Mpact Limited 
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

TRADING STATEMENT 
 
Mpact is currently finalising its interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2015, 
which are expected to be released on the Stock Exchange News Service on or about 12 August 2015. 
In this regard, shareholders are advised that earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earnings per 
shares (“HEPS”) are likely to exceed the prior year comparable period by more than 20%. 
 
Mpact expects EPS, HEPS and underlying EPS for the six months ended 30 June 2015 to be within the 
ranges shown below: 
 
 
  EPS (cents)           131 to 139 cents per share, or a 43% to 51% increase  (June 2014: 91.8) 

  HEPS (cents)          131 to 139 cents per share, or a 43% to 52% increase  (June 2014: 91.5)  

  Underlying EPS  

  (cents)               131 to 139 cents per share, or a 43% to 51% increase  (June 2014: 91.8) 

 
The expected increase in EPS is due to an improved trading performance and a lower effective tax 
rate compared to the prior year comparable period.  Group revenue for the six months ended 30 
June 2015 increased by 10.8% when compared to the same period last year, while the recognition of 
deferred tax on previously unrecognised tax losses resulted in a lower effective tax rate. 
 
Shareholders are advised that the financial information on which this trading statement is based has 
not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
