TRADING UPDATE

Shareholders are advised that, for the year ended 30 June
2013, ARB expects its earnings per share to be between 16% and
20% higher and its headline earnings per share to be between
13% and 17% higher than its earnings per share and headline
earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2012,
respectively.

In accordance with Circular 3/2012 - Headline Earnings the
bargain purchase price achieved on the conclusion of the
acquisition of 100% of Industrial Cable Suppliers (Pty)
Limited has been excluded from the headline earnings
calculation resulting in the difference between the increase
in headline earnings per share and earnings per share.

ARB’s results for the year ended 30 June 2013 are expected to
be released on 15 August 2013.

The information on which this trading update has been based
