CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half year ended 31st October 2020

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The pre-tax profit for the Group for the six month period ending 31st October 2020 was GBP5.8 million (2019 GBP7.4 million) a 22% decrease on revenue of GBP62.6 million. The Group cash flow and banking headroom are in line with the Board's expectations, and the order book remains robust at GBP174 million as at 31st October 2020 but caution is needed with the Covid-19 uncertainty delaying some capital projects and the downturn in the oil and gas industry, which is now likely to be a permanent feature and so a smaller percentage of our targeted business going forwards.

Within the Refractory Engineering Division, the current activity levels are climbing to similar levels to those seen prior to the onset of Covid-19. However, we remain uncertain where we will stand after the effects of the second and possible third lock down. The Castaldo silicone rubber technology and plant that we purchased during the previous financial year has been successfully relocated from the USA to our company in Thailand, Siam Casting Powders. This plant is now installed, commissioned and producing.

Without neglecting the huge recognition due to the dedicated hard work of all Group employees, through careful management of overhead and expenditure combined with the quality of our customer base and the order book that has been built with them, the Group has suffered less than many throughout the pandemic, for which we are grateful. With the high levels of uncertainty that Covid-19 continues to subject the world to, coupled with the side effects of Brexit in the UK, there have been exceedingly challenging trading conditions, which should correct themselves with the markets we address, once normality can resume.

Alternative performance measures mentioned above are defined in note 36 on page 86 of the Group Annual accounts to 30th April 2020 .

2020/21 Outlook

With the upcoming completion of several radar systems in East Asia, the commencement of manufacturing works across our nuclear contracts and, hopefully, an improving Refractory Engineering Division performance, we expect the second half year pre-tax profits to be similar, if not improving on, the first half of this financial year.

Despite conditions remaining tough for our foundry, which is still transitioning away from its historic baseload of petrochemical related work, it is well placed to benefit from the upcoming increase in military expenditure and nuclear related casting requirements as its precision heavy castings niche skillset will be required. However, like all projects within this industry, a significant amount of time is required until the design and procurement of components can occur and value can be realised. Armed with the baseload of casting nuclear waste boxes we believe that going forward it will be able to build its way back to sustainable profitability over time.

Within the Refractory Engineering Division, trading conditions remain difficult due to several market sectors being affected by lockdowns with reduced confidence in consumer spending. The short to medium term outlook will be dependent on the market recovery and consumer spending.

The Board continues to manage working capital and expenditure to maintain a modest level of gearing. Prior to the end of this current financial year, we will be repaying the Bank of England CCFF loan that we took out as an insurance policy against global financial trauma caused by Covid-19.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Group, mainly through its centralised management structure, makes best endeavours to have in place internal control procedures to identify and manage the key risks and uncertainties affecting the Group. We would refer you to pages 11 to 13 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2020 which describe the principal risks and uncertainties, and to note 28 (starting on page 75) which describes in detail the key financial risks and uncertainties affecting the business such as credit risk and foreign exchange risk.

Judging the future relationship of the major currency pairs of the US Dollar, Sterling and the Euro continues to be a challenge.

Report on Expected Developments

This report describes the expected developments of the Group during the year ended 30th April 2021 . The report may contain forward-looking statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, financial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. Many of these factors are outside the Group's control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.

Going concern

The Group continues to trade profitably and with the current order book level we are confident that this will continue and improve, especially as we move in to the next financial year, dependent, in the main, on Covid-19 related resolutions as discussed elsewhere in the accounts. As in previous periods, the levels of depreciation and amortisation (both non cash items) remain significant thus masking the true cash generating capability of the Group. As at 31st October 2020 , the Group net debt stood at GBP31.1 million (31st Oct 2019 GBP27.2 million) as set out in note 10 to these accounts. Whilst the net debt levels are higher than those recorded as at April 2020 and October 2019 the gearing level at 29.8% is still modest and our banking headroom (facilities versus utilisation) is significant. Furthermore, within the second half of this financial year we would expect to significantly reduce our investment in working capital. Given the foregoing, the Directors do not see an issue with the continued ability of the Group to meet its financial commitments and so have drawn up these accounts on a going concern basis.

Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the half-yearly financial report

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that 1) this condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and that 2) the Interim Management Report and condensed financial statements include a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R (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 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the 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

to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

   1.         Reporting entity 

Goodwin PLC (the "Company") is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31st October 2020 comprise the Company, its subsidiaries, and the Group's interests in associates (together referred to as the "Group").

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2020 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR or via the Company's web site: www.goodwin.co.uk.

   2.         Statement of compliance 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted in the EU. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2020.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th April 2020 are extracts and not the full Group'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.

The Audit Committee has reviewed these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has advised the Board of Directors that, taken as a whole, they are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's half year performance. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 16(TH) December 2020.

   3.         Significant accounting policies 

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2020. The changes in accounting policies are to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 30th April 2021.

The following standards and amendments became effective and therefore were adopted by the Group.

-- Amendments to IFRS 3 - Definition of a business (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2020)

-- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of material (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2020)

-- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2020)

The Group has considered the impact on profit, earnings per share and net assets in future periods, of the other new standards and interpretations referred to above, and none of the above standards or interpretations is expected to have a material impact.

New IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted

The IASB and IFRIC have issued additional standards and amendments which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements. The following standards and amendments have not yet been adopted by the Group:

-- Amendments to IFRS 16 - Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st June 2020)

-- Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2000 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022)

-- Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022)

   4.         Accounting estimates and judgements 

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2020.

The tax charge in the period is based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period, and the impact of any disallowed costs.

   5.         Operating Segments 

Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" the Group's reportable segments based on information reported to the Group's Board of Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance are as follows:

   --              Mechanical Engineering      - casting, machining and general engineering 
   --              Refractory Engineering        - powder manufacture and mineral processing

The forward exchange contract assets and liabilities fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as defined by IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below.

IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
