TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2012 KELLY GROUP LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1999/026249/06) ISIN: ZAE000093373 Share Code: KEL (“the group” or “the Company”) TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2012 In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”), companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they become aware that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous corresponding period. In line with the trading performance reported for the first six months, the group expects a reduced operating profit for the full year. After taking into account financing costs and an increased effective tax rate, this is expected to result in a headline loss per share for the year compared to headline earnings per share of 13.3 cents for the previous year. Further guidance on expected earnings and the expected ranges for earnings per share and headline earnings per share will be provided as soon as management has reached reasonable certainty on the numbers. It is anticipated that the results for the year ended 30 September 2012 will be published on or about 22 November 2012. This trading update has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s auditors.
