Peter Lawrence, Chairman, commented:

 

"We are delighted by the first half performance driven by the implementation of our strategy to build strong commercial relationships with end users. The second half of the year has started well. Our strong balance sheet and positive cash generation give Anpario a sound platform from which to make selective earnings enhancing acquisitions and to further invest in recruitment and infrastructure to accelerate the profitable growth of the business".

 

Chairman's statement

 

In my first statement as Chairman, I would like to thank my predecessor, Richard Rose, for his 12 years of service to Anpario and his leadership and guidance of the Board, during which time significant shareholder value has been created.

 

Anpario has delivered an excellent performance for the six months to 30 June 2017. The Board is pleased to declare a maiden interim dividend of 2.0p per ordinary share payable on 1 December 2017 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 17 November 2017. The introduction of an interim dividend reflects the Board's confidence in the growth prospects of the Company.

 

These results reflect the enhanced focus on the implementation of our strategy. The recruitment of regional commercial teams and the decision to rebrand under the Anpario name have raised the company's international profile. These factors, along with improved product technology and service capabilities, have been of great benefit to end user customers.

 

The transformation of our sales and distribution channels is still in its early stages, but getting closer to our production customers and working with key partner distributors has clearly helped to drive sales growth during the period. Distribution has been further extended during the period through the acquisition of Cobbett, our Australian distributor, and the formation of subsidiaries in Thailand and Indonesia.

 

Financial review

 

Revenue in the first half of the year increased by 39% to GBP14.8m (2016: GBP10.7m). Gross profit advanced by over 42% to GBP7.3m (2016: GBP5.1m). Increased volumes and a higher proportion of end customer sales have enabled us to maintain our overall gross margins and helped offset some raw material price inflation.

 

Administrative expenses in the period rose 51% to GBP5.1m (2016: GBP3.4m). Foreign exchange losses, included in administrative expenses, were GBP0.4m in the period compared to gains of GBP0.3m in 2016. As such, the underlying increase in administrative expenses was GBP1.0m, the majority of which relates to investment in new appointments and the associated costs. This increase is a result of internal restructuring and the set-up of new operations. This process is still underway and is expected to continue through 2017, as evidenced by some further exceptional items of GBP0.3m (2016: GBP0.2m). This investment is already contributing to the increase in revenue but it will take time for the full impact to be felt.

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 was ahead by 31% to GBP2.6m (2016: GBP2.0m). The growth in profit after tax of 21% to GBP1.6m (2016: GBP1.3m) was achieved after increases to the depreciation and amortisation charges resulting from recent capital expenditure and higher share-based payments and income tax charges.

 

Basic earnings per share increased by 19% to 7.80p (2016: 6.55p) and adjusted earnings per share grew by 22% to 9.13p (2016: 7.49p).

 

The balance sheet is strong and debt free with further positive cash generation of GBP1.5m. The cash balance at the period end was GBP12.6m (31 December 2016: GBP11.1m) after expending GBP0.5m on the purchase of Cobbett, our Australian distributor, in February 2017.

 

Operations

 

Our key target regions delivered exceptionally strong performances during the period with increases of 58%, 56% and 46% from Asia, the Americas and the Middle East, respectively over the equivalent period last year. This overall strong organic sales growth totalling GBP3.13m results directly from the strategic initiatives implemented in 2016. In addition, favourable currency movements contributed just under GBP1m to like for like sales. In Asia, there were strong performances from Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand. China delivered sales growth of 42% helped by the successful relaunch of Orego-Stim, which is now branded as Meriden-Stim.

 

In Australia, Cobbett contributed to the region's sales performance. A new regional manager for Australasia has been recruited, responsible for our business in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific territories. In Asia, territory managers were recruited for Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Employing local commercial teams, who are closer to our end user customers, gives us better insight into opportunities, including local pricing and also keeps the Anpario brand at the forefront of customers' minds.

