H C Slingsby plc
("Slingsby" or "the Company")
Report for the half year ended 30 June 2022
Statement by the Chairman
Trading
In my trading update of 21 June 2022, I reported that Group sales in the five months to 31 May 2022 were 8% higher than prior year but that gross margin was lower, meaning that unaudited profit before tax was GBP0.17m compared to GBP0.07m in the prior year. We were cautious regarding the outlook due to the significant uncertainty remaining from the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, the impact that high inflation may have on the UK economy and the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine.
I am pleased to report that Group sales in the six months to 30 June 2022 were 10% higher than in the same period in 2021. This increase in sales offset the continuation in the trend regarding gross margin and higher overhead costs and led to an unaudited profit before tax of GBP0.24m in the six months ended 30 June 2022 compared to an unaudited profit before tax of GBP0.1m in the same period in 2021.
The market remains competitive, and it remains unclear what impact the aforementioned factors will have on demand going forward. The Group continues to experience cost inflation across most areas of its business (goods, freight and overheads) and there is a risk that the UK economy will enter recession in H2 2022. There is also heightened potential for credit related issues should customers become insolvent.
Balance sheet
The Group had net assets of GBP4.68m at 30 June 2022 (GBP1.96m at 30 June 2021) compared to net assets of GBP2.26m at 31 December 2021. This improvement is mostly due to a decrease in the liability relating to the defined benefit pension scheme of GBP2.2m (after associated deferred tax). The retirement benefit obligation decreased during the six months to 30 June 2022 due to an increase in the discount rate used by the scheme actuary. This has the impact of decreasing scheme liabilities, which outweighed a decrease in the value of scheme assets. The Company made deficit reduction contributions totalling GBP159,000 in the six months to 30 June 2022 in line with the agreement with the scheme's Trustee.
Cashflow
The Group had net cash of GBP0.5m at 30 June 2022 (GBP0.8m at 30 June 2021) compared to GBP0.3m at 31 December 2021. The Group continues to operate within its existing banking facilities and the Directors continue to believe that the Group has additional funding options available should the need arise.
Dividend
Due to the uncertain outlook, the Board has decided not to declare an interim dividend. It remains the Board's intention to re-commence dividend payments to shareholders as soon as it is prudent to do so.
People
We would like to thank our employees for their hard work and flexibility during continued challenging times.
