Anpario plc has announced increased profits and earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Total underlying profits before tax and exceptional items increased by 39 per cent to £3.1m (2011: £2.2m) on sales up 23 percent at £23.5m (2011: £19.2m). Underlying earnings per shareincreased by 49 per cent to 13.32p per share (2011: 8.94p per share) and there was also advance in gross profit, which was ahead by 33 per cent to £7.7m (2011: £5.8m) reflecting the contribution from Meriden’s portfolio, production efficiencies and a richer product mix in the UK.
The balance sheet remains strong and debt free with a year-end cash balance of £3.7m (2011: £4.4m) after a net cash outlay of £2.6m to acquire Meriden and associated costs and a final dividend of 3p per share is proposed, an increase of 25 per cent over the previous year’s payment of 2.4p.
“The Group’s performance has been excellent and shows that the investments made to our production plant and our focus on value-added feed additives is delivering the expected benefits. The acquisition of Meriden has enhanced our product range and global market share," said David Bullen, Anpario chief executive.
A proposed grain-handling facility, expected to handle up to 400 truckloads of corn and soybeans per day, has sparked considerable interest and concerns from residents of southeastern Columbia County, said Steve Rubert, chairman of the town of Fountain Prairie.
An annual meeting is expected to include much discussion on a proposal from Landmark Services Cooperative to locate a new grain shuttle loading facility in the town of Fountain Prairie.
Cassandra Strommen of Landmark described, in a news release, the proposed facility as “state of the art,” and said it would be the second of its kind in Wisconsin. The first, in Evansville, was completed in 2002.
A shuttle facility, Strommen explained, allows farmers to store their grain so they can sell it at what they think is the best economic time. Rail systems are part of the structure, so that train cars can load and unload directly from the bin.
