(3)    As a result of the recent Offer by a consortium of Onex Corporation and CPPIB which has been recommended by the Independent Directors, at the present time there will be no interim dividend for 2010.
 
  •       Sales of ongoing segments increased by 23% and their adjusted operating profit increased by 229%.
  •       Adjusted operating profit margin of ongoing segments was 12.2% (H1 2009: 4.6%).
  •       Trading cashflow was $67.1 million.
  •       Net debt was $263.7 million (H1 2009: $515.9 million; FY 2009: $207.5 million).
  •       Acquired Koch Filter Corporation and TransHose Corporation in the first half of 2010.
  •       On 27 July 2010, the Independent Directors announced the recommended cash offer for Tomkins plc by Onex and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ('CPPIB') at 325 pence per share ('the Offer').

 

David Newlands, Chairman, commented:

"The Group delivered a good set of results for the first half, benefitting from the continued improvement in conditions in most of our end markets. These results also reflect the positive impact from the actions management have taken over the last few years to reduce our cost base and restructure the business. Notwithstanding the strong performance in the first half of 2010, we believe that global economic uncertainty coupled with recent downward trends in some macro indicators is likely to impact negatively our end markets in the second half of 2010 compared to the first half.
The cash Offer by Onex and CPPIB, announced last week, received careful consideration from the Independent Directors of Tomkins. The Independent Directors believe that the Offer is fair and reasonable and reflects both the value of the Group today and its future potential."

James Nicol, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Sales from ongoing segments were up 23% year-on-year due to stronger than expected volumes across all of our industrial and automotive end markets, as well as restocking particularly in the aftermarket. This was offset to some extent by further declines in US construction markets, which continue to weaken. Adjusted operating margins, which benefitted from the higher volumes combined with the substantially completed restructuring initiatives reached 12.2%, up from 8.0% in the second half of 2009."
 

 

2.     GROUP PRIORITIES

The Group continues to implement its four key priorities:
(i)    Driving top-line growth
Our growth strategy is focused on three key initiatives which we execute both organically and through bolt-on acquisitions: (i) leveraging the Gates brand and footprint by growing our service and distribution capabilities in the industrial and automotive aftermarket end markets; (ii) expanding our presence in higher-growth emerging markets; and (iii) developing energy efficient, 'green' products which reduce emissions.
Within the Fluid Power segment, we expanded the geographic coverage of our services capability through the acquisition of TransHose, a small hydraulic hose supplier and service provider to the Australian oil, gas and mining industries. We commenced operations within our new facility in Changzhou, China in early 2010, which is now operating up to the level of installed capacity. In addition, we have opened new service centres in the US, China and Turkey, enabling us to expand our service capabilities to our existing and new end customers in these regions.
Within our Power Transmission division, we completed the construction of our new facility in Izmir, Turkey. We are now in the process of transferring production from our plant in Germany, which is scheduled for closure at the end of 2010.
Schrader Electronics, which is part of the Sensors & Valves segment, is continuing to work with European manufacturers to address the new tyre pressure monitoring system opportunities in Europe, which we expect will start to benefit Schrader from the middle of 2011. The European legislation mandating tyre pressure monitoring systems to be fitted to certain vehicles sold in the European market from 2014 was passed last year. The decision by authorities in China to introduce similar legislation is expected to be made by the end of the year. Schrader has already achieved $60 million of booked business for the European markets through carryover contracts from relationships established in the US.
Within our Building Products group, our businesses continue to expand their involvement in energy efficiency projects. During the first half of 2010, Ruskin supplied a further 200 stores with Energy Recovery Ventilators, worth a total of approximately $2.8 million. Ruskin is also working on its third test store with a major retailer in Canada with over 200 stores, with a view to supplying all 200 stores commencing in 2011. Contracts worth around $10 million have been won this year in the nuclear power industry and are due to start in 2011 and 2012. Tunnel dampers for the Brisbane tunnel project, which was won early in the year, are due to start shipping from the second half of 2010, and should contribute around $4 million of sales in 2010. In the UAE, Ruskin Titus Gulf completed the contract to supply dampers to the Green line, the second metro line in Dubai.
In February 2010, we acquired Koch Filter Corporation, a manufacturer of air filters for the non-residential filtration replacement market with annual sales of approximately $40 million for our Air Distribution segment. Koch Filter builds on our filtration capabilities and green product strategy and represents the first business within Building Products which sells predominantly replacement products.
(ii)   Managing the balance sheet
We manage the Group's balance sheet with two main objectives: (i) to maximise shareholder value whilst retaining flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that arise to grow the business; and (ii) to maintain an investment-grade credit rating.
During the first half of 2010, net debt increased by $56.2 million to $263.7 million, principally as a result of an increase in working capital of over $200 million which was mainly due to higher sales volumes. Working capital management is a key focus for the Group and, for 2010 as a whole, we expect a small improvement in working capital ratios. Trading cash flow of $67.1million was after a cash outflow on restructurings of $29.2 million and net capital expenditure of $33.3 million.
Our strong balance sheet and available cash provides us with the flexibility to make bolt-on acquisitions to enhance growth and provide returns to shareholders. We continue to develop acquisition opportunities within our areas of strategic focus, and to invest organically in research and development, new facilities and service centres.
(iii)  Managing the cost base
During the first half of 2010, we incurred a further $29.2 million of cash costs and $8.5 million of restructuring costs principally relating to three plants that are to be closed later this year under Project Cheetah, our existing restructuring initiative. Two of these plants operate in the Power Transmission segment, and one in Fluid Power. For 2010 as a whole, we expect to incur $12 million of restructuring costs and cash outflows on restructurings of $65 million to complete our restructuring projects.
Rigorous expense management throughout the Group remains a high priority.
(iv)  Reshaping the portfolio
During the first half of 2010, we completed two acquisitions: Koch Filter and TransHose, as described above. We continue to look for opportunities, both organic and acquisitions, to expand our Gates and Air Distribution businesses in new regions and through new products.

