PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

The Group had a strong start to the financial year, delivering results ahead of pre-pandemic levels. Demand for products, particularly poultry products, remained strong allowing the Group to remain in line with revenue expectations. The cost containment embarked on by management also continued to yield significant savings and contributed positively to the results. Improvements in the load shedding situation, following the good regional rains, resulted in reduced generator fuel costs and improved production efficiencies.

 

Notwithstanding, the half year period continued to present challenges in the operating environment, resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and the previous 2020 economic uncertainties, despite greater stability compared to the second half of the 2020 financial year. The rising inflation put pressure on consumer disposable income and reduced the share of wallet going towards food spend. Supply constraints on some of Zambeef's product lines further put pressure on cost of inputs.

 

 

 

 

 

KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Revenue was ZMW2.2 billion (USD103 million) and we achieved a gross profit of ZMW739.4 million (USD35.2 million), measuring 20% and 18% above the prior year in kwacha terms, but both down by 21% and 22% in USD terms, respectively. The performance in USD was adversely impacted by the steady depreciation of the local currency.

 

The Group's strong performance was driven by growth in the poultry, retail and cropping divisions. Management continued optimising top line growth through revenue management while the continued cost control measures helped deliver strong Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA).

 

The profitability was mainly driven by cropping, increased volumes and margins in the stock feed division and Retail and Cold Chain Food Products which is in line with our strategic imperative of consistent revenue growth through expansion of our retail network.

 

Despite being slightly lower than the prior year (measured in USD), exchange losses and financing costs remained high in kwacha terms, eroding bottom-line performance. The depreciation of the kwacha led to increased financing costs and exchange losses on our dollar denominated debt, notwithstanding continued principal repayments during the period.

 

Zambeef's Total Profit for the period increased from ZMW2.1m to ZMW53.9m (USD0.154m to USD2.57m).

 

Commenting on these results, the Chairman, Mr Michael Mundashi said:

 

"Despite the macroeconomic headwinds and Covid-19 related uncertainties continuing into the current year, we saw a relatively more stable environment during the period under review in terms of the rate of depreciation of the kwacha. Despite these challenges, the Group generated an operating profit, including discontinued operations, of ZMW175.6 million (USD8.4 million) compared to ZMW116 million (USD8.3 million) achieved in first half of the previous financial year. This achievement, in the face of such economic and market difficulties, illustrates the Group's fundamental strengths as a diversified and resilient business.

 

"The Board remains committed to achieving the Group's strategic priorities while navigating the seasonal market and economic challenges. The focus will be on optimising the assets of core businesses to pay down debt and to invest for the future.

 

"The macro-economic climate is expected to remain challenging for Zambia in 2021, characterised by high national debt levels and continued foreign currency supply constraints which could negatively affect business activity across the economy.

 

"The Group remains committed to delivering value to shareholders and is positioned to navigate the turmoil while capitalising on opportunities."

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

 

Dear Shareholder,

It is my great pleasure to present to you the Chairman's Report with respect to the financial half year period ended March 31, 2021.

Despite the 2020 macroeconomic headwinds and Covid-19 related uncertainties continuing into the current year, we saw a relatively more stable environment during the period under review in terms of the rate of depreciation of the kwacha and the easing of monetary policy. However, the period saw adverse market conditions in respect of securing supply, which saw a sharp rise in food inflation.

The Group generated an operating profit, including discontinued operations, of ZMW175.6 million (USD8.4 million) compared to ZMW116 million (USD8.3 million) achieved in the previous half-year period. The operating profit excluding discontinued operations was ZMW154.8 million (USD7.4 million) compared to ZMW125.5 million (USD9.0 million) achieved in the previous half-year period. The Group's performance had shown resilience in the face of market difficulties, illustrating the strengths of the vertically integrated business model which is key to creating long-term shareholder value.

The Board remains committed to achieving the Group's strategic priorities while navigating the seasonal market and economic challenges. The focus will be on optimising the assets of core businesses, to pay down debt and to invest for the future.

 

The Economic Environment

The Zambian economy has been under significant pressure stemming from the national debt burden, which was exacerbated by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite indications of recovery in the global economy from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the Zambian economic recovery remains gradual in the face of a high debt burden, high inflation and a volatile currency.

