culminating in excellent margin

  • improvement. Noonan Ireland delivered

a good result despite the loss of a sizeable

related products and services, shifting the business mix somewhat. Increased credit notes were issued for closed businesses. The catering offering was elevated with the acquisition of Mastrantonio catering

  • perations

Services

Outlook for FY21

  • Synergies identified during the PHS due diligence

are being pursued

  • Heightened awareness of out-of-home-hygiene

will be capitalised on

  • Monitor the work-from-home developments

and adapt service offering accordingly

  • The financial performance of the travel and tourism

related activities depend on when international borders are opened

  • Bolt-on acquisitions to augment footprint

and offering will be pursued

result, primarily due to Protea Coin and UDS

  • BidAir’s cargo activities responded

quickly to cargo flow changes. The lounges performed well up to March but then shut-down completely since. The ground handling services are being divested

  • Travel Services incurred a trading loss.

Trading was already under pressure before the lockdown as corporate travel

  • changes. Cost structures are being

reduced and operations streamlined. Niche inbound activities are a focus area

  • Allied Services held its own despite no

  • Adcock consolidated from 1 August 2020. Pandemic

influenced demand in various units differently although demand in the pharmaceutical market was generally slow from March 2020. Margin under some pressure due to FX and COVID-19 related costs

  • Lower rebates as a result of much lower volumes

during lockdown negatively impacted gross profit. Operating expenses were very well controlled

  • Restructuring and rightsizing were based on expected

revenue reduction and to improve efficiencies

  • Print demand lower from fewer staff in offices but

labels sold to essential service providers was good. Packaging activities delivered a solid result as the contraction in fast food volumes were compensated for by e-commerce demand. Data saw an accelerated trend of communications moving to electronic

  • platforms. Mobility delivered strong growth

Branded Products

Outlook for FY21

  • Demand patterns are likely to remain unpredictable

in the short term

  • Business efficiencies will continue to be sought
  • On-line and product innovation will continue
  • Tough trading conditions are expected

to persist

  • All Office Products businesses

maintained GP margin. Konica Minolta bedded down the Treasury contract well. Kolok’s experienced a decline in cartridge volumes but returns were well managed. Waltons implemented a new warehouse management system and improved their on-line

  • fferings. CN developed new

WFH and safety product ranges

  • Demand for Consumer

Products was impacted by the

  • lockdown. Making products

available on various on-line platforms gained more traction. The Croxley brand continues to go from strength to strength

  • BTT delivered a reasonable
  • performance. Customer volumes

were lower, particularly chemicals, but excess throughput charges and recoveries assisted. Capacity is being actively managed

  • SABT handled similar volumes as

maize exports only started in June but record wheat volumes were imported

  • Chrome and manganese volumes

increased 1% in BC. Engagements are

  • ngoing with Transnet Freight Rail to

increase rail capacity and consistency

Freight

Outlook for FY21

  • Maize exports are expected until September

and another good local crop could result in 2H volume as well. Wheat imports will likely be lower due to indication of a good 2020 SA wheat crop

  • Chrome and manganese volumes expected to

remain good. The handling of higher-value product is being pursued

  • With the easing of lockdown restrictions, local

logistics and international cargo movement activities are showing a positive trend, albeit slow

  • Focus on securing new business on the EMO Trans

platform and rightsize operations accordingly

  • Complete LPG project
  • BIL delivered a depressed result due to

a general decline in volumes and the change in international partner. The impact of the extended lockdown affected local logistics activities and movement of international cargo. The Sebenza integration has progressed well

  • BSACD handled less import volumes and

customers redirected exports to alternative corridors

  • BPO’s bulk and break-bulk volumes declined

materially

  • 3% less volumes were handled by Naval

while OnTime, and the broader automotive industry, was impacted by Brexit uncertainty and the pandemic

APPENDICES

  • Difficult trading environment and little

business confidence, exacerbated by trade restrictions

  • Voltex Namibia was closed and

the Plumblink branch completely restructured after further losses were incurred

  • G Fox ended the year as the largest

profit contributor in the division. Product innovation and contract wins resulted in an excellent result

  • Plumblink’s revenue mix continued

to shift away from contract sales to the insurance sector and trade sales. Rebates declined. Its footprint and product range continue to stand it in good stead

Commercial Products

Outlook for FY21

  • Market share opportunities to flow from stock

availability and competitors floundering

  • Product focus and margin management remain key

focus areas, particularly given currency volatility

  • Tough trading conditions are expected to continue
  • A new management structure and various
  • perational changes were implemented

at Electrical. The traditional wholesale activities and Versalec experienced tough trading conditions. The specialist businesses fared better, particularly Cabstrut, Electech and MVLV

  • Afcom delivered an exceptional result as GP

margin improved and operating costs declined

  • Bidvest Materials Handling performed well

despite a challenging capital equipment market on the back of good margin management and a larger rental fleet

  • The balance of the businesses were plagued

by lower demand, poor factory recoveries and lower margins
