Operating and financial review
The detailed Operating and Financial Review (OFR) is contained in the Directors’ Report within the Interim Financial Report. The results and major factors contributing to the results are summarised here:
-
Sales of $30.4 million, down $9.3 million ($8.2 million Africa) or 23% on 1H 2020, but up 7.0% on 2H 2020, with a particularly stronger 4Q (October - December).
-
Gross Profit margin increased to 28.1% from 25.4% in 1H 2020.
-
Underlying EBITDA[1] of $2.1 million up 20% on 1H 2020, and up 46% on 2H 2020. A record half-year result for Stealth.
-
Statutory EBITDA of $1.15 million, up 57% on 1H 2020, and up 68% on 2H 2020. A record half-year result for Stealth.
-
Statutory Net Profit After Tax of $0.17 million (including $0.95 million of investment related costs) versus Net Profit After Tax of $0.03 million in 1H 2020 and $0.07 million in 2H 2020.
Australia Trading
Sales in Australia declined by 6.5% in 1H 2021 compared to 1H 2020 largely as a result of the impact of COVID-19. However, sales improved by 11.3% compared to 2H 2020 as states and regions managed restrictions and lockdowns supported by Government economic stimulus.
The COVID-19 situation bolstered by a strong pivot to PPE and other related products created sales opportunities for the Company. New customers were gained including new arrangements with Government bodies in Western Australia, Aged Care, Hospitals, Schools and in Construction where the Company supplied its range of Safety PPE, Masks, Gloves, Sanitizers, Cleaning, Hygiene, and other related consumables that will be ongoing in the future. These products continue to be high demand.
International Trading
BSA Brands (UK) a 50/50 joint venture with Bisley Workwear, delivered revenue of $1.09 million up 56% or $0.4 million compared to a year ago and even stronger uplift compared to 2H 2020 by $0.7 million. After establishing a network of 74 new distributor stores across the UK and 4 in Africa during FY2020, the UK economy effectively shut down from March 2020 and continues to be impacted causing a temporary deferral of expansion of distributor stores in the UK and progressing potential new customer arrangements. That said, Sales and Operating Profit has significantly improved compared to a year ago powered by the investment made in FY2020. In a $1 billion addressable market, the Company remains committed to developing the Bisley range in the UK and Africa markets.
1 Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS term representing Underlying Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), which has not been subject to audit or review but has been determined using information presented in the Group’s interim financial report and is determined after adding back unusual costs to the Statutory EBITDA.
Other Sales into Africa were $0.8m for the half year compared to $9.0m a year ago which was expected as the Company reset and repositioned its focus on more profitable customers in its major trading regions and tailored product categories into this market. This was a strategic decision, communicated in December 2019, and taken to improve operating margins. It resulted in relinquishing the Company’s single largest customer where price declines had eroded margins to single digit gross profit contribution with a high cost to serve. The reduction in direct Africa sales whilst considerable, has had little impact on profit to the Company, largely replaced by new higher margin sales in Australia and the UK businesses and sizeable reduction in operating expenses.
Major Investments and Acquisitions
A key area in Stealth’s strategy is making complementary value generating acquisitions. Stealth identified and assessed several potential acquisitions of scale, investing significant management time and working with external advisors to undertake due diligence and assessment of strategic fit to the Company’s disciplined criteria. Stealth completed the $3.83 million acquisition of C&L Tool Centre (C&L) on 1 December 2020 adding annual sales of $14 million and annual EBITDA of $1.3+ million. Expenditure on acquisition advisory, due diligence costs and establishing new bank finance arrangements was $0.35 million with minimal corresponding revenue but is expected in future periods. These costs included an evaluation of a significant acquisition opportunity that the Company did not complete due to shortcomings in earnings valuation criteria from a change in market conditions. Several opportunities are still being considered that will be value accretive.
Key advancements have been made in eCommerce digital platforms where Stealth invested $0.31 million. In January 2021 the Company launched the new Bisley United Kingdom B2C Online e-store. Three other new Online e-store websites will be launched in March and April 2021 for business and retail customers in Australia. This is expected to deliver increased sales across the group from having a world-class capability to fully integrate systems with business customers, suppliers and partners complete with comprehensive Online sales platforms to business and retail customers with full data analytics.

