Uvenco UK plc ("the Company" or "the Group")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2016
Uvenco UK plc today announces its unaudited interim results for
the six months ended 30 September 2016.
Chairman's statement
I have pleasure in presenting the unaudited results of Uvenco UK
plc for the six months ended 30 September 2016. Our full year
results to 31 March 2016 were published only six weeks ago
underlining the continuing improvement in the Group's financial
controls and reporting systems.
For the first time in the last five years our Earnings per share
(EPS) are positive.
Our EBITDA for the last two audited years was negative while for
this six months it is GBP280,402 showing the significant progress
made in the turnaround of the Group.
It should also be noted that the H1 comparative results to 30
September 2015 did not reflect the substantial write-downs reported
recently in the full year accounts to 31 March 2016 and as a result
do not reflect the underlying operating profit improvement that is
currently being experienced. However, these six months results do
reflect this more rigorous accounting treatment.
Financial Highlights
- Turnover decreased by 6.7% to GBP7,453,785 (H1 2016: GBP7,984,874)
- Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
decreased 27.3% to GBP280,402 (H1 2016: GBP385,901)
- Profit for the period increased to GBP1,095,030 (H1 2016: loss
of GBP688,670) due to an exceptional one off profit from the write
off of loans (see Note 8)
- Net cash outflow from operating activities improved to
GBP46,085 (H1 2016: outflow of GBP568,302)
- Overall gross borrowings reduced by 66.7% to GBP1,440,060 (H1 2016: GBP4,324,865)
- Earnings per share increased from a loss of 8.1p per share to a profit of 1.5p per share
Re-financing
On 12 August 2016, the Group bought itself out of its indebted
position with its lending bank. The Company owed the bank
approximately GBP2.5m which it settled in full for GBP1m which it
borrowed from Reward Corporate Finance Ltd ('Reward'). Total Group
borrowing now comprises the GBP1.3m facility from Reward. It is the
Group's intention now to re-finance this borrowing as soon as it is
able at a lower rate of interest than it is currently paying,
following the end of the three month minimum period of the
agreement with Reward.
The Group also intends to borrow additional GBP450,000 to bring
its working capital to the normal level.
Name Change
On 31 May 2016 the Company announced the name change of
Snacktime plc to Uvenco UK plc (AIM ticker: UVEN).
Operations and Strategy
The business has continued undergoing a profound period of
change.
We have introduced KPIs and a quarterly bonus scheme for the
Depot Managers and Regional Sales Managers.
New prices have been negotiated with most major suppliers, which
with effect from the middle of September, will result in an
increase in the overall gross margin for the majority of the snack
products. We have started testing the personalised delivery of
stock directly to our operators and merchandisers,.
We have already increased the door prices for our free standing
hot beverage machines and we now review the snacks prices in the
Public segment.
We have already increased the door prices for our free standing
hot beverage machines and we now plan a 7% to 10% increase for the
snacks in Public as well as for our cup charges and other invoices
to the customers.
A closer look is also being undertaken into our engineering team
regarding the levels of stock of spares in their vans in order to
increase their main KPI - fixing the machines during the first
visit.
Change of financial year end
The Group is proposing to change its financial year end from 31
March to 31 December with effect from 31 December 2016. The current
financial period will therefore be shortened by three months to 31
December 2016, following which the Company will announce half
yearly unaudited results to 30 June 2017 with comparable figures
for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016. The reason for the change is
to coincide the Group's financial year end with that of Uvenco
Russia.
Current Trading & prospects
We remain focused on delivering consistent quality products
while managing costs, from "clean, full and working" machines,
whenever a purchase is desired. We will continue investing into new
state of the art machines in order to start growing the revenue.
This has already been reflected in the growth of our free on loan
estate as well as the coinage receipts compared to the equivalent
prior year period.

UVENCO UK PLC
NOTES TO THE interim FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
period ended 30 September 2016
1. General Information
Uvenco UK plc is a public limited company incorporated in
England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 (registered number
06135746). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its
registered address is 17 Rufus Business Centre, Ravensbury Terrace,
London, SW18 4RL. The Company's shares are traded on the AIM market
of the London Stock Exchange.
The principal activities of the Group is the sale and operation
of hot drink and snack vending machines, the operation of free on
loan vending machines via a franchise division and the production
and supply of "in-cup" drinks and associated equipment.
2. Basis of accounting
These interim financial statements for the period ended 30
September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group financial
statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiary undertakings. The merger method of accounting has
been adopted, following a group reconstruction involving Uvenco UK
plc and SnackTime UK Limited. The acquisition of Snack in a Box
Limited was accounted for using acquisition accounting in
accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". The acquisition of
Vendia UK Limited was accounted for using acquisition accounting in
accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations".
All companies in the Group use sterling as presentational and
functional currency.
The information presented within these interim financial
statements is in compliance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. This requires the use of certain accounting estimates
and requires that management exercise judgement in the process of
applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a
high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where the
assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim financial
statements are disclosed below.
SnackTime UK Limited has elected not to apply IFRS 3, Business
Combinations retrospectively to past business combinations prior to
the date of transition.
The financial information contained in this report, which has
not been audited, does not constitute statutory accounts as defined
by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company's statutory
financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2016, prepared
under IFRS have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning
the future. The principal areas where judgement was exercised is as
follows:
- Property, plant and equipment includes the value of the
vending machine estate. The Directors annually assess both the
residual value of these assets and the expected useful life of such
assets.
- The Directors have estimated the useful economic lives of
intangible assets. The economic lives and the amortisation rates
are reviewed annually by the directors.
- The Group receives branding fees to contribute to the
installation and refurbishment of vending machines. The Directors
are required to assess the amounts receivable at each reporting
date and whether all the conditions have been met to enable these
to be recognised.
- Sales from vending machines are recognised at the point of
sale to the customer. At each year end, the Directors are required
to make an estimate of sales where the vending machine has not been
emptied or inspected at the year-end date.
4. REVENUE
Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of
consideration received or receivable by the group for goods and
services supplied, excluding VAT and trade discounts. Revenue for
goods sold from vending machines is recognised at the date of sale.
Revenue in respect of installation and refurbishment of branded
vending machines is recognised at the date of installation or
refurbishment. Franchising fees are recognised when the franchisee
starts trading. Managed estate sales are recognised in full once
the customer has taken over operation of the machine.
5. Loss/EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of profit for the
period after tax, divided by the weighted average number of shares
in issue for the period ended 30 September 2016 of 74,597,452 (H1
2015 - 32,843,003).
6. segment information
The Group has three main reportable segments:
- Specialist drinks - The manufacture and sale of single portion
beverages called 'Drinkpacs' together with the sale of associated
food and drink products.
- Franchising - The marketing and franchising of operations in
the provision of snack solutions.
- Vending - Vending activities.
Factors that management used to identify the Group's reportable
segments
The Group's reportable segments are strategic business units
that offer different products and services. They are managed
separately because each business requires different technology and
marketing strategies.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and
liabilities
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies.
The Group evaluates performance on the basis of profit or loss
from operations but excluding non-recurring profits/losses, such as
goodwill impairment, and the effects of share-based payments.
Inter-segment sales are priced on the same basis as sales to
external customers, with an appropriate discount being applied to
encourage use of group resources at a rate acceptable to local tax
authorities. This policy was applied consistently throughout the
period.
Segment assets exclude tax assets and assets used primarily for
corporate purposes. Segment liabilities exclude tax liabilities.
Loans and borrowings are allocated to the segments based on
relevant factors (e.g. funding requirements). Details are provided
in the reconciliation from segment assets and liabilities to the
group position.
