Following a Board Meeting held today, 14 February 2017, the Directors announce the preliminary statement of results for the year ended 31 October 2016.

ISIN: GB0004182720 for 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares

ISIN: GB0004182506 for Ordinary Shares

Chairman's statement

Operating profit for the year under review has increased by 0.56% (GBP8,000) after a 1.03% (GBP73,000) increase in turnover on the previous year. There was an impairment cost of GBP163,000 relating to the Pen and Quill, and this was further to the GBP47,000 impairment for the same house which I reported last year.

Results

Group Turnover increased by GBP73,000 to GBP7,155,000. Group Operating Profit increased by GBP8,000 to GBP1,420,000.

Heavitree Inns remained dormant throughout the year.

Heavitree Inc. generated an operating loss of GBP16,000 (2015 - loss of GBP13,000).

Key Performance Indicators

Adjusted Operating Profit before Taxation of GBP1,420,000 was up 0.56% on last year.

Interest costs were covered 9.72 times.

Dividend

The Directors recommend a 2.04% increase in the final dividend to 3.75p per Ordinary and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share (2015 - 3.675p) making a total for the year of 7.425p. The dividend will be paid on 21 April 2017, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting on 13 April 2017, to those shareholders on the Register at 24 March 2017.

The Directors decision to recommend an increase in the dividend reflects another steady performance for the Company. Also, it is an opportunity to return some capital to shareholders following the disposals of non-core houses during the year.

Sale of Property

I reported last year that the Hole in the Wall and the Exeter Inn, both in Dawlish, were being marketed for sale. These properties were sold in the year under review realising a book profit of GBP28,000 and GBP171,000 respectively. We also sold the Carpenters Arms in Ilsington, realising a profit of GBP278,000, and one of the three newly built houses on the old Country House Inn site in Exeter, which realised a profit of GBP93,000. The Pen and Quill in Taunton and the Bell Inn in Cullompton are currently being marketed for sale.

Capital Investments

A redevelopment of the Dolphin in St. Marychurch and significant refurbishments of the Marshals in Barnstaple and the Atmospheric Railway in Starcross were undertaken during the year, although the latter was not completed until soon after the year under review closed. These were the major capital works carried out during the year and all three houses are trading well after reopening. Many further smaller investments were carried out across different houses in upgrades to kitchens, lavatories or cellars, new patio areas and the normal annual programme of external decorations and changes to signage. The redevelopment of the Dartmoor Halfway in Bickington is well under way and it is hoped that this exciting new pub will be opened in April of this year.

Website

At the time of writing, our new website is having the finishing touches added to it before it goes live. Designed by AB in Exeter, the new site and our improved web presence should help in attracting strong operators to our business.

Pension Scheme

The Company continues to meet its funding obligations to its closed final salary Pension Scheme. The next triennial valuation fell due on 1 January 2017 and is anticipated to be completed in early 2018.

Repurchase of shares

The Company did not repurchase any of its own shares during the year under review but the Directors intend to seek shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting for the continuing authority to do so.

Personnel

Sadly, the year was tainted by the very sad loss of Geoff Evans who died in September 2016. Geoff retired from the Company in April 2001 having joined in April 1968. He was a knowledgeable, well-respected member of our team, much liked by his colleagues from this Office and in particular, the many successful tenants who were chosen by him to operate one of our houses. His cheerful demeanour was infectious, even when he was given the unenviable task of showing the present Chairman the ropes when he first joined the Company. His involvement in the trade and with Devon County Cricket meant that he touched the lives of many and he will be sorely missed.

Outlook

Our pubs and their operators and our staff at Head Office have again combined to produce a good result for the Company against a backdrop of all sorts of peculiarities in our ever-changing world. The standards of presentation and operation in our houses remains very high and, together with the income streams generated from the reopening of newly refurbished houses, this should stand us in good stead for the coming year.
