Revenue for the six months ended 31st December 2017 was £279.5m, compared with an adjusted restated £238.1m for the corresponding period last year, an increase of 17%, with an underlying growth of 20% at constant exchange rates. Geographically, there was revenue growth in all regions as illustrated above.

 

Adjusted profit before tax for the first half year increased by 73% to £62.3m, compared with an adjusted restated £36.1m last year.  Statutory profit before tax for the first half year was £66.2m, compared with a restated £25.3m last year. Adjusted earnings per share were 72.7p, compared with 41.4p last year. Statutory earnings per share were 77.0p, compared with 29.4p last year.

 

 

Metrology

Revenue from our metrology business for the first six months was £264.3m, compared with £224.6m last year. Adjusted operating profit was £63.2m, compared with £42.0m for the comparable period last year.

 

There has been growth in all metrology products lines, with particularly strong growth in our additive manufacturing and measurement and automation products lines.

 

During the first half of the year, our additive manufacturing products line introduced the RenAM 500Q four laser additive manufacturing system, InfiniAM Spectral software for AM process monitoring and InfiniAM Central software for remote monitoring of AM builds. The RenAM 500Q significantly improves the productivity of the most commonly used machine platform size. The machine tool products line launched an enhanced version of the NC4 non-contact tool setting system and the encoder products line launched the RESOLUTETM FS (functional safety) encoder.

 

Healthcare

Revenue from our healthcare business for the first six months was £15.2m, compared with £13.5m last year with an adjusted operating loss of £1.9m, compared with a loss of £6.0m for the comparable period last year.

 

We have experienced growth in our spectroscopy and neurological products lines. Revenue in the neurological products line has benefited from an increase in sales of devices for clinical trials.

 

We are expecting good growth in the second half of the financial year with a further reduction in losses anticipated.

 

Continued investment for long-term growth

We continue our long-standing commitment to investment in research and development, and net engineering expenditure increased by 7% to £39.1m, compared with £36.4m last year.

 

 

 

Capital expenditure for the first half year was £16.1m. Expenditure on property totalled £2.4m, including the acquisition and refurbishment of a property for our R&D facility in Exeter. Expenditure on plant and equipment was £7.8m, and we continued to expand our manufacturing facilities, mainly in the UK, and continued to invest in our global IT and distribution infrastructure.

 

Working capital

Net cash balances at 31st December 2017 were £69.1m, compared with £14.0m at 31st December 2016 and £51.9m at 30th June 2017. 

 

During the first half of the year, certain forward contracts used for cash flow hedging, which did not qualify for hedge accounting under International Accounting Standard IAS39, have been restructured with the respective banks. Each agreement now contains a forward contract that qualifies for hedge accounting.

 

Inventory balances at 31st December 2017 were £99.1m, an increase of £11.4m compared with 30th June 2017. The increase arises due to increased trading levels and expected future demand, particularly in our additive manufacturing products line.

 

Directors and employees

As announced yesterday, I will be handing over my role as Chief Executive to William Lee, currently Group Sales and Marketing Director, with effect from 1st February 2018. I will remain Executive Chairman with responsibility for group innovation and product strategy.

 

The workforce at the end of December 2017 was 4,584, an increase of 54 since June 2017. Included in the net increase were 87 graduates and apprentices. The directors thank employees for their valued support and contribution as the Group continues to develop and expand.

 

Outlook

Notwithstanding current economic uncertainties, the Board remains confident in the future prospects of the Group. We continue to anticipate growth in both revenue and profit in this financial year and expect full year revenue to be in the range of £575m to £605m and adjusted profit before tax to be in the range of £127m to £147m. Statutory profit before tax is expected to be in the range of £136m to £156m.

 

Dividend

The Board has approved an interim dividend of 14.0 pence net per share which will be paid on 9th April 2018 to shareholders on the register on 9th March 2018.

 

Investor Day

An investor day is being held on 10th May 2018 and registration details will be published in due course.

