Review of operations

Business Review

Rotork has performed well in the six months to 30 June 2013. Order intake has continued to exceed revenue, resulting in a record half year order book of GBP208.2m, 15.1% higher than last December. Order intake was 9.4% higher than the comparative period, with Rotork Fluid Systems showing the strongest growth (20.2%). Revenue at GBP276.1m was up 12.3% and adjusted operating profit was 13.7% higher at GBP70.2m.

Across the divisions, North America and parts of Asia have performed particularly well, and this has resulted in record order intake in the first half of 2013. Project visibility remains good and quote activity in the second quarter was encouraging. Whilst activity levels remain high for Rotork Fluid Systems, ongoing weak economic conditions in certain markets have impacted Controls, our electric actuator business, with weakness in some European markets and the Indian power market being particularly affected.

We have managed our cost base effectively through the period, the higher costs associated with product introductions, product development and the investment in facilities being offset by lower material costs and operational gearing. As a result, margins were slightly ahead of the prior year.

The development of our new facility in Bath is on track and we expect to move in during September. We are also expanding our facilities in Singapore and moving to new sites in Spain, Mexico and Malaysia in the second half of the year. Our Leeds based business has experienced a delay in the development of the new site and some of the costs are now likely to fall into 2014.

The integration of Schischek, acquired in January 2013, and Soldo acquired in November 2012, is going well and both businesses have made a positive contribution in the period. We have announced two further acquisitions today. GT Attuatori Group expands our pneumatic actuator portfolio, whilst Renfro Associates Inc provides a US based valve adaption manufacturer, mirroring the service our UK based Valvekits business offers in Europe.

Rotork Site Services, our after-sales and support activity, continues to grow. Subsequent to the period-end, we also completed the small acquisition of Flowco Ltd, a UK-based valve and actuator service company, which will strengthen our presence in the water utilities market in the south of England.

Financial results

Reported revenue rose by 12.3% to GBP276.1m, which included a 2.9% (GBP7.2m) benefit from currency and a 4.2% (GBP10.4m) benefit from the acquisitions of Soldo and Schischek. Adjusted operating profit grew 5.6% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis to GBP65.2m, with the acquisitions adding a further GBP3.5m between them, and currency a benefit of GBP1.5m. This represents an OCC margin of 25.2%, a 10 basis points improvement over the same point last year. With the benefit of acquisitions and currency included, adjusted operating profit is 13.7% higher at GBP70.2m, a 25.4% margin.

The Group effective tax rate remains similar to full year 2012 at 28.0%. Adjusted basic earnings per share is 57.6p, a 13.4% increase. The higher intangible amortisation charge following the acquisition of Soldo and Schischek results in basic earnings per share of 52.8p, an increase of 10.5%.

Net cash balances of GBP41.6m were GBP18.3m lower than December 2012, with the acquisitions of Schischek (GBP34.3m) and payment of the final dividend (GBP23.1m) representing the largest outflows in the period. Net working capital increased by GBP17.3m since December 2012, a rise of 14.0%, of which GBP5.3m is currency related. Net working capital represents 26.8% of annualised revenue compared with 25.5% last year end and, given the anticipated weighting of revenue to the second half of the year, this increase is to be expected.

Operating Review

Delivery against our twin-track growth strategy is reflected in these results with the benefit of the Soldo and Schischek acquisitions supplementing the organic growth of our divisions. We continue to look for opportunities to grow both organically and by acquisition that will support our long-term strategic and financial goals.

Order intake rose by 2.3% against a strong prior year that benefited from the active unconventional gas market in Australia and shale oil and gas market in America. The lack of projects to replace the large Australian orders will have an impact on order intake in the year although revenue will benefit in the second half as product is supplied. India has remained subdued due to the lack of activity in the power sector. The USA market remains active with the UK also performing well. The order book rose 7.9% to GBP111.1m.

