· Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2020 of $27.8m (31 December 2019: $15.0m; 30 June 2019: $14.1m)

Operational Summary

· The Company took actions in response to COVID-19 to ensure that production continued in each territory throughout the period, in accordance with local regulations and health and safety procedures

· Total sales were lower due to reduced market activity as a result of COVID-19, including the postponement of new projects - however the Company has not received any order cancellations

o The Company's Irrigation business unit was more resilient while the Industrial business unit experienced a greater impact

· Sustained execution on strategy to improve operations:

o Introduced further manufacturing automation and other process enhancements

o Maintained tight cost control and introduced cost mitigation measures in response to the pandemic

· New Sigma product series, targeted at the Irrigation market, continued to perform well with sales increasing by 16.1%

· Secured a new five-year global distribution agreement with Netafim, the global leader in precision irrigation solutions, for Amiad's disc filtration products for the irrigation market

 

Dori Ivzori, Chief Executive Officer of Amiad, said: "While our sales were lower for the period due to the postponement, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, of certain projects we had expected to secure, we are encouraged that we have not received any order cancellations. Moreover, thanks to the actions that we took at the end of 2019 to improve operational efficiency, we delivered strong cash generation from operations. During the first half, we were able to maintain production throughout the period and we continued to enhance our manufacturing processes. In addition, our financial position was significantly bolstered with the investment from FIMI - resulting in Amiad moving to a net cash position. Consequently, the fundamentals of our business were greatly strengthened during this period.

 

"Looking ahead, we entered the second half of 2020 with a higher backlog than at the same point of the prior year and the rate of new orders is robust. There remains uncertainty over the timing of when our markets will recover and the rescheduling of postponed projects in our various geographies and segments. However, we expect to continue to benefit from our measures to improve operational efficiency. Consequently, the Board anticipates revenue for full year 2020 to be lower than that for 2019, but operating profit to be significantly higher given the level of profit generated in the first half, albeit the Board is cautious on the outlook for the rest of the year given the uncertain macroeconomic environment. In addition, the Board believes that the current market conditions, in particular, could offer acquisition opportunities to accelerate our growth. As a result, the Board continues to look to the future with optimism."

Operational Review

 

Amiad entered 2020 with a higher backlog than at the same point of the prior year and a solid pipeline. However, primarily in the second quarter, there was reduced activity and a postponement in the conversion of new projects in the pipeline to orders across the Company's markets due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result, revenue for the period was lower at $51.5m (H1 2019: $58.4m). Nonetheless, the Company is encouraged that it has not received any order cancellations of a material nature.

 

Notwithstanding the impact of the pandemic on sales, as a result of the successful execution on its strategy to improve its operations, which was initiated at the end of 2019, the Company achieved a strong financial performance during the period, with net cash generated from operations increasing by 118.8% to $8.1m (H1 2019: $3.7m). This was also supported by the Company's effective response to the COVID-19 outbreak to implement cost mitigation measures, including the Board of Directors agreeing to a voluntary reduction in their remuneration until at least year end. In addition, the financial position of the Company was strengthened through raising gross proceeds of $21.3m via a subscription by the Company's significant shareholder, FIMI Opportunity Funds ("FIMI"), and an open offer.

 

In response to COVID-19, alongside implementing cost mitigation measures, the Company acted to ensure the safety of its employees and complied with the regulatory requirements in each of its territories, while preserving business continuity as far as possible. Throughout the period, production continued in each territory and the Company took measures to ensure it could still deliver products to its customers, as far as circumstances allowed.

 

In addition, during the first half of the year, Amiad continued to strengthen the fundamentals of the business and invest in securing future growth. The Company introduced manufacturing automation in its metal department along with other process enhancements. Amiad conducted R&D into improving existing products as well as new product development. The Company also signed a new five-year global distribution agreement with Netafim, the global leader in precision irrigation solutions, for the Company's disc filtration products for the irrigation market, which extends the existing long-term strategic relationship between the two companies. This agreement provides Amiad with continued access to Netafim's extensive distribution network, covering over 110 countries, which the Company believes will yield significant revenue over the five-year period. Netafim represents a material contributor to the Company's sales in the irrigation market and management believes this new agreement will be particularly important in supporting the launch of future products.

 

Performance by Segment

 

Amiad has two business units: Irrigation and Industry. Revenue generated under the Company's distribution agreement with Netafim, whereby Netafim sells Amiad's irrigation products, contributes to the Irrigation business unit sales. The Industry business unit comprises sales into the Petrol, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas ("PPOG"), Municipal and General (other industry) segments.

