Operational and Financial Highlights
Completed Acquisitions
Of the GBP17.6m in sales, GBP10.3m came from the acquired
businesses:

Underlying businesses performing well
-- Organic growth in the 2 larger UK-based businesses,
Tatra-Rotalac and Customised Packaging, of a combined 11.1% and an
improvement in gross margin.
-- This was offset by Global One Pak which performed in line
with management expectations and with improved margins in spite of
supply chain challenges which are expected to improve in the last
quarter as production moves from China to the UK.
-- Tatra-Rotalac exceeded expectations with both sales and
profits significantly ahead of budget.
-- Customised Packaging continues to perform well with focus on driving efficiencies.
Targeted Capex Plan to deliver future growth
-- Committed GBP2.5m to support future demand for new opportunities
o New injection moulding machines to create new lines
o Tooling for specific products and anticipated orders
o Re-configured warehouse space to create 5000 sq. ft of
additional manufacturing capacity upgraded to BRC standard
Financial Strength
-- Cash and cash equivalents of GBP3.8m (2021: GBP5.5m). Cash
and cash equivalents are defined as cash of GBP3.8m (2021: GBP4.8m)
plus treasury shares of GBPnil (2021: GBP0.7m).
-- Strong net assets position.
-- Property has been revalued resulting in an increase of GBP0.9m to GBP3.2m
-- Interim dividend of 0.5p declared.
Sustainability Objectives
-- The Group is proud of its focus on sustainability:
o Adoption of bio-based materials.
o Increasing move to re-cyclable materials.
o Supply chain tracking and transparency.
Positive Outlook
-- Benefit from the acquired businesses to continue to come
through in the second half of the year with significant
opportunities to drive margins through real efficiencies,
optimising people, assets and market opportunities.
-- Variable costs well managed across the Group with energy costs fixed.
-- Potential for further M&A subject to meeting "value add" criteria.
-- Overall, well placed going into the second half of the financial year.
Joe Grimmond, Executive Chairman, commented: "These excellent
results reflect our ongoing investment in future growth. Our
objective is to build a specialist UK plastics business of scale,
targeting profitable, high-demand sectors. We aim to drive growth
both organically and via acquisitions, whilst maintaining our
commitment to sustainable objectives. In the 6-month period to 31
October 2022, we acquired four companies, all of which have
performed well and we have committed GBP2.5m of capex into specific
new business projects. At the same time, we remain prudent with a
strong balance sheet, backed by freehold assets and cash, and we
look to return value to shareholders via dividends and capital
growth. And as a result, we are announcing an interim dividend of
0.5p. Like all businesses, we are mindful of the challenging
economic environment, nevertheless, we believe Coral is in a good
position going forward and we have yet to show the full benefit of
our investments to date."
Joe Grimmond, Chairman, and Sharon Tinsley, Finance Director,
will provide a live investor presentation relating to the financial
results via the Investor Meet Company (IMC) platform on Wednesday,
14 December 2022 at 10:30am GMT.

Executive Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am very pleased to present these results as they reflect our
clear progress towards building a specialist UK plastic business of
scale. The investments we have made in the period, adding four new
plastic businesses, has driven the uplift in sales alongside solid
organic growth generated from our existing businesses. Importantly,
whilst all four acquisitions have performed to plan, there is
significant untapped potential to come. As a management team, we
are confident of our ability to add real value to each business,
using our extensive knowledge of how to make consistent and
attractive returns from the specialist plastics sector. Going into
the second half of the financial year, we expect to continue to
benefit from the acquisitions and the capital expenditure invested
behind new business projects.
Results and Financial Position
Trading in the first half of the current year shows revenue
substantially ahead of the same period for last year. Reported
revenue was GBP17,587,000 (2021: GBP7,103,000), gross margins were
27.1% (2021: 35.7%) resulting in a gross profit of GBP4,759,000
(2021: GBP2,534,000). Underlying EBITDA was GBP1,881,000 (2021:
GBP1,014,000) and underlying operating profits increased to
GBP1,376,000 (2021: GBP759,000).
