INTRODUCTION
The Board is pleased to report that the business operations posted encouraging growth and commendable results in the half year under review,
including the contribution of Genop, acquired on 1 January 2018. Each of the business units posted solid performance, achieving good growth in
turnover, with disciplined cost control, yielding growth in trading profits across the board.

The results were achieved against a background of a price-regulated environment, coupled with tough trading conditions, reflected in the continued
pressure on the consumer due to the macro-economic environment. The Group's diversified portfolio remained resilient with growth in market share,
with continued relentless focus on customer service and product quality.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
TURNOVER AND PROFITS
Turnover during the period under review increased by 15.6% to R3,595 million (December 2017: R3,108 million), benefiting from the inclusion of Genop
from 1 January 2018. On a like-for-like basis (excluding Genop), turnover increased by 7.4%, supported by an increase in volume of 5.0%, with mix and
price contributing the balance. Price increases were realised in the Consumer segment, but offset to a large extent by price reductions in the other
segments due to competitive market conditions and pressure from Funders to lower prices of certain Prescription medicines.

The gross margin improvement from 38.0% to 38.7% was driven by an advantageous sales mix and improved throughput at the Clayville factory.

Total operating expenses increased by 18.4%, but excluding Genop, were well controlled and only increased by 6.2%, resulting in a 16.6% improvement
in trading profit to R485.5 million (December 2017: R416.3 million).

NON-TRADING EXPENSES
Non-trading expenses of R28.5 million include share-based expenses of R19.4 million, an impairment of the associate investment in Ghana (Ayrton
Drug Manufacturing Limited) of R5.8 million and corporate activity costs of R3.3 million.

NET FINANCE COSTS AND HEADLINE EARNINGS
Net finance costs of R8.5 million were incurred in the period, compared to net finance income of R0.7 million in the prior period and are reflective of
the decrease in cash resources after the Genop acquisition in the previous financial year.

Headline earnings from continuing operations for the period under review increased to R361.2 million (December 2017: R310.3 million). This translates
into headline earnings per share from continuing operations of 217.2 cents (December 2017: 186.6 cents), an increase of 16.4%.

CASH FLOWS
Cash generated from operations amounted to R328.6 million (December 2017: R455.9 million) after working capital increased by R253.2 million
(December 2017: R85.7 million). Trade and other payables have decreased by R211.4 million since June 2018, which was partially offset by a decrease
in inventories (R109.6 million) as the stock holding from certain multinational partners has decreased. Trade and other receivables have increased by
R151.4 million, with the festive season having delayed some receipts. The Group had net cash resources of R109.1 million at the end of the period
(June 2018: R155.7 million).

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 100 cents per share for the six-month period ended 31 December 2018, out of income reserves, an
improvement of 16% over the comparable period.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
OTC turnover improved by 4.9% over the prior comparative period to R1,019 million (December 2017: R970.7 million), driven by improved volumes.
This is a satisfactory performance given the depressed consumer trading environment and difficulty in obtaining export permits from SAHPRA.
A number of the top brands including Allergex, Corenza C and Citro-Soda showed double-digit growth.

A gross margin improvement was realised in comparison to the prior comparative period, driven by an advantageous sales mix and better recoveries
in the Clayville factory. As a result, trading profit increased by 19.7% to R216.7 million (December 2017: R181.1 million).

Prescription turnover improved 33.5% to R1,364 million (December 2017: R1,021 million) aided by the acquisition of Genop which contributed R257 million.
Volumes increased by 5.9% due to an excellent ARV performance, driven by Trivenz in the private market, compensating for a price decrease
of 2.5% as a result of the reduction of reference pricing of certain generic products by funders. Mix contributed to the balance, with the introduction
of new products. This division achieved double digit growth in the total private market as measured by IQVIA.

Gross margin is slightly lower compared to the prior comparative period, with a change in sales mix compensating largely for the erosion in certain
selling prices and Rand weakness which impacted unfavourably on imported raw materials and finished goods. As a result, trading profit of R150.2 million
is 13.4% ahead of the comparative period of R132.5 million.

Consumer turnover increased by 6.4% to R393.3 million (December 2017: R369.5 million) with key brands posting healthy growth. An average price
increase of 4.1% was achieved with volumes only increasing 2.0%, indicative of the pressure on the consumer. Notwithstanding an increasingly
competitive environment and with good cost control, trading profits increased by 12.6% to R65.8 million (December 2017: R58.4 million).

