Rudolf Fourie, CEO of Raubex Group, said: "The past year has been a challenging one for the 
construction industry, characterised by extremely competitive trading conditions, particularly 
in the road construction space. Strong performances from our materials operations and Raubex 
Infrastructure, which has now successfully established its presence and reputation in the 
marketplace, have helped mitigate the impact of a difficult local operating environment.

"Good progress has been made in growing our international exposure and we are pleased to have 
secured significant contracts in Zambia and Namibia.

"The Group has maintained a strong balance sheet and cash position during the year and looking 
ahead we will focus on acquisitions that strengthen our vertically integrated model and on growing 
our current order book with improved margins."

Business combinations
Tosas Holdings (Pty) Ltd
On 26 April 2013 the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Tosas Holdings (Pty) Ltd from 
Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd for a purchase price of R120 million in cash. Tosas is a manufacturer and 
distributor of value added bituminous products used primarily for road construction activities 
and their operations include several bitumen processing and storage facilities in the inland 
region of South Africa as well as in Namibia and Botswana. The acquisition represents a strong 
strategic fit for Raubex as an integrated road construction and rehabilitation company operating 
across southern Africa. The company contributed revenues of R284,8 million and net loss of 
R3,5 million for the period from 26 April 2013 to 28 February 2014. If the acquisition had 
occurred on 1 March 2013, contributions to Group revenue would have been R355,7 million and 
net loss of R4,9 million.

Details of the net assets acquired, purchase consideration and goodwill are as follows:

                                                              R'000

COMMENTARY
Financial overview
Revenue increased 12,2% to R6,33 billion and operating profit increased by 11,6% to R539,9 million 
from the corresponding prior year. The increase in operating profit is mainly due to the R58,8 
million provision made for an administrative penalty payable to the Competition Commission during 
the prior year. Normalised operating profit, excluding the effect of this provision, decreased 
0,5% from R542,6 million to R539,9 million. Operationally, a strong performance from the Group's 
materials division and a positive contribution from the new infrastructure division were offset 
by challenging market conditions that have persisted in the road construction sector during 
the year.

Profit before tax increased 12,0% to R534,5 million.

The effective tax rate decreased to 29,0% from 33,2% due to the non-tax deductible nature of the 
provision made for the Competition Commission penalty during the prior year.

Earnings per share increased 17,2% to 191,3 cents with headline earnings per share increasing 
17,9% to 187,1 cents.

Group operating profit margin remained flat at 8,5% (2013: 8,6%).

Cash generated from operations decreased 12,5% to R751,4 million (2013: R859,0 million) 
before finance charges and taxation. The decrease is largely attributable to the payment of
the R58,8 million Competition Commission penalty as well as an increase in the Group's working 
capital requirements during the year.

Trade and other receivables decreased by 1,9% to R1,07 billion.

Inventories increased by 71,2% to R420,2 million as a result of a strategic increase in bitumen 
and aggregate stock on hand and also the inventory requirements of Tosas which amounted to 
R75,2 million at year-end.

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment increased 4,9% to R483,3 million, mainly 
due to the replacement of plant and equipment, capital expenditure was impacted during the year 
by the depreciating Rand.

The Group's net cash inflow for the year was R35,6 million after taking into account the 
acquisition in cash of Tosas and the settlement of the Competition Commission penalty. 
Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year increased 4,3% to R871,3 million 
(2013: R835,7 million).

Operational overview
Roadmac
Roadmac is a specialist in the manufacturing and laying of asphalt, chip and spray, 
surface dressing, enrichments and slurry seals.

The division delivered a satisfactory performance for the year in spite of the continued impact 
of strong competition in the light rehabilitation market. The pressure on tender margins has 
eased slightly and margins have stabilised at the current levels. However, conditions are 
expected to remain challenging in the year ahead. The division has secured a healthy order 
book and the volume of work out for tender has remained steady. Asphalt manufacturing margins 
improved slightly during the year due to the recovery of bitumen storage costs and production 
from new technology asphalt plants.

Revenue for the division decreased 9,0% to R2,51 billion (2013: R2,75 billion) as a result of 
the division's focus on securing a better quality order book. Operating profit increased by 
4,9% to R209,3 million (2013: R199,5 million).

The divisional operating profit margins increased to 8,4% (2013: 7,2%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R85,5 million during the year (2013: R126,3 million).

Roadmac has a secured order book of R1,78 billion (2013: R2,17 billion).

Raubex Construction
Raubex Construction is the road and civil infrastructure construction division focused on the 
key areas of new road construction and heavy road rehabilitation.

The division's performance reflects the intense competition experienced in the road construction 
and heavy rehabilitation market during this cycle. This became particularly pronounced as the 
lower margin contracts in the order book were realised. Industrial strike action and an abnormal 
number of adverse weather days experienced in the second half of the year disrupted production 
and further impacted the division's performance for the year. The volume of work out to tender 
has remained steady although there is no sign of any margin improvements in the South African 
market as competitive pressures persist.

Revenue for the division decreased 3,1% to R1,18 billion (2013: R1,22 billion) whilst operating 
profit decreased 35,1% to R40,0 million (2013: R61,7 million).

The divisional operating profit margins decreased to 3,4% (2013: 5,1%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R51,2 million during the year (2013: R37,1 million).

Raubex Construction has a secured order book of R2,07 billion (2013: R1,20 billion).

Raumix
Raumix is the materials division of the Group with its core focus spread over three areas 
including contract crushing, production of aggregates for the commercial market and materials 
handling for the mining industry.

