Overview for the six months ended 31 December 2022

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2022 was GBP347.7m, an increase of 7% (1% increase at constant exchange rates) compared with GBP325.2m for the corresponding period last year. We achieved revenue growth of 21% (8% at constant exchange rates) in the Americas, 7% (4% at constant exchange rates) in EMEA and 1% (-4% at constant exchange rates) in APAC. There was growth for both our Manufacturing technologies, and Analytical instruments and medical devices segments, with strong growth in sales of multi-laser additive manufacturing (AM) systems, machine calibration systems, laser encoder systems and REVO(R) 5-axis co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspection systems. Demand from the semiconductor and electronics sectors was weaker, resulting in a reduction in sales of our optical encoder products.

Operating costs

Our gross margin (excluding engineering costs) for the period was 64% of revenue, which is similar to the previous year. An increase in manufacturing costs, primarily arising from pay rises for our employees, has been offset by a favourable currency effect on revenue and increases in our sales prices.

Group headcount has increased by 53 since the end of June and was 5,150 at the end of December 2022. This increase includes continued investment in our early careers programmes (mostly for research and development) and in our global sales and support teams. Labour costs (excluding bonuses) were GBP133.4m in this period compared to GBP115.1m last year, with the average headcount in the first half-year being 5,166 (H1 FY2022: 4,824). The increase also reflects the pay reviews we have carried out across our business over the last 14 months, helping to improve employee retention. Our pay benchmarking will now be undertaken around December each year, with the December 2022 review resulting in around GBP4m of additional annual cost.

With pandemic related restrictions now largely lifted, we have increased our investment in customer facing activities, resulting in higher travel and exhibitions costs compared to last year.

We remain committed to our long-term strategy of developing innovative and patented products to create strong market positions. During the first six months of this year, our investment in engineering, including research and development, increased by 22% to GBP46.1m. Since June, we have launched new products including the CENTRUM(TM) metal rotary scale disc system for our ATOM DX(TM) encoder series, the ACS-1 system that brings improved accuracy and speed to the calibration of machine tool probes and the new inLux(TM) SEM Raman interface for our spectroscopy line.

Profit and tax

Adjusted profit before tax(1) for the period was GBP73.5m (21% of revenue) compared with GBP84.2m (26% of revenue) last year. Statutory profit before tax for the period was GBP77.8m, compared with GBP81.5m last year, which includes a GBP4.4m fair value gain (H1 FY2022: GBP2.9m loss) on financial instruments not effective for hedge accounting and not included in adjusted profit before tax. No forward contracts have been designated as ineffective since FY2020.

Financial income for the period was GBP5.0m compared with GBP0.4m last year, and includes a GBP2.3m increase in interest on bank deposits.

The income tax expense in the Consolidated income statement has been estimated at a rate of 17.7% (H1 FY2022: 15.9%) and is based on management's best estimate of the full year effective tax rates by geographical unit applied to half-year profits. This is comparable with the 17.3% achieved in FY2022 and includes an increase in the UK corporation tax rate for the year to 20.5% from 19.0%, which is largely offset by a forecast increase in the UK patent box benefit.

Adjusted earnings per share were 83.4p, compared with 97.2p last year. Statutory earnings per share were 88.1p, compared with 94.2p last year.

Manufacturing technologies

Revenue for this segment, which comprises our Industrial Metrology, Position Measurement and Additive Manufacturing businesses, was GBP330.9m for the first six months, compared with GBP308.7m last year. We achieved strong growth in the Americas and good growth in EMEA, with reduced revenue in our APAC region (at constant exchange rates) mainly due to lower sales of optical encoders to the semiconductor and electronics market. Adjusted operating profit was GBP66.8m, compared with GBP81.3m for the comparable period last year. As already noted there was strong growth for our RenAM 500Q multi-laser AM system where its productivity and ability to produce high quality parts is leading to repeat business from customers in sectors as diverse as consumer electronics, healthcare, aerospace, defence and tooling. There was also strong growth for our CMM inspection systems, based on the REVO(R) 5-axis system, which is meeting customer demands for multi-sensor metrology to provide comprehensive inspection and process feedback from a single measurement platform. Our calibration business also had strong growth compared to the same period last year as machine builders focus on the accuracy and reliability of ever more complex machinery. Weaker demand from our semiconductor customers due to reducing their stock levels and market uncertainty, led to reduced sales of our optical encoder products. However, demand for our high accuracy laser encoders for front-end semiconductor manufacturing processes was very strong. Global forecasts for the construction of semiconductor fabrication plants, driven by new technology, geopolitical considerations and supply chain security, remain positive and we are optimistic about a mid-term recovery in sales to this important sector.

