Results and Operations
Tex Group sales for the 12 months to 31st December 2010 amounted to £33.1m compared with £33.0m in 2009. The past year has been a year of stabilisation and restructuring to build foundations for the future and to improve the profitability of the sales achieved.
Pre-tax profit earned in 2010 was £688k compared with £418k in 2009.
Both the Plastics Division and the Boards & Panels Division improved their sales levels and also their pre-tax results, with the Plastics Division doubling its operating profit. The Engineering Division contracted further but, as a result of cost control, was able to limit the impact on the operating profit.
Prospects and Dividend
The orders for the first quarter are in line with budget but, with uncertainties in the Middle East, EEC difficulties with many countries in substantial deficits, and the increase in VAT in the UK, the future continues to be unpredictable. However, our order book is at present in excess of £10,000,000. This is ahead of the long-term average and is therefore encouraging.
In the current uncertain climate, the Board feels it is necessary to retain the dividend at the lowly level of 1.0 pence (2009: 1.0 pence) which would make a total of 2.0 pence in 2010 (2009: 2.0 pence), as we wish to strengthen the balance sheet so we have less reliance on the banking sector.
The Group reduced its borrowings by £700,000 in 2010 and we intend to continue this policy for the foreseeable future.
The final dividend will be paid, subject to shareholder approval, on 22nd July 2011 to members on the register as at 17th June 2011.
Staff
It has been another busy and demanding year, and I would like to thank staff at all levels in the Group for their contribution.
