DCC, the business support services group, today announced its results for the
six months ended 30 September 2006.
Commenting on the results, DCC's Chief Executive/Deputy Chairman, Jim Flavin,
said:
'DCC achieved excellent revenue and operating profit growth in the first half
to 30 September 2006.
The Board's expectations for the full financial year have improved. The Board
now believes that DCC will achieve approximately mid-teen operating profit
growth in its seasonally more significant second half, driven by expected strong
profit growth in DCC Energy, DCC SerCom, DCC Healthcare and DCC Environmental.
The previously announced short-term reduction in the profit contribution from
Manor Park Homebuilders, DCC's principal associate, will hold back the growth
in adjusted earnings per share this year. Arising from the improved operating
profit growth outlook, the Board now expects that adjusted earnings per share
for the full financial year will be close to that achieved in the year to 31
March 2006.'

Results - Excellent operating profit growth
DCC achieved excellent operating profit growth in the six months ended 30
September 2006. A summary of the results is as follows:
€'m Change on prior year
Revenue 1,803.3 + 18.1%
-------
Operating profit
DCC Energy 12.3 + 14.4%
DCC SerCom 11.0 + 45.3%
DCC Healthcare 10.0 - 0.7%
DCC Food & Beverage 7.3 - 1.4%
DCC Environmental 4.6 + 64.4%
-----
Group operating profit* 45.2 + 17.1%
Share of associates' profit after tax 4.7 - 16.0%
Net financing costs (5.4)
-----
Profit before exceptional items,
amortisation of intangible assets and tax 44.5 + 8.3%
Adjusted earnings per share* 48.95 cent + 8.0%
Dividend per share 17.87 cent + 15.0%
* excluding exceptional items and amortisation of intangible assets
DCC Energy, DCC SerCom and DCC Environmental all achieved excellent profit
growth. DCC Healthcare achieved strong revenue growth, however, changes in its
revenue mix, certain product shortages and investment in developing activities
caused a reduction in its operating margin. In DCC Food & Beverage, good growth
in the Irish businesses was offset by the impact of a difficult market for the
UK wine business. Overall, these results drove an excellent increase in Group
operating profit of 17.1%.
As expected, there has been a short-term reduction in the contribution from
Manor Park Homebuilders, DCC's principal associate, due to planning delays. The
share of associates' profit after tax declined by 16%.
The net financing cost for the period increased to €5.4 million (2005: €3.1
million) driven by acquisition and share buy-back expenditure.
Profit before exceptional items, amortisation of intangible assets and tax
increased by 8.3%.
After lower exceptional costs of €1.0 million (2005: €5.3 million), profit
before tax increased by 20.2%.
Adjusted earnings per share for the period increased by 8.0%.
Acquisitions and Development
Acquisition and development expenditure in the period amounted to €87.0 million
of which €24.2 million related to capital expenditure. DCC's ongoing acquisition
search process has resulted in a number of acquisitions at a total committed
cost of €62.8 million. The cash impact of acquisitions in the period was €62.9
million.
The main acquisitions during the period were the purchase of a 50% joint venture
interest in the William Tracey group of companies (Scotland's leading recycling
and waste management business) and the acquisition of Carlton Fuels (the fast
growing north of England based oil distribution business). In addition, the
Group acquired the remaining 50% of TechnoPharm Compounding (an Irish Medicines
Board licensed compounding facility producing patient-ready dosage packs of
oncology and pain management pharmaceuticals and paediatric nutritional
products).
Today DCC announced the acquisition of a 90% shareholding in Wastecycle, a
rapidly growing recycling and waste management company based in Nottingham.
DCC is actively pursuing further acquisitions in each of its core areas.
Financial strength
At 30 September 2006, the Group had net debt of €127.2 million and total equity
of €590.6 million. In line with normal seasonal trends, working capital
increased by €26.1 million since 31 March 2006 to €146.3 million, which equates
to 13 days revenue and compares favourably with 14 days at 30 September 2005.
DCC's strong financial position leaves it well placed to pursue its organic and
acquisition growth objectives.
Property assets
The Group has a number of property assets, the value of which has benefited from
re-zoning and the overall uplift in property values in Dublin. Specifically,
the Group owns a site of approximately 10.7 acres in Tallaght, Dublin 24, which
has recently been re-zoned for mixed-use development (residential, retail and
commercial). Included in the Group's other Dublin property assets is a
valuable site of approximately 1.5 acres in the Sandyford Industrial Estate,
Dublin 18, which, subject to price, DCC plans to sell in the near term.
Share buyback
On 19 June 2006, DCC purchased 1,038,311 of its own shares, representing 1.29%
of its issued share capital (excluding Treasury Shares), at a price of €17.90
per share and at a total cost of €18.8 million including stamp duty and
commission.
Since July 2000, DCC has bought back a total of 10,247,231 shares, being 11.61%
of its current issued share capital, at an average price per share of €11.23 and
at a total cost of €116.5 million including stamp duty and commission.
Interim dividend increase of 15%
The Board has decided to increase the interim dividend by 15% to 17.87 cent per
share. This dividend will be paid on 8 December 2006 to shareholders on the
register at the close of business on 24 November 2006.
