Statutory revenue and net profit after tax for FY17 increased by 47.8% and 46.5% respectively compared to FY16.
After adjusting statutory net profit after tax for transaction costs relating to the takeover offer of Hellaby Holdings Limited ('Hellaby'), the impact of the associated equity raising and once-off Hellaby integration costs including Hellaby head office redundancy costs, pro-forma net profit after tax from continuing operations increased by 50.9%. The increase in pro-forma net profit after tax reflects the impact of the acquisitions of Hellaby and other acquisitions made during FY17, the full year impact of Aftermarket Automotive Holdings Pty Ltd ('ANA') and other acquisitions made during FY16, as well as continued strong performance of Bapcor's existing Trade business.
Earnings per share for FY2017 was 26.33 cents per share, up 48.3% compared to FY2016 (based on pro-forma NPAT including contribution from discontinued operations).
Net debt at 30 June 2017 was $381.9M representing a leverage ratio of less than 2.5X (Net Debt : FY17 EBITDA) on an annualised EBITDA basis allowing for a full twelve months of trading for acquisitions made during FY17 (the leverage ratio on a non-annualised EBITDA basis was 2.9X).
For a further explanation of the results above, refer to the Company's ASX/Media Announcement for the year ended 30 June 2017 and the accompanying Directors' Report.
