Commenting on the results Chief Executive, Heejae Chae, said:
"I am pleased to report a resilient financial and operational performance during the year, despite the significant impact of the loss of the ConvaTec contract. We have delivered record revenue and made good progress on our operational footprint plans for integrating and streamlining the business. In Healthcare, we continue to focus on operational efficiencies to optimise assets, enhance capabilities and develop a strong pipeline. In Industrial, despite substantial market contraction in our key market segments, especially in the second half of the year, we delivered a trading profit margin in the top tier of overall performance by our peers.
"As we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict how long the restrictions will last or the shape of the recovery. Regardless of the 'new normal', our strategy is to position ourselves to react decisively and quickly to take advantage of the opportunities that will emerge. To provide flexibility to fully realise these opportunities, in May 2020 we strengthened our Balance Sheet through a successful placing and subscription, as well as a debt-refinancing to provide additional liquidity. Whilst we recognise the past year has been difficult, we are confident these actions, alongside cost saving initiatives, will enable Scapa to cement its strong market position, trusted outsource partner status and ability to quickly support its customers as we continue to focus on rigorous execution of our strategy in the short, medium and long-term."

Chairman's statement
FY20 was a challenging year for Scapa and the current COVID-19 global crisis impacts our ability to be more definitive in our outlook. However, we believe the actions we have taken during this time position us well to maximise any opportunities that emerge for us in a post-pandemic world.
We started the year with the unexpected termination of a multi-year contract with ConvaTec, our largest healthcare customer at the time. The adaptability and resilience of the management team was tested as it navigated through this difficult situation, as well as executing the planned closures of two Healthcare sites to consolidate operations and drive efficiencies across the division. Despite this, the Group delivered record revenue in Healthcare, more than compensating for the loss of ConvaTec. It demonstrates the resilience of our Healthcare proposition and validates the strong relationships we have built with our customers. The Industrial business faced an adverse macro environment particularly in the Automotive and Specialty segments resulting in decline of revenue and margin.
The Group is undergoing a significant transition as it lays the foundation for the Healthcare strategy. The technology transfer of the Gargrave site from Acelity in 2018 has enabled us to take a huge step forward in becoming a leading outsource partner to world-class medical device companies and a global leader in skin technologies. We undertook an extensive investment and restructuring programme that included building a greenfield facility in Knoxville. This will serve as the North American platform alongside the European platform at Gargrave and, by consolidating other facilities into these Centres of Excellence, will deliver operational leverage. We acknowledge that progress has not been in line with our expectations and that we must improve. We will continue to focus on executing our strategy both in Industrial and Healthcare regardless of the current turbulent environment. Whilst it is unclear what the 'new normal' will be as we emerge from COVID-19, we know that we must react quickly to any new dynamics and innovate both our business model and our customer offerings to take advantage of the opportunities which we believe will emerge. The recent equity raise, which was oversubscribed almost three times, along with other management actions, will enable the Group to emerge from the current COVID-19 situation with the flexibility to take advantage of these opportunities to accelerate the execution of our strategy.
Performance and dividend
Statutory Group revenue increased 2.8% to GBP320.6m (2019: GBP311.8m) and revenue on a continuing basis(1) increased 1.7% to GBP313.3m (2019: GBP308.2m). Trading profit decreased 27.2% to GBP27.8m (2019: GBP38.2m) and on a continuing basis was GBP20.5m (2019: GBP34.6m). On a constant currency basis(2), revenue on a statutory basis grew 1.1% and trading profits declined 28.9%.
Adjusted earnings per share decreased 34.4% to 12.4p (2019: 18.9p) and the basic loss per share was 31.9p (2019: earnings of 5.3p); the operating loss of GBP47.3m (2019: operating profit of GBP16.8m) is following a number of exceptional items relating to the loss of the ConvaTec contract, ongoing operational footprint improvements, and goodwill and intangible asset impairments.
The Group ended the year with an adjusted net debt(3) of GBP54.4m (2019: GBP43.7m) and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA was 1.37 times, giving significant headroom against our facility covenant of 3.0 times. The Group continues to operate well within its banking covenants.
The Board will not be proposing a dividend at the Annual General Meeting, being one of the actions to strengthen the liquidity of the Group following the impact of COVID-19.
Employees
I want to express my sincere gratitude to our employees across the Group particularly for their efforts and commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. As all of our sites, with the exception of India, have been classified as essential businesses, we were able to continue working during the various lockdowns to meet the demands of our customers. Our people have demonstrated dedication and courage through this period which has enabled us to stay in operation throughout the entire time. We have implemented strict health and safety measures to ensure that any employee concerns were addressed and safeguarding their wellbeing is our number one priority. The strength of our frontline management and the relationships with our employees and their representatives allowed us to navigate through this very difficult time.
Governance and Board changes
The Board has continued to focus on a strong governance framework, ensuring that internal controls, values and culture align with our strategy.
We have recently made some changes to the structure and composition of the Board to adjust for the new environment and circumstances. We have reduced the number of Executive Directors from four to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to streamline and reduce the size of the Board. There are now three independent Non-Executive Directors, with Tim Miller having joined the Board in January 2020 as the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. With 30 years' experience across a number of industries, including healthcare, Tim is a highly knowledgeable and experienced board-level executive. As a former Director of Standard Chartered Bank with global responsibility for a variety of functions, he appreciates intimately the current challenges faced by businesses in the UK and overseas.
Having served as Chairman of the Company for just over three years I have decided not to offer myself for re-election at the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and to resign from the Board. I have enjoyed being part of the transformation journey of Scapa in which it has strengthened its position, expanded its business and built a strong platform for growth. Chris Brinsmead, who the Board has appointed to succeed me as Chairman with effect from 7 August 2020, will offer himself for election at the AGM.
Outlook
As we navigate through the COVID-19 situation, it is difficult to predict how long the restrictions will last or the shape of the recovery. However, we do believe that the post-COVID-19 world will be very different. Regardless of the 'new normal', our strategy is to position ourselves to react decisively and quickly to adapt to the changes and take advantage of the opportunities that will emerge. We believe that the outsource trend in medical device companies as well as the need to onshore their supply chain from China will accelerate as a result of the crisis. Our footprint and capabilities place us very well to support our customers. In Industrial, we have the experience and track record to maximise our profit margin and cash flow by focusing on Return on Capital Employed according to the appropriate demand level.
Whilst I recognise that the past year has been difficult, I believe that our strategy is resilient and we will continue to maintain laser-like focus on its execution.

