Sasol Limited Financial Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2011

JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by innovation, Sasol is an integrated energy and chemicals company that creates value through its proven alternative fuel technology and talented people to provide sustainable energy solutions to the world

• Headline earnings per share increased by 27% to R33,85
• Total dividend increased by 24% to R13,00 per share
• Cash generated by operations increased by 41% to R38,6 billion
• Project pipeline progressing well
• Canadian shale gas acquisitions add significantly to long-term value growth
• Sasol successfully pioneers first BEE listing on JSE

Overview

Chief executive, David Constable, says:

"We have continued to deliver on our strategy in the past financial year. Our focus on further improving the performance of our assets has delivered strong production, cost and margin benefits. We also made significant strides in pursuing responsible growth, both in South Africa, as well as abroad. We are particularly pleased with our acquisition of two shale gas assets in Canada and are making progress on this and other gas-to-liquids opportunities, based on our proprietary technology."

Earnings attributable to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2011 increased by 24% to R19,8 billion from R15,9 billion in the prior year, while headline earnings per share and earnings per share increased by 27% to R33,85 and by 24% to R32,97, respectively, over the same period.  

Operating profit of R30 billion increased by 25% compared with the prior year, due to decisive actions taken by management around energy efficiency initiatives as well as our continued focus on cost containment and the benefits realised from our functional excellence programme and business improvement plans. In addition, operating profit was positively impacted by higher average crude oil prices (average dated Brent was US$96,48/barrel in 2011 compared with US$74,37/barrel in 2010) and higher chemical product prices. The benefits of the higher average crude oil and chemical product prices were partially offset by an 8% stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate (R7,01/US$ in 2011 compared with R7,59/US$ in 2010). Overall, group production volumes improved marginally from the prior year, despite Sasol Synfuels' major planned maintenance outage. Group cash fixed costs for the year were contained within inflation, excluding once-off charges and growth costs.

The operating profit in the current year was negatively impacted by once-off charges totalling R1 103 million (2010: R46 million credit). These once-off charges include competition related administrative penalties of R112 million, the Escravos gas-to-liquids (EGTL) partial impairment of R123 million and the share-based payment expense of R565 million resulting from the Ixia Coal BEE transaction, offset by the reversal of the remaining impairment related to Sasol Olefins and Surfactants (O&S) Italy of R491 million. The current year also includes a Sasol Inzalo BEE share-based payment expense of R830 million compared with R824 million in the prior year.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 29,9% to 31,3% resulted from the competition related administrative penalties and share-based payment expenses, both of which are not deductible for tax purposes.

Cash flow generated by operating activities was R38,6 billion compared with R27,3 billion in the prior year. This was mainly due to increased operating profits and reduced working capital, both as a result of price and volume effects. The group made good progress on growth projects as reflected in capital expenditure of R20,7 billion for the year in addition to the cash consideration of R3,8 billion related to the Canada shale gas asset acquisitions.

Chief financial officer, Christine Ramon says:

"Decisive management actions on operational efficiencies, cost control and business improvement plans have boosted the bottom line this year. Higher global commodity prices have supported the healthy margins delivered, particularly in our chemicals businesses, negating the impact of the strong rand. The global economy remains volatile and our strong cash flows continue to underpin the robustness of our businesses. Our strong balance sheet provides a buffer against volatility and positions the company well to fund growth opportunities, with the aim of enhancing long-term shareholder value."  

Striving for strategic and sustainable growth

In order to ensure that our strategic growth objectives are achieved and build on the solid foundation of our existing businesses, we will continue to focus on specific initiatives which will contribute to achieving and delivering on stakeholder value.  All our businesses and functions will continue to operate sustainably underpinned by sound governance. This will be achieved through improving our operational excellence and delivering further value on our functional excellence initiatives, which were implemented two years ago. These initiatives will support our commitment to energy efficiency and our environmental projects. In addition, we will establish and roll-out our sales and marketing excellence initiative across the group to support our customer focus. We will continue to focus on improving our safety performance striving for zero harm to all our stakeholders. The aforementioned actions will enable us to pursue our growth drivers, including growing our upstream gas resources, accelerating our GTL developments and ramping up our new energy business. Our growth will be supported by our capital excellence programme, which aims to enhance long-term shareholder returns.

We have paid R25,4 billion direct and indirect taxes to the South African government. This makes Sasol one of the largest corporate taxpayers in South Africa, contributing significantly to the South African economy.