The new products introduced last year are gaining traction and have been well received by customers. We continue to move production from IQ2 to IQ3 as more model sizes within the IQ3 range are launched and we gain certification in more geographic markets. This transition is expected to gather pace in the second half of 2013 and the first half of 2014.

The integration of Schischek is going to plan and we are already benefiting from an increased exposure to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning market.

Rotork Fluid Systems

 
 GBPm                      H1 2013   H1 2012     Change   OCC*(2) Change 
 Revenue                      89.2      71.4     +24.9%           +21.1%

  margin                     15.9%     12.9%   +300 bps         +300 bps 
 

Following on from a very strong performance last year Fluid Systems has continued to grow at the fastest rate of all our divisions. Revenue growth was 24.9% and order intake was 20.2% ahead of the comparative period. The order book is a new high of GBP82.3m, up 23.8% from December 2012.

Most regional businesses have seen strong demand for fluid systems products with oil and gas still the dominant end-market. Europe has been very strong and has been supported by the European valve industry supplying global oil and gas infrastructure projects. The USA and Latin America markets are also positive and we are starting to make good progress in Asia, a target market for Fluid Systems.

The operating margin was 15.9%, a 300 basis points improvement on the comparable period, reflecting the benefit of operational gearing and effective material cost management.

Rotork Gears

 
 GBPm                      H1 2013   H1 2012    Change   OCC*(2) Change 
 Revenue                      27.1      25.3     +7.1%            +4.5% 
 Adjusted*(1) operating

 Adjusted operating 
  margin                     22.3%     22.0%   +30 bps          +50 bps 
 

Gears order intake was broadly flat compared with the record first half of last year but did exceed output in the period. Our sales effort remains focused on winning new customers in those parts of the world with strong domestic valvemaker industries and we have seen some success in this regard. With revenue 7.1% higher at GBP27.1m, the order book increased by 28.3% to GBP12.7m.

Our European operations performed well, with our Italian factory, where our subsea range is made, making progress and our Spanish subsidiary growing as a result of more business from a key account. Deliveries of subsea gearboxes ordered last year were one of the drivers behind the growth in revenue in Europe whilst China also saw a good improvement in revenue. We continue to invest in our sourcing and R&D teams within the division. Material costs are our largest expense and ensuring that these are controlled and, where possible reduced, remains a key focus and, in this regard, we continue to make progress in establishing our Indian supply chain. The increase in our R&D resource last year has already resulted in some new products which are helping broaden our addressable market and the coming months will see the launch of further range expansions and new developments.

Rotork Instruments

 
 GBPm                      H1 2013   H1 2012     Change   OCC*(2) Change 
 Revenue                      12.4       8.3     +48.9%           +10.4%

 Adjusted operating 
  margin                     31.4%     32.6%   -120 bps         -200 bps 
 

Order intake was weighted to the first half in Instruments last year and, against this background, Fairchild has grown 10.5% organically. Inclusive of the initial contribution from Soldo, purchased last November, total order input was 53.8% higher. As the division with the shortest lead times, the order book in Instruments is only GBP2.1m but this is a 31.8% increase since the start of the year. Soldo has been fully integrated with Fairchild in the USA and in the rest of the world the integration of the sales teams is well underway. In addition to the increased investment in sales resources, the engineering team has increased as we look to accelerate product development initiatives. These increased costs are the key factor behind the 120 basis point margin reduction as we invest for future growth. With Soldo generating 35.5% margins, the division as a whole achieved a margin of 31.4%.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group has an established risk management process as part of the corporate governance framework set out in the 2012 Annual Report & Accounts. We regularly review the principal risks and uncertainties facing our businesses and examine the potential impacts on our processes and procedures. The risk management process is described in detail on pages 30 and 31 of the 2012 Annual Report & Accounts. We identify risks in the form of strategic, operational and financial risks and set out mitigations and improvements to our processes and procedures as necessary to manage these risks. The Group has reviewed these risks and concluded that they remain applicable to the second half of the financial year. The principal risks and uncertainties are:

