Operational highlights

• Launch of Anpario Direct online channel to smaller farm customers

Peter Lawrence, Chairman, commented:

“The board is encouraged by the continued recovery in a number of our markets which struggled during 2018. Latin America and the Middle East delivered strong performances and the United States continued its double-digit sales growth. As expected, China and certain territories in South East Asia experienced weak trading, where the impact of African Swine Fever put farmers under significant strain. As our improved profitability demonstrates, the geographic and species diversity of the Group is a major strength when facing such external challenges and we have been able to mitigate some of the impact by focusing on higher value-added products and developing more direct routes to market, which have helped to improve gross margins.

Expanding profitable sales and distribution channels around the world remains our priority. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation capability provide Anpario with a firm platform from which to invest in new products and to develop the exciting Anpario Direct opportunity. Our business development initiatives, backed by the quality and ability of our employees worldwide, give me confidence that we are in line for our full year management expectations.”

Chairman’s statement

Group sales in the six months to 30 June 2019 were broadly the same as in the equivalent period last year, after allowing for the termination of our non-core business in the Philippines in early 2018. The impact of African Swine Fever in China and the surrounding region and the US – China trade dispute created tougher trading conditions than experienced during this period last year and which affected our business in Asia. However, this was significantly offset by the very strong recovery in our Latin American and Middle East markets and continued progress in the US. These positive trends highlight the benefit of our geographic diversity and the underlying strength of the business.

Profit before tax rose 1% to £2.3m (2018: £2.2m). Basic earnings were unchanged at 9.16 pence per share while diluted earnings increased 3% to 8.88 pence per share (2018: 8.66 pence). The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share (2018: 2.2 pence) an increase of 14%. This dividend, payable on 29 November to shareholders on the register at close of business on 15 November, continues to reflect the Board’s confidence in the future of Anpario and its ability to generate cash.

Operations

Latin America has delivered a very strong performance with sales growth of 29% compared with the same period last year. The upturn has been driven by a number of business development initiatives, particularly in Brazil, which are now beginning to produce results. Our Brazilian egg laying customers, using Orego-Stim®, have experienced improved production with additional eggs per laying hen and better egg size distribution. These benefits contribute to a significant return on investment for our customers and we expect further progress in the coming months. Mexico and Argentina also recovered well after a poor 2018, with sales growth in the period of 41% and 91% respectively. There has been renewed focus on our aquaculture efforts in the region, where we recently registered a number of products.

The USA achieved 14% sales growth compared with the same period last year with Orego-Stim® contributing significantly to the performance. Our mycotoxin binder growth was somewhat subdued due to a weaker dairy sector but the recruitment of sales personnel in California earlier this year is starting to deliver new business and we are in discussions with a number of customers about our Optomega dairy fertility product. Building on our success in Brazil with Orego-Stim®, we have recently added to our US sales team by expanding our poultry expertise, which is targeting the layer industry. Results have also been replicated in a significant trial programme commenced earlier in the year with North Carolina State University, which is one of the world’s leading institutions in rearing and egg laying research. We continue to develop the poultry broiler sector by supporting integrators with their antibiotic free programmes.

In the UK and Europe sales declined 8%. This was largely due to the closure of a customer, who we supplied with lower margin vitamin and mineral premix formulations. Excluding this customer, sales were flat with a small increase in gross profit compared to the previous year. In general, the UK market was stable following a stronger previous year where higher feed volumes and rising milk prices benefited our toxin binder range. The UK sales team is focused on driving smaller farm customers to use the Anpario Direct online platform where they can experience transparent pricing, ease of ordering and next day delivery for order requirements of less than one tonne. A German subsidiary has been incorporated, as part of our preparations for the potential impact of Brexit, and also to enable Anpario to employ a sales team in the region as part of our strategy to develop more direct routes to market.

The Middle East and Africa had its best six months on record with sales growth of 23% compared with the previous year. The region experienced strong performances in Iraq, Israel and the United Arab Emirates driven by sales of Orego-Stim® and Mastercube, our pellet binder. Turkey continued to disappoint as a result of the economic situation there, but this is offset by strong sales to Iraq; a region whose animal nutrition capability is now recovering having been formerly dependent on supply from Turkey.

In China sales declined by 16% compared with the previous year mainly as the result of African Swine Fever. In addition, a large swine producer experienced financial difficulties and stopped using our products. However, our China team has worked hard to refocus the business by targeting the poultry industry, both broiler and layers, where they have been successful in selling our acid based eubiotic products.

