Turnaround Progressing

Fleetwood’s turnaround plan, initiated three years ago delivered early results in FY2017 with earnings before interest and tax increasing from a loss of $2.1m to a profit of $14.6m.

There were no impairment charges impacting underlying earnings in FY2017.

The divisional breakdown shown below demonstrates that strong earnings in Modular Accommodation and Village Operations were offset to a degree by continued underperformance in Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing.

All divisions saw an improved EBIT contribution during the year.

==> picture [586 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

Strong operating cash flows during the period were the result of strengthening demand for FIFO accommodation in Karratha, strong volume from affordable housing, continued growth in education markets and sound working capital management.

Despite a large volume of work remaining in progress at 30 June, the company has moved from net debt of $9.6m at 31 December 2016 to a net cash position at 30 June.

While the turnaround remains in progress the directors have resolved to pay a fully franked final dividend of 5 cents per share.

Significant changes have been made to Fleetwood’s board, senior management team and business operations in the last two years. The operational changes have seen the company become net debt free, re-focus on growth markets and significantly reduce operating costs.

Both the board and management team remain focussed on continuing to deliver the turnaround plan in FY2018.

Growth Markets

As can be seen in the charts below revenue has moved away from resources and has been replaced by affordable housing, an important growth sector.

Modular Accommodation

Revenue improved by 23% in the Modular Accommodation segment compared to the previous corresponding period. While education has been a strong contributor to this, supply agreements with key customers have been an important part of the company’s refocus towards affordable housing, which is a market with a solid forward outlook.

The outlook for education spending in core east coast education markets remains strong as evidenced by recent state government budget spending plans.

While education and affordable housing are the backbone of the Modular Accommodation segment, a watching brief is also being kept on other markets.

A major restructure of the Western Australian accommodation business was undertaken in the 2016 financial year. The restructure has substantially reduced overheads in WA which has been a major contributor to the increase in earnings.

Encouragingly, the company experienced an improvement in enquiries from the resource sector towards the end of the financial year.

Recreational Vehicles

The chart below highlights that the Recreational Vehicle business has been able to grow its volume by over 50% into a soft market environment in 2017.

Improvements to the company’s product range and dealer network in the last eighteen months have resulted in a marked increase in order intake and factory output. This is evident in the revenue increase of 59% over the previous corresponding period.

4

==> picture [586 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

However, to facilitate such a rapid increase in output, the number of factory employees has more than doubled in the last two years and time required to train new employees has resulted in lower than ideal labour efficiency.

Despite improvements in the business and strong results at the Perth and Sydney caravan shows, results from other capital city shows have been weaker than previous years. This is in line with a generally weakening trend seen in the Australian caravan manufacturing sector towards the end of the financial year.

Given this and notwithstanding that the company is targeting market share growth in the coming year, it is not expected that the business will return to profitability in FY2018.

The board has confidence in the direction the business is taking given the number of improvement initiatives currently underway, and Recreational Vehicle manufacturing is considered a key component of Fleetwood’s long term future.

Village Operations

The chart below demonstrates the estimated change in supply of accommodation rooms in the Karratha market since 2013.

----- End of picture text -----

Revenue continued to moderate in the Village Operations segment in 2017 despite some improvement in both occupancy and revenue at the Searipple Village in the second half of the year. This was the result of fluctuating demand from customers.

EBIT improved due to a combination of lower costs negotiated with suppliers and lower depreciation and amortisation charges.

5

==> picture [586 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

While the downturn in the mining sector has generally seen demand for worker accommodation reduce, the income streams from Searipple and Osprey are underpinned by blue chip customers and provide strong cash flows for the company.

Parts and Accessories

Fleetwood’s parts and accessories segment is comprised of Camec which is a major supplier of components to the RV manufacturing industry and Flexiglass which supplies fibreglass canopies and aluminium trays for utility vehicles.

Despite significant pressure from overseas competitors and the caravan market weakness towards year end noted above, a modest revenue improvement of 1% was generated in 2017. Both businesses remain leaders in their respective markets.

While operating costs and capital employed in this segment remain the subject of close management, there is an opportunity to improve market share through the development of innovative products and strong customer relationships. A number of new products are planned for release during the 2018 financial year.

Discontinued Operation

The company’s discontinued mining rental business generated $6.5m in revenue from residual contracts during the period and delivered a result marginally below break-even.

The remaining stock has been reclassified as a current asset held for sale.

Dividends

Given the improved results and outlook, the directors have declared a fully franked 5 cent per share final dividend. This represents 53% of second half 2017 earnings. The dividend reinvestment plan will apply to this dividend. The plan offers a 2.5% reinvestment discount.