Operating and Financial Review
Financial Performance
Stealth’s trading performance continued to improve in 1H 2021, building on the momentum started in the second half of FY2020. Revenue returned to positive growth, up 7% on 2H 2020. COVID-19 continued to impact overall market conditions, however the Company has managed costs, retained customer relationships, and customer activity has been returning.
As a result of the change in the Company’s Africa strategy in December 2019 to refocus on more profitable customers, Group revenue was down 23% on 1H 2020, however earnings have significantly improved in line with the strategy. The Company delivered a record statutory EBITDA, higher gross margin %, and higher statutory Net Profit on the lower revenue base. The results and major factors contributing to the results are summarised here:
-
Sales of $30.4 million, down $9.3 million ($8.2 million Africa) or 23% on 1H 2020, but up 7.0% on 2H 2020, with a particularly stronger 4Q (October - December).
-
Gross Profit margin increased to 28.1% from 25.4% in 1H 2020.
-
Underlying EBITDA[1] of $2.1 million up 20% on 1H 2020, and up 46% on 2H 2020. A record half-year result for Stealth.
-
Statutory EBITDA of $1.15 million, up 57% on 1H 2020, and up 68% on 2H 2020. A record half-year result for Stealth.
-
Statutory Net Profit After Tax of $0.17 million (including $0.95 million of investment related costs) versus Net Profit After Tax of $0.03 million in 1H 2020 and $0.07 million in 2H 2020.

1 Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS term representing Underlying Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), which has not been subject to audit or review but has been determined using information presented in the Group’s interim financial report and is determined after adding back unusual costs to the Statutory EBITDA.
The group has five operating brand models, Heatleys Safety and Industrial, BSA Brands (UK), C&L Tools, ISG (Industrial Supply Group) and AWS (Australian Workplace Supplies), delivering in support of the goal to build a compelling world class sales and distribution organisation.
Australia Trading
Sales in Australia declined by 6.5% in 1H 2021 compared to 1H 2020 largely as a result of the impact of COVID-19. However, sales improved by 11.3% compared to 2H 2020 as states and regions managed restrictions and lockdowns supported by Government economic stimulus.

BSA Brands (UK) a 50/50 joint venture with Bisley Workwear, delivered revenue of $1.09 million up 56% or $0.4 million compared to a year ago and even stronger uplift compared to 2H 2020 by $0.7 million. After establishing a network of 74 new distributor stores across the UK and 4 in Africa during FY2020, the UK economy effectively shut down from March 2020 and continues to be impacted causing a temporary deferral of expansion of distributor stores in the UK and progressing potential new customer arrangements.

Key advancements have been made in eCommerce digital platforms where Stealth invested $0.31 million. In January 2021 the Company launched the new Bisley United Kingdom B2C Online e-store. Two other new Online e-store websites will be launched in March and April 2021 for business and retail customers in Australia. This is expected to deliver increased sales across the group from having a world-class capability to fully integrate systems with business customers, suppliers and partners complete with comprehensive Online sales platforms to business and retail customers with full data analytics.
COVID-19
The first half of the financial year continued to be affected by the impact from COVID-19, as well as the necessary measures implemented by the Company, its customers, and governments across the globe to manage the risk posed to human life.
Stealth used the period to challenge its cost base and has reduced its operating cost structure. Some redundancies unfortunately had to be undertaken at a cost of $0.1 million. The Company continues to successfully take several proactive measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of the business and to protect the safety and wellbeing of its employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates.
With preventive government measures gradually being lifted in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, demand from customers in these geographies has been steadily improving with stronger sales expected in the second half of FY2021 subject to any further government lockdown measures being undertaken. The Company continues to monitor and proactively manage ongoing impacts from COVID-19. The situation is constantly evolving and may impact earnings in the future.
In the United Kingdom, FY2021 Sales and Profit will exceed FY2020, driven by the investment made in FY2020 placing Bisley product throughout some 80 distribution locations across the UK and in Africa. The UK economy remains restricted and we have a temporary deferral on establishing more distributor stores and progressing potential new customer arrangements. This is expected to ease in the coming months as the COVID-19 vaccine is rolled out to the community and as we enter warmer weather conditions.

