REVISED TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Shareholders are referred to the trading statement released by the Company on SENS on 20 September 2021 (“First
Trading Statement”) setting out its expected performance for the year ended 30 June 2021 (“current period”) in
relation to that of the corresponding comparative year ended 30 June 2020 (“comparative period”).
Shareholders are advised that the finalisation of certain year end and audit procedures has resulted in the following
adjustments:
- the restated comparative figures provided in the First Trading Statement for the comparative period have been
revised, impacting the percentage and quantum of movements disclosed in the First Trading Statement; and
- the headline earnings per share and normalised headline earnings per share estimates for total operations for
the current period has been revised.
There are no changes to the current year continuing operations amounts.
Shareholders should refer to the below revised expected financial performance:

As noted in the First Trading Statement, the restatement of prior year results is driven by, inter alia, the requirements of
IFRS 5: Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, which requires the comparative results for
discontinued operations to be restated. Further revised details on the figures which comprise the restatements of prior
year comparative information will be provided in the detailed results announcement which will be published by the
Company on 30 September 2021.
This trading statement and operational update is the responsibility of the directors and the financial information on which
this statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the external auditors.
