(Registration number: 2005/003306/06)
Share code: SEP
ISIN: ZAE000138459
("SepHold" or “the Company”)
TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
In terms of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a
trading statement as soon as they are satisfied, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that the
financial results for the period to be reported upon next will differ by at least 20% from those of the
previous corresponding reporting period. SepHold is in the process of finalising its annual results for
the year ended 31 March 2016, which will be released on SENS on or about 29 June 2016 and
published in the press on or about 30 June 2016 (“annual results announcement”).
Accordingly, shareholders are advised that, for the year ended 31 March 2016:
• earnings per share (“EPS”) of the Company is expected to be between 29.32 and 31.76 cents per
share (2015: 24.43 cents per share), being an increase of between 20% and 30% from the EPS
reported for the year ended 31 March 2015; and
• headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) of the Company is expected to be between 29.32 and
31.76 cents per share (2015: 24.43 cents per share), being an increase of between 20% and 30%
from the HEPS reported for the year ended 31 March 2015.
To provide further guidance to shareholders, the company reported normalised HEPS for the year
ended 31 March 2015 of 10.48 cents per share.
The normalised HEPS for the prior period was defined as reportable HEPS and took into account the
following once-off items:
• a non-cash loss of R28.5 million on a contingent consideration
• a deferred tax asset entry passed by the associate, Sephaku Cement (Pty) Ltd relating to a
section 12I tax incentive, that brought about an increase in SepHold’s equity accounted
earnings of R55.4 million.
No once-off items were taken into account for the current period and the normalised HEPS for 2016 is
therefore expected to be the same as the HEPS for the period, of between 29.32 and 31.76 cents per
share, being an increase of between 180% and 203% from the normalised HEPS reported for the
year ended 31 March 2015.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported
on by the Company’s external auditors.
