KAP - KAP International Holdings Limited - Unaudited Interim Group Results for the six months ended 31 December 2011 KAP INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED Registration number: 1978/000181/06 Share code: KAP ISIN: ZAE000059564 ("KAP" or "the group") Unaudited Interim Group Results for the six months ended 31 December 2011 Highlights - Revenue from continuing operations grows by 13.5% to R2 449 million - Headline earnings grow by 22% to 17,0 cents per share - Interest-bearing debt/equity ratio at 12% (2010: 19%) - Net asset value of 343,9 cents per share PERFORMANCE We submit our report to shareholders for the six months ended 31 December 2011. Revenue and earnings Revenue from continuing operations increased by 14% to R2 448,6 million (2010: R2 157,0 million) due to good growth in the automotive and PET divisions. Operating profit increased to R108,6 million (2010: R107,1 million). Coupled with a further reduction in finance costs, this resulted in headline earnings per share improving by 22% to 17,0 cents (2010: 13,9 cents). Earnings per share increased by 22% to 16,9 cents (2010: 13,9 cents). Financial position and cash flow Despite increased trading activity, net interest-bearing borrowings decreased by 28% to R187,4 million (2010: R260,2 million), and the period-end interest- bearing debt/equity ratio was 12,4% (2010: 18,6%). Operational overview Industrial segment Hosaf Another excellent performance by the polymer plant is the result of strong customer demand for PET. Sales increased by 31% over the previous period as a result of higher commodity prices and favourable market conditions. Plant efficiencies are at record levels, and quality and consistency of product remains good. Feltex Automotive Global vehicle sales are showing a favourable trend, with locally manufactured vehicles having increased by 8% to 243 950 (2010: 225 616 units) due mainly to growth from Volkswagen and Toyota. Vehicle sales remain dependent on the strength of the global recovery. Industrial Footwear A new marketing drive at United Fram and a revitalised product range are anticipated to have a positive effect. At Wayne Plastics a new gumboot machine is expected to address current capacity constraints. Consumer segment Bull Brand Foods Comprehensive restructuring at Bull Brand is starting to yield results, with the management team targeting a significant reduction in the cost base and focussing on procurement and production efficiencies. Brenner Mills Rising maize prices are putting further pressure on consumers` pockets in all maize categories which has affected Brenner`s margins. Jordan Increased sales were reported by the Asics, Ladies and Corporate divisions, and margins improved due to tight control of expenses. Glodina A dramatic spike in yarn prices in recent months has resulted in a poor performance. However, yarn prices have now begun to normalise. Corporate activity On 18 October 2011, the group announced the acquisition of the South African industrial assets of Steinhoff Africa. At the date of this announcement, all conditions precedent have been met, except for the approval by the competition authorities. An announcement will be made once all conditions precedent have been met. Outlook The group will continue to focus on strong cash generation and strict cost control. In addition, the existing industrial assets and brands are well positioned to remain competitive in the current market environment. Appreciation As always, we are grateful to our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, and thank them for their continued support.
