5 Food Group business

ARYZTA's Food Group business is primarily focused on speciality baking, a niche segment of the overall bakery market. Speciality bakery consists of freshly prepared food giving the best value, variety, taste and convenience to consumers at the point of sale. ARYZTA's customer channels consist of a mix of convenience and independent retail, large retail, Quick Serve Restaurants ('QSR') and other foodservice categories.

Total Food Group revenue grew by 7.6% to €3.1bn. ARYZTA's underlying Food business performed well, posting underlying revenue growth of 1.3% in what was a very a challenging trading environment, particularly in the Food Europe segment.

Food EBITA increased by 8.5%, while EBITA margins expanded by 10bps to 13.2%, reflecting the improved efficiencies being derived through the ARYZTA Transformation Initiative ('ATI'). This translated into an 8.8% increase in underlying net profit within the Food Group.

6 Food Europe

Food Europe has leading market positions in the European speciality bakery market. It has a diversified customer base including convenience retail, gas stations, multiple retail, restaurants, catering and hotels, leisure and QSR.

Food Europe revenue grew by 9.3% to €1.4bn. This was largely driven by a very strong contribution of 9.0% from acquisitions. Underlying revenues grew marginally at 0.2% over the year, with a strong recovery during the fourth quarter of 2013. The weak underlying growth in bake-off reflects sustained weak consumer spending and the growing impact of government austerity measures across the region. The impact from currency movements was negligible during the year.

The acquisition of Klemme significantly transformed ARYZTA's presence in the pan-European large retail segment. Klemme enables ARYZTA to target the high growth In Store Bake-off ('ISB') for large retail customers, as consumers seek greater bake-off choice for home consumption.

Full Year Results for the year ended 31 July 2013

Food Europe EBITA increased by 9.7% to €186.0m, while EBITA margins expanded by 10bps to 13.4%.

Significant ATI-related and expansion-related capital investment was completed in Europe in FY 2013. The total cash costs relating to non-recurring items were €44.5m, while €44.0m was invested in the roll-out of the European ERP system and optimisation-related capital investments. These investments were key to establishment of a European customer centric business model and to rebalancing the channel mix within Europe. Additional expansion-related capital investments, primarily for further bakery capacity in Poland that is in the final commissioning stages, amounted to €63.8m.

7 Food North America

Food North America is a leading player in the US speciality bakery market. It has a diversified customer base, including multiple retail, restaurants, catering and hotels, leisure, hospitals, military, fundraising and QSR. ARYZTA is the leader in high-value artisan bakery via La Brea Bakery, which focuses on the premium branded bakery segment. ARYZTA's well-established partnerships with key global QSR customers, which dominate the North American convenience food landscape, position the Group to grow market share in tandem with customer growth.

Food North America revenue grew by 6.4% to €1.5bn, with acquisition contribution of 2.8% and underlying revenue growth of 1.6%. Favourable currency movements also benefited the reported performance in the year by 2.0%. Underlying organic growth in North America was strong, reflecting progress on deepening customer relationships and increased availability of a broader range of products to North American customers. The performance also benefited from stronger consumer spending trends in North America compared to Europe. Food North America EBITA grew by 7.9% to €190.3m, due to positive underlying revenue growth and further margin expansion of 20bps to 13.0% during the year.

In North America, the cash costs for non-recurring items were €37.9m, with an additional €17.5m relating to expanding the ERP system functionality and other optimisation-related capital investments. As announced at the half year, the North American Direct Store Distribution ('DSD') business was transitioned to third party contractors during the year. Like in Europe, these investments underpin the deployment of a customer centric business model in North America. An additional €15.1m was also invested in a variety of expansion-related capital investment projects.

8 Food Rest of World

ARYZTA's operations in the Rest of World include Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan.

Food Rest of World revenues grew by 5.7% to €234.2m, with underlying revenue growth of 6.6% and acquisition contribution of 2.3%. Unfavourable currency movements reduced reported growth by 3.2%. Food Rest of World EBITA grew by 4.7% to €30.4m, while EBITA margins declined by 10bps to 13.0%. Despite commissioning new bakeries in the region, involving a total expansion-related capital investment of €32.1m in FY 2013, the business remains capacity constrained. Food Rest of World will continue to need capital allocation to remove capacity bottlenecks and to facilitate new revenue growth opportunities in the region.

