PHOTO-ME INTERNATIONAL PLC - PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
A record PBT by a wide margin
PMI, the FTSE 250 digital imaging company, announces, for the year to 30 April
2005, a record year in terms of turnover, pre-tax profit and earnings per share.
The adjusted pre-tax profit(1), which totals £34.5m, has again exceeded
expectations. Prospects for further progress remain good.
Financial Highlights
•Turnover up 7.3% to £236.0m.
•EBITDA, before exceptional items, up 12.9% to £58.9m.
•Adjusted pre-tax profit(1) up 62.0% to £34.5m and pre-tax profit up 56.4%
to £33.0m.
•EPS increased by 54.7% to 6.28p (adjusted (1)) and 48.6% to 5.96p
(reported).
•Dividends per share doubled to 2.0p (2004: 1.0p), of which the final
dividend is 1.2p (2004 first and final: 1.0p).
•Net cash balances increased to £4.1m (2004: £2.9m), after capex and
financial investment of £34.5m (2004: £21.0m).
(1) 'Adjusted' excludes an exceptional charge of £0.8m (2004: exceptional credit
of £0.4m) and a goodwill amortisation charge of £0.7m (2004: £0.5m). In the case
of adjusted EPS, a tax credit on the exceptional charge of £0.3m is also
reflected in respect of 2005.
Commercial Highlights
•In the Vending Division (which has an unrivalled network of 28,000 sites
worldwide), operating profit improved although turnover decreased by 2.4%.
Cash generation by the portfolio of 20,000 photobooths remained strong.
• Results for digital media kiosks, which are capable of printing from
both digital cameras and digital camera phones, to date have been
encouraging. At the year end, 3,000 had been manufactured: 1,600 had been
sold and 1,400 were operated by PMI, of which 1,000 in France. It is planned
that a further 5,000, manufactured by a sub-contractor in Shanghai at a
significantly lower cost, should be operated or sold by 31 December 2005.
•Manufacturing turnover increased by 24.8% to £98.0m, representing 42%
(2004: 36%) of total turnover. Manufacturing contributed the bulk of the
Group profit and its increase, benefiting from the increased volumes and
higher margins following the transfer of minilab manufacture to a
sub-contractor in Poland in January 2004.
•Imaging Solutions, the Swiss-based wholesale lab manufacturing business,
increased its turnover by 16.9% to £15.9m and made another useful profit.
Serge Crasnianski, CEO, stated 'In the current year, in Vending, both
photobooths and digital media kiosks should continue to make a positive
contribution. In Manufacturing, another good performance is expected. Overall,
the Directors are confident of further progress in the current year.
Further out, in Vending, photobooths will benefit from changes in ID regulations
in France and Japan, two of PMI's leading markets. Additionally, the roll-out of
digital media kiosks is expected to contribute significantly to Group
performance. In Manufacturing, the DKS 3 minilab (which is the first digital
minilab of the third generation) enhances the product range, whilst the North
American market represents a significant opportunity. Overall, prospects for
sustained profitable growth remain good.'

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
I am delighted to announce a record year in terms of turnover, pre-tax profit
and earnings per share. The adjusted pre-tax profit(1), which totals £34.5m, has
again exceeded market expectations. Prospects for further progress remain good.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Group turnover for the year to 30 April 2005 increased by 7.3% to £236.0m (2004:
£219.9m).
Adjusted operating profit(1) increased by 57.2% to £35.8m (2004: £22.8m), which
represents an operating margin of 15.2% (2004: 10.4%). With net interest payable
decreasing to £1.3m from £1.5m, adjusted pre-tax profit(1) advanced by 62.0% to
£34.5m (2004: £21.3m). Adjusted EPS(1) were 54.7% higher at 6.28p (2004: 4.06p),
reflecting an increased effective tax rate of 32.6% (2004: 28.5%).
The reported figures are an operating profit of £34.3m (2004: £22.3m), up 53.9%,
a pre-tax profit of £33.0m (2004: £21.1m), up 56.4%, and EPS of 5.96p (2004:
4.01p), up 48.6%.
