Following a Board Meeting held today, 14 February 2014, the
Directors announce the preliminary statement of results for the
year ended 31 October 2013.
ISIN: GB0004182720 for 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares
ISIN: GB0004182506 for Ordinary Shares
Chairman's statement
Despite a small drop in turnover due to a loss in rental income
from two houses that were closed and then sold during the year, the
Company has returned an increase in profitability for the year
under review.
Results
Turnover for the Group decreased by GBP37,000 (0.51%) to
GBP7,231,000. However, a Group Operating Profit of GBP1,345,000
after consolidation adjustments was generated which showed an 8.03%
increase (GBP100,000) on the previous year.
Heavitree Inns remained dormant throughout the year.
Heavitree Inc. generated an operating loss of GBP13,000 (2012 -
profit of GBP10,000).
Key Performance indicators
Adjusted Operating Profit before Taxation GBP1,345,000 was up
8.03% on last year.
Interest costs were covered 7.27 times.
Dividend
The Directors recommend a final dividend of 3.5 p per Ordinary
and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share (2012 - 3.5p) making a total
for the year of 7p, which is unchanged from last year. The dividend
will be paid on 25 April 2014, subject to shareholder approval at
the Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2014, to shareholders on the
Register at 4 April 2014.
Sale of Property
The Full Quart at Hewish and The Bishop John de Grandisson at
Bishopsteignton were sold in the year. This resulted in a net loss
of GBP85,000.
Capital Investments
I reported last year that we had converted the St. Loyes pub in
Exeter into six apartments. Four have been marketed for sale and at
the time of writing all have buyers who are soon to complete. The
other two are being rented out.
A house near one of our pubs in Honiton Clyst near Exeter has
been converted into two cottages, and again both have been rented
out.
The conversion of the Malsters Arms old skittle alley into a
detached house was completed in July 2013.
Work has started on two further closed sites. The Red Lion at
Ashburton is being converted into four apartments and a retail
unit. The Country House Inn in Exeter has been demolished and
tenders are being sought for the building of three houses which
have been granted planning approval.
Pension Scheme
The Company continues to meet its funding obligations to its
closed final salary Pension Scheme. The next triennial valuation of
the scheme fell due on 1 January 2014 and should be completed by
the scheme's actuary later in the year.
Repurchase of shares
The Company did not repurchase any of its own shares during the
year under review but the Directors intend to seek shareholder
approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting for the
continuing authority to do so.
Outlook
The uncertainty surrounding the imposition of a statutory code
of practice remains for Public House companies, with the Government
having missed the most recent deadline of 8 January 2014 set by the
Business Innovation and Skills Committee (BISC) to reveal its
intentions towards intervening in the tenanted pub company model.
We have already had our own Code of Practice ratified by the
British Beer and Pub Association.
The Company believes that any upturn in the economy will be slow
to filter through to boost customer confidence and expects that
trading conditions will remain difficult in the coming year. This
year's set of results have been buoyed by strong controls of
general costs and our good margins. I am very grateful for the
dedication of our team at Head Office and the performance of our
tenants and leaseholders.
