Trading Statement
Stefanutti Stocks Holdings Limited
(Registration number 1996/003767/06)
Share code: SSK ISIN: ZAE000123766
(“Stefanutti Stocks” or “the Group”)
TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of paragraph 3.4 (b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the board of
directors of Stefanutti Stocks hereby provides shareholders with a trading update of the Group’s
results for the six months ended 31 August 2016.
Earnings per share and headline earnings per share are expected to be between 0% and 15%
higher than the corresponding period, translating into earnings per share of between 54,09 cents
and 62,20 cents per share (August 2015: 54,09 cents) and headline earnings per share of between
48,46 cents and 55,73 cents per share (August 2015: 48,46 cents).
The discontinued operations disclosed in the corresponding period had no impact in the current
reporting period. In comparing the above expected results, it should be noted that for the period to
August 2015 comparative trading results have been restated to exclude the impact of discontinued
operations. This has resulted in higher historic earnings per share and headline earnings per share
of 69.02 cents and 63.12 cents respectively.
The strengthening of the Rand during the period and the weakening of African currencies in which
Stefanutti Stocks operates has had a significant negative effect on the Group’s profitability.
The Settlement Agreement concluded with the South African Government disclosed in the SENS
announcement released on 11 October 2016 has no financial effect on the results for the six
months ended 31 August 2016.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the Group’s auditors.
The release of the results for the six months ended 31 August 2016 is anticipated to be published
on 10 November 2016.
