Preliminary Announcement for the year ended 30 September
2016
Keith Ritchie, Chairman of Titon, said:
"I am delighted to report that for the fourth consecutive year
Titon has delivered an improved set of results with profit before
tax 14% higher year-on-year at GBP2.14 million on revenue up 6%.
Earnings per share also increased significantly (+21%) and the
dividend is to be raised 17%, which marks the fourth year of
consecutive gains.
In the first two months of the new financial year, UK and
continental European sales are above the corresponding period of 12
months ago. We also anticipate that fiscal 2017 sales will rise in
South Korea, where Titon is the market leader in natural
ventilation.
We are mindful of the uncertainty created by the UK's decision
to leave the EU which makes both economic and corporate forecasting
more difficult than usual. To date, however, there has been little
impact on our business and we remain optimistic that satisfactory
exit terms can be negotiated.
We have first class products, an international spread, very good
people and a strong balance sheet and we will continue to look for
new opportunities within the ventilation and window and door
industries. I look forward to another year of progress".

Chairman's statement
Profit and loss account
In the year ended 30 September 2016, Titon's net revenue (which
excludes inter-segment activity) rose 6.3% to GBP23.7 million. On a
constant currency basis, however, the increase is 4.4%.
The gross margin rose marginally from 29.2% to 29.7% and EBITDA
was struck at GBP2.33 million (2015: GBP2.13 million). Earnings
before interest and tax (EBIT) or operating profit rose 13% to
GBP1.77 million with operating margins at 7.5% (2015: 7.0%).
Net interest contributed GBP8,000 (2015: GBP9,000) while the
share of profits from the Group's associate rose 19.5% to
GBP356,000 (2015: GBP298,000) resulting in profit before tax of
GBP2.14 million which was an increase of 14% year-on-year (2015:
GBP1.87 million). The weakness of the British Pound added GBP58,000
to profit before tax, which means that on a constant basis, it
would have been GBP2.08 million or 11% higher year-on-year.
Earnings per share for the year increased 21% to 15.2 pence
(2015: 12.6 pence). Taxation was little changed at 9% but the
non-controlling interests' debit declined from GBP376,000 to
GBP317,000.
The Directors are proposing a final dividend of 2.25 pence per
share (2015: 1.75p). This, when added to the interim dividend paid
on 24 June 2016 would make a total for the year of 3.50 pence
(2015: 3.0p) which would be a 17% rise. If approved by shareholders
at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 15 February 2017, the
dividend will be payable on 21 February 2017 to shareholders on the
register on 27 January 2017. The ex-dividend date is 26 January
2017.
Balance sheet and cash flow
Net assets including minorities rose GBP2.68 million to GBP14.77
million with net cash at GBP2.44 million (GBP2015: GBP2.87 million)
which is equivalent to 16.5% of net assets (2015: 23.7%). There was
a net cash outflow in the year of GBP432,000 (2015: inflow of
GBP721,000) which was caused primarily by higher receivables in
Titon Korea and higher capital expenditure. Total capital
expenditure in the year was GBP721,000 (2015: GBP498,000)
Net current assets were GBP9.04 million (2015: GBP7.39
million).
ROCE* was 15.1% (2015: 18.2).
*ROCE is calculated by dividing EBIT by the sum of shareholders'
funds, non-controlling interests and all debt less intangible
assets and cash

