Trading and financial performanceThe period was dominated by the successful listing on the JSE of Sea Harvest Group Limited on 23 March 2017. The Group issued 106,333,334 shares at a price of R12.50 per share, raising R1.329 billion of capital. The Company’s shares have traded positively since listing, ending the period 9% up at R13.70 per share.Sea Harvest delivered headline earnings of R111 million for the six months to 30 June 2017 (2016: R35 million), up 217% on the same period last year, benefiting from the improved performance of its South African operations as a result of investments in both fleet and land-based operations; continued strong global demand for Cape Hake; the acquisition of a controlling interest in ASX listed Mareterram in July 2016; and the deleveraging effect on the balance sheet post listing the Group on the JSE.Sea Harvest acquired an initial stake of 19.9% in Mareterram Limited in January 2016 and during the six months ended 30 June 2016 Mareterram was accounted for as an associate. In July 2016, Sea Harvest acquired a controlling stake in Mareterram and it was consolidated into the Group’s results. The comparability of the financial information for six months ended 30 June 2017 with the same period in 2016 is impacted by the consolidation of Mareterram into the Group with effect from 1 July 2016.Group revenue for the period increased by 25% to R1.06  billion compared to the same period last year (2016: R845 million).

The Rand strengthened by 16% in the period compared with the same period last year, which impacted South African operations’ revenue. However this was offset by firm pricing and strong demand across all channels and markets, resulting in South African operations’ revenue decreasing marginally by 2%. Sales volumes were in line with the same period last year, after a 5% quota reduction.South African operations’ export  volumes increased by 11% and export volume mix grew to 43% from 39% in the same period last year, as the business continued to focus on higher margin sales. Export revenue increased by 3% after a 16% strengthening of the Rand across the currencies in which Sea Harvest trades.Revenue from Mareterram, which was consolidated from July 2016, contributed R227  million to the Group’s revenue for the period. Mareterram’s revenue for the period increased by 42% compared to the first half of 2016, which was its first six months of trading since listing on the ASX in January 2016, driven by volume growth and favourable pricing.The Group delivered gross profit of R354 million for the period (2016: R270 million) and the gross profit margin  improved to 33%  (2016: 32%), despite the impact of the stronger Rand. The South African operations contributed R291  million to gross profit. The expansion in gross profit margin was  driven by efficiency improvements as a result of the investments in factory freezer vessel capacity and land-based factory efficiency improvements, together with higher export volumes and price increases across the board, which buffered the impact of the stronger Rand. Mareterram contributed R63  million to gross profit, with a gross profit margin of 28%.Other operating income of R44  million (2016: R5 million) includes a R30 million foreign exchange hedge gain and a R14 million fair value gain.Group operating expenses for the period increased by 9% from R198  million in 2016 to R216 million in 2017. This increase included once-off costs of R18 million relating to the restructuring of the Group and the listing on the JSE.

The Group delivered EBIT of R206 million during the period (2016: R83 million), an increase of 147% over 2016,  and an EBIT margin of 19.5% (2016: 9.9%). Mareterram contributed R13 million to EBIT for the period. In addition, Group  EBIT for the period included a R23 million gain on the disposal of Sea Harvest’s 49.81% interest in a joint venture on 1 January 2017.The Group reported earnings per share (EPS) of 67.0  cents  (2016: 26.1  cents)  and headline earnings per share  (HEPS) of 56.6 cents  (2016: 24.6 cents), an increase of 157% and 130% respectively, with both measures benefiting from the improved operating performance of the South African operation and the inclusion of Mareterram’s result.The weighted average number of shares (WANOS) for the period used for the calculation of EPS and HEPS is 195,379,525 and  there were 239,973,603 shares (excluding treasury shares) in issue at the reporting date. At the beginning of the period, there were 849,242,000 shares (excluding treasury shares) in issue. During the period, there was a 1:6 share consolidation and 3,500,000 shares (excluding treasury shares) were repurchased. On 23 March 2017, the Group listed on the JSE and 101,933,269 shares (excluding treasury shares) were issued.