Chief Executive's review
FY20 review
In Healthcare we began FY20 with an ambitious transformation agenda, to build on the foundation to become a leading healthcare outsource partner in skin technologies for global medical device companies. We focused on turning the Gargrave site, which was acquired through a technology transfer in FY19, and the greenfield facility in Knoxville, into the Centres of Excellence for our Healthcare business. To that end, two UK sites were consolidated into Gargrave and four US sites (including that at Inglewood) were consolidated into the new Knoxville facility. In addition, Scapa Healthcare completed two technology transfers from two major healthcare customers. However, we did not foresee that ConvaTec would terminate, without cause, the multi-year contract in May 2019. This tested our resilience and adaptability and we were forced to react promptly to mitigate the financial and operational impact. I am grateful to all the employees who helped to ensure that we got through this challenging period by demonstrating the application of our Ten Guiding Principles. Equally I am thankful to our customer partners who we have supported and who helped us to deliver record revenue, more than compensating for the revenue loss of ConvaTec. It is testament to the resilience of our business model and the relationships we have built over the past decade. We still have much work to do to achieve the profit margin we aspire for but we are making good progress.
The Industrial business has stabilised, consists of a resilient portfolio of products and has proven to be efficient and nimble in responding to customer needs. It is focused on niche segments within markets in particular geographies, enabling us to leverage our strong brands and technologies. Our innovation and collaboration with key customers enabled us to gain market share in Cable and Consumer in India. Unfortunately, the tough macro environment in the Automotive and Specialty segments negated these positives and we finished the year with a slight decline in revenue and margin. Our self-help strategy over the past ten years has focused on improving margin and cash through cost-outs and efficiency gains, which we will continue to pursue.
Performance
Statutory Group revenue increased 2.8% to GBP320.6m (2019: GBP311.8m) and revenue on a continuing basis increased 1.7% to GBP313.3m (2019: GBP308.2m). Trading profit decreased 27.2% to GBP27.8m (2019: GBP38.2m) and on a continuing basis was GBP20.5m (2019: GBP34.6m). On a constant currency basis, revenue on a statutory basis grew 1.1% and trading profits declined 28.9%. Adjusted earnings per share decreased 34.4% to 12.4p (2019: 18.9p) and the basic loss per share was 31.9p (2019: earnings of 5.3p); the statutory loss is largely following a number of exceptional items relating to the loss of the ConvaTec contract, ongoing operational footprint improvements, and goodwill and intangible asset impairments.
Despite the loss of the ConvaTec contract, Healthcare revenues grew 7.6% to GBP152.0m (2019: GBP141.3m) and 4.5% on a constant currency basis. This growth benefited from the full year impact of the acquisition of Systagenix in October 2018 and the revenue relating to the Crawford acquisition from July 2019 onwards. On an organic basis Healthcare revenues declined by 9.8% but this improves to a growth of 10.2% if we exclude the impact of the ConvaTec contract, showing that the underlying business has continued to perform well for Healthcare. Healthcare trading profit of GBP13.7m (2019: GBP20.9m) was 34.4% lower and on a continuing basis was GBP6.4m (2019: GBP17.3m). Organic continuing trading profit on a constant currency basis is down 51.7% at GBP8.8m; the trading profit margin for Healthcare was 9.0% (2019: 14.8%), weakened by the loss of the ConvaTec contract.
Industrial revenue of GBP168.6m (2019: GBP170.5m) was 1.1% less due to the adverse macro conditions particularly affecting the Automotive and Specialty product segments; on a constant currency basis this year-on-year decline increases to 1.9%. Industrial trading profit of GBP19.5m (2019: GBP22.3m) was 12.6% lower with the trading margin falling to 11.6% (2019: 13.1%) due to the impact of the reduction in volume and margin mix following the macro-economic challenges.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all territories and market segments in which we operate. Both our Healthcare and Industrial businesses were classified as essential and remained open despite the various government control measures enforcing lockdowns, with the exception of India. The initial restriction on travel required strong local and frontline management to quickly respond to a very dynamic situation. The collaboration and positive relationships with our employees and the respective representatives was essential in maintaining our ongoing operations. We implemented strict health and safety measures to ensure that any employee concerns were addressed and we safeguarded their wellbeing.
We have experienced a significant deterioration of revenue during the first quarter of FY21 as the various government control measures enforced mandatory lockdowns for some of our customers. This has had a major impact on Scapa's financial position and we immediately put in place a range of mitigating actions including internal cost expenditure streamlining, debt renegotiation and an equity raise. We have also significantly reduced capital expenditure and working capital to maximise operational flexibility. Furthermore, we have reviewed all government schemes in each operating jurisdiction that could provide liquidity benefits. We believe these actions will provide Scapa with sufficient working capital and liquidity to withstand the adverse financial impact caused by the pandemic and provide flexibility to capitalise on potential opportunities in a post-COVID-19 environment.
Markets
We are the market leader in skin technology for healthcare companies. We broadly segment our portfolio into Advanced Wound Care, Consumer Wellness and Medical Device Fixation. Our products are typically disposables and consumables which are stand-alone products or components of a medical device system. The demand for our products is driven by trends in demographics such as ageing populations and the increase in obesity-related illnesses. Our opportunities are further enhanced by the trends that the medical device companies have been undergoing. Similar to other segments of healthcare, such as pharmaceuticals, there are increasing trends toward outsourcing by the medical device companies.
Outsourcing includes not only manufacturing but also development of the products. Medical device companies are reconsidering their integrated model and shifting towards an asset-light strategy and looking to external partners to fill the gap in development, supply chain and manufacturing. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the outsourcing trends with companies evaluating their supply chain and looking to onshore back to North America and Europe from China. Given our track record of operational excellence and reliability, Scapa is ideally positioned to become their partner of choice.
The Industrial US$30bn pressure sensitive adhesive market is global, diverse and fragmented. The technology is prevalent across a wide range of markets and applications. Scapa's strategy has been to focus on selected markets where we have competitive technologies or positions. Our target markets are: Construction, Consumer, Cable, Automotive and Specialty. In Construction and Consumer, which are primarily business to consumer (B2C), we leverage our strong brand recognition as well as a broad product portfolio to meet the evolving need of the markets. These segments continue to require safer, temperature-resistant bonding solutions that are both compatible with next-generation materials and comply with increasingly stringent regulatory codes. To remain competitive, our customers increasingly require accelerated new product development, product availability and regional support. Cable, Automotive and Specialty are primarily business to business (B2B), dealing with major global OEMs. The products are designed into an application based on specific technical requirements. The customers require significant technical and global support. Despite our size relative to the overall market, Scapa is one of the largest and few companies with a global footprint to support the OEMs.
Strategy
The Scapa Healthcare strategy is underpinned by the unique position we have with our customers who are global leading medical device companies. We believe we have become a partner of choice for many of our customers and we continue to leverage these strong relationships to deliver organic growth. Our technologies and in-depth expertise play a critical role in the performance of our customers' products for patients and healthcare professionals. This ensures that we have close relationships at key levels with our global customers. Our strategy is to leverage our current position and expand on the share of our customers' spend by providing additional products and services, beyond adhesives. Our transformation from roll stock supplier to complete turn-key partner has been based on this strategy.
Another trend emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic also aligns to our strategy, with many healthcare companies assessing their extended supply chain in Asia. We have already received enquiries from customers who are looking to onshore some of their production from China back to North America and we expect this trend to follow in Europe. Our platforms and capabilities position us well to take advantage of such opportunities and the incremental volume will enable us to increase the utilisation of our manufacturing facilities which will further enhance our benefit from operational gearing.