Analytical instruments and medical devices

Revenue from this segment for the first six months was GBP16.8m, compared with GBP16.5m last year. There was strong growth in both APAC and Americas regions, offset by significantly weaker demand from EMEA. The adjusted operating profit was GBP0.1m in the first half of this year compared with GBP1.6m for the comparable period last year. Revenue for our spectroscopy products was flat but we are seeing growth in the order book and strong demand in H1 for our newer products - the Virsa(TM) analyser, a portable system that allows sample analysis outside of a laboratory, and the recently launched inLux(TM) SEM Raman interface which allows simultaneous Raman and scanning electron microscope imaging. Our neurological business is continuing to progress opportunities with pharmaceutical companies to use our drug delivery technology for clinical trials.

Balance sheet

Net cash and bank deposit balances at 31 December 2022 were GBP211.5m, compared with GBP253.2m at 30 June 2022, primarily reflecting the cash generated from operating profit of GBP81.2m, offset by the working capital movement of GBP40.6m, capital expenditure of GBP20.2m, tax payments of GBP16.9m and the final dividend payment of GBP41.2m in respect of FY2022.

Inventory balances have increased by GBP17.3m since 30 June 2022, mainly reflecting targeted increases in components and sub-assemblies for our optical encoder products. Trade receivables have decreased by GBP4.4m in the same period, with receivables days remaining consistent with June levels and no significant movement in expected credit losses. Trade and other payables have reduced by GBP19.6m since June, reflecting lower purchasing activity in the second quarter and payment of bonuses accrued at June.

We invested GBP20.2m (H1 FY2022: GBP12.2m) in capital expenditure during the first six months of this financial year, which includes production plant and equipment and GBP7.8m for the ongoing development of our production facility in Miskin, Wales.

Dividend

The Board has approved an interim dividend of 16.8 pence net per share (FY2022: 16.0p), relecting the Board's confidence in the medium term growth prospects of the business, which will be paid on 11 April 2023 to shareholders on the register on 10 March 2023.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board has considered the risks and uncertainties which could have a material effect on the Group's performance and position. While there is heightened uncertainty arising from geopolitical matters and trade tensions, the overall impact and likelihood of our principal risks is not considered to have changed significantly. This conclusion also reflects the mitigation undertaken by the Group in response to these risks. The principal risks and uncertainties set out on pages 39 to 49 of the 2022 Annual Report therefore remain relevant.

COVID-19 update

We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our people and business. The recent easing of restrictions in China led to a surge in COVID cases and whilst this is causing some short-term disruption to our customers' operations this is expected to dissipate in the next few months. The removal of travel restrictions in China is enabling us to better serve our customer base from across our extensive local office network. We continue to make better use of digital technology to work with each other, our customers and our suppliers, meaning we can work in a more sustainable way by travelling less.

Sustainability

The drive to Net Zero represents many opportunities for our business as our products positively contribute to our customers' own sustainability ambitions by reducing energy consumption, minimising waste and improving the inherent performance of the products that they supply to their customers.

During the period we have continued to make strong progress towards our target of Net Zero for Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 2028, including switching to renewable energy contracts for all UK sites and our main sites in India and the US. We are also moving to ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEV) fleet vehicles in the UK and, as part of our commitment to reduce Scope 3 emissions, we have also introduced a ULEV salary sacrifice scheme, initially in the UK, which will enable our employees to reduce their commuting emissions. As part of this project, we have installed over 70 charging points at our New Mills HQ site which will be replicated at our other key sites in the UK.

As part of our commitment to achieve a science-based Net Zero emissions target of no later than 2050 for our entire business, we will include in our next Annual Report our progress on three of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); SDG 8 (sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth), SDG 12 (sustainable consumption) and SDG 13 (urgent action to combat climate change).

Directors and employees

The Directors would like to thank our employees for their continuing efforts to drive our business forward. During the period we ran a global competition encouraging teams to share how they demonstrate our values: innovation, inspiration, integrity and involvement. We received entries from across the Group, from Mexico to China, and we announced the winning teams in December. Each team chose a charity which will shortly receive a GBP5,000 donation, including a school for blind children in India and a cancer treatment centre in Wales.

Outlook

The Board remains confident in our strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth over the medium term. Our approach of building long-term relationships with customers helps us to identify opportunities in our markets, and our agility and resources ensure we can respond to these opportunities.

