For the six months period ended 30th September 2014
In compliance with the requirements of the “Securities Act, Cap 354 of the Laws of Zambia and the Listing Rules of the Lusaka Stock Exchange, ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc announces the unaudited results for the six months period ended 30th September 2014.
Financial Performance
The Group achieved a turnover of K188.6 million for the six month period ended 30th September 2014 which was 7% below the turnover of K203.7 million achieved during the six months to 30th September 2013. The decline in Group turnover was mainly as a result of a decrease in dividends earned from K45.2 million during the same period in 2013 to K27.1 million in the six months ended 30th September 2014. Further ,turnover for Ndola Lime Company Limited decreased by 19% to K96.1 million for the period ended 30th September 2014 (September 2013: K118.4 million). However, Interest Income increased by 63% to K65.2 million (September 2013:K40 million).
Dividends were earned from Kansanshi Mining Plc (K22.6 million) and Chibuluma Mines Plc. (K4.5 million).
Interest earned from treasury placements and fixed deposits amounted to K15.4 million (September 2013: K1.2 million). Other income earned was K9.9 million (September 2013: K3 million comprising mainly of Management fees amounting to K3.9 million (September 2012:K2.6 million). The cost of turnover was K129.6 million for the period to 30th September 2014 (September 2013: K130 million). The Group realized an operating profit of K59 million which was lower than K73.7 million earned in the same period in 2013.
The Group recorded share of losses of Associate Companies of K45.2 million (September 2013: Profit: K97.5 million).Overall the performance of the Associate Companies was weak over the period. Konkola Copper Mines Plc and Lubambe Copper Mine Limited recorded losses, while Kansanshi Mining Plc recorded a profit during the period under review. The price of copper reduced to US$6,748 per ton as at 30 September 2014 compared to US$7,300 per ton as at 30th September 2013 representing an 8% decrease. As a result, the Group recorded an operating loss of K49 million (September 2013: Profit K165 million).
The Group’s Shareholders’ Funds increased to K8,567 million from K4,759 million in 2013 mainly on account of the recapitalization by way of conversion of the K1.9 Billion debt into equity by the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ). The recapitalization of the Company has significantly strengthened ZCCM-IH’s balance sheet and positioned the Company to take on new opportunities.
