(1) Exceptional costs in H1 2005 include Euro6.3 million rationalisation costs
at the Consumer Foods division, Euro5.3 million cancellation cost of $100
million preferred securities, offset by a tax credit of Euro7.4 million
relating to a prior business disposal.
John Moloney, Group Managing Director, said:
'Undoubtedly these are challenging times for Irish Food Ingredients given the
magnitude and timing of the impact of EU Mid Term Review (MTR) on dairy markets.
However, all other aspects of the Group performed satisfactorily including a
strong performance from the newly formed Property business unit. In what was a
tough first half, the Group accomplished a performance similar to the first half
of 2005.
Since June, there has been little change in the trading environment in Ireland.
Operating costs remain a key ongoing focus for management, although previous
rationalisation initiatives support an improved performance from Irish
operations in the second half. In the USA, better cheese markets and continuing
volume growth underpins the delivery of a good result for the year overall.
International joint ventures are progressing well, with further progress at
Glanbia Cheese in the UK and the continued scale up of operations at Southwest
Cheese in the USA and Nutricima in Nigeria. As trading currently stands, we
expect to meet market expectations for the full year and we remain on track to
achieve double digit growth in 2007.
The announcement today of the acquisition of Seltzer Companies, Inc. is an
important step in the delivery of Glanbia's strategic plan and gives the Group
a strong platform to develop our Nutritionals business. It also advances the
international development of the Group into key global growth markets.'
Announced 6 September 2006
2006 INTERIM STATEMENT
Results for the six months ended 1 July 2006
Income Statement
In the first half of 2006, revenue decreased Euro3.3 million to Euro922.8
million (H1
2005: Euro926.1 million). The downturn in performance in the Food Ingredients
division, particularly the Irish operations, led to a decrease in overall
operating profit and margins. Operating profit pre exceptional declined Euro1.9
million to Euro36.4 million (H1 2005: Euro38.3 million) and the operating margin
pre
exceptional was down 20 basis points to 3.9% (H1 2005: 4.1%). There were no
exceptional items in the first half of 2006 (H1 2005: Euro4.2 million).
Net financing costs pre exceptional were down Euro1.2 million to Euro6.5 million
(H1
2005: Euro7.7 million) as the Group continues to benefit from the refinancing
initiatives undertaken in 2005.
The Group's share of results of joint ventures and associates amounted to
Euro283,000 (H1 2005: Euro38,000) with further improvements in performance in
Glanbia
Cheese, the Group's UK joint venture with Leprino Foods.
Profit before tax pre exceptional at Euro30.2 million was similar to the same
period last year (H1 2005: Euro30.6 million). Taxation pre exceptional amounted
to
Euro3.2 million in the first half of this year compared with Euro3.9 million for
the
same period last year. Profit after tax for the period pre exceptional at
Euro26.9
million was also comparable to the first half of 2005 (H1 2005: Euro26.7
million).
Earnings per share amounted to 9.12 cent (H1 2005: 7.66 cent per share) and
adjusted earnings per share amounted to 9.12 cent (H1 2005: 9.10 cent per
share).
Balance sheet and cash flow
Group net debt increased seasonally by Euro85.5 million in the first half to
Euro301.2
million. Net cash generated from operating activities, pre movements in working
capital, was Euro34.2 million (H1 2005: Euro29.0 million). Working capital
increased
relative to the 2005 year end reflecting the seasonality of the underlying
businesses. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to Euro25.9 million
(H1
2005: Euro36.1 million). Group net debt increased by Euro14.6 million relative
to the
position at H1 2005.
Dividends
The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 2.38 cent per share (H1 2005:
2.27 cent per share), representing an increase of 5%. Dividends will be paid on
4 October 2006 to shareholders on the register as at 15 September 2006, the
record date. Irish dividend withholding tax will be deducted at the standard
rate, where appropriate.
Operations review
The Group has operations in Ireland, Europe and the USA, with international
joint ventures in the UK, USA and Nigeria. Glanbia has three divisions -
Agribusiness and Property, Consumer Foods and Food Ingredients and Nutritionals.
AGRIBUSINESS AND PROPERTY
This division has two business units. Agribusiness is the key linkage with the
Group's Irish farmer supply base. The Property business unit has responsibility
for the maximisation of value from the Group's property portfolio. In the first
half, revenue for Agribusiness and Property was up Euro23.3 million to Euro165.6
million (H1 2005: Euro142.3 million). Operating profit pre exceptional was up
Euro7.9
million to Euro15.9 million (H1 2005: Euro8.0 million) driven mainly by strong
property disposals in the first half. Operating margins, excluding property,
were 5.8% (H1 2005: 5.2%).
Agribusiness had a solid first half in what continues to be a competitive
environment, as farmer purchasing patterns are impacted by EU reforms. This
performance reflects the benefits of recent rationalisation initiatives combined
with a new branch format, ongoing technology and systems upgrades and a wider
customer offering. The outlook for Agribusiness in the second half is expected
to be satisfactory, in line with the normal seasonal trading pattern for this
business.
The role of the Property business unit, newly formed in 2005, is to develop and
maximise the value of the Group's property assets. A significant number of
locations for potential sale or development have been identified and this
business is building up a pipeline of transactions for completion over the
medium term. In the first half of 2006 most of the planned transactions for the
year were completed, delivering a strong result for the six months. Only a
limited number of small transactions are forecast to be completed in the second
half of the year.
CONSUMER FOODS
This division incorporates liquid milk, chilled foods and pig meat. It delivered
a steady performance overall in the first half, with a better performance from
liquid milk and chilled foods offset by a decline in the performance of the
pigmeat operations. Revenue for Consumer Foods increased Euro9.8 million to
Euro252.3
million (H1 2005: Euro242.5 million). Operating profit increased to Euro8.5
million
(H1 2005: Euro8.2 million) and operating margin at 3.4% was in line with H1
2005.