Our results so far this year have benefited from products released in recent years and the relationships we have been building with new customers. These relationships, new products and the expected improvement in semiconductor and electronics markets, supports our confidence for medium term growth. To support this, we are continuing to make targeted investments in our people, our production facilities, and our new product pipeline. We have a strong order book, and at this stage we expect full year revenue to be in the range of GBP690m to GBP730m. Adjusted profit before tax is expected to be in the range of GBP140m to GBP165m .

Notes

   1.         Basis of preparation 

The Interim report, which includes the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2022, was approved by the Directors on 2 February 2023.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2022 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the UK. These apply the same accounting policies, presentation and methods of calculation as were applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022, except for income taxes which are accrued using the forecast tax rate for the financial year, and except for the adoption of new accounting standards.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report have not been audited and do not constitute the Group's statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The information relating to the year ended 30 June 2022 is an extract from the Group's published Annual Report for that year, which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and on which the auditor's report was unqualified and did not contain any emphasis of matter or statements under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The Directors have prepared the unaudited interim financial information on a going concern basis. In considering the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the previously mentioned principal risks and uncertainties, as well as the Group's current trading performance and updated cashflow forecasts. The Directors have also considered the financial resources available to the Group, with net current assets of GBP460.6m at 31 December 2022 (compared to GBP457.8m at 30 June 2022), including GBP211.5m net cash and bank deposits at 31 December 2022.

We have updated our reverse stress testing to identify what would need to happen in the period to 31 January 2024 to result in the Group having negative bank deposit and cash balances. We found that this would occur if revenue fell to GBP24m, for each of the 12 months to January 2024. The GBP24m per month is before consideration of longer-term mitigating actions such as reducing labour costs and reducing capital expenditure, and is considerably lower than forecast. This assessment reflects the conclusion that the overall impact and likelihood of our principal risks is not considered to have changed significantly during the period.

Having made appropriate enquiries, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, it is appropriate to continue to adopt a going concern basis of accounting.

   2.         Segmental information 

The Group manages its business in two segments, comprising Manufacturing technologies and Analytical instruments and medical devices. Within the operating segments, there are multiple product offerings with similar economic characteristics, similar production processes and similar customer bases. The results of these segments are regularly reviewed by the Board to allocate resources and to assess their performance. More details of the Group's products and services are given in the Strategic Report of the 2022 Annual Report.

In normal trading conditions, whilst future revenue is difficult to predict given that the Group's outstanding order book is typically less than three months' worth of revenue value, larger consumer electronics orders in the APAC region within the manufacturing technologies segment typically fall in the first or last quarter of the financial year. In addition, the Group typically experiences lower demand in August and December, and so revenue and operating profits are typically lower in the first half of the year. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results, and management do not believe that the business is 'highly seasonal' in accordance with IAS 34.

Currency gains and losses relate to revaluations of foreign currency-denominated balances using latest reporting currency exchange rates. Certain intragroup balances are classified as 'net investments in foreign operations', such that revaluations from currency movements on designated balances accumulate in the Currency translation reserve in Equity. Rolling one-month forward currency contracts are used to offset currency movements on remaining intragroup balances, with fair value gains and losses being recognised in financial income or expenses.

   5.         Taxation 

The income tax expense in the Consolidated income statement has been estimated at a rate of 17.7% (H1 FY2022: 15.9%), based on management's best estimate of the full year effective tax rates by geographical unit applied to half-year profits. This is comparable with the 17.3% achieved in FY2022, and includes an increase in the UK effective tax rate for the year to 20.5% from 19%, which is largely offset by a forecast increase in the patent box benefit.

   6.         Earnings per share 

The earnings per share for the six months ended 31 December 2022 is calculated on earnings of GBP64,068,000 (December 2021: GBP68,533,000 ) and on 72,719,565 shares (December 2021: 72,774,147 shares), being the number of shares in issue during the period. This excludes 68,978 shares (December 2021: 14,396 shares) held by the Renishaw Employee Benefit Trust.

As detailed in the 2022 Annual Report, the key assumption in determining the value-in-use of intangible assets are sales forecasts. Latest sales forecasts, and other factors which may impact the business plans, for relevant cash generating units have been reviewed for indicators of impairment at 31 December 2022. This includes a revision to our discount rate from 9.0% to 10.4% based on prevailing market assumptions at 31 December 2022. As a result, no impairments have been recognised in the six months to 31 December 2022 (December 2021: GBP185,000).

