FINAL RESULTS

  John Lewis of Hungerford plc ("John Lewis of Hungerford" or the "Company"), the specialist kitchen manufacturer and retailer, announces its final results for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Chief Executive's Business Review

We are pleased to provide a review of our FY21 financial year to 30 June 2021. As the prior year was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have also provided data from FY19 in order to provide our shareholders with a more meaningful comparative.

Overview

As reported within our trading update released on 12 August 2021, we are pleased to report that the second half trading recovered our first half losses in full, resulting in a full year profit before tax of £80k (2020: Loss £885k; 2019: Loss £220k). After an immensely disruptive year, with showroom closures for 18 weeks, we are particularly pleased with the efforts of the teams within the Company which resulted in us delivering a profitable year.

The year finished with a positive gross cash position of £1,302k.  The Company has total loans of £1,137k, of which £1,079k is secured on its freehold properties. Net cash, excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities, was therefore £165k (2020: net debt £708k; 2019: net debt £314k).  The Company was grateful for the UK Government support received during the year, including the deferral and re-phasing of payments for VAT and PAYE.  The re-phased payments were all met within the timescales agreed with HM Revenue and Customs, and by year end £78k remained outstanding, which is scheduled for full repayment by February 2022  The Company is pleased to have improved from a net debt of £708k to a positive net cash position after loans of £165k in the financial year, a positive improvement of £872k, with EBITDA (pre IFRS 16) of £424k (2020: -£388k). Customer deposits at the year-end were £363k higher than last year, reflecting the strength of the order book at the year-end.

In February 2021, all the Directors and a PDMR (Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) all wished to acquire shares in the Company, and this was effected by a subscription for new shares, which increased cash in the Company by £49k. 

The table below illustrates the performance against the Covid-19 impacted FY20 year and also the non-Covid-19 disrupted FY19 year. It is pleasing to note that with revenue 5% down on FY19, the gross margin is broadly in line, demonstrating the management's focus on cost control  to ensure resilience in our operating model, during a period of supplier price increases, throughout this challenging period.

Marketing

Core to the performance in the year under review has been our ability to adapt to changing consumer behaviours, instigated by the closure of our showrooms for 18 weeks of the year and by moving our business operations back online, as required. The excellent work to produce virtual showrooms very promptly after the initial lockdown in March 2020 and ensure consistency in our marketing throughout the pandemic, has ensured that the brand has remained strong and visible throughout. The Company has seen a discernible shift in its following across social media platforms, through the Company's digital development strategy. With a new SEO partner from the start of FY21, several high-profile collaborations and a data driven approach to our digital campaigns, we continue to generate record levels of interest, driven in part by gains in market share and also from the 'pent up' demand arising from the first, long lockdown, when focus on improving the home became a customer priority. Our online activity has demonstrated the strength in our marketing and allowed us to attract customers through our digital channels and drive footfall to our showrooms when they re-opened. This has ensured the showroom estate is consistently busy in all locations, with high levels of quoted design activity, which will continue to be recognised in FY22.

We have mentioned previously the increase in demand within the home improvements sector, with many home related companies experiencing an uplift in enquiries; the demand has been significantly higher than in recent years. Shortages of skilled labour within the industry and the trades people required to install new kitchen and bedroom units, together with the more general shortage of skilled labour within the construction sector, has impacted lead times for many companies. We have been fortunate to retain a highly skilled team in all areas of our business and our lead times remain competitive, and therefore attractive, for customers looking at luxury, painted kitchens and bedrooms. The ongoing recruitment of key personnel in all areas of the business remains a priority for the Company.

Kitchens sold in the year exceeded our recent performance, with a reduction in our bedrooms activity in the year, primarily due to a shift in consumer priorities for their living spaces. We have seen the bedrooms area of the business returning to levels achieved previously, in the current financial year.

Operations

The integrated retail model developed throughout FY20 has proven effective over FY21. Promoting an 'appointment only' approach to our design consultations has improved the effectiveness of our design team, together with enhancing the customer experience in-store. Virtual consultations are still offered to customers unable to visit a showroom and these continue to be popular, supported by our advances in the use of our virtual showrooms and screen sharing technology.

We took the decision to close our central Oxford Showroom during the year, on expiry of the lease. This has given us the opportunity to utilise the space within our head office showroom in South Oxfordshire, to showcase both our kitchens and our bedrooms offering. Customers will benefit from a visit to our production facility, once restrictions ease, which we anticipate being a popular and important element of our customer experience.

