Commentary
Review of operations
Trading during the first half of the financial year reflected continued pressure on the consumer due to the
macro-economic environment and weak sentiment. Year-on-year growth was, however, achieved in both casino and hotel revenues 
and the trading results were positively impacted by various expansionary projects, including the acquisition of hotel
businesses from Liberty Group Limited (“Liberty”) by The Cullinan Hotel Proprietary Limited (“Cullinan”) in the prior period,
the expansion of Silverstar and the closure for refurbishment of Southern Sun Maputo and Garden Court De Waal during the prior 
period, offset by the closure of the Riverside Sun and Sabi River Sun hotels for refurbishment during the current period.

Tsogo Sun has continued to allocate capital in terms of its growth strategy and accordingly has spent R1.0 billion
during the period as follows:
- continued the R640 million refurbishment and expansion of Gold Reef City Casino and Theme Park which will include
  an increased casino offering, cinemas and additional restaurants at the casino and additional food and beverage outlets
  and improved access systems at the Theme Park, with an improved linkage to the casino complex and an expansion of the
  Apartheid Museum. Phase one of the project, which excludes the Theme Park, was substantially completed in November 2015; 
- continued with the planning for the expansion of the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World with construction
  anticipated to commence in mid-2016 with three years to completion. Following an assessment of the Durban retail market, the
  investment in the expansion has increased to R3.5 billion and will include a 49 500m2 destination retail mall,
  additional restaurants and entertainment offerings, a 2 000-seat multi-purpose venue, additional parking, an expansion of the
  casino floor to incorporate an additional 900 gaming machines and 16 gaming tables and an amount of R100 million made
  available to be spent on charitable or social infrastructural developments in the KwaZulu-Natal province;
- acquired 55% of the Hospitality Property Fund Limited (“HPF”) B-linked units for R252 million in August 2015; and
- invested R520 million on maintenance capex group-wide, including gaming system replacements and major hotel
  refurbishments, ensuring our assets remain best in class.

Total income for the six months of R5.9 billion ended 7% above the prior period with a 4% growth in gaming win
assisted by a 15% growth in both hotel rooms revenue and food and beverage revenue. Earnings before interest, income tax,
depreciation, amortisation, property rentals, long-term incentives and exceptional items (“Ebitdar”) of R2.1 billion ended 
6% above the prior period for the six months. The overall group Ebitdar margin of 35.3% is 0.6 percentage points (“pp”)
down on the prior period. The underlying operations of the group remain highly geared towards the South African consumer
(in gaming) and the corporate market (in hotels) with both sectors still experiencing difficult economic conditions and
increased administered costs (property rates and electricity). The high level of operational gearing still presents the
significant growth potential of the group should these sectors of the South African economy improve. 

Gaming win for the six months grew by 4% on the prior period with growth in both slots win and tables win at 4%.
Gaming win on both slots and tables was impacted by lower win percentages with growth in slots handle at 8% and growth in
tables drop at 9% on the prior period.

Gauteng recorded growth in provincial gaming win of 0.7% for the six months. Gaming win growth of 1.2% was achieved at
Montecasino, 7.4% at Silverstar and 0.2% at Gold Reef City. Montecasino and Silverstar experienced reduced win percentages 
during the period and Gold Reef City was impacted by the refurbishment and expansion work which was completed in October 2015. 

KwaZulu-Natal provincial gaming win grew by 9.1% for the six months. Gaming win growth of 9.7% was achieved at
Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World, 12.3% at Blackrock Casino in Newcastle and 7.8% at Golden Horse Casino in
Pietermaritzburg.

Mpumalanga reported a reduction in provincial gaming win of 5.0% for the six months. Gaming win growth of 0.7% was
achieved at Emnotweni Casino in Nelspruit with a reduction of 8.7% experienced at The Ridge Casino in Emalahleni impacted
by significant economic disruptions to the steel industry in that area. Emnotweni and The Ridge experienced reduced
tables drop and reduced win percentages during the period.

