SPG - Super Group Limited - Trading statement Super Group Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1943/016107/06) Share code: SPG ISIN: ZAE000011334 ("Super Group" or "the Group") Trading statement Super Group is scheduled to release its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2010 on 19 August 2010. In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, issuers are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next will differ by at least 20% from those of the prior comparative period. Despite tough economic and trading conditions that prevailed during the year ending 30 June 2010, the Group is pleased to announce that it has completed the disposal of the discontinued businesses. The depressed global economic conditions continue to impact the industry sectors in which Super Group operates and lower sales volumes across the divisions affected the financial results. Notwithstanding this position, the Group was able to generate positive earnings during this year of restructuring. Shareholders are advised that Super Group is expecting to report a consolidated net profit for the year ended 30 June 2010 of between R150 million and R170 million, resulting in earnings per share ("EPS") (including losses from discontinued operations) of between 5.5 cents and 6.3 cents, and a headline earnings per share ("HEPS") of between 4.5 cents and 5.3 cents. This compares with a loss of R1 341 million which equates to a loss of 296.1 cents per share and headline loss of 170.9 cents per share for year ended 30 June 2009. The EPS and HEPS in the current year have been impacted by the increased weighted average number of shares in issue resulting from the rights offer. The net profit from continuing operations is expected to be a profit of between R155 million and R175 million, equivalent to an EPS of between 5.7 cents and 6.5 cents. Super Group`s continuing operations are expected to generate positive HEPS of between 6.8 cents and 7.6 cents. The net loss from discontinued operations is expected to be less than R15 million. 30 June 2010 30 June 2009
