Uvenco UK plc ("the Company" or "the Group")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2016
Uvenco UK plc today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2016.
Chairman's statement
I have pleasure in presenting the unaudited results of Uvenco UK plc for the six months ended 30 September 2016. Our full year results to 31 March 2016 were published only six weeks ago underlining the continuing improvement in the Group's financial controls and reporting systems.
For the first time in the last five years our Earnings per share (EPS) are positive.
Our EBITDA for the last two audited years was negative while for this six months it is GBP280,402 showing the significant progress made in the turnaround of the Group.
It should also be noted that the H1 comparative results to 30 September 2015 did not reflect the substantial write-downs reported recently in the full year accounts to 31 March 2016 and as a result do not reflect the underlying operating profit improvement that is currently being experienced. However, these six months results do reflect this more rigorous accounting treatment.
Financial Highlights
- Turnover decreased by 6.7% to GBP7,453,785 (H1 2016: GBP7,984,874)
- Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased 27.3% to GBP280,402 (H1 2016: GBP385,901)
- Profit for the period increased to GBP1,095,030 (H1 2016: loss of GBP688,670) due to an exceptional one off profit from the write off of loans (see Note 8)
- Net cash outflow from operating activities improved to GBP46,085 (H1 2016: outflow of GBP568,302)
- Overall gross borrowings reduced by 66.7% to GBP1,440,060 (H1 2016: GBP4,324,865) - Earnings per share increased from a loss of 8.1p per share to a profit of 1.5p per share
Re-financing
On 12 August 2016, the Group bought itself out of its indebted position with its lending bank. The Company owed the bank approximately GBP2.5m which it settled in full for GBP1m which it borrowed from Reward Corporate Finance Ltd ('Reward'). Total Group borrowing now comprises the GBP1.3m facility from Reward. It is the Group's intention now to re-finance this borrowing as soon as it is able at a lower rate of interest than it is currently paying, following the end of the three month minimum period of the agreement with Reward.
The Group also intends to borrow additional GBP450,000 to bring its working capital to the normal level.
Name Change
On 31 May 2016 the Company announced the name change of Snacktime plc to Uvenco UK plc (AIM ticker: UVEN).
Operations and Strategy
The business has continued undergoing a profound period of change.
We have introduced KPIs and a quarterly bonus scheme for the Depot Managers and Regional Sales Managers.
New prices have been negotiated with most major suppliers, which with effect from the middle of September, will result in an increase in the overall gross margin for the majority of the snack products. We have started testing the personalised delivery of stock directly to our operators and merchandisers,.
We have already increased the door prices for our free standing hot beverage machines and we now review the snacks prices in the Public segment.
We have already increased the door prices for our free standing hot beverage machines and we now plan a 7% to 10% increase for the snacks in Public as well as for our cup charges and other invoices to the customers.
A closer look is also being undertaken into our engineering team regarding the levels of stock of spares in their vans in order to increase their main KPI - fixing the machines during the first visit.
Change of financial year end
The Group is proposing to change its financial year end from 31 March to 31 December with effect from 31 December 2016. The current financial period will therefore be shortened by three months to 31 December 2016, following which the Company will announce half yearly unaudited results to 30 June 2017 with comparable figures for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016. The reason for the change is to coincide the Group's financial year end with that of Uvenco Russia.
Current Trading & prospects
We remain focused on delivering consistent quality products while managing costs, from "clean, full and working" machines, whenever a purchase is desired. We will continue investing into new state of the art machines in order to start growing the revenue. This has already been reflected in the growth of our free on loan estate as well as the coinage receipts compared to the equivalent prior year period.

UVENCO UK PLC
NOTES TO THE interim FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
period ended 30 September 2016
1. General Information
Uvenco UK plc is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 (registered number 06135746). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered address is 17 Rufus Business Centre, Ravensbury Terrace, London, SW18 4RL. The Company's shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
The principal activities of the Group is the sale and operation of hot drink and snack vending machines, the operation of free on loan vending machines via a franchise division and the production and supply of "in-cup" drinks and associated equipment.
2. Basis of accounting
These interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. The merger method of accounting has been adopted, following a group reconstruction involving Uvenco UK plc and SnackTime UK Limited. The acquisition of Snack in a Box Limited was accounted for using acquisition accounting in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". The acquisition of Vendia UK Limited was accounted for using acquisition accounting in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations".
All companies in the Group use sterling as presentational and functional currency.
The information presented within these interim financial statements is in compliance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. This requires the use of certain accounting estimates and requires that management exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim financial statements are disclosed below.
SnackTime UK Limited has elected not to apply IFRS 3, Business Combinations retrospectively to past business combinations prior to the date of transition.
The financial information contained in this report, which has not been audited, does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company's statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2016, prepared under IFRS have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The principal areas where judgement was exercised is as follows:
- Property, plant and equipment includes the value of the vending machine estate. The Directors annually assess both the residual value of these assets and the expected useful life of such assets.
- The Directors have estimated the useful economic lives of intangible assets. The economic lives and the amortisation rates are reviewed annually by the directors.
- The Group receives branding fees to contribute to the installation and refurbishment of vending machines. The Directors are required to assess the amounts receivable at each reporting date and whether all the conditions have been met to enable these to be recognised.
- Sales from vending machines are recognised at the point of sale to the customer. At each year end, the Directors are required to make an estimate of sales where the vending machine has not been emptied or inspected at the year-end date.
4. REVENUE
Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the group for goods and services supplied, excluding VAT and trade discounts. Revenue for goods sold from vending machines is recognised at the date of sale. Revenue in respect of installation and refurbishment of branded vending machines is recognised at the date of installation or refurbishment. Franchising fees are recognised when the franchisee starts trading. Managed estate sales are recognised in full once the customer has taken over operation of the machine.
5. Loss/EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of profit for the period after tax, divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue for the period ended 30 September 2016 of 74,597,452 (H1 2015 - 32,843,003).
6. segment information
The Group has three main reportable segments:
- Specialist drinks - The manufacture and sale of single portion beverages called 'Drinkpacs' together with the sale of associated food and drink products.
- Franchising - The marketing and franchising of operations in the provision of snack solutions.
- Vending - Vending activities.
Factors that management used to identify the Group's reportable segments
The Group's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The Group evaluates performance on the basis of profit or loss from operations but excluding non-recurring profits/losses, such as goodwill impairment, and the effects of share-based payments.
Inter-segment sales are priced on the same basis as sales to external customers, with an appropriate discount being applied to encourage use of group resources at a rate acceptable to local tax authorities. This policy was applied consistently throughout the period.
Segment assets exclude tax assets and assets used primarily for corporate purposes. Segment liabilities exclude tax liabilities. Loans and borrowings are allocated to the segments based on relevant factors (e.g. funding requirements). Details are provided in the reconciliation from segment assets and liabilities to the group position.
