there is a great deal of uncertainty in the political and economic situation and there are outcomes that might have a positive or negative impact on the business. We do know that public sector spending restraints are unlikely to ease any time soon and customers' concerns about pricing are unlikely to diminish; so we are focussed on trying to carefully control our expenditure whilst continuing to push ahead with appropriate investments to improve the business for the longer term.
DIVIDS
The Directors have declared an interim dividend of 3.00p (2015: 3.00p) which amounts to GBP254,000 (2015: GBP254,000). The interim dividend is payable on 23 August 2016 and will be posted on 18 August 2016 to shareholders appearing in the Register on 8 July 2016 (ex-dividend date being 7 July 2016).
A final 2015 dividend of 10.00p (2014: 6.20p) which amounted to GBP847,000 (2014: GBP525,000) was approved at the AGM held on 2 February 2016 and was paid on 17 February 2016 to members on the register at 22 January 2016.