 

The standout performer in the Americas region was the United States, which accounted for 7% of total group revenue and where sales have accelerated in the dairy sector, organic egg layers and supplying poultry integrators for both conventional and antibiotic free production. It is anticipated that sales will expand across the United States, reflecting increasing recognition of our natural feed additives.

 

Brazil and Mexico, our two key markets in Latin America, also saw good sales growth. New distributors were appointed in Chile and Peru to strengthen our presence in these areas.

 

Despite the ongoing geopolitical events in the region, the Middle East returned to growth with strong performances from Israel, Lebanon and Turkey. The outturn in Turkey contrasts with the first half of 2016 when reduced stockholdings began at the start of last year. A new technical sales manager has also been recruited to support development in this area.

 

Our operations in the UK and Ireland, which account for 11% of total sales, did well growing sales by 15%. The recovery in milk prices helped to strengthen demand for Ultrabond and Optomega, which improve fertility in dairy cows. Our UK team is working, in partnership with industry specialists, offering turnkey solutions for the egg laying industry by demonstrating the benefits of Anpario products to farmers, who are keen to maximise the profitability of their egg laying stock.

 

Our main product groups of eubiotics (gut health) and mycotoxin binders delivered encouraging performances with our leading product brands: Orego-Stim, Salkil, Salgard, Ultrabond and Prefect all contributing to the growth.

 

Innovation and development

 

Over the past 12 months we have recruited a new central technical team to manage new product development and technical support for our customers. One of the team's principal tasks is to demonstrate that our products can help farmers' profitability by improving performance when regulatory changes dictate that certain treatments, such as antibiotic growth promoters, or other industry practices, can no longer be used in meat production. One recent opportunity is the phased banning of zinc oxide in pig diets across the European Union and in some other countries. A number of customers have successfully replaced zinc oxide in diets with our organic acid based eubiotic products, which promote development of the gut microbiota. In order to scientifically support our field experiences, we carried out successful trials at leading institutions in Canada and Thailand.

 

Our technical team has also been strengthened through the recruitment of species specialists in ruminant, swine and aquaculture. This group will support our commercial teams and work with marketing to help communicate our solution driven approach to customers' problems. The teams, working collaboratively, have also developed a number of feed additive programmes to show customers how to use our products in a combined approach through the life stages of their animals. The preventative nature of our feed additives helps present a robust response from animals during periods of growth and disease. Anpario's natural additives also reduce the use of antibiotic growth promoters, which is an important element in the move towards antibiotic free protein production. Our products have also performed strongly in trials carried out in China when removing colistin sulphate, a widely used antibiotic, from weaning piglet diets.

 

Outlook

 

The second half of the year has started well. Our focus remains on implementing the strategy that is successfully transforming our sales and distribution channels by building stronger and closer relationships with customers. Our strong balance sheet and positive cash generation give Anpario a sound platform from which to make selective earnings enhancing acquisitions and to further invest in recruitment and infrastructure to accelerate the profitable growth of the business.

7.Business combinations

 

On 3 February 2017, the Group acquired the business and inventory of Cobbett Pty Ltd ("Cobbett"). Cobbett has been Anpario's distributor since 1987 and the acquisition is in line with our strategy to strengthen sales and distribution channels and develop closer relationships with end users of our products.

 

On completion, the fair value of the net assets and liabilities of Cobbett equalled GBP228,000 and consequently gives rise to goodwill on the transaction of GBP470,000. The acquired business contributed revenues of GBP390,000 and a net profit before tax of GBP41,000 to the Group for the period from 3 February 2017 to 30 June 2017.

 

A contingent consideration arrangement exists that requires the Group to pay in cash, to the former owners of Cobbett, up to AUD $300,000 (GBP184,000) after one year, based on certain performance criteria being met.

 
Details of net assets acquired and goodwill are as follows: 
                                             GBP000 
Purchase consideration                       429 
Inventory                                    85

Total consideration                          698