9 ARYZTA Transformation Initiative

In September 2011, the Group announced the ATI programme, a three year plan focused on supply chain optimisation and ERP implementation. ATI was launched with the goal of becoming a leading international bakery company, by leveraging ARYZTA's people, capabilities, partnerships and brands. Critical to this initiative is the development of a customer centric strategy, with highly effective cross-functional teams, to replace the previous business model of autonomous business units. The customer centric business model deployment in North America was supported with a further investment of €55.4m (non-recurring cash costs, ERP investment and optimisation-related capital investments). In Europe this investment was €88.5m, as part of the programme to replicate the customer centric model already established in North America.

The North American business has begun to see positive margin expansion as a result of the ATI-driven integration of autonomous business units during the prior year, as well as from the transition of DSD and further centralisation of certainadministrative tasks during the current year.

Additionally, the phased implementation of ERP has continued across many of the Food Group's European locations. These implementations have been successful due to leveraging experiences obtained from previous implementations in North America and other locations within Europe. The remaining planned ERP implementations in Europe remain on track to be substantially completed during FY 2014.

During the two years since the ATI programme announcement, the Food Group has incurred the following amounts:

ATI investment to date 159,603 108,105 267,708
Estimated overall ATI investment 460,000
Remaining available for ATI investment 192,292

The financial goal of these investments is to improve the ARYZTA Food Group ROIC related to the FY 2011 underlying food assets to 15% by 2015. The successful efforts to date have positioned the Group well for the continued growth and margin expansion necessary to achieve this measure.

The Board recommends a final dividend of CHF 0.66521 to be paid on 3 February 2014, if approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 10 December 2013.

14 Origin

Origin is a leading agri-services group focused on integrated agronomy and agri-inputs in the UK, Ireland and Poland. ARYZTA has a holding of 95 million shares in Origin (68.6% holding).

Origin reported financial and operating results in line with expectations for the year. The Origin Board has proposed a dividend per ordinary share of 17.25 cent for the year ended 31 July 2013.

Additionally, the Origin Board has proposed to return up to €100 million of capital to shareholders, by way of a tender offer for Origin shares, following the disposals of the marine protein and oils joint venture and other associate interests during the year.

Origin's separately published results, which were released on 25 September 2013, are available at www.originenterprises.com.

15 Outlook

ARYZTA's journey to becoming the partner of choice in speciality bake-off through leadership in innovation excellence is well established in North America and well underway in Europe. In Rest of World, the focus remains on adding new capacity.

ARYZTA's customer centric strategy will enable the business to leverage key customer relationships to grow revenue, by focusing on product development around consumer insights and to identify cost efficiencies across the organisation.

The trend of sector consolidation continues and ARYZTA's strategy in this regard remains unchanged, with the focus on acquiring targets that add bakery capability, capacity and customer/ geographic access.

During FY 2014, ARYZTA will be focused on completing the reorganisation and transforming of the business into a customer centric company focused on consumer trends and customer requirements. ARYZTA is guiding double-digit fully diluted EPS growth in FY 2014.

2 The 31 July 2013 weighted average number of ordinary shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is 88,559,475 (2012: 86,228,153). The increase in the weighted average number of ordinary shares is primarily due to the impact of the 4,252,239 shares issued during January 2012 on the weighted average shares outstanding during each respective year.

3 Food Group reported net profit excludes dividend income of €14,250,000 (2012: €10,450,000) from Origin.

Group Risk Statement Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board and senior management continue to invest significant time and resources in identifying specific risks across the Group, and in developing a culture of balanced risk minimisation. The Group has formal risk assessment processes in place, through which risks and mitigating controls are evaluated. These processes are driven by local management, who are best placed to identify the significant ongoing and emerging risks facing the business. The outputs of these risk assessment processes are subject to various levels of review by Group management and Internal Audit, and a consolidated Risk Map denoting the potential frequency, severity and velocity of identified risks, is reviewed by the ARYZTA Board of Directors on an annual basis. Risks identified and associated mitigating controls are also subject to audit as part of operational, financial and health and safety audit programmes.

