STRATEGIC REVIEW
The diligent implementation of the group’s strategy has produced solid results for the period in a challenging and uncertain economic
environment, particularly with regard to cash generated from operations, which increased by 83%.
In previous financial periods, the group embarked on a number of significant expansion projects at its operations and concluded
a number of acquisitions, resulting in the investment of R7.8 billion over the 24 months to 30 June 2018. These investments have
been comprehensively reported on in previous financial reports. In view of the scale and complexity of these investments, the strategy
set by the board for the 2019 financial year was to ensure the completion of the expansion projects and the effective integration
of the acquisitions into the group, with the focus on market share growth, extraction of value and generation of cash. Management
have made good progress during the period in this regard.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Diversified industrial
Integrated Timber
The Integrated Timber division previously comprised forestry, sawmilling, pole manufacture, panel manufacture and upgrading operations.
In line with international industry peers, the resin manufacturing and paper impregnation operations are now also reported as part
of this division, as they represent strategic raw materials to the panel products operation and reflect the group’s strategy
of integration (prior period figures have been restated for comparative purposes). The division’s panel products operation performed
well for the period, showing revenue and operating profit growth as it continued to pursue its strategy of technology investments
to reduce its cost of manufacturing, increasing the proportion of value-added products and market share growth. The resin and paper
impregnation operations also performed well as a result of increased volumes. The division’s forestry, sawmilling and pole operations
in the southern Cape were negatively impacted by the operational effects of the extensive fires experienced in the region during 2017
and 2018, which had a material impact on the division’s operating results.
Revenue: R1 960 million (1H18: R1 699 million)
Operating profit: R346 million (1H18: R342 million)
The division is expected to trade well for the remainder of the year with strong demand for its product at stable margins. The division
has initiated new projects to expand particleboard capacity and improve efficiencies at both its Ugie plant (February 2020 commissioning)
and Piet Retief plant (March 2020 commissioning) and will install an additional MFB (melamine-faced board) upgrading press (August 2019
commissioning). The combined cost of these investments will be approximately R200 million, the majority of which will only be incurred
in F2020.
Automotive Components
The performance of the Automotive Components division was stable for the period. A 10% increase in industry new vehicle assembly volumes
over the prior comparative period supported volume growth for the division. The two model replacements introduced during the previous
financial year have been ramped up as planned. Margins during the period were however negatively impacted by certain continuous
improvement projects and new technologies that took longer than expected to implement. The aftermarket accessories business was stable
in spite of subdued industry new vehicle sales volumes. The loss-making canopy manufacturing operation was disposed of effective
1 October 2018.
Revenue: R1 189 million (1H18: R1 024 million)
Operating profit: R116 million (1H18: R116 million)
An improved performance is expected during the second half of the financial year as continuous improvement projects and new technologies
become fully implemented. The extension of the Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) to 2035 provides much needed clarity
and stability to the automotive sector, which management believes will lead to growth opportunities for the division.
Integrated Bedding
The Integrated Bedding division produced a pleasing result for the period in the context of the currently depressed retail environment,
which represents its primary market. The division continued to implement its strategy of; technology investments to reduce its cost
of manufacturing, integration into the manufacture of its primary raw materials, brand development and market share growth. The division
manufactures its own knitted, woven and non-woven fabrics, foam, springs, thermo-bonded insulation pads, bed bases, plastic bedding
components and mattresses, which it delivers to customers using its own logistics fleet, which collectively enables it to optimise margins.
The division was able to grow volumes during the period in line with its strategy. However, margins were negatively impacted by increased
raw material prices and the increased scale of ‘Black Friday’ sales, which extended beyond the division’s efficient manufacturing capacity
during the period and represented a high volume of low-margin products.
Revenue: R854 million (1H18: R759 million)
Operating profit: R132 million (1H18: R128 million)
‘Black Friday’ order volumes that were not manufactured during November and December have been rolled over into January and February.
Thereafter the division is expected to perform well for the rest of the financial year. The mattress manufacturing and process automation
investments associated with the R250 million Integrated Bedding plant in Johannesburg are expected to be completed before the 2019 peak
trading period, which will facilitate production efficiencies at higher production volumes.
Diversified chemical
The division performed well across its three product streams - polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
and polypropylene (PP).
PET HDPE PP
1H19 1H18 1H19 1H18 1H19 1H18

Production volume (tonnes) 102 597 23 096 83 173 83 301 60 065 62 915
Average R/USD exchange 14.18 13.41 14.18 13.41 14.18 13.41
The recently expanded PET operation in Durban ran at an average of 92% of rated capacity for 167 days during the period, following
a post-commissioning shutdown during July 2018, which affected 14 days. The plant was successfully tested to 108% of nameplate capacity.
Demand for the product was strong in both domestic and international markets, with 34 298 tonnes exported during the period. Indexed
margins were volatile during the period as a result of international demand/supply imbalances on PET across various regions. HDPE operations
ran above normal capacity for the period due to increased availability of ethylene raw material, which was consistent with the prior period.