Segment analysis
Revenue derived from the UK business saw an increase of 7% in
fiscal 2016. This included our Ventilation Systems business for
mechanical ventilation products which saw sales rise 21%
year-on-year, with exports doing particularly well. The latter
reflects a continued targeting of and investment in new markets.
The UK gains were also driven by an improving product range and a
better domestic sales performance i.e. we have concentrated a
higher proportion of resources on the economically more active
areas of the UK.
Specifically, the Ventilation Systems business also now includes
a horizontal heat recovery product and the new Trimbox NO2 filter
product. The latter is designed to be used with a whole
house-ventilation system and can remove up to 95% of harmful
Nitrogen Dioxide emissions as well as a number of other noxious
gases which frequent urban areas. Given the poor levels of outdoor
air quality in the major conurbations in the UK, we believe that
this product will prove to be a very useful addition to our product
range in the future. The Trimbox NO2 filter unit was also a winner
in the Housebuilder Product Awards 2016.
The Group has also continued to promote the benefits of good
indoor air quality in the UK through our trade association, BEAMA
(British Electrotechnical and Allied Manufacturers Association).
The aim of this campaign is to promote the use of mechanical
ventilation products in the home to improve air quality. Given an
increasing number of reports about poor levels of both outdoor and
indoor air quality in the UK, we firmly believe that this is an
area of our business which will grow in the future. A new All Party
Parliamentary Group has also recently been formed to debate healthy
homes and buildings and we will contribute to this new forum.
Results for our UK Hardware business were mixed. We saw an
increase in sales to the Aluminium sector but a fall in door and
window products to the Timber/PVCu segment of the market, both
against 2015. There has also been a slower rate of growth in
private housebuilding year-on-year while public sector
housebuilding continues to fall. At the same time, there was only a
marginal increase in private and public sector repair, maintenance
and improvement (RMI) expenditure in 2016. We had also anticipated
increased sale volumes from a number of new hardware products which
were introduced in January 2016, but to date these have
underperformed expectations.
In South Korea, our subsidiary company Titon Korea (51% owned)
manufactures passive ventilation products, and is the national
market leader, but it had a more demanding year in 2016. Revenue
dipped marginally, due to reduced demand in the public sector and
increased competition. This was only partly offset by private
sector demand and meant that Titon Korea's contribution was 17%
lower as a result of higher costs incurred. However, in 2017 sales
are expected to rise.
Meantime, the Group's associate, Browntech Sales Co. Limited
("BTS") generated a higher contribution in the year; and this can
be tracked in the Associate line of the profit and loss account
where it is the sole contributor. The Associate contribution rose
20% in 2016 to GBP356,000 (2015: GBP298,000). BTS distributes
ventilation products in South Korea and invests in and develops
schemes in the domestic residential real estate market. Two are
active at this time, one in Seoul which is currently being marketed
and sold out whilst the other, in the form of a secured loan, is
expected to be repaid early in calendar 2017. BTS may also make
further investments in the South Korean residential market as
opportunities arise.
In combination, subsidiary and associate, South Korea is the
largest single contributor to the Group's profit after tax and this
was virtually unchanged year-on-year at GBP667,000 (2015:
GBP672,000).
Finally, sales in the US continued to grow and Titon Inc. had
another profitable year. However, the market for natural
ventilation products remains relatively modest in scale at this
time and geographically focused on the North East and the North
West regions.
Board
I am delighted to welcome Kevin Sargeant to the Titon Board
following his appointment as a Non-Executive Director on 1
September 2016. Kevin brings a wealth of experience and knowledge
of the ventilation industry and we look forward to his contribution
to the Group in the future. I also welcome Tony Gearey to the Board
as an Executive Director following his appointment on 2 November
2016. Tony has been with Titon for over 30 years and is responsible
for IT and Titon Inc.

Chairman's statement (continued)
Employees
The number of people employed within the Group has risen from
219 at the beginning of the year to 237 at 30 September 2016. Most
of these new individuals are in the UK, where we have employed a
team of ten as part of a new ducting fabrication business taken on
during the year. We also introduced the National Living Wage in
April 2016 which benefited a number of our weekly paid employees.
However, we will continue to seek improvements in productivity to
offset the additional cost. Here, too, I would like to thank all of
our employees for their hard work during the year and the huge
contribution they make to the success of the Group.
New Head Office
Since 1984, the Group had been headquartered at International
House in Stanway which is west of Colchester in Essex, East of
England. However, due to its age and lack of amenities, the
building no longer proved to be efficient or practical and from
early September, we have been located in the Colchester Business
Park. This has proved both more efficient and popular. The move was
also achieved without any disruption to our business.
Investors
As noted in the Interim Report we appointed Hardman & Co. to
write research on Titon and to introduce us to a range of
institutional and high net worth investors. This has been a
valuable experience and we will continue to work with Hardman to
further raise our profile.
Outlook
In the first two months of the new financial year, UK and
continental European sales are above the corresponding period of 12
months ago. We also anticipate that our fiscal 2017 sales will rise
in South Korea, where Titon is the market leader in natural
ventilation. We will continue to monitor the current political
situation in Korea but don't anticipate major disruption to the
economy.
We are mindful of the uncertainty created by the UK's decision
to leave the EU which makes both economic and corporate forecasting
more difficult than usual. To date, however, there has been little
impact on our business and we remain optimistic that satisfactory
exit terms can be negotiated.
We have first class products, an international spread, very good
people and a strong balance sheet and we will continue to look for
new opportunities within our target markets. I look forward to
another year of progress.
On behalf of the Board.

3 Revenue and segmental information
In identifying its operating segments, management generally
follows the Group's reporting lines, which represent the main
geographic markets in which the Group operates. The segment
reporting below is shown in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the Board, which is the Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM). These operating segments are monitored and
strategic decisions are made on the basis of segment operating
results. The Group operates four main business segments which
are:
Segment Activities undertaken include:
United Kingdom Sales of passive and powered ventilation products
to house builders, electrical contractors and
window and door manufacturers. In addition
to this, it is a leading supplier of window
and door hardware.
South Korea Sales of passive ventilation products to construction
companies.
North America
Sales of passive ventilation products to window
manufacturers.
All other Sales of passive and powered ventilation products
countries to distributors, window manufacturers and construction
companies
Inter-segment revenue is transacted on an arm's length basis and
charged at prevailing market prices for a specific product and
market or cost plus where no direct comparative market price is
available. Segment results include items directly attributable to a
segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable
basis. Research and development entity-wide financial expenses are
allocated to the business activities for which R&D is
specifically performed. Sales Administration and Other Expenses are
currently allocated to operating segments in the Group's reporting
to the CODM. Other Expenses include mainly central and parent
company overheads relating to group management, the finance
function and regulatory requirements.
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting
under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in its financial
statements.
The total assets for the segments represent the consolidated
total assets attributable to these reporting segments. Parent
company results and consolidation adjustments reconciling the
segmental results and total assets to the consolidated financial
statements, are included within the United Kingdom segment figures
stated over page.