Cash flow and financial positionGroup cash generated from operations for the period of R142  million, was 8% higher than the prior year, with the improved operating performance being partly offset by higher levels of working capital. The Group utilised R48 million in investing activities relating to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment during the period. At the end of the period the group had a positive cash balance of R316 million. Following the listing and capital raise, the Group is well capitalised. All preference share capital, including accrued dividends, shareholder loans and third party debt in the South African operations were settled at listing.To supplement the cash on hand, Sea Harvest has concluded a revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which are earmarked for internal projects and acquisitions in South Africa and Australia.

DividendsNo interim dividend is declared or proposed for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

OutlookInternational demand continues to be strong for high value wild caught species such as Cape Hake and Shark Bay Prawns. The Rand has weakened compared to the average for the first half of the year and the hedges in place for the second half of the year are more favourable than the first half of the year. Local market volumes have declined as a result of a stagnant economic environment, but this is expected to be offset by continued inflation in the category due to limited supply.Revenue from Mareterram in the second half of the year is expected to be higher than the first half of the year due to the seasonal nature of the business.All bank debt and shareholder loans within the South African operations were settled on listing and as a result, finance costs in the second half of the year are expected to reduce considerably, unless cash on hand and available facilities are utilised to fund growth.There is a good pipeline of organic growth projects. The Group has announced the acquisition of a new freezer trawler (M.V. Therney) from listed Icelandic Fishing Company, HB Grandi, for $13.5 million. The M.V. Therney was built in the Sterkoder yard in Norway, and is a sister vessel to the Harvest Atlantic Peace which was acquired by Sea Harvest in 2014. Delivery of the vessel is expected in mid-November this year, at a total cost of R250 million, and is anticipated to commence fishing in April/May 2018.

FINANCIAL DERIvATIvE ASSETS AND LIABILITIESFinancial assets and liabilities arise from hedging contracts entered into by the Group for the purpose of minimising the Group’s exposure to foreign currency volatility. Hedging contracts are regarded as level 2 financial instruments for fair value measurement purposes. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

CALL OPTION DERIvATIvEIncluded in non-current financial assets is a call option, entered into on 1 January 2017, to acquire 100% of the shareholding in Vuna Fishing Company Proprietary Limited from Vuna Fishing Group Proprietary Limited. The fair value was independently determined by an expert using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The call option financial asset has been classified as a non-current asset at 30 June 2017 due to the expected exercise date thereof exceeding 12 months from the reporting date. The call option disclosed in financial assets is regarded as a level 3 financial instrument for fair value measurement purposes. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

AvAILABLE-FOR-SALE INvESTmENTThe Group holds 10% of the ordinary share capital of Desert Diamond Fishing Proprietary Limited, a company involved in the fishing and fishing processing industries. The directors of the Group do not consider that the Group is able to exercise significant influence over Desert Diamond Fishing Proprietary Limited.The Group reassesses the valuation of the available-for-sale investment annually, by using an asset valuation method performed by an independent valuator.The available-for-sale investment is regarded as a level 3 financial instrument. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIESThe fishing licence liabilities relate to the Shark Bay Prawn Managed Fishery Voluntary Fisheries Adjustment Scheme (“VFAS”). The VFAS operates from 12 November 2010 until 1 July 2021. Mareterram owns ten fishing licences in the Shark Bay region. The liabilities shown represent present values discounted at the 5 year Australian Corporate Bond rate. Fishing licence liabilities are carried at amortised cost.

7. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTSThe Group has two controlled trusts which have been established as vehicles through which certain executives, senior management and employees have made an investment in or acquired an economic exposure to an investment in shares in the Group. During the six months ended 30 June 2017, The Sea Harvest Management Investment Trust No. 2 and The Sea Harvest Employee Share Trust share incentive schemes were reclassified from equity-settled share-based payment schemes to cash-settled share-based payment schemes.On 23 March 2017, the Group established a forfeitable share plan. In terms of the forfeitable share plan, executive directors and senior managers will be awarded performance shares in the Group. The performance shares are linked to a requirement of continued employment over the prescribed period, the Group's performance and strategic, individual performance conditions which have to be met. Shares are granted to participants for no consideration. These shares participate in dividends and shareholder rights from grant date. The scheme is accounted for as an equity-settled share scheme.