Future Developments
Stealth has a diversified business portfolio and a growing customer base. The vast nature of the wide-ranging products it sells is expected to provide a steady flow of repeat sales activity in future periods, whilst new integrated supply chain service offerings will generate new income and profit streams.
Stealth continues to make good progress on its strategy seeing positive results from all parts of the business, despite the interruption caused by COVID-19. The Company is very encouraged by stronger trading conditions expected in the second half of FY2021 and is well positioned to capitalise on growth organically and by acquisition, together with the upcoming launch of three new Online e-stores tailored for customers in trade, retail and business and its e-business platform specifically for business customers.
The integration and financial performance of the recent C&L acquisition is expected to also support a stronger second half of FY2021 and beyond, subject to any further disruptions because of COVID-19 restrictions. C&L provides a new geographic location in Queensland with an east coast distribution hub to better serve customer expansion.
While the global economic outlook in the wake of COVID-19 remains uncertain, in Australia, trading conditions are positive for Stealth’s business and expected to provide Stealth with growth over coming years, particularly from the resources, construction, building, transportation, infrastructure, trade sectors and Online buying from general retail consumers. Successful recent capital raisings for junior and intermediate mining companies supported by strengthening commodity prices such as Iron Ore and Gold, has resulted in new contract awards to ‘services contracting’ firms delivering strong levels of tendering activity for Stealth.
The Company has the aim of reaching $200m of Revenue by 2025. It remains on track for longer term growth targets. Organic growth-related programs and further acquisitions will be integral to achieving this.
Risk
The primary risks that the business is exposed to have not changed from the risk analysis presented in the latest Annual Report, with the exception of the Coronavirus and its evolving potential impact on worldwide logistics, supply chain certainty, customer spend, international travel and the human impact on our staff or their families.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid or recommended during the financial half year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: nil).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2020
Section A: Significant Changes in the Current Reporting Period
Stealth has a diversified business portfolio and a growing customer base. The vast nature of the wide-ranging products it sells is expected to provide a steady flow of repeat sales activity in future periods, whilst new integrated supply chain service offerings will generate new income and profit streams. Stealth continues to make good progress on its strategy seeing positive results from all parts of the business, despite the interruption caused by COVID-19. The Company is very encouraged by stronger trading conditions expected in the second half of FY2021 and is well positioned to capitalise on growth organically and by acquisition (including recent acquisition of C&L Tool Centre Pty Ltd), together with the upcoming launch of three new Online e-stores tailored for customers in trade, retail and business and its e-business platform specifically for business customers. The bank refinance completed in January 2021 provides the Group with expanded finance facilities of $10.5 million, compared to $7.4 million previously, to support it operating activities and ongoing investments.
The financial position and performance of the Group was particularly affected by the following events and transactions during the six months to 31 December 2020:
-
positive sales and earnings momentum after change in Africa strategy in December 2019 to refocus on more profitable customers.
-
acquisition of C&L Tool Centre Pty Ltd (C&L) on 1 December 2020. C&L operates in a complementary market to the Group’s existing operations and provides a new geographic location in Queensland with an east coast distribution hub to better serve customer expansion.
-
BSA Brands UK revenue of $1.09 million up 56% or $0.4m compared to a year ago and even stronger uplift compared to 2H 2020 by $0.7m as the Group developed Africa customers while local UK market experienced lockdowns and COVID-19 related impacts.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period:
- in January 2021, the Group completed a refinance to CBA from its previous facilities with Westpac and ANZ. Total Group finance facilities under CBA are $10.5 million, compared to $7.4 million previously under combined Westpac and ANZ arrangements.
For a detailed discussion about the Group’s performance and financial position, please refer to the Operating and Financial Review on pages 6 to 8 of this interim financial report.

Section B: Business Performance
B1 Operating Segments
The Consolidated Entity results are reported as three business areas based on geographic regions (by management location), which are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors. The principal results reviewed for each area are revenue and adjusted operating profit.
The Board of Directors’ view is that there are three reportable segments, being the business areas of Australia, UK and Rest of the World. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors 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 Consolidated Entity.
All intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements. Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. Usually segment assets are clearly identifiable based on their nature and physical location. Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. The following items of revenue and expenses are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: Finance expense and Income tax expense/(credit).
Revenue includes revenue from services amounting to $513 earned during the reporting period (2019: $137,315) which is recognised over time. The remaining revenue is derived from the sale of goods which is recognised at a point in time.

