(“Clover” or “the Group” or “the Company”)
TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“Listings Requirements), companies are
obliged to provide guidance to the market when they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of
certainty exists that the financial results for the forthcoming reporting period will differ by at least
20% from the results of the previous corresponding reporting period.
Accordingly, shareholders of the Company are advised that, Clover expects headline earnings per
share and earnings per share for the six months ended 31 December 2013 to be at least 20%
higher than the corresponding reporting period of the previous year.
The abovementioned is mainly attributable to the non-recurrence of significant marketing
investment in new product launches which occurred during the corresponding reporting period of
the previous year and the higher selling prices achieved during the current reporting period.
However, due to the Group’s performance for the six months ended 31 December 2013 being
highly dependent on the festive season , the Company cannot with reasonable certainty, quantify
the extent of its results for the for the six months ended 31 December 2013 within the 20% range
required by the Listings Requirements.
A further trading statement for the six months ended 31 December 2013 will be issued later once
more certainty exists.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed
and reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