In Industrial, our strategy is to focus on niche markets and products where we hold a competitive and defensible position. We rely on our strong brand recognition to address the consumable segments of our business. In Europe, and France in particular, we trade under the Barnier(R) brand which is synonymous with PVC tapes. In North America we trade under Polyflex(R) which is a market leader in polyethylene tapes. We are also market leaders in hockey tapes under the Renfrew(TM) brand. In the Engineered Products segment of the business, where we are working on application-specific projects with large OEMs, it is our extensive adhesive portfolio and coating technologies that give us an advantage. Our ability to provide innovative solutions to complex bonding challenges is critical in supporting our Cable, Automotive and Specialty customers. We leverage our digital channel to capture incremental market share. Equally, we continue to drive return on capital employed by focusing on cost-outs and efficiencies. Our self-help agenda underpins every decision we make in Industrial with the goal of maximising margin and cash. We believe that our strategy enables us to respond quickly to the 'new normal' that will result from the current COVID-19 situation. Whilst no one is certain what the 'new normal' will be, we are confident that we have the culture and track record to adjust to the new environment and maximise on opportunities.
People
The execution of our strategy is reliant on our entrepreneurial culture and the adaptability and resilience of our people, which drives our ability to focus on bringing best-in-class innovation, design and manufacturing solutions to our customers and it is this that sets us apart. Indeed, it is this entrepreneurial spirit that has enabled us to rapidly adapt to the challenges and changes that we have had to face. There have been occasions in the last year where the benefits of the application of our Ten Guiding Principles and The Scapa Way have been evident and, as a consequence, we end the year resilient, focused and innovative, and striving to improve as our journey continues. I would like to take this opportunity to recognise our employees who have gone above and beyond during the global pandemic. We have managed to maintain full production capability at all of our European and North American sites. Their dedication and commitment to supporting our customers during these unprecedented times is greatly appreciated.
Operational review - Healthcare
Overview
Scapa Healthcare continues to lead as a trusted strategic outsource partner of choice, providing turn-key solutions into three target markets: Advanced Wound Care, Consumer Wellness and Medical Device Fixation.
Through innovation, expertise and alignment of our core values, we support leading healthcare companies through their growth challenges by developing and manufacturing innovative skin friendly fixation devices and topical skin care solutions. We continue to focus on supporting healthcare companies through operational excellence to deliver long-term sustainable growth. We remain committed to investing in the business and finding innovative solutions to strengthen our position as our customers' preferred outsource partner.
On 10 July 2019, Scapa Tapes North America LLC filed a complaint against ConvaTec Inc in the state of Connecticut for breach of a material supply agreement alleging damages of US$83.81m and a declaratory judgement requesting a court ruling that a non-compete provision in the agreement is legally impermissible. Scapa Tapes North America LLC maintains its position robustly asserting its claim for breach of contract and declaratory judgement. Claims raised by ConvaTec Inc against Scapa Group plc and Scapa Tapes North America LLC in New Jersey have been dismissed. ConvaTec Inc has reasserted certain contract breach, declaratory judgement and other claims against Scapa Group plc and Scapa Tapes North America LLC in Connecticut "in response to the Complaint Scapa Tapes North America LLC filed", which are robustly denied.
Performance
Healthcare revenue of GBP152.0m (2019: GBP141.3m) on a statutory basis is an increase of 7.6% despite the loss of the ConvaTec contract during the year. On a continuing basis revenue increased by 5.1% to GBP144.7m (2019: GBP137.7m). This includes the impact of the Crawford Manufacturing acquisition and a full year impact of the Systagenix (Gargrave) acquisition. Organic revenues on a constant currency basis are 12.4% lower than the prior year as a result of the loss of the ConvaTec contract; if we excluded the impact of ConvaTec then organic revenues grew 7.5% on a continuing basis.
Healthcare trading profit of GBP13.7m (2019: GBP20.9m) is 34.4% lower, largely due to the loss of the ConvaTec contract and a weaker performance at the BioMed site in Dallas, which was impacted by higher one-off costs following major investments in capacity and systems including consultant and subsequent validation costs. On a continuing basis trading profit was GBP6.4m (2019: GBP17.3m), a deterioration of 63.0%. Organic trading profit on a constant currency basis fell by 42.9% to GBP12.4m. Exceptional items of GBP70.1m (2019: GBP11.3m) were incurred by the business unit with GBP54.6m (2019: GBP4.6m) of goodwill and intangible asset impairments and GBP7.2m of costs relating directly to the loss of the ConvaTec contract.
Markets
As the healthcare environment is rapidly evolving and competition increasing, the need for innovation remains a priority for healthcare companies. To address this need, companies rely on strategic partners to streamline their development processes and expedite the introduction of unique solutions to market.
Scapa Healthcare continues to focus on its innovation efforts to build a solid pipeline across all market segments leveraging our manufacturing, technology and development expertise. Through these efforts, we have developed a robust pipeline of custom solutions with over 100 projects in various stages. The expansion of our portfolio offering with topical solutions at BioMed Laboratories continues to resonate well with existing and new customers, opening multiple opportunities for product expansion and introduction of new products into the wound care, ostomy and consumer wellness markets. In Europe, the R&D, collagen and gamma sterilisation capabilities at our Gargrave site have been critical in driving customer engagement and new product innovations with market leaders. We believe our unrelenting focus on innovation continues to elevate our strategic position as the de-facto product development and manufacturing arm.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has forced the healthcare industry to adapt rapidly to fight this global pandemic. Businesses across the industry are fast-tracking creative ways to support the unprecedented high demand for products and services to protect frontline healthcare workers and the global population. Scapa Healthcare supported our customers by leveraging the FDA's waiver for the temporary manufacture of alcohol-based hand sanitisers to prepare thousands of gallons at our Windsor facility. As skin sensitivity and sanitisation concerns heighten, we will continue to work with healthcare companies to leverage our capabilities to temporarily support them with urgently needed medical products during this crisis.
Strategy
Scapa Healthcare will continue to focus on being a strategic outsource partner of choice for current and future industry leaders in Advanced Wound Care, Consumer Wellness and Medical Device Fixation. As global medical device companies increasingly rely on trusted partners across a wide range of services, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from this increasing trend towards outsourcing.
Our strategy is to become our customers' de-facto product development and manufacturing arm. We will accomplish this by delivering high-quality products, which is at the heart of everything we do; it is the foundation of trust and partnership with our customers. We have dedicated global healthcare quality teams at each site and all product development and production processes are subject to rigorous quality control measures.
We will remain focused as a business-to-business partner that supports customers in the design, manufacture, sterilisation and distribution of medical devices and topical skin care products into the Healthcare markets we serve. We will do this profitably by continuing to focus on creating value for shareholders through footprint optimisation and operational efficiencies.
Scapa Healthcare made significant progress on operational optimisation. The consolidation of the Inglewood facility into our Knoxville, Tennessee, centre of excellence was successfully completed, allowing for greater operational efficiencies through proximity and scale. In the UK, the closure of the Dunstable site was also completed and, as part of the plan, core assets were transferred from Dunstable to the Gargrave facility, thereby equipping Gargrave with additional coating capabilities. This addition has enhanced Gargrave's value proposition as an end-to-end strategic manufacturing partner for leading healthcare companies.
Our team of dedicated experts and full turn-key capabilities allow to rapidly take a product from concept to finished product and market faster than many of our partners can do internally. Our ability to innovate and deliver differentiated finished products to market faster gives our partners a sustainable competitive advantage versus their competitors. This establishes long-term partnerships, supported by multi-year contracts that provide visible and secure streams of income for the business.
Our technology transfer strategy further strengthens our partnerships as we seek to acquire technologies or assets from customers to enable them to more efficiently focus on their core business. We remain focused on the execution and implementation of our technology transfers to ensure a continual stream of revenue for future years while maximising the expectations of our customers and shareholders.
In the past year, we executed and converted two signed technology transfers into revenue. We successfully completed the transfer of manufacturing equipment from a leading consumer healthcare brand into the Knoxville facility. As we started recognising revenue from this transaction, we remained focused on operational efficiencies while supporting our customer efforts to revitalise this product line. Leveraging this experience we also secured a new technology transfer with an existing global healthcare customer to produce an additional line of products and under a multi-year exclusive supply agreement, its manufacturing equipment was moved into our Knoxville facility. The entire qualification is close to completion and we expect the transfer to be fully operational in the next financial year.