The key risks facing the Group include the following:1

  • As an international group with substantial operations and interests outside the euro-zone, ARYZTA is subject to the risk of adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
  • The Group faces business risks associated with cash and collectables given the current curtailment of credit for all businesses.
  • Operational risks facing the Group include issues associated with product contamination and general food scares affecting relevant products.
  • Changing dietary trends and the increased emphasis on health and wellness among consumers present both opportunities and risks for the Group.
  • A further risk to the Group, in common with most companies, is the risk of failure to address increasing compliance requirements in areas such as health and safety, emissions and effluent control.
  • The loss of a significant manufacturing/operational site through natural catastrophe or act of vandalism represents a risk that could, potentially, have a material impact on the Group.
  • Similarly, a significant IT or security system failure could adversely impact on operations.
  • The Group faces the challenge of fluctuations in commodity and energy costs.
  • The Group faces the risk of a decrease in consumer spending in the current economic climate.
  • The Group faces the risk of impairment of its goodwill, brands and intangibles.
  • Having grown both organically and through acquisitions, the Group faces risks and challenges associated with managing growth, and ensuring that processes around acquiring and integrating new businesses are robust.
  • The Group faces risks associated with the potential loss of key management personnel.
  • In the event that the Group breaches a financing covenant it may have to renegotiate its facilities resulting in a higher cost of funds for the Group.
  • The loss of a significant supplier as a result of the current economic environment could adversely impact ongoing operations of the business.
  • As the Group operates in a competitive industry, it is subject to the risk of the loss of a significant customer.
  • The implementation of a Group-wide ERP system requires substantial investment and monitoring of implementation, and would result in significant costs in the event of a failed implementation.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 July 2013

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group consolidated and Company financial statements, in accordance with Swiss law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare Group consolidated and Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors are required to prepare the Group consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and the requirements of Swiss law and to prepare the Company financial statements in accordance with Swiss law and the Company's Articles of Association.

This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Group consolidated and Company financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing each of the Group consolidated and Company financial statements, the directors are required to:

  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the Company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper books of account that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with IFRS and the requirements of Swiss law and the Company's Articles of Association.

They are also responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Group's website.

3.1 Gain/(loss) on disposal of interests in joint ventures and associate

During July 2013, Origin announced it had reached conditional agreement to dispose of its 50% interest in Welcon to its joint venture partner, Austevoll Seafoods ASA, for cash consideration of NOK 740 million. As all conditions were fulfilled by 31 July 2013, the disposal has been reflected in the financial year ended 31 July 2013. The consideration is shown as a receivable in the amount of €94,002,000 in the Group Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 July 2013. The transaction completed during August 2013 and the proceeds were received in full. As the proceeds received were in excess of the carrying value of the investment of €73,873,000, the transaction resulted in a gain on disposal of €20,631,000, net of foreign exchange gains recycled from other comprehensive income of €3,653,000 and disposal-related costs of €3,151,000.

Notes to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2013

In June 2013, Continental Farmers Group was acquired by United Farmers Holding Company. As a result, Origin no longer has an investment in Continental Farmers Group. Consideration on disposal was €16,910,000, which was in excess of Origin's carrying value of the investment of €16,587,000, resulting in a gain on disposal of €323,000.

During January 2013, the Food Group completed the disposal of its interest in a joint venture, previously held as part of the Food North America segment. Consideration received on disposal was €1,941,000, which was less than the investment carrying value of €2,646,000 at the time, resulting in a loss of €705,000.

In financial year 2012, the Food Group completed the disposal of its interest in a joint venture, previously held as part of the Food Rest of World segment. Consideration received on disposal was €4,675,000, which was in excess of the investment carrying value of €3,258,000 at the time, resulting in a gain of €1,417,000.

3.2 Gain on dilution of associate interests (financial year 2012)

In financial year 2012, Origin's investment in Valeo was reduced from 44.1% to 32.0% as a result of Valeo raising additional funding from investors. As a result of this transaction, the Group recorded a gain of €2,305,000 on the dilution of the holding, which is recorded in the Group Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 July 2012.

3.3 Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs of €5,490,000 incurred during the year ended 31 July 2013 relate to Food Group acquisition-related activities. Acquisition costs of €3,255,000 incurred during the year ended 31 July 2012 related primarily to Origin's share of Valeo transaction and rationalisation costs, as well as costs associated with the prior year Food Group acquisitions. These costs include share purchase tax, due diligence and other professional services fees.

3.4 Restructuring-related costs and fair value adjustments

During the financial year 2013, progress has continued on the Food Group ATI programme to integrate or rationalise existing business assets to enable optimised manufacturing and business support throughout the Group. Origin has also continued to progress on its own separate business transformation programme. As a result of these programmes the Group has recognised costs, including providing for amounts as required by IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, in the Group Consolidated Income Statement as follows:

Notes to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2013

Asset write-downs

The Group incurred €44,989,000 (2012: €10,556,000) of asset write-downs during the year. These amounts relate to the write-down of certain distribution, manufacturing and administration assets, due to the closure and/or reduction in the activities related to those assets. These amounts primarily related to the closure of 50 distribution centres and 224 truck routes as a result of discontinuing Direct Store Delivery in Food North America, as well as the continued evaluation of the manufacturing and distribution footprint across the various Food Europe business units as part of the Food Group ATI integration and rationalisation programme. Based on the anticipated future use of certain items within property, plant and equipment, Origin management obtained an external valuation and adjusted the carrying values accordingly.

