PRO-PAC PACKAGING LIMITED (ASX: PPG)

COMMENTARY ON RESULTS FOR THE 2013 FINANCIAL YEAR

During the 2013 Financial Year, the Company continued to achieve good top line growth, both organically and through acquisitions. Revenue grew 30% or $40 million to $173 million of which acquisitions made during the 2013 financial year contributed approximately $25 million. Despite the increased revenue, difficult trading conditions particularly over the final quarter of the financial year, combined with the impact of increased costs associated with the significantly enhanced infrastructure which was put in place during the financial year to cope with future anticipated growth, negatively impacted reported earnings.

The 2013 result included $1.7 million of relocation, restructuring and business combination costs relating predominantly to the integration of new acquisitions and the consolidation of the Industrial Division's operations in WA and NSW. After inclusion of these costs, EBITDA was down 8% to $11.1 million and profit after tax was down 11% to $5.2 million broadly in line with the Company's June 2013 market update.

In accordance with the Company's strategy of continuing to expand its product and service offering to the food manufacturing and processing industries, five of the eight acquisitions completed during the financial year were involved in the distribution or manufacturing of primary packaging to the meat, poultry, baking and prepared meals sectors.

While the Company will continue to assess synergistic and accretive acquisitions, focus for the first half of FY14 will be on reaping the benefits of the investments made in expanding and enhancing the Company's national capability and infrastructure and on maximising the opportunities presented by the recent acquisitions.

A fully franked interim dividend of one cent per share was paid on 16 May 2013. The Company has today declared a fully franked final dividend of one cent per share. The record date for determining entitlement to the dividend is 11 September 2013 and the dividend will be paid on 25 September 2013. The Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan will not apply to this dividend.

NOTE 16: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings since the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

  • the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;
  • the manufacturing process;

Types of products and services by segment

Industrial packaging

The Industrial packaging division manufactures, sources and distributes industrial packaging materials and related products and services. All products produced or distributed are aggregated as one reportable segment as the products are similar in nature and are distributed to similar types of customers. The industrial packaging segment also installs, supports and maintains packaging machines.

NOTE 16: OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONTINUED)

Rigid packaging

The Rigid packaging division manufactures, sources and distributes containers and closures and related products and services. All products produced or distributed are aggregated as one reportable segment as the products are similar in nature and are manufactured and distributed to similar types of customers.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Inter-segment transactions

An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-entity sales. This price is re-set regularly and is usually based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm's length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation for the Group's financial statements.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.

Segment Assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Unless indicated otherwise in the assets role, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment Liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain borrowings.

Unallocated items

The following items of revenue, expenses, asset and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: impairment of assets and other non-recurring revenue or expenses; income tax expense; deferred tax asset and liabilities; current tax liabilities; other financial liabilities; intangible assets.

NOTE 17: AUDIT STATUS

This report is based on financial reports that are in the process of being audited.

NOTE 18: LONG TERM EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

Under AIFRS, shares issued to executives under the Long Term Executive Incentive Plan are considered to be options granted. As such, the contributed equity (share capital) as well as the related receivable are not recognised on the statement of financial position and do not form part of the asset base in the calculation of the basic net assets and basic net tangible assets per security.
