Braime Group PLC
("Braime" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries
the "Group")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30th June 2020
The Company presents its unaudited interims results for the six
months ended 30 June 2020:
Performance
Group sales revenue for the first six months of 2020 fell 5.6%
to GBP16.1m when compared to GBP17.1m for the same period in 2019,
while profit before tax decreased to GBP372,000 compared to GBP1.1m
for the same period in 2019. In view of the havoc that the Covid-19
pandemic has wreaked on the global economy, the directors are
pleased to report that sales volumes have held up better than
expected. In the first quarter of the year, as country after
country went into lockdown, our subsidiaries resolutely found ways
to maintain operations, where necessary at times operating remotely
from home. We have thus as a Group remained open throughout the
pandemic and continued to serve and supply our customers. However,
there is not much scope for reducing our base costs without cutting
into our core business, and therefore the reduction in sales has
had a direct consequence on our profitability. During this
difficult time, we have carefully sought to avoid short-term
cost-stripping which we consider would harm future strategic
growth, whilst tactically managing our cashflow which has remained
positive.
Dividends
In line with the Group's policy to maintain dividend growth,
balanced alongside the Group's requirement for investment in
capital to support long term growth, the directors have decided to
increase the interim dividend to 4.00p per share. This dividend
will be paid on 16th October 2020 to the Ordinary and 'A' Ordinary
shareholders on the register on the 2nd October 2020. The
associated ex-dividend date is 1st October 2020.
Braime Pressings Limited
External sales revenue of GBP2.0m in the first 6 months of 2020
was slightly up on the same period last year as customers increased
orders for replacement parts. Intercompany sales also increased by
GBP268,000. The manufacturing division made a small loss of
GBP34,000 for the period as price competition remains high in the
automotive sector. At the beginning of the year the business
recruited a new sales manager to develop new markets however his
activities were severely curtailed as a result of the lockdown
restrictions and prospecting has only just recommenced.
4B Division
Our distribution division's external sales revenue of GBP14.2m
fell by 6.6% when compared to GBP15.2m for the same period last
year. Nonetheless, management consider this to be very positive
results, given the economic upheaval of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Intercompany trading reduced by 17.2% to GBP2.4m (GBP2.9m for the
same period in 2019). This downturn is partly a result of the
impact of Covid-19 but also due to the fact that the prior year
sales were boosted by additional trading in the light of Brexit
preparations. We are pleased to see strong growth in 4B Australia
which is 10% above the same period last year. The freeze in US-Sino
relations has continued to affect our subsidiary in China but we
believe in its strategic location for future growth. The GBP1.0m
reduction in external sales has directly impacted profit, with
profit after tax for the 4B division for the six-month period
reduced to GBP307,000 as compared to GBP883,000 for the same period
last year.
Balance Sheet
Total net assets as at 30th June 2020 amount to GBP14.9m (30th
June 2019 - GBP13.9m). Capital asset additions of GBP855,000 during
the period relate primarily to the land purchased in Villers
Bretonneux together with the warehouse under construction of
GBP548,000 for 4B France, as announced earlier in the year. Other
additions relate to the purchase of a 400-ton capacity press in the
UK, various quality monitoring systems and tooling. Inventory has
increased by GBP159,000 when compared to 30th June 2019 and by
GBP554,000 when compared to 31st December 2019. Trade receivables
of GBP6.6m is in line with 30th June 2019 but increased by
GBP915,000 when compared to 31st December 2019. The increase in
long-term borrowings during the year relates primarily to the take
up of new loans; firstly GBP455,000 in the USA where our subsidiary
has successfully applied for funding from the government Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) for Covid-19. The PPP aid, granted in the
form of a loan on 16th April 2020, carries an interest rate of 1%
and matures two years from the date of receipt, however the loan
may be forgiven if employees are retained. Secondly GBP300,000
relates to the partial draw-down of the EUR1.7m loan facility in 4B
France with Credit du Nord and BPI-France which as mentioned in
2019 annual report was obtained to fund the warehouse
construction.
Cash flow
Cash at the end of the period was GBP822,000. Cash generated
from operations before working capital movements was GBP1.4m during
the period. An increase in trade receivables of GBP915,000 and an
increase in inventories of GBP554,000 saw working capital reduce by
GBP682,000 since the year end. These are a consequence of the
reduced sales volume during the period. Investment in capital
projects mentioned above gave rise to capital outflows of
GBP855,000 and new loans of GBP755,000 in the USA and France
mentioned above provided proceeds from borrowings. Overall, net
cash increased by GBP159,000 during the six months to 30th June
2020. Management remains focused in ensuring that working capital
requirements, particularly for stock, are carefully monitored and
controlled.
Principal exchange rates
The Group reports its results in sterling, its presentational
currency. The Group operates in six other currencies and the
average of the principal exchange rates in use during the half year
and as at the 30th June 2020 are shown in the table below, along
with comparatives. Since a significant proportion of the Group
revenues are in the USA, the Group has benefitted from the
weakening of sterling against the US dollar since 31st December
2019. However, at the time of writing, the sterling has rallied
strongly, and we expect to see the gains in the first half of the
year reversing in the second half.

