TRADING STATEMENT
Discovery is currently finalising its results for the six month period ended 31 December 2012 (“current
period”), which will be released on SENS on 21 February 2013.
Shareholders are advised that headline earnings per share will be between 15% and 25% higher than
that of the corresponding reporting period of the previous year (“corresponding period”), while
earnings per share will be between 10% and 20% higher than the corresponding period.
In the current period, Discovery has continued, as in prior periods, to focus on the progression of
normalised headline earnings that excludes the accounting impact of the Standard Life Healthcare
acquisition and the accounting for the puttable non-controlling interest financial liability.
Management is of the view that this best represents the underlying operating performance.
normalised headline earnings per share will be between 15% and 25% higher than that of the
corresponding period.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and
reported on by the Company`s external auditors.
