Headlines

·    Revenue up 9% at $61.9m against 2021.

·    Operating profit of $7.2m up from $4m in 2021, partly due to the continued cost reduction program implemented in 2018.

·    Net debt reduced in last 12 months by $10.8m (66%) to $5.6m driven by the cost reduction program, improved trading, dynamic inventory management and reduced finance costs.

 

Chief Executive, Alison Goff commented on the half year position:

 

"This is an encouraging set of results following on from the growth in 2021. Revenue has continued to grow delivering a higher than expected operating profit, in what is seasonally, our weakest half of the year.

Quarto had strong sales in the first half of 2022 across both its UK and US segments.   

Quarto UK continued the momentum from last year with 10% revenue growth up $2.5m to $27.2m, with operating profit up $1m to $3.1m. Strong business to business sales were a key driver together with a solid trade performance. Bestsellers within the period include The Queen, a new title in 2022 in our very successful Little People Big Dreams series, as well as National Parks of the USA which was published in 2018. My Beautiful Voice by Joseph Coelho which was published in 2021, was the winner of the Indie Book Award 2022 in the picture book category. We were also awarded the IPG Sustainability Award for our Ivy Kids Imprint, which has set new sustainability standards in publishing.

Quarto US saw an 8% revenue growth up $2.6m to $34.7m, again driven by strong business to business sales. Operating profit also increased by 8% to $4.1m. Custom sales grew in excess of 120% in the period as we continued to focus on utilising our intellectual property of existing titles. We continue to see Beautiful Boards and All New Square Foot Gardening perform strongly.

 

We are now focused on the second half of the year, which will be a critical time for Quarto, as we expect the trading environment to be particularly challenging. This is due to the current high cost of living and continued volatility in freight, in respect to capacity issues resulting in higher freight costs. However, I am confident we have the right plans in place to capture all possible opportunities to ensure a satisfactory year-end position.

The Board remains focused on continuing its efforts to keep costs under control, drive sales, whilst maintaining the debt reduction and developing further growth strategies for the remainder of 2022, 2023 and beyond."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Trading was encouraging for the first six months of 2022.  Revenue was up 9% year on year at $61.9m following on from the growth in 2021(H1 2021: $56.9m). Revenue increased year on year in 2021 by 21% (H1 2020: $46.9m).

 

Our Adult imprints performed strongly, with revenues up 12% year on year. Revenues from Children imprints was also up 6% year on year. Gross profit margin was ahead of prior year at 36.4% (H1 2021: 31.8%) driven by a reduction in pre-publication amortization, despite pressure on print and freight costs.

 

The increased revenues and substantial benefits from the cost reduction program initiated in late 2018 that continued through the pandemic, resulted in an adjusted group operating profit of $7.2m (H1 2021: $4.0m). The adjusted profit before tax was $6.6m (H1 2021: $3.1m).

 

Both our US and UK reporting segments improved their trading performance year on year, resulting in a significant improvement in the Group's adjusted operating result, as shown in the table below.

 

Net debt at 30 June 2022 was $5.6m (H1 2020: $16.4m) a decrease of $10.8m over the twelve-month period, with minimal movement in the last 6 months (See note 7.) This strong cash generation has been driven by the improved trading, dynamic inventory management, cost reduction program and reduced finance costs.

 

The book trade market in the first six months of 2022 proved to be resilient, continuing the recovery seen in 2021. The co-edition market also performed strongly year on year.

Note: Revenue is shown by destination; adjusted operating profit is shown by segment.

 

The Group's increase in revenue this year to date, is a result of strong business to business sales. Whilst our sales to traditional retailer and specialists accounts have seen growth, online sales have decreased year on year.

 

UK-based Frances Lincoln Children's Books imprint continues to drive forward, with the Little People, Big Dreams series continuing to be a highlight, with over 6 million copies sold in the English language to date. We have expanded the list to include inspirational role models such as Marcus Rashford, Nelson Mandela and the continuing success of David Attenborough.

 

In the US, our New York-based Adult imprints, especially Chartwell, Wellfleet Press and Rock Point, continue to perform strongly led by Beautiful Boards and MBS titles.

 

Co-edition is ahead of prior year both in English and Foreign language however, as we move into H2, we are expecting this to be a challenging market.

 

In respect to Custom, we have seen new opportunities driving revenue growth and we expect this to become a larger part of our business-to-business revenue in the latter half of 2022 and the coming years.

 

International English language sales are up year on year, driven predominantly by Canada, with sales to Australia down year on year.

 

We continue to see a reduction in our financing costs, as we drive down the Group's net debt.

 

OUTLOOK

 

As we move into H2 this financial year, we expect to see a turbulent second half of the year, with the cost-of-living crisis impacting both the US and UK trade sales. We are also seeing a sharper fall in online sales than expected, impacted not only by the increased cost of living, but as the consumer returns to purchase books from the traditional book stores. Business to business sales is continuing to hold firm, with particular growth through the custom channel. However, we expect this channel to become increasingly more challenging.

 

We have taken the decision to close our Distribution Service, where we provide Sales & Logistic services for third party customers, which will start to impact our sales from July 2022. We have also decided to sell Smart Lab, our Toy imprint, in order to focus on our core publishing business.

 

Whilst the volatility in freight has reduced, costs remain at the high levels of last year, along with pressure on print prices. We continue to try to mitigate these costs and have actively increased our use of local print suppliers as well as review our inventory policy, to ensure we print at the most efficient quantities. We expect this pressure on print and freight to continue for the foreseeable future.  

 

However, I am confident we have the right plans in place to capture all possible opportunities to ensure a satisfactory year-end position. The Board remains focused on continuing its efforts to keep costs under control, drive sales, whilst maintaining the debt reduction and developing further growth strategies for the remainder of 2022, 2023 and beyond.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all our staff, readers, customers, suppliers and shareholders around the world, for their continued support and commitment.

Notes to the condensed financial statements

 

1. Interim Statement

 

These interim consolidated financial statements are for the half year to 30 June 2022. They were approved by the board on 30 August 2022. These results are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Group's auditor. The comparative figures for the six months to 30 June 2021 were unaudited and derived from the interim financial statements for that period.

 

The information for the year ended 31 December 2021 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

The Group's forecast and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group will be able to operate well within the level of its current banking facilities. The Directors have therefore adopted a going concern basis in preparing the Interim Information.

 

2. Accounting policies

 

The accounting policies, significant judgements and key sources of estimation adopted in the preparation of this Interim Report are consistent with those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
