Results announcement and interim management report for the half year ended 30th June 2008 |
Performance GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc, (the company) a wholly owned subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc, provides financial services to its fellow subsidiaries ("the Group"). During the period the company made a profit on ordinary activities after taxation of £1,043,000 (H1 2007 - £372,000). The company had one cross currency swap outstanding with commercial banks at 30th June 2008. This was to manage the fixed/floating interest rate profile of debt. Under its European Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme the company issued a new fixed rate bond on 6th March 2008; a 31 year note for £700 million with interest fixed at 6.375%. Net proceeds after fees were £693,161,000. The costs will be amortised over the life of the bond. The issue was not swapped. The funds are to be used for Group financing purposes. The company's policy on interest rate risk management requires that the amount of net borrowings at fixed rates increases with the ratio of forecast net interest payable to trading profit. At 30th June 2008, £499 million (31st December 2007 - £1,234 million) of the company's net borrowings were exposed to changes in interest rates after allowing for the effects of hedging. The company seeks to denominate borrowings in the currencies of its principal assets and cash flows. These are primarily denominated in US dollars, Euros and Sterling. Certain borrowings are swapped into other currencies as required for Group purposes. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this document. |
Outlook The Directors are of the opinion that the current level of activity and the period end financial position are satisfactory and will remain so in the foreseeable future. |
