Material issues

BackgroundBased on the Group’s approach to managing a sustainable business, its strategic objectives, stakeholder engagement and risk management, the Group has identified material risks or issues that could potentially affect the business. The Group Risk Committee is responsible for the overall monitoring, assessing and mitigating of risks within Super Group. In addition, the Group ensures that sufficient insurance is in place.

The risk categoriesSuper Group classifies the risks that have a material impact on the Group into six strategic categories: Strategic, Human Resources, Financial, Operational, Compliance and IT.

The risk categories can be described as follows:

The risk identification processEach division is responsible for identifying, assessing and recording risks and monitoring procedures aimed at mitigating them. The Group Audit and Risk Officer facilitates risk sessions with each division and ensures that the risks identified have been correctly assessed. Risks are assessed based on the potential impact on the business, financial position and reputation. A scale of 1 to 5 is used where 1 is “Minor” and 5 “Catastrophic”. Risks are also assessed on the likelihood of the risk occurring after taking into account controls in place to mitigate them. A scale of 1 to 5 is used, where 1 is “Rare” and 5 is “Almost certain”. A risk rated 5 means the controls in place will not prevent the risk from occurring due to factors outside the Group’s control.

The GRMC sets out the risk policy detailing the objectives, scope, approach and roles and responsibilities. The GRMC meets three times a year and is chaired by a non-executive director. The membership of this committee comprises two non-executive directors, the CEO and CFO. The Group Audit and Risk Officer, the Group Legal Manager and the CIO are invited to the meeting.

The Board reviews the list of strategic and critical risks regularly as required by King III and also approves the risk tolerance of the Group.

StrategicThe Strategic risks consider the brand and reputation of the Group, the Group’s strategy, initiatives, communication and investor relations.

Human Resources

The Human Resources risks are associated with capacity requirements, employment of skills, compensation and benefits as well as the culture of the organisation.

FinancialThe Financial risks pertain to the accounting, reporting structures and tax of the Group.

OperationalOperational risks are associated with sales and marketing, customer service, production and delivery.

ComplianceCompliance risks are those that consider the adherence to and compliance with governance, legal and regulatory issues.

ITIT risks contemplate the application development, availability, continuity and the data integrity of the Group’s IT systems

Management and mitigation of major risks to the Group Risk

Context

Mitigating factors

Multinational relationships and a highly competitive local market hinder growth in Supply Chain

Multinational companies operating in South Africa use suppliers of services who are contracted on a global basis.

Continuous focus on customer service and service delivery at all levels.

The continual requirement from customers to cut costs.

Expanding the competitive product offerings to the market.Acquisition of businesses operating in targeted areas of the market that complement the Group’s existing offerings.

African socio-economic environment, including commodity cycles

Understanding the commodity and capital investment cycles.

Management in Zimbabwe closely monitors trends and cycles.Drive costs and revenue initiatives to support the achievement of financial targets.

Changing regulatory environment

Compliance with a wide range of regulatory requirements including licensing, consumer protection, new legislation and AARTO regulations.

The development of new revenue models.Specialist regulatory and Government relations consultants that understand the legislative and regulatory environment.The Group Company Secretary, who is also the Group’s Compliance Officer, is responsible for monitoring all changes to the legal and governance framework.

Revised B-BBEE Codes that were effective 1 May 2015

The B-BBEE Codes’ requirements in respect of procurement make the attainment of the Procurement Score very difficult in cases where a large portion of procurement is from multinationals, especially OEMs.

The Group is engaging with other companies who are similarly impacted to explore solutions to this problem.

Customer concentration

The Group faces intensive competition in all the markets in which it operates.

Continued efforts to achieve new business.

The ability to compete depends on the Group’s network, quality of service and the use of market leading technologies.

A wide range of services at competitive prices.Continued efforts to offer more value to customers.Continual development of IT-based logistics solutions to improve control and monitoring of the supply chain by its customers.