Impairment
The Consolidated Entity has assessed each CGU for impairment at 31 December 2020 (including acquisition of C&L Tool Centre Pty Ltd in December 2020). For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) was based on its value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of each CGU.
-
Key assumptions applied in the estimation of value in use were the same across each CGU, being a pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of 12% based on a weighted average cost of capital; revenue growth rate of 0% and a terminal value growth rate of 2%.
-
The value in use assessment was calculated based on the present value of the cash flow projections over a five-year period and include a terminal value at the end of year five based on a growth rate of 2%. The cash flow projections over the fiveyear period are based on the Group’s performance and growth over the forecast periods based on the Group’s plans and management’s assessment of the impacts of underlying economic conditions, past performance and other factors on each CGU’s financial performance.
The calculated recoverable amount for each CGU was determined to be greater than its carrying amount and therefore no impairment adjustment is required to be recognised.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, in early January 2021, the Group completed a refinance of its banking facilities. The refinance saw the Group repay in full its Westpac facility and commence a new facility with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). This refinance has increased the Group’s available facilities from $7,400,000 to $10,500,000.
The Westpac facility was secured by the trade debtors of Heatley Sales Pty Ltd and a floating charge over the assets of the Heatleys Group. The interest rate was variable and was 3.57% at 31 December 2020 (3.64% at 30 June 2020).
This CBA facility is secured by first charge over the assets of the Group’s Australian operations.

The amount of $250,000 is for the ISG deferred settlement and the amounts of $450,000 and $275,000 (split between current and non-current) is the deferred settlement following the acquisition of C&L Tool Centre Pty Ltd.
The funds contribution from the non-controlling interest partner in BSA is interest bearing at 4% (4% at 30 June 2020) per annum, unsecured, and is repayable only on a resolution of the Board of BSA or in the event that the company ceases business.

| Total net identifable assets acquired | 2,650,202 |
| Goodwill – C&L Tools acquisition | 1,555,442 |
The goodwill is attributable to the strong market position and unique product mix that C&L Tools offers, its profitability, and the synergies expected to arise from the acquisition. As the acquisition only executed in December 2020, the fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets are provisional at the half-year, pending final provisioning and fair value reviews focused on Receivables, Inventory and Property Plant and Equipment and any associated taxation implications.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. If new information obtained within one year of date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition identifies adjustments to the above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.
Acquisition-related costs of $0.07 million are included in transaction costs in profit or loss.
The deferred consideration payable has two components. $0.45 million to be paid subject to C&L achieving required profit threshold for the 12-month period following completion. The balance is an estimate of consideration payable based on a 25% share of net pre-tax profit earned above $0.9 million in the 12-month period following completion, which equates to an EBITDA achievement of $2.0 million, a targeted uplift from historical performance. It will adjust by $0.03 million for every $0.10 million over or below $2.0 million.
The acquired business contributed revenues of $1.02 million and net loss after tax of $0.03 million for the period 1 December 2020 to 31 December 2020. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2020, consolidated revenue and consolidated profit after tax attributable to members for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 would have been $37.9 million and $0.72 million respectively.

(b) Prior Period
In October 2019 the Group competed the acquisition of the business and assets of Protect A Load. Details of this business combination were disclosed in Note F3 Business Combinations in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
F3 Financial Instruments
The Company holds no Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments at 31 December 2020, nor at 30 June 2020.
At 30 June 2020, the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities was not materially different to their carrying value. At 31 December 2020, the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments continue not to be materially different to their carrying value.
During the half-year, deferred consideration of $0.72 million relating to the acquisition of C&L was recognised on the Group’s Balance Sheet. $0.45 million of this is current, with the residual payable in January 2022. All the Group’s borrowings at 31 December 2020 are classified as current liabilities.
As a Level 3 fair value measurement, the deferred consideration of $0.72 million is based on:
-
$0.45 million is current and therefore no discount rate is applied. It is based on an EBITDA threshold. Expected EBITDA for C&L is ~$1.3 million, at which level 100% of the consideration is payable. The amount is fixed regardless of the extent the threshold is exceeded. Below the threshold, it reduces dollar-for-dollar by the amount by which the threshold is underachieved.
-
$0.275 million is non-current but payable in early January 2022, so no discount rate has been applied. It is based on a 25% share of net pre-tax profit earned above $0.9 million in the 12-month period following completion which equates to an EBITDA achievement of $2.0 million, a targeted uplift form historical performance. It will adjust by $0.03 million for every $0.10 million over or below $2.0 million.
Section G: Other Information
G1 Subsequent Events
In January 2021, the Group completed a refinance to CBA from its previous facilities with Westpac and ANZ. Total Group finance facilities under CBA are $10.5 million, compared to $7.4 million previously under combined Westpac and ANZ arrangements.
In February 2021, Mr Sam Barbaro, Heatleys Managing Director, retired from the business.
Other than the matters noted above there has not been during the period between 31 December 2020 and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors, to significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future reporting periods.

This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the estimation of income tax in Section D and the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any required revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Stealth Global Holdings Ltd
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Stealth Global Holdings Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the directors for the 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 for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
