Audited results
for the year ended 29 February 2016

Rudolf Fourie, CEO of Raubex Group, said:
"The Group has delivered another solid set of results in a competitive construction sector and a
year during which the road construction industry was again impacted by a shortage in the supply
of bitumen. 

A disciplined approach to securing a quality order book has resulted in a marked
improvement in the performance of the Road Construction division. 

The Materials division continued to see a healthy demand for its products and services in both 
its commercial quarrying operations and its mining and material handling operations with this 
division contributing over half of the Group's operating profit.

We are very pleased with these results and our ability to produce consistently good results
year-on-year with strong cash flows to support healthy dividends for shareholders."

Commentary
Financial overview
Revenue increased 9,4% to R7,93 billion and operating profit increased by 14,2% to
R710,6 million from the corresponding prior year. These results were supported by an
improvement in the performance of the Road Construction division and favourable operating
conditions in the Materials division which contributed 56,3% of total operating profit. 
The Infrastructure division results were stable, supported by solar energy projects gaining 
momentum in the second half of the year.

Profit before tax increased 9,1% to R661,6 million (2015: R606,6 million) with the effective tax
rate stable at 29,1% compared to 29,4% in the prior year.

Earnings per share increased 11,0% to 236,9 cents with headline earnings per share increasing
12,1% to 234,4 cents. 

Group operating profit margin increased to 9,0% (2015: 8,6%).

Cash generated from operations increased 33,8% to R1,05 billion (2015: R785,1 million) before
finance charges and taxation.

Net finance costs increased to R49,2 million (2015: R15,7 million) due mainly to an increase in
interest-bearing borrowings. Total non-cash finance costs amounted to R6,6 million for the year.

Trade and other receivables increased by 11,2% to R1,54 billion (2015: R1,38 billion). Payment
delays from the Road Development Agency in Zambia continued to be experienced with an
amount of R115,5 million outstanding at year-end included in accounts receivable.

Inventories increased by 6,6% to R564,1 million (2015: R529,0 million). The increase was mainly
due to the Group's property development projects through its subsidiaries Raudev and Raubex
Building with a value of R110,3 million included under inventories. 

Borrowings remained flat at R1,09 billion (2015: R1,10 billion).

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment increased 7,6% to R549,5 million 
(2015: R510,6 million). The effect of the weaker rand on imported plant and equipment contributed 
towards the increase.

The Group's net cash inflow for the year was R29,0 million after a net cash outflow of R47,0 million 
on acquisition of subsidiaries and treasury shares acquired to the value of R46,6 million. 
Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year increased 3,5% to R969,7 million 
(2015: R937,3 million).

Operational overview
Materials division
The Materials division, which includes the Raumix operations, comprises three main disciplines 
including commercial quarries, contract crushing and materials handling and processing for the 
mining industry.

The division delivered another strong performance for the year and continued to experience 
favourable operating conditions. The commercial quarries were supported by a healthy demand for 
aggregates and the acquisition of Belabela Quarries in Botswana. Despite weaker commodity prices, 
conditions continued to favour the material handling and processing operations, which are mainly 
focused on the diamond, gold and copper mining sectors. Contract crushing operations have been 
stable and are operating in competitive conditions that are in line with the South African 
construction sector. 

Revenue for the division increased 18,9% to R2,33 billion (2015: R1,96 billion) 
and operating profit increased by 23,5% to R399,8 million (2015: R323,6 million). 

The divisional operating profit margins increased to 17,1% (2015: 16,5%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R323,2 million during the year (2015:
R358,3 million).

The division has a secured order book of R1,76 billion (2015: R1,86 billion).

Construction division
Road surfacing and rehabilitation
This segment specialises in the manufacturing and laying of asphalt, chip and spray, surface 
dressing, enrichments and slurry seals and includes the operations of Tosas, a company 
specialising in the manufacture and distribution of value added bituminous products. In the 
prior year, Tosas was reported as a segment on its own and their results have now been 
incorporated in the Road surfacing and rehabilitation segment. The comparative figures for 
the prior year have been restated.

