GENERAL INFORMATION
G4S (Botswana) Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2003 of Botswana and domiciled in Botswana.The financial statements comprise the company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the 'Group').
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The abridged financial statements have been extracted from the audited annual financial statements, which have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") under the historical cost convention, as modified by the measurement of assets held for disposal at fair value. This extract has not been reviewed by the auditors.The accounting policies followed in preparation of the annual financial statements are consistent with those applied in the prior year.
The Company's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, have issued an unqualified audit opinion of the annual financial statements on which these abridged annual financial statements are based. A copy of their opinion and the full set of annual financial statements are available for inspection at the registered office of the Company. Any investment decisions by investors should be based on consideration of such a complete set of consolidated financial statements
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Amendments to IFRS effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2021 have been addressed during the year. New accounting standards and interpretations that have been published that are not effective for 31 December 2021 reporting periods have not been early adopted by the Group.These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity or its transactions in the current or future reporting periods.
USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of 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. In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE YEAR ON YEAR COMPARISON
Revenue for the period increased by 2.2% year on year (-3.2% PY) showing a marginal improvement in the national appetite for security spend following the emergence of the economy from a COVID-19 lockdown marred 2020. Our manned guarding (+6.9%, P5.5m) and cash (+4.6%, P2.7m) service lines showed year on year growth on the back of an increased focus to leverage our relationships with our trading partners, while our electronic services service line declined (-8.1%, -P4m) owing to the emergence of new entrants at low service rates into the alarm monitoring and response market.The lingering impact of COVID-19 on household expenditure, being the primary driver for the price sensitivity of the residential sector, has seen alarm customers reducing services due to affordability, or migrating services to the cheapest available alternative.
Gross profit for the period declined by 9.2% attributable to the revenue mix of the Group, with revenue increasing in less profitable service lines while simultaneously seeing a revenue reduction in more profitable service lines.The increase in the price of fuel for the entity also had a significant impact on profitability, increasing 55% year on year, while the period also saw increased maintenance costs incurred for vehicles which were not in use during 2020 due to the reduced service requirement at that time.The business is managing the increasing cost base through the bulk purchase of fuel, while maintenance costs will reduce through the replacement of our ageing fleet as part of our asset replacement plan.
Other income declined by 77.7% compared to the prior period owing to the non-recurrence of P9m COVID-19 aid received from the government in 2020 through the wage subsidy. Profit before tax however increased by 21.2% owing to a recovery in the expected credit loss allowance for the period of P3.8m (-P3.6m PY) as well as the non-recurrence of goodwill impairment of P8.4m recognised in 2020. Administrative expenses reduced by P2.8m year on year.
The group expects to increase the price of its services in the cash and manned guarding service lines in 2022 to recover the continued increase of the cost of providing services.
OUTLOOK
The Group continues to focus on growing revenue following growth in both our cash solutions and manned guarding service lines during the period under review.With the COVID-19 impact on the economy taking longer than expected to subside, the Group is deploying new and innovative ways of offering our products and services efficiently and in a more affordable manner to our customers.The heightened national security risk, observable from security events reported during the last quarter of 2021, has bolstered our resolve to invest in modern security technology to better and safely serve our customers, and offers an opportunity to design modern security offerings to the market across all service lines.We will continue driving the sale of integrated security solutions to ensure that we remain at the forefront of security capability in Botswana.The deployment of integrated security solutions is expected to yield a long-term improvement in margins compared to traditional security offerings and aligns the company to market demands in a post COVID-19 environment.The acquisition of G4S globally by Allied Universal provides an opportunity to tap into new cutting-edge technology, which enables us to deliver improved solutions tailored to our customers, and we plan to introduce these exciting offerings into the local market in the year ahead. A combination of these factors and the growth trajectory experienced this year, makes us confident that the year ahead will generate greater value for all our stakeholders. It is our firm belief that the market still offers attractive growth opportunities despite the various challenges that exist.
NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Group decided to dispose the operations of its subsidiary, G4S Facility Management Botswana (Proprietary) Limited in 2020. The sale was however delayed pending the outcome of litigation matters brought against the entity during 2021, and was not finalised during the 2021 financial period. The Board is of the view that these matters have been reasonably resolved, and the anticipated disposal date of the entity is August 2022.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There has been no significant change in the nature of related party transactions from those reported in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE
There were no significant events that occurred after the reporting date that require adjustment to or disclosure in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographic segment) which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.The business activities of the Group are concentrated in the segment of security related services and are provided within the geographical region of Botswana, therefore geographical segmental information is not considered necessary.
Management identifies three of its five service lines as its reportable segments.The Executive Management monitors the performance of these service lines and makes decisions on the allocation of resources to them. Segmental performance is monitored using adjusted segment operating results. Revenue and assets of reportable segments exceed 10 per cent of the consolidated revenue and assets reported by the Group.
