CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half year ended 31st October 2021

 

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

The pre-tax profit for the Group for the first six month period ending 31st October 2021 was £7.7 million (2020: £5.8 million) on a revenue of £69 million.

At the half year the Group's workload remains steady at £156 million and does not yet contain some of the major projects that the Mechanical Engineering Division has confidently been pursuing within the military, nuclear waste re-processing and surveillance markets.

The Refractory Engineering Division has delivered a strong performance and its activity continues to travel on an upward trajectory, delivering like-for-like sales growth of 40%.  With the recent acquisitions now generating revenue; our end user markets growing; our research and development investment programmes in the fire protection and construction products now gaining traction in their respective markets, the Division currently represents 40% of the Group's revenue.  The Division's focus on price increases, global sourcing, network capabilities and operational footprint has enabled it to date to manage the price pressures and supply chain disruptions.

The Mechanical Engineering Division has experienced low levels of activity due to customer approval delays on documentation for cast and machined products going into complex stakeholder environments. This, coupled with navigating supply availability and increased energy costs (with there being a time lag before such costs can be passed on to the end users), has impacted both sales and profitability in the first six months of the year. We now have in place fixed price energy contracts that go out until June 2023 that will remove the extreme spikes in energy prices that were seen in September 2021.  A pragmatic approach has also been taken to highlight and reduce the amount of red tape and address the increased costs of production that will enable efficient production, moving forward, of orders in hand.

The Group's net debt stands at £34.8 million (31st October 2020: £31.1 million) with a relatively moderate level of gearing of 31.7%.  During the six month period just completed, the Group's cash generation has been reduced by the requirement of additional working capital as new projects start to ramp up.  Furthermore, the Group has proceeded as planned with its investment programme that is spread across both Divisions, including projects that will reduce its carbon footprint and its reliance on the energy markets, details of which will be released in the next Annual Report.

2021/22 Outlook

Even with the expectation of an increased order input over the next six months, we expect the second half year pre-tax profits of this financial year to be possibly slightly better than the first half and for the benefit of increased activity and profitability to be realised over the next eighteen months.

This improvement is a feature of the strategic transformation of the foundry and its progress in creating an efficient environment to deliver high volume, high quality products for nuclear waste and cast naval components for its new customer base following the decline of its traditional oil and gas business.  Furthermore, whilst we continue to experience inflationary pressures, the offsetting benefit of increased selling prices will be recognised within the next financial year.

The momentum within the Refractory Engineering Division shows no signs of slowing and the Group's eight companies supplying consumables to the jewellery casting, fire protection and construction sectors are well placed moving forward to continue to deliver strong results subject to raw material availability and consumer demand.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Group, mainly through its centralised management structure, makes best endeavours to have in place internal control procedures to identify and manage the key risks and uncertainties affecting the Group. We would refer you to pages 12 to 13 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2021 which describe the principal risks and uncertainties, and to note 26 (starting on page 73) which describes in detail the key financial risks and uncertainties affecting the business such as credit risk and foreign exchange risk.

Judging the future relationship of the major currency pairs of the US Dollar, Sterling and the Euro continues to be a challenge.

The Group (see page 76 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2021) has mitigated the impact of rising interest rates by fixing the effective base rate at less than 1% for a notional £30 million of debt for the next ten years.

Report on Expected Developments

This report describes the expected developments of the Group during the year ended 30th April 2022. The report may contain forward-looking statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, financial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. Many of these factors are outside the Group's control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.

Going concern

The Group once again continues to trade profitably and with the current order book level we are confident that this will continue and improve, especially as we move in to the next financial year. Whereas many companies have struggled with the impacts of Covid-19, the Group has remained open to carry on with its value added activities.  As in previous periods, the levels of depreciation and amortisation (both non cash items) remain significant thus masking the true cash generating capability of the Group.  As at 31st October 2021, the Group net debt stood at £34.8 million (31st Oct 2020 £31.1 million) as set out in note 10 to these accounts.  Whilst the net debt levels are higher than those recorded as at April 2021 and October 2020 the gearing level at 31.7% is still modest and the Board considers that the banking headroom (facilities versus utilisation) is acceptable. Given the foregoing, the Directors do not see an issue with the continued ability of the Group to meet its financial commitments and so have drawn up these accounts on a going concern basis.

 

Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the half-yearly financial report

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that 1) this condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the United Kingdom and that 2) the Interim Management Report and condensed financial statements include a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R (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 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the 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).

Notes

to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1.         Reporting entity

Goodwin PLC (the "Company") is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31st October 2021 comprise the Company, its subsidiaries, and the Group's interests in associates (together referred to as the "Group").

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2021 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR or via the Company's web site:  www.goodwin.co.uk.

 

2.         Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted in the United Kingdom.  They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2021.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th April 2021 are extracts and not the full Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The Audit Committee has reviewed these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has advised the Board of Directors that, taken as a whole, they are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's half year performance.  These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 15th December 2021.

3.         Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2021. The changes in accounting policies are to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 30th April 2022.

The following amendments became effective and therefore were adopted by the Group.

·      Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS4 and IFRS 16)

The above amendments have not had a material impact on profit, earnings per share and net assets.

New IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted

The IASB and IFRIC have issued additional standards and amendments which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements. The following amendments have not yet been adopted by the Group:

· Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment: proceeds before intended use (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022)

The Group does not expect the above amendments to have a material impact on profit, earnings per share and net assets in future periods.

4.         Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2021.

The tax charge in the period is based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period, and the impact of any disallowed costs.

5.         Operating Segments

Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", the Group's reportable segments, based on information reported to the Group's Board of Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance, are as follows:

•              Mechanical Engineering      - casting, machining, pumps, surveillance and general engineering

•              Refractory Engineering        - jewellery investment casting powder and mineral processing

Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported in the following tables.

The forward exchange and interest rate SWAP contract assets and liabilities fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as defined by IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below.

IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:  Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