We would like to take this opportunity to recognise our employees who have gone above and beyond during the global pandemic. We have managed to maintain full production capability at all of our European and North American sites. Their dedication and commitment to supporting our customers during these unprecedented times is greatly appreciated.
Looking forward, we will continue to establish a strong platform for growth with long-term contract renewals and increased strategic engagement with our customers. In order to do so, we must focus on the total Scapa value proposition to provide full supply chain and complete product processes from design and raw material selection, through converting and packaging, to sterilisation and logistics. We will continue to expand and strengthen our current capabilities and monitor any gaps in the value chain.
Operational review - Industrial
Overview
The financial year 2020 was challenging for Scapa Industrial, especially the second half of the year where we experienced substantial market contraction in our key market segments. In the face of macro-economic challenges, coupled with the impact of COVID-19 to our end markets in the fourth quarter, the Industrial business managed to outperform most of its peers with revenues slightly below prior year (-1.9% at constant currency). The shortfall in revenue combined with an unfavourable product mix resulted in a trading profit impact that was disproportionate to the revenue drop. A near 5% of revenue reduction in Europe was replaced with revenues in lower margin regions and products. The Industrial business ended the year with a trading profit margin of 11.6%, which is still in the top tier of overall performance by our peers.
Performance
Industrial revenue of GBP168.6m (2019: GBP170.5m) was 1.1% lower (or 1.9% lower on a constant currency basis) than the prior year as a result of the adverse macro-economic conditions, particularly in the Automotive and Specialty markets, albeit there was some positive growth in the Cable and Consumer markets, with the Markel acquisition from 2017 returning growth of over 18% in revenues across the current year. The trading profit margin fell to 11.6% (2019: 13.1%) with a trading profit of GBP19.5m (2019: GBP22.3m).
Markets
The key market segments we serve in Europe and North America faced a number of macro-economic challenges as most segments had varying degrees of sluggish performance. Europe was hardest hit where we experienced a near 5% reduction in revenues with most segments affected. North America was relatively flat with revenues 1.4% below prior year mainly driven by the closure of Liverpool, US. Asia and Brazil were the bright spots for the year with combined revenues that were 10.7% above prior year.
Our Engineered Products businesses, consisting of Automotive, Cable and Specialty, had mixed levels of performance across all regions and customers.
In Automotive, the worldwide reduction in demand affected the overall business. Total revenues were 2.9% below prior year. Prior to the global shutdown of production plants, the automotive business in Europe was gaining momentum on the start-up of new projects and applications with key OEMs.
The Cable segment had a solid year with total revenues that were 5.5% above prior year. Significant double-digit growth was achieved in Europe driven by new projects and recovery of lost business. North America started the year strong but tapered off in the second half to finish the year with modest growth. Asia was slightly below prior year.
The Specialty segment experienced significant reduction of revenues mainly driven by the site closure in Liverpool, US, product line rationalisation and an overall reduction of volume at key accounts. North America was hardest hit, followed by Europe. Asia and Brazil both saw meaningful gains, albeit on a smaller scale.
Our Commercial Products businesses (Construction and Consumer) - experienced mixed results with Construction in North America generating 5% year-on-year growth driven by a resurgence of the Polyflex(R) PE product line coupled with stronger demand overall. Both Europe and Asia saw double-digit declines resulting in a 2.7% decrease in the overall segment. The Consumer segment also experienced regional variability with lower revenues in North America and Europe counteracted by significant double-digit growth in Asia. The segment overall gained 2.3% over the prior year.
Strategy
With the current challenges of the global pandemic, our priority is to provide a safe working environment for all of our employees. Our goal is to maintain and enhance our supply chain of raw materials in order to support customers to the best of our abilities.
In the near term, our focus will be to provide key products to our customers in essential businesses as well as to provide pandemic specific products such as lane marking tape, caution tape, contamination barrier tape, protective films for common touch areas and 'sticky mats' for clean rooms.
For the long term, we will continue to build on our commercial strategy to concentrate on core markets and our top 20 customers; these customers generated nearly double-digit growth in the year. For 2021, we will shift our current global commercial model to a regionalised structure to ensure increased focus, improved response times and to better leverage customer relationships. Ongoing efforts to introduce additional products and new technologies to our current customers, coupled with continued pursuit of cross-selling opportunities in adjacent markets, will create additional opportunities to grow the Industrial business.
Our global team of R&D chemists and material scientists, backed by our supply chain management team, are able to identify, source, develop and commercialise market need-driven technologies and products. Our proprietary product development process ensures constant communication with the target customers and the commercial team to ensure proper commercialisation and launch of new products.
Our manufacturing sites continue to optimise and improve manufacturing processes and quality standards. All of the sites made meaningful gains in various operational benchmarks. Ongoing investments helped improve technical capabilities and safety standards. The state-of-the-art PVC coating line became operational in Chennai, India, and commercial production started in late 2019 to service local customers.
We would like to take this opportunity to recognise our employees who have gone above and beyond during the global pandemic. We have managed to maintain full production capability at all of our European and North American sites. Their dedication and commitment to supporting our customers during these unprecedented times is greatly appreciated.
As we look forward, we are convinced that we are poised and ready to face any challenge the future may bring, confident that we will all be stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Chief Financial Officer's review
Dear shareholder
It has been a challenging year for the business following the loss of the ConvaTec contract from June 2019, but despite this the Group has continued to grow and this resilience has enabled solid cash management performance, whilst still allowing us to make significant progress on our operational footprint plans.
The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic has also focused the Group on strengthening its Balance Sheet. Post period, the Group secured an additional GBP15.0m funding from its existing banking syndicate, an equity placement of GBP32.6m (approximately 20% of the issued share capital at date of placement) and worked with the Trustees to defer the UK pension capital reserve biannual payment. We have also worked collaboratively with employees to ensure that the Group's sites continue to operate safely and effectively.
The Board has recommended that no dividend is declared this year to support this process of strengthening the Balance Sheet.
Revenue and profits
The financial results have been prepared under IFRS and the Group's accounting policies.
Statutory Group revenue increased 2.8% to GBP320.6m (2019: GBP311.8m) and revenue on a constant currency basis grew 1.1%.
Despite the loss of the ConvaTec contract, Healthcare revenues grew 7.6% to GBP152.0m (2019: GBP141.3m) and 4.5% on a constant currency basis. This growth benefited from the full year impact of the acquisition of Systagenix in October 2018 and the revenue relating to the Crawford acquisition from July 2019 onwards. On an organic basis Healthcare revenues declined by 9.8% but this improves to a growth of 10.2% if we exclude the impact of the ConvaTec contract, showing that the underlying business has continued to perform well for Healthcare.
Industrial revenue of GBP168.6m (2019: GBP170.5m) was 1.1% less due to the adverse macro conditions particularly affecting the Automotive and Specialty tapes segments; on a constant currency basis this year-on-year decline increases to 1.9%.
The Group statutory operating loss was GBP47.3m (2019: profit of GBP16.8m) following a number of exceptional items relating to the loss of the ConvaTec contract, ongoing operational footprint improvements, and goodwill and intangible asset impairments following the IAS 36 impairment review. As a Group which reports its results at 31 March 2020, the Group has taken into account the likely impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic when assessing the likely future cash flow generation for its various sites and this, along with the increased macro risk environment, has resulted in an increase to the Group's discount rate with impairments totalling GBP54.6m.
In order to monitor the performance of the Group on a consistent basis, the Group uses certain alternative performance measures which enable it to assess the underlying performance of its business and assist shareholders in better understanding this performance. The Group's key financial performance metric is 'Trading profit', which is operating profit before exceptional items, acquisition costs, amortisation of intangible assets and legacy pension costs. Excluding these items from trading profit metrics provides readers with helpful additional information on the performance of the business across periods because it is consistent with how business performance is planned by and reported to the Board. The reconciliation between trading profit and operating profit is shown below:
Reconciliation between trading profit and operating loss
GBPm