We contribute about 5% of South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP), directly and indirectly. We employ approximately 34 000 people globally, of which 80% are in South Africa, and create about 200 000 additional indirect jobs.

During the year, the following noteworthy milestones were achieved:

• In July 2010, we concluded an agreement with Gassnova SF, a Norwegian state-owned enterprise. This agreement allows us to participate in the European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad, which is currently constructing a carbon capture facility in Norway. Construction is progressing and the facility is scheduled for start-up in the latter half of 2012.
• Sasol New Energy has undertaken studies related to various clean energy and low-carbon electricity initiatives, including the generation of electricity from natural gas in both South Africa and Mozambique and the establishment of concentrated solar power facilities to produce electricity in South Africa.
• In September 2010, we concluded the Ixia Coal transaction in line with Sasol Mining's empowerment strategy and its commitment to comply with the objectives of the South African Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and the Mining Charter. This transaction results in Ixia Coal Funding (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Ixia Coal (Pty) Ltd, acquiring a 20% shareholding in Sasol Mining (Pty) Ltd for a purchase consideration of R1,8 billion.
• The recordable case rate (RCR) for employees and service providers, including injuries and illnesses, improved to a record low of 0,42 at 30 June 2011 from 0,51 at 30 June 2010. However, we have experienced an increase in fatalities. Our revised safety improvement plan is currently being implemented to address this matter.
• In February 2011, we listed the Sasol BEE ordinary shares on the BEE segment of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This pioneering trading facility provides many new Sasol shareholders access to a regulated market in line with our commitment to broad-based shareholder development.

Acquisitions and projects progressing

Projects and gas asset acquisitions in support of our GTL value proposition are advancing, supported by our strong cash flow generation and balance sheet, which provides a solid platform for growth:

• Progress has been made in the following areas related to the advancement and acquisition of natural gas assets in support of leveraging GTL technology:

- In December 2010, Sasol acquired a 50% stake in the Farrell Creek shale gas assets of Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman), a Canadian-based company, located in the Montney Basin, of British Columbia, Canada, for an amount of R7,1 billion. In March 2011, Sasol further acquired a 50% stake in Talisman's Cypress A shale gas assets for an amount of R7,1 billion on similar terms. The acquired assets also include associated gas gathering systems and processing facilities.

- During 2011, Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) increased its exploration and appraisal activities in Mozambique, Australia and Papua New Guinea. Further explorations and evaluation activities in these areas is ongoing.

• During 2011, Sasol New Energy obtained approval from the Sasol board to construct a 140 megawatt electricity generation plant in Sasolburg, South Africa. The plant will utilise natural gas as its feedstock.
• During 2011, a pre-feasibility study into an integrated GTL and chemicals facility in the United States was concluded. After the successful completion of the pre-feasibility study, the Sasol board has approved that the project proceed to feasibility study phase.
• During the year, we commenced with a feasibility study to determine the technical and commercial viability of a GTL plant in western Canada, following our recent shale gas acquisitions in the area.
• The feasibility study for the Uzbekistan GTL plant has been completed. The decision to proceed to front end engineering and design (FEED) will be taken in the near term and is dependent upon certain commercial conditions.
• Given the delay in the approval from the Chinese government for our CTL project in China, we are developing other investment strategies and growth opportunities, both in South Africa and abroad. We have reallocated planned project funding for the China CTL project and redeployed staff to other projects. We remain committed to growing our other businesses in China.
• The pre-feasibility study in respect of our Indian coal-to-liquids (CTL) project has largely been concluded. As the last phase of the study, a drilling programme is being undertaken to verify the coal assumptions.
• Sasol Mining is nearing completion of the Thubelisha shaft which will supply both the export market and sustain Sasol Synfuels' production. The shaft is expected to be completed in 2012. Construction on the Impumelelo colliery remains on track for completion in 2014.
• Construction on the wax production facility in Sasolburg, South Africa, continues to progress according to plan.

Climate change being addressed

Sasol agrees that climate change presents a risk to the world at large, to South Africa and to the local and international business community. We are committed to transitioning to a low carbon and climate resilient economy and are actively engaging with the South African government in its development of national policy. This policy is aimed at ensuring a coordinated, coherent, efficient and effective response to this challenge, without prejudicing the country's growth and development goals and the competitiveness of key industries within the South African economy.

