SCOTT ANNOUNCES FY21 INTERIM RESULTS

• Positive momentum as the Scott 2025 strategy takes hold, delivering a streamlined cost

structure, a focus on core areas of proven expertise and improved performance

• Year on year increases in revenue and EBITDA and strong gross margin improvement

• Revenue up 5% to $104.5m, gross margin up 28% to 23%, EBITDA of $11.2m and net profit

after tax of $4.7m

• Strong programme of forward work with new system design and build contracts in Europe,

USA, China and Australasia and continuing growth in product and service businesses

• Dividend declared of 2.0 cents per share

Automation and robotics solutions provider, Scott Technology Limited (NZX: SCT), has today released

its unaudited interim results for the six months to 28 February 2021 (H1 F21).

The results reflect the positive momentum being gained as the Scott 2025 strategy takes hold and as

most regions commence the recovery from COVID-19. This has seen forward work programs in

Europe, USA, China and Australasia grow firmly from this time a year ago as new system design and

build contracts have been awarded at a steady and focused pace over recent months.

The product and service businesses of Scott are continuing to show strong recovery and positive

margin performances. The mining products and parts business - Rocklabs - together with the

BladeStop product revenues into the meat industry are showing strong growth on prior year. Service

revenues across several key markets are also growing as the team places increasing importance on

executing up-front service level agreements with key customers.

These revenue streams are all supported by the streamlined operating cost structure now in place

following last year’s restructuring activity across all regions and Group head office. This is seeing an

increase in margins.

The focus on employee health and safety across the Group is reflected in a large increase in reported

near-misses – seen as a forward-looking indicator as avoids potential future risk – while the ‘lag’

indicators of lost time injuries fell to zero at the half year. This is great progress and a result of the

deep and sincere commitment from employees across the Scott Group.

CEO of Scott Technology John Kippenberger, said: “Despite the ongoing disruptions of the global

pandemic and the pressures this continues to place on our international operations and travel, the

team at Scott has demonstrated strong progress with our new focused strategy, including positive

strides forward on team safety and earnings performance.


Our priority remains to deliver in our proven areas of expertise in systems technology, products and

service. As the world begins to slowly open up as vaccines are rolled out, we are confident of

building on the early positive momentum seen in H1 F21”.

1: Non trading adjustments related to receipt of the wage subsidy

H1 F21 revenue of $104.5m was 5% higher than the prior comparative period (pcp) as Scott’s strategy

of more revenue from proven systems, product and service delivers revenue growth.

EBITDA of $11.2m recovered to exceed the pre-COVID performance of $10.4m from the first half of

FY19.

Improved revenue as well as a significant right sizing program delivered a 28% improvement in Gross

Margins to 23%. The right sizing program also contributed significantly to the growth in EBITDA, with

overhead cost reduction falling $4.1m, a drop of 25% versus H1 F20.

Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $4.7m for the six months, significantly ahead of pcp which included

the costs associated with the right sizing programme in 2020.

Operating Cash Flow of $5.3m was $4.4m ahead of H1 F20. The Group had cash in the bank of $6.2m

as at 28 February 2021.

Net Debt of $2.9m remained stable relative to the FY20 year-end position ($3.4m). An upgraded bank

facility has recently been agreed with Scott’s existing provider to support further growth and working

capital requirements.

In recognition of the progress made by the Company, the Directors are pleased to declare an interim

(unimputed) dividend of 2.0 cents per share, payable on 10 May 2021. The Dividend Reinvestment

Plan will apply.


COVID-19 Update

The impact of COVID-19 is still being felt deeply across the Group, as travel restrictions within markets

and across continents often prevent sales meetings in person and continues to inhibit some projects

with balancing the project skill needs with the resources available within that state or region.

However, the Scott team, through its agility and adapting to new ways of working – including

completing factory acceptance testing by virtual technology - has seen many examples of positive

forward progress notwithstanding the travel challenges.

With the roll-out of the vaccine around the world we look forward to operating again in a more ‘open’

environment later in 2021.

As the markets open up and industrial demand for automation continues to grow, the key priority for

our team is to remain focused and committed to our core areas of proven expertise, avoiding unknown

areas of risk. This is the central underlying theme of Scott 2025.


Regional Business Updates


Scott Europe - Emerging from BREXIT and COVID-19

Our European business has delivered an important and timely lift in business performance for the first

half as work levels build – through projects including, but not limited to, McCain and Alliance. Service

work continues to grow and the product business of BladeStop (meat) and Normaclass (meat) gains

traction through executive attention and growing market demand.

