Fourteen years, no late filing

The date in the calendar is the date the number appears

Quarterly results have been published on the announced day since 2011, including the two quarters we would have preferred to delay.

A group that moves its reporting date is telling the market something before it tells it anything. Ours have not moved in fourteen years. That includes the third quarter of 2019, when the cold storage business lost a major contract and the number was poor, and the second quarter of 2022, when a fire at the packaging plant took out six weeks of production. Both appeared on the announced day with the explanation attached, and both statements are still on this site, unedited, with their original dates.

Cocoa farmer, registered supplier

The company secretary replies within two days, including to the questions the group would clearly rather not answer.

Financial journalist

Fourteen years and the results have never once moved off the announced date. That single fact tells you more than the annual report.

Institutional shareholder

Investor and governance questions

Ownership, the board, how the companies are financed, related-party dealings and where to find the audited accounts.

Who owns Ucorpora?

Fifty-eight per cent is held by the founding family through a single named vehicle, twenty-two per cent by two institutional shareholders and the balance by about four hundred individual holders. The full substantial-shareholder list is in the annual accounts with the percentages.

How independent is the board?

Four of the seven directors are independent by the local governance code, the audit committee is chaired by one of them, and the roles of chairman and chief executive have been separate since 2009. Attendance at every meeting is published per director.

Where are the audited accounts?

In the statements section, as filed, for every year since 2004, unedited. The related-party schedule is in the accounts with amounts rather than described in a note, and directors’ remuneration is given per individual.

Do the companies trade with each other?

Yes. About half the packaging company’s output goes to the other three, priced at a published internal rate reviewed annually by the audit committee. That rate and the volumes are in the related-party schedule.

When are results published?

On the dates in the reporting calendar, which have not moved since 2011. Results appear at seven in the morning and the managing directors are available from nine to answer questions about their own companies.

Who do I contact?

The company secretary, for investor, media and governance questions alike. Every enquiry receives a reply within two working days. For anything price-sensitive please write rather than telephone so there is a record.

Investor and media enquiries go to one named person