Notes to KPI's
1. Turnover growth
The Group aims to increase shareholder value by measuring the
year on year growth in Group revenue. Revenues are down due to the
current global economic climate. The directors consider the results
positive in the light of the current global crisis.
2. Gross margin
Gross profit (revenue less change in inventories and raw
materials used) as a percentage of revenue is monitored to maximise
profits available for reinvestment and distribution to
shareholders. Gross margin has decreased slightly over the same
period last year. The directors continue to monitor the margins
carefully for further movement.
3. Operating profit
Sustainable growth in operating profit is a strategic priority
to enable ongoing investment and increase shareholder value.
Operating profits have reduced as a direct result of the reduction
in sales which is primarily due to the economic uncertainty
following the Covid 19 pandemic.
4. Stock days
The average value of inventories divided by raw materials and
consumables used and changes in inventories of finished goods and
work in progress expressed as a number of days is monitored to
ensure the right level of stocks are held in order to meet customer
demands whilst not carrying excessive amounts which impacts upon
working capital requirements. Stock days have increased in part due
to a slow-down of sales compared to prior period.
5. Debtor days
The average value of trade receivables divided by revenue
expressed as a number of days. This is an important indicator of
working capital requirements. Debtor days at 63 days are slightly
above the standard payment terms of 60 days. Management remain
focused on reducing this to improve cash.
Other metrics monitored weekly or monthly include quality
measures (such as customer complaints), raw materials buying
prices, capital expenditure, line utilisation, reportable accidents
and near-misses.
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic
At our year end announcement, we noted the need to prepare for
the likelihood of lower demand while the world economy struggles to
recover from the pandemic. Our businesses have not been as harshly
affected, in the way that certain sectors such as travel, retail,
the hospitality and entertainment sectors, have been. We are
therefore heartened that sales revenues are only 5.6% down compared
to the same period last year but we are very mindful that small
changes in volume have a more significant impact on our
profits.
The pandemic has required all our businesses to adapt to new
ways of working; we are very alert to the health risks posed by the
virus and we have therefore taken all necessary steps to protect
our employees including providing equipment for homeworking,
implementing and observing stringent social distancing and
extensive disinfecting and sanitizing measures on-site. Many of
these provisions have the unintended consequence of reducing
operational efficiencies particularly in the factory and warehouse.
Staying close to our customers is at the heart of our policy and
this is made more challenging when site visits have been restricted
or banned. The costs of these new distancing, hygiene and risk
reduction measures may not in isolation appear significant when
quantified directly but without doubt they indirectly contribute to
the overall reduction in profitability. We have received some
government aid but the benefit to our profit for the period is
minimal, being GBP35,000 in respect of furloughed employees in the
UK who were shielding, and GBP13,000 in France. The government
assistance received in the USA mentioned above has been booked as a
loan and thus has not improved or impacted our reported profit.
Outlook for the second half of 2020
Given the current exceptional situation, it is even more
difficult than usual to comment on the outlook for the Group. Our
forward order books and the current level of enquiries in all parts
of the Group are at unusually low levels. Nevertheless, each month
our actual sales have exceeded our expectations and, in some parts
of the Group, have exceeded last year's figures for the same
period, and offset shortfalls elsewhere in the Group. On average we
continue to achieve over 85% of our original budget set last year,
but as in most businesses, our profits come from the top slice of
our revenue, so our net earnings are likely to remain weak in the
short term.
The Group is fortunate that a large part of our sales is made to
the supply chain involved in handling and processing food related
product and the demand for spares still remains strong. However, we
expect that investment in new facilities and in new processing
machinery in this sector, which have both driven our recent growth,
is likely to be subdued until confidence returns to the general
economy. If and when business confidence returns, we expect the
sector to return rapidly to previous levels of investment because
the food sector remains a growth area of the global economy
although there will inevitably be a delay while new orders for the
components that we supply start to flow through to us. Despite the
current climate, our finances remain strong and we continue to
invest resource to find new ways of marketing, and in developing
new product, so we remain optimistic about the long-term prospect
for the Group.
Our employees at all levels and in all parts of the group have
coped admirably with the considerable additional challenges and
stress created by the epidemic. Thanks to the fortitude and
flexibility shown by our staff, our manufacturing and distribution
businesses have been able to find new ways of working and enabled
us to continue to supply our customers almost without interruption.
In some important respects, this experience has bought our local
teams and our group as a whole, closer together and revealed new
and better ways of working. We plan to maintain and build on the
changes we have made which will benefit the group in the long
term.

1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The interim financial report has been prepared using accounting
policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of
the full financial statements to 31st December 2019 and those which
management expects to apply in the Group's full financial
statements to 31st December 2020.
This interim financial report is unaudited. The comparative
financial information set out in this interim financial report does
not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the period ended
31st December 2019 but is derived from the accounts. Statutory
accounts for the period ended 31st December 2019 have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors have reported
on those accounts. Their audit report was unqualified and did not
contain any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act
2006.
