BASIS OF PREPARATION, ACCOUNTING POLICY AND COMPARATIVE FIGURES
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to interim financial
statements. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework
concepts, the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and must also, as a minimum,
contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The directors are responsible for the
preparation of the interim financial statements which were prepared under supervision of the Group financial
director, MJ Botha CA(SA).
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are
consistent with the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated annual financial
statements, with the exception of the implementation of the following new accounting standards, interpretations
and amendments to IFRS:
- IAS 19: Employee Benefits (effective 1 January 2013)
- IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2013)
- IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements (effective 1 January 2013)
- IFRS 12: Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities (effective 1 January 2013)
- IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement (effective 1 January 2013)
- Revised IAS 28: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective 1 January 2013)
- Revised IAS 27: Separate Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2013)
- Amendments to the transition requirements in IFRS 10: 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11: 'Joint
Arrangements'and IFRS 12:'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' (effective 1 January 2013)
Comparative financial statements have been restated, where applicable, to account for the amendments to and
adoption of the following standards:
IAS 19: Employee benefits requires the immediate recognition of all past service costs; and interest cost and
expected return on plan assets are replaced with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit liability/(asset). The Group has applied the standard retrospectively in accordance
with the transitional provisions of the standard.
IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated
financial statements when an entity controls other entities. Based on these principles, certain entities which were
previously classified as joint ventures are now classified as subsidiaries. The Group has applied the standard
retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard.
IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements require that the Group applies equity accounting for joint ventures and eliminates the
proportionate consolidation option. Previously, the Group proportionately consolidated its joint ventures, which
required that it included its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of joint ventures on a line-for-line
basis in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the investment in joint ventures is initially
recognised at cost and the carrying amounts are increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of profit or
loss and movements in other comprehensive income of joint ventures after the acquisition date. The Group has applied
the standard retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard.
The effect of the restatement on the comparative financial statements is summarised below:

OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Reported headline earnings rose 22,9% to R1,1 billion, while operating profit increased 27,2% to R1,5 billion.
In April 2013, the Group acquired Burn Stewart Distillers Limited (BSD). The results of this entity for the six months,
the remeasurement of the contingent purchase consideration payable on the BSD acquisition, as well as new business
development expenses, are included in earnings.
Normalised headline earnings and operating profit, which exclude the results of BSD, as well as the remeasurement of
the contingent purchase consideration and the full impact of new business development expenses in the current period,
increased by 8,8% and 13,4% respectively.
Revenue grew 15,1% to R9,9 billion on a sales volume increase of 5,5%.
Domestic revenue increased by 5,2% and sales volumes by 3,1% in a challenging economic environment which continued to
curtail consumer demand. Distell's cider and RTD (ready-to-drink) brands continued their strong performance. The
spirits portfolio showed a volume decline, mostly as a result of the depressed performance of the brandy category.
Sales volumes of the wine portfolio declined marginally.
International sales volumes, including Africa, rose by 12,7% while revenue improved 48,9%, benefiting from a weaker
rand and the addition of the BSD brand portfolio. Ciders and RTDs once again delivered strong volume growth. The wine
and spirits portfolios delivered growth of 6,4% and 54,0% respectively.
Sub-Saharan African markets, outside South Africa, continued to deliver exceptional results with strong volume growth
across all categories. The region contributed 55,1% to foreign revenue.
The financial results for the period, supported by satisfactory overall revenue growth, were positively influenced by
a weaker rand. Steep increases in excise duties and marketing expenses were partially offset by foreign currency gains,
the benefits from improved efficiencies in the business and the normalisation of certain raw material input costs.
Operating expenses increased by 15,3% while revenue rose 15,1%. Operating profit margin, excluding the gain on the
remeasurement of the BSD contingent purchase consideration, declined marginally from 14,0% to 13,8%.
Net finance costs increased from R23,9 million to R110,2 million, mainly as a result of increased borrowings during the
period.
The effective tax rate decreased from 28,6% to 26,5%, due to non-taxable income.
INVESTMENT AND FUNDING
Total assets increased by 46,9% to R16,1 billion. Total assets, excluding new business acquisitions since the previous
interim reporting period, grew 15,4% to R12,7 billion.
Excluding the impact of new business acquisitions, investment in net working capital, on an organic basis, increased by
20,7% to R4,3 billion and inventory by 12,0% to R4,9 billion. Of this, bulk spirits in maturation, planned in accordance
with the Group's longer-term demand projections, grew 20,5%. Bottled stock and packaging materials reflect an increase of
5,7% on the previous year.
Capital expenditure for the six months amounted to R387,2 million, of which R144,3 million was spent on the replacement
of assets. A further R242,9 million was directed to the expansion of capacity, mainly at cider and whisky manufacturing
facilities and expanding our operations in sub-Saharan Africa.
Cash retained for the six months amounted to R143,7 million (2012: R241,1 million). The Group remains in a strong
financial position, as shown by a debt to debt-plus-equity ratio of 25,1% and a debt-equity ratio of 33,6% at the end of
the reporting period.
IMPACT OF RESTRUCTURED BEE TRANSACTION
As disclosed in a circular to shareholders on 17 December 2013, Distell’s original BEE transaction was restructured on
17 January 2014. The 17,7 million additional shares, issued to members of the BEE Consortium in terms of the transaction,
will only impact the weighted average number of shares in issue and therefore earnings and headline earnings per share
for the full year. The additional shares are, however, entitled to the interim dividend and therefore impact dividends
per share for this reporting period.
PROSPECTS
We believe challenging trading conditions in many of our markets will persist for the remainder of the year. However,
the strength, appeal and diversity of our brands, our enhanced capacity to trade across a spectrum of markets and the
security of our financial position will allow us to continue pursuing our strategic course successfully.
DIRECTORATE
Mr Duimpie Bayly retired as non-executive director during the period. Mr Richard Rushton has been appointed as executive
director to the board from 1 November 2013 and as managing director of the Group in the place of Mr Jan Scannell who
retired on 31 December 2013.
CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The directors have resolved to declare a gross cash dividend, number 51, of 154,0 cents (2012: 152,0 cents) per share for
the interim period ended 31 December 2013.
The dividend has been declared from income reserves. There are no STC credits available for utilisation and the dividends
tax rate is 15%. Dividends tax will amount to 23,1 cents per ordinary share. As a result, ordinary shareholders who are
liable to pay dividends tax will receive a net dividend amount of 130,9 cents per share. Shareholders exempt from paying
dividends tax will receive 154,0 cents per share. The issued ordinary share capital as at 20 February 2014 is 221 435 026
ordinary shares. The company's income tax reference number is 9115001712.
The dividend will be payable to shareholders on record on Friday, 14 March 2014, and will be paid on Monday, 17 March 2014.
The last day to trade cum dividend will be on Friday, 7 March 2014, and shares commence trading ex dividend from
Monday, 10 March 2014. Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 10 March 2014, and
Friday, 14 March 2014, both days inclusive.

popular spirit sold in Duty-free, according to IWSR.
BISQUIT
Thanks to a positive momentum in its traditional markets (Belgium, Switzerland, France) and strong development in new ones
(South Africa, Duty-free, Nigeria), Bisquit is consolidating its growth. This growth was supported by innovation
(Experience Bisquit Coffret) and limited editions (XO Gold). For the fifth year in a row, Bisquit has won medals for
each of its authentic French cognacs at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), the only cognac House to do so.
NEDERBURG
Nederburg continues to raise its profile further as the official wine sponsor of MasterChef South Africa, now in its third
season. As the country’s most awarded winery, Nederburg has maintained its reputation for excellence, excelling at the most
recent Decanter World Wine Awards, International Wine & Spirit Competition, International Sweet Wine Challenge and Veritas
Awards. Nederburg also achieved four five-star ratings in the current edition of the Platter’s South African Wine Guide.
SAVANNA
Savanna continues to enjoy global growth and is now available in more than 60 countries. The recent launch of Savanna Dark
has created a stir in the marketplace as it is the first brand to be launched in black glass in South Africa. The brand
also won two coveted digital awards recognising the brand’s dedication to social media.
BAIN’S CAPE MOUNTAIN WHISKY
This fast-growing local brand was recently in the global spotlight when it won the title of World’s Best Grain Whisky at the
2013 World Whisky Awards.
BUNNAHABHAIN
Bunnahabhain’s distinctive 12, 18 and 25 year old single malt whiskies, all un-chillfiltered, bring back time-honoured traditions

produced on the world-famous Isle of Islay, was awarded gold at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, double gold for the
second consecutive year at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a trophy for the Best Islay Single Malt in the “21 years
and over” category at the World Whisky Awards.