Demand for HDPE remained buoyant, which supported higher selling prices and healthy margins. PP operations ran at 94% of capacity
as a result of an unscheduled shutdown that affected five days. Although demand for the product remained buoyant and supported increased
selling prices, margins were affected by rising propylene prices resulting from rising oil prices, which fortunately subsided towards
the end of the period.
Sales volumes of all three polymers were negatively impacted during December 2018 by industrial action in the downstream plastic converters
sector, which led to a temporary increase in inventory levels at 31 December 2018.
Revenue: R4 423 million (1H18: R3 458 million)
Operating profit: R485 million (1H18: R318 million)
The division is expected to continue its strong operational performance in terms of production volumes, efficiency levels and sales.
Margins are expected to remain fairly volatile as a result of related global commodity and currency fluctuations. A degree of this
volatility is mitigated by the division’s exposure to three polymers and five primary raw materials, each with independent price drivers.
Inventory levels are expected to normalise towards year-end, with exports supplementing domestic demand.
Diversified logistics
The group concluded a B-BBEE transaction, effective 3 September 2018, whereby 45% of its South African logistics operation, Unitrans
Supply Chain Solutions Proprietary Limited (USCS), was disposed of. This transaction and the financial effects thereof have been
comprehensively reported to shareholders through the Johannesburg Stock Exchange News Services (SENS).
Contractual Logistics - South Africa
This division is now reported separately from the group’s non-South African operations. A new executive management structure was
implemented during the period to focus only on South African operations. Following a stable first quarter, USCS found trading conditions
particularly challenging during the second quarter, with subdued demand and margin pressure across all sectors. While operational
performance in most sectors was satisfactory, operational execution difficulties in the Food operations had a material negative impact
on margins. During the period, the division secured new contracts with annualised revenue of R151 million; renewed contracts with
annualised revenue of R419 million; and was unsuccessful in contract renewals with annualised revenue of R66 million.
Revenue: R2 673 million (1H18: R2 452 million)
Operating profit*: R128 million (1H18: R192 million)
*Excluding B-BBEE cost
The separation of the South African and non-South African operations creates more manageable business units with focused management teams.
For the remainder of the period the USCS management team will focus on improved operational execution in the Food business; improved asset
utilisation; and cost reduction, in order to improve margins and returns for the division.
Contractual Logistics - Africa
Contractual Logistics’ operations in non-South African territories comprise activities in mining, cement, petrochemical and agricultural
sectors in southern and east African countries. Following the sale of 45% of USCS, the non-South African operations are reported
separately as Unitrans Africa Proprietary Limited. A new executive management structure was implemented on 1 December 2018 to focus only
on non-South African operations. The division performed well for the period, supported by strong volumes at its major operations
and good operational execution.
Revenue: R1 092 million (1H18: R972 million)
Operating profit: R179 million (1H18: R168 million)
The strong operational execution of this division is expected to continue for the remainder of the year.
Passenger Transport
The Passenger Transport division found trading conditions stable during the period in terms of passenger numbers and operational
execution, but was negatively impacted by a 28% higher average diesel price compared to the prior period, which affected operating
profit by R30 million. The commuter and personnel travel businesses performed satisfactorily in a challenging environment.
Activity in the Intercity travel sector remained competitive, negatively impacting margins. Tourism activity remained subdued,
with lower tourist numbers.
Revenue: R1 228 million (1H18: R1 181 million)
Operating profit: R122 million (1H18: R140 million)
The recent reductions in the price of diesel, supported by a low forecast oil price, are expected to have a positive impact on margins
of the division in the second half of the year. The division remains focused on growth in the areas of commuter and personnel travel
and is pursuing certain opportunities in this regard.
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
The company concluded a series of transactions and funding arrangements (‘Unitrans B-BBEE transaction’) in order to facilitate greater
than 51% ‘black ownership’ and greater than 30% ‘black women ownership’ of its South African logistics operations, Unitrans Supply Chain
Solutions Proprietary Limited (USCS). This series of transactions resulted in the following:
- Effective sale of 23.02% of USCS to a wholly owned entity of the FWG Pieters Trust
- Effective sale of 21.98% of USCS to a wholly owned entity of the Sakhumzi Foundation Empowerment Trust
- Acquisition by USCS of the remaining shares of Xinergistix Proprietary Limited (Xinergistix), resulting in it being a wholly owned
subsidiary of USCS.
The details of this Unitrans B-BBEE transaction were published on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) on 18 May 2018, and a related
circular was published on 8 June 2018. The series of transactions were approved by the competition authorities and became effective
on 3 September 2018.
The disposal of Glodina, a division of KAP Homeware Proprietary Limited, was concluded on 22 February 2018 for R101 million and became
effective on 3 September 2018.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income statement
The effect of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting treatment of the Unitrans B-BBEE transaction is a non-cash
and non-trading B-BBEE cost of R194 million in the period (refer B-BBEE cost below). The impact on earnings is material and therefore
the B-BBEE cost is disclosed separately in the financial results. Core headline earnings and core headline earnings per share referred
to in these results exclude the B-BBEE cost.
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 16% to R13 290 million (1H18: R11 478 million).
Operating profit before B-BBEE cost and capital items from continuing operations increased by 7% to R1 508 million (1H18: R1 404 million).
