    as well as its investment in a British wine broking company. During the previous financial year, it impaired the Bisquit brand as
    the expected potential market growth in China and Russia at the time of acquisition did not materialise.

COMMENTARY

FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the six months ended 31 December 2016 Distell's revenue increased by 2.4% to R12.5 billion on a sales
volume decline of 3.1%. Reported headline earnings for the six months ended 31 December 2016 increased by
1.1% to R1 176.9 million, while headline earnings per share increased by 1.0% to 536.8 cents. The financial
results for the period, supported by further efficiency improvements and cost containment initiatives across the
business, was negatively impacted by a stronger rand, particularly against the British Pound, compared to the
comparative period. Excluding currency conversions, Distell's headline earnings increased by 20.9%.

Capevin Holdings' headline earnings per share for the six months ended 31 December 2016 consequently
increased by 0.8% to 35.8 cents (2015: 35.5 cents).

Capevin Holdings' intrinsic value per share decreased by 10.4% from R10.79 on 30 June 2016 to R9.67 on
31 December 2016, based on Distell's last traded share price of R145.00 at that date (excluding capital gains
tax), while the discount to intrinsic value has narrowed from 16.8% to 3.8%. On 24 February 2017, Distell's
share price decreased to R144.00, while Capevin Holdings' decreased to R9.15 (31 December 2016: R9.65)
and the discount to its intrinsic value per share increased to 4.7%.

PROSPECTS
Distell's board believes that the outlook for global economic growth remains lacklustre amid rising global
economic and political uncertainty, while African GDP growth will still be impacted by the commodity price
slump. On the domestic front competition is intensifying and growth is nearing recession levels as consumer
confidence remains low and exchange rates continue to be volatile. It is expected that challenging trading
conditions in many of Distell's markets will persist for the remainder of the year and that a modest recovery in
economic growth is only expected next year. Distell is phasing the level of investment in priority markets in
light of the prevailing economic conditions. However, the strength, appeal and diversity of the company's
brands, its enhanced capacity to trade across a spectrum of markets and the security of its financial position will
allow Distell to continue pursuing its strategic ambitions.

Distell believes it will respond effectively to the changing macro environment by focusing on growth,
improving productivity and simplifying the way it works. As such, the company is evaluating its operating
model in order to reduce its cost base and further enhancing efficiencies as it continues to pursue growth
domestically and in selected international markets.
