COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
2015 was a historic year for Quantum Foods, being our first operating as a stand-alone listed entity. The Group
was listed on the JSE on 6 October 2014. Improved financial results were achieved, driven by a significant change
in the business model, as well as favourable trading conditions.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Group revenue decreased by 2.6% to R3.5 billion. Revenue from South African operations declined by R119.8 million
(3.5%), mostly in the broiler segment due to the change in business model at the Western Cape operations. Revenue
increased in the feeds and eggs and layer livestock segments due to improved volumes and selling prices. Revenue
from African operations increased by R27.1 million (17.8%) and contributed 5.2% to Group revenue for 2015.
Cost of sales decreased by 4.0% to R2.9 billion. Cost of sales includes the biological assets (livestock) and
agricultural produce (eggs) fair value adjustments that were realised and included in other gains and losses in
the statement of comprehensive income. These fair value adjustments for the year ended September 2015 amounted
R238.0 million (2014: R112.5 million). Gross profit, excluding these fair value adjustments, improved by
to R151.5 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of 24.3% compared to 19.4% in 2014.
Cash operating expenses decreased further in 2015, following the closure of the Durbanville abattoir in the Western
Cape. Various cost-saving initiatives, especially the remodelling of distribution, also contributed positively.
Operating profit increased by R184.9 million from a loss of R20.9 million in 2014. The 2014 operating loss included
an impairment expense of R49.5 million. Operating profit in the South African operations improved by R202.6 million
to R145.8 million at a margin of 4.4% (2014: -0.2%) with improvements in all three business segments. Operating
profit in Africa declined by R9.8 million to R25.3 million at a margin of 14.1%.
Headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) improved to 54 cents from the 11 cents per share of 2014.
Cash generated from operations amounted to R163.8 million in 2015. This includes an additional investment in working
capital of R53.6 million. Capital expenditure for the year amounted to R81.2 million, R31.9 million of which was
incurred on the table egg expansion projects in Zambia and Uganda. South African capital expenditure includes
R17.5 million for the acquisition of Safe Eggs, a pasteurised table egg business, during the year.
The Group had no interest-bearing debt at 30 September 2015.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
For companies in the poultry sector, trading conditions in South Africa improved in the period under review. Maize
and soya meal costs were lower than in 2014, despite substantial increases in the second half of the year, following
the much lower than expected South African maize crop and the further weakening of the rand.
Egg prices improved due to a balanced supply and demand in the market, and broiler prices increased despite the
continued increase in imports.
Animal feeds
The animal feeds business continued its growth of recent years. External sales volumes increased by 7.7% and margins
improved due to judicious procurement practices and the continuous drive to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
Eggs and layer livestock
The eggs and layer livestock business performance improved from a loss in 2014 to achieving an operating margin of
3.5% in 2015. Layer livestock volumes increased satisfactorily, while egg volumes were slightly lower, with average
selling prices improving by 4.7%.
Broilers
The broiler business showed a marked improvement in financial performance. The change in the business model in the
Western Cape was successfully executed and yielded a return to profitability. The Gauteng business improved, but
remained loss-making. The Gauteng abattoir was sold to Sovereign Foods in October 2015, resulting in an aligned
broiler business model. Quantum Foods is now the biggest broiler contract grower in South Africa, supplying its own
feed and day-old chicks.
African operations
The rapid weakening of the kwacha against the rand, as well as the US dollar, combined with the effect on
profitability of an oversupply of day-old broilers, had a negative impact on the financial results of the Zambian
business. The operation of a distribution centre in Zambia was terminated during the year to focus on core operations,
while egg production capacity was increased with the rental of a farm in the Chipata region. The Zambian business
remained very profitable. The project to increase egg production capacity at the Mega Eggs farm in the Copperbelt has
progressed according to plan with egg production expected to commence in July 2016.
The Ugandan business also experienced a decline in financial results, mainly due to an increased cost base required
for expansion. The establishment of a commercial layer farm near Masindi is slightly behind schedule, and the Group
expects egg production to start in the second half of 2016.
PROSPECTS
The South African economy remains under pressure due to a weakening currency and muted consumer spending. While
trading conditions were favourable for Quantum Foods during the 2015 financial year, we expect high input costs
coupled with a weak economy to put pressure on the Group’s profitability in 2016.
Due to the repositioning of the Group, some of these risks have now been mitigated. This, together with various
supply chain and cost-saving initiatives, the continued relentless focus on efficiencies and further growth prospects
in the feeds, layer livestock and businesses on the African continent, should assist the Group in navigating the
anticipated headwinds successfully.
DIVIDEND
A maiden gross dividend of 10 cents per share has been approved and declared by the Board for the year ended
30 September 2015 from income reserves. The applicable dates are as follows:
Last date of trading cum dividend Friday, 5 February 2016

