As announced in our "Interim Management Statement" released on 14 November 2007, Mondi`s performance in 2007 continued to improve reflecting our favourable product mix, emerging market exposure and competitive cost position. Accordingly, Mondi advises that it expects earnings per share to be within the ranges shown below: Underlying earnings per share (euro cents per share) 44-48 (2006 proforma 27.0) Headline earnings per share (euro cents per share) 36-40 (2006 proforma 28.2) Mondi has disclosed underlying EPS, which is defined as basic earnings per share excluding the impact of special items, as the directors believe this provides a useful additional measure of the group`s underlying performance. The disclosure of Headline EPS is required under the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and has been calculated in accordance with Circular 8/2007 as issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. In addition, basic earnings per share are expected to be within a range of 45 to 54 euro cents per share (2006 proforma of 15.2 euro cents per share).