-- Competition on price as a result of a competitor moving to manufacture in a lower cost area of the world;

   --      Rotork not having the appropriate products, either in terms of features or costs; 
   --      Lower investment in Rotork's traditional market sectors; 

-- Major in field product failure arising from a component defect or warranty issue which might require a product recall;

   --      Failure of a key supplier or a tooling failure at a supplier causing disruption to planned manufacturing; 

-- Failure of an acquisition to deliver the growth or synergies anticipated, due to incorrect assumptions or changing market conditions, or failure to integrate an acquisition to ensure compliance with Rotork's policies and procedures;

   --      Failure of the centralised IT environment, or loss or theft of data; 
   --      Volatility of exchange rates; 
   --      Political instability in a key end-market; 
   --      Defined benefit pension scheme deficit. 

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors confirm that this condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and that the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:

-- an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months 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 financial year; and

   --      material related party transactions in the first six months and any material changes in the related-party transactions described in the last annual report. 

The Directors of Rotork plc are listed in the Rotork plc Annual Report & Accounts for 31 December 2012. A list of current directors is maintained in the About Us section of the Rotork website: www.rotork.com.

Dividend

The interim dividend is to be increased by 10.1% to 18.05p per ordinary share and will be paid on 27 September 2013 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 30 August 2013.

Outlook

We continue to invest for further growth and anticipate that, as in previous years, the Group's performance in 2013 will be weighted towards the second half. The order book, project activity in the broad geographic regions we serve and our diverse end market exposure provide the Board with confidence of achieving further progress in the full year.

Independent Review Report to Rotork plc

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2013 which comprises the Consolidated Income statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expense, Consolidated Balance sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA"). Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

The annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Whilst the company has previously produced a half-yearly report containing a condensed set of financial statements, those financial statements have not previously been subject to a review by an independent auditor. As a consequence, the review procedures set out above have not been performed in respect of the comparative period for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of the UK FCA.

Notes to the Half Year Report

1. Status of condensed consolidated interim statements, accounting policies and basis of significant estimates

General information

Rotork plc is a company domiciled in England and Wales.

The Company has its premium listing on the London Stock Exchange.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2013 are unaudited and the auditors have reported in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'.

The comparative consolidated interim financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2012 are unaudited and the auditors have not reported in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'.

The information shown for the year ended 31 December 2012 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006, statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 were approved by the Board on 4 March 2013 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' report on those financial statements was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 are available from the Company's registered office or website, see note 16.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'the Group').

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Going concern

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial information. In forming this view, the directors have considered trading and cash flow forecasts, financial commitments, the significant orderbook with customers spread across different geographic areas and industries and the significant net cash position.

1. Status of condensed consolidated interim statements, accounting policies and basis of significant estimates (continued)

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In the future, actual experience may deviate from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the current financial year are discussed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied and significant estimates used by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

New accounting standards and interpretations

The amendments to IAS19 Employee benefits have been applied from 1 January 2013. The principal change relates to the requirement to use the schemes' discount rate to calculate the return on assets rather than using a rate of return appropriate to the various asset classes.

The application of the standard in the 2012 financial year would have increased the net pension interest cost to GBP1,092,000 from GBP390,000 (six months to 30 June 2012: increase to GBP546,000 from GBP192,000), reducing the pre-tax profit by GBP702,000 (six months to 30 June 2012: reducing by GBP354,000). The impact on basic earnings per share would be a reduction of 0.6p to 102.5p (six months to 30 June 2012: 0.3p to 47.5p). As a result of the adjustments not being material to the income statement, balance sheet or shareholders' equity prior year balances have not been restated.

The following standards and amendments have also been applied from 1 January 2013:

   --    IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 
   --    IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 
   --    IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 
   --    IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 
   --    IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements(amendments) 

Application of these standards and amendments has not had any material impact on the disclosures, net assets or results of the Group.

