Audited group results
for the year ended 30 September 2012 and cash dividend declaration
Highlights
Normalised headline earnings per share up by 9%
Total cash dividend per share up by 12%
Commentary
Reunert is pleased to report a 9% increase in normalised headline earnings per share to 644,4cps from 590,0cps. Although revenues from
our various businesses remained under pressure, particularly in the second half of the financial year, revenue increased by 7% to
R11 662 million. Operating profit increased by 10% to R1 525 million.
Basic earnings decreased by 19% due to the abnormal profit of R346 million realised on the sale of NSN last year. Headline earnings per
share grew 10% to 658,3 cents.
Review of operations
CBi-electric
Revenue increased by 9% to R3 634 million due to strong demand for certain electrical products as well as increased exports. Operating
profit remained at R593 million.
Notwithstanding the slower than expected rollout of state infrastructure, constrained spend in the mining sector and lower levels of
residential and commercial property development, the continued investment in the services business led to steady growth in the energy
cables business.
The low voltage business experienced strong demand for its products from international markets. Growing competition and a lower demand
for circuit breakers in the South African residential market led to a decrease in manufacturing volumes, although a bundled product offering
allowed for a new revenue source.
Telecommunications cables once again experienced a difficult year but, with the successful development and qualification of the high bit
rate ADSL cable for Telkom, its revenues increased slightly. The roll-out of the national long-haul project also supported revenue growth.
Nashua
Nashua performed well in quiet market conditions with revenue increasing by 4% to R7 218 million whilst operating profit increased by 6%
to R839 million.
The office automation business increased unit sales over last year in a market characterised by lacklustre demand and heightened
competition. Revenue was further supported by the benefit of a full years trading from franchise acquisitions in 2011. Operating profit,
however, was adversely affected by a sharp weakening of the Rand that exacerbated mounting pressure on margins.
Nashua Communications was transformed from being a provider of voice networks to a converged information-technology solutions
provider. The acquisition of a CISCO service provider will add to this converged service offering in the next year. Cost control and
efficiencies led to improved margins.
Nashua ECN continued with the migration of the least cost routing (LCR) clients of Nashua Mobile to the VoIP, as well as pursuing new
clients. At year end the business was routing almost 3,5 million business call voice minutes per day. As a consequence, ECN has delivered
a pleasing result, both in terms of revenue growth and operating profit.
Nashua Communications and Nashua ECN were merged on 1 October 2012 to enable the single operation to offer corporate customers a
compelling converged voice and data service.
Nashua Mobile performed satisfactorily despite the reduction in the interconnect rates and the loss of LCR customers. The post-paid
customer base grew by 6% to 897 534 customers while the average revenue per customer declined by 19% to R337. Although, as
expected, revenue declined slightly, judicious cost control allowed operating profit margins to remain constant.
Pansolutions, previously Nashua Electronics, experienced a demanding year but made good progress in stabilising its office automation
channel.
Quince, the divisions financing operation, performed well with revenue remaining constant and margins improving slightly. The rental book
grew by 11% in the year. The discontinued Quince asset rentals book has been substantially repaid and no further losses are expected.
Reutech
The uneven demand that characterises this segment is reflected in the increase in revenue for the year of 26% to R806 million with a
substantial increase in operating profit to R151 million. This was due to strong performances from all the businesses but, in particular, the
contribution from Fuchs through execution of a long anticipated export order. Reutech Solutions repositioned its business and reflected a
healthy operating profit increase of 95%. The continued success of the mining surveillance radar increased revenue within Reutech Radar.
Reutech Communications acquired the high frequency radio business of SAAB Grintek, which completes our product offering.
Prospects
The local and global economic environment remains uncertain and we expect 2013 to be a challenging year. We remain committed to our
strategy of diversifying our revenue streams and promoting efficiencies within our businesses.
We will continue to act with prudence and foresight and shall, of course, plan for and pursue earnings growth.
The financial information on which the above forecast is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the companys external auditors.
Dividend
The final gross cash dividend has been increased to 275 cents per share (2011:253 cents per share) which is a 9% increase over last year.
Directorate and company secretary
Mr GJ Oosthuizen resigned from the board on 14 October 2011.
Ms KW Mzondeki resigned from the board on 19 November 2012.
Ms NG Camhee resigned as company secretary on 26 April 2012. Reunert Management Services Limited was appointed as company
secretary on that day.
Cash dividend
Notice is hereby given that a gross final cash dividend No 173 of 275 cents per ordinary share (2011: 253 cents per share) has been
declared by the directors for the year ended 30 September 2012, bringing the total cash dividend for the year to 370 cents per share
(2011:330 cents per share).
The dividend has been declared from income reserves and no STC credits have been used.
A dividend withholding tax of 15% will be applicable to all shareholders who are not exempt from, or who do not qualify for a reduced rate
of, withholding tax. The net dividend payable to shareholders subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% thus amounts to 233,75 cents per
share.
The issued share capital at the declaration date is 200 310 185 ordinary shares. Reunerts income tax reference number is 9100/101/71/7P.
In compliance with the requirements of Strate, the following dates are applicable:
Last date to trade (cum dividend) Friday, 11 January 2013
First date of trading (ex dividend) Monday, 14 January 2013
Record date Friday, 18 January 2013
Payment date Monday, 21 January 2013
Shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their share certificates between Monday, 14 January 2013 and Friday, 18 January
2013, both dates inclusive.

Note 5
BEE transactions# (unaudited)
It is the groups policy that where the significant risks and rewards of ownership in respect
of equity interests have not passed to BEE partners, these are not recognised as non-
controlling interests.
Had the non-controlling interests been recognised, the effect would be the following:
- Net economic interest in current year profit that is attributable to all BEE partners 22,2 13,8
- Balance sheet interest that is economically attributable to all BEE partners 107,7 77,3
# The unaudited pro forma financial information above has been prepared for illustrative
purposes only to provide information on how the normalised earnings adjustments might
have impacted on the financial results of the group. Because of its nature, the unaudited
pro forma financial information may not be a fair reflection of the groups results of
operation, financial position, changes in equity or cash flows.
The underlying information used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial
information has been prepared using the relevant group accounting policy. The amounts
of the adjustments are consistent with the amounts recorded under International Financial
Reporting Standards.
The adjustments are expected to continue until such time as risks and rewards of
ownership transfer to the BEE partners.
The directors of the group are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation
of the unaudited pro forma financial information. Their responsibility includes determining
that the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the
basis stated; the basis is consistent with the accounting policy of the group; and the pro
forma adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial
information disclosed in terms of the JSE Limited (JSE) listing requirements.
The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the
Deloitte & Touche unmodified independent reporting accountants report thereon, which is
