Alan Raleigh, Chairman, commented:
"The results for the first half of 2023 reflect the current very
challenging macroeconomic conditions, which we expect to continue
for the rest of 2023. Despite these conditions, we are now seeing
more new business activity with existing and potential new
customers, which provides opportunities for additional sales in
2023 and beyond.
We are progressing well with the previously announced major
project in Denmark, with production equipment now installed in our
factory and product trials underway; this investment is expected to
begin to benefit sales and profit from 2024.
The demand slowdown that we anticipated has supressed volumes
and resulted in lower than desired sales and earnings in the first
half of 2023, however, we expect higher sales volumes due to recent
business wins and seasonality, and the benefit of the restructuring
program actioned in June, to lead to an improved result in the
second half of the year. Based on trading in the first half and our
anticipated pipeline, we expect adjusted(1) operating profit in the
2023 financial year to be marginally ahead of 2022 and in line with
current expectations.
We continue to progress our surplus property disposal agenda,
which along with the buy-out of the defined benefit pension scheme
and return of the escrow funds will reduce indebtedness and result
in a simpler and more streamlined organisation which is able to
compete and win in a volatile marketplace.
We remain committed in the medium-term to delivering
above-market profitable growth and our target of 6-8% adjusted(1)
operating margin."

Chairman's Statement
Dear Shareholders
The results for the first half of 2023 reflect the very
challenging circumstances we are continuing to experience across
our operations due to the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and
volatility.
We noted 12 months ago that sales volumes would come under
further pressure during the second half of 2022 due to the effect
of inflation, the cost-of-living crisis, the de-listing of some
products by our customers and certain of our customers continuing
to prioritise existing business over innovation projects, a
characteristic which started during the pandemic. As we expected,
these factors and other challenges have manifested in lower sales
in the current period.
Sales in the first half of the year are 4% below the comparative
period in 2022, which includes a sales volume reduction of 12%. Of
the Group volume reduction, 5% relates to a single UK customer that
made supply chain changes during the period and is experiencing
issues which have impacted our business with them. As well as the
issues with this specific customer, demand has noticeably reduced
across the premium products in our portfolio due to inflation and
the cost-of-living crisis.
As demand has softened, we have stepped up sales activity and as
a result we now have a portfolio of opportunities close to
completion, which if converted would comprise more than 10% of
annual sales and partially mitigate the softness in demand for our
current customers' portfolio of products. We are prioritising the
management and execution of the previously announced capital
investment project in our Denmark operation, which we expect will
benefit sales and profit in 2024.
In response to the significant cost inflation experienced in
2022, we were successful in passing on inflationary cost increases
to customers and gross margins were 18% (H1 2022: 18%). Margins are
under pressure, primarily due to the operational gearing effect of
12% lower sales volumes and continued inflation in input costs.
Operating costs in the first half were GBP4.0m (2022: GBP3.2m).
The increase of GBP0.8m includes:
-- GBP0.2m of new roles brought into the business to improve our
operational capabilities and support our efforts to grow sales
volumes, including the major new project in Denmark.
-- GBP0.2m of inflation in wages and salaries in response to
double digit market inflation and substantial mandatory minimum
wage increases across our three countries of operation.
-- GBP0.1m related to property and insurance as the costs of
maintaining, repairing and rebuilding premises have escalated, and
the insurance market has hardened since the previous renewal.
-- GBP0.1m due to the movement in foreign exchange rates.
Whilst most of these cost increases were anticipated, our
efforts to increase sales prices to recover the inflation were
insufficient to cover these operating cost increases. As a result
of these inflationary pressures, we implemented a restructuring
program in June, which resulted in exceptional costs of c.GBP0.4m
and annual savings of c.GBP0.7m, of which GBP0.4m will benefit
2023.
Operating profit before exceptional items and amortisation of
intangible assets reduced by GBP1.0m versus the same period last
year, to GBP0.5m. This is in line with the six-month period to 31
December 2022, where operating profit before exceptional items and
amortisation of intangible assets was also GBP0.5m.
Including the exceptional items, the Group made a loss before
tax of GBP0.9m (2022: profit before tax GBP2.8m).
Defined benefit pension scheme
In December 2022, the Scheme completed a buy-in of all the
Group's defined benefit pension scheme liabilities with a plan to
complete a full buy-out during 2023, following a data cleanse
exercise. The administration and payroll functions were handed over
to Legal and General Assurance Society Limited from 1 August 2023
and the data cleanse is ongoing, with completion expected before
the end of the year.
The Company announced on 14 August 2023 that it had reached
agreement with the trustees of the Scheme for the funds held in the
pension escrow account, totalling c.GBP3.3m, to be returned to the
Group (of which, GBP2.7m was already loaned to the Company). The
Group will recognise an exceptional profit of c.GBP3.3m in its
income statement for the 12 months to 31 December 2023.
Property
As previously announced, part of the Walton Works surplus
property in Chesterfield, known as "Mill Lane", was sold on 30 May
2023. The consideration of GBP700,000 was received in cash and used
to reduce bank debt.
On 11 August 2023, the Company also exchanged contracts for the
sale of c.1.3 acres of the Walton Works surplus property.
Completion is subject to conditions, notably including satisfactory
planning approval, and is expected to take around 12-18 months. The
consideration payable on completion would be GBP1,500,000 in cash,
with estimated Company costs of GBP400,000. The net proceeds of
GBP1,100,000 would be used by the Company to reduce current bank
debt.