 

The Zambian kwacha has depreciated by 10% since the end of the 2020 full financial year period. The pace of depreciation of the local currency has slowed down owing to monetary policy interventions and the prospective benefits of a higher copper price on the international exchange markets.

Inflationary pressures, particularly food inflation, have resulted in a significant drop in our customers' disposable income and has continued to put pressure on the share of wallet going towards food spend. Inflation for the half-year period under review closed at 22.8% compared to 14% for the previous corresponding period. The resultant bumper harvest from the good summer rainfall season is expected to drive down food inflation in the second half of the financial year.

 

Divisional Performance review

 

Retail and Cold Chain Food Products

The Group continues to prioritise revenue optimisation, asset utilisation and cost control as pillars to drive profitability in the combined retail and cold chain food products divisions. Revenue grew by 29% and operating profit growth of 61% in kwacha terms was achieved.

 

The division experienced supply challenges during the period which resulted in inputs price increases. As a result, volumes declined across product categories. However, demand for our products was high as we remained competitively priced.

Management positioned the Poultry division as a focus point for growth this year and continues to implement measures to improve production efficiencies and therefore profitability. Increased demand for broilers and eggs allowed for revenue improvement in the Poultry division despite a volume decline.

 

Stockfeed

Volumes were flat compared to prior year during the period owing to slow growth and some declines on major product lines. The shortage of day-old chicks on the market limited customers buying of broiler feed while an export ban reduced export sales and the ability to earn foreign currency. The high cost of imported materials negatively impacted costs of sales.

Cropping

Zambia had a good summer rainfall season during the half year period, and as a result, yields for the summer crop are expected to be in line with expectations. The country is expected to deliver a bumper harvest which will result in lower maize prices which will help stabilise food inflation.

 

Strategy review

The board undertook a review of the medium to long-term strategy to position the business to respond to the challenges and opportunities for the future. I am happy to update shareholders that the process is proceeding according to plan. Part of the strategy review process included a review of our operational business units and also governance structures. The board review which I announced at the annual general meeting included a review of the composition of the board in terms of both compliment and size and I am pleased to announce that this process has since been concluded.

 

Outlook

Although we expect some level of stability, the macro-economic climate is expected to remain challenging during the second half period. The kwacha is expected to continue depreciating at a steady rate with expected improvements towards the end of the calendar year. The copper price, which is a major foreign exchange earner for the country, is expected to continue holding as production increases. Monetary policy easing is expected to continue and inflation is expected to stabilise following the summer crop bumper harvest. The Covid-19 pandemic and how it will evolve has further potential to impact our operations. There are fears of a potential third wave as the country navigates through the winter season that occurs during the following reporting period.

 

The group remains committed to delivering value to shareholders and is positioned to navigate the turmoil while capitalising on opportunities.

 

Acknowledgement

 

On behalf of the Company and the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Margaret Mudenda, John Rabb, David Osborne and Professor Enala Mwase who resigned from the board in February and March 2021. Their dedication and contributions to the success of the business over the years will be greatly missed.

 

Since my last Report, we welcomed Monica Musonda, Pearson Gowero and Roman Frenkel to our Board of Directors. Their industry experience and backgrounds will be key in driving the business into the next phase of the Groups evolution as a regional food provider.

 

I would also want to thank my fellow board members for steering the Group through this challenging period. To our management and staff, I express my gratitude to them for another solid performance, dedicated efforts and resilience in the face of challenges. I am proud of our achievements to date, and I am excited by the potential opportunities upon which we will build on our progress.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW

 

Overview

The half year period continued to present challenges in the operating environment, resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and 2020 economic uncertainties, despite greater stability compared to the second half of the 2020 financial year. Inflation continued to rise, although the exchange rate depreciated at a much slower rate. Money supply continued to improve in the economy. High inflation put pressure on disposable incomes as prices of goods and services increased resulting in depressed consumer spending. Due to the low supply of livestock from producers, after the devastating effects on their profitability by the previous drought and depreciation of the currency, the retail and cold chain food products supply was negatively affected. The resultant surge in food product prices to our customers forced them towards more affordable offerings of our products.