(1) Doors & Windows segment which was exited in 2009.
 
Sales from continuing operations were $2,427.5 million in H1 2010 (H1 2009: $2,002.3 million), an increase of 21.2%. Most of the Group's end markets improved which drove a corresponding increase in sales volumes across the Group through higher demand and restocking.
Adjusted operating profit was $295.0 million in H1 2010 (H1 2009: $82.3
m
illion), this increase was largely due to the effect of increased sales volumes and the benefits of restructuring initiatives. A reconciliation of operating profit to adjusted operating profit and an analysis identifying the underlying change in sales and adjusted operating profit are presented for each segment in Section 7.
The Group's adjusted operating margin was 12.2% in H1 2010 compared with 4.1% in H1 2009 and 7.7% in H2 2009.

Sales from ongoing segments in H1 2010 were $2,427.5 million (H1 2009: $1,967.1 million), an increase of 23.4% compared to the first half of 2009 and 11.5% compared to the second half of 2009. Industrial and Automotive's ('I&A') sales were 34.0% higher than the first half of 2009 mainly due to improvements in the automotive Original Equipment ('OE') and industrial OE and replacement markets. The automotive aftermarket performed well, and grew by 13.1%. Sales in the Building Products business group were down 6.2% compared to the prior year as relative stability in sales to the residential markets was more than offset by declining sales to the non-residential markets, which comprised 70.8% of Building Products' sales in the first half of 2010. Section 5 contains a breakdown of sales for ongoing segments by end market.
Adjusted operating profit from ongoing segments for H1 2010 was $295.5 million (H1 2009: $89.8 million).

Market background

In the first half of 2010, the industrial markets accounted for 39.4% of I&A's sales, with 18.9
%
to the industrial OE market and 20.5% to the industrial replacement market.
US industrial production, as measured by the US Federal Reserve Industrial Production index, continued to improve throughout the first half of 2010 and was on average
5
% higher in H1 2010 compared with H1 2009. The industrial OE and replacement markets improved on higher industrial demand and restocking. The European market followed a similar trend, with industrial production steadily increasing through the first half of 2010. Asia continued to perform strongly, although there were signs of some softening in the Chinese and Japanese markets, with machinery orders softening towards the end of the period. Sales to the industrial markets in North America, Europe and Asia respectively accounted for 24.1%, 6.2% and 5.0% of I&A's industrial sales in the first half of 2010.
The automotive aftermarket, which comprised 26.8% of I&A's sales in the first half increased in all of the regions in which we operate, assisted by improved consumer confidence levels and restocking activities.
In the automotive OE market, which accounted for 30.9% of I&A's sales, volumes in the first half of 2010 were higher as a result of an improvement in the global automotive markets and weak comparable figures in 2009. Automotive production was up 38% globally in the first half of 2010 compared to the prior year, with volumes in North America up 71% and volumes in Europe up 20%, driven mainly by export demand and stimulus programs within Europe. Compared to the second half of 2009, volumes were also higher, with global volumes up 9%, North American volumes up 16
%
and European volumes up 7%.