Trading profit 27.8
-------------------- ------
Amortisation (5.8)
Exceptional items (68.4)
Pension admin costs (0.7)
Acquisition costs (0.2)
-------------------- ------
Operating loss (47.3)
-------------------- ------
Trading profit decreased 27.2% to GBP27.8m (2019: GBP38.2m) and on a continuing basis was GBP20.5m (2019: GBP34.6m). Trading profit margins on a statutory basis are 8.7% (2019: 12.3%) and fall to 6.5% on a continuing basis.
Healthcare trading profit of GBP13.7m (2019: GBP20.9m) was 34.4% lower and on a continuing basis was GBP6.4m (2019: GBP17.3m). Organic statutory trading profit on a constant currency basis is down 42.9% at GBP12.4m; the trading profit margin for Healthcare was 9.0% (2019: 14.8%), weakened by the loss of the ConvaTec contract.
Industrial trading profit of GBP19.5m (2019: GBP22.3m) was 12.6% lower with the trading margin falling to 11.6% (2019: 13.1%) due to the impact of the reduction in volume and margin mix following the macro-economic challenges.
Profit before tax
The Group made a loss before tax of GBP51.0m (2019: profit before tax of GBP14.9m), with the fall in results due largely to the exceptional items shown above. The adjusted profit before tax was GBP26.1m (2019: GBP36.8m).
Currency
Currency translation had an overall beneficial impact for the Group during the current year and the impact of this when applied to the 2019 results would be to increase sales by 1.7% and trading profit by 2.3%.
Exceptional and non-trading adjusted items
Exceptional costs of GBP68.4m (2019: GBP12.8m) were booked in the period.
The loss of the ConvaTec contract resulted in exceptional costs totalling GBP7.2m comprising the write-off of specific inventory of GBP4.6m, severance costs of GBP0.1m, legal costs of GBP1.0m and other costs of GBP1.5m. In addition, goodwill impairments of GBP9.0m were booked for sites affected by the loss of the ConvaTec contract.
The closure of the UK Dunstable site was finalised during the year and the preparation for the closure of one of the sites in the US to move into our new Knoxville facility has been ongoing during the current year resulting in exceptional costs of GBP6.7m. A further GBP0.7m was recognised as exceptional due to the restructuring of the recently acquired Systagenix site and costs of GBP0.6m relating to an aborted development contract.
As mentioned above, on an annual basis the Group assesses the recoverability of all goodwill, intangible and asset balances. At 31 March 2020 the discounted cash flows for five sites did not support the goodwill associated with the acquisitions totalling an overall impairment of GBP54.6m. Two of these related to the loss of the ConvaTec contract (GBP9.0m) with a further GBP45.6m of goodwill and intangible write-offs largely driven by an increased risk assessed discount rate and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group, alongside a weaker financial performance for the BioMed site in Texas, which was acquired in March 2018, due to higher one off costs following major investments in capacity and systems including consultant and subsequent validation costs.
The Board commenced a review of operations to optimise the performance of the Group, which incurred exceptional fees of GBP0.7m, and there was also an exceptional gain of GBP2.4m as a result of the buy-out of one of the US defined benefit pension schemes in March 2020. Scapa UK Ltd has booked a provision of GBP0.3m in anticipation of an HSE penalty.
The Group has adjusted the trading profit for the following non-trading items as shown in the previous column in the Reconciliation between trading profit and operating loss:
-- amortisation of intangible assets of GBP5.8m;
-- pension administration costs for the legacy UK scheme of GBP0.7m; and
-- acquisition costs of GBP0.2m incurred in the period relating to the acquisition of Crawford and other aborted acquisitions.

