3. Business combinations
In line with the group's strategy to grow its core businesses, the group acquired,
with effect from 1 March 2012, the remaining 50% interest in
Nampak Wiegand Glass (Pty) Ltd ("Glass") which was held by Wiegand-Glas (SA) (Pty) Ltd
for an amount of R974.5 million paid in cash.
During the previous year, the group acquired the entire equity of FourFourTwo Limited
with effect from 1 October 2010 for the amount of R3.0 million paid in cash.

Gain on revaluation of originally held interest 44.0 -
Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired (697.4) (2.9)
Goodwill recognised 321.1 0.1
Goodwill arose on the acquisitions as the cost of the combinations included a control premium.
The consideration paid also included the expected benefits of revenue growth and future profitability.
These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria
for identifiable intangible assets.
The goodwill recognised is not deductible for tax purposes.
Cash flow impact of the acquisitions
Consideration paid in cash 974.5 3.0
Bank overdraft/(cash) acquired 3.0 (1.7)
Net outflow on acquisition 977.5 1.3
Impact of the acquisition on the results of the group (current year)
Included in the group net revenue and profit after tax for the period is R224.6 million and R29.4 million
respectively which is attributable to the remaining interest acquired in Glass.
Had Glass been acquired with effect 1 October 2011, the net revenue of the group from continuing
operations would have been R17 808.2 million, while the profit after tax would have been R1 207.7 million.
4. Disposed operations
During the previous year, the operations of Nampak Paper Holdings Ltd, Interpak Books (Pty) Ltd, Disaki Cores
and Tubes (Pty) Ltd, as well as the L&CP and Tubs businesses, were sold in line with the groups strategy to
focus on core operations and emerging markets.
Interpak Books (Pty) Ltd, Disaki Cores and Tubes (Pty) Ltd and the L&CP business were included in the
South Africa Paper and Flexibles segment, while the Tubs business was included in the South Africa Plastics
segment, for segmental reporting purposes. The results of the Nampak Paper Holdings Ltd operations were

10.Translation reserve movement
Due to the weakening of the rand towards the end of the financial year, a translation gain of
R143.4 million (2011: R322.0 million gain) was recognised for the year. The closing exchange rate
at 30 September was £1: R13.39 (2011: £1: R12.58).
11.Related party transactions
Group companies, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various purchase and sale transactions
with associates, joint ventures and other related parties. The effect of these transactions is included
in the financial performance and results of the group.
12.Independent auditors' opinion
The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the groups financial statements for the
year ended 30 September 2012. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
They have issued an unmodified audit opinion. These condensed financial statements have been derived from the
group financial statements and are consistent in all material respects with the group financial statements.
A copy of their audit report is available for inspection at the companys registered office. Any reference to
future financial performance included in this announcement, has not been reviewed or reported on by the
companys auditors.
The auditor's report does not necessarily cover all of the information contained in this announcement. Shareholders
are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's work they
should obtain a copy of that report together with the accompanying financial information from the registered
office of the company.
Group performance
Headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 16.5% to 200.8 cents from 172.4 cents as a
result of the improvement in operating profit and a reduction in the effective tax rate.
Trading profit and operating profit from continuing operations increased by 16% and 20% respectively. Operating
profit in 2012 was favourably impacted by the reduction in abnormal items year-on-year. The foodcan, glass, corrugated,
plastics and Africa businesses were the main contributors to the improved results. Trading profit from the rest of
Africa increased from R122 million to R316 million due primarily to the Angolan and Zambian operations.
The trading margin improved to 10.2% from 9.8%.
Net finance costs increased by 41% to R169 million as a result of higher debt. Net debt to equity increased to
23% from 10% mainly due to the acquisition of the remaining 50% shareholding in the glass business. Net debt
increased to R1.4 billion from R0.6 billion in September 2011.
The effective tax rate was 27.2% compared to 32.8% in 2011. The utilisation of assessed losses against capital
gains in the United Kingdom operations, the gain on revaluation of Nampaks original interest in Nampak Wiegand
Glass (Pty) Ltd together with a portion of the 2011 final dividend not attracting STC, contributed to the lower
effective tax rate.
The final dividend has been increased by 20% to 89 cents per share making a total of 129.5 cents for the year, which
is also an increase of 20% on the total distribution in 2011.
Total capital expenditure amounted to R1.08 billion compared to R676 million in 2011 with R351 million spent on the
refurbishment of the glass furnace and R177 million spent on equipment to manufacture a new range of beverage cans.
Excluding acquisitions and foreign exchange translation differences, working capital increased by R340 million mainly
due to higher inventory levels of imported raw materials, as well as increases in both raw materials and finished
goods inventories in Angola.

