Braime Group PLC
("Braime" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries
the "Group")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30th June 2023
The Company presents its unaudited interims results for the six
months ended 30th June 2023:
Performance
At the time of our 2022 results announcement in April 2023, we
noted that the year had began positively for the Group, albeit the
post-pandemic economic effects, the energy crisis, and the Ukraine
war made it even more difficult than usual, to predict future
trading. The directors are therefore pleased to report that the
Group's performance has remained strong in the first half of
2023.
Group sales revenue for the first six months of 2023 increased
by 16% to GBP24.7m when compared to GBP21.3m for the same period in
2022, while profit from operations was GBP2.3m compared to GBP2.0m
(before exceptional item) for the same six month-period last year.
Profit before tax increased to GBP2.1m compared to GBP1.6m for the
same period in 2022. Profit after tax for the first six months of
2023 was GBP1.5m compared to GBP1.1m in 2022. We also noted at the
time of our announcement that the first quarter of 2023 saw the
different parts of the Group performing quite differently, with the
Asian regions relatively subdued, but with USA our key market,
remaining particularly buoyant. This trend has continued into the
second quarter of 2023.
The positive performance of the Group is despite Sterling
strengthening against the US dollar during the first half of 2023.
A significant proportion of the Group's income is earned in the
USA, and consequently, Sterling strengthening (GBP to USD of
1:1.2714 at the end of June 2023 compared to 1:1.204 at the end of
2022) results in a decrease in profit for the Group when reported
in Sterling. Similarly, as a result of Sterling strengthening
against other currencies, foreign currency losses have been
incurred by the UK companies, as they hold significant overseas
intercompany loan balances.
During the year, the Group has continued to improve its Hunslet
Road property, to enhance and maintain operational efficiencies.
These results include GBP300,000 of ground repair costs, where the
recent discovery of a second subterranean well to the rear of our
property well has resulted in a temporary diversion of our dispatch
operations.
Taking these factors into account, the underlying trading
performance of the Group in the first half of the year is
particularly pleasing.
Dividends
In line with the Group's policy to maintain dividend growth,
balanced alongside the Group's requirement for investment in
capital to support long-term growth, the directors have decided to
increase the interim dividend from 4.75p to 5.25p per share. This
dividend will be paid on 13th October 2023 to the Ordinary and 'A'
Ordinary shareholders on the register on the 29th September 2023.
The associated ex-dividend date is 28th September 2023.
Braime Pressings Limited
External sales revenue of GBP3.2m in the first 6 months of 2023
was 9% up on the same period last year, largely due to an increase
in steel commodity prices which has driven up sales revenues.
Intercompany sales also increased by GBP95,000, an increase of 4%.
The manufacturing division made a profit after tax of GBP507,000 in
the six-month period to June 2023, in line with the same period
last year.
4B Division
Our distribution division's external sales revenue of GBP21.5m
increased by 17% when compared to GBP18.3m for the same period last
year. Intercompany trading was GBP3.1m, unchanged from the same
period in 2022. As mentioned, the division has benefitted from an
increase in demand in the USA, in particular in our electronics
products, as customers have continued to invest in new projects
following the upturn in activity that we witnessed in 2022. EBITDA
rose by 13% to GBP2.6m. The results for the 4B division have been
negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations and profit
after tax for the 4B division for the six-month period increased by
11% to GBP1.5m compared to GBP1.4m for the same period last
year.
Balance Sheet
Net assets of the Group as at 30th June 2023 amounted to
GBP20.1m (30th June 2022 - GBP17.3m). Tangible fixed asset
additions during the period amounted to GBP784,000. Of this,
GBP359,000 relates to the enhancement of the chain cell facility
and GBP97,000 relates to the installation of additional solar
panels at our Leeds headquarters which takes our energy generated
from green solar PV to 310kwH. Other capital investments relate to
items of manufacturing and IT equipment, including GBP138,000
relating to a new moulding machine in the USA.
Inventory of GBP13.0m has increased by GBP1.9m when compared to
30th June 2022 but decreased by GBP264,000 when compared to 31st
December 2022. The increase from June 2022 was in part due to large
increases in raw material prices, and in part, due to stocking up
at the end of 2022 to meet increased customer demand. This
materialised in the first half of 2023 leading to the reduction in
inventory levels compared to the year end. Trade receivables of
GBP8.9m have increased by GBP445,000 when compared to 30th June
2022 as a consequence of the rise in revenue in 2023. Trade
payables of GBP7.1m have increased by GBP1.1m when compared to 30th
June 2022 but decreased by GBP1.5m when compared to 31st December
2022 reflecting the increase in activity as well as the stock
purchasing profile during the year.