 

The load shedding situation improved towards the end of the calendar year 2020 following good regional rains as a result of the La Nina weather pattern, resulting in reduced generator fuel expenditure and improved production efficiencies.

 

Despite the challenges noted above, Zambeef has had a strong start to the financial year, delivering results ahead of pre-pandemic levels as revenue increased and costs were contained.

 

The Group delivered operating profit, including discontinued operations, of ZMW175.6 million (USD8.37 million), equating to a growth of 51.3% in kwacha terms and a flat performance of 0.3% growth in US dollar terms, compared with ZMW116.1 million (USD8.35million) in HY2020. The operating profit excluding discontinued operations was ZMW154.8 million (USD7.4 million) compared to ZMW125.5 million (USD9.0 million) achieved in the previous half-year period.

 

Our revenue, including discontinued operations, was ZMW2.2 billion (USD106.9 million) and we achieved a gross profit of ZMW782.1 million (USD37.2 million), respectively 23.7% and 24.3% above the prior year in kwacha terms, but both down by 18% and 17.6% in US dollar terms, respectively.

 

The Group's strong performance was driven by growth in the Poultry, Retail and Cropping divisions. Management continued optimising top line growth through revenue management while the continued cost control measures helped deliver strong Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), and ensured resultant operating leverage.

 

Exchange losses and financing costs remained high in kwacha terms, eroding bottom-line performance. The depreciation of the kwacha led to increased financing costs and exchange losses on our dollar denominated debt, notwithstanding continued principal repayments during the period.

 

Our diversified and vertically integrated business with strong brands, supportive partners and an experienced management team helped deliver the encouraging results.

 

Strategic focus

Our strategic focus is to optimise our asset utilisation and maximise returns. We remain committed to our strategy of focussing on our core businesses, in which we strive to be the best in class. The continued deleveraging and divestiture of non-core assets will enable us to free up cash to invest into our core businesses and therefore deliver shareholder value.

Retail and Cold Chain Food Products (CCFP)

The period saw traditionally high volume sales lines come under pressure amidst a high inflationary environment and reduced customer spending. Despite high demand in our key product lines, supply constraints negatively impacted volume growth. Revenue growth was mainly driven by pricing increases on traditional product categories and aided by sales volume growth of traded goods and affordable categories. Shoprite in-store butcheries were a source of revenue growth as they proved relatively more resilient to inflationary pressures.

 

Sales volumes came under pressure on the back of supply constraints due to constrained livestock producer profitability levels. Significant producer price increases were necessary under the review period to livestock producers to increase output. The large price increases that were necessary to stimulate supply resulted in customers moving towards more affordable protein offerings. The Poultry division was a major contributor of revenue growth due to high demand for it as a relatively affordable protein source, in the form of chicken and eggs.

 

Despite the challenges, the Retail and CCFP business registered a healthy revenue growth of 29% above HY2020. Management employed a revenue optimisation strategy, responding quickly to the evolving volatile operating environment.

 

Retail and CCFP delivered an operating profit growth of 61% in kwacha terms. Operational efficiency improvements and overhead spend discipline ensured translation of the top line growth to the bottom-line. Reduced load shedding helped reduce generator set fuel costs, which further contributed to the increased profitability, particularly in the second quarter.

 

Stockfeed (Novatek)

Revenue for the division was 17% above prior year mainly due to price, as volumes remained flat on prior year. The demand for poultry feed reduced following a day-old chick supply shortage across the market. An export ban on animal feed from Zambia resulted in a further slowdown of production volumes. However, fish feed continues to register exponential growth following the sector specific lifting of the export ban and government's efforts to make Zambia a regional player in the aquaculture sector. The depreciation of the kwacha to the USD and ZAR negatively impacted foreign currency denominated costs.

 

Cropping

The revenue decline registered in the Cropping business is due to the timing of wheat sales and the impact of the sale of Sinazongwe farm. However, operating profit increased in kwacha terms despite the decline in dollar terms. Zambia experienced a good rainfall season and the yield on the summer crop is expected to be in line with expectations.