Footnote 

 

*Previous year interim figures have been restated for the following:

Certain foreign currency forward contracts used as hedging instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting as they did not meet the hedge effectiveness criteria set out in the International Accounting Standard IAS39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. To ensure technical compliance with this standard it has been deemed necessary to restate the 2017 interim financial statements resulting in a £10.9 net reduction to the profit before tax for that period and an increase in other comprehensive income by the same amount.

In June 2017, after an extensive review of the spatial measurements business, the Board decided to discontinue this line of business. This business has been accounted for as a discontinued activity, with comparative figures for the previous year being restated accordingly. See note 12 for further details.

 

1Note 13, 'Alternative performance measures', defines how adjusted profit before tax and earnings per share are calculated.

Responsibility statement

 

The condensed set of financial statements is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

 

•               As required by DTR 4.2 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, the condensed set of financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole. The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the EU endorsed standard IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'.

 

•               The Interim report includes a fair review of the information required by:

 

(a)      DTR 4.2.7 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

 

(b)      DTR 4.2.8 of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could do so.

Notes

 

1.      Status of Interim report and accounting policies

 

The Interim report, which has not been audited, was approved by the directors on 25th January 2018.

 

General information

The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the EU endorsed standard IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. This interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies adopted in the most recent annual financial statements, these being for the year ended 30th June 2017, as revised for the implementation of specified new amended endorsed standards or interpretations.

 

Given the nature of some forward-looking information included in this report, which the directors have given in good faith, this information should be treated with due caution. The Interim report is available on our website www.renishaw.com.

 

The interim financial information for the six months to 31st December 2017 and the comparative figures for the six months to 31st December 2016 are unaudited. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th June 2017 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006, relating to the accounting records of the Company.

 

Going concern

The Group has considerable financial resources at its disposal and the directors have considered the current financial projections. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully.

 

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Interim report.

 

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied and significant estimates used by the Group in this Interim report are the same as those applied by the Group for the year ended 30th June 2017. Note, IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, has not yet been applied. The introduction of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the results of the Group due to the relatively straightforward contractual terms and conditions with customers. An assessment of the impact will be concluded in the second half of the financial year and the outcome will be included in the 2018 Annual Report.

 

 

2.      Segmental information

 

Renishaw's business is metrology, the science of measurement. The Group manages its business in two business segments, Metrology, being the traditional core business, and Healthcare.

 

Our products / Metrology

Our metrology products help manufacturers to maximise production output, significantly reduce the time taken to produce and inspect components, and keep their machines running reliably.

The ordinary shares are the only class of share in the Company. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company and receive dividends as declared. The Articles of Association of the Company do not contain any restrictions on the transfer of shares nor on voting rights.

 

Currency translation reserve

The currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign operations, offset by foreign exchange differences on bank liabilities which have been accounted for directly in equity on account of them being classified as hedging items. The policy to hedge net overseas assets was ended in December 2017. Future movements in the currency translation reserve will therefore arise only from translation of financial statements of foreign operations.

 

Cash flow hedging reserve

The cash flow hedging reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the valuation of forward exchange contracts which are effective hedges and mature after the period end. These are valued on a mark-to-market basis, are accounted for directly in equity and are recycled through the Consolidated income statement when the hedged item affects the Consolidated income statement. The forward contracts mature over the next three and a half years.

11.    Employee benefits

 

The Group operates a number of pension schemes throughout the world. The major scheme, which covers the UK-based employees, was of the defined benefit type. This scheme, along with the Ireland and USA defined benefit schemes, has ceased any future accrual for current members and all these schemes are now closed to new members. UK, Ireland and USA employees are now covered by defined contribution schemes.

The latest full actuarial valuation of the UK defined benefit scheme was carried out at September 2015 and updated to 31st December 2017 by a qualified independent actuary. The major assumptions used by the actuary were:

An agreement has been entered into with the trustees of the UK defined benefit pension scheme in relation to deficit funding plans which supersede the previous arrangements. 

The Company has agreed to pay all monthly pensions payments and lump sum payments, and transfer payments up to a limit of £1,000,000 in each year (Benefits in Payment).