This segment has a healthy order book and prospects for securing more work at both a National and
Provincial Government level are encouraging. Revenue growth slowed during the year due to
lower bitumen prices which are correlated to the international crude oil price and also a severe
bitumen supply shortage in South Africa due to unplanned refinery shut downs in the first half of
the year. The bitumen supply shortage was resolved in the second half of the year and
management continuously monitors supply side dynamics in order to execute timely contingency
plans. 

Revenue for the division increased 3,1% to R3,05 billion (2015: R2,96 billion) with
operating profit decreasing by 15,2% to R172,7 million (2015: R203,7 million).

The divisional operating profit margin decreased to 5,7% (2015: 6,9%). 

The division incurred capital expenditure of R128,4 million during the year (2015: R70,0 million), 
with R57,3 million relating to expansion and modernisation of the Tosas operations and plant. 

The division has a secured order book of R3,09 billion (2015: R2,60 billion).

Road construction and earthworks
This segment includes the road and civil infrastructure construction operations focused on the 
key areas of new road construction and heavy road rehabilitation.

This segment has been working through a better quality order book during the year as a result 
of selective tendering and order book discipline. Teams have focused on daily production monitoring 
and the efficient execution of contracts. Execution on the Zambia Link 8000 work has been hindered 
by a delay in payment from the Zambian Road Development Agency. 

Revenue for the division decreased 4,3% to R1,40 billion (2015: R1,46 billion) with operating 
profit increasing 86,7% to R103,0 million (2015: R55,2 million).

The divisional operating profit margins increased to 7,4% (2015: 3,8%). 

The division incurred capital expenditure of R48,1 million during the year (2015: R44,6 million).

The division has a secured order book of R2,29 billion (2015: R3,20 billion) with R890 million 
relating to the Link 8000 contracts in Zambia.

Raubex Infrastructure
The Infrastructure segment specialises in disciplines outside of the road construction sector, 
including energy (with a specific focus on renewable energy), rail, telecommunications, pipeline 
construction and housing infrastructure projects.

Stable results were reported by this segment. The first half of the year saw the completion of works 
on some challenging mining infrastructure contracts and a delay in award of renewable energy work. 
The execution of solar energy work gained momentum in the second half of the year. Progress has been 
made in securing a pipeline of work opportunities in the affordable residential housing market. 

Revenue for the division increased 32,7% to R1,14 billion (2015: R862,7 million) and operating profit 
decreased 11,6% to R35,1 million (2015: R39,6 million).

The divisional operating profit margins decreased to 3,1% (2015: 4,6%).

The division incurred capital expenditure of R49,9 million (2015: R37,7 million).

The division has a secured order book of R1,12 billion (2015: R1,01 billion).

International
The Group's international operations ("the rest of Africa") have expanded and good results were 
reported from both the Materials and Construction divisions. Operations are focused mainly in 
Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia.

In Zambia, good progress was made during the year on the Link 8000 road contracts and the
Zambian Kwacha strengthened significantly in the second half of the year from its lows in
September 2015. The foreign exchange risk on these contracts has been reduced through an
escalation recovery formula linked to the Zambian CPI index which was agreed with the client.

In Botswana, the acquisition of Belabela Quarries was bedded down well and provided the Group
with a base from which to expand and further develop its operating model in the country.

International revenue increased 87,8% to R1,20 billion (2015: R639,0 million) and operating profit
increased by 161,6% to R218,3 million (2015: R83,4 million).

Operating profit margins increased to 18,2% (2015: 13,1%).

The international order book stands at R2,13 billion (2015: R2,20 billion), and is included in 
the Materials and Construction division's order book. 

