INTRODUCTION
Super Group's Board of Directors is pleased to report good results for the six months ended 31 December 2012. Despite
the difficult prevailing economic environment, the Group has achieved excellent growth in earnings mainly as a result of new
business generation across all three divisions.

A number of industries, throughout South Africa, experienced unprecedented strike action and labour unrest during the
period under review. Disruptions to Super Group's Supply Chain business as a result of the Road Freight Association strike
in September 2012 resulted in a 5% reduction in divisional revenue and profit for the period. Key indicators indicate that
South African consumer spending remained under pressure and, together with above inflationary cost increases, added to
the highly competitive trading environment. The retail consumer market in Australia remained subdued as a result of the
slowdown in commodity exports and the strong Australian Dollar. The good results are a testament to the resilience and
sustainability of the South African, Australian and sub-Saharan operations which have managed to increase earnings despite
highly competitive trading conditions and markets.

NAAMSA new car sales reported for the period grew by 8,3% to 31 December 2012 compared to 7,8% for the comparable
period to 31 December 2011. The Dealership Division performed well by increasing comparative new vehicle sales by 11,3%
on the prior reporting period.

The Group successfully implemented a Staff Empowerment Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Scheme
for the South African Operations, retaining its Level 3 B-BBEE rating.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Group's revenue increased by 16,3% to R5,429 million, with all businesses, other than FleetAfrica, reporting top-line
growth. The growth in revenue was mainly as a result of a significant increase in volumes in Supply Chain South Africa, SG Fleet
and Dealerships. The Group acquired the controlling shareholding in Digistics, a procurement and food distribution business.
Digistics' financial results were incorporated into the Group's results with effect from 1 October 2012.

Operating profit increased by 27,7% to R517 million for the period under review. The Group continued to improve its
operating margin to 9,5% (December 2011: 8,7%). All the divisions, with the exception of African Logistics, increased their
margins as a result of continued stringent focus on operational efficiencies and cost control.

The reduction of 48,2% to R27 million in net finance costs reflects the reduced average Full Maintenance Lease borrowings
and lower interest rates compared to the previous interim reporting period.

Profit before taxation increased by 38,9% to R490 million, reflecting the benefits of improved operational profitability and
lower net finance costs.

The effective tax rate for the six months to 31 December 2012 was 26,1% (December 2011: 24,7%). The increase in the tax
rate was mainly due to the increased contribution from SG Fleet.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the period under review increased by 19,4% to 95,3 cents (December 2011:
79,8 cents). Adjusted HEPS increased by 21,8% to 97,2 cents (December 2011: 79,8 cents) on the basis that the B-BBEE
scheme, amortisation of intangibles and acquisition costs to the amount of 1,9 cents per share are excluded from HEPS.

Total assets increased by 16,8% to R9,334 million (30 June 2012: R7,993 million) as a result of acquisitions and an increase in
working capital. The Group's Return on Net Operating Assets (RNOA), after tax, is 21,9% for the period under review compared
to the RNOA of 18,9% for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Super Group maintained a net cash position at 31 December 2012, improving net cash by 12,1% to R481 million from
R429 million at 30 June 2012. At 31 December 2011, the Group had net borrowings of R333 million.

Net working capital increased as a result of an increase in inventory and trade receivables. These increases are a
result of increased revenue and addition of the working capital from the acquisitions concluded during the period. The focus
of management on working capital continued to be a priority and, as a result net cash generated from operations, after
an increase in working capital of R42 million, was R606 million for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

Net capital expenditure amounted to R180 million over the interim period with the main expenses relating to the scheduled
replacement of vehicles in Supply Chain and African Logistics, combined with property additions in Dealerships.

During the period under review, the company also repurchased 3,57 million shares, totaling 1,13% of the issued share capital.
The total consideration relating to the share repurchases amounted to approximately R59 million.

The Group's Statement of Financial Position remains solid, reflecting a net asset value per share of 1 106 cents at
31 December 2012, up 5,9% from the 1 044 cents at 30 June 2012.

The Group's results for the six months ended 31 December 2012 and the prospects have not been reviewed or audited by
its auditors.