General political, economic and industry

Current economic conditions remain uncertain, different sectors of the economy are experiencing varying fortunes.

Where possible, the Group passes the cost of fuel price, toll fee and wage increases to the customers through generally accepted escalation arrangements.

Infrastructure projects in Southern Africa are not moving to the development stage as quickly as expected.

The Group maintains a conservative Balance Sheet and preserves its resources to meet the challenges of the economy and the industry.

Impact of labour unrest on the logistics industry and industries serviced by the Group.

The Group has a Human Resources function that manages labour force challenges.

Retention of critical management and skills

The skills shortage in South Africa makes it imperative for the Group to retain and develop key management and specialist skills.

The Group focuses on career development, fair reward and education and training to develop its people.The Group looks to promote from within and ensures that succession planning is implemented in all the business units.

The long-term effect of Brexit on the UK and Eurozone economies

The uncertainty regarding the Brexit vote as to the timing of implementation and the renegotiation of trade agreements between the UK and Eurozone countries.

The Group will monitor developments closely.

IntroductionThe financial year ended 30 June 2016 was characterised by strategic acquisitions to expand the Group’s international footprint as well as corporate actions to support these acquisitions and bolster the Group’s financial position. Despite challenging economic conditions locally and abroad, the Group reported a commendable performance.

The Group’s vision remains unchanged, namely to provide end-to-end supply chain solutions, fleet management and dealership services to customers in Africa, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and New Zealand and to be a leading transport logistics and mobility group in the countries in which it operates. The vision is being realised through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, helped by strong management, a healthy financial position and the cash generating ability of the Group.

Subsequent to year end, the acquisition of Fleet Hire by SG Fleet, effective 4 August 2016, and the acquisition of nine Western Cape motor dealerships and a strategic property from Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd, effective 1 September 2016, is in line with Super Group’s stated strategy.

The trading environmentThe logistics industry, globally, has experienced pricing pressures and increased competition, compounded by lacklustre economic growth and socio-political turmoil. The major global concern remains the impact of the slowdown in China as the global economy is increasingly dependent on China to deliver economic growth and, more recently, Britain’s exit from the European Union.

The performance of the South African logistics and transport industry is closely linked to the prevailing state of the economy. As a result, economic factors, including interest rates, exchange rates and inflation have a significant impact on logistics cost as does political uncertainty. In the increasingly competitive environment, the Group’s focus on cost efficiencies remains. Across the globe new technologies are finding their way into logistics services in order to improve productivity and enhance service. Super Group continues to invest in the development of innovative systems.

The logistics and automotive industries, specifically in Germany, were negatively impacted by the performance of Volkswagen, one of Germany’s largest automotive manufacturers, following the emissions scandal in the United States of America.

The South African fleet management market continues to be largely dependent on decisions by governments, parastatals and large companies to outsource the management and maintenance of their vehicle fleets. The lead times in securing these contracts are lengthy, but once secured, the contracts are long-term. The market is driven by the need for operational efficiencies. FleetAfrica has demonstrated its capabilities by securing a number of contracts and its strong B-BBEE Contributor status ensures that it is well positioned when tendering for fleet management contracts.

In Australia, the economy picked up in the first quarter of 2016 with monetary easing continuing amidst record low interest rates and inflationary pressures. Business and consumer confidence improved over the reporting period, which resulted in a stable environment. The Australian fleet management market, including the novated lease segment, has experienced good growth.

NAAMSA continues to report sharp declines in new vehicle sales, reflective of the South African consumers being under pressure.

The United Kingdom dealership market has shown consistent growth during the year under review.

Governance and sustainabilitySuper Group remains committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Board and its committees continue to play an important role in enhancing good corporate governance and reviewing sustainable practices throughout the Group to ensure that compliance with King III and Reporting Standards set by SAICA, relating to corporate governance and sustainability, are followed and monitored. Our ongoing efforts around stakeholder engagement and maintaining transparency and open communication are critical to our long-term success. Our Corporate Governance and Sustainability Reports, available on the company’s website, set out our principles and policies in more detail. The Abridged Corporate Governance Report is on pages 47 and 48 and the Abridged Sustainability Report can be found on page 56.