The Eastern Cape provincial gaming win grew by 1.4% for the six months. Hemingways gaming win reduced by 1.9% on the
prior period, impacted by the poor economic conditions in the East London area.

The Western Cape reported a growth in provincial gaming win of 3.3% for the six months. The Caledon Casino, Hotel and
Spa, Garden Route Casino in Mossel Bay and Mykonos Casino in Langebaan reported growth of 13.0%, 18.4% and 6.9%
respectively, reflecting a strong performance of the leisure markets in these areas.

Goldfields Casino in Welkom in the Free State experienced difficult conditions with a reduction in gaming win of 0.3% on
the prior period.

Other Gaming division operations consisting of the Sandton Convention Centre and head office costs reflected a net
cost of R111 million, an increase of 6% on the prior period. The StayEasy Century City hotel, previously included in other
gaming operations, was transferred to the South African Hotels division during the 2015 financial year and the
comparatives in the segment analysis have been restated accordingly.

Overall revenue for the Gaming division increased 6% on the prior period to R4.3 billion. Ebitdar increased 2% on the
prior period at R1.6 billion at a margin of 37.5%, 1.3pp below the prior period due to the slow growth in gaming win,
increased administered costs (property rates and electricity) and the opening of additional lower margin businesses.

The hotel industry in South Africa continues to experience a subdued recovery from the dual impact of depressed demand
and oversupply. Overall industry occupancies have improved marginally to 61.0% (2014: 60.1%) for the period, but were
adversely impacted by the visa regulations which constrained growth. As a result of the strong sales and distribution
channels, superior product and service quality available within the group, Tsogo Sun Hotels continues to achieve an
occupancy and rate premium in the segments in which the group operates.

Trading for the group’s South African hotels for the six months recorded a system-wide revenue per available room
(“RevPar”) growth of 6% on the prior period due mainly to an increase in average room rates by 5% to R949, with occupancies
above the prior period at 62.4% (2014: 61.8%). 

Overall revenue for the South African hotels division increased 7% on the prior period to R1.2 billion assisted by the
inclusion of the additional Cullinan hotels for an additional month and the closure of Garden Court De Waal for
refurbishment during the prior period, offset by the closure of the Riverside Sun and Sabi River Sun for refurbishment during
the current period. Ebitdar increased by 5% on the prior period to R349 million at a margin of 28.4% (2014: 29.1%).

The Offshore division of hotels achieved total revenue of R337 million, representing a 34% increase on the prior
period due to a recovery from the impact of the Ebola epidemic on trading and the closure of Southern Sun Maputo for
refurbishment during the prior period. This was assisted by the weakening of the Rand against both the US Dollar and the Euro.
Ebitdar (pre-foreign exchange losses/gains) increased by 92% to R98 million. Foreign exchange losses of R6 million 
(2014:R3 million loss) were incurred on the translation of offshore monetary items.

Combined South African and offshore hotel trading statistics, reflecting the Tsogo Sun group-owned hotels and
excluding hotels managed on behalf of third parties, are as follows: 


for the period ended 30 September  2015   2014  
Occupancy (%)                      61.4   60.6  
Average room rate (R)               985    899   
RevPar (R)                          605    545   
Rooms available (’000)            2 132  2 065 
Rooms sold (’000)                 1 309  1 252 
Rooms revenue (Rm)                1 290  1 126 


Operating expenses including gaming levies and VAT and employee costs, but excluding exceptional items and long-term
incentives, increased by 7% on the prior period mainly due to non-organic growth in the business as a result of
acquisitions and expansions, increased marketing, promotional and administered costs (property rates and electricity) and
increased offshore overheads as a result of the weakening of the Rand against both the US Dollar and the Euro, offset by
savings initiatives.

Property rentals at R106 million are flat on the prior period mainly due to the acquisition of Garden Court Polokwane,
offset by contractual increases and the weakening of the Rand against the US Dollar.

Amortisation and depreciation at R409 million is 23% up on the prior period due mainly to the capital spend during the
current and the prior period and the acquisition of the hotels in Cullinan from Liberty.