Prospects 
The Group has a secured order  book of R8,27 billion (2015: R8,68 billion) with 25,8% of the order 
book representing contracts outside of South Africa in the rest of Africa. The Zambia Link 8000
contracts account for R890 million of the order book.

The Group's road construction operations have secured a good quality short-term order book and are 
executing effectively with no problem contracts. The focus will now be on order book replacement to 
secure the medium term. With SANRAL receiving above inflationary increases in its maintenance budget 
and an increasing order book of provincial government work, prospects are encouraging. 

Favourable operating conditions are expected to continue for the commercial quarry operations and 
the Group will continue to look for acquisitions in the materials sector to expand its geographical 
footprint. Post year-end, the Competition Tribunal approved the acquisition of the OMV Kimberley 
quarry with conditions.

The material handling and processing operations are expected to remain stable given current
commodity price levels. A stable labour force and demand for commodities are key to the
prospects of these operations. Should the outlook for specific commodities change, there is
client and commodity diversification within the operations to mitigate risk.

Projects in the renewable energy sector are gaining momentum and the Infrastructure division is 
well placed to benefit from the continued roll out of Eskom's Renewable Energy Independent Power 
Producer Procurement Programme ("REIPPP").

Supported by encouraging prospects, a strong balance sheet and healthy cash position, the Group 
is looking forward to another good year ahead as it enters its tenth year of operations since 
listing on the JSE in March 2007.

Reclassification of comparative figures
In the prior year consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2015 the results
of Tosas were disclosed as a separate segment in the segmental analysis. This was done in order
to report the results of Tosas separately until such time as the acquired business was bedded
down within the Group and returned to profitability. In order to more fairly present the segments
and in line with the disclosure of information reported to the chief operating decision maker in
terms of IFRS, the results of Tosas have been disclosed as part of the Road surfacing and
rehabilitation segment. This has resulted in the restatement of the prior year figures.

                                                                                           Road

Events after the reporting period
Business combinations
OMV Kimberley (Pty) Ltd and OMV Kimberley Mining (Pty) Ltd ("OMV Kimberley") 
The small merger of Raumix Aggregates (Pty) Ltd and OMV Kimberley, originally prohibited by the
Competition Commission, was subsequently approved by the Competition Tribunal subject to
certain conditions on 9 March 2016. On receipt of the Competition Tribunal's order on 
9 March 2016, the Group acquired 100% of OMV Kimberley for R37,5 million cash. OMV Kimberley is a
commercial quarry operating in the Northern Cape province supplying aggregates to the
construction industry. 

The conditions imposed relate to controls relating to the pricing of aggregated crushed road stone 
and the non-discrimination of competitors in the road contracting sector. A further enterprise 
development condition was agreed which prohibits the Group from tendering for a resealing contract 
in the Kimberley area other than through a HDI joint venture in which historically disadvantaged 
persons hold in aggregate no less than sixty percent of the shares or other similar interest of 
the HDI joint venture.

Contingent liabilities
On 29 April 2011, shareholders were advised that the Group had become aware of certain
irregularities in terms of the provisions of the Competition Act, No 89 of 1998. The Group filed a
Fast Track application to the Competition Commission in accordance with the Commission's
Invitation to Firms in the Construction Industry to Engage in Settlement of Contraventions of the
Act by the required deadline date of 15 April 2011. 

Raubex signed a consent agreement with the Commission on 21 June 2013 in which the Company admitted 
that it had engaged in collusive conduct during 2006 and 2007 in respect of eight road construction 
contracts tendered on for the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited ("SANRAL"). 
Raubex paid an administrative penalty of R58,8 million on 20 August 2013.

On 19 April 2016, the Group received a summons to inform that SANRAL had instituted legal action 
against Raubex to claim relief for damages suffered as a consequence of certain of the
contraventions referred to above. No provision for damages has been made in these annual
financial statements.

No further material events after the reporting period occurred up to the date
of preparation of these Group financial statements.
