Directors

The following persons were directors of Capral during the half-year and, except as indicated below, up to the date of this report:

Review of operations and key results

Capral today announced a half year result well above prior period and ahead of guidance provided in the 2019 Annual Report. Profit after tax was $4,807,000 for the half-year ended 30 June 2020, compared with a $8,384,000 loss 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 $10.2 million as compared to $2.4 million in 1H19 on similar volumes but 2.8% lower sales revenue. EBITDA¹ of $17.0 million as compared to $3.4 million in 1H19, included a negative LME revaluation of $1.5 million and JobKeeper payments of $4.4 million.

Overall volumes were on par with 2019. Dwelling commencements fell during the second quarter due to COVID19 impact, but this volume reduction was offset by import replacement volume. General industrial demand was steady.

The balance sheet remains strong with net cash at $24.9 million, after making a $2.4 million dividend payment ($1.2 million net after dividend reinvestment plan) in March 2020 and received $2.2 million in JobKeeper payments from the government. Capral also renewed its finance facility with ANZ until 30[th] April 2022. Due to COVID-19, capex spend was limited to critical plant maintenance.

The capital investment projects in new technology and automation completed during 2019, delivered benefits as expected.

The 2019 restructure and downsizing of our major manufacturing plant in Queensland delivered around $3.7 million benefit to profitability in 1H20.

Anti-dumping measures on Chinese extrusions were increased in May 2019 and this, together with a focus on circumvention surveillance, has led to increased market share for local extrusion manufacturers.

Please also refer to the 2020 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 negative revaluation ($1.5 million) and including depreciation and interest on Right of Use assets as proxy for rent ($8.2 million).

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7

Capral Limited

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half-year ended 30 June 2020

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 2020 comprises Capral and its subsidiary ( 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 2019 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 2019, 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.

The Australian Taxation Office provided guidance materials (LCR 2020/1 and PCG 2020/4) on the importance of maintaining proper records and evidence of eligibility for JobKeeper payment entitlement, particularly around the calculation of projected decline in GST turnover. LCR 2020/1 states that anticipated GST turnover needs to be a reasonable projection. If there is a significant difference between the projected and actual turnover, the ATO may make further enquiries to examine records and calculations to determine whether the projection was in fact a reasonable one, in view of the commercial circumstances. Accordingly, Capral self-assessed the eligibility criteria and enrolled in the JobKeeper payment scheme on 14 May 2020. Capral assessed key drivers of the business to determine the projected turnover fall for May 2020. Capral is involved in the extrusion of aluminium profiles, used in building and general industrial applications. A significant proportion is supplied to the residential and commercial building industries. Consistent with management’s forecasting approach, dwelling commencements are used as a guide to estimate sales into the building sector. Industry forecast reports such as those from BIS Oxford Economics and Housing Industry Association are used as key inputs to determine demand and supply trends. Pricing is also dependant on the Aluminium LME prices. Industrial markets are usually impacted by the general fluctuations in economic conditions.

Based on the above, Capral has recognised the JobKeeper receipts aggregating to AUD 4.4 million per paragraph 12 of AASB 120 Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance. Accordingly, JobKeeper payments have been recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the entity recognises as expenses the wages and salaries for which the JobKeeper payments are intended to compensate. The portion of JobKeeper payments that relates to manufacturing wages for inventories remaining unsold as at 30 June 2020 is not material.

1 Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(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 did not have any material effect on the financial position or performance of the consolidated entity.

(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. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not significantly affect the financial statements of the company

(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 a result of the non-current assets recoverable amount assessment performed, Capral has determined that no impairment write-down of non-current assets as at 30 June 2020 was necessary. The recoverable amount of the CGU estimated by management exceeded the carrying amount of assets by $3,903,000.

The key assumptions used in preparing the value in use cash flow valuation as at 30 June 2020 are as follows:

The table below shows key assumptions in the value in use calculation and value of the input to which the key assumption must change in isolation for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value.

Average volumes increase 2022-24 p.a. 1.00% 0.85%

(g) JobKeeper Payment Scheme

In response to the economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the Australian Government introduced the JobKeeper payment scheme to assist eligible employers with payroll subsidy. As trade and travel restrictions were imposed in Australia, Capral self-assessed the eligibility criteria and enrolled in the JobKeeper payment scheme on 14 May 2020. Capral nominated around 730 eligible employees under the scheme. $4.4 million of JobKeeper payments from the Australian Taxation Office was included in profit of which $2.2 million was received by 30 June 2020. The receipts have been accounted as a reduction to the employee benefits expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with $2.2 million recognised as a corresponding receivable as at 30 June 2020.

