Dear Shareholder
2006/07 FIRST HALF RESULTS
On behalf of the Board of WHK Group Limited (“the Group”), I am pleased to report that the Group has continued to grow and perform strongly in the 2006/07 first half, with the Financial Services Division in particular contributing strongly to record profitability and allowing the Directors to increase the interim dividend by 15% to 2.50 cents per share fully franked (2005: 2.17 cents per share fully franked, share split adjusted).
Results Summary and First Half Highlights
A brief summary of the first half results and major highlights are outlined below:
• Operating revenue increased to $148.45 million (2005: $124.84 million), a rise of 19% and maintaining the Group’s strong growth momentum.
• Consolidated net profit after tax (“Net Profit”) has also increased strongly to a record $12.39 million, an increase of 15% on the previous half-year result (2005: $10.77 million) which was affected by a non-recurring write-off of $0.84 million.
• Underlying profitability represented by Net Profit before amortisation of intangible assets and non-recurring items (“Normalised Cash Earnings”) increased by 8% to $12.76 million (2005: $11.82 million).
• As referred to above, the Group’s record first half profit has enabled Directors to declare a 15% increase in the interim dividend to 2.50 cents per share fully franked, up from 2.17 cents per share for the previous corresponding period, adjusted for the 3 for 1 share split approved by shareholders at the Group’s 2006 Annual General Meeting.
• Financial Services –
- continued to achieve exceptional growth and performance on the back of favourable market conditions;
- operating revenue increased by 20% to $38.61 million (2005: $32.30 million), mainly as a result of strong organic revenue growth;
- net contribution jumped to $9.09 million (2005: $7.07 million), a rise of 29%;
- funds under advice (“FUA”) climbed to $7.52 billion at financial year end (30 June 2006: $6.72 billion), an increase of $0.80 billion or 12% in the 6-month period;
- new business inflows increased by 10% to $339 million (2005: $308 million) and contributed strongly to growth in FUA;
- on-going (recurring) revenue from financial planning jumped sharply to $22.67 million (2005: $18.69 million), a rise of 21%;
- revenue from the administration of some 8,230 self managed super funds grew to $5.68 million (2005: $4.91 million), a rise of 16% – self managed super is regarded by Directors as an outstanding growth opportunity for the Group for at least the next 10 years given the ability of member firms to provide a complete range of accounting, tax, compliance, audit, financial and investment advice and services to individually managed super funds;
- finance broking revenue continued to surge, up 56% to $2.26 million (2005: $1.45 million); and
- revenue from risk insurance grew by 36% to $2.33 million (2005: $1.71 million).