Fair value adjustments

The Group incurred €6,606,000 (2012: €9,665,000) of fair value adjustments related to the carrying value of investment properties, based on the results of independent valuations. These adjustments are primarily the result of the continuing decline in the Irish property market, lack of transactions, restricted bank financing for property-related deals, a generally difficult economic environment, and in particular the indication that the value of development land in regional areas is converging to that of agricultural land.

Severance and other staff-related costs

The Group has incurred and provided for €41,866,000 (2012: €55,174,000) in severance and other staff-related costs during the year, in relation to employees whose service was discontinued following certain rationalisation decisions throughout the Group. These costs also primarily related to discontinuing Direct Store Delivery in Food North America and the continued evaluation of the manufacturing and distribution footprint across the various Food Europe business units.

Grant-related costs

The termination of certain activities caused by the Group's integration and rationalisation programmes in the prior year resulted in the triggering of related grant repayment conditions. This resulted in the reversal of €713,000 in grants previously amortised through the prior year Group Consolidated Income Statement.

Contractual obligations

The operational decisions made through the Group's integration and rationalisation projects triggered early termination penalties and resulted in certain operational contracts becoming onerous. The Group incurred total costs of €5,360,000 (2012: €3,012,000) during the year to either exit or provide for such contractual obligations.

Advisory costs and other costs

During the year, the Group incurred €33,294,000 (2012: €20,976,000) in other costs related directly to the implementation of the integration and rationalisation programs. These costs are composed principally of restructuring-related advisory costs, site restoration costs, costs associated with establishing shared service centres for centralisation of certain administrative functions and other directly attributable incremental costs.

2 The change in the equity instruments with a dilutive impact is due to continued vesting of management share-based incentives, offset by the impact of incentives exercised during the year, which are now included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares used to determine basic earnings per share.

3 Reflects the dilutive impact of equity entitlements granted to Origin senior management under the Origin Plan. These equity entitlements dilute the Group's share of Origin profits available as part of its diluted earnings per share calculation.

4 The 31 July 2013 weighted average number of ordinary shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is 88,559,475 (2012: 86,228,153). The increase in the weighted average number of ordinary shares is primarily due to the impact of the 4,252,239 shares issued during January 2012 on the weighted average shares outstanding during each respective year.

Notes to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2013

In addition to the basic and diluted earnings per share measures required by IAS 33, Earnings per Share, as calculated above, the Group also presents an underlying fully diluted earnings per share measure, in accordance with IAS 33 paragraph 73. This additional measure enables comparability of the Group's underlying results from period to period, without the impact of transactions that do not relate to the underlying business. It is also the Group's policy to declare dividends based on underlying fully diluted earnings per share, as this provides a more consistent basis for returning dividends to shareholders.

As shown below, for purposes of calculating this measure, the Group adjusts reported net profit by the following items and their related tax impacts:

  • includes the perpetual callable subordinated instrument accrued dividend as a finance cost, as already included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share;
  • excludes non-ERP-related intangible amortisation;
  • excludes net acquisition, disposal and restructuring-related costs and fair value adjustments; and
  • adjusts for the impact of dilutive instruments on non-controlling interests share of adjusted profits.

5 Business combinations

5.1 Acquisitions in financial year 2013

During the year, the Group completed the acquisition of Klemme AG, as well as three other smaller acquisitions, by acquiring all outstanding shares of these individual entities. The details of the net assets acquired and goodwill arising from these business combinations are set out below. The goodwill arising on these business combinations is attributable to the skills and talent of the in-place work-force and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the acquired operations into the Group's existing businesses.

Costs of €5,490,000 related to the acquisitions were charged to the net acquisition, disposal, and restructuring-related costs and fair value adjustments in the Group Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended 31 July 2013.

Notes to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2013

The impact of these business combinations during the year on the Group Consolidated Income Statement is set out in the following table:

in EUR '000 Total
Revenue 153,634
Profit for the year 5,938

If these acquisitions had occurred on 1 August 2012, management estimates that the consolidated revenue would have been €4,653,291,000 and profit for the year would have been €174,754,000. In making this determination, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments that arose on the date of the acquisition would have been the same if the acquisitions had occurred on 1 August 2012.

For the identification and estimation of the fair value of the intangibles acquired as part of these acquisitions, ARYZTA was assisted by a non-audit independent appraisal firm. The identified intangibles acquired primarily related to customer relationships, which were valued using the income approach method.

The fair values presented in this note are based on provisional valuations, due to the complexity of the transactions.
