RTO/RTN/RTOP - Rex Trueform Clothing Company Limited - Unaudited Interim Group Results for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 Rex Trueform Clothing Company Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Reg No. 1937/009839/06) Share codes: RTO - RTN - RTOP ISIN: ZAE000006144 - ZAE000009700 - ZAE000006151 Unaudited Interim Group Results for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 REVENUE UP 4.9% OPERATING PROFIT DOWN 16.0% HEADLINE EARNINGS PER SHARE DOWN 24.6% Commentary Group results The withdrawal of Duty Credit Certificate benefits which were utilised by the group in the previous period had a materially negative impact on profit during the half-year under review. Furthermore the percentage increase in operating costs exceeded the 4.9% increase in turnover. The above factors have had a negative effect on net margin. The operating profit from continuing operations accordingly reduced by 16% on the comparative period. Headline earnings for the half-year amounted to 80.5 cents per share from continuing operations (97.7 cents in 2010). Retail The Queenspark retail segment grew sales by 4.9% during a period in which trading was disrupted by the refurbishment of a number of stores and also building alterations in some major shopping malls. In addition trading conditions remained challenging. Retail sales were further impacted by the closure of three non-performing stores during the past 12 months. Property segment The strategy of the group is to redevelop certain of the group`s properties where viable. Prospects We anticipate that there will be further deterioration in margins and profitability in the second half of the financial year due to escalating expenses and difficult trading conditions. Any reference to future financial performance included in this statement has not been reviewed and reported on by the company`s external auditors and does not constitute an earnings forecast.
