In 2006, we saw double digit growth in revenue and profits and delivered our best operating year ever. Financial highlights Group revenue from continuing operations increased 19% to £940.9m (2005: £789.4m). Continued strong growth from our Engineering Products Division reflects the strength of the oil, power and mining markets and the first full year of contribution from Weir Gabbioneta which was acquired in the final quarter of 2005. The Defence, Nuclear & Gas Division also benefited from buoyant conditions in the shipbuilding and naval sectors where Weir maintains significant market positions. Operating profit before exceptional items from continuing operations at £87.7m (2005: £66.3m) was 32% above 2005, with Group subsidiaries at £77.2m (2005: £57.1m) and our joint ventures and associates contributing £10.5m against £9.2m in 2005. Operating margins, excluding attributable profits from our joint ventures and associates, as a percentage of revenue increased to 8.2% of sales against 7.2% last year. The benefits of the UK restructuring programmes and acquisition of Weir Gabbioneta in Engineering Products, together with a stronger performance from Defence, Nuclear & Gas offset lower margins “While the Group’s organic opportunities provide from our Engineering Services Division. good development prospects, our strong cash Group pre-tax profits before exceptional items from continuing operations were up 40% to £87.1m (2005: £62.2m). Net exceptional gains of 15.7m generation and largely ungeared balance sheet resulted in a reported profit before tax from continuing operations of provide the full range of options to create £102.8m. We recognised a £6.8m gain on the sale of the former Weir Valves & Controls site in Huddersfield and a once off gain of £10.7m further growth .” on the agreement from the pension trustees to implement defined benefit changes to our main UK pension plan. With an effective tax rate of 26% on attributable profits before exceptional items, earnings per share on the same basis amounted to 32.4p (2005: 23.5p). Reported earnings per share, taking account of exceptional items and discontinued operations, was 39.4p, an increase of 213%. Cash generation from operations improved significantly to £134.5m (2005: £71.3m) reflecting the success of management’s focus on improving working capital. The year ended with net debt of £7.1m against £76.4m last year. The continued strong cash generation capabilities of Group operations are clearly evident in these results. The Board is recommending a final dividend of 10.75p per share making a total distribution for the year of 14.5p (2005: 13.2p), a 10% increase on 2005. 2 Chairman’s Statement Strategy & structure The Board It is particularly rewarding to celebrate the successful execution of our five As previously reported, Keith Cochrane joined as Group Finance Director year programme to transform the operational performance and financial on 3 July 2006 and has made a significant contribution since joining. returns of the Group.

  • The Profitable and Untethered March to Global Resource Dominance!
    Athens Journal of Business and Economics X Y GlencoreXstrata… The Profitable and Untethered March to Global Resource Dominance! By Nina Aversano Titos Ritsatos† Motivated by the economic causes and effects of their merger in 2013, we study the expansion strategy deployment of Glencore International plc. and Xstrata plc., before and after their merger. While both companies went through a series of international acquisitions during the last decade, their merger is strengthening effective vertical integration in critical resource and commodity markets, following Hymer’s theory of internationalization and Dunning’s theory of Eclectic Paradigm. Private existence of global dominant positioning in vital resource markets, posits economic sustainability and social fairness questions on an international scale. Glencore is alleged to have used unethical business tactics, increasing corruption, tax evasion and money laundering, while attracting the attention of human rights organizations. Since the announcement of their intended merger, the company’s market performance has been lower than its benchmark index. Glencore’s and Xstrata’s economic success came from operating effectively and efficiently in markets that scare off risk-averse companies. The new GlencoreXstrata is not the same company anymore. The Company’s new capital structure is characterized by controlling presence of institutional investors, creating adherence to corporate governance and increased monitoring and transparency. Furthermore, when multinational corporations like GlencoreXstrata increase in size attracting the attention of global regulation, they are forced by institutional monitoring to increase social consciousness. When ensuring full commitment to social consciousness acting with utmost concern with regard to their commitment by upholding rules and regulations of their home or host country, they have but to become “quasi-utilities” for the global industry.

    8 Colombia 8.1 Summary of Coal Industry 8.1.1 ROLE OF COAL IN COLOMBIA Coal accounted for eight percent of Colombia’s energy consumption in 2007 and one-fourth of total exports in terms of revenue in 2009 (EIA, 2010a). As the world’s tenth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of coal (World Coal, 2012; Reuters, 2014), Colombia provides 6.9 percent of the world’s coal exports (EIA, 2010b). It exports 97 percent of its domestically produced coal, primarily to the United States, the European Union, and Latin America (EIA, 2010a). Colombia had 6,746 million tonnes (Mmt) of proven recoverable coal reserves in 2013, consisting mainly of high-quality bituminous coal and a small amount of metallurgical coal (Table 8-1). The country has the second largest coal reserves in South America, behind Brazil, with most of those reserves concentrated in the Guajira peninsula in the north (on the country’s Caribbean coast) and the Andean foothills (EIA, 2010a). Its reserves of high-quality bituminous coal are the largest in Latin America (BP, 2014). Table 8-1.