 

Irrigation

 

The Irrigation business unit generated $30.3m in the first half of 2020 (H1 2019: $33.4m), accounting for 58.9% of the Company's revenue (H1 2019: 57.2%). This primarily reflects growth in the US and China being offset by reductions elsewhere. In particular, revenue generated under the Netafim agreement was $9.5m compared with $12.3m for the first half of 2019.

 

The Company's latest product series targeted at the irrigation market, which was launched in 2018 - consisting of the innovative Sigma Pro, Mini Sigma and ADI-P controller - continued to perform well with sales increasing by 16.1% over the same period of the previous year.

 

Industry

 

The Industry business unit generated $21.2m for the first half of 2020 (H1 2019: $25.0m), accounting for 41.1% of the Company's revenue (H1 2019: 42.8%). This reflects lower revenue in all segments with the Industry business unit and in all geographies except Singapore.

 

The Municipal segment accounted for 31.3% of the Industry business unit's sales (H1 2019: 28.1%); the PPOG segment accounted for 16.0% (H1 2019: 16.2%); and other industry accounted for 52.7% (H1 2019: 55.6%).

 

Performance by Region

 

Americas

 

The Americas region includes sales by Amiad's subsidiaries in the US and Mexico as well as sales from the Company's headquarters in Israel into Latin America. In the Americas, Amiad delivered sales of $14.1m (H1 2019: $15.2m), which accounted for 27.5% of total Company revenue (H1 2019: 26.1%).

 

In its key geography of the US, sales were $12.6m (H1 2019: $13.5m), reflecting growth in the Irrigation business unit to $7.8m (H1 2019: $7.0m) offset by a reduction in the Industry business unit to $4.8m (H1 2019: $6.5m). Within the Industry unit in the US, sales in the Municipal segment were $2.8m (H1 2019: $3.8m); sales in the PPOG segment were $0.9m (H1 2019: $1.4m); and other industry sales were $1.1m (H1 2019: $1.3m). The produced water market (within the PPOG segment), which the Company had targeted for growth in 2020, remained depressed as a result of the low oil price, and the Company redirected its efforts to the other segments. However, Amiad continues to believe that this segment offers significant potential once market conditions improve.

 

In Latin America, sales were $1.5m for the first half of 2020 compared with $1.8m for the first half of the prior year. This reflects a decrease in the Industry business unit to $0.4m (H1 2019: $0.8m) and a slight increase in sales in the Irrigation business unit at $1.1m (H1 2019: $1.0m).

 

EMEA

 

The EMEA region includes sales by Amiad's subsidiaries in France (Amiad Europe), Turkey and the UK as well as the domestic sales of the Company's headquarters in Israel and also into Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

 

Revenue in EMEA was $15.4m (H1 2019: $16.9m). In the Industry business unit, revenue was $7.8m (H1 2019: $8.7m) as a reduction in other industry sales at $4.7m (H1 2019: $7.3m) offset growth in the Municipal segment to $2.6m (H1 2019: $0.8m) and flat sales in PPOG at $0.6m (H1 2019: $0.6m). Irrigation business unit revenue was $7.6m (H1 2019: $8.2m). Geographically, reductions in Amiad Europe and Turkey offset growth in Amiad UK, Israel and from the Company headquarters into EMEA.

 

APAC

 

The APAC region includes sales by Amiad's subsidiaries in Australia, China, India and Singapore as well as sales from the Company's headquarters in Israel into the Asia-Pacific geography.

 

Revenue in APAC was $12.5m (H1 2019: $14.0m), with Industry business unit sales of $8.2m (H1 2019: $9.1m) and Irrigation business unit sales of $4.3m (H1 2019: $4.9m). Within the Industry business unit, reduced sales in the Municipal segment at $1.2m (H1 2019: $2.4m) and PPOG at $1.9m (H1 2019: $2.0m) offset an increase in other industry sales to $5.1m (H1 2019: $4.7m). Geographically, growth in Singapore was offset by reductions elsewhere. Australia continued to be the overall largest contributor to regional revenue, accounting for 48.4% of total sales (H1 2019: 54.8%).

 

 

Financial Review

 

Revenue for the six months to 30 June 2020 was $51.5m compared with $58.3m for the first half of 2019. The reduction was due to reduced market activity and some customers postponing new projects that the Company had expected to convert to orders as a result of the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Gross margin improved to 40.1% (H1 2019: 39.2%) as the Company began to benefit from the actions taken at the end of 2019 to increase operational efficiency. Gross profit was $20.6m (H1 2019: $22.9m) due to the lower revenue.