Record date Friday, 12 February 2016

Litigation
Dispute with egg contract producers
As previously reported, six contract egg producers proceeded with claims in the Western Cape High Court:
Cape Town. The claim from one of the six contract producers is still unresolved.
Pioneer Foods is defending contractual claims from its privatised egg contract producers and the matters
were set down for arbitration during 2012. Since the hearings commenced in 2012, settlements were negotiated
with four egg contract producers. A further contract producer withdrew its claim. These settlements had no
adverse financial impact on Pioneer Foods.
Pioneer Foods filed a plea in respect of the remaining claim as well as a counterclaim to recover damages
suffered by Pioneer Foods as a result of breach of contract by the contract producer. Pioneer Foods is
awaiting the setting of a trial date in this matter.
Although the claims were brought against Pioneer Foods, the Group indemnified Pioneer Foods against any
damages that may be suffered as a result of same in terms of the internal restructuring agreements when
it acquired the egg business.
Management is of the view, based on legal advice regarding the merits of the claim against the Group, that
the Group will not incur any material liability in this respect.
Termination of contract
The Group received a summons in respect of early termination of a distribution contract. The matter will
be defended in the High Court.
Management is of the view, based on legal advice regarding the merits of the claim against the Group,
that the Group will not incur any material liability in this respect.
7. Future capital commitments
Capital expenditure approved by the Board and contracted for amount to R49.0 million (30 September 2014:
R40.5 million). Capital expenditure approved by the Board, but not contracted for, amount to R113.0 million
(30 September 2014: R73.8 million). This amount includes the approved acquisition of the Olifantskop feed
mill, as well as the possible acquisition of a business in another African country.
8. Fair value measurement
All financial instruments measured at fair value are classified using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy
that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining the measurement. The hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1:
Fair value measurements derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2:
Fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3:
Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that
are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at
30 September 2015:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

There were no transfers between any levels during the year, nor were there any significant changes to
the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair values.

10. Assets held for sale
The Group's shareholders were advised on SENS on 11 May 2015 of an agreement entered into with
Sovereign Food Investments Ltd, in terms of which the Group will dispose of the Tydstroom Abattoir
business in Hartbeespoort, as a going concern. The Tydstroom Abattoir business in Hartbeespoort,
relates to the slaughtering and processing of broilers for human consumption.
Accordingly, the Tydstroom Abattoir business in Hartbeespoort has been treated as an "asset held for
sale" in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for the year
ended 30 September 2015.
The disposal will result in the Group exiting the broiler meat market served from the Hartbeespoort
abattoir in Gauteng. It will furthermore result in an aligned broiler business model for the Group in
both the Western Cape and Gauteng, with the Group being a contract producer of live broilers and
not participating directly in the broiler meat market.
The Group's shareholders were advised on SENS on 7 October 2015 that all of the conditions
precedent to the sale have been fulfilled and accordingly the sale is unconditional, with an effective
date of 19 October 2015.

11. Events after the reporting period
Dividend
A final dividend of 10 cents per ordinary share has been declared for the year, on 23 November 2015.
This will only be reflected in the statement of changes in equity in the next reporting period.
Additional information disclosed:
These dividends are declared from income reserves and qualify as a dividend as defined in the Income
Tax Act, Act 58 of 1962.
Dividends will be paid net of dividends tax of 15%, to be withheld and paid to the South African Revenue
Service by the Company. Such tax must be withheld unless beneficial owners of the dividend have provided
the necessary documentary proof to the relevant regulated intermediary that they are exempt therefrom,
or entitled to a reduced rate as result of the double taxation agreement between South Africa and the
country of domicile of such owner.
The net dividend amounts to 8.5 cents per ordinary share for shareholders liable to pay dividends tax.
The dividend amounts to 10.0 cents per ordinary share for shareholders exempt from paying dividends tax.
The number of issued ordinary shares is 233 248 590 as at the date of this declaration.
There have been no other events that may have a material effect on the Group that occurred after the end
of the reporting period and up to the date of approval of the summary consolidated financial statements
by the Board.
