Effect of Adoption of IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’

EFFECT OF ADOPTION OF IFRS 11 ‘JOINT ARRANGEMENTS’

29 May 2014

ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT VENTURES

With effect from 1 April 2014, Tate & Lyle adopted IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ which will change significantly the basis of accounting for its interests in joint ventures.

Previously, the Group’s interests in joint ventures were accounted for by proportionate consolidation, whereby the Group’s share of the income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows of joint ventures was combined on a line-by-line basis with those of Tate & Lyle PLC and its subsidiaries. IFRS 11 prohibits the use of proportionate consolidation and requires that joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the after tax profits and losses of the joint ventures are shown on one line of the consolidated income statement, its share of their net assets are shown on one line of the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated statement of cash flows reflects cash flows between the Group and the joint ventures (investments in and dividends received from joint ventures) within cash flows from investing activities.

The Group’s results announcements in respect of the year ending 31 March 2015 will include comparative amounts for the year ended 31 March 2014 restated in accordance with IFRS 11. In order to assist users in understanding the effect of this change, we publish today reconciliations showing the effect of IFRS 11 on the Group’s statutory results, financial position and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2014 (‘FY14’) and for the six months ended 30 September 2013 (‘HY14’).

SUMMARY OF EFFECT

Whilst these changes do not affect the Group’s earnings or its net assets, they affect many of the individual line items presented in the Group’s financial statements. Going forward, however, the Group will present segment and adjusted financial information on a proportionate consolidation basis since this reflects the management of our joint ventures on an integrated basis with the Group’s subsidiaries. Accordingly, performance measures such as adjusted operating profit, adjusted profit before tax and adjusted diluted earnings per share will be unaffected by these changes. We summarise below the effect of the changes using the usual format for our presentation of the Group’s headline results.

1     Adjusted results include the Group’s share of the results of joint ventures on a proportionate consolidation basis.
2 Adjusted operating profit for FY14 is before the amortisation of acquired intangible assets of £10 million (HY14 – £5 million) and a net exceptional charge of £14 million (HY14 – £6 million).
3 Adjusted profit before tax for FY14 is further adjusted for the Group’s share of the income tax expense of joint ventures of £13 million (HY14 – £8 million) and the net retirement benefit interest expense of £8 million (HY14 – £4 million).
4 Adjusted earnings per share for FY14 is based on earnings after the adjustments made in arriving at adjusted profit before tax and is further adjusted to deduct the tax credit on those adjustments of £15 million (HY14 – £4 million).
5 Free cash flow represents cash generated from operating activities, less net interest paid, less tax paid, less capital expenditure.

ELIMINATION OF PROPORTIONATE CONSOLIDATION

In the attached reconciliations, the amounts described as the elimination of proportionate consolidation comprise the elimination of the Group’s share of the income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of joint ventures and the reversal of the elimination of the Group’s share of transactions, balances and cash flows with joint ventures recognised by the Group’s subsidiaries.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

For the purposes of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group’s businesses the Board will continue to receive financial information that reflects the Group’s interests in joint ventures accounted for by proportionate consolidation. Accordingly, the measures of segment revenue (sales) and segment profit or loss (adjusted operating profit) that are presented in the consolidated financial statements will continue to be prepared on the proportionate consolidation basis. Similarly, segment net working capital information will continue to be presented to the Board on a proportionate consolidation basis. Segment information is presented on pages 14 and 15.

FREE CASH FLOW AND NET DEBT

We will present adjusted free cash flow and adjusted net debt on a proportionate consolidation basis. On pages 16 and 17, we present the Group's free cash flow, net debt and the reconciliation of reported cash flow to the movement in net debt for the above periods.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We focus on a number of key financial performance indicators to measure the value generated by the Group's operations and to assess its financial strength. Our measures of financial strength, net debt to EBITDA and interest cover, are defined under the Group's banking covenants and are unchanged as a result of the adoption of IFRS 11. We also continue to calculate the other key performance indicators on a proportionate consolidation basis. On page 18, we present each of the Group's key financial performance measures for the above periods.

Each of the ratios shown above is calculated based on the proportionate consolidation of the results, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the Group’s interests in joint ventures.

Notes:

(a)     All ratios are calculated based on unrounded figures.
(b) Net debt to EBITDA and interest cover are defined under the Group’s banking covenants. For the purpose of these ratios, the effect of new or revised accounting standards adopted by the Group subsequent to 1 April 2012 are ignored and net debt is calculated using average currency exchange rates.
(c) Free cash flow represents cash generated from continuing operations, less net interest paid, less income tax paid, less capital expenditure. Cash dividends represent dividends on ordinary shares paid or proposed in respect of the reporting period, excluding dividends reinvested in shares through the DRIP scheme.
(d) Average invested operating capital represents the average at the beginning and end of the period of shareholders’ equity excluding net debt, net tax assets/liabilities and net retirement benefit obligations.
(e) Average quarterly cash conversion represents controllable net working capital at the end of the quarter divided by sales in the quarter, multiplied by the number of days in the quarter and is calculated on a four-quarter rolling basis (a reduction in the number of days represents an improvement).