EBITDA, before exceptional items, increased by 12.9% to £58.9m (2004: £52.1m).
The balance sheet further strengthened. Shareholders' funds increased by 20.7%
to £83.5m (2004: £69.1m). The net cash balance rose to £4.1m (2004: £2.9m),
after capital expenditure and financial investment of £34.5m (2004: £21.0m).
This was principally in the following areas: digital media kiosks (£12.1m),
photobooths (£10.9m), the purchase of kiddie ride activities which leverage off
PMI's UK infrastructure (£2.2m), and the acquisition of the 30.3% minority
interest in PMI's German subsidiary, FOTOFIX - Schnellphotoautomaten GmbH
(£2.5m).
The transformation from net debt of £51.4m at 30 April 2002 and £33.4m at 30
April 2003 reflects the cash-generative nature of the Vending business and the
improved Manufacturing results in the last two years.
(1) 'Adjusted' excludes an exceptional charge (in connection with restructuring
in Japan) of £0.8m (2004: exceptional credit of £0.4m) and a goodwill
amortisation charge of £0.7m (2004: £0.5m).
DIVIDENDS
A final dividend per share of 1.2p (2004: 1.0p) is proposed. Together with the
interim dividend of 0.8p (2004: nil), dividends per share are doubled at 2.0p
(2004: 1.0p) and are three times (2004: four times) covered.
If approved at the AGM on 28 September 2005, the final dividend will be paid on
2 November 2005 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 7
October 2005. The ex-dividend date is 5 October 2005.
BOOKHAM FIRE
On 22 December 2004, the Group's 62,000 sq.ft. warehouse and workshop at
Bookham, Surrey were destroyed by fire, together with their contents. These
principally comprised minilabs for resale, operating equipment being
refurbished, spare parts and consumables. The adjacent Group Head Office
building was undamaged by the fire.
The Group successfully minimised the disruption caused to its business.
A substantial payment on account was received during the year from the Group's
insurers, and the Board is confident that the risk was fully covered.
Furthermore, since the insurance cover is based on replacement cost, a material
accounting surplus could arise. However, as parts of the claim will not be
finalised for some months, no gain has been recognised in these accounts.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Group will be required to prepare its accounts for the year to 30 April 2006
under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). The interim results
to 31 October 2005 will be the first reported in line with IFRS.
There are three principal changes which will be required to the Group's
accounting policies under IFRS. These are in relation to the accounting for
share options and goodwill amortisation and to the translation of results at
average exchange rates. The net impact on both profits and the balance sheet is
not expected to be significant.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Geographical Analysis of Turnover and Profit
Turnover Pre-tax Profit+
Year to 30 April 2005 2004 Variance 2005 2004
£m £m % £m £m
Continental Europe 141.5 130.8 +8.2 30.6 17.3
UK & Republic of Ireland 60.9 54.0 +12.6 0.3 2.7
Asia and Australia 30.8 31.2 -1.4 3.0 1.1
USA 2.8 3.9 -29.1 - (0.3)
236.0 219.9 +7.3 33.9 20.8
+ before exceptional items
Continental Europe, which includes the great majority of the Manufacturing
turnover, contributed 60% (2004: 59%) of Group turnover and, again,
substantially all of pre-tax profit.
In the UK and Ireland, the result has been depressed by a small reduction in
profits from operating divisions, by an increase in Head Office overheads, and
by a decrease in both profit on foreign exchange and other income.
The improved profitability in Asia - which is primarily Japan - mainly resulted
from a reduction in depreciation, old technology photobooths having been fully
depreciated since 30 April 2004.
Divisional Analysis of Turnover
Year to 30 April 2005 2004 Variance
£m £m %
Vending 138.0 141.4 -2.4
Manufacturing 98.0 78.5 +24.8
236.0 219.9 +7.3
As the table indicates, the 7.3% increase in Group turnover was the net of a
small decrease in Vending and a 24.8% increase in Manufacturing. Vending
accounted for 58% (2004: 64%) of Group turnover.
