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 consolidated financial results of G4S (Botswana) Limited and its subsidiary are extracted from the Group financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The financial information is presented in Botswana Pula. The board approved the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 for issue on 10 May 2023.The prior year results have been represented due to change in intention not to dispose of investment in subsidiary. Following the change in intention to sell the G4S Facilities management business, the financial statements have been restated to consolidate the previously held for sale business.The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and it has been established that the company will be in operation in the foreseable future.

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 2022 have been addressed during the year. New accounting standards and interpretations that have been published that are not effective for 31 December 2022 reporting periods have not been 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 expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies, and the key sources of estimation were similar to those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for deferred tax asset which was raised as a result of taxable loss which was recognised in 2022.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE YEAR ON YEAR COMPARISON

The Group Revenue performance for the period increased by 6.45% year on year driven primarily by good growth in the Manned guarding (MSS) service line. The top line growth was despite the contract losses experienced during the period under review primarily because of the new citizen economic empowerment legislation.The Cash service line grew marginally by 4% while the Electronic Security Systems (ESS) remained largely unchanged as it continues to experience intense competition from new entrants particularly in the Alarm monitoring and response (AMR) space. A Price Increase (PI) was levied on our MSS customers in January 2022 following a statutory wage increase by the Government which had a marginal impact on the revenue line. Additionally, a marginal inflationary adjustment was passed to some of our cash customers (fuel surcharge) as a response to the abnormally high fuel prices experienced during the year while in the Security systems service line the business passed a 5% increase in pricing to monthly customers from July 2022.

The significant decline in gross profit for the year was as a result of the abnormal price increases on fuel

  • fuel expenses increased by 88% for the full year, compared to prior year adding significantly to total cost. Additionally due to the heightened security risk environment, the business invested in enhanced security upgrades to its infrastructure specifically in the cash service line (investment in live monitoring of all cash vehicles) which further added to the cost of providing service putting further pressure to total costs.

The significant miss in Gross Profit (GP) largely drives the decline in the profit before tax (PBT) year on year. Added to the PBT decline is the increase in administrative expenses owing to the normalisation of the alarm monitoring and response (AMR) teams wherein from September 2021 Management added back the full crew complement to the AMR response crew structure which had been reduced during 2020 - effectively experiencing the full cost of this change in the whole of 2022 while in 2021 this was only experienced for 4 months. We saw an increase in movement in credit loss allowances from a gain of P4.4 million (2021) to a loss of P4.3 million (2022).The P8.7 million swing was triggered mainly by a higher loss given default (LGD) percentage applied to the 2022 receivables above 365 days, compared to 2021 which was lower.

Additionally other income did not yield a comparatively higher interest as compared to prior year as a result of the prevailing investment climate with lower yield effectively shedding over 65% compared to the prior year.

OUTLOOK

The Group continues to focus on growing revenue following encouraging increases in revenue quarter on quarter for both Q3 and Q4 2022, indicating that revenue lost during H1 2022 is systematically being recovered. We will continue driving the sale of integrated security solutions to ensure that we remain at the forefront of security capability in Botswana.The trading conditions remain challenging with significantly fewer opportunities than in prior years (primarily due to CEE legislation). As a response, Management continues to drive its commercial strategy of focusing on industry-specific growth (such as the retail growth strategy that has driven the H2 MSS revenue growth. The infusion of technology into our service offering has also been successful as a revenue driver. Specific focus for the year is on cost management with driving efficiencies across the business and continued fuel management aimed at managing profitability. Despite the reduced performance of the company, in lieu of stated reasons, the Board of Directors and Management are confident of the company's going concern status and will continue to work hard towards improved profitability in the foreseeable future.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The G4S subsidiary ¨G4S Facilities Management Pty (Ltd) were held for sale in 2021, however in 2022

it ceased to be held for sale and hence its results fully consolidated with G4S Botswana Limited results. Currently the company does not have any intention to sell the subsidiary.

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 2021.

EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE
