Genus plc Reports Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2023

Must Read

CHALLENGING MARKETS – MANAGEMENT ACTIONS TAKEN

WEBCAST AVAILABLE TODAY AT 7:01 AM GMT, 2.01 EST

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Genus (LSE:GNS), a leading global animal genetics company, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2023. The full report has been made available on the investors section of the Genus plc website. The Company will discuss its corporate, operational and financial highlights in a pre-recorded webcast at 7:01 AM GMT, 2.01 EST.

Commenting on the performance and outlook, Jorgen Kokke, Chief Executive, said:

“Genus faced challenging markets which impacted performance in the first half of the year. We have taken rapid action including initiating a comprehensive programme to accelerate the value delivery from our bovine operations. We have also completed a strategic review of R&D activities. The Company is benefitting from savings achieved in the first half and will benefit further in the second half of the year and into FY25, as we optimise resource allocation to best deliver our growth objectives.

In North America, Europe and Latin America PIC continued to achieve growth in royalty revenues and operating profit, illustrating the strength of PIC’s business model. China continues to be a challenging porcine market, however enhanced commercial focus is delivering results. New royalty customers were signed in the first half which gives us more confidence that our sales approach is effective. The opportunity in China remains significant and given the success of the relationship with our local partner, BCA, we are jointly exploring ways to accelerate our collaboration going forward.

ABS saw weakness across most markets. China dairy was particularly challenging; not only did conventional volumes suffer from a double-digit decline in the dairy herd, but mix was also impacted as demand for sexed genetics reduced.

As described in our recent trading update, taking into account management actions taken, and assuming that present market conditions persist for the balance of the fiscal year, management expects fiscal year 2024 adjusted profit before tax to be not less than £58m in actual currency. We are seeing the positive impact of our actions to accelerate value delivery which will deliver further benefit in the second half and in subsequent years.”

Outlook

Conditions remain challenging for our customers in several parts of the world and we have driven acceleration of our value delivery initiatives to improve performance in the first half, with further action being taken in the second half. Our focus is on driving commercial excellence and efficiency improvements at ABS as well as concentrating our R&D efforts on projects with the most attractive commercial outcomes.

With management actions taken, and assuming that present market conditions persist for the balance of the fiscal year, management expects fiscal year 2024 adjusted profit before tax to be not less than £58m in actual currency1. Management remains committed to strong profit growth in the medium-term.

Resilient revenue delivery amidst challenging markets

  • Low growth and prices in protein production across several markets, China the most impactful
  • Decisive management actions taken:

    • Value Acceleration Programme underway in ABS to improve profitability and returns from investments
    • R&D strategic review completed to sharpen alignment to strategic and commercial goals
  • Commercialisation of the PRP (PRRS Resistant Pig) remains on track; US FDA regulatory progress, genotypic and phenotypic durability submissions accepted. Engagement has shifted to the post-product approval compliance procedures with PRP approval now expected in fiscal year 2025

As expected, first half adjusted profit performance lower year on year

  • Group revenue increased by +1%2 in constant currency (5% decrease in actual currency)
  • Adjusted operating profit including joint ventures decreased 17%2 in constant currency (21% decrease in actual currency)
  • Adjusted profit before tax (PBT) decreased 26%2 (31% decrease in actual currency) as lower profit performances in China of PIC and ABS, and higher net finance costs were partially offset by profit growth in the rest of the Group
  • Statutory PBT 5% lower at £14.3m, with a £2.6m increase in the non-cash fair value IAS41 valuation of biological assets of the Group, offset by exceptional expenses of £7.5m
  • Stable free cash outflow1 of £3.3m (2022: £3.3m outflow) as lower adjusted profit performance, higher exceptional expenses and interest costs were offset by positive working capital management
  • Cash conversion increased to 69%1 (2022: 62%), in line with expectations
  • Net debt1 increased to £250.1m, as expected, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.1x1
  • Adjusted earnings per share 32% lower and interim dividend of 10.3p per share unchanged, with 2.2x1 adjusted earnings cover

Reporting format change

Product Development costs now being allocated to PIC and ABS, having previously been reported within the R&D division; management has determined that this better aligns the costs as well as the opportunities of this activity with the businesses; no change to group adjusted operating profit.

Divisional headlines

  • PIC – Resilient trading ex-China continuing to gain market share, ongoing challenging environment in China

    • Strategically important royalty revenue growth of 2%2 with volumes also growing 2% demonstrating the strength of the royalty model
    • Adjusted operating profit including joint ventures decreased by 10%2; PIC trading regions ex-China grew adjusted operating profit by 5%, but was impacted primarily by China’s decrease in adjusted operating profit, PRP commercialisation costs and higher product development costs due to expansion into PIC’s Atlas farm
    • Enhanced commercial focus in China gaining traction; new royalty customers won in the period demonstrating the attractiveness of PIC’s royalty model and genetics
  • ABS – Challenging trading across all regions; significant action taken to improve performance

    • Volumes decreased 6% (ABS ex-China down 2%) with sexed volumes up 2% and beef volumes down 5%
    • Revenue increased 3% in constant currency supported by robust price increases and product mix
    • Adjusted operating profit decreased 15%, due to lower trading volumes in all regions except Europe partially offset by growth in IntelliGen third party contracts and management’s mitigating price and cost actions
    • Comprehensive Value Acceleration Programme; leadership change and targeted restructuring. Focused price action, production rationalisation and other cost efficiencies delivered £1.3m in FY24 H1 with a further £5m of savings expected in FY24 H2, resulting in £10m annualised savings expected for FY25. Exceptional restructuring costs of £2.9m recognised through the FY24 H1 condensed income statement. Further ABS restructuring to continue in the second half and additional exceptional restructuring costs are anticipated in FY24 H2
    • In January 2024, US and NZ litigations with ST were settled outside the courts, details in the condensed financial statements.
  • R&D – Investment decreased by 8%2 as planned

    • Sharpened focus on key priorities that aligns to our strategy, has a compelling commercial opportunity, is deliverable, and leads to a portfolio that is balanced overall
    • Strategic review completed and expected to give rise to annual cost savings of £5m in FY25. We expect to recognise c£1m of associated exceptional cost in FY24 H2.
