Endeavour Holdings Limited
The company is involved in rental of prime real estate throughout Trinidad and includes shopping malls, commercial rental (including Class A office buildings) and light industrial properties.
Net Profit for year ended 30 April, 2022 was $43.1M inclusive of fair value adjustment write-up of $12.2M on investment properties as compared to $4.4M for 2021 net of fair value adjustment write-down of $26.4M.
Fair value adjustments on the investment properties have shown an overall improvement as economic recovery from Covid-19 has begun.
Fair value adjustment is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Net Revenue declined by 4% from $72.1M to $69.4M. This was mainly in the shopping mall segment, as discounts were granted to tenants to assist in their recovery. Occupancy levels, however have remained virtually unchanged from the prior year.
Rental expenses decreased by $650K. There were some increases, with repairs and
maintenance, insurances and commissions showing the largest upward movements.
These were offset by the significantly lower discounts given to tenants (2022: $9.4M vs 2021: $12.6M).
Operating expenses decreased by $3.2M owing mainly to the lower bad debt provision and bad debt recoveries.
Finance costs continue to decline steadily at $1.3M below 2021, due to the continued pay-down of the loan principal.
Taxation further decreased to $2.0M, which represents only a deferred tax element.
Amendments to the Finance Act in December 2021 which took effect 1 January 2021, allowed newly listed Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) a full exemption from Corporation Tax for the first five years from listing and 50% of the standard rate of Corporation Tax for the next five years. Listed SMEs are liable to Business Levy and Green Fund Levy at the rate of zero percent for the first five years from listing and 50% of the standard rate would be applicable for the next five years. Thereafter, the standard rates will be applicable.
Statement of Financial Position
Net assets increased from $865.7M in 2021 to $869.5M in 2022. The increase in fair value of Investment properties of $12.2M offset the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $11.0M, primarily due to the dividend payment of $13.2M at 40 cents per share and two principal payments on the bonds versus one in the prior year.
Trade receivables increased to $14.1M, this increase was largely due to the reduction in bad debt provision of $1.3M.
Current liabilities increased from $35.9M to $146.1M due to the inclusion of a balloon payment of $120M due in March 2023, which is due to be refinanced. Trade and other payables decreased by $909K.
Non-current liabilities decreased by $136.7M from $280.4M in 2021 to $143.7M in 2022, primarily due to the payment of the two loan principal instalments as per loan agreement and the reclassification of the balloon payment of $120.0M due in March 2023 to borrowing under current liabilities.
Conclusion
The Company’s financial performance has been consistent over the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic showing growth in profit in 2022.
Further growth is forecasted for 2023 with the acquisition of Massy Properties (Trinidad) Ltd in July 2022 and also the removal of all Covid-19 restrictions.