Recent accounting developments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments has been issued but is not yet effective and has not been adopted as application was not mandatory for the year. The directors anticipate that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the disclosures, net assets or results of the Group.

The comparatives balances for expected return from pensions scheme assets have been reclassified to interest charge on pension schemes to reflect the change in IAS19 which are explained in Note 1.

   4.       Income taxes 

Income tax expense is recognised based on management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual tax rate used for the year ended 31 December 2013 is 28.0% (the effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2012 was 28.1%).

The Group continues to expect its effective corporation tax rate to be higher than the standard UK rate due to higher tax rates in the US, China, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and India.

   5.       Acquisitions 

On 15 January 2013 the Group acquired 100% the entire share capital of the operating companies of the Schischek group of companies ("Schischek") for GBP35,865,000. Schischek designs and manufactures explosion-proof electric actuators, principally for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning markets with its main sites in Germany and Switzerland. The acquired business will be reported within the Controls division. In the period since acquisition Schischek has contributed GBP7,755,000 to Group revenue and GBP2,497,000 to consolidated operating profit before amortisation. The amortisation charge in the period since acquisition from the acquired intangible assets was GBP1,636,000.

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2013 the results would not have been materially different. It is not practicable to disclose profit before tax or profit attributable to equity shareholders as the Group manages its Treasury function on a Group basis.

The acquisition had the following effect on the Group's assets and liabilities.

The provisional adjustments shown in the table above represent the alignment of accounting policies to Rotork Group policies and the fair value adjustments of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.

Goodwill has arisen on the acquisition as a result of the value attributed to staff expertise and the assembled workforce, which did not meet the recognition criteria for a separate intangible asset.

The intangible assets identified are customer relationships, the Schischek brand, product design patents and the acquired order book

The interim dividend of 18.05 pence will be payable to shareholders on 27 September 2013 to those on the register on 30 August 2013.

   7.       Earnings per share 

Earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders for the period and 86.7m shares (six months to 30 June 2012: 86.6m; year to 31 December 2012: 86.6m) being the weighted average ordinary shares in issue.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders for the period and the weighted average ordinary shares in issue adjusted to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares under the Group's option schemes, Sharesave plan and Long-term incentive plan.

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders for the year after adding back the after tax amortisation charge.

The basis of measuring fair value is consistent with that disclosed in the 2012 Annual Report & Accounts.

   14.     Events Post Balance Sheet Date 

On 5 July 2013 the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Flowco Limited, a valve and actuator service company based near our headquarters in Bath, United Kingdom. The acquired business will be reported within the Rotork Controls division.

On 2 August 2013 the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of the GT Attuatori companies, a manufacturer of pneumatic actuators with operations based in Italy and Germany. The acquired businesses will be reported within the Rotork Fluid Systems division.

On 2 August 2013 the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Renfro Associates Inc, a valve adaption manufacturer based in Broken Arrow, USA. The acquired business will be reported within the Rotork Gears division.

The combined provisional consideration of the above acquisitions is GBP13,900,000 of which GBP13,050,000 was paid in cash on completion. If performance criteria are met a further GBP450,000 will be payable in 2014 and the remaining GBP400,000 in 2015. The businesses will contribute to Group revenue and operating profit in the second half of the year from the dates the individual businesses were acquired.

The provisional net assets are GBP5,200,000, including net cash of GBP300,000. If these acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2013 the businesses would have contributed GBP7,200,000 to Group revenue and GBP1,100,000 to Group operating profit in the six months to 30 June.

Due to the proximity of the acquisitions to the date of approval of the interim financial statements the initial accounting for these business combinations is incomplete and therefore the disclosures regarding the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of the goodwill and other intangibles, the amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes, the fair value of contingent liabilities and assets and the amount and treatment of acquisition costs cannot be made.