Board changesThere were no changes to the Board during the financial year under review.

OutlookSouth African market conditions are expected to remain challenging and competitive with many industries remaining under pressure. Despite the subdued outlook for the country, the Group’s strategy is to explore interesting investment opportunities internationally and in South Africa to maintain the Group’s position as an innovative, integrated mobility solutions company.

The Australian economy, despite falling commodity prices, a slowdown in China and deterioration in international trade, has remained stable. The Australian market looks more resilient and the Group expects growth to reflect general GDP trends and a relatively healthy consumer demand. The novated lease market is also set to show good growth in the year ahead and SG Fleet will continue to leverage its strong competitive position to create quality product offerings and strengthen its customer relationships.

There were early signs pointing to a slowdown in the German economy, following a decline in growth in Q1 2016, however, the Eurozone markets rebounded in July 2016 following the Brexit-led sell-off towards the end of June 2016. GDP growth in Germany accelerated from 1.5% in Q1 to 3.1% at end of Q2. On the global front, most equity markets are now above or at pre-Brexit levels. The impact of the Brexit vote over the long-term on the EU’s economy, however, remains uncertain.

The UK’s decision to exit the EU has fuelled economic and political uncertainty in the country as well as in the Eurozone. The timeline of the formal exit process from the EU is still unclear and the new Prime Minister, Theresa May, appears committed to invoke Article 50, which will afford the country two years to negotiate its trade, business and political links with the EU. Adding to the uncertainty the UK is facing, Scotland is considering seeking a second independence referendum as early as next year if the UK’s new government begins the formal withdrawal process without Scotland’s consent. Developments in the UK will continue to be monitored by the Group.

AppreciationThe Super Group leadership team and all of our employees can be rightly proud of their efforts in contributing to the Group’s continued success under challenging circumstances and, on behalf of the Board, I would like to extend the Board’s appreciation to all of them.

To my fellow Board members, once again, your support has been most valuable, and I thank you for your insight and the time devoted to Super Group.

Page 22: Overview of Super Groupsupergroup.co.za/...integrated_report/.../overview_of_super_group.pdf · Super Group is an integrated “mobility” business comprising three distinct divisions,

IntroductionSuper Group reported a solid set of final results for the year ended 30 June 2016. The majority of the existing businesses performed well. The results include Allen Ford’s (UK) results for the full year compared to seven months in the prior year, SG IN tIME’s (Supply Chain Europe’s) results for eight months and NLC’s, through SG Fleet, results for seven months. The final results for the Group are commendable given the continued challenges being faced by some of the Supply Chain Africa businesses, the weak Rand against all major currencies during the reporting period and the competitive business environment in the geographical locations in which the Group operates.

It has been an active year for the Group with the acquisition of a 75% equity interest in the German-based time-critical delivery services company, SG IN tIME, effective 2 November 2015, and SG Fleet’s acquisition of Australian-based NLC, effective 30 November 2015. Super Group raised R900 million to part fund the acquisition of SG IN tIME, through a Rights Offer, on 12 October 2015. In addition, the company raised R360 million through an Accelerated Bookbuild Offer on 10 December 2015 to strengthen the Group’s financial position post the acquisition of NLC by SG Fleet.

The acquisition of the interest in SG IN tIME has established a footprint for Super Group in Europe. In addition, the acquisition of NLC, through SG Fleet, has expanded SG Fleet’s novated lease business in Australia. Given that the Group’s strategy is to pursue geographic expansion within each of its three divisions, and to invest in specialised logistics niche businesses, we are confident that aforementioned criteria were well met by both these acquisitions.