The long-term incentive credit on the cash-settled incentive scheme at R41 million is R46 million below the prior
period charge and reflects the effect of the decreased long-term incentive liability (including dividend adjustments) at 30
September 2015 as a result of a lower closing share price compared to an increase in the prior period.

Exceptional losses for the six months of R19 million relate mainly to the pre-opening costs of R12 million during the
period the hotels were closed for refurbishment, property, plant and equipment and loan impairments and transaction
costs net of the profit on disposal of an investment property. Exceptional losses for the prior period of R159 million
relate mainly to the IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment charge on the executive facility amounting to R118 million, pre-opening costs
of R18 million during the period the hotels were closed for refurbishment, property, plant and equipment and loan
impairments, transaction costs and retrenchments costs on early retirements.

Net finance costs of R424 million are 58% above the prior period due to the increase in debt and reduction in cash to
fund the growth strategy and the share buy-back in the prior period, in addition to an adjustment to the Cullinan put
option of R1 million.

The share of profit of associates and joint ventures of R7 million improved by R3 million on the prior period mainly
due to earnings from the Redefine BDL acquisition.

The effective tax rate for the six months of 28.4% (2014: 31.8%) is impacted by non-deductible expenditure such as
casino building depreciation and non-deductible foreign exchange losses, offset by offshore tax rate differentials. The
effective tax rate for the six months in the prior period was also impacted by the IFRS share-based payment charge.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests of R5 million is R19 million below the prior period mainly due to the
acquisition of 15% of Garden Route Casino and 49% of One Monte, reduced local currency profits at Southern Sun Ikoyi
and Southern Sun Maputo due to foreign exchange losses, and reduced attributable profits in Cullinan due to an adjustment
in the interest rate on shareholders loans.

Group adjusted headline earnings for the six months at R842 million are 3% below the prior period. The adjustments
include the reversal of the post-tax impacts of the exceptional losses noted above in addition to the reversal of the
remeasurement of the Cullinan put option in net finance costs. The number of shares in issue decreased due to the buy-back of
133.6 million ordinary shares on 28 August 2014 and the resultant adjusted headline earnings per share is 9% above the
prior period at 88.0 cents per share. The after-tax effect of the long-term incentive credit contributed 3% to the
growth in adjusted headline earnings per share.

Net cash generated from operations for the period increased 28% on the prior period to R704 million. Cash flows
utilised for investment activities of R1.0 billion consisted mainly of maintenance capital expenditure and the acquisitions
and investments described above.

Interest-bearing debt net of cash at 30 September 2015 totaled R9.6 billion, which is R409 million above the 31 March
2015 balance of R9.2 billion, with R579 million paid in dividends to group shareholders in addition to the investment
activities during the period. 

PROSPECTS
Trading is expected to remain under pressure due to the ongoing macro-economic conditions and weak consumer sentiment.
Nevertheless, the group remains highly cash generative and is confident of achieving attractive returns from the growth
strategy once the macro-economic environment improves.

The acquisition of an effective 40% stake in the SunWest and Worcester casinos was cancelled by mutual agreement of
all parties as the revised implementation date of 31 August 2015 could not be achieved and the parties concluded that it
was not possible to extend the date again as the commercial metrics agreed had changed due to the effluxion of time.

The group continues to implement a variety of projects and acquisitions including:
- the Mpumalanga Gaming Board withdrew the second request for proposal for the fourth licence. The group is pursuing
  a legal challenge in this regard;
- the potential to bid for the relocation of one of the smaller casinos in the Western Cape to the Cape Metropole
  remains an opportunity for the group should the provincial authorities allow such a process; 
- as announced on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited on 18 November 2015, an in principle agreement has
  been reached with HPF to acquire a controlling stake through the injection of appropriate hotel assets having a value
  such that the issue of shares to the group at the time will result in the group owning not less than 50% of the shares
  following the reconstitution of HPF’s capital into a single class of shares. Further announcements will be made on
  finalisation of the deal terms; and
- the acquisition during October 2015 of a 12.5% interest, along with the major shareholders of Redefine BDL, in
  International Hotel Group Limited (“IHG”) for R80 million. The property fund, which has a dual listing in Luxembourg and on
  the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, will pursue hotel opportunities in the United Kingdom and Europe and the hotels will be
  managed by Redefine BDL. The acquisition of additional hotel properties by IHG is anticipated in the future and the
  group may apply additional capital in this regard. 