Net debt to EBITDA
The Group has a revolving credit facility of GBP80.0m committed with a further GBP20.0m uncommitted accordion until October 2022. Following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a further 12-month facility of GBP15.0m was entered into in June 2020 with the existing banking syndicate to provide additional headroom for the Group. Furthermore, an equity placement of GBP32.6m gross equating to approximately 20% of the issued share capital was also completed in May 2020. This significantly strengthens the Balance Sheet.
At the end of the year adjusted net debt was GBP54.4m (2019: GBP43.7m) and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA was 1.88 times. However, the RCF is on frozen GAAP and so excludes the impact of IFRS 16 Leases; therefore the ratio for the banking covenant was 1.46 times, well within the covenant of 3.0 times.

Taxation
The adjusted effective tax rate was 26.4% (2019: 20.9%) with a headline effective tax rate of 2.9%, resulting in a tax credit of GBP1.5m (2019: charge of GBP6.7m) and includes a GBP6.9m (2019: GBP7.7m) charge on trading activities and GBP8.4m credit (2019: GBP1.0m credit) on exceptional and non-trading activities.
The Group's effective tax rate is a blend of the different national rates from the operating subsidiaries in the various countries in which we operate, applied to locally generated profits. Although the other national rates applied to local profits are generally higher than the UK standard rate, the Group also benefits from unrecognised tax losses in the UK along with sensible and compliant tax planning.
The Group's cash tax payment in the year was GBP3.3m (2019: GBP7.8m).
Earnings per share
Adjusted earnings per share fell to 12.4p (2019: 18.9p) and basic earnings per share fell to a loss of 31.9p (2019: earnings of 5.3p) as a result of the impairments and footprint restructuring costs in the period.
Pension
The Balance Sheet value of the Group's defined pension schemes was a deficit of GBP6.1m (2019: GBP8.4m) at the end of March 2020. This deficit relates to schemes that have been closed for many years, and some small overseas leaving indemnities that are classed as defined benefit. The majority of the post-retirement benefit schemes for employees are defined contribution.
The UK pension scheme is now in a surplus position at GBP4.2m. However, the Group is not recognising this surplus in line with IASB IFRIC 14 guidance; therefore the UK scheme is held at a value of GBPNil (2019: deficit of GBP2.2m). The Group reached agreement with the Trustees for a deferral of the March contributions (GBP2.0m) following the COVID-19 outbreak and this is held as restricted cash on the Balance Sheet at the end of March 2020. It will be paid into the scheme during FY21, with the timing subject to a contractual agreement; hence the contributions into the scheme for 2020 were GBP2.2m (2019: GBP4.0m) as a result of the 2012 Central Asset Reserve (CAR) structure.
During the year the Group achieved a full buy-out of one of the US defined benefit schemes resulting in a return of surplus contributions of GBP0.6m and an exceptional gain of GBP2.4m recognised on the Income Statement.
UK departure from the EU
As a global company, with over 82% of the Group's activity outside of the UK, Scapa has limited exposure to the implications of the UK departure from the EU and the Board continues to closely monitor the situation to assess any potential changes as they emerge, in particular relating to customs and duties and foreign exchange impact, including a no-deal departure.
Risk management and the year ahead
Risk is managed closely and is spread across our businesses and managed to individual materiality. We have a Code of Conduct, which is adopted internationally and reflects our ethical approach to business. The Board has considered all of the above factors in its review of going concern and has been able to conclude the review satisfactorily.