Although the Board believes that detailed disclosure of the results of the
individual activities could be prejudicial to the Group's commercial interests,
certain trends are commented on below.
Vending
The Vending business comprises the operation of photobooths and other vending
equipment. During the year, the total number of Vending sites worldwide
increased by approximately 2,000 to 28,000, including some 20,000 photobooths.
PMI is a global company, operating in 20 countries, with three major Vending
territories: France, the UK and Ireland, and Japan - in all of which it
continues to enjoy a leading market position.
Globally, the turnover of the Vending Division, whose photobooth operations are
mature, decreased by 2.4%. Its contribution to profits, however, improved and it
again generated substantial cashflow.
Geographical Analysis
Vending turnover in France (with 9,300 sites, including 5,900 photobooths, of
which 98% are digital) increased by 1%. The increase in the number of sites,
from 8,500 last year, reflects the siting of digital media kiosks. Demand for ID
photographs in France will be boosted by the planned introduction of
photo-identity on personal National Health cards, resulting in 48 million
replacement cards from calendar 2006.
Vending turnover in the UK and Ireland (with 9,300 sites, including 5,600
photobooths, of which 78% are digital) was flat. The increase of 1,000 sites
over the year mainly reflects expansion in the area of kiddie rides.
Vending turnover in Japan (with 4,700 sites, including 4,600 photobooths)
decreased by 5% despite a 12% increase in the number of machines and an increase
in the proportion of digital machines from 72% to 84%. Despite the reduction in
turnover, profits in Japan have increased. During the year, the maintenance
workforce was reduced by one-third, reducing annual costs by £1.5m. The Japanese
Government announced during the year that ID photographs will play an integral
part in the new generation of passports to be introduced in March 2006. These
two developments are expected to improve Japan's profitability.
Digital Media Kiosks
Following successful trials, mainly in Continental Europe, the roll-out of
digital media kiosks commenced in May 2004. Digital media kiosks are capable of
printing from both digital cameras and digital camera phones. By the year end,
3,000 had been manufactured; 1,600 had been sold and 1,400 were operated by PMI,
of which 1,000 in France. To date, results have been encouraging.
The manufacture in China of thermal (i.e dry process) digital media kiosks
commenced in May 2005 and by 31 December 2005 it is planned that 5,000 of these
will be in operation or sold. The move of production to China reduces the cost
of digital media kiosks significantly whilst improving a number of features.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing turnover primarily derives from the sale to third parties of
photo-processing equipment manufactured by PMI or, increasingly, by
sub-contractors located in low cost territories. PMI has a unique and
comprehensive range covering all market segments, from wholesale labs, via
professional and retail labs, to end-consumer vending kiosks. In output terms,
processing labs range from 250 to 20,000 prints per hour. This Division
increased its turnover by 24.8% in the full year; in the second half, the
increase was 40.5%. Manufacturing contributed the bulk of the Group profit and
its increase.
Wholesale Labs
Imaging Solutions' wholesale lab business was acquired in April 2003 and
comfortably repaid its purchase price in the first year of ownership. Based near
Zurich in Switzerland, Imaging Solutions is involved in the development,
manufacture, sale and technical support of equipment and systems for high volume
photo-finish laboratories (up to 20,000 prints per hour).
In the year, Imaging Solutions increased its turnover by 16.9% to £15.9m and
made another useful profit. An increased contribution is anticipated in the
current year.
Professional Labs
A substantial majority of Manufacturing turnover is represented by sales of the
DKS 15xx range of minilabs. Their success reflects their quality, as evidenced
by the award of the DIMA minilab prize at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA)
Convention and Trade Show in Orlando, Florida in February 2005, uniquely for a
third successive year. These minilabs have an output of 800 to 1,500 prints an
hour.