The ability to continue to pursue these and other opportunities in line with the group’s growth strategy will depend
on the final outcome and impact of the variety of potential regulatory changes considered by government and will require
the successful interaction with various regulatory bodies including gaming boards, city councils, provincial authorities
and national departments. The group continues to constructively engage with the various spheres of government in this
regard.

DIVIDEND
The board of directors has declared an interim gross cash dividend from income reserves of 31.0 (thirty-one) cents per
share for the six months ended 30 September 2015. The dividend has been declared in South African currency and is
payable to shareholders recorded in the register of the company at close of business Friday, 11 December 2015. The number 
of  ordinary shares in issue at the date of this declaration is 957 388 870 (excluding treasury shares). The dividend will
be subject to a local dividend tax rate of 15%, which will result in a net dividend of 26.35 cents per share to those
shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax. The company’s tax reference number is 9250039717.

In compliance with the requirements of Strate, the electronic and custody system used by the JSE, the following dates

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION    
  The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended  
  30 September 2015 have been prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the recognition and measurement 
  criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
  Board (“IASB”), the preparation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial 
  Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by 
  Financial Reporting Standards Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the requirements of the Companies 
  Act of South Africa. The accounting policies are consistent with IFRS as well as those applied in the most recent audited 
  annual financial statements as at 31 March 2015 other than as described below. The condensed consolidated interim financial 
  statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015, which 
  have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. This interim report has not been audited or reviewed by the company’s 
  auditors.
  
2 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
  The group has adopted all the new, revised or amended accounting standards as issued by the IASB which were effective 
  for the group from 1 April 2015, none of which had a material impact on the group. 
  
3 SEGMENT INFORMATION     
  In terms of IFRS 8 Operating Segments the chief operating decision maker has been identified as the group’s Chief 
  Executive Officer and the Group Executive Committee. Management has determined the operating segments based on the 
  reports reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. There has been no change in the basis of segmentation or in 
  the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from the last annual financial statements. 
  The group’s CEO and GEC assess the performance of the operating segments based on Ebitdar. The measure excludes the 
  effects of long-term incentives and the effects of non-recurring expenditure. The measure also excludes all headline 
  adjustments, impairments and fair value adjustments on non-current assets and liabilities. Interest income and finance 
  costs are not included in the result for each operating segment as this is driven by the group treasury function which 
  manages the cash and debt position of the group. 
  
4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   
  The group fair values its interest rate swaps as shown below. The fair values of all other financial assets and financial 
  liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. 
  - Interest rate swaps    
  The group has interest rate swaps, being level 2 fair value measurements. The fair value of the interest rate swap asset 
  of R4 million (2015: R90 million liability) is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based 
  on observable yield curves. 
  - Put option            
  During the prior year the group entered into a call option over Liberty Group Limited’s (“Liberty”) 40% shareholding in 
  The Cullinan Hotel Proprietary Limited and Liberty has a corresponding put option, both exercisable at the fair value 
  of the shares. A financial liability for the put option and a corresponding debit to transactions with non-controlling 
  interest was recognised on initial recognition. At the end of each reporting period the liability is remeasured and the 
  increase or decrease recognised in the income statement. The non-current liability, included in derivative financial 
  instruments, has been remeasured to R487 million at 30 September 2015 with the increase of R1.2 million recognised in 
  finance costs.  
  A discounted cash flow valuation was used to estimate the liability. 
  
5 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS     
  The board has committed a total of R5.5 billion for maintenance and expansion capital items at its gaming and hotel 
  properties. R433 million of the committed capital expenditure has been contracted for.