The business is seeing a growing appetite from within the European Union food industry in particular,

to re-start investment in capacity expansion projects. This is delivering positive signs in the level of

inbound interest and pipeline of opportunities for Scott.

Scott Australas ia – Strong product & service demand supported by positive new projects

Strong global demand in our mining product business – Rocklabs - has combined with a focused

growth in our service business to provide important cashflow and margin generation within our

Australasian business. Our BladeStop product business is also seeing steady demand again, as more

focus and support is applied to this important part of our business.

New project work in the form of large meat automation systems - most notably Alliance (NZ), a leading

meat processor (Australia) and poultry trussing (USA) – together with the completion of a number of

mid-size industrial automation projects, has seen an important return to profitability for our projects

business in New Zealand and Australia. Our mining team is deeply embedded in the commissioning

of a large complex automated laboratory system in West Australia for mining services provider

MinAnalytical, while the two large Rio Tinto projects continue to track through the design and build

phases towards the planned ex-factory timelines.

Demand signals for our meat business – products and systems – and mining products business

continue to remain positive.

Scott China – Growing workloads from washer cabinet demand in the whitegoods sector

The team in China continue to experience positive growth through ongoing demand for our quality

automation solutions into the whitegoods appliance sector.

While in itself our China business is in the early stages of its life, the growth opportunities are clear

and our ambitions to build a much larger business in China remain on track. Further, the Scott China

team and operation will play an increasing role in our supply strategy for the European and American

industries.

Scott North America – Steady demand across fork-trucks (AGV’s), BladeStop (meat) and service

Despite the pandemic rampaging across most states, our American team has continued to experience

positive inbound interest in its core AGV business. This demand from the industrial and automotive

sectors, together with a stable revenue performance of our refurbished robot business – Robotworx -

has seen a solid financial performance for the first half of 2021.

Our BladeStop safety saw product has seen strong growth in revenues for H1 over the prior year. We

maintain a high conviction in our belief that there is still significant unmet demand for BladeStop in

the North American market as the protein industry looks for safer alternatives to the traditional high-

risk band-saw. Work will continue at Scott to focus resources to deliver on this market potential.

The important poultry trussing automation project with Pilgrims is progressing positively towards its

planned NZ ex-factory date. Our US customer Pilgrims, one of America’s largest bird processors, is

heavily engaged with this project including initial plans around the roll-out of this new technology

throughout its operations.

Scott 2025 Strategy Update

Good progress has been made on the Scott 2025 strategy that was introduced along with the 2020

Half Year Results last May.

• Authentic Customer Partnerships: Secured significant repeat business across all sectors e.g. Rio

Tinto, Alliance, Little Swan, Bosch, Candy Haier, McCain.

• Leading Edge Technology: Positive growth across our Rocklabs sample preparation and BladeStop

product businesses.

• One Global Team: Significant decrease in lost time injuries, and continued focus on employee

retention, development and wellness.

• Operational Excellence: Delivered sustainable margin improvement across all regions.


5


• Robust Global Platforms: Positive pipeline of forward work operating off a reduced and more

streamlined cost structure.


Sector updates

Mining: The continuation of strong global precious metal prices is underpinning ongoing investment

in mining capacity globally (West Australia, Russia, North America and West Africa). We expect this

activity will continue to support ongoing demand for our mining parts business, exporting to the global

mining sector from our factory in Auckland, New Zealand.

Our mining laboratory design and build business will advance our reputation and strengths around the

‘semi-automated’ end of the standalone-product-to-fully-automated continuum.

Meat: As mentioned previously, we are seeing strong ongoing demand signals for our BladeStop

safety-saw product and automation and robotic systems. In the system space, our primary focus will

continue to be on selling more lamb primal systems into the ANZ meat sector and rolling out the new

poultry trussing systems across Pilgrims in the US and across other relevant markets (UK and Australia

most notably).

Appliances: While this sector is seeing positive investment in capacity from the world’s largest

whitegoods manufacturers, we are experiencing increasing competition from the automation solution

providers from the likes of Italy. Our focus will remain on providing quality design options towards

the premium-end of the market, while driving for competitive pricing without exposing Scott to

unacceptable risk.

Our China business will continue to drive local growth from our competitive design and build platform

in Qingdao, China.