The use of our new finance offering for customers, provided by Hitachi Capital UK, has been very well received, with almost £900k of sales secured in FY21, using the facility. This exceeded our ambitions and has become a significant component in our customer journey. We look forward to a continued partnership with Hitachi Capital UK, who have been impressed with our exceptional customer satisfaction scores.

Our systems improvements continue to take priority to ensure we are able to support our teams to operate as efficiently as possible. The implementation of the CRM system was the first step in our programme of improvements and we look forward to building our IT framework to manage our growth over the coming years.

Our development team also worked effectively to ensure the timely launch of our new Beaded Shaker range of door style, which has been well received by customers.

There have been widely reported disruption to supply chains nationally over the last 18 months. The industry has experienced significant delays across all bought-in items, together with raw materials. Price increases have been seen in all areas, at an unprecedented level. The operational team have had a challenging year, requiring close management of the supply chain to ensure continuity of supply and the successful fulfilment of customer orders.

In view of these many challenges, we are pleased to report a gross margin broadly in line with the non-Covid-19 disrupted FY19 year, with a 5% reduction of revenue.

				12 months to June 2021	12 months to June 2020	12 months to June 2019
				£000	£000	£000
Total Sales				7,877	5,553	8,306
Cost of sales				4,165	3,004	4,373
Gross margin				3,712	2,549	3,933
Gross Margin %				47.1%	45.9%	47.4%

Investments in key supporting roles within the Company have been made as we progress throughout the current financial year, given the increased levels of consumer demand.

We continue to work closely with all of our partners to ensure the continued safety of our employees, our customers and our suppliers. We have ensured an ongoing focus on the health, safety and wellbeing of our people.

Trading Outlook

As stated in our trading update released on 12 August 2021, the Company entered the new financial year with an order book substantially larger than in recent years. The level of orders secured in the first 18 weeks of the year has remained high. Despatched sales, forward committed orders and future orders against which a first stage deposit has been taken, stood at £7.4m (2020: £4.9m; 2019: £4.4m), which is significantly ahead of the previous two year comparatives.

The unprecedented business climate throughout the reported period has been challenging and the response of all of our stakeholders has been instrumental in the results we report today. The efforts of all those within the Company together with our relationships with our partners and suppliers, all of whom have been exceptionally supportive, give the Board confidence in the Company's future performance. 

Our employees have been outstanding in their commitment to provide a high quality service to our customers and driving value for our shareholders, and thereby ensuring the resilience of the Company, throughout this turbulent period. 

On behalf of the Board, I thank them all for their dedication throughout the year as we look forward to a period of growth and a return to sustained profitability, as we enter 2022, during which the Company will celebrate its 50th Birthday.

Notes:

1.  GOING CONCERN

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons:

The results show that the Company made a profit after tax during the year of £204k (2020: loss after tax of

£791k) and had net current liabilities of £844k (2020: £1,196k) as at 30 June 2021.

The year finished with a positive gross cash position of £1,302k (2020: £559k). The Company has total loans of £1,137k (2020: £1,268k) of which £1,079k (2020: £1,192k) is secured on its freehold properties, and net cash excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities was therefore £165k (2020: net debt £708k; 2019: net debt

£314k). The Company is pleased to have improved from a net debt of £708k to a positive net cash position after loans of £165k in the financial year, an improvement of +£872k, with EBITDA (pre IFRS 16) of £424k (2020: -£388k). Customer deposits of £944k (2020: £581k) are £363k higher than last year, reflecting the strength of the order book at year end.

The Company owns the Freehold of its Head Office and Factory in Wantage and its Showroom in Hungerford, which were revalued in February 2020 and have a Net Book Value of £1,872k (2020:

£1,896k) as at 30 June 2021. The total Net Assets at 30 June 2021 were £803k (2020: £595k). The Directors have had preliminary contact with lenders to re-finance the loan, based on our return to profitability, asset backing and stronger cash generation. It is the intention of the Directors to refinance the loan at the earliest opportunity.

The Trading Outlook within the Chief Executive's Business Review shows that the level of orders secured in the first 18 weeks of the year has remained high. Despatched sales, forward committed orders and future orders against which a first stage deposit has been taken, stood at £7.4m (2020: £4.9m; 2019: £4.4m), which is significantly ahead of the corresponding periods in both prior years FY20 and the non-disrupted FY19, which leads the Directors to believe that there is now sustained levels of consumer interest in home improvements.

