Skellerup reports record 1H23 EBIT

Skellerup announced today record unaudited earnings before interest and tax of $33.5 million for

the six months ended 31 December 2022, an increase of 3% on the prior comparative period (pcp).

Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $23.0 million down 1% on pcp due to higher interest and tax costs.

Key points for the six months ending 31 December 2022

• Revenue of $165.5 million, up 10% on prior comparative period (pcp)

• Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $33.5 million, up 3% on pcp

o Industrial Division EBIT of $21.4 million, up 14% on pcp

o Agri Division EBIT of $14.6 million, down 12% on pcp

o Corporate costs of $2.5 million, down 15% on pcp

• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $23.0 million, down 1% on pcp

• Operating cash flow of $20.2 million, up 3% on pcp

• Net debt of $39.0 million, up $13.8 million on FY22 year-end

• Interim dividend of 8.0 cents per share (an increase of 0.5 cps), up 7% on pcp

• FY23 NPAT forecast unchanged in the range of $48 to $52 million.

CEO David Mair reflected. “Our team has again worked hard to deliver a good result in a tough

environment. The rapid increase of inflation and general slowdown in demand is a different

challenge to what we faced 12 months ago. Our strategy of staying close to our customers, listening

carefully to their needs, and developing products to meet them whilst continuing to standardise and

improve process has been and will continue to be key to our success. Some of our businesses have

capitalised on the investment they have made to increase sales and returns whilst others have had

to adjust to slower demand. All have had to deal with increased costs which we have largely

recovered via productivity gains or adjusting prices, reflecting the value of our products.”

Mair emphasised that markets were mixed, and seasonal demand impacted the result. “In Europe

our businesses have faced significant increases in energy costs and a slump in the purchasing power

of the Euro. However, the increase in energy costs has spurred demand for some of our products

used in solar applications. Globally the rising costs and lower level of construction activity has

impacted both directly and indirectly, but the diversity and quality of our businesses has seen

growth in demand in other sectors.”

Mair added, “For the first time in several years our people have been able to travel enabling

important customer and partner relationships to be strengthened instead of a singular reliance of

digital communications. This will enable further growth and improvement for our business across

the world."

Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a record EBIT of $21.4 million, up 14% on pcp. Revenue grew

by 13%. “Strong revenue and earnings growth from our foam and vacuum systems businesses were

the highlight in the first half of the year. These results are the outcome of a multi-year focus to

understand customer needs and consistently develop, improve, and deliver market leading products





and solutions.” Mair further noted that this result more than offset unsurprisingly lower demand

experienced in some of Skellerup’s markets. “The impact of lower global demand negatively

impacted on sales of our potable water and flow control products. Sales of discretionary items like

tapware and appliances are down, and with supply chain congestion easing customers are also

reducing the level of inventory they hold.”

Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $14.6 million, was down 12% on pcp. Mair noted, “Dairy sales were

as we expected softer and in line with our Budget following a very strong finish to the prior year.

This lower demand naturally impacted production and some erosion of gross profit in the first half of

the year. Footwear sales into the NZ and the US markets remained strong, exceeding both our target

and pcp.”

Operating cash flow in the first half was up 3% on pcp but below target as due to an increase in

inventory. Mair said “We have maintained a cautious approach to mitigate risks of raw material

shortages and elongated shipping timeframes. With lower global demand these risks are generally

abating, and we will gradually reduce inventory in the second half of the year whilst managing the

impact of abrupt changes on our manufacturing partners.”

Skellerup’s balance sheet remains strong. Mair noted, “Our strong cash flow generation and the very

low level of debt we carried before investing in higher working capital over the past 18 months

means net debt remains low at just 19% of our net assets.”

Skellerup reaffirmed expectations for another record year with FY23 NPAT forecast to be in the

range of $48 to $52 million. Mair said “Markets will remain challenging; however we expect earnings

to be stronger in the second half of the year due to seasonal impacts and contribution from new

products used in hygiene, potable water and flow control applications. These new products add to

our strong foundation to deliver growth in the years ahead.”

Chair John Strowger said the first half result, and expectations for the full year, allowed the Board to

declare a 7% increase in the interim dividend to 8.0 cents per share, imputed 50% (the same level as

in the pcp). The dividend will be paid on 16 March 2023 to shareholders of record at 5pm on 03

March 2023.

“During the first half, the strength and resilience of our business has again been demonstrated.