   10.        Financial instruments 

There is no significant difference between the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities and their book value in the Consolidated balance sheet. All financial assets and liabilities are held at amortised cost, apart from the forward exchange contracts which are held at fair value, with changes going through the Consolidated income statement unless subject to hedge accounting. The fair values of the forward exchange contracts have been calculated by a third-party expert, discounting estimated future cash flows on the basis of market expectations of future exchange rates, representing level 2 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels during any period disclosed.

Credit risk

The Group carries a credit risk relating to non-payment of trade receivables by its customers and establishes an allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables where recoverability is considered doubtful. In the six months to 31 December 2022, the Group has not experienced a deterioration in debtor repayments nor in the assumptions used in calculating allowances for expected credit losses. At 31 December 2022, total expected credit losses amounted to GBP2,441,000, being 1.9% of gross trade receivables, compared with GBP2,540,000 at 30 June 2022, being 2.0% of gross trade receivables.

Liquidity risk

The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, and the Group continues to use monthly cash flow forecasts on a rolling 12-month basis to monitor cash requirements. Net cash and bank deposits at 31 December 2022 totalled GBP211,498,000, compared with GBP253,162,000 at 30 June 2022. This reduction included a dividend payment of GBP41,193,000 and cash generation from operating activies of GBP21,556,000 during the period. In consideration of this, the Group remains in a strong liquidity position.

Market risk

At 31 December 2022 the total nominal value of USD, EUR and JPY forward contracts held for cash flow hedging purposes was GBP525,603,000 (December 2021: GBP516,547,000). At 31 December 2022 the remaining nominal value of USD, EUR and JPY forward contracts ineffective for cash flow hedging and yet to mature amounted to GBP21,950,000 (December 2021: GBP109,199,000), with no additional forward contracts becoming ineffective for hedge accounting purposes in the six months to 31 December 2022. A decrease of 10% in the highly probable revenue forecasts of Renishaw plc and Renishaw UK Sales Limited, being the hedged item, would result in an additional GBP5.8m of forward contracts becoming ineffective at 31 December 2022. On an ongoing basis, a 10% depreciation of GBP against USD, EUR and JPY would result in a GBP2,439,000 gain being recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, while a 10% appreciation would result in a GBP1,995,000 loss. Fair value gains and losses relating to this have been excluded from adjusted profit measures, see note 12 for further detail.

   11.        Employee benefits 

The net surplus of the Group's defined benefit pension schemes, on an IAS 19 basis, has increased from a GBP42,245,000 net asset at 30 June 2022 to a GBP61,460,000 net asset at 31 December 2022. This mostly relates to a reduction in liabilities resulting from a 1.05% increase in the UK scheme discount rate. Changes to other key assumptions from 30 June 2022 to 31 December 2022 have not had a material effect on these financial statements. During the first half of this financial year, there has also been a change in the UK scheme asset portfolio, to increase the proportion of assets held as gilts and therefore increase the correlation with future liability exposure.

   12.        Alternative performance measures 

In accordance with Renishaw's Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) policy and ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (2015), APMs are defined as - Revenue at constant exchange rates, Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit.

Revenue at constant exchange rates is defined as revenue recalculated using the same rates as were applicable to the previous year and excluding forward contract gains and losses.

Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit are defined as the profit before tax, earnings per share and operating profit after excluding costs relating to business restructuring, third-party costs relating to the formal sales process ('FSP'), and gains and losses in fair value from forward currency contracts which did not qualify for hedge accounting and which have yet to mature.

From FY2017, the gains and losses from the fair value of financial instruments not effective for cash flow hedging have been excluded from statutory profit before tax, statutory earnings per share and statutory operating profit in arriving at Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit, to reflect the Board's intent that the instruments would provide effective hedges. This is classified as 'Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (i)' in the following reconciliations. The amounts shown as reported in revenue represent the amount by which revenue would change had all the derivatives qualified as eligible for hedge accounting. Gains and losses which recycle through the Consolidated income statement as a result of contracts deemed ineffective during FY2020 are also excluded from adjusted profit measures, on the basis that all forward contracts are still expected to be effective hedges for Group revenue, while the potentially high volatility in fair value gains and losses relating to these contracts will otherwise cause confusion for users of the financial statements wishing to understand the underlying trading performance of the Group. This is classified as 'Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (ii)' in the following reconciliations.

The Board considers these alternative performance measures to be more relevant and reliable in evaluating the Group's performance.

- As required by DTR 4.2 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, the condensed set of financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole. The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the UK.

   -       The Interim report includes a fair review of the information required by: 

(a) DTR 4.2.7 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

(b) DTR 4.2.8 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could do so.