A number of UK properties owned by the Company are subject to registered fixed charges. One or more of the properties may be released from the fixed charge if on a subsequent valuation, the value of all properties under charge exceed 120% of the deficit.

The Company has also established an escrow bank account, which is subject to a registered floating charge. The balance of this account was £12,877,000 at the end of the period (December 2016: £15,317,000). The funds are being released back to the Company from the escrow account over a period of 6 years, which commenced in June 2017.

The agreement continues until 30th June 2031, but may end sooner if the deficit (calculated on a self-sufficiency basis as defined in the agreement) is eliminated in the meantime. At 30th June 2031 the Company is obliged to pay any deficit at that time. All properties will be released from charge when the deficit no longer exists.

The charges may be enforced by the trustees if one of the following occurs: (a) the Company does not pay any Benefits in Payment; (b) an insolvency event occurs in relation to the Company; or (c) the Company does not pay any deficit at 30th June 2031.

Under the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme deficit funding plan, a property owned by Renishaw (Ireland) Limited is subject to a registered fixed charge to secure the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme's deficit.

No scheme assets are invested in the Group's own equity.

The Company has given a guarantee relating to recovery plans for the UK defined benefit pension scheme. The value of the guarantee is greater than the value of the pension scheme's deficit. As such, in line with IFRIC 14, the UK defined benefit pension scheme's liabilities have been increased by £19,500,000, to represent the maximum discounted liability as at 31st December 2017 (2016: £7,800,000).

 

12.    Restatement of previous first half year

 

The previous first half year's results have been restated for the following:

Certain foreign currency forward contracts used as hedging instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting as they did not meet the hedge effectiveness criteria set out in the International Accounting Standard IAS39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. To ensure technical compliance with this standard it has been deemed necessary to restate the 2017 interim financial statements resulting in a £10.9 reduction to the profit before tax for that year and a corresponding increase in other comprehensive income.

In June 2017, after an extensive review of the spatial measurements business, the Board decided to discontinue this line of business. The business has therefore been accounted for as a discontinued activity, with comparative figures for the previous year being restated accordingly.

The R&D tax credit, previously accounted for within administration expenses has been reclassified to be part of cost of sales.

Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit - These measures are defined as the profit before tax, earnings per share and operating profit after excluding gains and losses in fair value from forward currency contracts which did not qualify for hedge accounting.

 

The gains and losses from fair value of financial instruments not effective for cash flow hedging have been excluded from statutory profit before tax, statutory earnings per share and statutory operating profit in arriving at adjusted profit before tax, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating profit to reflect the Board's intent that the instruments would provide effective hedges.

 

The Board consider these alternative performance measures to be more relevant and reliable in evaluating the Group's performance.

 

The amounts shown below as reported in revenue represent the amount by which revenue would change had all the derivatives qualified as eligible for hedge accounting.

15.    Related party transactions

The only related party transactions which have taken place during the first half year were normal business transactions between the Group, its associates and joint ventures, which have not had a material effect on the results of the Group for this period.

 

 

16.    Principal risks and uncertainties

 

As reported in the 2017 Annual report, the business implications of Brexit remain uncertain and any risks arising will be a key focus area for the Board and it's committees for the foreseeable future.  Currency fluctuations, trading  arrangements, employment issues, research and development project funding and other risks that become apparent over time are under review by the Board and mitigations are being put in place where possible.

 

Area of risk

Description

Potential impact

       Mitigation

 

 

 

 

Current trading levels and order book

 

Revenue growth is unpredictable and orders from customers generally involve short lead-times with the outstanding order book at any time being around one month's worth of revenue value.

 

Global market conditions continue to highlight risks to growth and demand which can lead to fluctuating levels of revenue.

 

Whilst global investment in production systems and processes is expected to expand, future growth is difficult to predict, especially with such a short-term order book. This limited forward order visibility leaves the annual revenue and profits forecasts uncertain.

The Group is expanding and diversifying its product range in order to maintain a world-leading position in its sales of metrology products. Investment in sales and marketing resources continues in order to support the breadth of the product range.

 

The Group is applying its measurement expertise to grow its healthcare and additive manufacturing business activities.

