Commentary
OVERVIEW
Trading conditions for the year were once again difficult. The challenges facing the global economy have 
undoubtedly affected Tiger Brands sphere of operations. In South Africa in particular, the difficulties 
facing the group have been driven largely by the trade-off between the groups ability to recover cost 
increases through appropriate pricing, and the pressure on consumers to purchase at acceptable price points. 
The increase in competition through the continued growth in dealer-owned brands and the entry of new 
competitors, has added to these challenges. Whilst the group has taken some important steps in its strategic 
journey towards building a sustainable platform for future growth, the results for the financial year are 
disappointing and reflect a difficult transitionary phase as the group repositions its domestic business for 
growth and drives expansion on the balance of the continent. 

As reported previously, the group acquired a controlling interest of 63,35% in Dangote Flour Mills of
Nigeria (DFM) with effect from 4 October 2012. Whilst this company has good assets and a strong market 
position, the trading performance has been disappointing and the acquisition has had a dilutive effect on 
the groups earnings for the year. As with other acquisitions made on the continent, we expect that it 
will take two to three years to fully align the DFM operations to Tiger Brands standards and for the 
business to deliver acceptable returns. However, the group remains optimistic that this investment in one 
of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, will meet expectations over the medium term.


FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue increased by 19,1% to R27,0 billion, assisted by acquisitions which contributed an amount of 
R2,3 billion. Excluding acquisitions, revenue grew by 8,4% to R24,6 billion.

Total volumes in the domestic businesses were in line with last year. Notwithstanding volume declines 
in  the Maize, Sorghum Beverages, Groceries and Personal Care businesses, the balance of the businesses 
reflected solid volume growth, with the Jungle and Rice businesses in particular achieving strong 
volume growth.  

Revenue in the International and Exports businesses (excluding acquisitions) grew by 
21,7% to R4,4 billion, boosted by foreign currency translation gains of 12,1% and strong volume growth 
in the  Davita and TBI export businesses.

Total group operating income declined by 11,6% to R3,1 billion. This was mainly caused by a R389,2 million
operating loss incurred by DFM, which included once-off retrenchment costs and increased stock and bad debt 
provisions of R85 million. DFMs performance was also affected by raw material cost push that could not be 
recovered in the market through price increases. In addition, volume pressures arising from  measures taken 
to recover long-outstanding customer debts in an industry with significant overcapacity, as well as aggressive 
pricing by competitors in the Nigerian flour market, negatively impacted income.

Dangote Agrosacks, DFM's packaging subsidiary which has been earmarked for sale, has been reflected as a
discontinued operation and its profit contribution for the year is reflected as a single line item, 
outside of operating income.

Excluding DFM, operating income was in line with the prior year and the overall operating margin reduced
from 15,3% to 14,0%. The decline in operating margin was largely due to raw material, fuel and labour 
cost push in the domestic market, which was partially absorbed in order to drive volume recovery.

Net financing costs increased from R138,2 million to R378,8 million as a result of the groups higher
borrowing levels, including underlying debt in DFM of R1,5 billion. During the year DFM reached an 
agreement to sell its subsidiary Dangote Agrosacks Limited (DAS), to Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) 
for N7,55 billion (R470,1 million), resulting in a R25,8 million abnormal loss on the remeasurement 
of the carrying value of DAS' net assets at year end, to fair value. The proceeds from this sale will 
assist in reducing the overall debt in DFM, which currently bears interest at approximately 15% per annum. 
It is anticipated that the refinancing of a portion of the remaining debt at DFM at more favourable interest 
rates will be effected by the end of the current calendar year.

Income from associates increased by 23,9% to R515,1 million due to solid growth in earnings from Oceana 
in particular and a 10,1% foreign currency translation effect in respect of the offshore associates. During 
the year, the group increased its shareholding in Oceana by 4,5% to 41,9%.

The reduction in the groups effective tax rate from 27,2% to 25,9% is largely due to the replacement of 
the Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) with the new Dividends Tax introduced with effect from 1 April 2012. 
The previous years tax charge included STC of R79,1 million. 

The profit from the discontinued operation of R158,0 million is stated after the abnormal loss of R25,8
million noted above.

Net profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders decreased by 5,5% to R2,6 billion and earnings
per share decreased by 5,8% to 1 608 cents. Headline earnings per share decreased by 3,8% to 1 624 cents.
 
Excluding the results of DFM and the related acquisition costs, headline earnings per share increased by
5,4% to 1781 cents.

Total equity increased from R11,7 billion as at 30 September 2012 to R13,9 billion as at 30 September 2013.
Net profit for the year of R2,5 billion and foreign currency translation gains of R496,8 million were partly
offset by net dividend outflows of R1,4 billion. The DFM acquisition also added R541,2 million to
non-controlling interests.

Net interest-bearing debt increased from R1,2 billion to R4,5 billion mainly as a result of DFMs underlying
debt of R1,5 billion and additional group borrowings raised of R1,5 billion. The groups net debt to EBITDA
ratio of 1,2 times is well within its general borrowing covenant of 2,5 times. 