Cash flow
The net cash position of the Group at the end of June 2023 was
GBP886,000 compared to an overdrawn balance as at 30th June 2022 of
GBP201,000. Cash generated from operations before working capital
movements was GBP1.7m. Working capital (inventory, receivables and
payables) increases for the six-month period came to GBP1.5m as a
consequence of increased trading activity outlined above.
Investment in capital projects gave rise to outflows of GBP784,000.
There were proceeds from new loans of GBP1.2m, of which GBP978,000
related to bank loan for the re-development of the chain cell, (as
reported in our end-of-year announcement in April 2023), with the
balance relating to robotic equipment financed under hire purchase
arrangements. Overall, net cash increased by GBP100,000 during the
six months to 30th June 2023. The business has good headroom within
its GBP3.5m bank overdraft facility and management remain focused
in ensuring that working capital requirements, particularly for
stock and debtors, are carefully monitored and controlled.
Principal exchange rates
The Group reports its results in Sterling, its presentational
currency. The Group operates in six other currencies and the
average of the principal exchange rates in use during the half year
and the closing rates as at 30th June 2023 are shown in the table
below, along with comparatives. As mentioned previously, a
significant proportion of the Group revenues are derived in the
USA. The Group has incurred foreign exchange losses as a result of
the strengthening of Sterling against the US Dollar since 31st
December 2022.
The loss on translation of overseas assets amounted to
GBP505,000 for the six-month period, as shown in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income table on page 5.

------------------------------------- ------- ------------ ------------ ------------
Notes to KPI's
1. Turnover growth
The Group aims to increase shareholder value by measuring the
year-on-year growth in Group revenue. Revenues are up due to the
strong demand in the material handling sectors and a rise in raw
material prices.
2. Gross margin
Gross profit (revenue less change in inventories and raw
materials used) as a percentage of revenue is monitored to maximise
profits available for reinvestment and distribution to
shareholders. Gross margin is ahead of the same period last year as
strong demand has provided the opportunity to increase selling
prices on certain product ranges. The directors continue to monitor
the margins carefully for further movement.
3. Operating profit
Sustainable growth in operating profit is a strategic priority
to enable ongoing investment and increase shareholder value.
Operating profits have improved as a direct result of the increase
in sales in both the manufacturing and the 4B division and a
reduction in property repair costs.
4. Stock days
The value of period-end inventories divided by raw materials and
consumables used and changes in inventories of finished goods and
work in progress expressed as a number of days is monitored to
ensure the right level of stocks are held in order to meet customer
demands whilst not carrying excessive amounts which impacts upon
working capital requirements. Stock days have increased from the
level as at June 2022 as a result of increased inventory unit
prices and but decreased compared to stock days as at December 2022
as stock built up at the end of 2022 have been utilised. Management
are focused on reducing the level of stock days.
5. Debtor days
The value of period-end trade receivables divided by revenue
expressed as a number of days. This is an important indicator of
working capital requirements. It is pleasing to see that debtor
days at 57 days are lower than the equivalent figure as at June
2022 and from the figure as at December 2022 despite the increase
in sales activity. Management remain focused on reducing this to
improve cash.
Other metrics monitored weekly or monthly include quality
measures (such as customer complaints), raw materials buying
prices, capital expenditure, line utilisation, reportable accidents
and near-misses.
Outlook for the second half of 2023
4B USA remains buoyant as the US economy continues its post
Covid boom; but historically is likely to be negatively affected by
the usual uncertainty and delays in committing to new Capex
investments as the US approaches a Presidential election in
2024.
Our subsidiaries in the Asia region, 4B China, 4B Asia and 4B
Australia are all affected by the very unusual current recession in
the Asian economies and 4B France is now starting to feel the same
downturn in the EU. However, both our UK operations are still
performing well. 4B Braime Components has recently launched
globally several exciting new products and Braime Pressings in the
autumn will be trialing two new very promising long-term
contracts.
Overall, we think 2023 will continue the run of good results in
recent years, even though it is unlikely that the Group will be
able to repeat last year's record result, because global trading
conditions have deteriorated substantially. In 2024 and in the
longer term, the Group remains well placed to make further
progress. Our hard-working staff have become accustomed to
successfully overcoming new challenges and outperforming the
general market. Meanwhile the Board continues to focus on
developing new products and new markets.
Employees
All our employees in the Group, regardless of location continue
to make a major contribution and we thank them for their
efforts.
