Chairman's Statement
Overview
Andrews Sykes' trading continues to be resilient as sectors in
which we trade show ongoing demand, despite the unprecedented
challenge in the form of the coronavirus pandemic. We continue to
be thankful and proud of our team members as they respond as
essential service providers.
The group's revenue for the 6 months ended 30 June 2020 was
GBP33.5 million, a decrease of GBP1.5 million compared with the
same period in 2019. However, the operating profit for the period
was GBP7.0 million compared with GBP6.9 million in 2019, an
increase of GBP0.1 million, reflecting a favourable business mix.
Overall, net funds increased by GBP4.7 million from GBP12.1 million
as at 31 December 2019 to GBP16.8 million as at 30 June 2020.
Operations review
Our main hire and sales businesses in Europe had mixed fortunes.
Turnover at Andrews Sykes Hire in the UK improved by 4.8% compared
with the same period in 2019. However, our businesses in the rest
of Europe were significantly affected by a combination of the
coronavirus pandemic and mild weather. Consequently, the combined
operating profit for these businesses in the first half was GBP1.0
million below the level achieved in 2019.
Andrews Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, our UK air
conditioning installation business, was particularly affected by
the coronavirus pandemic as our engineers were not allowed access
to certain customer sites in order to carry out their work. This
business returned a small operating loss in the first half, GBP0.2
million below the profit returned in 2019.
Khansaheb Sykes, our business based in the UAE, had a difficult
start to the period due to the coronavirus pandemic and reduced
demand during Ramadan. The operating profit of Khansaheb Sykes
decreased by GBP0.1 million compared with the first half of
2019.
Unallocated overheads and central expenses reduced by GBP0.2
million in the period compared with 2019 resulting in an
improvement of GBP0.1 million in operating profit to GBP7.0 million
in 2020 (2019: GBP6.9 million).
Profit for the financial period and Earnings per Share
Profit before tax was GBP7.2 million compared with GBP6.8
million in the same period last year. This increase is attributable
to the GBP0.1 million improvement in operating profit, a net
foreign exchange gain on inter-company balances of GBP0.4 million
(2019: GBPNil) due to the weakening of Sterling compared with the
Euro and the UAE Dirham, and a net increase of GBP0.1 million in
interest charges.
The total tax charge for the period decreased by GBP0.2 million
to GBP1.1 million (2019: GBP1.3 million), an effective tax rate of
16.1% (2019: 19.4%), mainly due to prior year tax credits and an
overall lower effective tax rate applicable to subsidiaries
operating abroad.
Profit after tax was GBP6.1 million (2019: GBP5.5 million).
Basic earnings per share increased by 1.47 pence, or 11.4%, to
14.39 pence (2019: 12.92 pence) reflecting this increase in
profit.
Dividends
The final dividend of 10.50 pence per ordinary share for the
year ended 31 December 2019 was approved by members at the AGM held
on 16 June 2020. Accordingly, on 19 June 2020 the company made a
total dividend payment of GBP4.43 million which was paid to
shareholders on the register as at 29 May 2020.
Post the period end, on 28 August 2020 the company paid a
special interim dividend of 23.7 pence per ordinary share, or
GBP10.0 million in total, to shareholders on the register as at 7
August 2020. This dividend was paid out of the group's substantial
brought forward cash reserves accumulated from previous years
trading, a proportion of which were surplus to the group's
requirements and were therefore returned to shareholders.
The board continues to adopt the policy of returning value to
shareholders whenever possible. The group remains profitable, cash
generative and financially strong. Accordingly, the board has
decided to declare a second interim dividend for 2020 of 11.90
pence per ordinary share which in total amounts to GBP5.0 million.
This will be paid on 6 November 2020 to shareholders on the
register as at 9 October 2020. The ordinary shares will go
ex-dividend on 8 October 2020.
Outlook
Whilst certain of the group's business operations continue to be
affected by the coronavirus pandemic, for example the performance
of our air conditioning business in July and August suffered as
occupation levels of our customers' offices remained low as people
continued to work from home, demand for cooling equipment was
buoyant and pumps in the UK continues to perform in line with last
year's levels. Management remain optimistic that the business will
improve as the economy recovers but are mindful that we live in
uncertain times and circumstances can change very quickly.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (unaudited)
1 General information
Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union and with the Companies Act 2006.
The information for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019 does
not constitute the group's statutory accounts for 2019 as defined
in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for
2019 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified and did not
contain statements under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006. These interim financial statements, which were approved by
the Board of Directors on 29 September 2020, have not been audited
or reviewed by the auditors.