Sales were $1,067.5
 
million (H1 2009: $801.1 million), an increase of 33.3% principally due to further strengthening of the automotive markets. Sales in the automotive OE market (40.8% of Power Transmission's sales), were up 52.4% compared to the prior year across all geographies principally due to unprecedentedly low volumes in the prior year as a result of extended plant shutdowns. Sales to the higher margin automotive aftermarket (34.0% of Power Transmission's sales) continued to perform well, increasing by 13.2% predominantly due to restocking by our customers and improved consumer confidence. Sales to the industrial OE and replacement markets continued to be strong, and in the first half were up 38.2% compared to the prior year because of improved demand and restocking.
Adjusted operating profit was $188.4 million (H1 2009: $81.5 million), an increase of 131.2% mainly due to higher volumes in the first half of the year and the benefit of the restructuring initiatives. Adjusted operating margins grew from 10.2% in the first half of 2009 to 17.6% in the first half of 2010.
The construction of the new oil pump and tensioner facility in Izmir, Turkey is now complete and production is currently being transferred from the existing plant in Germany, with approximately 50% of the tensioner manufacturing already transferred. Further expansion of an existing plant in Suzhou, China is also underway to address the increasing demand from Chinese markets.
Power Transmission's restructuring initiatives associated with projects 'Eagle' and 'Cheetah' are substantially complete, with two remaining plants due for closure in 2010: one in Germany and the other in Canada. These are scheduled to be closed during the second half of 2010.
New contract wins in the automotive OE market totalled $
45

Sales were $381.1 million (H1 2009: $281.9 million), an increase of 35.2%. Sales to the industrial OE market (30.2% of Fluid Power's sales) were up 44.3% in H1 2010, due to the continued recovery in industrial markets. Sales to the industrial replacement market (49.7% of Fluid Power's sales) were up 39.4% in H1 2010. Sales to the automotive aftermarket (19.9% of Fluid Power's sales) were up 15.0%. Overall, sales increased compared to H1 2009 due to increased volumes from the recovery in our end markets, combined with the impact of recent acquisitions of Hydrolink and TransHose.
In the first half of the year 62.9% of Fluid Power's sales were to North America, 14.1% to Europe and 23.0% to the rest of the world.
The adjusted operating profit was $
37.4
million (H1 2009: loss of $8.5 million), and improved due to the improvement in sales volumes and the benefits of the restructuring initiatives. In H1 2010, the adjusted operating margin was 9.8% (H1 2009: (3.0
)
%).
The TransHose business, which was acquired in April 2010, has now been fully integrated and is winning new service contracts in the Australian oil and gas market.
Fluid Power's new plant in Changzhou, China has been operational since early 2010, selling locally and also to the European market.

Sensors & Valves includes the Schrader Electronics and Schrader International businesses.
Sales were $201.8 million (H1 2009: $135.0 million) an increase of 49.5% principally as a result of the higher volumes in the automotive OE market (which comprised 76.7% of Sensors & Valves' sales). In the first half of 2009, extended plant shutdowns, which were particularly extensive in the North American automotive OE market, significantly affected sales levels. Schrader International's industrial and automotive aftermarket business, which accounts for the remainder of Sensors & Valves' sales, grew as a result of improving conditions in those markets.
61.1% of Sensors & Valves' sales are to the North American market.
Adjusted operating profit was $21.2 million (H1 2009: loss of $5.6 million), an increase of $26.8 million principally due to higher sales volumes to the North American automotive OE market.
Schrader Electronics continues to focus on expanding its European business, which is expected to benefit from legislation passed last year that will require tyre pressure monitoring systems to be fitted on certain new vehicles from 2014 and new models introduced from 2012. Approximately $60 million of incremental business relating to the European market has already been won by Schrader through its existing contacts. China, Japan and Korea are continuing to work on introducing legislation, with China expected to announce a decision by the end of the year.

