TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, a company is required to publish a trading statement
as soon as it becomes aware that the financial results for the next period to be reported on will differ
by at least 20% or more from those of the previous corresponding period.
For the six month period ended 30 September 2018, shareholders are advised that basic earnings
per share is expected to be between 62.47 cents and 68.13 cents, being an increase of between
32.35 % and 44.34 %, compared to 47.2 cents in the corresponding prior period.
The earnings increase is attributable mainly to a significant increase in sugar cane yields as well as
overall sugar production stemming from our extensive replanting program following the drought of
the previous year.
The Company’s financial results for the six month period ended 30 September 2018 are expected to
be published on or about 28th November 2018.
