Insimbi shareholders are advised that the Group expects an improvement of in excess of 20% in both earnings per share (“EPS”) (which equates to an increase of at least 0.684 cents per share) and headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) (which equates to an increase of at least 0.682 cents per share) for the six months ending 31 August 2015 resulting in a minimum EPS of 4.10 cents per share and HEPS of 4.09 cents per share for interim the reporting period ended 31 August 2015.Further guidance on the expected ranges for EPS and HEPS for the year ending six months ending 31 August 2015 will be provided when a reasonable degree of certainty exists but the increase is a consequence of improved trading and operating conditions, despite the challenges faced by the local steel industry, which has been mitigated to a large degree by the Group’s ever expanding diversification. Insimbi expects to release its interim financial results by no later than 7 October 2015. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group’s auditors.