Notes on the accounts
1. Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020. While the financial information included in this preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted for use in the EU, this announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRSs. The Group expects to publish full financial statements that comply with IFRSs in June 2020.

2. Segmental reporting
Business unit segments
The Group operates two standalone business units, Healthcare and Industrial, supported by a strategic Corporate function. All inter-segment transactions are made on an arm's length basis.
The Board relies primarily on turnover and trading profit to assess the performance of the Group and makes decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment; assets and liabilities are looked at geographically. Trading profit is reconciled to operating profit on the face of the Income Statement.
The Board reviews the performance of the business using information presented at constant exchange rates. The prior year results have been restated at constant currency as shown on the following pages.

Exceptional operating income
An exceptional gain of GBP2.4m was booked as a result of the buy-out of one of the USA defined benefit pension schemes in March 2020.
The prior year exceptional operating income related to the release of deferred consideration due to the projected future performance of BioMed Laboratories LLC.
Exceptional operating expenses
The loss of the ConvaTec contract resulted in exceptional costs totalling GBP7.2m including the write-off of specific inventory of GBP4.6m, severance costs of GBP0.1m, legal costs of GBP1.0m and other costs of GBP1.5m.
Site closure and reorganisation costs of GBP8.0m includes GBP6.7m of costs for the closure of the Dunstable site which was finalised during the year along with the preparation for the closure of one of the sites in the USA to move into our new Knoxville facility which has been ongoing during the current year, with a further GBP0.7m for restructuring of the recently acquired Systagenix site and GBP0.6m relating to an aborted development contract.
On an annual basis the Group assesses the recoverability of all goodwill, intangible and asset balances. At 31 March 2020 the discounted cash flows for five sites did not support the goodwill associated with their acquisition resulting in an overall impairment of GBP54.6m (goodwill GBP52.2m, intangible assets GBP2.1m, fixed asset impairment GBP0.3m). Two of these impaired sites related to the loss of the ConvaTec contract (GBP9.0m goodwill write-down) with a further GBP46.5m of goodwill and intangible assets impaired as a result of the increased risk associated with the cash flow forecasts as assessed within the discount rate and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group alongside a weaker financial performance for the BioMed site in Texas, which was acquired in March 2018.
Scapa UK Ltd has been charged under Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. A guilty plea has been entered at Luton Magistrates' Court in respect of this offence and the financial penalty in relation to this offence will be determined in August 2020; we have created a provision of GBP0.3m in anticipation of the penalty.
The Board also undertook a strategic review of the Group during the year incurring one-off exceptional fees of GBP0.7m.
The prior year exceptional operating items included GBP11.7m for site closures and restructuring costs, GBP2.3m for asset write-offs as a result of these site closures and GBP4.6m of goodwill impairment for the Ramsbury site following delays and subsequent cancellation in a major customer product launch. Pension GMP equalisation costs of GBP1.0m were also recognised in the prior year following the Lloyds High Court case on the recognition of GMP in UK pension scheme liabilities.

At the Balance Sheet date, the Group has unused tax losses of GBP30.6m (2019: GBP28.5m) available for offset against future profits. A deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of GBP18.5m (2019: GBP9.4m) of such losses, based on management forecasts of future taxable profits looking forward 3 years against which the assets can be recovered in the relevant jurisdictions. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the remaining GBP12.1m (2019: GBP19.1m) of such losses where there remains uncertainty over the timing of utilisation relating to future profitability. The majority of losses may be carried forward indefinitely.
Tax assets amounting to GBP10.1m (2019: GBP7.9m) have not been recognised due to the uncertainty over the utilisation of the underlying tax losses in each jurisdiction.

9. Earnings per share
Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares 158,600,100 (2019: 158,386,377). Diluted earnings per share has been calculated including share options in existence at 31 March 2020.
Adjusted
Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the trading profit less interest on bank borrowings less tax on operating activities by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

10. Dividend per share
The Group does not propose a dividend for the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: 2.9p) as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the global COVID-19 pandemic as the Group aims to further strengthen its Balance Sheet.
11. Acquisition of subsidiary
On 1 July 2019 First Water Ltd acquired 100% of the share capital of Crawford Manufacturing Ltd. Crawford is a manufacturer of advanced wound care products and was acquired to support the technology transfer activities of the Group. The company is based in Tarvin, Cheshire, UK.
The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below:

The goodwill and intangibles of GBP1.1m arising on consolidation from the acquisition do not give rise to any deductible amounts for tax purposes in the UK. Acquisition-related costs amounted to GBP0.1m. There was a further GBP0.1m of abortive acquisition costs incurred during the year to 31 March 2020 reported separately on the Income Statement together with the GBP0.1m of Crawford Manufacturing Ltd acquisition costs.
Following the acquisition of Crawford Manufacturing Ltd, a product line was discontinued and with these cash flows removed the subsequent IAS 36 impairment review resulted in a write-down of the goodwill by GBP0.7m to GBPNil.
Crawford Manufacturing Ltd contributed GBP0.9m of revenue and GBP0.3m loss to Group profit between the date of acquisition and 31 March 2020.
On 1 October 2018 First Water Ltd acquired 100% of the share capital of Systagenix Wound Management Manufacturing Ltd. As at 31 March 2019 the Group reported the provisional net assets acquired.
As disclosed in the interim accounts, during the year to 31 March 2020 additional liabilities of GBP1.1m were identified within the hindsight period and the final acquisition balance sheet is reported below.