Hospital turnover improved by 11.4% to R764.4 million (December 2017: R686.4 million) with all product categories achieving growth. Increased volumes
contributed 10.1% and mix 2.5%, which compensated for the loss in price. A gross margin improvement was realised, driven by the advantageous
sales mix. Trading profits improved by 25.9% to R51.2 million (December 2017: R40.6 million) with very disciplined control of operating expenditure.

REST OF AFRICA
Following the Board's decision to dispose of the Group's Zimbabwean operating subsidiary, this operation has been treated as an asset held-for-sale
and is reflected in the financial statements as a discontinued operation. As of 30 November 2018, amortisation and depreciation of assets in this
subsidiary were accordingly suspended.

In Kenya turnover declined by 7.3% to R30.5 million (December 2017: R32.9 million), but the business still achieved a trading profit R1.6 million during
the period under review (December 2017: R0.9 million).

CHANGES TO THE BOARD
On 21 November 2018, Mr Mpho Makwana resigned as a non-executive Director, a member of the HR, Remuneration and Nominations Committee
and Chairman of the Social, Ethics and Transformation Committee. Dr Tlalane Lesoli retired by rotation from the board and did not make herself
available for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting, held on 22 November 2018, after having served for more than nine years.
She accordingly, relinquished her position as a Director and a member of the Social, Ethics and Transformation Committee. The process to fill the
vacancies on the Board is currently underway.

PROSPECTS
Trading conditions are expected to remain challenging, particularly in the Consumer and OTC environment. The low Single Exit Price (SEP) increases
granted to the industry in March 2018 of 1.26% and 3.78% in the current calendar year, do not compensate for the above inflationary increases in
salaries, wages and utilities. Against this background the Group is focused on improving its operational efficiency, growing the established brands and
expanding its product range through the acquisition of non-regulated brands to defend its position in the market.

Adcock Ingram is delighted it has been successful in winning a number of key products within the ARV tender and was awarded a 12% share of the overall tender, 
equating to approximately R1.8 billion (excluding VAT) to supply ARV drugs to state-run hospitals, over a period of three years, effective from 1 July  2019.
Adcock Ingram?s share of the ARV Tender award over the three years includes 11% (16.8 million packs) of the 147 million packs of DLT requested in the tender,
2.8 million packs of other oral solid dosage products and 2.7 million bottles of oral solutions.

As a member of Proudly South African, Adcock Ingram has its roots firmly entrenched in the South African market. We are proud to be a leading South African 
manufacturer, which has been recognised as a partner of the State in the national fight against HIV and AIDS. The tender award reflects positively on our 
manufacturing capability, breadth of our product offering and our historical service delivery levels.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1     BASIS OF PREPARATION

1.1   INTRODUCTION
      The summarised unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared in compliance with the
      Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the requirements of the International
      Accounting Standards (IAS) 34: Interim financial reporting, SAICA Financial Reporting Guidelines as issued by the Accounting Practices
      Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008.
      The Board of directors take full responsibility for the set of financial results which have been prepared by Ms Dorette Neethling, Chief
      Financial Officer.

1.2   CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the following new and
      amended IFRS standards and interpretations during the period, which did not have a significant impact on the financial performance or
      position of the Group:

      IFRS 9: Financial instruments ? recognition and measurement
      IFRS 9 is the new financial instrument accounting standard and includes the requirements for classification and measurement of financial
      assets, the impairment and derecognition of financial assets, as well as general hedge accounting.

      The classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets are substantially the same as under IAS 39, except for:

      - the reclassification of the long-term receivable from the Black Managers Share Trust, from amortised cost to fair value through profit or
        loss; and

      - the measurement of the impairment provision for trade receivables.

      In measuring the provision for trade receivables, the Group has applied the new rules using the modified retrospective approach, whereby
      the financial statements are retrospectively adjusted and the cumulative impact (a reduction of R6.1 million of net trade receivables) was
      recorded on 1 July 2018, the initial date of implementing the standard, by recognising an adjustment to opening retained earnings. A
      simplified impairment approach was used, whereby the lifetime expected losses on trade receivables are recorded immediately.

      The Group has chosen to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39, instead of the requirements in IFRS 9, to all of its
      hedging relationships.

      IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers

      IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new
      standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to
      be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard supersedes all current revenue recognition
      requirements under IFRS.

      The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the retrospective approach, with the following impact on the Group's financial statements:

      - disaggregated revenue disclosure; and
 
      - liabilities for the non-performance on customer contracts will be recognised against revenue. 
 
                                                                                     Unaudited        Unaudited       Audited

"believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are 
intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, 
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, 
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying 
assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date 
on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
