TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a listed
company is required to issue a trading statement once it is
satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
financial results for the period to be reported upon next will
differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous
corresponding period.
Shareholders are referred to Annexure 1 of the Quantum Foods pre-
listing statement issued on 18 September 2014 (“the Pre-Listing
Statement”) for details of the carve-out financial results of
Quantum Foods for the year ended 30 September 2013 (“Carve-out
Historical Financials”). The Carve-out Historical Financials should
be read together with the pro-forma financial information of Quantum
Foods set out in Annexure 5 of the Pre-listing Statement (“the Pro
Forma Financials”).
The Pro Forma Financials are based on the Carve-out Historical
Financials and have been adjusted for the following items:
• the intergroup loan account of R1.3 billion payable to Pioneer
Food Group Limited (“Pioneer Foods”) was capitalised in net
invested equity on 1 October 2012 for purposes of the statement
of comprehensive income and on 30 September 2013 for purposes
of the statement of financial position;
• interest income earned on intergroup loans to subsidiaries of
R8.5 million and finance costs incurred on the intergroup loan
payable to Pioneer Foods of R94.7 million were reversed; and
• the headline earnings per share and earnings per share were
based on the actual number of shares in issue of Quantum Foods
at 30 September 2014, being 233 284 332 shares.
Quantum Foods management are of the view that the Pro Forma
Financials should be the most appropriate basis for comparison with
the financial results for the year ended 30 September 2014.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised that in respect of the year
ended 30 September 2014 the Company is expecting to announce
headline earnings per share of between 10.4 cents and 12.0 cents,
being an increase of between 230% and 250% compared to the headline
loss of 8 cents per share in the Pro Forma Financials and being an
increase of between 131% and 135% compared to the headline loss of
34 cents per share in the Carve-out Historical Financials.
Shareholders are further advised that in respect of the year ended
30 September 2014 the Company is expecting to announce basic loss
per share of between 1 cents and 6 cents, being an increase of
between 94% and 99% compared to the basic loss of 96 cents per share
in the Pro Forma Financials and being an increase of between 95% and
99% compared to the basic loss of 123 cents per share in the Carve-
out Historical Financials.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based
has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors.
Quantum Foods’ financial results for the year ended 30 September
2014 are expected to be released on SENS on or about Monday, 24
November 2014.