In Asia African Swine Fever has spread to a number of countries, particularly Vietnam, which has a land border with China. Anpario’s Asia region sales, excluding China, declined by 30% with a third of this fall due to our decision to terminate non-core and low margin product sales in the Philippines. In addition, a number of larger customers either stopped or reduced their purchase volumes in South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. Some of these decisions are due to the cost pressures faced by integrators as a consequence of cheap US meat exports, which have been diverted from the China market because US production is currently uncompetitive, given the tariff situation and the ongoing trade dispute. Territories that delivered strong sales performances include Bangladesh, Taiwan and Thailand. While Asia is expected to experience these headwinds for the remainder of the year, we remain optimistic that we can build on some of the work already underway when the region recovers.

Brexit

As highlighted in our full year results, released on 6 March 2019, Anpario’s products and processes comply with European Union regulations. However, it is difficult to anticipate exactly what the regulatory environment will look like for our products in the event of a no-deal Brexit. In preparation for this possibility, we have incorporated a company in Germany. This business will be able to invoice customers in the EU and we have plans in place with our EU suppliers to try to minimise any Brexit related disruption. These arrangements also include increasing certain raw material stock levels in the UK.

Production

The £1 million investment in the automated bottling plant at Manton Wood is now complete. The plant has been commissioned and all previously toll-manufactured production brought in-house. This investment will speed up the turnaround time for our customers and enable us to support the Anpario Direct channel and some of their target customer segments for whom liquid versions of our products are more popular.

Our Anpario Direct channel was recently launched to the UK market with both sales and user visits to the website increasing week on week. The priority is to drive direct marketing activity which will include online offers and promotional campaigns coinciding with various agricultural shows throughout the UK. The Anpario Direct proposition was designed to also complement our field sales team channel and the UK sales team is actively introducing the online platform to those farmers who typically order smaller product quantities. The channel also targets other species such as equine, pigeon and game birds.

Innovation and development

Following an extensive programme of both in-vitro and in-vivo trials on our Anpro® mycotoxin binder product, the dossier for making mycotoxin deactivation claims was submitted during the period to the EU for their approval. We anticipate receiving a response early in 2020.

Anpario has an extensive programme of both scientific and commercial trials covering various aspects of animal health and performance. There is increasing pressure on the pig industry to reduce antimicrobial usage whilst maximising animal health and performance and some recent trials performed concluded that adding Orego-Stim® to the feed on farm made significant improvements to health and profitability.

Outlook

Sales in the current year are at a similar level to the equivalent period last year, albeit with improved gross margins. We expect African Swine Fever to continue to impact the market although this should gradually ease albeit the timing remains uncertain. Expanding profitable sales and distribution channels around the world remains our priority. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation capability provide Anpario with a firm platform from which to invest in new products and to develop the exciting Anpario Direct opportunity.

Our business development initiatives, backed by the quality and ability of our employees worldwide, give me confidence that we are in line for our full year management expectations.

Revenues for the first half of the year declined 3% to £14.3m (2018: £14.8m). There was strong double digit sales growth across the Middle-East, Latin America and US markets. However, overall sales declined, largely due to the Asia region which was impacted by a number of factors including African Swine Fever and the previously announced planned withdrawal from non-core and low margin product sales (£0.4m) in the Philippines which stopped after H1 2018.

Gross profits were 2% higher than last year at £7.1m (2018: £7.0m). This is a result of both increased sales to direct end user segments in strategically important markets and the withdrawal from the aforementioned, non-core, low margin sales. Gross margins increased to 49.7% from 47.3%.

Administrative expenses, excluding foreign exchange, were virtually unchanged at £4.9m (2018: £4.8m). Included in administrative costs are immaterial net foreign exchange gains while the prior year included gains of £0.2m.

Profit before tax rose by 1% to £2.3m (2018: £2.2m). Adjusted EBITDA, also increased by 1% to £2.8m.

Basic and adjusted earnings per share were unchanged at 9.16 pence per share and diluted earnings per share increased by 3% to 8.88 pence per share (2018: 8.66 pence).

The balance sheet remains strong and debt free, with a period-end cash balance of £13.7m (Dec 2018: £12.9m).

These financial statements reflect the adoption of IFRS 16 by the Group, as outlined in the last annual report the impact of this on the Income Statement is immaterial. IFRS 16 requires operating leases to be capitalised on the statement of financial position, as well as the present value of future lease obligations being shows in liabilities. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect the adoption and more detail about the impact can be found in the notes to the financial statements.

8. Effect of the adoption of IFRS 16

IFRS 16 Leases has been adopted by the Group. The standard has been applied from 1 January 2019, the comparatives for prior periods have been restated accordingly. IFRS16 requires operating leases to be capitalised on the statement of financial position. Anpario has applied the full retrospective approach and as such at the end of 2018 fixed assets increased by £0.2m being the present value of future lease obligations with a corresponding increase in liabilities of £0.2m. The impact on the profit before tax in the Consolidated Income Statement is not material and the cash flow impact is nil. The tables below detail the full impact of the restatement.