Overall, the division delivered a good performance for the year with commercial quarries 
reporting strong results driven by improved conditions and increased volumes sold into the 
residential and commercial building markets as well as infrastructure development supporting 
quarries in the Eastern Cape province. The contract crushing operations continued to be affected 
by the competitive conditions across the construction industry which have put pressure throughout 
the supply chain. Mining and material handling operations reported stable results with little 
disruptions resulting from industrial actions during the year. However, as these operations are 
focused on the gold and diamond mining industries, they will continue to be exposed to sector 
related risk, including commodity cycles.

Revenue for the division increased 8,2% to R1,62 billion (2013: R1,50 billion) and operating 
profit increased by 18,4% to R259,2 million (2013: R218,9 million).

The divisional operating profit margins increased to 16,0% (2013: 14,6%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R320,3 million during the year (2013: R283,8 million) 
mainly as a result of the replacement of ageing crushing and material handling plant to service 
ongoing contracts.

Raumix has a secured order book of R1,67 billion (2013: R1,10 billion).

Raubex Infrastructure
Raubex Infrastructure was established during the prior year and specialises in disciplines 
outside of the road construction sector, including energy (with a specific focus on solar 
and wind), rail, telecommunications, pipeline construction and housing infrastructure projects.

The division has delivered a satisfactory performance for the year and successfully executed a 
number of projects. Through a focus on quality of work and delivery, the division has been able 
to establish a solid reputation in the marketplace and continued to grow its order book.

This is the division's first full year in operations and as a result, revenue increased to 
R730,8 million (2013: R162,8 million) and operating profit increased to R37,0 million 
(2013: R3,7 million) with an operating profit margin of 5,1% (2013: 2,3%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R22,8 million (2013: R13,7 million).

Raubex Infrastructure has a secured order book of R909,4 million (2013: R768,3 million).

Tosas
Tosas is a manufacturer and distributor of value added bituminous products used primarily for 
road construction activities.

Tosas was acquired by the Group on 26 April 2013 following a lengthy divestiture process by 
Sasol which resulted in lower sales volumes compared to historical levels. Management is 
confident that the lost market share will be recovered over the medium term whilst short-term 
synergies continue to be achieved, including through the efficient supply of bitumen to 
contract sites. Tosas is expected to return to profitability in the year ahead.

Tosas contributed external revenues of R284,8 million with an operating loss of R5,5 million. 
Total revenue including inter-group supply amounted to R411,5 million.

Tosas has secured an external order book of R127,2 million.

International
The Group's international operations ("Africa") reported stable results for the year with most 
of the activities taking place in Namibia, where various road maintenance contracts and diamond 
mining and material handling contracts are in progress. Raubex Construction commenced works on 
the upgrading of the road section from Rosh Pinah to Oranjemund in the south of the country 
towards the end of the year with a total contract value of R558,6 million.

The newly established Infrastructure division successfully completed a contract for the 
installation of a fibre optic cable in the southern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Operations in Zambia were reduced during the year but the Group has maintained a presence in 
anticipation of the award of two Link 8000 road construction projects. Post year-end the Group 
was awarded the contract for the upgrading of the Safwa to Chinsali road for ZMW265 million 
and expects the ZMW540 million contract for the upgrading of the Mpika-Nabwalya-Mfuwe road 
to be awarded in due course.

Internationally, revenue decreased 5,9% to R434,5 million (2013: R461,7 million) and 
operating profit decreased by 4,1% to R80,8 million (2013: R84,2 million) as a result 
of reduced operations in Zambia during the second half of the year.

Operating profit margins increased to 18,6% (2013: 18,2%).

Prospects
Trading conditions in the South African road construction industry are expected to remain 
challenging but stable in the short term. Competitive pressures, particularly in the heavy 
rehabilitation and construction sector are expected to continue in the year ahead.

The volume of work out to tender is expected to remain steady and sufficient to maintain 
the Group's order book. Improvements in the sector remain dependent on the timely roll out 
of the government's infrastructure development plan, the successful implementation of 
tolling and associated revenue collection as well as the continued handover of strategic 
and primary road networks, and associated maintenance budgets, from provincial government 
to SANRAL.

The Group will continue to seek growth through expansion into Africa in both the road 
construction and the mining and material handling sectors.

The award of the Safwa to Chinsali road contract in Zambia will support the performance 
of the Raubex Construction Division in the coming year, whilst a new crushing and material 
handling contract recently secured for the Tschudi Copper Mine project in Namibia will 
strengthen Raumix's presence in Namibia.

The Group has grown its secured order book to R6,55 billion (2013: R5,23 billion) with 26% 
of the order book attributable to contracts in Africa.

The Infrastructure division has now established its reputation in the market and has 
encouraging prospects to grow its order book.

The Tosas acquisition represents a strong strategic fit for Raubex as an integrated road 
construction and rehabilitation company as it ensures an uninterrupted supply of bitumen 
and modified binders to the Group and its external market. Encouraging progress has been 
made in bedding down this acquisition and a return to profitability is expected in the 
year ahead.

Furthermore, Raubex is currently in the process of completing two acquisitions that have 
been submitted to the Competition Commission and which subject to their approval and other 
conditions precedent will lead to geographical diversification and contribute to the 
earnings of the materials and asphalt operations.

The Group has maintained a healthy balance sheet and a strong cash position during the 
year through cautious management and will continue to explore acquisition opportunities 
that support the Group's vertically integrated model.
