COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
The economic landscape has been much the same as the first half of the year and we believe this will continue
for another 12 months. Our industry was negatively impacted by challenging macro conditions, which negatively
impacted results. With the construction industry under immense strain a number of businesses, both large and
small, have been liquidated and we have also seen large-scale retrenchments in the sector due to the lack of
demand and volumes.
Prudence remains key to sustainability in this environment with every decision requiring focused attention on a
multitude of risks. We have remained rigorous in our application of risk assessments.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The summarised results of the audited consolidated annual financial statements for the group for the year
("the summarised results") contain the information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, and have
been prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements
of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the
Financial Reporting Standards Council, the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, and the JSE Listings Requirements.
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of these summarised
consolidated annual financial results are in terms of IFRS and consistent with those applied in the most recently
issued audited annual financial statements except for the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 as discussed below:
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED IN THE
CURRENT YEAR
The group adopted IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 in the current financial period for the first time on the mandatory
adoption date. No standard, amendment or interpretation has been adopted early by the group. The comparative
information has not been restated, and complies with the requirements of IAS 39 and IAS 18. Other than the
changes set out below, the accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the prior financial period and
did not result in any prior-year restatements.
IFRS 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
CONTRACT REVENUE
The group's contracts contain single distinct performance obligations, and are not exposed to material amounts
of variable consideration. The group continues to apply the percentage of completion method (using surveys
of work performed as the measure of performance completed to date) to recognise revenue over time from its
contracts with customers.
SALE OF GOODS
The group recognises revenue on the sale of goods on delivery, which is when control of the goods passes to
the customer.
TIME VALUE OF MONEY
The group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods
or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does
not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
IMPACT
The adoption of IFRS 15 has not had a material impact on the group's financial performance or results.
IFRS 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The group's significant financial assets consist of contract and trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Its business model for its financial assets is to "hold and collect", and the group collects capital and interest
only. Accordingly, these instruments are measured at amortised cost under IFRS 9, which is similar to their
previous measurement under IAS 39.
IMPAIRMENT
The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for its financial assets. In terms of
its revised methodology the group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses,
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and construction contract receivables.
The adoption of IFRS 9 in the current year, and on the opening balances as at 1 March 2018, has not had a
significant impact on the group's results. It has not resulted in the recognition of significant allowances for
credit losses.
The summarised results have been prepared under the supervision of the financial director, Ms L Mazor CA(SA).
This summarised report is extracted from audited information, but is itself not audited. The directors take full
responsibility for the preparation of the summarised results and that the financial information has been correctly
extracted from the underlying annual financial statements.
The consolidated annual financial statements, from which the summarised results have been derived, were
audited in accordance with International Standards on Auditing by the group's external auditors, Mazars, who
expressed an unqualified audit opinion. This is available for inspection at the company's registered office. That
report does not necessarily cover all the information contained in this announcement.
Shareholders are therefore advised that, in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditors'
work, they should refer to the report together with the annual consolidated financial statements contained in the
integrated annual report. A copy of the full consolidated annual financial statements is available for inspection
from the company secretary at the registered office of the group. In order to request a copy, please contact
Mr I Bloom on 021 981 4300 or email the request to ivor@altotrust.com.
GROUP PROFILE
The Steel division comprises Mazor Steel, which designs, supplies and erects structural steel frames. The
Aluminium division comprises Mazor Aluminium, which designs, manufactures and installs aluminium
structures such as doors, windows, shop fronts, facades and balustrades and includes HBS Aluminium
Systems' range of fenestration systems and accessories. The Glass division comprises the Compass Glass
businesses, which manufacture and distribute laminated and toughened safety glass and double-glazed units.
The group has a strong national presence across Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal in addition to its historical base
in the Western Cape.
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Revenue declined to R399 million (February 2018: R426.5 million). The group recorded an operating loss
of R20.8 million (February 2018: operating loss R1.9 million). A headline loss of R16.1 million resulted in a
headline loss per share of 15.3 cents compared to a headline loss of R0.8 million and HEPS loss of 0.8 cents
at February 2018.
Revenue declined in all three business segments, resulting in operating losses across all business segments.
The largest impact was within the Aluminium and Steel divisions as a result of the downturn in the construction
sector.
Our emphasis on rigorous risk assessment has ensured that we have avoided bad debts from contract revenue
in our Aluminium and Steel divisions to date. There have been a reduced number of new building starts across
all regions of the country over the past year. We believe it will take time until demand outstrips supply and hence
the current situation of the construction industry is expected to prevail for the medium term. We continue to
focus on costs on a monthly basis and identifying further efficiencies in the business. In addition, we continue
to tender as much as possible within the constraints that exist in the current market.
Our Glass division continues to provide a differentiated value offering and notwithstanding a loss for the year is
expected to help sustain margins and efficiencies in the current year.
The increase in the deferred tax asset is as a result of losses incurred in the Aluminium and Steel divisions.
A deferred tax asset was raised in respect of these losses as they are considered recoverable.
Contract assets increased to R27.5 million from R19.4 million in the prior year due to an increase in project
starts prior to February 2019.
Trade and other payables increased from R37.1 million in the prior year to R43.8 million in the current year as
a result of increased purchasing to improve inventory levels.
At 28 February 2019, the group had issued guarantees amounting to R27.5 million compared to R24 million at
the previous year-end. These guarantees have arisen in the ordinary course of business and it is not expected
that any loss will arise therefrom.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Directors' remuneration for the year amounted to R9.2 million (2018: R11.3 million).
SHARE TRANSACTIONS
During the year Mazor repurchased 2 189 996 (2018: 2 153 213) of its issued ordinary shares for a total
consideration of R3 305 077. The shares were repurchased by a subsidiary of the company at an average price
of R1.51 per share (2018: R1.59) and are held as treasury shares.
DIRECTORATE
During the year Mr Ray Schur resigned effective 1 December 2018 and Mr Allan Groll, a current independent
non-executive director of the Mazor board, replaced him on the audit and risk committee, the remuneration and
nomination committee and as chairperson of the social and ethics committee, with effect from 18 February
2019.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
No dividend was declared for the year in light of the losses incurred by the group.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
No material reportable events occurred between the reporting date and the date of this announcement.
PROSPECTS
Looking ahead we have not changed our outlook as stated at interim results in August last year and continue to
remain cautious. We remain hopeful of an improved macroeconomic environment, which would aid recovery
in our sector.
We will continue to focus on margins, costs and efficiencies in pursuit of our long-term objective of sustainable
profitability, irrespective of the immediate to mid-term economic landscape.
APPRECIATION
We thank our employees for their continued dedication and hard work under challenging trading conditions.
Our appreciation also to our board for their continued guidance and wise counsel. We thank our customers,
suppliers, advisers and shareholders for their continued loyal support.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the economy, financial
condition and results of the operations of Mazor that, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty because they
relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These may relate to
future prospects, opportunities and strategies. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ from those anticipated. By consequence, none of the
forward-looking statements have been reviewed or reported on by the group's auditors.