Including this property transaction, which is not yet completed,
the Directors estimate that the current market value of the
remaining surplus properties held by the Group is approximately
GBP7,400,000.
We would expect further sales of surplus property in
Chesterfield to be achieved in the next 12 months. The intention of
the Group remains, over time, to realise value from the disposal of
surplus properties and to reinvest the proceeds in developing our
packaging business.
Net debt and capital expenditure
Net debt has decreased to GBP9.0m (31/12/2022: GBP9.2m)
including capital expenditure of GBP1.1m (2022: GBP1.1m) and the
receipt of GBP0.7m proceeds on sale of surplus property in the
period. With total credit facilities of GBP18.1m at 30 June 2023,
the Group considers it has sufficient headroom for the foreseeable
future.
The return of the funds in the pension escrow account reduced
net debt by a further c.GBP3.3m on 14 August 2023.
Dividend
Despite the short-term market challenges we face, the Board has
confidence in the medium-term prospects for the business and
therefore announces that it intends to pay an interim dividend of
2.5p per share to be paid on 13 October 2023 to shareholders on the
register at 22 September 2023 (record date). The ordinary shares
ex-dividend date is 21 September 2023.
The current intention of the Board is to pay a total dividend of
5.5p (2022: 5.5p) per share for the year ending 31 December
2023.
CEO position
A previously announced, Dr Helene Roberts will resign as CEO and
a Director of the Company on 1 September 2023, at which point Sara
Halton will assume responsibility as the Interim CEO for a
transitional period whilst the Board conducts a search for a new
CEO. We thank Helene for her enormous contribution to the
business.
Outlook
Despite the ongoing challenging macroeconomic conditions, we are
now seeing more new business activity with existing and potential
new customers, which provides opportunities for additional sales in
2023 and beyond.
We are progressing well with the previously announced major
project in Denmark, with production equipment now installed in our
factory and product trials underway; this investment is expected to
begin to benefit sales and profit from 2024.
The demand slowdown that we anticipated has supressed volumes
and resulted in lower than desired sales and earnings in the first
half of 2023, however, we expect higher sales volumes due to recent
business wins and seasonality, and the benefit of the restructuring
program actioned in June, to lead to an improved result in the
second half of the year. Based on trading in the first half and our
anticipated pipeline, we expect adjusted (1) operating profit in
the 2023 financial year to be marginally ahead of 2022 and in line
with current expectations.
We continue to progress our surplus property disposal agenda,
which along with the buy-out of the defined benefit pension scheme
and return of the escrow funds will reduce indebtedness and result
in a simpler and more streamlined organisation which is able to
compete and win in a volatile marketplace.
We remain committed in the medium-term to delivering
above-market profitable growth and our target of 6-8% adjusted (1)
operating margin.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
Robinson plc (the Company) is a public limited company
incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom and its ordinary
shares are admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange. For the year ended 31 December 2022, the Group
prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards in conformity with
the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed
consolidated interim financial statements (the interim financial
statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention
adjusted for the revaluation of certain properties. They are based
on the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS in accordance
with international accounting standards in conformity with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Standards effective from 1 January 2023
None of the standards, interpretations, and amendments effective
for the first time from 1 January 2023 have had a material effect
on the financial statements. There are no standards that are not
yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact
on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on
foreseeable future transactions.
Accounting policies
The interim report is unaudited and has been prepared on the
basis of IFRS accounting policies. The accounting policies adopted
in the preparation of this unaudited interim financial report are
consistent with the most recent annual financial statements, being
those for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial
information for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022
has not been audited and does not constitute full financial
statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act
2006.
The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December
2022 does not constitute full financial statements within the
meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This information
is based on the Group's statutory accounts for that period. The
statutory accounts were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
international accounting standards in conformity with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and received an unqualified
audit report and did not contain statements under Section 498(2) or
(3) of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements have been
filed with the Registrar of Companies, a copy is available upon
request from the Company's registered office: Field House,
Wheatbridge, Chesterfield, S40 2AB, UK or from its website at
robinsonpackaging.com .
Going concern
The Directors have performed a robust assessment, including a
review of the forecast for the 12-month period ending 31 December
2023 and longer-term strategic forecasts and plans, including
consideration of the principal risks faced by the Group including
stress testing of the business, as detailed in the 2022 Annual
Report (page 73). Following this review, the Directors have a
reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to
continue in business for the foreseeable future. Thus, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of half year financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the
Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December
2022.
3. Risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties which may have the largest
impact on performance in the second half of the year are the same
as disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report on pages 18-19. The
principal risks set out in the 2022 Annual Report were: Acquisition
performance; Customer relationships; Raw material supply and input
prices; IT and digital security; Environment; Debt leverage;
Operational gearing; Foreign currency; Market competitiveness; and
People.
The Board considers that the principal risks and uncertainties
set out in the 2022 Annual Report have not changed and remain
relevant for the second half of the financial year.
4. Earnings per share
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share
for continuing operations shown on the income statement is based on
the profit for the period divided by the weighted average number of
shares in issue, net of treasury shares. The potentially dilutive
effect of further shares issued through share options is also
applied to the number of shares to calculate the diluted earnings
per share.