 

As a result of the actions taken at the end of 2019 to improve efficiency combined with the cost mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, total operating costs were significantly reduced to $17.6m (H1 2019: $20.4m). Sales and marketing costs were reduced to $11.4m (H1 2019: $14.0m); administrative and general expenses were reduced to $4.5m (H1 2019: $4.7m); and R&D costs were slightly lower at $1.7m (H1 2019: $1.8m).

 

Operating profit increased by 22.1% to $3.0m (H1 2019: $2.5m) as a result of the reduction in expenses, which more than offset the lower revenue. Net finance costs were immaterial ($0.008m) for the period compared with net finance costs of $1.5m for the first half of 2019. This primarily reflects finance income due to foreign exchange hedging and favourable interest rates during the period combined with significant financial expenses in the first half of 2019 from the implementation of IFRS 16. In addition, during the period, the Company raised gross proceeds of $21.3m via a subscription by its significant shareholder, FIMI, and open offer for 7,652,174 new ordinary shares. The proceeds of the fund raise were used to reduce the Company's bank credit and short-term borrowing by $9.1m with the remainder generating interest from being bank deposits. Consequently, the Company generated $7.2m from financing activities during the period compared with using $0.5m for the first half of 2019.

 

As a result of the lower net finance costs, profit before tax for the first half of 2020 increased by 218.5% over the same period of 2019 to $3.0m (H1 2019: $0.9m).

 

Net profit for the period increased by 402.8% to $2.7m (H1 2019: $0.5m), with slightly lower income tax expenses of $0.3m (H1 2019: $0.4m). Fully diluted earnings per share was $0.07 (H1 2019: $0.03).

 

Net cash generated from operations increased by 118.8% to $8.1m (H1 2019: $3.7m), reflecting the increased profitability and improvements in stock management and working capital, which generated $2.2m of incremental cash flow, partly due to measures implemented in response to COVID-19 and to a certain extent from the lower revenues. 

 

Net cash used in investing activities was reduced to $1.2m (H1 2019: $2.5m). This primarily reflects lower investment in equipment at $0.9m (H1 2019: $2.2m) due to some product launch and machine installation delays as a result of the pandemic.

 

At 30 June 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $27.8m (31 December 2019: $15.0m; 30 June 2019: $14.1m). As a result of the fund raise and increased cash from operations, the Company had net cash of $12.2m at period end compared with net debt of $12.5m at 31 December 2019 and $14.4m at 30 June 2019.

 

 

Outlook

 

Amiad entered the second half of 2020 with a higher backlog than at the same point of the prior year and the Company has not received any order cancellations of a material nature. The rate of new orders has remained robust, but slightly below that of the prior year with the potential that a proportion of these orders will be delivered in 2021. There remains uncertainty over the timing of market recovery and rescheduling of postponed projects in Amiad's various geographies and segments, with the oil & gas market, in particular, expected to continue to be depressed into next year. However, the Company is encouraged that China, having been the Company's first territory to be impacted by the pandemic, is now performing well and the Company expects to recover a large proportion of the losses of the first half by year end in that subsidiary.

 

As a result of the actions taken at the end of 2019 and during the period to improve the Company's operational efficiency, the fundamentals of the business are solid and the Company expects to maintain gross margin for the full year. However, the Company is keeping under review the impact of the currency markets.

 

Consequently, the Board of Amiad expects revenue for full year 2020 to be lower than that for 2019, but operating profit to be significantly higher given the level of profit generated in the first half, albeit the Board is cautious on the outlook for the rest of the year given the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Amiad continues to invest in R&D to develop new and improved products and expand the Company's offering to gain market share, particularly in Irrigation and in the US. Additionally, with the investment from FIMI as well as the strong cash generation during the period, the Company is well-capitalised and the Board believes that the current market conditions, in particular, could offer acquisition opportunities to accelerate the growth of the Company. As a result, the Board continues to look to the future with optimism.

NOTE 6 - EFFECT OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19):

 

In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), originating from China, spread worldwide.

So far, during 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy and created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption of financial markets.

The various precautionary measures taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of the coronavirus has affected, and could have an adverse effect on, the global markets and its economy, including the demand for consumables, products and services, as well as on the availability and pricing of employees, resources, materials, manufacturing and delivery efforts and other aspects of the global economy.

As a result of COVID-19 and its severe worldwide economic impact on demands, the Company expects the revenue for the year ending December 31, 2020 to be lower than the revenue for the year ending December 31, 2019.

In the wake of the crisis, the Company took various steps to cope with the decline in revenue. The moves included, among others, payroll cuts, including placing employees on unpaid leave, reducing marketing activities and other expenses.

The Company believes that there is no concern about its ability to repay financial liabilities

The Company continues to monitor and conduct regular assessments of the development of the crisis, examine its exposure and impact on the Company's activities, and take steps as required.