Liquid milk and chilled foods: This business had a reasonable performance in the
first half. The liquid milk operations benefited from the integration of the CMP
brands which were acquired in the first half of 2005. The Group invested heavily
in rationalisation, marketing and new product development in chilled foods in
2005 to improve both competitiveness and market share and these initiatives
aided performance in the first half. The trading environment however remains
highly competitive in line with the retail sector in Ireland. The outlook for
liquid milk and chilled foods in the second half is for a solid performance with
continued investment planned to support our brand positions.
Pig meat: Overall performance declined as a result of market weakness in certain
segments. Some recovery is anticipated in this business in the second half as
markets are expected to improve in addition to the normal seasonal performance
uplift.
FOOD INGREDIENTS AND NUTRITIONALS
This division has three business units. These are Food Ingredients Ireland which
produces cheese, butter, dairy spreads and whey protein ingredients, Food
Ingredients USA which produces cheese and whey and Glanbia Nutritionals. Glanbia
Nutritionals is developing as a leading provider of science-based nutritional
food solutions and products including a wide range of speciality ingredients for
use in ready-to-drink and powdered beverages, nutritional bars, dairy products,
snacks, and confectionary applications. In the first half, revenue from this
division declined Euro36.4 million to Euro504.9 million (H1 2005: Euro541.3
million).
Operating profit declined Euro10.0 million to Euro12.1 million (H1 2005:
Euro22.1
million) and the operating margin declined to 2.4% (H1 2005: 4.1%), mainly
reflecting the sharp downturn in the performance of the Irish Food Ingredients
operations.
Ireland: The present EU dairy reform is in year three of a four year MTR
programme that reduces industry supports. In the first half of 2006 the combined
effects of lower world dairy markets and reduced EU dairy supports significantly
reduced product selling prices and a time lag in adjusting milk prices resulted
in lower margins. Recent milk price reductions combined with improved cost
competitiveness are expected to result in a second half performance that is in
line with the second half of 2005.
USA: Production volumes increased further in the first half of 2006 but the
benefit of this was more than offset by the impact of lower market prices for
cheese in the USA. An improvement in cheese markets with continuing volume
growth will underpin a good second half performance for Food Ingredients USA.
Nutritionals: This business delivered good revenue growth, mainly in new product
development and acquired businesses, both of which performed well. In the first
half the Group continued to invest heavily in people and skills development. A
good performance is expected in this business in the second half.
INTERNATIONAL JOINT VENTURES
Glanbia's strategy is to build international relevance in cheese, nutritional
ingredients and selected consumer foods and this incorporates a number of
strategically significant joint ventures producing cheese, whey and milk
products. These investments performed as planned in the first half of the year
with the performance of Nutricima in Nigeria and Southwest Cheese in the USA
reflecting the early stages of development of these businesses.
UK: Glanbia Cheese, a joint venture with Leprino Foods, produces mozzarella
cheese for the European market. This business continues to steadily improve
profitability and margins and is expected to perform well for the full year.
Nigeria: Nutricima is a joint venture with PZ Cussons plc which manufactures and
markets branded dairy based consumer products for the Nigerian market. This
business is performing to expectations with strong revenue growth and further
expansion is planned.
USA: The commissioning of Southwest Cheese (SWC), the Group's joint venture with
our main partners Dairy Farmers of America and Select Milk Producers Inc., is
substantially complete and the ongoing scale up of production is progressing to
plan.
Outlook
Since June, there has been little change in the trading environment in Ireland.
Operating costs remain a key ongoing focus for management, although previous
rationalisation initiatives support an improved performance from Irish
operations in the second half. In the USA, better cheese markets and continuing
volume growth underpins the delivery of a good result for the year overall.
International joint ventures are progressing well, with further progress at
Glanbia Cheese in the UK and the continued scale up of operations at Southwest
Cheese in the USA and Nutricima in Nigeria. As trading currently stands, we
expect to meet market expectations for the full year and we remain on track to
achieve double digit growth in 2007.
The announcement today of the acquisition of Seltzer Companies, Inc. is an
important step in the delivery of Glanbia's strategic plan and gives the Group a
strong platform to develop our Nutritionals business. It also advances the
international development of the Group into key global growth markets.'

NOTES TO THE INTERIMS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the half year ended 1 July 2006
1 Basis of preparation
This condensed interim financial information for the half year ended 1 July 2006
has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The
condensed interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005.
The figures for the half years ended 1 July 2006 and 2 July 2005 have not been
audited. The figures for the full year ended 31 December 2005 represent an
abbreviated version of the Group's financial statements for that year, which
received an unqualified audit report.
2 Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those adopted in the
preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2005 and are as described therein, except as outlined below.
The Group has considered all amendments to current standards and interpretations
together with all new standards and interpretations and have identified the
following changes that are applicable to the Group:
The Group has adopted the amendment to IAS 21 'Net Investment in a Foreign
Operation', from 1 January 2006. The adoption of this amendment requires that
all foreign exchange gains and losses that form part of the net investment in a
foreign operation, including loans between fellow subsidiaries, will be
recognised directly in reserves on consolidation. Prior period comparative
figures have been restated to reflect the impact of this change.
The Group has also adopted IFRIC Interpretation 4 (Determining whether an
Arrangement contains a Lease) and accordingly, from 1 January 2006, has
capitalised certain arrangements as finance leases.
3 Segment information
At 1 July 2006 the Group is organised into three main business segments:

of its scale and nature, was separately disclosed as a non-recurring exceptional
item in the financial statements.