In the year, unit sales of minilabs increased by 40%. A significant proportion
of the growth was in relation to contracts signed in September 2004 and November
2004 with Tesco, the UK's largest retailer, and Klick, the UK's largest
independent photo-processing retailer, respectively. Margins benefited from the
effect of the move of production to PMI's sub-contractor in Poland, Flextronics,
in January 2004.
Trialling of PMI's minilabs in North America continues satisfactorily.
Retail Labs
PMI's retail lab is the DKS 900, the world's first thermal digital minilab,
capable of printing from 250 to 1,000 prints per hour. Its compactness,
reliability, ease of use and price make it particularly suited for offering a
digital printing capability in a small retail environment.
The first deliveries of the DKS 900 were made in August 2004. An increased rate
of sale is expected in the current year.
Consumer Labs
Digital media kiosks provide vending machine convenience for digital camera and
camera-phone customers.
Manufacture of digital media kiosks in Grenoble, France ceased in April 2005 and
commenced at a sub-contractor in Shanghai, China in May 2005.
BOARD
On 1 February 2005, Dan David retired as Chairman, having fulfilled that role
for the past 12 years. Mr David continues as a non-executive Director and has
been appointed Life President.
Dan David was succeeded as non-executive Chairman by Vernon Sankey, who has held
the position of non-executive Deputy Chairman since his appointment to the Board
in October 2000.
On 1 June 2005, David Scotland resigned as a non-executive Director. He is
succeeded by Hugo Swire who brings to the Board wide-ranging experience in
business development in Asian markets, with a specific focus on China.
The Board, accordingly, numbers nine, of whom four executive and five
non-executive Directors.
THE DIGITAL IMAGING MARKET
PMI believes that it enjoys a strong position in a substantial and fast growing
market which is developing to its advantage:
•the installed base of digital cameras is expected shortly to exceed that
of analogue equipment;
•the installed base of camera phones is rising fast, as is the average of
the megapixels offered, improving the quality of photographs taken;
•home printing is fast losing market share, for reasons mainly of cost,
quality and convenience; and
•digital photographers are printing an increasing proportion of the
photographs that they take.
PMI is positioned optimally to exploit these trends:
•PMI benefits from a unique vending infrastructure of 28,000 sited
machines worldwide, with related arrangements for maintenance and cash
collection. This network greatly facilitates the roll-out of digital media
kiosks;
•PMI is the only manufacturer globally to offer a comprehensive digital
range, covering the entire spectrum of client needs with an outstanding and
recognised quality at realistic pricing points, for both customers and the
Group;
•PMI has only two significant competitors to its minilab manufacturing
business and only one competitor, currently in receivership, for its
wholesale lab manufacturing business;
•PMI has two products of particular potential: the digital media kiosk,
whose volume roll-out of lower cost, Chinese-manufactured models has
recently commenced, and the next generation of DKS minilab, which is
expected to be available in the middle of calendar 2006; and
•PMI, with its long track record of technical innovation, has the
capability to develop further market-leading products.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
PMI has reached a stepping stone: financially, with its net cash balance and
strong cash generation, and commercially, with its extensive Vending network,
principally imaging-based, and proven and comprehensive digital imaging
Manufacturing range.
PMI intends to use its financial strength to grow organically and through
acquisitions.
In Vending, PMI intends to leverage its infrastructure and extend its product
range beyond photobooths, increasing its relevance to key site owners.
In Manufacturing, PMI intends to strengthen its footprint and commercial network
with a view to obtaining a substantial and rewarding share of the world market
for digital photo-processing equipment.
PROSPECTS
In the current year, in Vending, both photobooths and digital media kiosks
should continue to make a positive contribution. In Manufacturing, another good
performance is expected. Overall, the Directors are confident of further
progress.
Further out, in Vending, photobooths will benefit from changes in ID regulations
in France and Japan, two of PMI's principal markets. Additionally, the roll-out
of digital media kiosks is expected to contribute significantly to Group
performance. In Manufacturing, the DKS 3 minilab (which is the first digital
minilab of the third generation) enhances the product range, whilst the North
American market represents a significant opportunity. Overall, prospects for
sustained profitable growth remain good.