Material handling and logistics: Positive opportunities continue to emerge for this important part of

our European business, which remains the centre of excellence for our materials handling business.

At the same time we are making positive, but still early, inroads into our Scott 2025 strategy of taking

this technology out of Europe and into North America and Australasia. The Alliance NZ contract is the

first example of this, while focus is growing on identifying and securing a large installation on this

technology in the US together with our joint venture partner Savoye.

H1 F21 RESULTS SUMMARY
•Revenue has increased by 5% compared to the

prior comparative period (pcp).The increase is

driven by the ANZ and China regions, with

revenues from the USA and Europe regions

down on pcp, due to the impacts of COVID-19

in both regions and also Brexit in Europe.

•EBITDA at $11.2m recovered to exceed the

pre COVID-19 performance of $10.4m from

H1 F19.

•Margins increased from the previous high of

20% in H1 F19 to 23%.

7

•The right sizing program also meant Overhead cost

reductions of $4.1m contributed to the growth in

EBITDA and represents a tightening of 25% versus

H1 F20.

•Operating Cash Flow of

$5.3m is $4.4m ahead of

H1 F20. The Group had cash in the bank of $6.2m

as at 28 February 2021.

•At $2.9m our Net Debt remained stable relative to

our FY20 year-end position. As the business grows

our working capital requirements will increase.

To further support our growth we have recently

concluded an upgraded Bank Facility with our

existing provider.

OF CASH FLOWS

For the Six Months Ended 28 February 2021

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
All accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent

with those used in the audited financial statements of Scott

Technology Limited for the year ended 31 August 2020. These

Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with

the policies disclosed in the annual financial statements.

There are no new or amended standards that are issued but

not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on

the Group.

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD: INTANGIBLE

ASSETS

For the year ended 31 August 2020, the Group restated

the intangible assets balances to recognise the foreign

exchange impact on intangible assets associated with entities

denominated in foreign currencies. The Group has restated

the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and

Consolidated Statement of Changes as at 29 February 2020 to

reflect the impact of this restatement.

RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD

COMPARATIVES

Development Assets

An adjustment was made in the 2020 financial year to reclassify

two assets included in the 2019 financial statements from

Contract assets to Development assets in the Consolidated

Balance Sheet. This reclassification reduced contract assets as

at 31 August 2019 by $6.8 million and increased Development

assets by $6.8 million. There was no change in the overall

reported Current Assets. Those Development assets were fully

impaired as at 29 February 2020. As a result of the recognition

of Development assets of $6.8 million at 31 August 2019, the

impairment expense as at 29 February 2020 of $10.4 million

was restated in line with expense amount of $7.6 million

reported as at 31 August 2020. The balance of $2.8 million is

adjusted to revenue.

Onerous Contract Provision

For the year ended 31 August 2020, the Group reclassified loss

making contracts from Contract assets/liabilities to an Onerous

contracts provision. As at 29 February 2020, a reclassification

has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet to reflect

this reclassification. This reclassification has increased Contract

assets by $3.0 million, decreased Contract liabilities by

Scott LED was a company that sold LED lightbulbs. As a part of a review of the operations of the Group, this

business activity was identified as being non-core to the Scott strategy. As a result, the assets related to Scott

LED Limited were impaired and the business ceased trading. The total cost of closing Scott LED in 2020 was

$168,000.

In the previous period, Scott held an investment in Veritide Limited, (Veritide), a research collaboration that

provides mobile handheld scanners to identify visible and non-visible faecal contamination on meat carcasses.

As at 29 February 2020, Veritide had not secured any further funding to keep operating and Scott’s investment of

$420,000 had been impaired as a result.

Scott Dairy is automated milking technology for the dairy industry that has been developed over several years.

During the first half of the 2020 financial year, discussions with potential commercialisation partners ceased with

no further plans to commercialise this product at this stage. As a result, the total amount of the asset was written

down at 29 February 2020. The full cost of impairing this asset was $3,370,000

Impairment of other development assets related to two non-performing projects based in Australia and New

Zealand that were included in the 2020 half year financial statements. Both projects contained high levels of

risk and when combined with execution issues, led to unexpected additional costs to complete the project. In

the previous period, discussions with the commercial partners ceased with no further plans to commercialise

these products at this stage. The majority of revenue associated with these projects was recognised in the

2017 and 2018 financial years. All additional costs relating to these projects were included in the 2020 half year

financial statements. As at 31 August 2020, one of these projects was reclassified to Development assets. This

Development asset was impaired as at 31 August 2020. Refer to note B9 of the audited financial statements of

Scott Technology Limited for the year ended 31 August 2020 for further discussion on the treatment of this asset.

