CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the half year ended 31st October 2023
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report our half-year results for the first six months ending 31st October 2023. The Group has realised a pre-tax trading profit of £11.2 million, marking a notable 23.1% uplift from the previous year's £9.1 million. This successful outcome is attributed to an increased revenue of £97.6 million. Both of the Group's Divisions have played a significant role in this achievement during the first six months, and we anticipate a continuation of this increased performance for the rest of the financial year, with a current forward order book of £266 million.
The Refractory Engineering Division has continued to advance its profitability. Notably, the sales of our internally developed, patent-protected fire extinguishing agent for lithium-ion battery fires, known as AVD, have reached a milestone at the mid-year point, equalling the total sales for the previous financial year.
AVD achieved Underwriters Laboratory (UL) certification for component recognition as an extinguishing agent, and a six-litre fire extinguisher containing AVD received UL8 certification. This has opened up substantial opportunities, particularly in the United States, which we anticipate will emerge as a rapidly expanding market for our product, with sales to the USA already starting to grow at a good pace. There is ever-growing interest and adoption that extends way beyond the automotive sector, encompassing a diverse range of applications worldwide. To support this demand, proactive measures have been taken to expand AVD manufacturing capacity. The Group has acquired a 2.5-acre site with a 5,000 square metre industrial building, conveniently located close to Dupré Minerals Limited's primary manufacturing facility in Staffordshire. The site is ready for immediate use with the planned commissioning date of the new, higher-capacity AVD manufacturing line set for April 2024.
The new Calciner at Hoben International Limited has proved to be approximately 15% more efficient than the original Calciner due to the strategic design modifications that were incorporated into the initial design. This efficiency improvement has translated into enhanced productivity and energy cost savings. Hoben's sales of Soluform concrete bags continue to grow and there is wider adoption amongst some project engineers who are increasingly favouring it as their product of choice.
The Refractory Engineering Division's sales of investment casting powder to the global jewellery casting industry has benefited from the jewellery and brass casting market in China returning to a level of normality and due to the Chinese consumers increasing confidence post COVID.
The Mechanical Engineering Division is witnessing the continual progression of activities that was anticipated due to the substantial forward order book. More to do with timing rather than anything else, the Group's cash position has deteriorated in the first six months of the financial year which is due to the increasing levels of working capital that have been accumulating through the increased activity of the Division. However, whilst we have sufficient facility headroom available we expect this position to improve by the financial year end.
There are also a significant number of additional future projects for the Mechanical Engineering Division, for which, at the time of writing, orders have yet to be placed. We anticipate addressing these as they emerge. Reflecting on our active pursuit of major opportunities in the Mechanical Engineering Division over the past three years, it is reassuring to note that none have been lost. However, the slow pace of third party decision making has been a source of frustration. Nevertheless, we are well prepared to capitalise on these opportunities as they arise, whether at Goodwin Steel Castings Limited, Goodwin International Limited or Easat Radar Systems Limited. In all instances, be it technical performance, proven track record or the fact our proposals offer the best value proposition for our customers, globally, we are confident that the existing businesses will continue delivering improved results once we add on some of these new contracts to the existing business activity.
Keeping one eye on the future, our patent pending polyimide resin production company, Duvelco Limited, remains on track to have its production plant commissioned and operational by June 2024. All the major capital expenditure has been completed with the majority of any spend left being labour to finish off the wiring, pipework and commissioning. All initial chemicals to make up to 30 tonnes of polymer resin are on site, so there should not be any large increases in working capital affecting the Group's future cash position, as it should become self-funding once operational.
After due consideration, from listening to shareholder enquiries at the AGM, we recognise the importance of providing more frequent updates. Considering our Group's diverse and complex operations, we have decided to introduce quarterly trading updates to keep our investors more informed.
The Group's overall net debt stands at £54.6 million (31st October 2022: £46.1 million) which equates to a gearing ratio of 47.8% which is in line with the Group's forecasts and due to an end in large amounts of capital expenditure and stabilisation of working capital levels, will fall back towards 30% within the next 18 months.
The Board and I want to thank the employees for their continued efforts in pushing the Group performance forward, and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

