© Howden Group Howden Africa Interim Results Highlights Challenging trading conditions in the first six months. Weak demand for environmental and mining capital projects across all the served market segments. Highlight was the sales and margin for aftermarket (spares and service supply) within the Fans and Heat Exchangers division. Balance sheet is healthy and the company remains debt free.

The market environment for spares and service supply (aftermarket) was robust with aftermarket growing from 59% to 69% of the businesses total revenue. Major changes in revenue by industry was a drop in Mining to 16% (2015: 19%) and a increase in Power to 59% (2015: 55%). ORDERS in Africa will continue, and should opportunities in the future.

© Howden Group © Howden Group Questions?
© Howden Group Q: Can you provide more detail in respect of the environmental division pipeline? The environmental division centres around gas cleaning and water treatment. Our customer contact starts well in advance of contract awards with Howden providing technical advice. Hence we are managing the pipeline proactively. Q: Can you provide more detail in respect of the sustainability of the aftermarket business? There is a strong installed base and our products operate in arduous conditions which will always require replacement parts. Q: When do you expect profitability from the new fabrication business? There is great opportunity with the business as we have a low market share. As a start up, we have incurred start up costs, including costs around recruitment of appropriate skills. The business has made profit in the last few months. As a new business we are currently better understanding our routes to market via distributors and end-users. However, we are conscious not to take on sales that impact profitability. Shareholder Q & A’s
© Howden Group Q: What is you thoughts on the working capital outlook in H2 and how will the new fabrication division influence that? The Company has historically been a good cash generator and over a 3 year average target cash conversion of circa 100% Operating Profit to Operating Cash. The company will strive for a good working capital performance in H2. We have however seen customers put additional focus on their own working capital through reduced supplier payment terms in these difficult economic times. The new fabrication division will have an impact on working capital as we are required to keep some form of inventory. As this is a new business we are still better understanding the business working capital requirements. Q: What do you think the impact of new fabrication division will be on group margins? The new fabrication division is a start-up and is unlikely to be material for some time to the overall Howden business. it is still too early to determine the impact and we should have a better feel after another 6 months of trading. Q: Do you envisage a consistent revenue stream from the new fabrication business? We do expect the business to generate a consistent revenue stream going forward. Shareholder Q & A’s
© Howden Group Q: Is there any update in respect of the BEE deal? The is nothing new to add at this time. Q: Are the working capital requirements still around R150 million and of the approximate R750 million cash in hand. If so, what do we intend to do with the remainder of the cash? The working capital requirements remain around R150 million. The board is actively investigating option to utilise the cash. Q: What is the group’s management fee and is the company intending to hedge this fee? We have provided for 50% of the 2015 full year fee plus a 7% uplift. We did a scenario analysis on potential exchange rate movement and made a decision not to hedge the fee. Shareholder Q & A’s