Supply Chain South Africa delivered a commendable set of results in an environment that continued to be highly competitive
and challenging. The increase in revenue, operating profit and profit before taxation for the six months ended 31 December 2012
was mainly driven by good sales volume growth across most of the operations within Supply Chain South Africa. The FMCG
and Staple Foods business secured five meaningful contracts. The Freight and Super Rent businesses performed in line with
expectations. Sherwood International returned to profitability on the back of the commencement of a major electrification
project in Ghana. The Micor business reported improved results and margins on the back of new contracts. SG Convenience
continued to grow by expanding its national customer base and successfully launching a number of new product ranges.
Haulcon performed in line with expectations although its business was affected by the disruptions at one of its mining
customers. Digistics met expectations and its results were included for the period 1 October 2012 to 31 December 2012.
Trans Africa Logistics (TAL) was closed effective 1 November 2012 as a direct result of the Zimbabwe freeze on chrome and
nickel exports. The closure costs of TAL have been included in the Services segment.

African Logistics performed adequately given the current market conditions affecting this business. Revenue and kilometres
travelled were down approximately 5% in comparison to the period ended 31 December 2011 as a result of turnaround problems
in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The results for the six months to 31 December 2011 reflected a foreign exchange
gain of R8 million against a marginal foreign exchange loss for the current period. The lower than expected mining activity
in Africa, exacerbated by the labour unrests in the DRC, also added to the lower than expected profitability reported by
African Logistics.

FleetAfrica performed above expectations given the expiration of the Eastern Cape Provincial Government (ECPG) and
the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) contracts in the previous financial year. FleetAfrica managed to secure new contracts and
successfully deploy, on an ad hoc basis, assets emanating from the previous CoJ contract.

SG Fleet continued to deliver an excellent performance in a competitive trading environment. The results were mainly
attributable to SG Fleet securing major contracts across all sectors. The second-hand vehicle market remained buoyant.
SG Fleet experienced lower maintenance costs and control of overheads was good. SG Fleet also took the decision to
account for any profit on disposal of assets as it occurs as opposed to only at year end. The comparative profit would have
been R47 million higher had this approach been previously applied. The strength of the Australian Dollar against the Rand
favourably impacted the accounting of the results in Super Group.

Dealerships reported satisfactory results which reflect the inclusion of five new dealerships and a solid performance by the
Finance and Insurance operations. New vehicle sales increased by 25,4% (11,3% for existing dealerships) over the period,
which was ahead of market growth. Total NAAMSA new vehicle sales for the six months to 31 December 2012 were up 8,3%.
New vehicle sales growth is slowing as it is off a higher base compared to the comparative period and is starting to reflect
a pullback in consumer spending. Dealerships continued to improve its operating margin, with a satisfying overall operating
margin of 2,5% (December 2011: 2,2%) for the period under review.

SERVICES
The Services segment includes the corporate functions, Emerald Insurance, the Mauritius operations and the closure costs
and operating losses of TAL. The Mauritius operations and Emerald Insurance performed in line with expectations during the
period.

PROSPECTS
The prospects for the South African economy remain mixed with muted growth rates expected for 2013. The outlook for the
global economy for 2013 is cautiously optimistic.

The highly competitive trading environment is also expected to continue. Nevertheless, the Group is confident that, with its
strong balance sheet, it is well positioned to continue its growth strategy both organically and through acquisitions in its core
divisions.

Supply Chain South Africa will continue to focus on niche opportunities within the food service, retail and pharmaceutical
sectors. The expansion of the Super Park facility is progressing well. SG Convenience and a new customer, on a long-term
lease, will occupy their respective warehouses towards the end of 2013.

African Logistics is assessing a number of opportunities in the territories in which it operates and is implementing strategies to
improve operating efficiencies in the DRC.

FleetAfrica continues to focus on the replacement of the loss of earnings resulting from the expiration of the ECPG and CoJ
contracts. FleetAfrica has a healthy new business pipeline and is expected to continue winning new contracts.

SG Fleet is expected to perform well as a result of its good order book, the rollout of a number of major new contracts and
strong new business prospects across all three territories in which the business operates.

Dealership's outlook reflects the market's expectation of single digit growth in new vehicle sales in 2013.

The Group strives to maintain a culture of service excellence in all areas of its business, to pursue new business opportunities
that will generate acceptable margins, and to evaluate value-accretive strategic opportunities.

In line with Super Group's stated strategy to use its cash to invest in acquisitions or to repurchase shares, a decision was taken
to declare no dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2012. The Board re-assesses this strategy on a regular basis.

The unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended 31 December 2012 will be available on the Group's website after
08:00 on Tuesday, 12 February 2013 and the presentation to the investor community can be viewed on the Group's website