The change in gross margin reflects a change in the mix of
companies within the Group due to acquisitions whilst gross margins
on existing businesses improved. After investing GBP11,571,000 in
new subsidiaries the gearing remains comfortable at 41%. The
balance sheet net asset position is strong at GBP1 4 ,881,000
(2021: GBP12,376,000 net of GBP693,000 treasury shares). This
represents a solid asset platform for developing the business.
Operations
Tatra-Rotalac Ltd
This business, a leading provider of plastic extrusion and
injection moulded products for commercial use, has exceeded the
board's expectations during the first half of the financial year
with sales and profits well above budget. The recent capital
expenditure is expected to generate additional improvements to
performance in the final quarter of the year.
Global One-Pak Ltd
This business, a leading supplier of lotion pumps, triggers and
mist sprayers, is currently being held back due to logistical cost
increases in Chinese trading. Performing against a much-reduced
sales budget and cost base, Global One Pak has improved gross
margin and operating profit.
Performance in the second half of the financial year is expected
to improve during the final quarter when production of some caps
and enclosures begins in the UK.
Customised Packaging Ltd
This business, a producer of specialised packaging for
transportation including crates and cases, continues to perform
well. Following the departure of the old management team in the
earlier part of the year, focus has been on improving efficiencies
within the business. Customised Packaging maintained sales and
improved margin and profit.
Film & Foil Solutions Ltd
This business joined the group in May 2022. It is a market
leading converter and stockist of flexible packaging film, print
lamination film and speciality plastics, paper and aluminium foils.
This business came with freehold premises valued at GBP2.2 million.
This acquisition reinforces our focus on niche, specialist
operators in the plastics sector.
Alma Products Ltd
This business joined the Group in May 2022. It is a niche
specialist and expert in extrusion, thermoforming and container
printing serving the food industry, providing formable plastic
sheet for Form-Fill-Seal applications, thermoformed and printed
plastic food packaging. This business is very well invested in
state-of-the-art sheet extrusion, volume vacuum forming and one of
the most advanced computer-controlled printing facilities in the
industry. This business came with freehold premises valued at GBP1
million.
Manplas Ltd
This business joined the Group in September 2022. The premises
adjoin those of our Tatra Rotalac subsidiary and will enable
further development of the Tatra Rotalac business by expanding
manufacturing space available without the substantial costs
involved in increasing the required power supply. Furthermore, the
services provided by Manplas are complementary to those of our
Customised Packaging ltd subsidiary also located nearby.
The combined acknowledged expertise of Customised Packaging and
Manplas forms what will be a leading provider of customised product
protection solutions solving logistical problems across multiple
sectors. This is in line with our objective of building a
specialist group of businesses which are product and design
led.
Ecodeck Ltd
This business joined the Group in October 2022. This business is
a natural strategic fit for the group. The plastic grids offer
natural synergy with some of Coral's existing products, including
manufacturing synergies. There is potential to leverage Ecodeck's
ecommerce platform for other group eco-friendly products.
Capital Expenditure
Total capital expenditure committed to in the first six months
was GBP2,500,000 (2021: GBP375,000) all related to new product
opportunities. GBP854,000 of which has been paid in advance.
Dividends
The board have declared an interim dividend of 0.50 pence per
share (2021: 0.50p). The ex-dividend date and the record date for
the interim dividend were 10 November 2022 and 11 November 2022
respectively. The interim dividend will be paid on 16 December
2022. This continues to reflect our confidence in the positive
performance and profitable results of the Group.
Outlook
I am delighted with the performance of the business in the first
half of the financial year. I am pleased to report that the results
to date are well ahead of the same period last year, despite the
prevailing uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in
Ukraine and higher utility costs. With the new acquisitions and the
increased capital expenditure in plant and equipment, tooling and
premises to meet future forecast demand for new products, we remain
confident of the Group's future prospects.