Outlook
The Board's expectations for the full financial year have improved. The Board
now believes that DCC will achieve approximately mid-teen operating profit
growth in its seasonally more significant second half, driven by expected strong
profit growth in DCC Energy, DCC SerCom, DCC Healthcare and DCC Environmental.
The previously announced short-term reduction in the profit contribution from
Manor Park Homebuilders, DCC's principal associate, will hold back the growth in
adjusted earnings per share this year. Arising from the improved operating
profit growth outlook, the Board now expects that adjusted earnings per share
for the full financial year will be close to that achieved in the year to 31
March 2006.
Operating review
DCC Energy
----------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Revenue €996.3m €822.0m +21.2%
Operating profit €12.3m €10.7m +14.4%
DCC Energy achieved excellent profit growth, with the business benefiting from
good organic growth and the first time contribution from Carlton Fuels, which
was acquired last July. This result was achieved despite the well-above average
temperatures experienced during September.
Carlton Fuels has been successfully integrated with DCC's oil distribution
business in Britain. DCC Energy is now the largest oil distributor in Britain
with circa 10% market share having first entered the market in September 2001.
DCC is continuing to seek acquisition opportunities in pursuit of a
consolidation strategy in the oil distribution market in Britain.
DCC Energy is well placed to achieve strong profit growth in the seasonally more
significant second half.
DCC SerCom
----------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Revenue €529.2m €448.9m +17.9%
Operating profit €11.0m €7.6m +45.3%
Operating margin 2.1% 1.7%
DCC SerCom achieved excellent profit growth, with strong performances in both
SerCom Distribution and SerCom Solutions driven by excellent sales volume growth
and improved margins.
SerCom Distribution, the IT & Entertainment Products business, generated
excellent sales volume growth by capitalising on the growing demand for consumer
digital products (including Xbox 360) and on improved demand in the Continental
European enterprise infrastructure market. Like-for-like unit volume growth was
approximately 28% and estimated product price deflation of approximately 10%
resulted in organic revenue growth of 15%.
SerCom Solutions, the procurement and supply chain management business, had an
excellent first half due to increased demand from key customers. The business
opened an office in China during the first half, which strengthened its
procurement service capability.
It is expected that DCC SerCom will achieve strong profit growth in the second
half.
DCC Healthcare
--------------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Revenue €112.2m €101.6m +10.4%
Operating profit €10.0m €10.1m -0.7%
Operating margin 8.9% 9.9%
DCC Healthcare achieved strong revenue growth. However, changes in the revenue
mix, certain product shortages and investment in developing activities caused a
reduction in the operating margin.
Acute and community care activities generated good revenue growth, particularly
in pharmaceutical products and related devices in Ireland and Britain. DCC's
Irish pharmaceutical compounding facility performed well and recently won the
national contract for paediatric nutrition.
DCC Nutraceuticals, which provides contract services to the health and beauty
sector, achieved strong revenue and profit growth.
Continued strong revenue growth is expected in the second half and improved
margins should result in good profit growth for the full financial year in DCC
Healthcare.
DCC Food & Beverage
-------------------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Revenue €136.5m €139.7m - 2.3%
Operating profit €7.3m €7.4m - 1.4%
Operating margin 5.4% 5.3%
DCC Food & Beverage's activities in Ireland achieved good profit growth in the
first half. However this performance was offset by very difficult trading
conditions in the UK wine market.
In Ireland good growth was achieved in snackfoods, confectionery, soft drinks,
logistics (frozen and chilled) and healthfoods, which benefited from increased
investment in the Kelkin brand and new Kelkin product development.
In the UK, the wine market was flat, which caused a build up of stocks in that
market. This had a negative impact on the revenue and margins of Bottle Green,
DCC's British based wine subsidiary.
It is expected that continuing difficult trading conditions in the UK wine
market will impact the result for the full financial year in DCC Food &
Beverage.
DCC Environmental
-----------------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Revenue €29.1m €15.3m + 90.5%
Operating profit €4.6m €2.8m + 64.4%
Operating margin 16.0% 18.5%
DCC Environmental achieved excellent profit growth, benefiting from the
acquisition last May of a 50% shareholding in the William Tracey group
of companies ('Traceys'), which has performed ahead of expectations. Traceys is
Scotland's leading recycling and waste management business and the acquisition
achieved the dual objective of entering the British market and expanding into
the non-hazardous waste business. The acquisition, announced today, of
Wastecycle, a rapidly growing recycling and waste management company based in
Nottingham, is an important further development of DCC Environmental's business
in Britain.
DCC's Irish based environmental service subsidiaries were all recently
re-branded 'enva'. This has facilitated more effective marketing, under the enva
brand, of the licensed facilities and expertise within the business in the
provision of a broad range of environmental services in Ireland.
Accelerated profit growth is expected in DCC Environmental in the second half.
Associates
----------
2006 2005 Change on prior year
Share of associates' profit
after tax €4.7m €5.7m - 16.0%
As expected, planning delays have caused a short-term reduction in the
contribution from Manor Park Homebuilders, DCC's principal associate. These
delays, also as expected, will reduce the contribution in the second half.
However, a number of planning decisions are imminent.
Manor Park has a large landbank for housing development and has other
development projects in the pipeline from which it should earn substantial
profits in the future.