Sales were $289.6 million (H1 2009: $229.5 million) an increase of 26.2%. The industrial and utility trailer markets (around 63.2% of Other I&A's sales) increased year-on-year as a result of improving industrial and automotive aftermarket demand and the exceptionally low demand levels experienced in the prior year. Sales into the automotive aftermarket (15.0% of Other I&A's sales) increased mainly because of an improvement in customer confidence and demand for Plews' products.
Adjusted operating profit was $33.8 million (H1 2009: $8.1 million), an increase of $25.7 million due to the improved sales volumes combined with the benefit of restructuring initiatives which were all completed in 2009. In H1 2010 the adjusted operating margin was

Market background

Non-residential construction in North America accounts for 64.4% of Building Products' sales. In the US, non-residential construction declined on a square foot basis by 26% in H1 2010 compared with H1 2009, and by 15% on a value basis (as measured by Dodge). The US Architectural Billings Index, which is regarded as a leading indicator of future commercial construction activity, remained under 50, indicating continued contraction in construction activity for at least the next 9-12 months. Office vacancy rates continued to rise, implying continuing low demand for new office space.
Residential construction in North America accounts for 28.9% of Building Products' sales. The US residential construction market, as measured by housing starts, remained broadly flat for the majority of the first half, however declined in May and June following the removal of the government's tax credits. Overall, housing starts grew by 14% in H1 2010 compared with the prior year (according to the NAHB). Housing inventories, at 7.6 months for new homes and 8.9 months for existing homes still exceed the 10-year averages which are 6.0 months for new homes and 5.9 months for existing homes which implies limited further increase in construction activity for the foreseeable future. Existing home sales, which were assisted by the large number of foreclosures, were up 14% in the first half of 2010, and new home sales were down 3%.
The balance of Building Products' sales relate to regions outside of North America.

Sales were $419.9 million (H1 2009: $446.2 million), a decline of 5.9%. Sales into the non-residential construction markets continued to decline year-on-year as a result of declining market conditions, however orders and backlogs remained stronger than expected through the first half of the year. As a result, sales in the non-residential businesses which accounted for 77.6% of Air Distribution's sales, only declined by 3.4% year-on-year. During the first half of 2010, Ruskin supplied a further 200 stores with Energy Recovery Ventilators, worth a total of approximately $2.8 million. Ruskin is also working on its third test store with a major retailer in Canada with over 200 stores, with a view to supplying all 200 stores commencing in 2011. Contracts worth around $10 million in the nuclear power industry have been won this year and are due to start in 2011 and 2012. Tunnel dampers for the Brisbane tunnel project, which was won early in the year, are due to start shipping from the second half of 2010, and should contribute around $4 million of sales in 2010. In the UAE, Ruskin Titus Gulf completed the contract to supply dampers to the Green line, the second metro line in Dubai.
Sales to the residential construction market (22.4% of Air Distribution's sales) declined in H1 2010 due to the continued weakness of the residential construction market.
Adjusted operating profit was $38.8 million (H1 2009: $35.7 million), an increase of 8.7% as the benefits of restructuring initiatives offset the impact of reduced sales volumes in both the residential and non-residential construction markets. In H1 2010, the adjusted operating margin grew from 8.0% to 9.2% on 5.9% lower sales volumes.
In February 2010, the Group acquired Koch Filter Corporation, a leading manufacturer of air filters for the non-residential filtration replacement market. This builds on the Group's filtration capabilities and green product strategy within the non-residential market. Koch Filter, which has now been fully integrated into the Group, contributed sales of $15.4 million in the first half of 2010 with an adjusted operating margin of 12.9
%.

Sales were $67.6 million (H1 2009: $73.4 million), a decline of 7.9%. Bathware sells primarily to the US residential construction and remodelling market, which continued to be weak throughout the first half of the year and declined further towards the end of the period. Adjusted operating losses improved by 41.1% on 7.9% lower sales to reach $3.3 million (H1 2009: loss of $5.6
 
million) due to the continued benefit from the completed cost reduction and restructuring initiatives. The adjusted operating margin improved from (7.6)% to (4.9)%.
In January 2010, the operations of Lasco Bathware were renamed Aquatic Co.

 

Discontinued operations

In H1 2010, the Group recognised an additional loss of $4.1 million (net of tax) in relation to businesses sold in previous years (H1 2009: $nil).
 
