RESULTS ANALYSIS

RESULTS OVERVIEW
Phumelela is the leading racecourse owner, tote betting operator and racing media provider in 
South Africa with a significant presence internationally, complemented by fixed odds betting 
on horseracing, soccer and numbers. 

The pleasing financial results are reflective of a strategic imperative in place more than a decade 
to internationalise and diversify its activities outside of the company's traditional roots. 

Diversifying and taking South African thoroughbred horseracing to the world has sustained our 
horseracing business in the face of strong cost pressures and despite the ongoing funding imbalance 
in respect of horseracing that exists between tote operators and bookmakers. 

Growth in tote betting on sports other than horseracing, fixed odds betting and a substantial 
increase in contribution from international operations, were the drivers of this year's result. 
Fixed odds and international pre-tax income combined is 76% higher at R233 million which compares 
with a pre-tax loss of R104 million from our traditional horseracing operations. 

Phumelela's 26% interest in Interbet contributed for a full twelve months compared with 
nine months in the previous financial year. The relationship with our partners is working 
very well and the investment is a perfect fit with Phumelela's horseracing and sports 
betting products.

Phumelela continues to invest in South African thoroughbred horseracing. Tote betting volumes 
are stable, a quality racing experience encourages on-course attendance, particularly for 
high-profile race meetings. Horseracing is the foundation of our business and despite an 
economic playing field that is manifestly unfair, we are resolute in playing a key role in 
ensuring South African racing remains top class. This year we invested a further R51 million 
on our betting and racing facilities. 

The Group ended the year with 75 fixed odds retail shops, up from 66 as at January 2016. 
A 51% investment in Afribet, which operates in the Eastern Cape, became unconditional with 
effect from February, adding to the Group's retail footprint. Total capital expenditure in 
Betting World amounted to R23 million in 2016. 

Under strengthened leadership, Betting World is focused on taking the bet to the people and 
enhancing the punter experience, and on nurturing franchise opportunities for previously 
disadvantaged individuals. 

Income increased across the fixed odds retail footprint and profits more than trebled. 
International operations performed well in foreign currency terms and with an even better 
performance on translation to rand, benefitting from increased volume of demand for a 
world-class South African thoroughbred horseracing export product. 

A fairer funding dispensation for the sport of thoroughbred horseracing is imperative. 
Within this context, flagrant piracy of the Group's intellectual property by certain bookmakers 
is unconscionable. Civil and criminal lawsuits have been filed and will continue to be filed 
against bookmakers unlawfully displaying Tellytrack. As of the date of this report, 274 bookmakers 
have subscribed to Tellytrack for live horseracing televisual and audio rights whilst 255 bookmakers 
have subscribed to the live international horseracing televisual and audio rights.

GROUP FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Total income increased by 19% to R1 500,8 million with local income growing by 15% to R1 226,4 million 
and international income growing by 38% to R274,4 million.

Local net betting income grew by 15% to R965,6 million and other local income grew by 10% to 
R252,6 million. Other operating income from international operations grew by 33% to R273,8 million. 
Net income, after investment income of R5,3 million, was 17% higher at R1 497,3 million. 

Local expenses, stakes and levies increased by 19% to R1 255,2 million and international expenses, 
which includes intellectual property rights fees, increased by 42% to R199,1 million. 

Reward for exceptional performance plays a vital part in ensuring the Group continues to achieve 
its targets and our human capital is pivotal in this regard. Salaries are competitive but supplemented 
by appropriate monetary recognition as circumstances warrant. In this regard, local expenses also 
capture incentive awards and share-based payment charges.

Expenses on a like-for-like basis increased in line with budget and fixed odds costs reflect investment 
in expansion. The 23% increase in the Group depreciation charge reflects the investment commitment 
Phumelela is making in keeping its estate up-to-date and appealing to customers. 

Local operations recorded a loss of R41,6 million compared to a profit of R7,6 million. The combination 
of international pre-tax profits of R75,3 million and international and local equity accounted profits 
of R94,7 million resulted in total Group pre-tax profit of R128,4 million, an increase of 7% before 
non-cash impairments and fair value adjustments. 

Net attributable income increased by 53% to R121,9 million, assisted by a positive fair value 
adjustment and a slightly lower effective tax rate. Headline earnings adjustments were minimal 
with the prior year including a R9 million impairment of the Group's 26% interest in Betting World 
Nigeria. Headline earnings increased by 40% to R122,6 million. 

To fulfil obligations in respect of shares exercisable in terms of the executive option schemes, 
the company previously repurchased shares and so the weighted average number of shares in issue 
was 0,67% lower. Earnings per share therefore grew by 54% and headline earnings per share grew by 41%. 