 

Outlook

Although we expect the macroeconomic situation to remain volatile, we expect more stability in the medium term than we experienced in the second half of 2020. Copper prices have rallied following the global recovery from the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic and how it evolves will continue to be an important factor in how we perform for the remainder of the year. We believe that a healthy, sustainable and profitable growth trend can only be achieved when we work together with our partners, communities and customers. We remain committed to implementing and enforcing Covid-19 protocols in our outlets.

 

Despite the macro-economic headwinds and uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Zambeef's underlying performance is expected to remain resilient.

 

Rehabilitating our balance sheet remains a priority. We have focused on deleveraging and thereby demonstrating to our shareholders that we have a clear path to take care of pending debt maturities. Our current strategy will help relieve exchange losses and financing cost pressures to the bottom line, which will increase free cash flow to enable us to invest for the future.

Taking the performance of each of our key business areas in turn:

 

Retail and CCFP

The combined Retail and CCFP divisions generated an EBIT margin of 5% which increased by 99 basis points from the previous financial year generating an absolute value increase of 61% to ZMW 74.1 million (HY2020: ZMW 45.9 million) in kwacha terms and 7.1% increase to USD 3.5 million (HY2020: USD 3.3 million) in dollar terms.

The strong performance was underpinned by revenue optimisation in Poultry products mainly due to favourable price and high demand given the relative affordability of Chicken and Egg as a source of protein. Cost pressure arising from supply constraints negatively impacted on the profitability in Pork, Beef and Milk.

 

West Africa Retail

Our Nigerian business was impacted by the sporadic protests related to the Shoprite announcement of the intention to pull out of the Nigeria market and the EndSARS protests. In addition, the business experienced supply challenges across its major product lines. Despite all these challenges, revenue increased by 43% to ZMW 155.7 million (HY2020: ZMW 109 million) mainly due to pricing and exchange translational effects with dollar revenue declining by 5%. However, operating profit declined by 89% in dollar terms due to rising costs.

 

Stockfeed (Novatek)

Sales volumes were flat on prior year mainly due to declines on key volume categories. Shortage of day-old chicks slowed the growth of broiler feed while an export ban impacted export sales.

 

Revenue grew by 17% in kwacha terms (23% decline in USD terms), while the operating profit only grew by 9.2% to ZMW 67 million (HY2020: ZMW 62 million) or declined by 28% to USD 3.2 million (HY2020: USD 4.4 million) in dollar terms. The gross margin increased to 19.3% from 19.1% in the prior year owing to favourable pricing despite rising costs of inputs.

 

Overheads increased by 27% to ZMW 77 million (HY2020: ZMW 61 million) owing to high repairs and maintenance costs and labour costs.

 

Cropping

The Cropping business is key to Zambeef, providing raw material inputs for value added processing within the Group and serving as a currency hedge by being able to generate USD cash flow.

 

Revenue decreased 37% to ZMW 163 million (HY2020: ZMW 257 million) or 58% to USD 7.8 million (HY2020: USD 18.5 million) in dollar terms, mainly due to timing of wheat sales during this year's cycle and the impact of the previous years sale of Sinazongwe farm and currently the assets held for sale at Chiawa farm. Gross profit increased 18% compared to the prior half-year, with only a 21% increase in the overheads even in the context of the depreciation of the kwacha.

 

Zambia experienced a good rainfall season and the summer harvest is expected to be in line with expectations. However, the price of maize is expected to be lower than the prior year following the expected bumper harvest predicted for Zambia.

 

Other businesses

Total revenue from the Group's other business units increased by 33% to ZMW 146 million (HY2020: ZMW 109 million) mainly due to growth in both the milling and leather to shoe businesses. This translated to gross profit growth of 17% in kwacha terms due to cost pressures in Milling arising from the increase in price of wheat in kwacha terms following the depreciation of the currency.

 

The leather to shoe business turnaround strategy is beginning to pay off as the division saw an increase in demand for its products, particularly school shoes, following the opening of schools after Covid-19 related closures. Management focus has been to optimise production efficiencies, control overhead costs, innovation and look for new market opportunities for its products.