3.2   FINANCIAL REVIEW

Net finance costs

Net interest payable was $11.8 million (H1 2009: $18.6 million) with the decline principally due to lower average net debt during the period.
Net finance costs in relation to post-employment benefits were $4.1 million, unchanged compared with the first half of 2009.
Other finance expense of $2.5 million (H1 2009: income of $0.3 million) principally represents changes in the fair value of translational hedging instruments.

Income tax expense

During the first half of 2010, the income tax expense attributable to continuing operations was $68.2 million (H1 2009: $3.2 million) on a profit before tax of $261.1 million (H1 2009: loss before tax of $114.9 million).
After adjusting for the items excluded from operating profit in arriving at adjusted operating profit and the tax attributable to those items, the income tax expense was $69.2 million (H1 2009: $27.7 million) on a profit before tax of $276.6 million (H1 2009: $59.9 million). On this basis the Group's effective tax rate is expected to be 25% for 2010 as whole
.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share from continuing operations were 19.78 cents (H1 2009: loss per share of 14.07 cents).
Adjusted diluted earnings per share were 21.22 cents (H1 2009: 2.99 cents).

Cash flow

Cash generated from operations was $100.4 million (H1 2009: $74.7 million). Working capital increased by $228.5 million in the first half of 2010 to stand at $875.2 million at the period end (H1 2009: $934.2 million). Although working capital increased, average working capital as a percentage of sales to the end of the first half of 2010 declined to 17.2% compared with 20.0% for 2009, reflecting the Group's working capital reduction initiatives.
Cash outflow on restructurings was $8.1 million (H1 2009: $34.6 million), net of proceeds on asset sales of $21.1 million (H1 2009: $0.9 million).
Gross capital expenditure in the first half of 2010 was $55.7 million (H1 2009: $61.6 million) and is expected to be around $150 million for 2010 as a whole (2009: $123.0 million). Excluding the proceeds on asset sales arising from restructurings, net capital expenditure was $54.4 million (H1 2009: $61.0 million), representing 0.6 times depreciation (H1 2009: 0.7 times).
Trading cash flow was $67.1 million (H1 2009: $14.6 million).

Borrowings

The Group has committed borrowing facilities and bonds in issue amounting to $1,205.8 million.
Two bonds have been issued under the Group's £750 million Euro Medium Term Note Programme: £150 million repayable in December 2011 and £250 million repayable in September 2015.
The Group also has a £400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that expires later this month. As at 3 July 2010, the Group had no drawings against this facility. When the existing facility expires, it will be replaced by a $450 million forward-start committed bank facility which expires in May 2012.
Overall, as at 3 July 2010 the Group had committed borrowing headroom of $588.6 million in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $335.0 million.

Post-retirement benefits

During the first half of 2010, the net liability recognised in respect of the Group's defined benefit pension plans increased by $34.9 million to $235.0 million, due principally to a decline in the discount rates applicable to the pension obligation.
Cash contributions to defined benefit pension plans were $18.3 million (H1 2009 $25.3 million) and are expected to be in the region of $40 million for 2010 as a whole.
An analysis of the change in the net liability is presented in note 20 to the accompanying financial statements.
Following the closure to future service accrual of the Group's principal defined benefit plans in the US and Canada at the end of September 2009, eligible employees were offered the opportunity to participate in replacement defined contribution pension plans. As a result, the defined contribution expense increased to $14.8 million (H1 2009: $12.0 million).

Acquisitions

In February 2010, the Group acquired Koch Filter Corporation, a leading manufacturer of air filters for the non-residential filtration market in the US and, in April, it acquired TransHose Corporation, a hydraulic hose supplier to the mining industry in Australia. Both of these acquisitions were for cash totalling up to $40.6 million (including, in the case of TransHose Corporation, up to $1.9 million contingent on its sales and profitability over the next three years).

Interim dividend

As a result of the recent Offer by a consortium of Onex Corporation and CPPIB which has been recommended by the Independent Directors, at the present time there will be no interim dividend for 2010.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Details of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group were set out on pages 34 to 37 of the 2009 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the Company's website. In summary, those risks and uncertainties were as follows: risks associated with the economic downturn and uncertainty about the timing of sustained recovery (in particular those affecting the US automotive and construction industries); risks arising from restrictions on the availability of credit; the cost and availability of production inputs; risks associated with the Group's supply chain; risks associated with the Group's ability to attract and retain talented employees, execution risk associated with new strategic investments (in particular, in emerging economies); and the inherent risk of product liability claims.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are largely unchanged since the approval of the 2009 Annual Report and each of them has the potential to affect the Group's results or financial position during the remainder of 2010.