Against the British pound, the rand averaged R21,43 for the year compared with R18,11, an 18% 
adverse move that resulted in more rand recognised on translation of foreign currency. The Group 
benefitted from a foreign exchange gain of R8,2 million. 

SOUTH AFRICAN OPERATIONS
Tote betting increased by 3% to R3,4 billion with tote betting on sports other than horseracing 
increasing by 13% to R1,1 billion and with tote betting on horseracing remaining flat at R2,3 billion. 
Tote betting on sports other than horseracing comprises 32% of the tote betting and is up from 29% 
last year. Tote betting on local racing now comprises 50% of tote betting with betting on international 
racing the balance at 18%. 

Interactive is now 30% of tote bets placed. Interactive is a key component of the Group's future 
strategy and the Group will continue to invest in the expansion of this part of its business. 

Fixed odds had an excellent year with the investment in growth over the past few years manifesting 
in accelerating profitability at improved margin. Fixed odds betting increased by 25% to R1,8 billion.
Net fixed odds betting income for the year of R263,1 million, growth of 63%, is more than three times 
what Phumelela earned as recently as five years ago. 

Fixed odds betting on horseracing has shown a very pleasing improvement, increasing by 35% since 2014. 
Other sports and in particular numbers betting, which increased by 54%, continue to grow in popularity. 

The expanded retail presence is a big factor in bringing in the punters, with strong growth in betting 
in provinces such as KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and Limpopo. 

Total operating expenses in the local tote and fixed odds operations grew by 19% to R1 255,2 million. 
This reflects the growth in retail, IFRS 2 share-based payment charges, human capital spend, and legal 
and consulting fees associated with combatting piracy of the Group's intellectual property by 
bookmakers and related legal matters. 

Prize monies (stakes) increased by 7% to R202,9 million in accordance with the formula set out in the 
stakes agreement with the Racing Association. Stakes are calculated retrospectively on prior year 
results and the increase is reflective of the 2015 financial year results as they pertain to the formula. 

A consequence of the drought is an additional R8,6 million spent on watering our racing and training 
facilities. 

Like-for-like normalised expenses in the local tote operations, excluding stakes and depreciation, 
grew by 8%. Across both tote and fixed odds operations like-for-like expenses, also excluding stakes 
and depreciation, grew by 13%. Day to day operating expenses are under constant scrutiny. 

Interbet positively affected equity accounted income with share of profits of R5 million in the current 
year, up from R1,6 million in the previous year, the prior year representing nine months share of 
profits effective from 1 November 2014. 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
International operations contributed an extremely pleasing R163,0 million pre-tax compared with 
R110,6 million in the prior year. 

Phumelela's international operations provide a substantial rand hedge with profits favourably
impacted by a weaker rand relative to major trading currencies during the year.

Phumelela's 50% investment in Premier Gateway International (PGI), located on the Isle of Man, 
the export of live broadcast of South African horseracing, and the first-time contribution of 
Arena Racing Company all contributed to an excellent result. 

The combined pre-tax profit contribution comprises 127% of Group pre-tax profit before the ASL 
fair value adjustment of R5,6 million. The Group's investment in ASL is held for sale. 

With effect from May, win, place and swinger bets on Hong Kong races have been commingled into 
Hong Kong's tote pools. Commingling gives local punters the opportunity to participate in the one 
of the largest tote pools in the world. 

Included in operating expenses of R199,1 million is R104,0 million in intellectual property rights 
fees, which increased by 52%. 

FINANCIAL POSITION 
The Group has a strong financial position. 

Cash generated from operating activities, after a release of cash from working capital of 
R29,9 million, was R143,0 million. 

Dividends received from equity accounted investees contributed an additional R71,0 million.

Capital expenditure, including stay in business and expansion, was R76,4 million of which 
R74,2 million was on property, plant and equipment and R2,2 million on intangibles. R8 million was 
spent converting the Vaal sand track to grass. 

Dividends paid to shareholders amounted to R70,1 million.

Total assets are R944,0 million, which includes property, plant and equipment at a carrying value 
of R458,9 million, goodwill and intangibles valued at R66,7 million, and equity accounted investees 
valued at R75,5 million. 

Attributable equity amounts to R513,1 million and represents a net asset value per share of 
688,33 cents. 

Return on opening equity of 27% is very pleasing and exceeds cost of capital by a substantial margin. 

The Group has a net cash position of R11,9 million and has adequate borrowing facilities. The Group 
has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to meet its ongoing operational needs. 

