FY2024 results out earlier from $JSEART Argent Industrial. Stock +3.05% to 2195 cents

Company continues its unbroken earnings growth run since 2019, but changes in UK tax rate sliced a chunk of the XX% profit growth off the table for the tax man's kitty

My anticipated forecast was way too toppy - tax man's take, sliced hard into my expectations. Year to date #ART share price +42% & over X year +33.5% so my buy recommendation remains and was valid

Revenue R2,544m +3.5%
Operating profit R342.7m +12.6%
Profit before tax (PBT) R342.6m +17.0%
XXXX% of PBT now derived offshore up from XX% in FY2023

Manufacturing revenue R2,027m (+12.1%)
Manufacturing profit R302.6m (+18.9%)

Steel trading revenue R517.2m (-20.6%)
Steel trading profits R26.3m (-3.2%)

Best & worst revenue growth market
Asia & Middle East (+55.7%) to R184.7m
UK (+18.4%) to R668.8m
Rest of Africa (+16%) to R235.8m.
South Africa (-8.0%) to R1,307.5m

Finance income R12.8m +348% (cash, mostly offshore sits at R450,7m +76.5% or 828cps or XX% of market capitalisation)
Tax R90.1m +59.5% (UK tax moved from XX% to 25%)

HEPS 438.5cps +6.6%
Final divided XX cents for XXX cents (+21%) paid for the year
Net Asset Value 3115cps +16.1%
Company bought back 1,625m shares in the year & states it will continues to buy back shares

Increasing offshore revenue + profit
XXXX% of revenue (R1,236.8m) up from XXXX% in FY2023 and XXXX% of PBT from offshore (R217.4m) up from XXXX% in FY2023

Offshore profits rose +27.8% year-on-year until UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt took his increased slice. #ART tax rate rose from XXXXX% to XXXXX% thus the XX% profit growth achieved was cut to 6.8%...damn tax man

South African profit rose a modest +1.9% to R125.1m on the challenging economy

On a PE of XXX% and a dividend yield of XXX% I'm still happy with my recommendation & holding of #ART in my top stocks portfolio