The impact on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity have been described below:

$’000 (Excl. JobKeeper) JobKeeper $’000 (Incl. JobKeeper)
Employee Benefits expense (39,861) 4,400 (35,461)
Profit before income tax 407 4,400 4,807
Total current assets 166,849 2,200 169,049
Net assets 92,529 4,400 96,929

4,780 2,200 6,980

at end of the half year period

Whilst Capral has recognised $4.4 million in JobKeeper payments in the half-year ended 30 June 2020, this amount does not represent the net benefit to the Company. Had Capral not have been eligible and received JobKeeper payments, approximately 20% of the workforce would have been stood down during this half, which would represent an approximate reduction of $2.8 million in wage and salary costs.

(h) Amendments to AASB 16: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

Effective 1 June 2020, AASB 16 was amended to provide a practical expedient for lessees accounting for rent concessions that arise as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and satisfy the following criteria:

(a) The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

(b) The reduction is lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and

  • (c) There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

Rent concessions that satisfy these criteria may be accounted for in accordance with the practical expedient, which means the lessee does not need to assess whether the rent concession meets the definition of a lease modification. Lessees apply other requirements in IFRS 16 in accounting for the concession.

Capral has elected to utilise the practical expedient for all rent concessions that meet the criteria.

Accounting for the rent concessions as lease modifications would have resulted in Capral remeasuring the lease liability to reflect the revised consideration using a revised discount rate, with the effect of the change in the lease liability recorded against the right-of-use asset.

By applying the practical expedient, Capral is not required to determine a revised discount rate and the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

The application of the practical expedient has resulted in the reduction of total lease liabilities of $176,344. The effect of this reduction has been recorded to the occupancy costs in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

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 (credited)/charged to profit or loss consist of the following:

13 Deed of cross guarantee

Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418, the wholly owned subsidiary, Aluminium Extrusion and Distribution Pty Limited ( AED ) is relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirement for the preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports.

It is a condition of that class order that Capral and AED enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee ( Deed ). Under the Deed, Capral guarantees the payment of all debts of AED in full, in the event of a winding up. AED in turn has guaranteed the payment of the debts of Capral in full in the event that it is wound up.

AED was deregistered on 24 July 2019. In connection with deregistration of AED, the Deed was revoked on 13 May 2019. There are no other subsidiaries subject to the deed of cross guarantee as at 30 June 2020.

14 Key management personnel

Remuneration arrangements of key management personnel are disclosed in the 2019 annual financial report. In addition, refer to Notes 7 and 10 in relation to changes during the half year; performance rights granted, expired and conversion to ordinary shares to Capral’s Managing Director, executive and senior management, under the LTIP.

15 Subsequent events

Capral continues to operate in Victoria during Stage 4 restrictions. Operations are strictly conducted under a High Risk COVID Safe Plan. Capral manufactures and distributes Aluminium products into a number of ‘permitted to open’ sectors including residential building, heavy truck and transport equipment manufacturing, defence and security industries.

Victoria represents around 20% of Capral’s total volume. As many customers are permitted to operate during Stage 4, we do not anticipate a dramatic impact on demand.

The directors consider that prolonged general economic impacts arising from COVID-19 may have a negative impact on Capral’s operations. In the unlikely event of an extended general shutdown of the economy throughout the Australian States and Territories, it may impact the recoverability of Capral’s carrying value of assets going forward.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the half-year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

16 COVID-19 impact

The outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine measures imposed by the Australian and other governments as well as the travel and trade restrictions imposed by Australia and other countries in early and mid-2020 have caused disruption to businesses and global economic activity.

The situation remains fluid as at the date the financial statements are authorised for issue, due to evolving changes in government policy and reactions thereto by business and consumers. To the extent possible, given this uncertainty, the directors have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the basis of preparation of financial statements as a going concern.

A material part of Capral’s revenue is generated from the residential and commercial construction sector. These industries have been significantly impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic causing a slowdown in construction activities thus affecting sales volume in the first half. Capral’s sales volume improved in June 2020 as customer sentiment improved after trade restrictions were lifted and economic stimulus packages were made available by the Australian Government (HomeBuilder Grant).

Most of Capral’s sales prices are linked to the aluminium price on the London Metal Exchange which saw a significant drop from January 2020 from $2.60 to $2.24 as at 30 June 2020. Aluminium raw material revaluation of $1.5 million due to lower LME also impacted the half year financial performance. Cost savings from Bremer Park restructure substantially completed in the financial year ended 31 December 2019 have had a positive impact on the half year financial performance and are expected to continue going forward.

Capral procures majority of its inventory (Aluminium logs) from domestic suppliers. Supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 did not have a material impact on Capral’s operations as sufficient inventory levels were held to service demand. Capral also received JobKeeper payments aggregating $4.4 million under the current regime and is expected to continue to receive the monthly JobKeeper payments until September 2020. Refer to note 1(g) for further details.

Management has prepared cash flow forecasts reflecting the expected impact of the above based on information available at the date of signing of the financial report. After consideration of the factors noted above, the directors consider Capral is a going concern including realising its assets and discharging its liabilities in the normal course of business. Refer to Note 15 for further details.

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 2020 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.
