HY19 Results

Please see attached Capral’s Half Year Report 2019 and accompanying HY19 Results Presentation. Summarised below are the key highlights:

  • Trading EBITDA[1] $2.4 million, down on $6.9 million in H1 2018, off 10% lower volume

  • The downturn in residential construction has been sharper and faster than forecast. Sales to window fabricators were down 17% on H1 2018. Industrial markets were also weaker with sales down 6% on H1 2018

  • Margins adversely impacted by lower manufacturing volume and fixed cost absorption

  • Strong balance sheet with net cash at $18.7 million, after $5m dividend payment and increased capital expenditure

  • LME fell in Q1 2019 and has remained reasonably stable since

  • Key capital investment automation projects successfully completed

  • Restructure and downsizing of major manufacturing plant in QLD results in $6.0 million restructuring provision

  • Restructure of QLD plant and additional sub lease of free space will have a significant positive impact on profitability in H2 2019

  • Increased anti-dumping measures on Chinese extrusion imports were announced in May 2019 and, together with a focus on circumvention surveillance, will lead to improved domestic extrusion volumes going forward

Capral’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Dragicevich, and Chief Financial Officer, Tertius Campbell, will host a teleconference commencing at 11:00 am (AEST) today.

Review of operations and key results

Capral today announced a loss after tax of $8,384,000 for the half-year ended 30 June 2019, compared with a $4,347,000 profit after tax for the corresponding period last year.

No dividend has been declared for this half-year.

Results Overview

Capral delivered a Trading EBITDA* of $2.4 million as compared to $6.9 million in H1 2018 on 10% lower volumes and sales revenue. EBITDA¹ of $3.4 million as compared to $7.6 million profit in H1 2018, included a negative LME revaluation of $1.0 million and restructuring provision and one-off costs of $6.4m.

Dwelling commencements fell sharply in the first half and volumes to window fabricators fell by 17% on H1 2018. Commercial construction and key industrial markets (manufacturing and transport) also slowed in the first half with volumes down 6% on H1 2018. Margins were impacted by lower manufacturing volumes resulting in lower fixed cost absorption. LME fell in Q1 2019 and has remained reasonably stable since.

The balance sheet remains strong with net cash at $18.7 million, after making a $5 million dividend payment in March 2019 and increased capex spend on automation initiatives. Capral also renewed its $50 million finance facility with ANZ until January 2021.

The capital investment projects in new technology and automation to improve Capral’s long term competitive position were successfully completed during the first half.

A restructure and downsizing of our major manufacturing plant in Queensland resulted in a $5.4 million restructuring provision. This initiative, together with the sub-lease of additional free space at this site, will have a significant positive impact on profitability in H2 2019.

Increased anti-dumping measures on Chinese extrusions were announced in May 2019 and this, together with a focus on circumvention surveillance, should lead to improved domestic extrusion volumes going forward.

Please also refer to the 2019 Half Year Results Presentation lodged with this Report.

Auditor's independence declaration

The auditors' independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act is set out on page 3.

1 EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation and incorporates AASB16 impact from 2019.

  • Trading EBITDA is presented with reference to the ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 “Disclosing non-IFRS financial information” issued in December 2011. Trading EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for significant items that are material items of revenue or expense that are unrelated to the underlying performance of the business. Capral believes that Trading EBITDA provides a better understanding of its financial performance and allows for a more relevant comparison of financial performance between financial periods. These items are LME and Premium revaluation ($1.0 million), one-off and other restructuring related costs ($6.4 million) that are non-recurring in nature and including the depreciation and interest on of Right of Use assets as proxy for rent ($8.4 million).

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7

Capral Limited

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half-year ended 30 June 2019

1 Significant accounting policies

Capral Limited ( Capral ) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated half-year financial report of Capral for the half-year period ended 30 June 2019 comprises Capral and its subsidiaries ( consolidated entity ).

(a) Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting (which complies with the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting), other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the Corporations Act 2001.