In the year ended 31 March 2020, the carrying value of the Group's goodwill is not subject to annual amortisation and is tested for impairment at March 2020 in line with IAS 36. As a result of this impairment test the goodwill was impaired for Webtec by GBP5.5m, Markel Industries GBP3.4m, BioMed Laboratories GBP14.3m, Systagenix GBP28.2m and Crawford GBP0.7m.
The recoverable amount has been determined on a value in use basis on each cash-generating unit using the Board approved twelve-month forecasts for each cash-generating unit. Given the timing of the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Group's forecasts were also adjusted to reflect management's best estimate of the future impact on cash flows of the Group.
The base twelve-month projection, encompassing management's best estimate of the impact of COVID-19 on trade for each CGU, is inflated in year 2 to reflect 90% of the pre-COVID-19 budget for the year ending 31 March 2022. This is reflective of the management assessment of the recovery in trade post COVID-19 pandemic. Between year 2 and 5, the models are based on inflation between 0% and 3%, which management believes does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry, and then is subject to a 0% to 1% growth and cost inflation through to year 20 with a terminal value calculated on a perpetuity basis.
These cash flows are discounted at a pre-tax discounting rate ranging between approximately 15.0% and 18.1% (2019: 10%), being the geographical and market-based discount rate assessed as being suitable for each cash-generating unit. The Group discount rates have significantly risen during the current year partly as a result of the macro economy given the uncertainty around Brexit and the impact of quantitative easing, the additional return anticipated from investors for taking on risk associated with a smaller company and the impact for the reduction in market capitalisation for the Group, plus an increase in the risk premium applied for the Group following the loss of a significant contract during the year.
The Group has conducted a sensitivity analysis on the impairment test based on high externally assessed pre-tax discount rates of approximately 17.0% to 20.1% which results in an additional impairment of GBP14.7m across the sites already impacted in the goodwill movements booked in March 2020. No additional cash-generating unit is impacted by this high level risk sensitivity. However, the Board is confident that the discount rates applied are sufficiently risk adjusted and are confident of the future growth opportunities for these sites to support the carrying values of the cash-generating units and that no further impairment is required.

The Group has not revalued any item of property, plant and equipment. Impairment of property, plant and equipment of GBP0.6m relates to the closure of sites in Korea (GBP0.4m) and the US (GBP0.2m), the loss of the ConvaTec contract of GBP0.5m and GBP0.3m for BioMed Laboratories as the forecasted cash flow did not support the asset value at 31 March 2020 (2019: GBP2.3m closure of UK site (GBP1.6m), US (GBP0.5m) and Korea (GBP0.2m)).
During the year ended 31 March 2019 there were no events or changes in circumstance that would indicate the carrying value of property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable.

In October 2017 the Group entered into a revolving credit facility (RCF) with a banking syndicate. The principal features of the facility are:
-- the initial committed value of the facility is GBP70m;
-- there is access to an accordion of GBP30m, of which GBP10m has been accessed;
-- it is unsecured;
-- it is repayable in October 2022;
-- the interest payable on drawings under the loan is based on inter-bank interest plus a sliding scale margin determined by the Group's leverage - the margin is currently 1.35%; and
-- the facility has two covenants - the ratio of EBITDA to interest paid must be above 4:1, and the ratio of EBITDA to net debt must be less than 3.0.
-- during June 2020 a further GBP15.0m facility has been agreed which includes two additional covenants - minimum EBITDA and minimum liquidity.
The carrying value of borrowings is approximate to their fair value. The effective interest rates at the Balance Sheet date were as follows:
%
------------------------------------------ ----
31 March 2020 - Bank loans and overdrafts 2.0%
------------------------------------------ ----

Movements in forward currency contracts used to hedge against the exposure to exchange differences due to the timing of cash flows are taken through the Income Statement as it is not Group policy to hedge account for these instruments. At 31 March 2020 there were no assets or liabilities recognised in the Balance Sheet relating to the fair values of forward foreign exchange contracts in place (2019: GBPNil).

Reorganisation and leasehold commitments
The GBP8.9m (2019: GBP14.4m) reorganisation and leasehold commitments provision relates to dilapidations for leasehold property of GBP2.9m (2019: GBP2.3m), GBP0.1m (2019: GBP0.1m) in relation to reorganisation costs, GBP3.5m relating to site closures in the UK and the US, GBP2.1m relating to acquisition provisions for BioMed Laboratories LLC and Systagenix Wound Management Manufacturing Ltd and GBP0.3m relating to the potential HSE penalty. The expected utilisation of these provisions ranges between one and three years.
Contract liability provision
The GBP25.0m (2019: GBP32.2m) contract liability provision relates to the acquisition of Systagenix Wound Management Manufacturing Ltd in October 2018. This provision will be released on a straight-line basis over a five-year period, in line with the exclusive supply contract.
Environmental provisions
Environmental provisions relate to expected costs required to clean up environmental contamination on a Europe site of GBP0.1m (2019: GBP0.1m). The Group expects the majority of the spend against the environmental provisions to be incurred over the next two years.
Tax provision

Contingent asset
On 10 July 2019, Scapa Tapes North America LLC filed a complaint against ConvaTec Inc in the state of Connecticut for breach of a material supply agreement alleging damages of $83.81m and a declaratory judgement requesting a court ruling that a non-compete provision in the agreement is legally impermissible. Scapa Tapes North America maintains its position robustly asserting its claim for breach of contract and declaratory judgement. Claims raised by ConvaTec Inc against Scapa Group plc and Scapa Tapes North America LLC in New Jersey have been dismissed. ConvaTec Inc has reasserted certain contract breach, declaratory judgment and other claims against Scapa Group plc and Scapa Tapes North America LLC in Connecticut in response to the complaint Scapa North America LLC files. No asset has been recognised in relation to this case on the grounds that recovery is not deemed virtually certain at this point in time.
