June 2011
Mpact Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 2004/025229/06)
JSE Share Code: MPT JSE ISIN: ZAE 000156501
("Mpact" or "the Company")
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
MPACT GROUP PROFILE
The Group is one of the largest South African packaging producers, involved in
the manufacture and supply of paper and plastic packaging products. The paper
business is integrated across the recycled paper-based corrugated packaging
value chain and comprises three divisions being recycling, packaging and
industrial paper and corrugated. The plastic business manufactures rigid
plastic packaging such as bottles, containers and preforms for the fast moving
consumer goods markets; styrene trays and plastic jumbo bins. The Group
employs approximately 3 500 people across its 29 operations in South Africa,
Namibia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Mpact was listed on the Main Board of the securities exchange operated by the
JSE Limited ("JSE") on 11 July 2011.
GROUP PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Revenue of R3,006 million was in line with the comparable prior year period
with higher average selling prices offset by lower volumes in the paper
business and in Paperlink, the paper merchanting business, which was sold at
the end of March 2011.
Operating profit of R192 million was 12,5% up on the comparable prior year
period.
Paper segment
Revenue was 2.2% higher at R2,169 million. Sales volumes for the first quarter
exceeded the comparable prior year period but lower demand in the second
quarter resulted in a net decline in external sales volumes for the half year
period compared to prior year.
Operating profit of R245 million was 12.8% better than the comparable prior
year period attributable mainly to higher average selling prices and cost
savings.
Plastics segment
Revenue of R715 million was 15.5% higher than the comparable prior year period
due to increased volumes and higher average selling prices. Selling prices
increased on the back of higher raw material costs.
Operating profit for the period increased by 18.5% to R30 million which
includes insurance income of R5 million. The comparable prior year period
operating profit included insurance income of R17 million and an impairment
charge of R4,8 million.
Special items
Demerger and listing transaction costs reported to 30 June 2011 amount to R5,4
million. It is estimated another R43 million of demerger and listing
transaction costs will be incurred in the second half of the year following
the successful demerger and listing of Mpact in July.
Finance costs
Finance costs of R201 million were lower than the comparable prior year period
by 7,6%.
On 5 July 2011 net debt was substantially reduced as part of the capital
restructuring prior to listing on the JSE on 11 July 2011. Consequently, net
interest costs in the second half of the year will be substantially lower than
the first half.
Tax
The effective tax rate is 31.9%, which is the normal company income tax rate
of 28% adjusted for non-deductible expenses.
Earnings per share
In terms of a special resolution passed on 28 April 2011 the number of
ordinary shares in issue was increased from 159,950 ordinary shares to
23,192,750 ordinary shares following a share split. Thus the number of
ordinary shares in issue on 30 June 2011 was 23,192,750.
On 5 July 2011 an additional 140,853,726 ordinary shares were issued to the
then shareholders as part of Mpact`s capital restructuring prior to listing.
Consequently the Company listed on 11 July 2011 with 164,046,476 issued
ordinary shares.
On the basis of 164,046,476 issued ordinary shares, basic earnings per
ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2011 are 1.0 cent compared to
a loss per ordinary share of 19.2 cents for the six months ended 30 June 2010,
and headline earnings per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2011
are 0.8 cents compared to a headline loss per ordinary share of 18.4 cents for
the six months ended 30 June 2010.
Borrowings
Net debt at 30 June 2011 was R3,697 million, an increase of R50 million from
31 December 2010. Cash proceeds from the sale of Paperlink amounted to R93
million.
On 5 July 2011 the following major changes to net debt occurred pursuant to
the demerger of Mpact from Mondi and the listing on the JSE:
A further 140,853,726 ordinary shares were issued for proceeds of R2,090
million
The Company drew down R1,790 million against new banking facilities
Existing bank loans of R1,144 million were settled
All outstanding shareholder loans amounting to R2,833 million were repaid.
At the date of listing, 11 July 2011, the Group`s net debt amounted to R1,718
million which is a reduction of R1,979 million, compared to 30 June 2011.
Dividends
No interim dividend is proposed.
Audit
The information set out in the announcement has not been audited or reviewed
by the Company`s external auditors.
OUTLOOK
Earnings in the second half of the year are expected to be enhanced as a
result of the significant capital restructuring on 5 July 2011, in which net
debt was reduced to R1,718 million (30 June 2011: R3,697 million).
Due to seasonal effects, trading in the second half of the year is typically
better than the first.
However, demand remains a concern due to ongoing economic weakness and
consumer uncertainty. Demand is also likely to be impacted by increased
competition from direct and indirect imports on the back of the continued
strength of the rand.
The paper manufacturing and plastics businesses were affected by industry wide
industrial action in July. While it is anticipated that some of the lost
production and sales will be recovered before the end of the financial year,
the full extent will only be known in due course.

The Group was not a stand-alone entity prior to the demerger date. The number
of shares in issue has therefore been retrospectively applied to the
comparative period, so that meaningful comparison can be made.