The interim financial statement has been prepared using the
historical cost basis of accounting except for:
(i) Properties held at the date of transition to IFRS which are stated at deemed cost;
(ii) Assets held for sale which are stated at the lower of (i)
fair value less anticipated disposal costs and (ii) carrying
value;
(iii) Derivative financial instruments (including embedded
derivatives) which are valued at fair value; and
(iv) Pension scheme assets and liabilities calculated at fair value in accordance with IAS 19.
Functional and presentational currency
The financial statements are presented in pounds Sterling
because that is the functional currency of the primary economic
environment in which the group operates.
2 Accounting policies
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a
consistent basis and in accordance with the accounting policies set
out in the group's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2019.

The total effective tax charge for the financial period
represents the best estimate of the weighted average annual
effective tax rate expected for the full financial year applying
tax rates that have been substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.UK corporation tax has been provided at 19%, the reduction in
the UK corporation tax rate to 17% that was to be effective from 1
April 2020 was reversed on 11 March 2020. There are currently no
plans announced to change the rate of UK corporation tax from its
current rate.
Deferred tax has been calculated based on the rates that the
directors anticipate will apply when the temporary timing
differences are expected to reverse.

7 Retirement benefit obligations - Defined benefit pension scheme
The group closed the UK Group defined benefit pension scheme to
future accrual as at 29 December 2002. The assets of the defined
benefit pension scheme continue to be held in a separate trustee
administered fund.
As at 30 June 2020 the group had a net defined benefit pension
scheme surplus, calculated in accordance with IAS 19 (revised)
using the assumptions as set out below, of GBP479,000 (30 June
2019: GBP1,286,000; 31 December 2019: GBP1,963,000). The asset has
been recognised in the financial statements as the directors are
satisfied that it is recoverable in accordance with IFRIC 14.
Following the triennial recalculation of the funding deficit as
at 31 December 2016, a revised schedule of contributions and
recovery plan was agreed with the pension scheme trustees in
October 2017. In accordance with this schedule of contributions,
which was backdated to be effective from 1 January 2017, the group
made additional contributions during 2017 to remove the funding
deficit in the group scheme calculated as at 31 December 2016 of
GBP710,000 and this was eliminated by 31 December 2017.
The next formal triennial funding valuation is due as at 31
December 2019. This is currently being worked upon and, subject to
unforeseen circumstances, should be presented to the board of
directors in the Autumn. A draft funding valuation was presented
for discussion in the Summer and the group made a one-off
contribution of GBP600,000 in late May 2020 to largely eliminate
the indicative funding deficit as at 31 December 2019. In addition,
the group has continued to make regular monthly contributions of
GBP10,000 per month during 2020 and therefore the group anticipates
that total contributions to the defined benefit pension scheme
during 2020 will be at least GBP720,000.
Assumptions used to calculate the scheme surplus
A qualified independent actuary has updated the results of the
December 2016 (30 June 2019 and 31 December 2019: December 2016)
full actuarial valuation to calculate the surplus as disclosed
below:
The major assumptions used to determine the present value of the
scheme's defined benefit obligation were:
30 June 30 June 31 December
2020 2019 2019
% % %
Rate of increase in pensionable N/A N/A N/A
salaries
Rate of increase in pensions 2.90 3.20 3.00
in payment
Discount rate applied to scheme 1.40 2.20 2.00
liabilities
Inflation assumption - RPI 2.90 3.20 3.00
Inflation assumption - CPI 1.90 2.20 2.00
Percentage of members taking 75 75 75
maximum tax-free lump sum on
retirement
From 1 January 2011, the government amended the basis for
statutory increases to deferred pensions and pensions in payment.
Such increases are now based on inflation measured by the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) rather than the Retail Price Index (RPI). Having
reviewed the scheme rules and considered the impact of the change
on this pension scheme, the directors consider that future
increases to (i) all deferred pensions and (ii) Guaranteed Minimum
Pensions accrued between 6 April 1988 and 5 April 1997 and
currently in payment will be based on CPI rather than RPI.
Accordingly, this assumption was adopted as at 31 December 2010 and
subsequently.
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based
on advice in accordance with published statistics. The mortality
table used at 30 June 2020 is 100% S3PA CMI2018 (30 June 2019: 110%
S2NA CMI2017; 31 December 2019: 110% S2NA CMI2018) with a 1.25% per
annum long term improvement for both males and females (30 June
2019 and 31 December 2019: 1.25% males and females), heavy tables
for males and medium tables for females.
The assumed average life expectancy in years of a pensioner
retiring at the age of 65 given by the above tables is as
follows:
30 June 30 June 31 December
2020 2019 2019
Male, current age 45 21.0 years 22.8 years 22.8 years
Female, current age 45 25.0 years 24.9 years 25.2 years
Male, current age 65 19.6 years 21.4 years 21.5 years
Female, current age 65 23.5 years 23.4 years 23.7 years
