CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
In my first letter to you as the Chairman of Pittards plc, I am
reassured by the fundamentals of its businesses and encouraged
about the opportunities that lie ahead. The Company is in a
transitional phase and continues to operate in an uncertain
economic environment. Against this backdrop, it had a challenging
first half of 2016 although we made progress in determining the
medium-term priorities.
The key highlights for the half year were:
Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue GBP13.4m (H1 2015: GBP15.6m)
-- EBITDA GBP0.8m (H1 2015: GBP1.0m)
-- Profit before tax of GBP0.3m (H1 2015: GBP0.6m)
-- Basic earnings per share of 1.56p (H1: 2015 4.47p), impacted
by the share issue in June 2015
-- Net assets GBP24.8m (H1 2015: GBP23.8m)
Strategic Highlights:
-- Development of strategic roadmap making good progress with a
number of key medium-term initiatives defined and prioritised
investments made
-- Board recruitment completed
MARKET CONDITIONS
Volumes in the leather industry remain depressed reflecting
reduced demand from China and Russia and high inventories following
mild winters which all have a direct impact on our markets.
Global leather sales are estimated to be worth over $85bn
(source: UKLF). Pittards is targeting the following core markets:
performance gloves, footwear, lifestyle and interiors, which play
to our sales and manufacturing strengths, optimise our supply chain
and give us a balanced portfolio. Golf remains an important market
for us with the golf markets (gloves and shoes) in the US and the
Rest of the World each worth approximately $500m.
RESULTS
Revenue declined by 14% to GBP13.4m. This reflected weaker
global demand which affected all divisions with the exception of
the Ethiopia Consumer Division which grew revenue year on year due
to increased production and sales of work and dress gloves.
Gross Margin at 22.7% improved by 1 percentage point year on
year mainly due to favourable raw material prices and currency
rates. EBITDA was down to GBP0.8m from GBP1.0m as a consequence of
reduced volumes and our investment in people.
Profit before tax reduced to GBP0.3m (H1 2015: GBP0.6m) and
basic earnings per share to 1.56p (H1 2015 4.47p), also impacted by
the share issue in June 2015.
As at 30 June 2016, net debt was GBP8.2m (H1 2015: GBP6.9m)
reflecting investment in: the final instalment to buy ETSC (which
is a main supplier of Ethiopian skins) of approximately GBP0.3m,
buying out the minority interest in the Ethiopian-based Pittards
Global Sourcing for GBP0.2m and capital investment of GBP0.8m.
STRATEGIC UPDATE
Pittards, proud of its heritage, is aware of the need to evolve
as a business to remain competitive as it develops the next phase
of growth.
We aim to extend our competitive edge within the identified
markets that play to our strengths via innovation, service,
manufacturing and marketing initiatives. To facilitate this, we
have updated the management structure and are recruiting to fill a
small number of identified gaps.
The purchase of the freehold of the Yeovil site in 2015 secured
the future of our UK manufacturing operations. As mentioned above,
further investments were made in the first half to strengthen our
Ethiopian operations and help modernise the UK Leather
Division.
BOARD CHANGES
I was appointed Chairman on 16 May 2016 and would like to thank
my predecessor Stephen Boyd for his valuable contribution during
his time at the Company.
On 1 June, Matthew O'Rourke was appointed CFO bringing with him
a wealth of industry and financial experience. As previously
announced, effective from that date, Jill Williams resigned from
this role and became a non-executive director.
OUTLOOK
Pittards has traded profitably in a challenging first half in
which we saw a continuation of the depressed demand for leather in
similar market conditions to those at the end of 2015.
We have made progress in identifying the Company's medium-term
priorities and associated investment requirements, supported by an
adequate cash position and solid balance sheet.
The second half continues to benefit from a favourable currency
impact and the Board remains confident that the Company can deliver
full year results in line with our expectations and the actions
identified will help to build a platform for future growth.