Going concern

While conditions in most of our end markets continued to improve in the first half of 2010, performance in the second half is unlikely to be as strong. However, based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in the Group's trading performance, the Directors believe that the Group has adequate financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group's financial statements.

6.     END MARKET OUTLOOK FOR 2010

Whilst the first half of 2010 has seen strong performance, albeit against a particularly weak comparable period, there are some signs in recent weeks that some of our end markets are softening.
Set out below are our current expectations for our end markets for the second half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2010 and for 2010 as a whole compared to 2009. The share of Group sales shown below is based on sales of ongoing segments for the 12 months ended 3 July 2010.
 
Industrial


North America
Europe
Rest of World
(18.0% of Group sales)
(4.7% of Group sales)
(7.0% of Group sales)
North American industrial markets are expected to slow as a result of the completion of restocking activities. The second half is expected to decline by 5-10% compared to the first half.
Industrial original equipment and replacement activity in Europe is expected to be broadly flat in the second half compared to the first half.
Industrial activity across the remainder of Tomkins' geographical markets is expected to grow by around 5% in the second half compared to the first half.
Automotive aftermarket


(21.9% of Group sales - North America: 12.1
%, Europe: 6.8%, Asia: 1.4%, Rest of World: 1.6%)
The automotive aftermarket in North America and Europe is expected to grow by approximately 3-5% in the second half of 2010 compared to the second half of 2009, down from the 12-13% growth seen in the first half of the year.
Automotive OE


Global
( 25.0% of Group sales)


The global automotive OE market is expected to grow by 12-15%, to around 65 million units in 2010, with 2010 second half volumes down by around 7% compared to the first half.
North America
Europe
Rest of World
(10.6% of Group sales)
(5.4% of Group sales)
(9.0% of Group sales)
North American automotive OE production is expected to grow from 8.6 million units to around 11.0 million units in 2010. Volumes in the second half of 2010 are expected to be around 5% lower than the first half.
European automotive OE production is expected to remain flat at around 16.5 million units in 2010, with the second half of 2010 expected to be around 15% lower than the first half.
The Group's other major geographical markets are expected to grow by around 15% in 2010, with the second half of 2010 expected to be around 7% lower than the first half.
Non-residential construction


(14.4% of Group sales)
 
 
US non-residential construction is expected to be flat in value terms for the second half of 2010 compared to the first half, and to decline by around 5-10
%
in square footage terms.
Residential construction


(6.9% of Group sales)
 
 
US residential construction, as measured by housing starts, is expected to decline by approximately 10% in the second half of 2010 compared to the first half and to be less than 600,000 units for the year as a whole, as a result of the continued weakness in the market and the removal of the Government tax credit scheme.
Other markets include manufactured housing and recreational vehicles and in total account for 2.1% of Group sales.

