Oeneo's consolidated statements for financial year 2018-2019 ended March 31, 2019 were approved by its Board of Directors on June 12, 2019. The application of IFRS 15 did not have any material impact. The consolidated financial statements have been audited in full. The auditors' report will be published once the procedures required for the publication of the annual financial report have been completed.
Oeneo Group delivered a solid operating performance in financial year 2018-2019, in line with its expectations, reaping the first rewards of the cost optimization measures rapidly implemented to withstand the impact of the substantial increase in raw materials prices (cork and wood).
Annual turnover rose 7.9% to €268.2 million (up 5.5% at constant scope and exchange rates). This substantial increase was driven by persistently strong momentum in the Closures division and robust activity in the Winemaking division, bolstered by the contributions of Tonnellerie Millet and Etablissements Cenci, which were acquired early in the year.
Recurring operating profit came in at €40.5 million, bringing the recurring operating margin to 15.1%, in line with the Group's expectations. The recurring operating margin reached 16.2% in the second half as a result of the measures taken to increase sale prices, optimize production costs and reduce central costs to adapt to the sharp increase in raw materials prices.
Thanks to lower non-recurring expenses, the Group's operating profit came in at €38.7 million. After €1.0 million in financial expenses (down since the prior period) and €10.4 million in tax expense, net profit from continuing operations amounted to €27.3 million.
Discontinued operations, which will be abandoned definitively in 2019, reduced their net losses to €2.0 million (including just €0.5 million in the second half). Consolidated net profit, Group share, came in at €25.4 million, down 4.7%.
Shareholders' equity rose to €256.4 million. Cash flow from operating activities came to €7.1 million, offset by a strong increase in working capital of €36.2 million due to a preventive reinforcement of inventories in both divisions, to the consolidation of acquisitions carried out during the year and to a strong seasonal effect in the second half for the Winemaking division. The year's net investments were contained at €15.4 million, of which €4.2 million of external growth transactions. Net debt came to €60.2 million, representing a low gearing ratio of 23.5%.
The Group will recommend the payment of a dividend of €0.15 per share at its next Annual General Meeting with the option of payment in cash or in new shares.
The Group has made a confident start to 2019-2020 confirming its strong growth potential in both divisions. The measures taken will continue to contribute to improving Oeneo's recurring operating margin.
Performance review by division
CLOSURES: Recurring operating margin recovers in the second half to almost 19%
Oeneo's Closures division enjoyed another year of growth as turnover climbed 7.8%. The performance was once again driven by the worldwide success of Diam closures, which benefit from favorable volume, price and mix effects. The Group sold some 2.3 billion closures over the year, all types combined.
The sharp increase in the price of cork, which lasted throughout the year, had a €20 million knock-on effect on recurring operating profit. Opticork, the cost optimization plan, and price increases contributed to the achievement of €28.9 million in recurring operating profit with a recurring operating margin of 16.4%, down four points. After hitting a low of 13.9% in the first half, the recurring operating margin made an impressive recovery in the second half, reaching 18.6%.
In 2019-2020, the division intends to continue increasing its market share and to deliver another year of growth. The Group will also continue its structural measures with a view to gradually restoring its margins to historic levels in a cork market that has not yet shown the first signs of easing.
WINEMAKING: Recurring operating margin of 15.6%
The Winemaking division reported growth of 7.9%, of which 1.0% at constant scope and exchange rates. The division consolidated its position in France and abroad by continuing to focus on high-end market segments.
The Group's recurring operating profit came in at €14.4 million, resulting in a recurring operating margin of 15.6%. The anticipated dilutive contribution of the year's acquisitions was amplified by a substantial increase in wood prices, which also impacted the division's historic business. The figures also reflect low business levels in the first half, impacting annual productivity. Efforts to streamline activities and generate synergies, primarily with the recent acquisitions, bode well for the year to come.
In 2019-2020, the division intends to continue its growth momentum and progressively move towards its turnover target of €100 million. An emphasis will be put on increased sales prices and achieving greater profitability by optimizing productivity.
Oeneo Group will publish its turnover for the
first quarter of 2019?2020
on July 24, 2019 after the markets have closed.
