ECO Animal Health Group plc is a leader in the development, registration and marketing of pharmaceutical products for animals. Our products for these global growth markets promote well-being. Our financial goals are achieved through the careful and responsible application of science to generate value for our shareholders.

 

Chairman's Statement

 

For the six months ended 30 September 2016

 

I am very pleased to report that ECO Animal Health Group has delivered another set of record results. I am also delighted to welcome several new investing institutions to our share register and, with the improved liquidity of our shares, the price has risen significantly giving the company a current market capitalisation of over GBP320 million.

 

As I mentioned in our Annual Report last June, less than three per cent of our sales are in sterling and the post Brexit weakness of sterling against the dollar and euro, our principal trading currencies, is having a positive impact on our sales and profitability. It is also worth noting that there are currently zero rate tariffs in place for both human and animal drugs around the world.

 

Financial Performance

 

Profit before tax increased over 97 per cent to GBP5.3m (2015: GBP2.7m) compared with the same period last year while once again sales advanced 25 per cent to GBP26.9m (2015: GBP21.5m). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, share based payments, non-controlling (minority) interests and foreign exchange movements were GBP6.3m (2015: GBP4.3m), an increase of over 46 per cent. Cash generated from operations rose by almost 300 per cent from GBP1.4m in the first half of last year to GBP5.4m. Earnings per share rose 61 per cent to 5.68 pence per share (2015: 3.52 pence). Gross profit advanced by almost 43 per cent to GBP12.8m (2015: GBP8.9m). Margins also grew strongly, building on the progress made in the second half of the previous year. These trading increases were driven by an improved geographical mix of sales, notably in the United States of America and China.

 

The board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share (2015: 1.9 pence) to be paid on 7 April 2017 to shareholders on the register on 17 March 2017.This increase of almost 32 per cent over last year's level again reflects the board's confidence in the sustainable growth of the business and the implementation of a progressive dividend policy.

 

Operations:

 

ECO provides essential medications to the ever growing global animal protein production industry. Currently its products are sold in more than sixty countries.

 

The period under review has continued to deliver excellent sales growth with particularly strong performances from major markets including the USA, China and Japan. Latin America performed strongly, while this result was tempered by the economic and political difficulties in Brazil.

 

Sales of Aivlosin®, our patented molecule for the treatment of economically important diseases of pigs and poultry, increased by almost 15 per cent. Aivlosin® is prescribed under strict veterinary control at low yet efficacious dose rates for short duration treatment of specified diseases and meets all the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines for the responsible use of antimicrobials, which when used appropriately help promote animal welfare and food safety.

 

Sales in the USA were up 60 per cent in sterling, compared with the same period last year, reflecting strong growth of the Aivlosin® water soluble granule formulation launched in late 2012. The result also included early sales of the Aivlosin® medicated feed additive formulation, which was approved by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at the end of March.

 

In China, our subsidiary, Zhejiang ECO Biok Animal Health Products, which was established over a decade ago, saw sales rising almost 90 per cent, buoyed by the recent high price of pork and increased investment by producers in high value breeding stock. In Japan, sales grew by nearly 15 per cent reflecting the development of closer ties with key customers in a mature market. Ecomectin®, our range of differentiated anti-parasitic treatments for food producing animals, also posted strong double digit growth in both of these markets.

 

In June, ECO received a marketing authorisation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the use of Aivlosin® water soluble granules in chickens laying eggs for human consumption. This license allows for the treatment of a major respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum with a zero day drug withdrawal period for eggs. The Company has begun to submit these files to many of the regulatory authorities in the key egg producing markets in the rest of the world with the first of these approvals having being secured in Thailand in October.

 

Corporate advisors

 

Peel Hunt LLP were appointed as the Company's nominated advisor and broker in 2014. In November, after the period end, N+1 Singer became joint broker to provide additional marketing and research support to our growing number of institutional investors. We have also worked with Capital Access Group, specialising in serving the private client sector.

 

Outlook

 

The second half of the year has started well with strong order books. ECO has a sound balance sheet and cash flow generation. The company continues to invest successfully in its research and product development programme to obtain further marketing authorisations. I look forward with confidence to reporting another set of strong results in 2017.

NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

 

1.Basis of preparation

 

The financial information for the period to 30 September 2016 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in, and is consistent with, the audited financial statements for the twelve months to 31 March 2016.

 

The Group applies revised IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements (2007)". As a result, the Group presents all non-owner changes in equity in consolidated statements of comprehensive income and all owner changes in equity in consolidated statements of changes in equity.

 

2.Statement of compliance

 

The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and do not comply with all of the disclosure requirements in IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Accordingly, whilst the interim statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, they cannot be construed as being in full compliance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016.

 

3.Revenue is derived from the Group's animal pharmaceutical businesses.

 

4.Principal risks and uncertainties

 

These were set out on pages 63-65 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016. The key exposures are to foreign currency exchange rates, potential delays in obtaining marketing authorisations and single sources of supply for some raw materials and have remained unchanged since the year end.