 

The Group retains a strong balance sheet and has the ability to flex manufacturing resource levels and shift patterns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Research and development

The development of new products and processes involves risk, such as development timescales, meeting the required technical specification and the impact of alternative technology developments.

Being at the leading edge of new technology in metrology and healthcare, there are uncertainties whether new developments will provide an economic return.

Patent and intellectual property generation is core to new product developments.

 

R&D programmes are regularly reviewed against milestones and, when necessary, projects are cancelled.

 

Medium to long-term R&D strategies are monitored regularly by both the Board and Executive Board, including reviews of the allocation of R&D resource to key projects.

 

Product development processes around the Group are reviewed and aligned where possible to provide consistency and efficiency.

 

New products involve beta testing at customers to ensure they will meet the needs of the market.

 

Market developments are closely monitored and customer requirements regularly reviewed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supply chain management

Customer deliveries may be threatened by either an external or internal failure in the supply chain.

Inability to meet customer deliveries could result in loss of revenue and profit.

Production facilities are maintained with fire and flood risk in mind.

 

Critical production processes are replicated at different locations where practical.

 

The Group is highly vertically integrated, providing increased control over many aspects of the supply chain.

 

Ability to flex manufacturing resource levels and shift patterns.

 

Regular vendor reviews are performed for critical part suppliers.

 

Stock policies are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis.

 

Product quality is closely monitored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regulatory legislation for healthcare products

The expansion of the Group's business into the healthcare markets involves a significantly increased requirement to obtain regulatory approval prior to the sale of these products.

Regulatory approval can be very expensive and time-consuming. This area is also very complex and there is a risk that the correct approvals are not obtained.

Specialist legal and regulatory staff support the healthcare business.

 

Experience of healthcare regulatory matters at board level.

 

Healthcare operations in UK and France have ISO13485 certification for their quality management systems, with Ireland and other subsidiary healthcare operations falling under the UK quality management system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Defined benefit pension schemes

Investment returns and actuarial valuations of the defined benefit pension fund liabilities are subject to economic and social factors which are outside of the control of the Group.

Volatility in investment returns and actuarial assumptions can significantly affect the defined benefit pension fund deficit, impacting on future funding requirements.

The investment strategy is managed by the pension fund trustees who operate in line with a statement of investment principles and take appropriate independent professional advice when necessary.

 

A new recovery plan was agreed in June 2016 for the 2015 actuarial valuation based on funding to self-sufficiency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exchange rate fluctuations

Fluctuating foreign exchange rates may affect the results of the Group.

With 95% of revenue generated outside of the UK, there is an exposure to major currency fluctuations, mainly in respect of the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. Such fluctuations could adversely impact the results of the Group, and in particular the income statement.

The Group enters into forward contracts in order to hedge varying proportions of forecast US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen revenue and other currencies from time to time.

 

Monthly board review of currency rates and hedging position.

 

Note that the balance sheet hedging policy ceased in December 2017 as the Board now consider the balance sheet impact of currency movements to be low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cyber security threats

For the Group to operate effectively it requires continuous access to timely and reliable information at all times. We seek to ensure continuous availability, security and operation of information systems. Cyber threats continue to increase.

Reduced service to customers due to a lack of reliable management information putting the Group at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Delay or impact on decision making through lack of availability of sound data or disruption in/denial of services.

 

Loss of commercially sensitive and/or personal information leading to implications including reputational damage, claims or fines.

 

Theft of commercial or sensitive information/data or fraud causing loss or disruption.

There is substantial resilience and back up built into group systems.

 

Cyber risks and security is a regular topic for board discussions.

 

Internal penetration testing is utilised on an appropriates basis.

 

The Group operates central IT policies in all aspects of information security.

 

Regular monitoring of all group systems takes place with regular reporting and analysis.

 

Operating systems are continuously updated and refreshed in line with current threats.

 

The Group employs a number of physical, logical and control measures to protect its information and systems.

 

E-learning courses covering certain cyber threats were rolled out to all employees group wide during calendar year 2017 as well as management training.