Trading profit increased by 6% and the margin declined slightly to 9.6%. The increase in trading profit was 8.6% if the businesses sold
in 2011 are excluded. There was good improvement in the results of Metals, Glass and Plastics. Paper and Flexibles
performance was better than last year if the businesses which were disposed or closed are excluded. Tissue profits were lower.
Rest of Africa
Trading profit increased by 159% mainly due to increased contributions from Angola, which operated for a full year and from Zambia.
Nigeria was affected by socio-political factors and profitability was largely flat on last year. Margins in the rest of Africa
increased to 15.1% compared to 9.0% in 2011.
United Kingdom
Trading profit increased by 14% to £9.8 million due to an improvement in margins and costs being well controlled; sales were
at a similar level to last year. The increase in rand terms was 29%.

South Africa
The inclusion of 100% of the glass business for seven months and an improved performance from the food can business contributed to
the increase in trading profit. Sales volumes of beverage cans were substantially higher than last year but lower margins affected
profitability of the business. The conversion of beverage cans from tinplate to aluminium is in progress.
There was good demand for fish and fruit cans but sales of vegetable cans were flat on last year. Sales of aerosol and paint cans
showed modest growth but demand for diversified cans was generally lower.
There was lower demand for returnable beer bottles, wine and alcoholic fruit beverage bottles but other categories showed marginally positive
growth.
Rest of Africa
The beverage can operation in Angola ran at full capacity and performed to expectations. The operation in Nigeria was negatively affected by
socio-political factors which resulted in lower consumer demand. The businesses in East Africa performed well on good demand for food cans and crowns.

South Africa
Trading profit in 2011 included R28 million in respect of businesses that were sold or closed. The like-for-like increase in trading profit in 2012
was 24%.
The corrugated business continued to improve with the paper mill contributing significantly to the better performance. Demand for corrugated boxes
from the agricultural sector showed some growth but the commercial sector was weak in line with lower economic activity.
The flexible business continued to perform well but there was a marked slowdown in demand in the second half of the year.
The rationalisation of the cartons and labels business was completed with benefits starting to flow during the second half of the year. The costs of
the rationalisation and lower consumer demand dampened performance.
Paper sack demand was generally depressed but market share gains in the sugar and milling sectors together with higher cement sack exports,
contributed to a satisfactory performance.
Rest of Africa
Trading profit increased by 151% with a commensurate increase in trading margin.
There was strong demand for paper sacks in Kenya and for cigarette cartons in Nigeria. In Zambia there was substantial growth of sorghum beer
cartons due partly to new legislation banning unpackaged sorghum beer as well as exports to countries in East and West Africa. Malawi showed a
moderate improvement.

South Africa
Trading profit increased by 17% with good performances in most businesses.
Sales units of plastic bottles for milk and juice were lower as a result of restructuring that took place in the dairy industry during the year.
Margins also came under pressure. Sorghum beer carton demand was very strong and exports to Botswana contributed to increased sales volumes. There was
good demand for PET bottles for carbonated soft drinks.
The super-shorty plastic closure for beverage bottles and closures for energy-drink bottles both enjoyed good growth. Metal wine-closure demand
was moderate and was constrained by increased bulk wine exports.
Plastic crate sales to the beverage industry were lower and there was minimal growth in sales of plastic drums. Lower margins impacted
profitability.
The tubes business performed well and enjoyed good growth in sales volumes.
United Kingdom
Trading profit increased by 14% to £9.8 million and was achieved despite challenging conditions in the United Kingdom including record-high polymer
prices and a price war amongst retailers in the fresh milk market. Good cost control contributed to the strong performance.

The tissue and diaper business had a disappointing year with trading profit down by 14% and margins down by 1.2 percentage points.
There was marginal growth in sales volumes of toilet tissue. Disposable diaper volumes increased but fierce price competition across Tissues range
of products impacted on performance. This, together with insurance excesses on waste paper fires at Bellville and Kliprivier during the year,
contributed to the lower trading profit and margin.
Corporate activity
In line with the groups strategy to grow its core businesses, the group acquired with effect from 1 March 2012, the remaining 50% interest in
Nampak Wiegand Glass (Pty) Ltd and with effect from 1 November 2012 the remaining 50% interest in Elopak South Africa (Pty) Ltd.
Prospects
The strategy of investing in our core businesses in South Africa and growing and investing in businesses across Africa over the last three years is
expected to enable the group to further improve on performance in 2013.