2023/24 Outlook
The Group's increased levels of activity that have occurred in the first half of the year are expected to continue throughout the second half of the year, generating a similar level of profitability as was achieved in the first six months.
Within the Mechanical Engineering Division, whilst it is unlikely to immediately create activity within the factory before the year end, we remain confident that over the next six months Easat Radar Systems will be announced as the successful bidder of a number of contracts that will create a level of workload for the company that will allow it to generate respectable profits for the next two to three years whilst continuing to compete for more projects that are being tendered. The reason the Board remains confident is due to the fact that the vast majority of the opportunities that we referenced in a previous statement ("an additional £47 million of firm buy radar systems were quoted") have either been delayed or re-tendered due to the specification of the requirement changing, typically to our advantage due to the company now being able to offer the full suite of surveillance systems.
If a few of the notable contracts that are expected to arrive over the coming months do not get delayed again for the Mechanical Engineering Division, the forward workload will be further increased by the year end.
In the second half of the year, we will also see the completion of the 7,690 square metre new building in India that will substantially increase the manufacturing capacity of both the investment powders and the submersible slurry pump businesses. These increases will not only enable the Group to benefit from the growing domestic market over the next decade but will also support the growth of the other submersible pump companies in the Group, which for the last three years have grown at an average compound rate of 18% per year, and is expected to continue. Currently the pump companies represent approximately 12% of Group turnover.
The Group, mainly through its centralised management structure, makes best endeavours to have in place internal control procedures to identify and manage the key risks and uncertainties affecting the Group. We would refer you to pages 13 to 14 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2023 which describe the principal risks and uncertainties, and to note 28, starting on page 81, which describes in detail the key financial risks and uncertainties affecting the business, such as credit risk and foreign exchange risk.
Judging the future relationship of the major currency pairs of the US Dollar, Sterling and the Euro continues to be a challenge.
The Group has mitigated the impact of rising interest rates by fixing the effective base rate at less than 1% for a notional £30 million of debt until August 2031.
This report describes the expected development of the Group during the year ended 30th April 2024. The report may contain forward-looking statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, financial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. Many of these factors are outside the Group's control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
The Group continues to trade profitably by building on the increase in activity seen in the second half of the previous financial year and, with the current order book levels where they are, this should continue and improve in the second half of this financial year and into the next financial year. The Group has continued with its value added activities and traded throughout this period and previous periods with minimal disruptions to manufacturing activities from the challenges that have been seen over the last few years that have affected many other businesses. As at 31st October 2023, the Group's net debt stood at £54.6 million (31st October 2022 £46.1 million) as set out in note 16 of these accounts. Whilst the net debt levels are higher than those recorded at April 2023 and October 2022, they are in line with the Group's forecasts and are expected to reduce over time, as working capital unwinds, along with lower forecasted capital expenditure. Given the abovementioned, the Directors, after having reviewed the Group projections and possible challenges that may lie ahead, do not see an issue with the continued ability of the Group to meet its financial commitments as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of these accounts and have drawn up these accounts to reflect that on a going concern basis.
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
1. this condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the United Kingdom; and
2. the Interim Management Report and condensed financial statements include a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules
· 4.2.7R (being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the year); and
· 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could do so).

1. Reporting Entity
Goodwin PLC (the "Company") is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31st October 2023 comprise the Company, its subsidiaries, and the Group's interests in associates (together referred to as the "Group").
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2023 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR or via the Company's web site: www.goodwin.co.uk.
2. Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted in the United Kingdom. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2023.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th April 2023 are extracts and not the full Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Audit Committee has reviewed these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has advised the Board of Directors that, taken as a whole, they are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's half year performance. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 19 December 2023.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2023, except where accounting standards have been amended and the Group has adopted these amendments during the current period.
The following amendments, which have become effective for the current reporting period, and therefore have been adopted by the Group, are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
· Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies - (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2023).
· Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors 'Definition of Accounting Estimates' - (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2023).
· Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2023).
· Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2023).
New IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted
The IASB and IFRIC have issued additional standards and amendments which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements. The following amendments have not yet been adopted by the Group:
· Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Deferral of Effective Date - (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2024).
· Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-current liabilities with covenants - (effective for periods commencing on or after 1st January 2024).
The Group does not expect the above amendments to have a material impact on profit, earnings per share and net assets in future periods.
4. Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2023.
The tax charge in the period is based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period, and the impact of any disallowed costs.
5. Operating Segments
For reporting to the chief operating decision maker, the Board of Directors, the Group is organised into two reportable operating segments, according to the different products and services provided by the Mechanical Engineering and Refractory Engineering Divisions. Segment assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to segments as well as group centre balances, which can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Associates are included in Refractory Engineering. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported below.
In previous years, the segmental analysis of net assets, capital expenditure and depreciation was based on the legal structure of the Group. As the analysis from 30th April 2023 has been prepared on the basis of the operational structure of the Group, the comparative figures for 31st October 2022 have been restated accordingly.

The interest rate SWAP and forward exchange contract assets and liabilities fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as defined by IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below.
IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three level hierarchy: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