The Company has successfully developed a hybrid working model allowing the business to work effectively during normal trading conditions and during lockdowns, when the showrooms have been closed. This transition to digital working practices, further gives the Directors the confidence that the Company can now withstand any disruption that may arise from the ongoing pandemic.

The Directors have developed a carefully considered Plan for FY22, structured through the use of individual building blocks, supported by substantive rationale. Cash flows have been prepared for a reasonably foreseeable period of at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements.

For additional prudence, the Directors have modelled a sensitivity analysis up to a 15% reduction in sales against this Plan and for a period of twelve months from the date of signing, to be assured that the Company can withstand any potential periods of lockdown or other business impacts related to the ongoing pandemic.

As the Company operates a made-to-order, negative working capital model, it is reliant on the cash flows from customer deposits and completion of sales to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have considered all of the factors noted above, including the strength in the Company's current trading and forward order book, together with the high levels of quoted business, the support of its landlords and suppliers, plus, the government support available. Taking these factors into account, balanced with the inherent uncertainty associated with forecasting the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet all liabilities, as and when they fall due, for the reasonably foreseeable future and, at least for the period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
										2021				2020
Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated as
follows:
Basic
Profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (£)										205,083				(791,224)
Weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue								189,388,807				186,745,519
Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share										0.11 p				(0.42)p
Fully diluted
Profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (£)										205,083				(791,224)
Weighted average number of ordinary

shares under option										17,478,866				4,369,961
Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share										0.10 p				(0.42)p
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Ordinary shares that would have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential Ordinary shares into Ordinary shares.

Warranty Provision

The Company makes provision for potential future warranty claims on kitchens & bedrooms sold. This provision is reviewed and adjusted annually based on the levels of turnover achieved and the claims recorded in the same period. 

Dilapidations Provision

The Company makes such provision for dilapidations relating to its leasehold showroom estate as it considers necessary based on the length of the remaining term for each showroom & the future plans for each showroom.  Based on this, experience of exiting previous showrooms and industry averages, Management have estimated that a provision of £5 per square foot will give a reasonable estimate of any futures costs.  On exit from a showroom, once the costs have been finalised and the showroom exited, the provision would be released.

On 25 March 2019 the Company granted options over 26,215,931 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 1 pence per Ordinary Share to all employees and Directors of the Company under the Company's Unapproved and EMI Share Option Plan ("Option Plan").  Performance conditions apply to the vesting of options under the Option Plan that are linked to the Company's future profit and share price performance. In addition, the Option Plan includes a hurdle criteria which stipulates that no Ordinary Shares under the share price performance criteria will vest until the share price of an Ordinary Share reaches 3 pence.   The Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2018 Annual General Meeting and the principal terms of the Option Plan were summarised in Appendix 1 to the 2018 Notice of AGM available on the Company's website www.john-lewis.co.uk.
The Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 11 December 2018 . The Company has calculated charges for the share option awards  using  Monte Carlo and Binomial models. Volatility and risk free rates have been calculated for each share option award based on expected volatility over the vesting period and current risk free rates at the time of each award. Volatility assumptions are based on historic volatility for the Company's share price over 4 years. Assumptions for future profitability have been based on management estimates.
The performance conditions attached to the share options are as follows:
AIM listed share price (per Ordinary Share)						Percentage of the Award which vests
> £0.03						9.375%
> £0.04						9.375%
> £0.05						9.375%
> £0.06						9.375%
> £0.07						9.375%
> £0.08						9.375%
> £0.09						9.375%
> £0.10						9.375%
If the AIM listed share price has reached £0.03 or higher
Profit before Tax (in any 12-month statutory accounting period)						Percentage of the Award which vests
> £200k						5.00%
> £400k						5.00%
> £500k						5.00%
> £600k						5.00%
> £700k						5.00%
Assumptions used in the valuation of share option awards during the year were as follows:
Award date	Share price at date of award / exercise price (pence)			Expected volatility	Risk free rate	Expected dividends	Option life in years	IFRS2 fair value per share option (pence)
25 March 2019		0.6 / 1.0		50%	1.02%	-	10	0.125 - 0.229
Share and share option awards outstanding
The share options awarded during the year under the Option Plan were as follows:
Scheme and date of award	Exercise price		B / Fwd 1 July  2020		Number granted	Number forfeited	Number  exercised	C / Fwd 30 June 2021
Option Plan 25 March 2019 Vesting date is variable but no less then 2 years		1 pence		17,479,844	-	356,972	-	17,122,872