FINAL ORDINARY DIVIDEND
The board has decided to declare a final ordinary dividend of 555 cents per share (2012: 555 cents) for 
the year ended 30 September 2013. This dividend, together with the interim dividend of 310 cents per share 
(2012: 295 cents), brings the total dividend for the year to 865 cents per share (2012: 850 cents), being 
an increase of 1,8%.

ACQUISITIONS
The 63,35% shareholding in DFM was acquired for a purchase consideration of R1,5 billion. In light of the
proposed sale of DAS by DFM, the net assets of DAS have been reflected in the groups closing statement of
financial position at 30 September 2013, as held-for-sale and the profits of DAS have been reflected as 
arising from a discontinued operation.

The group made three other acquisitions during the year. It acquired the Mars sugar confectionery trademarks
in South Africa for R10 million with effect from 1 November 2012 and the Mrs Balls chutney trademarks for 
R475 million with effect from 1 April 2013. It also increased its shareholding in Oceana Group Limited by 
4,5% to 41,9% with effect from 1 March 2013 for a purchase consideration of R314 million.

With effect from 26 September 2013, the group subscribed for additional share capital of $24,4 million
(R242,8 million) in its associate company, Empresas Carozzi. The subscription was in proportion to its 
24,4% shareholding in the company. The capital injection was used to strengthen Carozzis balance sheet
following a number of capital projects to upgrade the companys manufacturing facilities  and to increase 
capacity. Since the acquisition of its shareholding in Carozzi in 1999, Carozzi has performed well and the 
group has received dividends in excess to its original investment in the company.

GRAINS
The most significant contributor to operating income in the Grains segment is the Bakery business which
achieved a pleasing volume growth in a contracting market. Despite considerable pressure on raw material 
input, labour and distribution costs in particular, the Bakeries business produced a strong increase in 
operating income.

The Flour Milling business was able to grow volumes marginally in a contracting market. However, a
combination of aggressive competitor activity and a significant increase in raw material costs resulted 
in lower margins and profitability.
The Maize business lost market share in a contracting market and margins were squeezed in a highly
competitive environment. The impact on profitability was exacerbated by an adverse procurement position 
at the end of the first quarter.

The Sorghum beverage business was able to sustain satisfactory profitability notwithstanding the increase 
in raw sorghum costs and a continuation of the long-term declining volume trend in this market. The sorghum
porridge offerings (King Korn, Mabela and Morvite), as well as Ace Instant, recorded good profit growth.
The Rice business achieved strong volume growth with volumes exceeding the levels of 2011 as pricing was
adjusted to reflect a more realistic premium to other rice offerings. As a consequence, the business 
benefited from a much improved second half performance relative to the same period last year. The Thai 
government has in the last quarter of 2013 lowered its level of support to rice farmers, although much of 
this pricing benefit has been eroded by the recent depreciation of the rand. The decline in the premium 
of Thai rice relative to Indian rice should allow for a modest expansion in margins going forward, 
notwithstanding the increasing levels of competition in the premium rice segment.

Off the back of several successful innovation launches under the Jungle brand, the Oats business recorded
good volume growth and a satisfactory increase in operating income.


CONSUMER BRANDS
The Groceries business faced extremely tough trading conditions during the year, with intense pricing
competition, higher input costs and volume pressures having a significant impact on profitability.

Divisional turnover declined by 1,7% to R3,7 billion, whilst operating income fell by 33,1% to R361 million 
due to volume pressures that arose from widening price differentials relative to aggressive competitor pricing 
and also due to higher input costs which could not be fully recovered in the market. The financial performance for 
the year was also negatively impacted by once-off costs relating to certain extraodinary stock write-offs, 
unfavourable manufacturing variances and the effect of IR issues at the Boksburg site, totalling R44,7 million.

The business has heightened its focus on the containment of costs and the close management of price points.
As part of the strategic cost saving initiatives announced by the group earlier in the year, the business
embarked on two key supply chain optimisation projects to consolidate certain of its manufacturing facilities 
at sites located closer to the raw materials supply sources, thereby resetting the cost base for certain
product lines. The full projected cost savings are expected to materialise in the 2015 financial year. These
projects should drive improved competitiveness on shelf and generate savings to support further innovation and
brand investment.

The Snacks & Treats business achieved a solid performance for the year, driven by pleasing volume growth and
a positive sales mix, as well as strong operational leverage resulting from manufacturing cost efficiencies. 
The Beverages business achieved satisfactory volume growth for the year, which was primarily driven by the
Oros, Roses and Superjuice brands. However, sales mix and profitability were negatively affected by 
short-term supply issues relating to Energade, stemming from the changes in the manufacturing architecture 
implemented during the year. 

In order to improve efficiencies and generate cost savings, the Beverages business has consolidated its
triple-factory manufacturing configuration into a single site with the closure of its Salt River and Phoenix
factories and the upgrade of its manufacturing plant at Roodekop. The new configuration became operational in
October 2013. 