This half-year financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. This report is to be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2018 and any public announcements made by Capral during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

(b) Basis of preparation

Capral is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with this, amounts in the Directors' Report and the half-year financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The half-year financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment. Cost is based on the fair values of consideration given in exchange for assets. Except where indicated otherwise, all amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in Capral's annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, except as noted in Note 1(d) below.

(c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

In the application of Capral's accounting policies, Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no changes to the significant accounting judgement, estimates and assumptions from 31 December 2018.

(d) Application of new and revised standards

Capral has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. Adoption of these Standards and Interpretations except for AASB 16 Leases, did not have any material effect on the financial position or performance of the consolidated entity.

Application of AASB 16 Leases (‘AASB 16’)

The Group has applied AASB 16 in accordance with the transitional approach C5(b) to retrospectively adjust the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application i.e. 01 January 2019 in the opening retained earnings. Consequently, the Group has not restated the comparative information. In contrast to lessee accounting, AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117.

(d) Application of new and revised standards (Cont’d)

Impact of the new definition of a lease

The Group has not made use of the practical expedient available on transition to AASB 16 and has reassessed whether a contract is or contains a lease. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. AASB 16 distinguishes between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the lessee. Control is considered to exist if the lessee has:

  • » The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset; and

  • » The right to direct the use of that asset.

The Group has applied the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in AASB 16 to all lease contracts (whether it is a lessor or a lessee in the lease contract). The new definition in AASB 16 does not change significantly the scope of contracts that meet the definition of a lease for the Group

AASB 16 has impacted how the Group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117 which were off-balance sheet.

Financial impact of the initial application of AASB 16

(1) The application of AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. It resulted in a decrease in ‘employee benefits expenses’, ‘occupancy costs’ and ‘other expenses’, and an increase in depreciation and interest expense.

(2) Equipment under finance lease arrangements previously presented within property, plant and equipment is now presented within the line item right-of-use assets. There has been no change in the amount recognised.

(3) Lease liability on leases previously classified as finance leases under AASB 117 and previously presented within obligations under finance leases is now presented in the line ‘lease liabilities’. There has been no change in the liability recognised.

(4) Lease liability incentives previously recognised in respect of the operating leases have been derecognised by an adjustment to retained earnings whereas under AASB 117, they resulted in the recognition of a lease liability incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight-line basis.

Impact on the statement of cash flows

» Cash paid for the interest portion of lease liabilities is included under interest paid as part of operating activities

» Cash payments for the principal portion of leases liabilities is included as part of financing activities.

Under AASB 117, all lease payments on operating leases were presented as part of cash flows from operating activities. Consequently, the net cash generated by operating activities has increased by $7,782,000 and net cash used in financing activities increased by the same amount.

The adoption of AASB 16 did not have an impact on net cash flows.

(e) Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted

In the current year, the company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

(f) Impairment of non-current assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which that asset belongs. Management views the Group as representing one CGU.

If there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets will be determined by reference to a value in use discounted cash flow valuation of the Group, utilising financial forecasts and projections.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Cash flows that may result from prior period tax losses are not taken into account. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

As at 30 June 2019 the group has assessed both the internal and the external indicators of impairment, including completing value in use models.

  • The key assumptions used in the value in use assumptions calculations as at 30 June 2019 were as follows:  Revenue Growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flow beyond the forecast period: 1%

  • Pre Tax discount rate: 11.41%

No impairment was recognised as at 30 June 2019.

6 Restructuring costs

In June 2019, a restructuring process was started to right size the Group’s manufacturing operations to match current levels of demand. The restructuring involves reduction of the extrusion press operation, closures of an anodising plant and a vertical paint line, reorganisation to allow the sublet of additional floor space, and restructuring and consolidation of roles and operations. To the extent that employees could not be redeployed, redundancy terms were agreed.

The carrying value of assets retired as part of the restructuring was offset with the impairment provision recognised in 2013. Therefore, no additional impairment was recognised as at 30 June 2019.

The restructuring costs charged to profit or loss consist of the following:

Machinery and equipment dismantling and relocation

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of Capral Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Capral Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 4 to 17.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its performanc e for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Capral Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under P rofessional Standards Legislation. M ember of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte Network.

==> picture [91 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Capral Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Capral Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