We are a significant contributor to the South African economy and play a key role in ensuring energy security for the country; however, we also recognise that we are a large emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG). We have made changes to how we operate our business in order to transition to a lower carbon economy. Through investments in energy efficiency and in finding and using natural gas from Mozambique, Sasol reduced annual GHG emissions levels by 10 million tonnes between 2004 and 2011, a reduction of 12%.

Performance from existing operations delivers results

South African energy cluster

Sasol Mining – higher coal prices

Operating profit of R1 628 million, excluding the once-off Ixia Coal transaction share-based payment expense of R565 million, doubled compared with the prior year. Higher US dollar export coal prices contributed to the increase in operating profit despite the impact of the Sasol Synfuels' maintenance outage. This positive contribution, however, was partially offset by a stronger rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Sasol Gas – improved sales volumes

Operating profit increased by 4% to R2 578 million compared with the prior year mainly as a result of improved sales volumes, despite lower gas prices due to the stronger rand/US dollar exchange rate. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by start-up costs in respect of a new compressor in Mozambique, which supported the increased sales volumes.

Sasol Synfuels – major planned maintenance outage impacts production volumes

Sasol Synfuels' operating profit increased by 15% to R15 188 million compared with the prior year. Production volumes were 4% lower than the prior year primarily due to the largest planned maintenance outage in Sasol Synfuels' history. Operating profits were enhanced by higher average oil prices. The open cycle gas turbines were successfully commissioned during July 2010, making available an additional 200 megawatts of electricity generation capacity for the Sasol Synfuels operations, thereby significantly reducing the impact of above inflation electricity price increases on Sasol Synfuels' unit cost. Sasol Synfuels' cash fixed cost per unit increase was contained to 4%.

Sasol Oil – improved production

Operating profit decreased by 13% to R1 180 million compared with the prior year. Higher retail and commercial sales volumes were supported by increased production from the Natref refinery. Higher wholesale margins were, however, countered by the strong rand as well as weaker refining margins. Eight new retail convenience centres were opened during the year.

International energy cluster

Sasol Synfuels International (SSI) – Oryx GTL improved production

SSI's operating profit increased significantly to R1 205 million from R131 million in the prior year. This was mainly due to increased production at the Oryx gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar and higher product prices derived from crude oil prices, which were partially offset by a stronger rand/US dollar exchange rate. The Oryx GTL plant is producing well and achieved an 82% utilisation rate for the year.

Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) – higher oil and gas prices, improved volumes

Operating profit increased by 13% to R382 million compared with the prior year, mainly due to higher sales volumes resulting from increased production. The increase was further underpinned by higher oil and gas prices. Exploration expenditure was higher during the year. Work on the expansion of the onshore gas production facilities in Pande and Temane, Mozambique, to increase the current annual production capacity from 120 million gigajoules to 183 million gigajoules, is nearing completion. Production from our Canadian operation is ramping up.

Chemical cluster

Sasol Polymers – improved volume and prices

Sasol Polymers operating profit of R1 579 million increased by 65% compared with the prior year. Operating profit was positively impacted by increases in production volumes from our local and offshore operations. The increase in operating profit was softened by margin pressure in the international polymer industry and was partially offset by the stronger rand/US dollar exchange rate. Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC) contributed positively with an average capacity utilisation of 80% for the year. Our local operation's results included the negative impact of a once-off administrative penalty of R112 million paid to the South African Competition Commission (the Commission).

Sasol Solvents – higher product prices result in higher margins

Operating profit increased by 43% to R1 655 million compared with the prior year. The increase is mainly due to improved margins, resulting from higher prevailing product prices coupled with cost savings. The increased operating profit was, however, partially offset by reduced sales volumes due to scheduled outages at production facilities as well as the negative effect of the strong rand.

Sasol Olefins & Surfactants (Sasol O&S) – improved demand, margin expansion

Operating profit increased by 67% to R4 161 million compared with the prior year, mainly as a result of robust demand in most of the Sasol O&S markets as well as improved margins across the Sasol O&S product portfolio. The increase in operating profit from our foreign operations was partially offset by foreign currency translation effects. The 2011 financial year includes the reversal of the remainder of the impairment related to Sasol O&S Italy assets amounting to R491 million.

