Oeneo's consolidated statements for FINANCIAL year 2016-2017* ending 31 March 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors' meeting of 9 June 2017. Piedade, which was acquired in July 2015, is consolidated over 12 months for 2016-2017, compared with six months for 2015?2016.
2016-2017 saw Oeneo actively pursue its strategy for robust growth. Turnover totaled €246.6 million, up 16.7% on 2015-2016 and including organic growth of 7.3%. This performance reflects the success of the Group's innovative offers in both Closures and Winemaking, as well as an increasingly strong global presence that reduces its exposure to the impact of adverse weather conditions on harvests, as was the case in certain regions of the northern hemisphere this year.
Current operating profit increased by €4 million in 2016-2017, coming in at €42.0 million for a current operating margin of 17.0%. Like-for-like, the current operating margins of both divisions were also up, offsetting the increase in corporate expenses, which was primarily due to the implementation of a new law concerning the recognition of free share plans.
Operating profit amounted to €38.4 million, and included €3.6 million in non-recurring income and expenses, one-third of which were tied to restructuring costs, primarily for Piedade. Excluding €1.1 million in financial expenses and €10.8 million in tax, Group net profit climbed 12.4% to €26.4 million.
Group shareholder equity increased to €215.3 million at 31 March 2017. At €39.5 million, cash flow linked to operations more than covers net investments MADE over the year (€12.3 million) and interest. As a result, the Group actively continued to deleverage its debt, which declined by one-third to €50.0 million at 31 March 2017. Net gearing came in at a low 23.2% of shareholders' equity, giving the Group the financial arsenal needed to pursue its development.
Oeneo will be recommending the payment in September (with the OPTION of payment in cash or in shares) of a dividend of €0.14 per share at its next Annual General Meeting.
Performance review by Division
CLOSURES: Current operating margin of 18.9%
2016-2017 was a very robust year for Oeneo's Closures division, marked by dynamic sales for the Diam range and the ongoing integration of Piedade. The Group reached a new all-time yearly record in 2016-2017, with sales of 2.2 billion cork-based closures, confirming its ranking as the world number two in its sector. Turnover amounted to €161.4 million, up 24.3% on 20152016 and including organic growth of 8.9%. Growth was driven by the worldwide success of the Diam range, with Diam turnover climbing 13.6% in 2016-2017.
Current operating margin came in at 18.9% and even exceeded 19% for the second half alone, thanks to the excellent management of raw material and production costs and an improved product mix.
In 2017-2018, the Group will primarily draw on the success of the Diam range, which was recently boosted by the promising launch of a new high-end closure, "Origine by Diam", as part of Oeneo's ongoing efforts to improve its product mix. At Piedade, an ambitious action plan to bring profitability in line with Group standards was implemented and will be carried out over the next two years.
WINEMAKING: Current operating margin of 18.9%
The Winemaking divison continued to perform well in 2016-2017, combining strong growth despite a high basis for comparison with an improvement in margins. Turnover totaled €85.2 million, up 4.6% on 2015-2016.
Current operating margin reached a new record of 18.9%, up from 18.7% in 2015-2016. The Group benefited in particular from the positive impact of the strong performance of its "core business" activities, including oak barrels, oak products for the wine industry and large vats, and ongoing measures to optimize operations, which have notably led to a reduction in raw material costs.
The division continues to target new growth in 2017-2018 by drawing on its unique and exhaustive offer for the global wine industry, while remaining mindful of potentially adverse weather (such as the unseasonably cold spring in France this year) that could have an one-off impact on operations in a given geographic area.
Outlook
Backed by the strong performance of its divisions, Oeneo is confident of its continued growth in 2017-2018, even if the first quarter may prove relatively stable due to a particularly exceptional base effect for Winemaking.
Its unique and exhaustive offer across the entire winemaking industry value chain, constant innovation as illustrated most recently by the launch of the "Origine by Diam" closure, and steady international expansion are all strengths that will enable it to outperform market growth over the long term, while reinforcing its fundamentals through careful cost management. The Group is also open to adding to or strengthening its offer through new acquisitions, particularly those with high technological value-added.
(*) The consolidated financial statements have been audited in full. The auditors' report will be published once the due diligence procedures required for the publication of the yearly financial report are complete.
Oeneo Group will publish its turnover for the first quarter of 2017-2018
on 25 July 2017 after the markets have closed.