7.     KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Background
We assess the financial performance of our businesses using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are particularly important and are 'key performance measures'. Some of those measures are termed 'non-GAAP' measures because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. An explanation of these measures and the limitations of non-GAAP measures is set out on pages 151 to 153 of the 2009 Annual Report. We outline below the performance measures to which we refer in this announcement.
Adjusted operating profit
Adjusted operating profit represents operating profit before specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. During the periods under review, the items excluded from operating profit in arriving at adjusted operating profit were as follows:
a)     the amortisation of intangible assets arising on acquisitions;
b)     acquisition costs;
c)     costs relating to the Offer (see note 23 to the accompanying financial statements);
d)     impairments, comprising impairments of goodwill and intangible assets arising on acquisitions and material impairments of other assets;
e)     restructuring costs;
f)     the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses; and
g)     in 2009, the gain recognised on amendments to certain post-employment benefit plans in North America.
Adjusted operating profit is the measure of segment profit that we present under IFRS. However, when presented on a consolidated basis, adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of operating profit to adjusted operating profit for the Group's continuing operations is presented on page 13.
Adjusted operating margin
Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating profit expressed as a percentage of sales. Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP measure when presented on a consolidated basis.
Underlying change in sales and adjusted operating profit
We define the underlying change in a performance measure as the period-on-period change excluding the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation into US dollars of the results of certain of the Group's operations and the contribution before organic growth of businesses that were acquired or disposed of during the current and prior periods. Underlying changes in sales and adjusted operating profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations identifying the underlying change in sales and adjusted operating profit of the Group's continuing operations are presented on page 14.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation. A reconciliation of adjusted operating profit to adjusted EBITDA is presented in note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure that is based on earnings from continuing operations adjusted for the specific items excluded from operating profit in arriving at adjusted operating profit and the tax effects of those items. We calculate adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share using the average number of shares that would be used in calculating the equivalent measures under IFRS as described in note 11 to the accompanying financial statements.
Trading cash flow
Trading cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash generated from operations less net capital expenditure (cash outflows on the purchase of property, plant and equipment and non-integral computer software, less proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment). A reconciliation of cash generated from operations to trading cash flow is presented in the analysis of the movement in net debt on page 15.
Average operating working capital as a percentage of sales
Average operating working capital (the thirteen-month average of operating working capital) expressed as a percentage of sales.
Net capital expenditure : depreciation
Net capital expenditure expressed as a multiple of the depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment and the amortisation expense for non-integral computer software.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents trading cash flow net of cash flows in relation to tax, interest and certain other items (principally dividends received from associates and cash flows involving minority shareholders). A reconciliation of cash generated from operations to free cash flow is presented in the analysis of the movement in net debt on page 15.
Net debt
Net debt represents the net total of bank overdrafts, bank and other loans, finance lease obligations and the carrying amount of derivatives used to hedge translational exposures, less cash and cash equivalents and collateralised cash (included in trade and other receivables). An analysis of net debt is presented in note 13 to the accompanying financial statements.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO TOMKINS PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by Tomkins plc ('the Company') to review the condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, 'the Group') for the six months ended 3 July 2010, which comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 23. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the condensed financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the Group's annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted for use in the European Union. The condensed financial statements contained in this half-yearly report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34'), as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed financial statements contained in the half-yearly report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed financial statements for the six months ended 3 July 2010 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Six months ended 3 July 2010
 
1       Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial statements for the six months ended 3 July 2010 have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
The Group's annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted for use in the European Union. Except as described below, the Group's accounting policies are unchanged compared with the year ended 2 January 2010.
At the beginning of the period, the Group adopted the following accounting pronouncements that are relevant to its operations, none of which had any significant impact on its results or financial position during the first half of 2010:
·     
IFRS 3 (Revised 2008) 'Business Combinations'
·     
IAS 27 (Revised 2008) 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'
·     
Amendments to IFRS 2 'Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions'
·     
'Improvements to IFRSs 2008', that could not be adopted without also adopting IAS 27 Revised (2008)
·     
'Improvements to IFRSs 2009'
An outline of each of the above pronouncements was provided on pages 75 and 76 of the 2009 Annual Report. IFRS 3 (Revised 2008) and IAS 27 (Revised 2008) apply prospectively to acquisitions and disposals of interests in businesses completed on or after 3 January 2010.
The condensed financial statements have been reviewed by the auditors, Deloitte LLP, and their review report is set out on page 17.
The condensed financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts. The statutory accounts of Tomkins plc for the year ended 2 January 2010, on which the auditors gave an unqualified report that did not draw attention to any matters of emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The condensed financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 5 August 2010.
2       Segment information - Continuing operations
A)      BACKGROUND
The Group's operating segments are identified by grouping together businesses that manufacture similar products, as this is the basis on which information is provided to the Board for the purposes of allocating resources within the Group and assessing the performance of the Group's businesses. The Group is organised for management reporting purposes into two principal business groups: Industrial & Automotive and Building Products.
Industrial & Automotive manufactures a wide range of systems and components for car, truck and industrial equipment manufacturing markets, and industrial and automotive aftermarkets throughout the world. Industrial & Automotive is comprised of four ongoing operating segments: Power Transmission, Fluid Power, Sensors & Valves and Other Industrial & Automotive.
Building Products is comprised of two ongoing operating segments: Air Distribution and Bathware. Air Distribution supplies the industrial and residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning market, mainly in North America. Bathware manufactures baths and whirlpools for the residential, and hotel and resort development markets, mainly in North America.
During 2010, to reflect better the Group's global presence, the geographical information has been expanded to show separately 'Rest of North America' and 'Asia'. Both of these regions were previously included in 'Rest of the world'.
Comparative information for 2009 has been re-presented to reflect these changes.
 
