onlyChairman's Address
It is with pleasure that I welcome you to Shriro Holdings Limited's second Annual General Meeting this calendar year and my first as Chairman.
As the recently appointed Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Kim Slater who was appointed a Non Executive Director on 1 October. I know I can speak on behalf of Kim and say that we are useboth very much looking forward to working with the Board and Management to make a positive contribution
to the Company as it moves into executing its recently formulated strategy.
Before I get to my report, I would like to recognise the service, contribution and leadership of our former Chairman, Stephen Heath. Stephen provided sound governance, energy and work ethic which has placed Shriro in a sound stable position. I would similarly like to thank and recognise my other fellow directors, Abigail Cheadle and Cheryl Hayman for their tireless, ongoing commitment and work.
personalShriro has now transitioned to a financial year end of 30 June. This resulted in a 6 month shortened financial period and a Company performance record for the six months. Revenue increased 20% to $94.3M and the
EBITDA of $12.3M and NPAT of $6.8M were record results for the 6 months ended 30 June, with Covid-19 lock- downs helping to drive consumer demand towards home related products.
Shriro's strong Balance Sheet with $17.3M of cash on hand at 30 June 2021 allowed the Company to pay a dividend of 6 cents per share fully franked for the six month period. This represented a payout ratio of approximately 83.9%.
Key projects undertaken in the six months included:
- An increased digital media advertising spend for the BBQ business in the USA market,
- A significant information technology investment in:
- An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system evaluation ahead of deciding on the system we wish to implement;
o An investment in operation e-commerce capability; | |
o A new customer relationship management system using Salesforce. | |
For | • A focus on ensuring the security over supply chain lead times which assisted with the increase in BBQs |
international growth | |
• A product quality insurance programme for the Company owned premium product range; and | |
• We also focussed on investment in human resources across a number of areas, specifically : | |
o Instituting hybrid working model for staff; | |
o Commencing an internal professional learning and development programme | |
o We added additional senior resources across the business | |
o Utilising a work health and safety consultant to develop best practice in health and safety for | |
Shriro. |
Now, before I hand over to Tim, I would like to comment on recent economic events.

efficiencies and resources as we head into our next growth . | |