Other chemical businesses – improved sales volumes

Operating profit increased by 48% to R1 317 million compared with the prior year. Global sales volumes of the wax markets as well as the explosives and ammonia markets in Southern Africa improved on the back of increased demand. Lower fertiliser sales volumes were experienced due to the impacts associated with the required exit of retail sales. Improved margins underpinned higher operating profits which were partially offset by the stronger rand. Cost control and restructuring have remained a key focus area for our other chemical businesses.

Competition law compliance

We are continuously evaluating and enhancing our compliance programmes and controls in general, and our competition law compliance programme and controls in particular. As a consequence of these compliance programmes and controls, including monitoring and review activities, we have also adopted appropriate remedial and/or mitigating steps, where necessary or advisable, lodged leniency applications and made disclosures on material findings as and when appropriate. As reported previously, these compliance activities have already revealed, and the implementation of certain close-out actions arising there from, may still reveal competition law contraventions or potential contraventions in respect of which we have taken, or will take, appropriate remedial and/or mitigating steps including lodging leniency applications.

The Commission is conducting investigations into the South African piped gas, coal mining, petroleum, fertilisers and polymer industries. We continue to interact and co-operate with the Commission in respect of the subject matter of current leniency applications brought by Sasol, conditional leniency agreements concluded with the Commission, as well as in the areas that are subject to the Commission's investigations. To the extent appropriate further announcements will be made in future.

Due to the uncertainty related to these matters, it is currently not possible to estimate contingent liabilities, if any, and accordingly no provision has been recognised at 30 June 2011.

Balance sheet remains strong

Balance sheet gearing at 30 June 2011 of 1,3% (30 June 2010: 1,0%) remained low as a result of improved cash flow generation. This low level of gearing is expected to be maintained in the short-term, but is likely to return to within our targeted range of 20% to 40% in the medium term as our large capital intensive growth programme and gas acquisition strategy gains momentum. At the annual general meeting of 26 November 2010, shareholders granted the Sasol directors authority to buy back up to 10% of Sasol's issued share capital (excluding the preferred ordinary and Sasol BEE ordinary shares) for a further 12 months. No shares were repurchased during the current year.

Profit outlook* – uncertain macro environment, focus on improved operational performance and cost control

The past financial year has seen a global recovery from the economic crisis, although some economies are proceeding at a slower pace. Downside risks remain with high funding requirements of banks and sovereign states. However, product prices and the demand for chemical products have shown significant improvement. Crude oil prices remained volatile but have increased steadily as a result of the political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa and disruptions to supply. These increased prices have assisted with offsetting the negative impact of the strong rand. The strengthening of the rand/US dollar exchange rate remains the single biggest external factor exerting pressure on our profitability.

We anticipate that Sasol Synfuels' production volumes will improve to between 7,2 million tons (mt) and 7,3 mt in 2012 following the major planned maintenance outage which was undertaken in September 2010. Oryx GTL is expected to perform at its planned operating rate of 80% to 90% of design capacity and Arya is expected to improve as it ramps up to design capacity utilisation rate. We expect improved volumes from Mozambique and Canada. Our focus in the year ahead remains on factors within our control: volume growth, margin improvement and cost containment. These focus areas will be underpinned by our group-wide initiatives on operations excellence, functional excellence and capital excellence. We are also enhancing the extraction of value across our integrated operations through planning and optimisation and have introduced the sales and marketing excellence initiative. We remain on track to deliver on our expectations for an improved operational performance and to contain cost increases to within inflation. Given the continuing uncertain macro economic conditions and our assumptions in respect of improved crude oil and product prices, as well as the strong rand/US dollar exchange rate, it is difficult to be more precise in this outlook statement.

Management has recommended and the board has approved the final dividend taking into account the ongoing strength of our financial position and current capital investment plans, as well as the increased earnings. This approach is in line with our progressive dividend policy and our commitment to return value to shareholders.

Acquisitions and disposals of businesses

In September 2010, we concluded the Ixia Coal transaction. This transaction results in Ixia Coal Funding (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Ixia Coal (Pty) Ltd, acquiring a 20% shareholding in Sasol Mining (Pty) Ltd for a purchase consideration of R1,8 billion. The transaction resulted in a non-controlling interest of an effective 10,2% being recognised.

On 1 March 2011 and 10 June 2011, we concluded the acquisitions of the Farrell Creek and Cypress A shale gas assets, respectively, in Canada for a total purchase consideration of R14,2 billion. Of this consideration R3,8 billion was paid in cash, while the remaining purchase consideration will be settled through a capital carry mechanism.
