TIDMDML RNS Number : 5795R YCO Deuxmil PLC 01 May 2009 YCO Deuxmil plc Trading Update YCO Deuxmil plc ("YCO" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following trading update for the year ended 31 December, 2008. The audited final results for the 12 months ending 31 December, 2008, are anticipated to be released and dispatched to shareholders in the first week of June. Highlights * Increased group turnover * The group trades free of debt * More yachts under management and construction * Increase in YCO Crew placements * Expansion of Yacht Help Group * Strong Yacht Fuel Services performance The last twelve months has seen YCO make good progress in expanding and integrating the range of services offered. In May, the Company completed the acquisition of YCO S.A.M. which transformed the Company principally from a supplier of marine fuel to a full services provider to Super Yachts. Yacht Fuel Services (YFS) recorded an increase in turnover for the period under review. YFS continues to operate well and has been successful in winning a considerable amount of new business. The outlook of a stronger US Dollar and a weaker oil price should have a positive effect on the performance of YFS in 2009, a benefit it has not previously enjoyed following high oil prices in 2008, as well as gaining new business generated through yachts serviced under YCO Management. Yacht Help Group ("YHG") has made a small loss following restructuring costs. However, the division has progressed well and is now trading in line with the directors expectations. The company's headquarters have been relocated to Palma's premier Super Yacht location on Paseo Maritimo in state-of-the-art premises and a new YHG office has also opened in the critical location of Antibes (France), in time for the start of the summer season. Additionally, YHG will open a small operation in Montenegro to coincide with the 2009 summer cruising season at the new Porto Montenegro development close to Kotor. The directors anticipate YHG will also benefit from the appointment of an International Operations Director who will give direction and drive to this division. Additionally, as with YFS, YHG is expected to benefit from the enlarged group using its services. BA Yachts (BAY) continues to trade profitably and grow steadily as a key part of the group which provides a niche service in the market. As Super Yacht owners look to operate their yachts more cost-efficiently, BAY's specialist tax services, which can result in significant financial savings for owners, have become particularly sought after and the division made a small profit in 2008. YCO and YCO Crew have grown considerably, with the opening of the new YCO office in Chelsea, London, and two new YCO Crew offices in Palma and Barcelona. Historically, Yacht Management has been at the core of the YCO S.A.M. business model and this department continues to see growth and development. The launch of the Company's online yacht management software, YCO LIVE, has resulted in a high level of interest from Super Yacht owners and captains as they acknowledge the importance of efficient management of an asset during a period where its sale may prove difficult. The online management portal, which should dramatically improve the flow of information and overall administration of each vessel, is now available to all YCO yachts under management, with each yacht's information fully loaded onto the system. As the number of yachts operating YCO LIVE increases, YCO expects the interest generated in the software to increase further. The number of yachts under management increased during 2008 and YCO is currently in discussions to take on the management of several large yachts. The New Construction and Project Management department at YCO continues to see steady growth, with the addition of two significant new projects to the portfolio, and several refit projects. The department already manages several projects in excess of 100 metres and as with YCO Management services, represents a steady and predictable monthly revenue stream. There has been an industry-wide slow down in the charter market although YCO continues to see activity in luxury charter vessels in excess of 60 metres. The sales figures are in line with expectations. Following the Monaco Yacht Show at the end of September 2008, the global market deterioration in Super Yacht sales has mirrored the wider worldwide financial crisis. However, the Company is pleased that the approach to yacht management and service supply, encompassing a broad product platform, has proven sustainable in spite of substantially reduced yacht brokerage income. YCO is pleased to announce renewed activity in this area as we entered the second quarter of 2009. YCO Crew has grown and following expansion in Europe and investment in IT infrastructure and online databases, reports a small loss in its second year of operation. YCO Crew now operates from three fully integrated European offices and works with yachts all over the world. The Palma office is already performing strongly and it is anticipated this will be instrumental in the division achieving further profitability in the near future. To support YCO's own fleet of yachts, YCO Crew has taken on a member of staff dedicated to managing the crew recruitment of all yachts under YCO Management and YCO Project Management. Demand for the company's services remains buoyant. Overview The YCO business model is centred around securing yachts for management and offering high quality support services through the group's companies. The directors believe that the group is well positioned to take advantage of a market improvement when it comes and believe the structured approach of ensuring that each business can stand alone will prove to be fully justified. The Company continues to invest in group integration and CRM systems to ensure that the group is in a position to provide a consistently high, comprehensive service to all existing and new clients. With the anticipated stable revenue from management clients and the range of secondary support services, the directors believe that the Company is in a stronger position than many competitors who rely more heavily on continuous brokerage to secure revenue. Full provision of reorganisation costs and costs of main Board restructuring will be included in the figures to 31 December, 2008, leading to a loss for the year, but providing the platform for growth for the group in 2009. The group of companies continued to trade free of debt throughout 2008 with positive cash flow.
