Sales for the first six months of 2013 were up 1.2% compared to the prior year
driven primarily by Racquet Sports, especially in North America, offset by
exchange rate movements. At constant currency the sales for the first six months
of 2013 would have increased by 2.0%.
Winter Sports sales for the first six months where behind the comparable period
in 2012 by 2.2%. This, however, is not a key delivery period for the division
and consists mainly of close out sales relating to the 2012/13 season and some
deliveries of bindings under contract manufacturing agreements for the next
season.
The sell-in for the 2012/13 season was challenging due to the very mild winter
and late snow in both Europe and North America in 2011/12. The snow in 2012/13
improved and participation grew in the year. We believe that the increase in
participation did not ultimately lead to a proportional increase in market
consumption due to higher levels of rental and cautionary spending of consumers.
Overall, whilst retailers are still somewhat cautious, our bookings at this
stage for the 2013/14 season have improved compared to those achieved in the
same period in 2012 by around 10%, but have yet to recover to the levels
achieved in either 2010 or 2011.
The growth in our Racquet Sports division of 2.7% for the six months to June
2013 was mainly a result of higher tennis ball volumes particularly in North
America. The sale would have been further increased by one percentage point had
currencies been constant.
Our Diving sales for the first six months of 2013 remained flat as the European
market remained challenging due to cold weather conditions and general continued
economic uncertainties, but some growth was seen in North America and Asia.
Sportswear sales for the six months declined by 4.0%, or ?0.1m, mainly due to
lower bag sales in the UK market.
Gross margins for the six months to 30(th) June 2013 have improved from 39.9% to
40.9% mainly due to lower cost of sales for our bindings and tennis balls.
Adjusted operating loss for the six months to 30(th) June 2013 reduced
marginally by ?0.1m. The reduction in the loss was due to the higher sales and
gross margins being nearly offset by higher selling and marketing costs.
Overall for the six months ended June 30, 2013 we had a net loss of ?9.6m
compared to ?10.0m in the comparable 2012 period.
Net cash provided by operating activities declined by nearly ?12.0m in the first
six months mainly due to adverse working capital movements, as cash inflow from
working capital for the first six months of 2013 amounted to ?9.3m compared to
?21.3m for the first six months of 2012.
Net debt decreased by ?8.0m from 30(th) June 2012 to 30(th) June 2013 due to
positive operating cash flows after investing activities in the second half of
2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the company redeemed its outstanding
Senior Notes resulting in lower levels of long term debt in the company.
For 2013 we are anticipating a moderate growth in sales driven by further
recovery of our Winter Sports Division but the impact of currency fluctuations,
particularly the Yen, and some higher marketing and investment costs mean that
overall we believe our operating results will be broadly in line with those
achieved in 2012.
