INTOSOL Holdings Plc ('INTOSOL' or the 'Company')
Interim results
INTOSOL Holdings Plc, the award-winning international luxury travel company, is
pleased to announce its Interim Results for the six months ended 31 July 2019.
Chairman's Statement
INTOSOL is an award winning, luxury travel company providing bespoke and unique
holiday experiences globally. We are focussed on growing our luxury travel
experience and hotel property portfolio with a robust, low-cost and scalable
business model.
Since the beginning of the financial year, we have been delivering our strategy
of restructuring and growing the SOUL Private Collection of owned and managed
boutique hotels in South Africa, increasing margins and building our
international client base.
In the first half of the financial year, from 1 February to 31 July 2019, there
were only two months in the high season (February and March), as well as a
general stagnation in the tourism markets - despite this I am pleased to
announce that INTOSOL Holdings PLC had a profitable outcome for the period.
During the period we added new revenue streams, for example marketing of events
and incentive travel, which helped enhance our gross margin. Furthermore, the
traditional travel design business achieved a better gross margin through
selling additional experiences to customers during their travels. The SOUL
Private Collection experienced strong high season months (two of which fell
within the reporting period) with a significant increase in short-term
bookings.
On 29 May 2019, the Company announced it had satisfied the payment of the first
tranche of EUR367,348.28 of the total consideration of EUR1,967,348.28, through the
issue of 938,735 new ordinary shares in the Company to Van Zuijlekom Afrika
Trust (the seller) in accordance with the Agreement for the purchase of Oceans
Wilderness ('Oceans'), its flagship nine-bedroom boutique hotel located in the
Garden Route in South Africa (www.oceanswilderness.co.za).
Simultaneously, a significant cost reduction took place in both operational
companies in Germany and South Africa, which brought the operational side of
the business to greater efficiency in management structures and better cost
control. The cost reduction was achieved through a reorganisation of the
marketing department and the implementation of a more efficient marketing
strategy including strong reduction of marketing costs as well as a slight
reduction of personnel costs throughout the company. I am pleased to report
that following the listing phase with its associated extraordinary costs the
Company has returned to profitability.
INTOSOL Holdings PLC remains focused on building a global lifestyle experience
company that merges private travel and unique experiences with hotel
ownership. Our growth strategy is underpinned by strong market fundamentals
for high-end tourism, with research showing, that luxury travel is growing
twice as fast as the overall market. With a portfolio of high-end, boutique
hotels, we are well positioned to take advantage of this.
Finally, I would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and
we were pleased to receive further equity from our base of existing
shareholders. I am looking forward to providing updates on our progress to
accomplish our strategic goals.
