SA's Largest Producer Of Wall And Flooring Tiles, Ceramic Industries, Is Delaying Its Decision To Invest R500 Million Into A New Tile Factory Until It Is Able To Convert Its Old Order Mining Rights To New Order Rights.
SA's largest manufacturer of wall and floor tiles, Ceramic Industries, is delaying its decision to invest R500 million into a new tile factory till it can convert its old order mining rights to new order rights.This manufacturer has export in some Europe's nations like Bosnia and Herzegovina,mostly ceramic tiles or in Bosnian keramicke plocice.
The mining rights are for clay, an indispensable raw material in the creation of tiles, but on its own, a marginal commodity that generates little interest among miners. The company applied to convert the rights in 2008.
Without a secured supply of an essential raw material the company cannot commit to an investment of that scale, announces Manager Nick Booth.
Ceramic Industries reported lower than anticipated profitability in its results to July. Higher electricity and gas prices, rising costs of commodities like zirconium and borax which are utilized in the production of glazes, and competition from inexpensive imports were cited as reasons for the poor earnings.
Group revenue reduced 3,4% to R1,5 billion from R1,6 billion in the year under review. But profits slipped 23% to R192 million from R250m last year. Headline earnings per share declined 30,6% to 785,3c from one 131,3c per share.
Making tiles is an energy radical business, and the rising cost of electricity, and more particularly gas, is making itself felt. "The energy cost per unit (m) has risen from R1,50 twenty months ago, to R3,60 currently." The price of commodities employed in the making of tile and ceramic glazes rose by twenty p.c. to 25 percent in the past year.
However , other costs,eg upkeep and labour, came in at less than inflation. The company is in talks with unions referring to income increases. The cut-off point is October and Booth is upbeat that deadlock can be avoided. Though results were down overall, there were pockets of success in the group, which operates four tile factories, a sanitaryware factory and a bath factory in SA ; and a glazed porcelain factory in Australia.
Maybe most surprising was the factory that competes most with low cost Chinese imports fared the absolute best. Pegasus, which produces tiles that sell in the R40m price range increased both production and sales volume, growing turnover by 4%. "We run an especially competitive operation," asserts Booth. "Our factories are world class and we are able to compete with the Chinese."
The year saw the company invest R130 million on clobber upgrades and leading edge technology. "This is typically on hi-def printers for our glazes. We intend to roll the technology into all of our factories," Booth announces.
Exports to Africa grew by 20% in the past year, also helping to drive cash in the Pegasus business. "We are exporting to all of our neighbors, with good growth coming from Mozambique and Zimbab- we ; as well as further out in Angola and the DRC. This side of the business is so promising the company is examining the possibility of building a factory in one of its export markets."
It was in the upper echelons that Ceramic suffered the consequence of Chinese imports. Vitro, the factory that produces upmarket floor tiles (upwards of R60m)
"We produce tiles made from red clay the type often mined in SA. But the trend is towards white based porcelain tiles. These are imported and are increasing in popularity. There is no technical difference, and once tiles are coloured and glaz- ed, there is not any visible difference eit- her. The difference is perception.
In other divisions the company scored a few own-goals. Samca, which produces flooring tiles (R50m to R80m) fought with management changes and inefficiency. And while management had its eye off the ball so did product designers who didn't keep up with trends, resulting in a loss of sales. The company had to drop its costs to win back market share.
The rest room business has been turned around, with sales volumes growing generally. "We lost market share and let go of our costs a bit. Costs are now in order and we have passed on the savings so as to win back market share."
To keep a tighter rein on the busi- ness, the management structure was reorganised. Booth deployed the group's two most experienced chiefs, Lance Foxcroft and Pieter de Lange, to head up the sanitary ware and tile divisions respectively. With the day to day operations now in careful hands, he is actually now more able to target enterprise-wide method and business development.
The Australian business had a tough year, reporting production down by 26,5% and sales down by 25 percent and barely breaking even. While the economy was slow and imports high, almost all of the issues came down to production and commissioning Problems at the factory. "We are close to a turn-around in this business. And as the sole tile manufacturer in Au- stralia we're going to have a competitive advantage. We just need to be a little sharper."
Booth is sure about the coming year, and about manufacturing in SA generally. "Any manufacturer of heavy stuff should operate in the market in which they sell the product."
He has worries about the ability of makers to make new roles in SA but believes the business will remain workable th- coarse continued investment in capital infrastructure. "The challenges we face today are dissimilar to those of 10 years back but nothing is insurmountable."
As is clear from the one 500c special dividend announc- ed early on in the year, Ceramic is a money generative company. Money reserves reduced to R217,7 million from R435,7 million and Ceramic's net asset value per share dropped by 10,5% to 7 081c (2010 : 7 912c) as a consequence of the R304m special dividend pronounced in May as reported tagza.com.
