CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview
The Group's revenue for the 6 months ended 30 June 2022 (the "period") was GBP37.9 million, an increase of GBP2.2 million compared with the same period in 2021 and a record for the first half year. Operating profit for the period was GBP8.5 million compared with GBP8.0 million in 2021, an increase of GBP0.5 million, reflecting the increased revenue. Overall, net funds increased by GBP5.2 million from GBP16.5 million as at 31 December 2021 to GBP21.7 million as at 30 June 2022 .
Operations review
Revenue at Andrews Sykes Hire in the UK continues to grow and improved by 2.1% compared with the same period in 2021. Our businesses in the rest of Europe experienced a very strong increase in revenue, improving 16.8% compared to the same period in 2021. This result was driven by an exceptional performance from our Italian subsidiary, Nolo Climat, with revenues 92.9% up on the same period in 2021 with the early and prolonged high summer temperatures seen in Italy increasing demand in our cooling products. Consequently, the combined operating profit for the UK and European hire businesses in the period was GBP1.0 million above the level achieved in 2021.
Climat Location in France has continued to struggle with revenues 12.0% lower than the same period in 2021. As a result, the decision has been made to restructure the business in France and restructuring costs, including depot closures and redundancy, of GBP0.5m have been incurred during the period. We are confident that once completed, the restructuring will right-size the French operation and lead to profitable future growth.
Andrews Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, our UK air conditioning installation business, has traded broadly in line with last year. Whilst revenue increased 3.7% in the period compared to the first six months of 2021, it still remains 33.1% lower than the corresponding period in 2019. Operating profit decreased by GBP0.1m as compared to first half of 2021 as a continuing struggle to recruit and retain engineers negatively impacted results.
Khansaheb Sykes, our business based in the UAE, has continued to experience a difficult trading environment but pleasingly recorded revenue growth of 5.8% versus the first half of 2021. Despite this revenue increase and a favourable exchange rate between the Dirham and Sterling, operating profit is comparable to the first half of 2021 and continues to be depressed by increased historic bad debt charges.
Profit for the financial period and Earnings per Share
Profit before tax for the period was GBP8.5 million compared with GBP7.6 million in the same period last year. This GBP0.9m increase is attributable to the GBP0.5 million improvement in operating profit, a net foreign exchange gain on inter-company balances of GBP0.2 million (2021: loss of GBP0.1m) due to the weakening of Sterling compared with the Euro, and a net increase of GBP0.1 million in interest receivable resulting from the full repayment of the GBP3.0 million loan outstanding as at 31 December 2021 and higher interest received on cash deposits.
The total tax charge for the period increased by GBP0.7 million to GBP2.1 million (2021: GBP1.3 million), an effective tax rate of 24.0% (2021: 17.5%). The increase in the overall effective rate of tax is driven by a lower level of capital allowances claimed in the UK, coupled with higher profits generated in Italy which has a higher tax rate than in the UK.
Profit after tax in the period was GBP6.5 million (2021: GBP6.2 million). Basic earnings per share increased by 0.57 pence, or 3.9%, to 15.36 pence (2021: 14.79 pence) reflecting this increase in profit .
Dividends
The final dividend of 12.50 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2021 was approved by members at the AGM held on 14 June 2022. Accordingly, on 17 June 2022 the Company made a total dividend payment of GBP5.27 million which was paid to shareholders on the register as at 27 May 2022.
The board continues to adopt the policy of returning value to shareholders whenever possible. The Group remains profitable, cash generative and financially strong. Accordingly, the board has decided to declare an interim dividend of 11.90 pence per ordinary share which in total amounts to GBP5.0 million.
In addition to the interim dividend, the board has assessed the company's ongoing cash requirements and has concluded that, as a result of the company's robust cash generation, a portion of the current cash reserves are surplus to the company's requirements. The board has therefore decided to return this surplus capital to Andrews Sykes shareholders by way of a special dividend of 16.60 pence per ordinary share which in total amounts to GBP7.0 million. Both the interim and special dividends will be paid on 4 November 2022 to shareholders on the register as at 7 October 2022.
Outlook
The second half of the year has started resiliently with record temperatures in the UK and Europe positively impacting demand for the Group's air conditioning units and chillers. This increased summer demand leads management to be optimistic over the full year results. In the longer term, management remains optimistic that the business will continue to improve but are mindful of the current economic climate and the impact that heightened energy prices, inflation and recession risk can pose to the business and customer demand.

4 Income tax expense
The total effective tax charge for the financial period represents the best estimate of the weighted average annual effective tax rate expected for the full financial year applying tax rates that have been substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. UK corporation tax has been provided at 19%. In the UK budget on 15 March 2021, the chancellor announced that the rate of corporation tax in the UK will increase from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. This increase will increase the amount of corporation tax payable in the UK. Deferred tax has been calculated based on the rates that the directors anticipate will apply when the temporary timing differences are expected to reverse .

7 Pensions
The Group closed the UK Group defined benefit pension scheme to future accrual as at 29 December 2002. The assets of the defined benefit pension scheme continue to be held in a separate trustee administered fund. Over recent years the Group has taken steps to manage the ongoing risks associated with its defined benefit liabilities.
As at 30 June 2022 the Group had a net defined benefit pension scheme surplus, calculated in accordance with IAS 19 using the assumptions as set out below, of GBP9,392,000 (30 June 2021: GBP3,606,000; 31 December 2021: GBP6,137,000). The asset has been recognised in the financial statements as the directors are satisfied that it is recoverable in accordance with IFRIC 14.
Following the triennial recalculation of the funding deficit as at 31 December 2019, a revised schedule of contributions and recovery plan was agreed with the pension scheme trustees in March 2021 and was effective from 1 January 2021. In accordance with this schedule of contributions and recovery plan, the Group will be making regular contributions of GBP110,000 per month for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022, and GBP10,000 per month for the period 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025 or until a revised schedule of contributions is agreed, if earlier. Consequently, the Group expects to make total contributions to the defined benefit pension scheme of GBP1,320,000 during 2022.
Assumptions used to calculate the scheme surplus
The IAS 19 figures are based on a number of actuarial assumptions as set out below, which the actuaries have confirmed they consider appropriate.

2022 2021 2021
Rate of increase in pensionable salaries n/a n/a n/a
Rate of increase in pensions in payment 3.2% 3.3% 3.5%

The demographic assumptions used for 30 June 2022, were the same as used in 31 December 2021, 30 June 2021 and the last full actuarial valuation performed as at 1 April 2020.
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on advice in accordance with published statistics. The mortality table used at 30 June 2022, 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 is 100% S3PA CMI2020 with a 1.25% per annum long term improvement for both males and females, heavy tables for males and medium tables for females.

Surplus in scheme 9,392 3,606 6,137
The increase in the pension surplus since December 2021 is mainly due to a decrease in the value of liabilities as a consequence of an increase in bond yields increasing the discount rate.
