CML - Coronation Fund Managers Limited - Reviewed preliminary
financial results for the year ended 30 September 2011
Coronation Fund Managers Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
Registration number: 1973/009318/06
JSE share code: CML
ISIN: ZAE000047353 ("Coronation")
Reviewed preliminary financial results for the year ended 30 September 2011
Assets under management of R247 billion, up 21%
Diluted headline earnings per share of 176 cents, up 38%
Total dividend per share of 172 cents, up 35%
Despite extreme volatility across markets, Coronation delivered another set
of excellent results for the year to 30 September 2011. While emerging
markets sold off substantially in the second half of the year (MSCI Emerging
Markets Index -23.3% for the six months and -15.9% for the year in US dollar
terms), the FTSE/JSE All Share Index managed to return 3.6% for the year.
The rand slid 20% against the US dollar in the final quarter to close at
R/USD8.09 and the MSCI World Index recorded -3.8% (in US dollar terms).
Notwithstanding this backdrop, the business continued to produce outstanding
long-term investment performance and attract significant flows over the
period. In particular, the increase in market share to 9.9% (September 2010:
7.5%) of long-term funds by the retail business takes us from 3rd to 2nd
largest long-term fund manager in the country.

Results
Revenue increased by 34% to R1.7 billion (2010: R1.3 billion). Together with
a continued focus on cost control measures, this resulted in a 42% increase
in profit for the period to R624 million; and growth in diluted headline
earnings per share of 38% to 176 cents (September 2010: 128 cents).
Long-term performance
Assets under management increased by 21% to R247 billion (September 2010:
R203.5 billion) on the strength of our long-term track record of excellent
stock picking and asset allocation. Our investment philosophy of finding
long-term value ignores the short-term noise, allowing us to seek out
quality businesses that will deliver solid returns for clients over time.
- Our institutional domestic and global balanced portfolios ranked 1st over
3 years and 2nd over 5 years in the Alexander Forbes (AF) SA and Global
Large Manager Watch surveys respectively to end September. Within the
absolute product range our global portfolios ranked 1st over 3 and 5 years
in the AF Conservative Global Manager Watch Survey.
- The consistent performance delivered by our unit trust funds resulted in
Coronation being named Best Large Fund House at the 2011 Morningstar South
Africa Awards. This accolade was supported by the top quartile performance
across our domestic flagship fund range over 3, 5, 10 years and since their
respective launch dates to end September. Highlights include Coronation
Balanced Plus, which was the no.1 balanced fund in South Africa over 5 years
and since launch in 1996, and the Coronation Balanced Defensive Fund which
was the no.1 conservative fund over 3 years and since launch in 2007, as
ranked by Morningstar. Furthermore, our concentrated equity fund, Coronation
Top 20, continued to outperform its benchmark with an impressive 7% per
annum since launch in 2000.
International
While heightened levels of risk aversion left no market unscathed, our long-
term investment track record across the fund range remained strong. Our
longest running international unit trust, Coronation World Equity (ZAR) Fund
of Funds, has outperformed the MSCI World Index by 2.1% per annum (in US
dollars net of all fees) since launch in 1997. The Coronation Global
Emerging Markets Fund has outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by
6.8% per annum (gross of all fees) since launch in 2008, and the Coronation
Africa Frontiers Fund has outperformed its benchmark by 5.4% per annum
(gross of all fees) also since launch in 2008.
Our commitment to clients
As one of the largest managers of third-party assets in the country, our
first priority is to consistently deliver the best possible returns across
all client mandates. To achieve this it is imperative that our business does
not grow to a level that impedes our ability to deliver outperformance. In
the interests of this objective, in May we communicated our pre-emptive
decision to close our specialist South Africa equity mandates to new
institutional investors effective 31 March 2012.
Final dividend
We continue to reward shareholders through regular and significant
distributions of free cash flow generated. We endeavour to distribute at
least 75% of after-tax cash profit. Taking into account projected cash
requirements, we have increased the final dividend to 92 cents per share.
Together with the interim dividend of 80 cents per share, this amounts to a
total dividend of 172 cents per share for the year.
In compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE), the
following dates are applicable:
Last day to trade Friday, 25 November 2011
Shares trade ex dividend Monday, 28 November 2011
Record date Friday, 2 December 2011
Payment date Monday, 5 December 2011
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between
Monday, 28 November 2011, and Friday, 2 December 2011, both dates inclusive.
Prospects
Over the past year we have experienced considerable growth and produced
strong returns for all stakeholders. Looking ahead the implications of the
ongoing global economic turmoil on financial markets are sobering, creating
a highly challenging investment environment for some years to come. Our
focus will continue to be on delivering trusted investment performance, and
over the next year we will seek to consolidate our institutional business
and nurture our retail and international franchises.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting, as well as the AC500 standards as issued by the
Accounting Practices Board or its successor, the requirements of the South
African Companies Act, Act 71 of 2008 and the Listings Requirements of the
JSE. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments which are stated at fair value. The condensed consolidated
financial statements are presented in rand, rounded to the nearest thousand.
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with
those presented in the previous annual financial statements.
These preliminary reviewed results have been prepared under the supervision of
Financial Manager, A Rhoda CA(SA).
2. Reclassification of comparative figures
Commissions collected in an agency capacity by the company have now been
excluded from revenue and other expenses in terms of IAS 18 Revenue. This has
resulted in a reduction of R61 million in the respective amounts on the face
of the 2010 consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This
reclassification has had no impact on the group`s reported results.
3. Related party transactions
The group, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various sale and
purchase transactions on an arm`s length basis at market rates with related
parties.
4. SARS review
From time to time, in common with other organisations, companies within the
group are subject to review by SARS. Presently the Life company is subject to
such a review, however the board is confident of the company`s position and
are of the view that the possibility of any loss being incurred is remote and
not capable of reliable estimation.