As a result of the various acquisitions made over the past two years, the non-South African businesses contributed 42% and 60% to revenue and operating profit, respectively, for the year under review.

The various strategic acquisitions made during the year are referenced in more detail in the Group performance section.

Financial performanceGroup revenue increased by 30.9% to R25.9 billion (June 2015: R19.8 billion) mainly as a result of the commendable performances by FleetAfrica, SG Fleet and Dealerships as well as the inclusion of the results of Allen Ford (UK), SG IN tIME and NLC (through SG Fleet), for the periods previously mentioned.

Operating profit increased by 30.0% to R1 952 million (June 2015: R1 501 million), marginally below revenue growth, primarily despite a poor performance by SG Coal in the first half of the year.

The increase in net finance costs of 83.7% to R255 million (June 2015: R139 million) is attributable to the higher borrowings to fund the various acquisitions in Australia, Europe and the UK. The average interest rate paid on borrowings was 6.0% (June 2015: 6.7%) and the average interest rate earned on cash was 3.7% (June 2015: 4.8%).

Profit before taxation increased by 24.6% to R1 697 million (June 2015: R1 362 million). The effective tax rate increased to 25.8% (June 2015: 23.7%) as a result of the remaining historical assessed losses in South Africa being utilised and the increase in profits in territories that have higher corporate tax rates.

EPS and HEPS increased by 12.2% to 296.6 cents (June 2015: 264.4 cents) and 10.4% to 292.6 cents (June 2015: 265.0 cents), respectively. Core HEPS increased by 9.0% to 308.1 cents (June 2015: 282.6 cents). Core HEPS excludes acquisition costs, the once-off foreign exchange profit on the SG IN tIME forward foreign exchange contract, the amortisation of Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) intangibles and the B-BBEE related costs, after tax and non-controlling interests. As a result of the Rights Offer undertaken in October 2015 and the Accelerated Bookbuild Offer in December 2015, the weighted and diluted weighted number of shares in issue for the prior comparable year had to be adjusted in terms of IAS 33.28, which resulted in the June 2015 EPS, HEPS and Core HEPS having to be restated.

The increase in total assets of 49.1% to R22.8 billion (30 June 2015: R15.3 billion) is mainly as a result of the newly acquired assets of SG IN tIME and NLC during the year under review. The Group’s normalised Return on Net Operating Assets, after tax and excluding the effects of acquisitions during the period, was 15.5% (June 2015: 18.1%).

Super Group’s net debt position at 30 June 2016 increased by R993 million to R1 989 million, with R1 479 million debt attributable to SG Fleet largely for the NLC acquisition and R906 million debt attributable to the acquisition of SG IN tIME, Germany. The Rights Offer of R900 million in October 2015 was used to part fund the SG IN tIME acquisition and the Accelerated Bookbuild Offer of R360 million in December 2015 bolstered the Group’s capital structure following the acquisition of NLC by SG Fleet. The Group’s total gearing, as at 30 June 2016, was 21.4% (30 June 2015: 16.8%), having reduced from 31.9% as at 31 December 2015 as a result of the cash generated within the newly acquired businesses. The NAV per share increased by 30.7% for the year to 2 196.4 cents at 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: 1 680.5 cents).

Operating cash flow increased by 24.9% for the year to R2 652 million (June 2015: R2 123 million) mainly due to the increase in EBITDA from the acquisitions, with a working capital cash inflow of R245 million (June 2015: R102 million outflow). As a result, cash generated from operations, after working capital, increased by a pleasing 43.4% to R2 897 million (June 2015: R2 021 million).

During the year a subsidiary of the company repurchased 30 871 shares, totalling 0.01% of the issued share capital, at an average share price of R32.62. The total consideration relating to these repurchases was R1 million.

We would rather re-invest the cash generated in our operations in acquisitions or repurchase shares and as a result, no dividend for the year ended 30 June 2016 has been declared.