Operating margin decreased to 11.3% (1H18: 12.2%).
Core headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 6% to 30.1 cents (1H18: 28.3 cents).
Taxation
The effective tax rate increased to 32.8% (1H18: 28.0%), mainly due to the R194 million B-BBEE cost that is not deductible for income
tax purposes. Excluding the B-BBEE cost, the effective tax rate decreased to 27.4% (1H18: 28.0%).
B-BBEE cost
The Unitrans B-BBEE transaction is accounted for in terms of IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment and IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements.
In terms of these statements, KAP is deemed, through the funding structure of the B-BBEE transaction, to control both of the acquiring
entities and is therefore required to consolidate both acquiring entities. In addition, the transaction creates a put option in favour
of the acquiring entities. The fair value of the put options for both the acquiring entities was actuarially valued at R215 million
(B-BBEE cost). The B-BBEE cost is non-cash and is accounted for as a charge to earnings with a corresponding credit to reserves.
R193 million of the B-BBEE cost was expensed at the transaction date and the remaining R22 million will be expensed equally over
the seven-year contract period.
Statement of financial position
Consumable biological assets were affected in the period by fires in the southern Cape region during November 2018, which resulted
in damage to 845 hectares of plantations. As a result, the valuation of the plantations was reduced by R19 million, while an insurance
debtor of R12 million was raised. There was a R4 million fair value gain in the finalisation of the 2017 fires. The net effect of both
fires on the period was therefore a downward revaluation of R15 million.
Assets held for sale in the prior period relate to Glodina, which was disposed of as a going concern on 3 September 2018.
Non-controlling interest decreased as a result of the Unitrans B-BBEE transaction whereby USCS acquired the remaining 49.9% shares
of Xinergistix for an amount of R155 million, of which R73 million was paid for by the issue of ordinary shares in KAP.
The net asset value per share increased by 10% to 462 cents from 420 cents.
Cash flow and working capital
The strategy of ensuring the completion of recent expansion projects and the integration of recent acquisitions resulted in cash generated
from operations increasing by 83% to R877 million (1H18: R479 million).
Net working capital increased by R455 million to R2 598 million. Inventories increased by R788 million, mainly due to increased
stockholding in Polymers as a result of lower sales in December 2018 due to the plastic converters strike. This was offset by an increase
in accounts payable of R466 million. Accounts receivable increased by R133 million.
Capital expenditure
Replacement capital expenditure continues to be managed over time in relation to the annual depreciation charge and amounted to R462 million
for the period (net of proceeds on disposal). Expansion capital expenditure of R240 million was invested in the group’s asset base to drive
growth and efficiency benefits. Capital expenditure was mainly directed towards logistics long-haul vehicles and passenger transport vehicles.
Capital structure
Strong cash generation resulted in net interest-bearing debt decreasing by R773 million to R6 687 million. Both the net debt/EBITDA ratio
and the EBITDA/interest cover ratio remained well within target levels at 1.6 times and 5.5 times respectively. The company is well
positioned in terms of funding future growth and expansion activities.
Global Credit Rating Co. Proprietary Limited reviewed KAP’s credit rating in November 2018 and confirmed its rating as A+(za) with
a stable outlook.

OUTLOOK/PROSPECTS
The macroeconomic and political environment in South Africa is expected to remain challenging and uncertain during the second half
of the financial year in the lead-up to the national elections. KAP will continue to implement its strategy for F2019, ensuring
the completion of recent expansion projects and the integration of recent acquisitions in order to extract value, generate cash
and reduce debt levels, thereby strengthening its balance sheet, enhancing its competitiveness and placing it in a strong position
to take advantage of growth opportunities.
Various new capacity expansion projects and technology investments have been initiated that will be commissioned during F2020.
Management continue to seek out further capacity expansion opportunities, in line with the group’s strategy.
Acquisition opportunities that meet the group’s strategic requirements and create shareholder value remain a key element
of the growth objectives of management.
APPRECIATION
The board of directors records its appreciation for the continued support and loyalty of the group’s employees, shareholders,
customers and suppliers.

SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared and presented in accordance with the framework concepts
and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting
Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the financial pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards
Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the information as required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting
and the requirements of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008. The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared
using accounting policies that comply with IFRS, which are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in millions of South African rand (Rm) on the historical-cost basis,
except for certain assets and liabilities, which are carried at amortised cost, and derivative financial instruments and consumable
biological assets, which are stated at their fair values. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
for the six months ended 31 December 2018 was supervised by Frans Olivier CA(SA), the group’s chief financial officer.
Changes to comparative results
The segmental analysis has been expanded to disclose the results of the group’s seven operating divisions. The group’s resin business,
which was previously disclosed as part of the diversified chemical segment, is now included in the diversified industrial segment as part
of the Integrated Timber division, as it forms part of the integrated raw material supply of Integrated Timber. The comparative information
has been restated.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies utilised in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those
of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.
Financial statements
These results have not been reviewed or reported on by the group’s auditors. The results were approved by the board of directors
on 12 February 2019.
Post-balance sheet events
No significant events have occurred in the period between the end of the period under review and the date of this report.