Despite the global slowdown in demand, the skill, drive and commitment of our team to continually

improve and develop critical products has enabled Skellerup to sustain a trend of operating earnings

growth. Our global team are focused on growing sustainable earnings and shareholder returns.”

Chair and CEO Review

Skellerup has sustained its

strong forward momentum for

the first half, generating record

unaudited earnings before

interest and tax (EBIT) of $33.5

million, up 3 percent on the

previous corresponding period

(pcp). For the six months ending

31 December 2022, Skellerup

recorded a net profit after tax

(NPAT) of $23 million, down 1

percent on pcp due to higher

interest and tax.

Skellerup continues to work closely

with customers (predominantly original

equipment manufacturers (OEMs))

to design and develop real solutions.

Skellerup’s essence is combining deep

material expertise, strong product and

tool capability, and proven manufacturing

process knowledge and experience. Being

able to deliver essential products that often

integrate multiple materials to demanding

and ever-changing regulatory standards is

Skellerup’s competitive advantage.

The team has worked hard to deliver a

strong result in tough conditions. The rapid

increase in global inflation and general

slowdown in demand is a new challenge.

Our strategy of working closely with

customers, listening carefully to understand

their needs, and developing products to

meet them, while continually striving to

standardise and improve our business

processes, remains key to our success.

With travel restrictions largely eased,

our people have been able to travel more

freely, strengthening their crucial customer

and partner relationships, enabling future

growth and improvements across our global

businesses.

Markets have been mixed, and seasonal

demand also impacted the result. In Europe,

Skellerup’s businesses there have faced

significantly increased energy costs and

a slump in the purchasing power of the

Euro. Yet increased energy costs have also

spurred demand for some of our products

used in solar applications.

Globally, rising costs and lower levels of

construction activity have impacted both

directly and indirectly, but the diversity and

quality of our businesses and our people has

seen growth in demand in other sectors.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT 2023

Industrial Division

Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a

record EBIT of $21.4 million, up 14 percent

on pcp. Revenue growth to $108.7 million,

up 13 percent on pcp, was underpinned by

high performance foam products and vacuum

systems, the outcome of a multi-year focus

to understand customer needs and develop,

improve and deliver market-leading products

and solutions.

The robust result more than offset anticipated

lower demand experienced in some Skellerup

markets, with the impact of lower global

demand negatively impacting sales of our

potable water and fl ow control products.

Sales of discretionary items like tapware

and appliances are down, and with supply

chain congestion easing customers are also

reducing their inventories.

Agri Division

Agri Division’s EBIT of $14.6 million was down

12 percent on pcp. Skellerup is the second

largest manufacturer of food-grade dairy

rubberware globally, and softer sales were in

line with budget expectations following our

very strong fi nish to the end of FY22.

Lower demand impacted production

resulting in some erosion of gross profi t in

the fi rst half of the year. Notwithstanding

this fl attening, footwear sales into the New

Zealand and United States markets remained

strong, exceeding both our target and pcp.

Dividend

Strong fi rst half earnings in diffi cult market

conditions allied to confi dent expectations

for our future have enabled the Board to

declare an interim dividend of 8.0 cents per

share, up 7 percent on pcp. The dividend

will be distributed on 16 March 2023 to

shareholders on the register at 5.00pm on 03

March 2023.

Outlook

Skellerup remains confi dent about its

position heading into the second half. Our

fundamentals for operating a sustainable

growth-oriented business – working closely

with customers and investing in our people –

provide a strong foundation for future growth.

Skellerup’s balance sheet remains strong,

with operating cash fl ow generation of $20.2

million, up 3 percent on pcp for the half

year, despite carrying more inventory to

mitigate longer lead times and supply chain

disruptions. The very low level of debt we

prudently carried – before investing in higher

working capital over the past 18 months –

means net debt remains low at just 19 percent

of our net assets.

We continue to expect FY23 NPAT to be in the

range of $48 to $52 million.

The Board is pleased with the contributions

of the Skellerup team. During the fi rst half,

the strength and resilience of Skellerup’s

Despite a global slowdown in demand, and

tough market conditions, the skill, drive

and commitment of our team to continually

improve and develop critical products with

our customers has enabled Skellerup to

sustain a trend of operating earnings growth.

We remain focused on supporting and

developing our people to grow sustainable

earnings and shareholder returns.
