SANParks MTEF Budget

                 20
2021/22 Budget - context
•   The SANParks 2021 MTEF Budget is set within a context of an uncertain economic
    environment exacerbated by the devastating impact of Covid-19 on Tourism
    revenues
•   International travel restrictions, lockdowns and discovery of new Covid-19 strains
    are expected to continue to have a negative impact on our Tourism revenues over
    the medium term. (Tourism revenue constitutes over 76% of SANParks total
    revenue).
•   In light of the above challenges, SANParks initially projected a deficit of R 645,058
    million which was further reduced to R488,723 million by delaying certain
    infrastructure and land development plans.
•   As a schedule 3A public entity SANParks is not allowed to budget for a deficit
    unless approval is granted by the National Treasury (SANParks is still awaiting
    such approval from the National Treasury).

                                                                     21

Projected Income
•   The assumption is that that annual revenues will be a fifth (20%) of previous revenues
    given the slow recovery of the international tourism market.
•   The total income for 2021/22 financial year is projected at R2, 046 billion which is 25%
    lower than 2019/20 revenue. Included in the revenue is the EPWP funding of
    R354,863m, which is exclusively appropriated and therefore needs to be excluded from
    the revenue available to fund the operations of SANParks. With the exclusion of EPWP
    funding, the total projected revenue drops to R1, 725 billion, this is 37% lower than
    2019/20 revenue.
•   Conservation fees budget represents an average of 38% of the 2019/20 actual figures.
    The 38% has factored in a 5% annual tariff increase and an adjustment of conservation
    fees received from international visitors to 30% of the 2019/2020 actuals. 85% of
    conservation fees are traditionally derived from international visitors who are charged
    higher fees (SANParks utilises a differential fee model).
•   The concession fees budget takes into account the impact of COVID-19, the existing
    relief measures that were approved by the Board and National Treasury which have not
    yet been accounted for in the 2021 financial year. Depending on the recovery of the
    tourism sector and the impact of the 2nd and the expected 3rd wave, it is anticipated
    that there is a risk of further relief measures being requested by concessionaires who
    are particularly dependent on international visitors; however, this has not yet been taken
    into account for the 2021/22 FY.

                                                                                   25
Projected Income
•   Retail gross profit’s revenue is made up of essential goods and curios, with international
    tourists mainly purchasing curios which attract higher pricing and margins and the domestic
    market purchasing essential goods (the impact of fewer international visitors is expected to
    have an impact of 30 – 40% reduction in revenue). Retail gross profit represent 87% of
    2019/20 figures, with a 3.2% inflation rate increase it is therefore adjusted down to R35, 076
    million.
•   The tourism income of which majority is for accommodation was reduced down to R679,
    521 million from the initial R777, 160 million projected in December 2020. The decline on
    revenue received from accommodation is not expected to be extreme as the assumption is
    that the domestic market will maintain occupancy at average levels. The impact of the
    slower recovery of the international market will be felt more keenly on conservation fees for
    reasons indicated earlier.
•   Included in other income is the third party income in the instances where SANParks acts as
    implementing agent and also income from special projects.
•   The 69% decrease on Operational grants in the 2020/21 financial year, is mainly due to
    SANParks having received Covid-19 relief funding from DFFE, to cover operational costs to
    the value of R835, 652 million excluding VAT. This additional funding is not available in the
    outer years, hence the decrease in operational grants.

                                                                                    26
Projected Expenditure
•   The main components of the expenditure are human capital and operating costs, which
    make up 51% and 36% respectively of total expenditure, including EPWP (54% and 32%
    respectively, excluding EPWP)
•   The total budgeted expenditure for 2021/22 is R2, 753 billion (including finance costs) that is
    17% higher than the forecast for 2020/21. Included in the budget for 2020/21, however, are
    the costs associated with the EPWP projects (R354, 863m). If this is excluded, total
    expenditure is R2, 398 billion (including interest). Maintenance is the main contributing
    factor for the higher budget, due to the implementation delays in 2021.
•   The total Human Capital costs excluding EPWP is R1, 289 billion which is 6% higher than
    the 2020/2021 forecast.
      – Included is the R1, 145 billion of permanent and fixed term contracts employees and
         the difference being variable costs which includes post-retirement benefit, overtime and
         public holidays, and other salary related costs.
      – In 2021 financial year, no cost of living increase and performance bonuses were
         budgeted, however the proposed 2021/22 human capital budget includes CPI for bands
         A to D, and CPI minus 1% for bands E and F.

                                                                                      27
Projected Expenditure

•   Maintenance budget for 2021/22 is 69% higher than the forecast of 2020/2021 due to the
    delays in spending the maintenance budget in 2021
•   Depreciation is 10% lower than the forecast of 2020/21, and the expected depreciation is
    R178, 334 million. SANParks plans to significantly reduce capital expenditure hence the
    anticipated reduction in depreciation for the following financial year.
•   The operational costs on the 2020/21 budget provided for CPI of 4%. The other major
    emerging expenditure item is Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs).
•   The PPE expenditure during 2020/2021 year to date amounts to R28, 624 million and this
    includes almost R9 million spent to support our social partners.
•   Included in the operational costs is R10 million which is likely to increase when all the
    workers go back to their stations.
•   The operational costs represent a 31% increase from the forecast of 2020/2021.

                                                                                28
Net Deficit

•   Net operating deficit before interest and tax has increased by 38% from the forecast of
    2020/2021 due to an increase in total expenditure, when compared to a decrease in
    revenue, for the 2021/2022 financial year. The percentage decrease in revenue is
    attributable to the Covid Relief Fund received during the 2020/2021 financial year, which is
    not available in the 2021/2022 financial year. Net operating deficit has increased by 43%
    Year on year and it includes interest earned on operating and infrastructure funds held in
    authorised financial institutions.
•   The interest received is expected to decrease by 22% from the current year forecast due to
    the decline in revenue whereas finance costs are expected to decrease due to reduced
    finance charges, as the capital outstanding for finance leases decreases with the servicing
    of debt. There are no plans to replace these assets and the operational impact of this is yet
    to be determined.
•   The net deficit is arrived at after adding income from wild animal sales and donations, to net
    operating income. The budget for 2021/22 reflects a net deficit of R488, 723 million after
    converting the cash available for land and infrastructure grants to operational grant.
•   The budget for capital expenditure is R18 million for the 2021/22 financial year. This is a
    decrease of 28% from the previous year.

                                                                                    29
