control instruments increases net Profit by 17,5%
On 12 August 2013, Control Instruments (CI) announced increased operating profits of R13,85-million for the six months to June 2013 compared with R13,29-million for the same period the previous year. Net profit after tax was up 17,5% to R7,97-million. “The results for the six months to 30 June 2013 represent the first reporting period following the repositioning of Control Instruments (CI), during 2012, as a focused automotive aftermarket business,” says Sean Rogers, Group CEO.
“While the results are satisfactory, the operating profit margin of 5,14%, while up on the same period last year, is still below
the Group’s short term expectations,” adds Rogers.
Gabriel and Textar are two of the flagship brands at CI, and are good examples of CI focusing on premium brands with outstanding pedigrees, and Rogers confirms that CI is always looking for new opportunities with premium brands. Africa is also a strategic focus, and CI is approaching this market with vigour, but is doing its homework before appointing distributors.
It appears that the business’s strategic initiatives that are focused on realising the growth opportunities in the market will be
supported by the underpinning drivers of the automotive aftermarket: an ageing and expanding car parc.
Weakening consumer spending together with the likelihood of strike action in the automotive segment may have an impact on the second half of the year which has traditionally been a stronger period for sales in the automotive aftermarket.