A combination of recurring income, in the form of broadcast rights, variable but reasonably 
consistent transactional income, and the benefits of incremental income from investment in growth 
and development of international and local tote, fixed odds and media income provides a relatively 
dependable cash flow.Whilst regulatory factors are a risk of doing business the Board believes these 
are mitigated and that relationships with relevant authorities are constructive and cooperative. 

SHARE CAPITAL
There was no movement in authorised or issued share capital during the year under review.

INVESTMENT
On 9 December 2015, Phumelela announced an intension to acquire 50% of the shares of Supabets SA 
Holdings Proprietary Limited ('Supabets'). Supabets is one of the leading and fastest growing 
sports betting and gaming groups in Africa with a specific focus in the high growth fixed odds 
sports betting market. Information relating to this transaction is in the public domain and 
availablefor view via the investor relations portal on the Group website. 

MATTERS OF CORPORTE INTEREST AND LITIGATION
On 13 July 2016, the Competition Commission issued a notice of non-referral in respect of consolidated 
complaints lodged by Gauteng Off-Course Bookmakers' Association, the KwaZulu-Natal Bookmakers' Society, 
and various individual bookmakers with the Competition Commission. 

On 9 March 2016 Cabinet approved the National Gambling Policy Review Document which forms the basis 
of a National Gambling Amendmend Bill that was recently published for broader public comment. 
Whilst a number of Phumelela's concerns have been favourably addressed including the bookmakers' 
'open bet' and the right to be compensated for the use of the Group's intellectual property, a few 
pressing issues remain, the most notable being:
-  Operators in the business of taking bets or wagers should be prevented from collecting bets on the 
   lottery results or conducting sports pools in terms of a licence issued under gambling legislations 
   across the country. Bets on lottery results and sports pools must only be authorised in terms of the 
   lottery legislation; or
-  Operators must be required to contribute a reasonable percentage from their gross gambling revenue 
   into the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund ('NLDTF') as shall be prescribed by the 
   Minister after consulting Council.

Implementation of the policy in respect of Tote bets on sports other than horseracing would put the 
Tote operators at a competitive disadvantage to bookmakers and the National Lottery and could 
potentially have a detrimental effect on Phumelela, horseracing and betting taxes earned by each of 
the provinces. Phumelela offered Tote bets on sports other than horseracing prior to the introduction 
of the National Lottery and has done so with approval from the provincial gambling boards ever since. 
Phumelela believes that the removal of its right to offer Tote bets on sports other than horseracing 
would be unconstitutional and has engaged Government in this regard. 

Phumelela is a defendant in respect of three applications in the High Court of South Africa. 

Details pertaining to Matters of Corporate Interest and Litigation are disclosed in full in the Report 
of the Directors in the annual financial statements. 

The outcome of the relevant actions noted under Matters of Corporate Interest and Litigation remains 
uncertain and may have an impact on future earnings.

RELATED PARTIES
Other than in the normal course of business, there have been no significant transactions during the

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Phumelela was independently rated in March 2015 as an AAA level two broad-based black economic 
empowerment contributor. The Department of Trade and Industry has subsequently issued revised Codes of 
Good Practice under the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act and Phumelela is working towards 
achieving this status in terms of the new criteria in the shortest possible time. Phumelela was ranked 
eighth on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in the most recent top 100 Most Empowered Companies ranked by 
Empowerdex. 

The Group recognises that it has a responsibility to the broader community to act in a socially 
responsible manner, for the benefit of all South Africans. Contributions to selected training, sports 
and community service related projects continue. The Group has adopted appropriate BEE and employment 
equity, training and procurement policies. 

DIRECTORS
Other than the appointment of Mr. Brian Finch as a director of the Company, there were no other changes
to the composition of the Board during the year.

PROSPECTS
The acquisition of Supabets is to be funded through a combination of new shares issued to the seller, 
a rights issue to shareholders and any remainder through the Group's cash and debt facilities. The 
investment is expected to contribute positively to earnings per share going forward. 

Our international operations thrive on the quality of the year-round South African horseracing, 
for which there is strong and growing demand. Phumelela is opening up new markets to South African 
punters. The Group's agreement with Arena Racing Company will contribute meaningfully to Group 
earnings in 2017. 

The Group is delivering the anticipated returns from investments made in the fixed odds retail footprint 
and expects further improvement in profitability in 2017. 

Off a strong platform and with the benefit of acquisitions, the Group is targeting another year of real
growth in earnings per share. 

Any forward looking statements of forecasts contained in these results have not been reviewed or 
reported on by the Group auditors.
