FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2015
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, companies are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they are reasonably certain 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.
Further to the announcement released on SENS on 6 February 2015, Adcorp shareholders are advised
that for the year ended 28 February 2015 earnings per share (“EPS”) are expected to increase by 33%
to 35% and headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) are expected to increase by 57% to 59%, compared
to the corresponding period. EPS and HEPS are therefore expected to be between 235 cents and 239
cents per share and between 296 cents and 300 cents per share, respectively, compared to EPS of
176.9 cents and HEPS of 188.6 cents in the corresponding period.
The increase in earnings and headline earnings is due to the first full period inclusion of the
contribution from Labour Solutions Australia Proprietary Limited (LSA), which was acquired with
effect 3 December 2013, as well as the non-repetition of the International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) accounting whereby R87 million was charged to the prior period profit and loss in
respect of the IFRS 2 share based payment expense relating to the 2013 Broad Based Black Economic
Empowerment transaction that was finalised, implemented and reported on with effect 27 August
2013.
On a normalised trading position, where non-cash flow IFRS adjustments are eliminated, normalised
earnings per share for the year ended 28 February 2015 are expected to be between 13% and 15%
higher than those for the corresponding period. As a result, normalised earnings per share are
expected to be between 434 cents and 442 cents, compared to 384.3 cents in the corresponding
period.
The financial results on which this trading statement has been based have not been reviewed or
reported on by the company`s auditors. The financial results of the company will be published on or
about 26 May 2015.