5. RESTRUCTURING PROVISION

On 29 November 2019, the proposal to close the operations of DC Ross in Dunedin was announced. The

operations officially closed in April 2020. A provision of $1,429,000 to close the facility has been included in the

2020 half year financial statements, primarily related to the write off of fixed assets where the book value of

these assets is unlikely to be recovered. All of the costs associated with the restructure of these operations were

included in the financial statements as at 31 August 2020.

Payment guarantees are provided to customers in respect of advance payments received by the Group

for contract work in progress, while performance bonds are provided to some customers for a period of

up to one year from final acceptance of the equipment.

Scott Technology Limited has a payment bond to the value of $75,000 in place with ANZ Bank New

Zealand Limited in favour of the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The Group has exposure to penalty clauses on its projects. These clauses relate to delivery criteria and

are common in international contractual agreements. There is a clearly defined sequence of events that

needs to occur before penalty clauses are imposed.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

7.1 PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM WHICH REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

DERIVE THEIR REVENUES

The Group’s reportable segments under NZ IFRS8 are:

• Australasia Manufacturing

• Americas Manufacturing

• Europe Manufacturing

• China Manufacturing

Australasia is reported as a single segment due to the integrated nature of customers, manufacturing,

sales and financing activities across New Zealand and Australia.

Information regarding the Group’s reporting segments is presented below.


7.2 SEGMENT REVENUES AND RESULTS

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment. For the purposes

of NZ IFRS8 allocations are based on the operating results by segment. The Group does not allocate

certain resources (such as senior executive management time) and central administration costs by

segment for internal reporting purposes and therefore these allocations may not result in a meaningful

and comparable measure of profitability by segment.

The Group enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge trading transactions, including

anticipated transactions, denominated in foreign currencies.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently

re-measured to their fair value. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the

derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit

or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. The Group designates certain derivatives as cashflow

hedges of highly probable forecast transactions.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group has categorised these derivatives, both financial assets and financial liabilities, as Level 2 under the fair

value hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS13.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

For the Six Months Ended 28 February 2021

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a discounted cashflow valua-

tion. Key inputs include observable forward exchange rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting value

discounted back to present values.

10. COVID-19 AND GOING CONCERN

COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the global economy. As a global organisation with operations in

multiple jurisdictions, the Group has been impacted in numerous ways and continues to assess the impact on the

Group on a regular basis.

The Group took fast and decisive action to protect the health and safety of the employees and the financial integrity of

the Group. The actions taken included:

• Putting the health and wellbeing of all employees and their families first,

• Following all Government regulations, including limiting access to sites,

• Enabling employees to work from home where required, possible and viable,

• Deferred all non-essential capital expenditure and limited all discretionary expenditure,

• Accessing available Government support for employees globally,

• Suspended dividend payments in 2020,

• Secured an additional funding line from our majority shareholder, JBS Australia Pty Ltd, and

• Released a revised strategy and restructured the Group’s global operations to right-size the business and reduce the

overall cost base.

The Group has sufficient headroom in its current banking facilities and has also finalised negotiations with Scott’s major

banking partner, ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, to ensure the Group continues to have access to sufficient debt

facilities for future investment needs.

While COVID-19 continues to provide uncertainties within the day to day operations of the Group, the measures taken,

together with the renewed strategy for future years, have resulted in improved underlying performance in the period

ended 28 February 2021, increased balance sheet resilience, and a stronger cash position.

The Board believes that the actions taken by the Group, along with the continued support of ANZ Bank New Zealand

Limited and JBS Australia Pty Ltd, will ensure Scott continues to be in a good position to manage the on-going impacts

from COVID-19.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

DIVIDEND

The Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend for the year ending 31st August 2021 of 2 cents per share

(2020: no interim dividend paid).

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTINUED

9. NON CURRENT ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Included within property, plant and equipment balance are assets available for sale amounting to $768,000.

These assets represent property, plant and equipment from niche high temperature super conducting business in

Wellington, HTS-110, which is considered non-core.

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for foreign currency forward exchange contracts during

the current reporting period.

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during either the current or prior periods.

The fair value of financial instruments not already measured at fair value approximates their carrying value.