Divisional reviewsRevenue contributions for the year to June 2016 reflect that the Dealerships Division now generates 53% (2015: 47%) of the Group’s revenue. The revenue contributions for the Supply Chain business segment was 36% (2015: 42%) with the Fleet Solutions segment stable at 11%.

The operating profit contributions from the Dealerships and Fleet Solutions operations increased by 3% to 20% (2015: 17%) and 4% to 50% (2015: 46%), respectively. The Supply Chain business contribution declined in comparison by 7% from 37% in 2015 to 30% in 2016.

The decline in revenue and operating profit contributions for the Supply Chain Division was mainly as a result of the poor results reported by SG Coal, due to a dramatic drop in deliveries to Eskom as well as SG IN tIME’s results being impacted by the decline in Volkswagen’s parts volumes due to the challenges faced by them following the scandal.

Subsequent eventsOn 17 May 2016 Super Group announced that it has concluded an agreement with Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd (and Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz South Africa Ltd as interested parties) to acquire its nine Western Cape motor dealerships and a strategic property. This transaction was approved by the Competition Commission subsequent to year end in July 2016 and was effective 1 September 2016. Dealerships SA’s strategy is to geographically expand its dealerships within South Africa and this acquisition has made it possible.

SG Fleet announced the acquisition of Fleet Hire, a UK contract hire, salary sacrifice, short-term rental and fleet management provider, for a consideration of GBP19.6 million, effective August 2016. The acquisition provides SG Fleet with scale and profitable growth in the UK, and importantly, Fleet Hire establishes a platform for the company to build on and execute its strategic plans in this attractive market.

The JSE has granted a listing to Super Group on 9 September of its SPG002 senior unsecured notes, in terms of its DMTN Programme dated 22 October 2013. The value of the issue was R50 million, with the interest linked to the three-month JIBAR coupon rate and is payable quarterly. The maturity date of this issue is 9 September 2019.

Prospects and strategySuper Group’s position as an innovative, integrated mobility solutions company is compelling and the Group is committed to the growth of its core businesses, both organically and through strategic and focused acquisition opportunities, locally and internationally. The Group remains focused on unlocking stakeholder value and delivering sustainable earnings over the medium to long term.

Supply Chain Africa’s focus will remain in line with its stated strategy of pursuing selected opportunities in higher growth niche markets. The Group will focus strongly on retaining its existing client and customer base as well as securing new long-term contracts.

Supply Chain Europe has taken steps to mitigate the impact of the decline in the Volkswagen volumes and is exploring new business opportunities, particularly in the Southern and Eastern European environments.

FleetAfrica will continue the roll-out of the specialised fleet for the City of Tshwane and to explore and tender on new fleet management contract opportunities, both in South Africa and East Africa. Collaboration with SG Fleet in respect of product innovation and systems development could benefit this business.

SG Fleet’s focus will remain on securing meaningful contracts, both with Government and corporates. Product innovation and differentiated service propositions are being rolled out into the UK and New Zealand markets. The acquisition of Fleet Hire in the UK will give scale and a growth platform in this country.

The Dealerships SA business is anticipating difficult trading conditions to continue as consumers remain under pressure. The acquisition of the nine Western Cape dealerships expands the business’ geographical footprint and significantly improves the Group’s position across most vehicle categories.

Dealerships UK is expecting good growth in the new and second hand vehicle market in the UK. The influence of Brexit on the UK economy is still unknown and may affect the UK dealership market as all Ford vehicles are imported from Europe. At this stage we don’t expect it to have a significant impact on the Group. Allen Ford is also looking at existing and new brand expansion through the acquisition of additional dealerships.

AcknowledgementsI would like to thank all members of the Board and the Executive Committee for their guidance and support during, what has been a busy and challenging year.

To the Super Group team, thank you for your loyalty. The Group’s performance is reflective of your hard work and dedication. To our shareholders, customers, suppliers, advisers and business partners, thank you for your ongoing support.