B)      MEASURE OF SEGMENT PROFIT OR LOSS
The Board uses adjusted operating profit to measure the profitability of each segment. Adjusted operating profit is, therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented in the Group's segment disclosures. Adjusted operating profit represents operating profit before specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of the Group's businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.
During the periods under review, the items excluded from operating profit in arriving at adjusted operating profit were as follows:
·     
the amortisation of intangible assets arising on acquisitions;
·     
acquisition costs;
·     
costs relating to the Offer (see note 23);
·     
impairments, comprising impairments of goodwill and intangible assets arising on acquisitions and material impairments of other assets;
·     
restructuring costs;
·     
the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses; and
·     
in 2009, the gain recognised on amendments to certain post-employment benefit plans in North America.

4       Restructuring Initiatives
A)      RESTRUCTURING COSTS       
Restructuring costs recognised during the first half of 2010 principally arose in relation to the cessation of Power Transmission's manufacturing operations in Aachen, Germany and at various locations in North America, the closure of Fluid Power's hose manufacturing and warehousing activities in Erembodegem, Belgium and the closure of Air Distribution's Brockville plant in Ontario, Canada.
 
B)      DISPOSALS AND EXIT OF BUSINESSES
During the first half of 2010, the Group realised a net gain of $4.2 million on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, principally as a consequence of the restructuring of Bathware and the closure of Doors & Windows. However, a loss of $3.2 million was recognised in relation to the disposal of a subsidiary in 2008 and on the disposal of Hydrolink's operations in Kazakhstan.

11     earnings per share
a)      Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of the Company's ordinary shares in issue during the period. The weighted average number of the Company's ordinary shares in issue during the period excludes 1,586,715 shares (6 months ended 4 July 2009: 3,818,636 shares; year ended 2 January 2010: 3,962,756 shares), being the weighted average number of own shares held during the period.
Diluted earnings per share takes into account the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of the Company's ordinary shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of:
·     
options and awards over 10,321,120 shares (6 months ended 4 July 2009: 19,712,594 shares; year ended 2 January 2010: 16,091,420 shares) whose exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period and were therefore dilutive; and
·     
options and awards over 2,394,914 shares in the six months ended 4 July 2009 and 2,793,494 shares in the year ended 2 January 2010 whose exercise prices were exceeded by the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during these periods and were, therefore, theoretically dilutive but were not taken into account in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the Group incurred a loss in those periods.

A)      Current period acquisitions

Industrial & Automotive

Fluid Power
On 13 April 2010, the Group acquired a 100% interest in TransHose corporation, a hydraulic hose supplier to the mining industry in Australia, for A$3.0 million in cash plus up to A$2.0 million in cash over three years contingent on the sales and profitability of the acquired business. Based on the initial estimate of the fair value of TransHose's assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition, the Group has recognised provisional goodwill of $2.9 million on the acquisition.
Following the completion of the initial accounting for Hydrolink, which was acquired in July 2009, the attributable goodwill was reduced by $1.4 million, principally due to a reduction in the estimate of contingent consideration payable on the acquisition.

Building Products

Air Distribution
On 26 February 2010, the Group acquired a 100% interest in Koch Filter Corporation ('Koch'), a leading manufacturer of air filters for the non-residential filtration market in the US, for $35.5 million in cash. Based on the initial estimate of the fair value of Koch's assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition, the Group has recognised provisional goodwill of $21.4 million on the acquisition.

(0.3)
- Deferred consideration
2.4 
 
41.1 
Goodwill recognised on acquisitions during the period is principally attributable to the expected synergies that will result from the acquisitions. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Businesses acquired during the first half of 2010 contributed $16.0 million to the Group's sales and increased the Group's profit for the period by $1.9 million. If these businesses had been acquired at the beginning of 2010, it is estimated that the Group's sales for the first half of 2010 would have been $6.5 million higher, at $2,434.0 million, but it is not practicable to estimate what the Group's profit for the period would have been because they did not prepare balance sheets in accordance with IFRS as at 2 January 2010.
Acquisition costs of $0.4 million were recognised during the period and are included in administrative expenses.
22     Contingencies
The Group is, from time to time, party to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Directors do not anticipate that the outcome of any current proceedings or known claims, either individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Group's financial position.