Despite a slowdown in the overall Value Added Meat Products category, the Enterprise business grew in both
volume and value terms within its core segments, benefiting from various strategic initiatives implemented 
in the prior year. 

The Out of Home business produced pleasing results for the year, driven by strong Christmas and Easter
festive season buy-ins by distributors, increased food hamper business as well as the take-on of new franchise 
and contract catering customers.

The HPCB business delivered a modest top-line performance, which translated to a slightly lower operating
income for the year. The highly competitive market environment continued into 2013, with increased levels of
innovation, brand investment and aggressive pricing by competitors. The Baby care business continues to 
perform well despite competitive pressures in the jarred baby food category. Innovation in this sector is high 
and the group continues to successfully introduce new products and category extensions.

EXPORTS AND INTERNATIONAL
Haco Tiger Brands recorded pleasing performances across its key categories despite a subdued trading
environment pre and post the Kenyan general elections in March 2013. The company continues to successfully 
pursue its regional exports growth strategy in East Africa with key markets being Tanzania, Uganda and 
Ethiopia.

Chococam also delivered excellent growth across all its key categories in both domestic and export markets.
The company maintained its leading market share positions in chocolate spreads, chocolates, candies and gums
despite heightened competitor activities in these categories. 

EATBI delivered strong results for the year, despite ongoing challenges across the supply chain. The strong
overall performance was driven mainly by excellent growth achieved in the higher margin Home and Personal Care
categories, which is expected to continue into 2014. Its leading positions in laundry soaps and detergents
were maintained during the year, despite sustained competitor activity in the form of cheap imports.

Global markets for canned deciduous fruit remained challenging in 2013. Langeberg & Ashton Foods volumes
declined marginally during the period in the face of intensely competitive pricing particularly from
European-based producers. Notwithstanding this, operating income grew by 60% partly assisted by the weak 
rand. 

The Export business enjoyed another successful year on the back of several consecutive years of sustained
growth. Strong volume growth was achieved although margins were compressed slightly as a result of the need 
to maintain relative price points in key markets. The Export division continues to play a strong feeder and
development role for our chosen categories and brands as it successfully drives market penetration in both 
existing and new geographies.

Davita has enjoyed a successful year and continues to deliver noteworthy volume performances in Southern 
and West Africa in particular. The business has been successfully integrated into the Tiger Brands stable, 
with the associated throughput and manufacturing efficiency programmes enabling the business to compete 
effectively in key markets. 

NIGERIA
With regard to DFM, the focus for the year has been on the integration and consolidation of the business. This 
involved fixing a number of key elements of the business delivery platform to eliminate the duplication of 
resources and to position the business for improved efficiencies into the future. Significant investment was 
also made in the up-skilling of staff and the enhancement of the workplace environment. Revenue growth and a 
meaningful improvement in the performance of the business remain the foremost deliverables for the year ahead. 
Broadening the market universe and further improvements in the outbound logistics infrastructure are key thrusts 
towards achieving these objectives. 

Following a disappointing performance during the previous year, Deli Foods operating platform has remained
stable during the year under review. The prospects for the business remain exciting given the size of the
biscuit category as well as the opportunities for growth through product differentiation. 
UAC Foods introduced additional capacity and implemented capabilities to improve manufacturing efficiencies.
Capital expenditure was invested towards doubling the capacity for snacks manufacturing, increasing the
end-of-line packing efficiencies and installing new capacity for spring water production. The additional 
capacity further enables the drive for new innovative products that will be a key vector for stimulating 
both volume and value growth. 

OUTLOOK
Trading conditions are expected to remain challenging for the foreseeable future, with the ongoing weakness
in the domestic economy continuing to affect consumers  spending ability. In this environment, competition 
is expected to further intensify. Margin pressures are likely to persist due to volatile commodity prices,
fluctuating exchange rates and rising energy costs. The continued growth of the value sector in the domestic 
market is likely to exert further pressure on premium brands.

Notwithstanding these challenges, the group is well positioned to compete more effectively as a result of
the various strategic initiatives currently being implemented. The brand preference for Tiger Brands products
remains high and will be strengthened through increased brand investment and innovation.

The performance of DFM is expected to improve over the next year. We are satisfied that DFM is positioned 
appropriately in the right categories and that solid progress is being made in all key elements of the business. 
The remaining international and export businesses are expected to continue to deliver good growth.

        The group intends to dispose of its Salt River factory, out of the Beverages operating segment, within the next 12 months. 
        No impairment loss was recognised on the reclassification of the factory as held-for-sale as the expected fair value less 
        cost to sell is higher than the carrying value.                                       
        The group plans to dispose of its subsidiary, Dangote Agrosacks Limited, out of the Nigerian operating segment, due to the 
        non-strategic fit within the Tiger Brands group, and anticipates that the disposal will be completed by December 2013. As 
        the expected fair value less cost to sell is lower than the carrying value, an impairment loss of R25,8 million has been 
        recognised on reclassification of the business as held-for-sale.

        annual financial statements, the condensed annual financial statements themselves have not been audited. The preparation of 
        the condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the directors and have been correctly extracted from the 
        underlying audited numbers.
